Hi there, you kindly offered to lend a hand as I'm totally new at this. I'm trying to submit an entry about The Vice-Dean of Chester Cathedral and was told he isn't notable enough. He is a very senior priest and reverend canon within the C of E, and the Dean, already has an entry. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks. DevaWerburgh ( talk) 14:50, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed User:Ashwinbhajan/sandbox and declined it as lacking in adequate references. One of the references is the company’s own, and the other two didn’t appear relevant. I also put a copy-edit tag on the article. I now have a malformed comment on my talk page from User: Ashwinbhajan. It doesn't ask anything specific, but I assume that he or she meant to ask why the sandbox was declined. Can some other experienced editor review the sandbox and either explain to its author why it needs improvement, or explain to me why I should have accepted it?

A little bit of history: I created a page for an individual known as Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, however as I didn't want to forget my username for this project, I inappropriately used a username that connected me to the subject. I even admit this in a conversation with an administrator when using the ahmedsaad.ihsaninstitute username. Anyway, the account has been rightly deleted
I still feel there should be an article on this chap so I have re-written it (previous attempts used too many references from the chaps website). Please let me know what you think. I am trying not to make it promotional, however I feel there needs to be an article on him due to his media appearances and influence in combating extremism. I have also been made aware that I have used rotting links, however I am trying to reference the BBC's program called 'Doha Debates' which Ahmed Saad appeared on, however the link is dead, and the only refereces that seem available are from you tube. Shall I just stick to the you tube links when citing the doha debates?
Feel free to give me any other advice.
Thank you for your time. Please also see the logs under the blocked username ahmedsaad.ihsaninstitute Imran 108 ( talk) 19:37, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
I would like to add, should the administrators become satified with the validity of the article, could you please offer any advice in suggesting how the article can appear among the top hits on google? If i type 'ahmed saad al azhari' in google, there is a load of stuff om him, however it all seems promotional, therefore I was hoping that a well referenced, unbiased article would be needed among those hits.
Also, I was thinking on adding a picture - can you direct me to some instructions where I can add a picture of him?

Ok so I'm obviously new to this Wikipedia thing because I'm not even sure how to reply to my own thread. I'm wanting to either create a Wikipedia page on "Effects of microbeads on Canadian lakes and environment," and I've been told it would be better to add to the "Microbead" page which already exists. I have written this paper myself for school, but it is encyclopedic and formal with all the requirements of a proper Wikipedia page. The information includes onlyl Canadian examples and research, which is why I thought it should be its own stub. It also includes the Federal and Provincial solutions and proposals to solving the problems of microbeads (all properly cited, of course). Should I just try and create this as a new Wikipedia stub/page and they will put it onto the already existing "microbead" page if they feel it should not be its own page, or is there a way I can try to just add my information to the already existing page? Thanks to all whole reply :) Aidannoval ( talk) 06:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Help please! I need to make a disambiguation page with the title "Trampolene" so that people searching for the band Trampolene can be directed to "Trampolene_(Band)" instead of "Trampolene" a song by Julian Cope, which they are named after. I have read articles about how to write the page but please can someone explain how I would actually start the page and redirect the song so that searches don't automatically go there.

Hello,
I just noticed a reference section URL link that leads to a website unrelated to the article content. What is the correct tag/flag/note to add so that readers are aware of the problem and/or editors can address the problem? (And where should that be added?)
The article is One Direction, the reference is #105. It looks like the reference should link to a page devoted to an event; instead it links to a jewelry broker's site.

Hello,
I am writing an article on an ancient healing method that is very effective and verifiable through standard medical reports. However there is not much in terms of published information available on the subject. There are however medical reports of practitioners that corroborate results.
How do I get this article published?
Regards, Vishakha 1.23.72.46 ( talk) 16:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you all for your response. It has helped clarify my thoughts better. To answer your question about my contradictory views on published material; I considered published material as articles etc.. that are published by say a book or journal. I did not know if practitioner's medical reports could be considered as published material. From the comments above it seems like these reports can be considered as references and that is heartening. I'd like to rewrite my article and back it with all the references I have.

Hello. I am new to this area of Wiki... I first want to thank you for your kind invitation to learn. I suffer from lack of time to spend on such sites as I work two jobs. So, please forgive me in advance for any lack of knowledge that I currently do not posses on these matters.
I have a site that is almost all about "Events" and want to share the site on Wiki. So the first question is can I do that?
The next question is right up your alley. That is how to go about editing comments. Am I allowed to share the url here?

As for other sources of verification we offer also the registrar of Wild West domains on the who is.
Beginning March of 2016 we will begin running radio advertisements promoting the site with KVGCradio in Jackson California.
And as for conflict of interest maybe I should ask if a newspaper reporter from a small town would be able to write a non-biased, non-conflict of interest wiki. "Who wrote the one for Facebook?"
I am not discouraged as to my efforts in marketing the site. As I mentioned I wanted to see how Wiki was used and was forthright in the beginning as to being a novice.
This all smacks of "snobishness" and control of history and facts. Kind of like what is not shared here on what happened to the American Indians.. hmmm boycott.. wiki? Well..

Hello!
I recently submitted an article for 55 Places the community was kind enough to review for me on January 22nd. Unfortunately, it was rejected because of a "lack of notability".
I was just curious if someone may be able to expound on the factors within the article which lead to your decision so I can craft the article to better adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines.
Since 55 Places is an online entity, I considered submitting it as a website instead of a business and positioning the content from the angle of a the digital space as opposed to a brick & mortar business. Do you think this is something that may increase the chances it will be accepted?
Any feedback you would provide would be great!

I'd like to create a page called "Island Conservation" to describe an organization of the same name. Unfortunately "Island Conservation" currently redirects to "Island ecology" a related topic but hardly a huge overlap.
Island Conservation is a non-profit organization that has been in existence since 1994 dedicated to "preventing extinctions by removing invasive species from islands." It is the preeminent group conducting conservation on islands having deployed teams to protect 994 populations of 389 species on 52 islands. The organization has a staff of 40 people working in the Caribbean, North America, South America and the Pacific. You can read more here: http://www.islandconservation.org/mission-and-history/
I'm looking for a collaborator who can help me remove the redirect and create a stand alone page for the organization. Thank you for any help you can give me. User: angusparker Angus Parker ( talk) 04:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Angus Parker ( talk) 04:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I am trying to change the name of the wiki page, "Sea Around Us Project." The organization now uses the name, "Sea Around Us."
From what I've read, one needs to use the "move" button normally located on the top right of the page, when logged in. It does not look like I have a "move" button. I recently became a member eight days ago. From what I understand, I should be able to change the title of an article now.

Hello Community
I am writing my first page and I wanted to use a picture. I have emailed the owner of the photo and asked for permission to post their picture. There responded and said yes. What copyright tag would I use to validate my use of the photo. He has not explicitly said that everyone could use the photo but I am sure he would. What copyright tag should I use?

I uploaded and obtained permission for an image on:
It was working fine, but suddenly disappeared and I can't figure out how to fix it. Gaw54 ( talk) 16:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
I just discovered that someone deleted the file from Wikimedia without notifying me. This was done despite the fact that I had correctly uploaded the image and obtained permission: [Ticket#2016020110012237] Confirmation of receipt (Re: Copyright Authorizat [...]) There must be a better way to do this in a more collegial manner and not cause so many headaches. I've just wasted an hour trying to figure out how to deal with this and still have no resolution. Gaw54 ( talk) 17:06, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
OK Thanks, Would have been nice to have been brought into the loop when it was deleted yesterday. But all's well that ends well. Gaw54 ( talk) 17:15, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
They say it doesn't follow some bloody guidelines or another. All this bullshit is a bit too much for my brain to decipher, so if they want to delete the bastard, then so be it .... and history goes direct to the rubbish bin. I won't bother with this fn site anymore. Run by a bunch of geek brained wankers !!! Majicbooma ( talk) 19:49, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
For my class I am supposed to write a post under my talk section. I wrote and published one, but when I search myself my post does not come up. I am worried by teacher won't be able to find it. I am also searching my classmates usernames and nothing us coming up. What am I doing wrong?

Hello!
I recently submitted an article for 55 Places the community was kind enough to review for me on January 22nd. Unfortunately, it was rejected because of a "lack of notability".
I was just curious if someone may be able to expound on the factors within the article which lead to your decision so I can craft the article to better adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines.
Since 55 Places is an online entity, I considered submitting it as a website instead of a business and positioning the content from the angle of a the digital space as opposed to a brick & mortar business. Do you think this is something that may increase the chances it will be accepted?
Any feedback you would provide would be great!
Thanks! -Adam Drwoo12 ( talk) 17:49, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

A user is adding wrong wikilink in the lead of Sallekhana page. I reverted these edits considering it clear vandalism. I have reverted these edits more than 3 times. I haven't reverted the last edit. Will 3RR apply on my edits. Also, please revert the last edit, it is very much wrong. It is the first line of the page. - जैन ( talk) 15:48, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
I'd like to create a page called "Island Conservation" to describe an organization of the same name. Unfortunately "Island Conservation" currently redirects to "Island ecology" a related topic but hardly a huge overlap.
Island Conservation is a non-profit organization that has been in existence since 1994 dedicated to "preventing extinctions by removing invasive species from islands." It is the preeminent group conducting conservation on islands having deployed teams to protect 994 populations of 389 species on 52 islands. The organization has a staff of 40 people working in the Caribbean, North America, South America and the Pacific. You can read more here: http://www.islandconservation.org/mission-and-history/
I'm looking for a collaborator who can help me remove the redirect and create a stand alone page for the organization. Thank you for any help you can give me. User: angusparker Angus Parker ( talk) 04:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Angus Parker ( talk) 04:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I am trying to change the name of the wiki page, "Sea Around Us Project." The organization now uses the name, "Sea Around Us."
From what I've read, one needs to use the "move" button normally located on the top right of the page, when logged in. It does not look like I have a "move" button. I recently became a member eight days ago. From what I understand, I should be able to change the title of an article now.
Any information would be great!
