I was trying figure out how to do a minor edit to change a name of a musician in an article. When I went on the page and changed it, they removed my edit as vandalism which it isn't. It is a true and correct fact that Larry Sapp is now Raine Von Kiska. This person has transitioned their gender and would like their current/correct name listed. I am obviously not technically savvy enough to figure this out, so once I accomplish getting my friends name corrected on her old band page I will most likely be done for a while. I have found published online sources I can reference to show the information as fact. How do I submit them? Here are several published online sources verifying the information I am trying to edit.: [1]
How do I get this done? I keep getting accused of vandalism. This is not vandalism, I am trying to make the page accurate and give Raine her proper credit. Sunnybunny5us ( talk) 22:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. I still don't fully understand the process, but that's partly due to my own lack of technical skills. I'm going to ask my daughter who is more computer literate than I am to help me do this. Hopefully I'll get it right. It may take a couple of days for her to get around to helping me, but it's been taking Raine several years to get these things done anyway. Are the sources that I'm listing here sufficient? If not, can you suggest what kind of sources would be better? (Also maybe my daughter can help me figure that out too) Sunnybunny5us ( talk) 16:37, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
So what would be a reliable source to change her name with? She has legally and physically changed to become Raine and this is a fact not heresay. So if she isn't famous or anything shouldn't they still change it here? What do they need that I or she could provide as proof?

Some people asked me to translate the French article fr:Castellanus into English. The notability of the article should be OK since the French article has plenty of references (in English mainly). However since I do not know how the Meteorology project works in English, I am hesitating to hyperlink the article to existing articles. My plan is first to produce my translation in my user space, ask someone to review my English and then transfer the article into the namespace. However I would prefer to limit the number of hyperlinks to this new article since I am a newbie and I do not want to be blocked because my bad understanding of the rules. Is it acceptable to have an orphan article with plenty of interwikis? I would appreciate the help. Thanks. Malosse ( talk) 01:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
I've been around around WP a while, but only doing tiny things like Talk Page questions and grammar correction, nothing big, nothing technical. So -
1. My ID appears redlined in the other WP platforms (Wikimedia Commons, Wikibooks, Wiktionary, etc). Do I need to join each site separately? If so, should I use the same user name?
2. I want to link a Wikimedia Commons image to a TP entry, but can't find information on how to cross-link the various WP platforms. Neither the square braces nor the curly braces work.

Need help?
I am trying to help a non-profit that represents more than 20,000 get into Wikipedia. Because it is new it doesn't have a lot fo external press yet, but it represents the first real organization battling online fraud, specifically Romance Scams in the world. If you look at their website www.AgainstRomanceScams.org you can see that they are substantial. They have members from 20 countries, and are putting up educational billboards in South East Asia. This is very real, but as I said, almost nothing in the press yet.
You will find the post in the Drafts under Society of Citizens Against Romance Scams Inc. They are being mentored by MADD, that wasn't much when they started either. People are literally killing themselves over these scams, so I am hoping a more skilled editor can help?

Linda, what you really need is a lot of WP:Independent reliable sources that talk about this company. Do you have ten or more newspaper or magazine articles about this company? Do those sources talk about the company, e.g., founding date, sales revenue, profitability, tax reductions/economic development incentives the company negotiated to have their business in a city? If you don't, then the company probably doesn't qualify for an article here.
You probably need to read the WP:BFAQ and the WP:LUC (as well as all of WP:COI, especially the parts about being paid to write an article, if that applies. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 09:12, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I identified a British fashion brand that didn't have a page and I've been working on the article https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Orlebar_Brown however it has been rejected due to a lack of 'substance'. I have included a brief summary, information on products, the history of the brand, information about their online and offline presence (physical shops, infrastructure) and celebrity endorsement but this doesn't seem to be enough. I have included 21 references from notable sources (The Guardian, Telegraph, Economist, Business of Fashion etc). When looking at other brand pages, the articles are so sparse and often so very biased! I'm at a loss as to why my page isn't getting through. It's my first article and I really want to succeed. I'd really appreciate any help/advice. Thanks so much in advance! Aimeliholm ( talk) 14:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I finished my first article, it was accepted but with "multiple" issues that I don't really understand. There is no conflict of interest and I am not a paid editor. In the article I used references and cites from many sources and wrote just facts found online, in newspapers, and many bits of info in the subjects biography written by someone else. Can someone help me with my first article please and tell me specifics of what needs to be done to the article to have the "multiple issues" removed. Here is the article: /info/en/?search=Scott_Nute , sorry, I put wrong link before, Spacestar7 ( talk) 20:51, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
I want to start a new page about Fjackets who is not already in Wikipedia. But every time I upload it, within 4 to 5 minutes it get deleted. What's the issue in it? Linda D. Jewell ( talk) 07:30, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
I've merged a new section here. — Rain Fall 08:07, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Linda, what you really need is a lot of WP:Independent reliable sources that talk about this company. Do you have ten or more newspaper or magazine articles about this company? Do those sources talk about the company, e.g., founding date, sales revenue, profitability, tax reductions/economic development incentives the company negotiated to have their business in a city? If you don't, then the company probably doesn't qualify for an article here.
You probably need to read the WP:BFAQ and the WP:LUC (as well as all of WP:COI, especially the parts about being paid to write an article, if that applies. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 09:12, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

I was checking Twinkle's page tag options. "article has unclear or inconsistent inline citations", "article has some references, but insufficient in-text citations" and "article has references, but no in-text citations". I need to know the difference between Inline citation and in-text citation. I know adding references and sources. Marvellous Spider-Man ( talk) 14:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Is there any way to change an article name? How about a draft name? I couldn't follow the instructions for creating a draft and ended up with a draft called draft! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmariez ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
Since it is getting rather popular, I drafted an article about the Transcrypt open source project that I initiated on:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Transcrypt
Before releasing it into article space, I'd like it to be reviewed. I've looked up how to do that following the instructions closely several times, but all it does is inserting a red banner on the talk page:
/info/en/?search=Draft_talk:Transcrypt
What am I missing?
Kind regards

Hi everyone, I identified a British fashion brand that didn't have a page and I've been working on the article https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Orlebar_Brown however it has been rejected due to a lack of 'substance'. I have included a brief summary, information on products, the history of the brand, information about their online and offline presence (physical shops, infrastructure) and celebrity endorsement but this doesn't seem to be enough. I have included 21 references from notable sources (The Guardian, Telegraph, Economist, Business of Fashion etc). When looking at other brand pages, the articles are so sparse and often so very biased! I'm at a loss as to why my page isn't getting through. It's my first article and I really want to succeed. I'd really appreciate any help/advice. Thanks so much in advance! Aimeliholm ( talk) 14:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
