Is it desirable to have multiple sources saying the same thing? I’m not sure where to look in project space for that one. I came across an article citing four sources for four different claims, and two of those sources could each verify everything. It struck me as not best practice, but like I said, I wasn’t sure where to look for guidance. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 04:33, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

hi - i am aware of a "prominent" individual with a spurious past who seems to have had significant reedit of her page, which now has no reference to the cited court cases against her etc. this individual is highly litigious and tries to prevent free speech through aggressive legal practices. Wikipedia should reflect the background of the individual not what the individual wants us to see. I am unsure if this section is in the public domain, but i would like to have a wiki expert review the profile in more detail and to give me thee view as to whether this is a fair editing of her profile.

Hello, I was wondering about references and credibility with a current page I am working on for a client of mine. This is my first time creating a wikipedia page and the last editor who reviewed and denied my first submission noted "credibility issues", however when I searched other political figures I noticed some had references which led to 404 broken links.

Hi teahouse, this is a great find as I have been struggling over seemingly trivial edits to a page I am creating.
Here goes: 1. On the personal infobox (it is a biographical page) I am trying to get the date to read 'August 17, 1983' but it keeps coming up '1983-08-17' 2. Also on the personal infobox I would like to link certain elements (such as place of birth). How do I do this? 3. Again on personal infobox the photo file name is showing underneath the thumbnail image --> will this still happen when it goes live? I would like to caption the photo, but not the filename 4. I am also trying to hyperlink just one thing to the company website (as there isn't a wiki), but can't figure out how

I have noticed that one Wikipedia write up on the history of a neighborhood includes wrong information, wrong historic dates, wrong associations and in some cases, unreferenced information. The problem seems to be that one long time Wikipedia member keeps reverting the information to his/her original writeup, regardless of how well documented the correct writeup is (which comes from a group of historians). The individual making the constant reversions claims in the reversion "unsourced speculation, synthesis, etc" and also claims that the page has a permanent unchanged link. It would seem that the editor does not his/her work updated or changed.

Hi, I have been working for the past 6 months: Walshy Fire this a submission that is for a public figure, Walshy Fire- he is part of the band Major Lazer. Major Lazer has two other members- Diplo and Jillionaire, each of whom have their own Wikipedia pages. This page I am working on keeps getting rejected for this person not being "notable" and not enough citations. We have many citations from notable sources on this person in the draft and his part in Major Lazer and as a solo DJ just like his two bandmates. I am having a hard time grasping how he could be denied and the others could be allowed, one of the others has far less citations than Walshy Fire does.

Hello! I have no experience of editing Wikipedia or updating pages. The company I work for has a page that someone else set up years ago, but this is now out of date and the logo needs updating. I now need to be the person who "officially" maintains this page, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I have my own login, the login details of the person who originally created the page are not available to me. Can I be the official administrator of our corporate page without these original login details, or is this the only way to take this forward? I'm planning on going through all of the training material on how to edit, etc., but I want to make sure I have the correct level/type of login before any editing is attempted. Or doesn't it matter?

I know effectively nothing about Wikipedia (the editing side of things, at least); the conflict of interest policy as far as I could tell states that it is not necessarily a problem, but that it often is, and I do not know enough to be able to figure that out.
I happened to note that both 208.81.212.222 and 208.81.212.224 have made edits to Global Relay, and 208.81.212.0/22 (which includes both IPs) is registered to Global Relay Communications Inc. according to whois data.
None of said edits seem problematic to me; that being said, I know next to nothing about how things are done here, so I would prefer to leave it in the hands of someone who has some vague clue as to what to do. I don't want to step on people's toes, but I don't want to just ignore it either.
Hence: what, if anything, should be done about this?

The main topic page is regarding List of conflicts in Angola. For example in the section of List of conflicts in Angola#Kingdom of Kongo, there is excessive use of C.E., which is common era. Plus, there is a comma in the years. My first instinct is to delete the commas in the dates and remove the "C.E." but I believe that maybe acceptable. What is the correct format? TheDwellerCamp ( talk) 04:16, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
In general, do not use CE or AD unless required to avoid ambiguity or awkwardness. So ultimately, it's up to your own editorial judgment whether the "C.E." is necessary to avoid ambiguity/awkwardness. I definitely agree that the commas should be removed. Personally, I also agree that the "C.E."s are excessive and unnecessary – I would remove them too. Mz7 ( talk) 04:31, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I recently created my first non-scientist article, about a political candidate/community advocate Alexandra_Kaur_Bhathal who has been in the media recently. It was published after three (helpful) rounds of review, but has now been flagged for deletion because the article is about a political candidate.
I had created the article because, as a resident in the electorate, I couldn't find an aggregated summary of the information (eg policies, heritage, profession) that had been in numerous news articles over many years Bhathal has been a prominent voice and notable repeat political contender in our community. Bhathal is mentioned on a number of Wikipedia pages which I have begun linking to the article.
I'm not affiliated with any political party and I think the article is written factually (and has been through three reviews before being accepted for publication) and copiously references unbiased, non partisan sources (and there have been more articles recently, eg https://theconversation.com/election-podcast-the-greens-fight-for-batman-and-wills-60340 and http://www.theaustralian.com.au/federal-election-2016/federal-election-2016-feeney-would-have-lost-without-lib-help/news-story/fb3bf78052aa5a5006bef4ac6b41a363 - does that give it a chance to escape deletion?
(Also, there are many other articles for political candidates that seem to be less widely referenced and more promotional than mine: Henry_A._Moehlenpah, Beki_Adam, Monty_Goldman, Lauren_Southern, Dakta_Green, Jim_Rogers_(Oklahoma_politician), Jill_Ovens, Pedyr_Prior .... do these set a precedent for retention or is there a subtlety I don't understand?)

I'm not affiliated with any political party and I think the article is written factually (and has been through three reviews before being accepted for publication) and copiously references unbiased, non partisan sources (and there have been more articles recently, eg https://theconversation.com/election-podcast-the-greens-fight-for-batman-and-wills-60340 and http://www.theaustralian.com.au/federal-election-2016/federal-election-2016-feeney-would-have-lost-without-lib-help/news-story/fb3bf78052aa5a5006bef4ac6b41a363 - does that give it a chance to escape deletion?
(Also, there are many other articles for political candidates that seem to be less widely referenced and more promotional than mine: Henry_A._Moehlenpah, Beki_Adam, Monty_Goldman, Lauren_Southern, Dakta_Green, Jim_Rogers_(Oklahoma_politician), Jill_Ovens, Pedyr_Prior .... do these set a precedent for retention or is there a subtlety I don't understand?)

Suppose an wiki article is already rated as low importance, but i think it should be upgraded as mid importance. could i do that? if not, then could i suggest that? and how? Could i newly rate one? RIT RAJARSHI ( talk) 07:35, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
