I recently visited the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site in California and took two photos that I think would be a fun addition to the page. They go with a story about Katherine Hepburn convincing a San Francisco department store to sell back the Chinese teak bed that O'Neill used to have in the house, so that the historic site would be more like it was when he and his wife lived there.
Two questions:
Thanks! Bayguy42 ( talk) 22:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Part of the story is related in Ms. Hepburn's letter (which you can see lying on the bed); the rest was told to me by a National Park Service ranger. I could possibly get the story in writing if I send an email to NPS. How do you think we should proceed?
Bayguy42 ( talk) 23:10, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
DESiegel, I'm happy to let you edit the page and decide where the story and photos should go.

We have posted a true and correct article on Prabhat Paul Jain with the appropriate references. Please advise what we have to do to ensure that this article is not deleted. Thank you. Techno-Trend ( talk) 11:49, 14 July 2017 (UTC) @ Techno-Trend: Hello. The first issue is that you use "we" above; a username cannot be that of a group or business, and cannot be shared between individuals per the username policy. Your username must indicate that you and only you are using it. To change your username, please visit this page for instructions. I would further add that if you represent the person you are writing about, you will need to review the conflict of interest and paid editing policies(the latter of which is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use if you have a paid relationship)
Regarding your quesiton, you may wish to contribute to the deletion discussion, but from what I see the concern seems to be that no independent reliable sources that indicate how the person is notable are given. Wikipedia does not deal in what is true, but what can be independently verified. The sources given must not be associated with the person in any way. Wikipedia is not interested in what someone says about themselves, but what independent sources say about them. 331dot ( talk) 11:55, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Non-independent sources are acceptable for basic details such as the person's date of birth, but independent sources are needed to demonstrate notability. The tone of the article is all wrong, too. Wikipedia's guidelines will never allow unsourced commentary (in Wikipedia's voice) such as The story about "never giving up" follows him today after his paternal grandfather who stood at the gates of a British officer for 8 hours in 45°C, till the officer met him and gave him an engineering job in the Eastern Railway system. Simply, the officer did not know of anyone who wanted the job that badly

@ John from Idegon, Thank you for Joining this discussion. Well, I am sorry for using We, in my question up there..Well the reason, 'We' have been used that too unintentionally, was that I and my son were working together on this article.

Barbara Lloyd, Provincetown Arts, 1990. Is "Provincetown Arts" the name of a book, an article, a publication containing an article, or what? Where was it published? Who published it? Is it Provincetown Arts Magazine? If so, what page did the quote appear on? How is the reader to find and verify this quotation?
The Iowa art department was a highly unusual place - an outpost of modernism in the conservative heartland. It was not surprising, then, that a commissioned portrait of J.W. Maucker, president of the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), catapulted Lechay to brief statewide fame in March 1966.(from the Iowa City years section) presents several opinions/judgements in Wikipedia's voice. This is not acceptable. Who says the art department was unusual? Who thinks that the fame was unsurprising? Such opinions and judgements must be directly attributed to a named person or entity, in an indirect or direct quote, and supported by a direct inline citation. Text such as

Hi, I've been trying to be more thorough in my checking of policy before making editorial decisions as I've come to realize just how much policy there is, and something that's been bugging me is the usage is of Template:Interlanguage link vs Template:Interlanguage Link (pardon if formatting is messy I can't preview bc the teahouse is weird). The Interlanguage links help page says that "It is sometimes possible to combine the two approaches" of leaving the English redlink with the parenthetical ILL after it, but I can't imagine a reason why this approach would ever be impossible. I mostly just want to know what the preferred option is, because up till now I've been trying to avoid redlinks and hence linking to people like Pierpaolo Vargiu in such a way that the redlink isn't visible but now that I'm seeing ILL templates left and right I'm not sure if this is right. Should I be using Pierpaolo Vargiu in such situations? Mehmuffin ( talk) 14:46, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
:it:Pierpaolo Vargiu
, use the two-letter code to the Italian wikipedia as either {{
link language|it}} or {{
it icon}}. This will produce:
it:Pierpaolo Vargiu(in Italian). (Note that
interwiki links are a slightly lighter blue.) This can be used in the lead, body, and the Exernal links section. For foreign-language references in a citation template, the parameter |language=
should be used (in this example, using "it"). The language codes match those of the foreign-language wikipedias, or can be found on the
list of ISO 639 codes. –

13:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)Hi, my name is Susan Yarborough, but my login is Lady Serif. I am editing the above referenced page and am a definite newbie.
The original charter of St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Augusta, Georgia) states that its name is Saint Paul's Church. That is the name that has been used for the church historically in the city of Augusta since its founding in 1750. The name "St. Paul's" in the National Register Information Database is unhistorical and steps are being taken to change it there. How can I change the name in the page heading and if necessary have the page moved to reflect the church's historic name?
Many thanks.

I saw Dates in Wikipedia by User:Jroehl on New Page Patrol. It didn’t have references, which I know are always required in article space, and it appeared to be of more interest to Wikipedia editors than to general readers. I moved it to Wikipedia space as WP:Dates in Wikipedia. Will other editors please look at it and see if they think that was a reasonable quick decision? I thought it was likely to be deleted, and ought to be deleted, in article space, but that is my opinion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:59, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
DESiegel,
We collect all dates with the following formats. Substitute MONTH with a month name and the number sign (#) with numbers. It takes a fast computer about 3 weeks to collect 38 million dates from 5 million articles. This is serious data processing. We know there must be historians out there that will be interested in our data, we just don't know how to let them know we have this comprehensive and gigantic resource.

Hi I wrote an article about my game RheAbi, but the only reference I could come up with was my game website rheabi.com. According to the editor that was the only thing that got my article refused.

Well, before we can get published we need to get noticed. It really is a catch 22. Nobody will notice we have this, because nobody knows we have this. It is pretty frustrating, actually.

Why my page is not published?? ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karim1464 ( talk • contribs) 17:09, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I've been requested to increase publicity for a British American Football team. Unfortunately the first page I did was tagged for speedy deletion. Many other similar teams have pages and justbwondering how to have a page stay rather than deleted.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance, Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wingm74 ( talk • contribs) 21:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
My teen students have been working hard on /info/en/?search=Draft:Girls_Inc._of_the_Island_City and would love if an editor could give us some feedback on whether it is real to go live.
We have been using /info/en/?search=Girls_Incorporated_of_Southwestern_Connecticut as a template of a local Girls Inc. group and trying to go beyond that.
Thanks! ChrisBennett ( talk) 18:32, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I do understand the meaning of an article being an orphan. But can anyone here help me to de-orphan my article Whiteplains British School since there are some lists of articles or links link to it? I have tried to de-orphan the same article but not sure I succeeded. Meanwhile, it is difficult for the article to be located on Wikipedia for readership?

In your opinion, should I use the term suo jure or the English translation "in his/her own right", with a link to the article Suo jure, to describe female rulers and their husbands who held titles of their own? Векочел ( talk) 04:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
I would like to edit an article for which I have a COI. I work for one of the companies the biography article person owns. My intent is to update and add facts in as neutral a way as possible. I would source every fact. My question is, can I do the edits or do I just suggest them? Portlandholdings ( talk) 12:24, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi I am from India and I want to create a wiki page and I want to add photo in a person's info box Help me !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua Immanuel Saviour Lavy ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Greetings! I am creating my first page, this about an artist who is dead. I am in contact with his son and receiving information for the page from him. I don't see how to cite information from an email (is this even allowed?). Very little information about this artist has been published, so I am sure I'm going to get a lot of information from his son. Many thanks in advance.

Really though, where did they go? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aritra.g ( talk • contribs) 04:43, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I want to be able to edit a paragraph of text that contains some references (6 to be exact). I need to add some more text and also another 5 references. I have tried clicking the edit button against the paragraph I need to amend and that works OK. However, when I need to do the same in the references the edit window opens and is blank; the existing 6 references are not there... I was hoping they would be showing and I could just add my 5 additional references to them. Help please... :( 2A00:23C4:565E:D800:2045:814C:BFCD:4732 ( talk) 14:51, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi I wrote an article about my game RheAbi, but the only reference I could come up with was my game website rheabi.com. According to the editor that was the only thing that got my article refused. I got referred back to Wikipedia's instruction pages, and I intend to read them again, but I didn't find anything clear on how to get references for games. I thought I'd ask you people here to see if any of you may have some suggestions for me. Thanks. Checkseal ( talk) 15:21, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
