Hello,
I recently submitted a second draft for an entry for the company Merrithew. I created a new page, as the old page was created under the username Merrithew, which I created because I wanted to differentiate my account from my colleague's account Rebecca at Merrithew. An editor informed me of my mistake that I couldn't name myself after a company, and I wanted to correct that mistake. However, the username Merrithew was rerouted to link to my colleague's account, Rebecca at Merrithew. I know that multiple users cannot use the same account, and I wanted to make sure I was complying with Wiki's rules about this, so I created the username Laura at Merrithew. Because I had a new username, I mistakenly assumed that meant that I needed to create a new page for Merrithew. Another editor informed me of my mistake. Now I'm unsure of how to proceed. I want to make sure that I am doing this correctly. I would like to take the editor's advice on editing the second draft, but I'm not sure in which space I should edit. Should I transfer the edits of the second Merrithew page to the first? Is there a way to delete one of the pages? Any advice on how to proceed would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance! Laura Laura at Merrithew ( talk) 16:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ian,
Thanks very much for taking the time to explain things to me, and I appreciate your advice. It's very useful. I'll try my best to take the sales pitch out of it and pare it down to something that is acceptable to Wiki's standards.

tags around {{Submit}} in your question, to stop the submission template from appearing here at the Teahouse. Ironically, you have placed these tags around the template at
Draft:World Figure Championship, and as a result the draft has not actually been submitted for review (although you did manage to accidentally submit the Teahouse questions page for review!).

Dear Wikipedians,
I am an old reader of Wikipedia, but I opened an account to start editing yesterday.
The reason: I need to publish information about the company I work in and its patented technology.
The problem: After learning the policies, I realised following issues: 1/ The company I work for is not notable enough. There are no references on reliable sources and the company is still young. 2/ There is a clear COI. My job is International Marketing, so this should be also considered as a paid-editing and the article I write probably will have many COI biases.
So, I assume it is too early for the company to have its own Wikipedia page.
But besides that, we have a unique technology that is patented by us. It's a kind of a double-sided USB port which is insertable either ways. The technology is worth noting.
I am planning to contribute the information about this technology into USB article of Wikipedia
[1]
About the references, there are photos of the USB product and official web-site of the company, but no reliable 3rd-party references, yet.
So, do you think it is approvable to contribute that new piece of information into existing article about USB?
The USB article is quite complex, important and sensitive. So I think, I should be cautious about where to put that information, how to put it and be neutral in description.
Any help and advice will be very appreciated. Thank you. Shoh 10:32, 11 April 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shohruhjon ( talk • contribs)
@ Shohruhjon: What a nice thing to say! Many of us try to help new users but seldom is the appreciation said so warmly. Thank you! Enjoy your time at Wikipedia and keep today in mind when you run across difficulties. Sadly we have a whole range of editors and inevitably you will find conflicts. Always remember that there are many good and helpful people here despite the occasional pain-in-the-butts. Follow the rules and keep your cool and most important of all have fun. If it stops being fun take a break.

I happen to know a user who is notoriously active in deleting pages and having users blocked. After reviewing her talk age and contribution, it seems that this is what she does all the time. I checked her contributions to wikipedia in past 1 week it is 1 edit and past 1 month, it is 4 edits, but she has been quite active in Afd pages and nominating article for deletion. I have a doubt that she represents a firm that manipulated wikipedia entries for other firms/people for monetary return. Many other users share this belief and have attacked on her talk page for her vandalism, she seems to have been blocked previously 3 times from wikipedia. Where and how can I report her?

), then start a new section, identifying what edits you felt were unconstructive and asking them politely to stop, but don't directly accuse them of vandalism yet. When in doubt, you should always assume the editor is contributing
in good faith (i.e. not vandalism) – perhaps there's more the the story you aren't aware of. The places to seek administrator attention on an issue is
Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism if it is straightforward vandalism or
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents if it is more complicated. However, administrators will usually look for evidence that you attempted to communicate with the user before taking action. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am editing Template:Hong Kong weatherbox.
The template has a single weatherbox template there for Hong Kong. I found another weatherbox for Hong Kong's Airport, which was found in Climate of Hong Kong. I want to add it to Template:Hong Kong weatherbox in a way that lets editors choose between which weatherbox to display. I'm not sure which parser function to use - if or switch. Basically what I want to happen is that
If the template is written as
{{Hong Kong weatherbox}}
with no value in parameter 1, then only the usual HK weatherbox will show.
If the template is written as
{{Hong Kong weatherbox|airport}}
with
airport
value in parameter 1, then only the airport weatherbox will show.
I don't know which parser function to use so I'm asking here
The weatherbox code (airport) is here on this page in hidden text.

I reviewed Draft:Tinman (Nkx2-5) gene. I declined it due to issues with the formatting of the references. I also asked why the gene is called ‘tin’ or ‘tinman’. I then received a talk page note, generated by pressing a button, with no further content, from User:Avery.brister, which I know asks for help. It appeared to me that what needed to be done was to insert a {{reflist}} template under References, which I have done, but that doesn’t solve the problem. It appears that the author may have caused the duplication of the references by the way that they defined them, because they put the references at the end with pointers to them, rather than including them in-line. Comments?
By the way, can anyone confirm that there is a guideline, in the process of being developed, that all human genes are notable? I support such a guideline, since I think that human genes are at least as notable as professional athletes (and genes may be part of what make the professional athletes notable). Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:31, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. This raises a question that comes up from time to time. Sometimes a draft is submitted for which there is already an article, but the draft is obviously better than the article. AFC is not designed as a process to replace or improve articles, but, as its name implies, to create them. If the draft is clearly better than the article, is it necessary for the author of the draft to edit each of the improved parts of the article in order to maintain the history, or may the draft be copy-pasted in place of the original article? What might be best in terms of the history would be to delete the existing article and copy the draft, thus preserving its history (and deleting the history of the old article that no longer exists), but what deletion procedure can be used? What can be done in this situation (where the draft is clearly better than the article)? We don't want to make it burdensome for the author of the draft, who has already done Wikipedia a service.

I reviewed Draft:Tinman (Nkx2-5) gene. I declined it due to issues with the formatting of the references. I also asked why the gene is called ‘tin’ or ‘tinman’. I then received a talk page note, generated by pressing a button, with no further content, from User:Avery.brister, which I know asks for help. It appeared to me that what needed to be done was to insert a {{reflist}} template under References, which I have done, but that doesn’t solve the problem. It appears that the author may have caused the duplication of the references by the way that they defined them, because they put the references at the end with pointers to them, rather than including them in-line. Comments?
By the way, can anyone confirm that there is a guideline, in the process of being developed, that all human genes are notable? I support such a guideline, since I think that human genes are at least as notable as professional athletes (and genes may be part of what make the professional athletes notable).

Thank you. This raises a question that comes up from time to time. Sometimes a draft is submitted for which there is already an article, but the draft is obviously better than the article. AFC is not designed as a process to replace or improve articles, but, as its name implies, to create them. If the draft is clearly better than the article, is it necessary for the author of the draft to edit each of the improved parts of the article in order to maintain the history, or may the draft be copy-pasted in place of the original article? What might be best in terms of the history would be to delete the existing article and copy the draft, thus preserving its history (and deleting the history of the old article that no longer exists), but what deletion procedure can be used? What can be done in this situation (where the draft is clearly better than the article)? We don't want to make it burdensome for the author of the draft, who has already done Wikipedia a service.
