Hello. A while ago i adapted the german Version of Vaginamuseum. Today I edited the english article. When I wanted to publish the article suddenly this came up: Fehler: Diese Aktion wurde automatisch als schädlich erkannt und deshalb nicht ausgeführt. Wenn du denkst, dass deine Aktion konstruktiv war, wende dich bitte an einen Administrator und schildere ihm, was du versucht hast beizutragen. Kurzbeschreibung der verletzten Regel: Vandalism in all caps.
I did not do any vandalism, I just adapted the text, cleared the structure of the content, addeded sources and embedded images...
I already wrote a help on the talk-page, tried to contact another user, wrote some help on my own talk-page and asked at the chat. Until now, no one answered. What do I have to do now? Thank you -- Pinkerry ( talk) 12:43, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
thank you for answering me, i am sorry for beeing late, i was not sure about the answer comes so quick, as i was waiting a long time for the other answers. This all is a bit too much. I am a newbe and I do not know what steps I have to do next? about the upload of the picture...i implemeted the same picture in the german article successfully.--[

Hi there. I am having an issue on Be Careful (Cardi B song), a troll editor is edit warring, adding false unencyclopedic allegations from random people on Twitter and making it a section on the article called "Controversy". As I explained in my edit summary "firstly it cannot be ghostwriting if Jordan is officially credited as a songwriter. Secondly allegations that have been proved false bare no worth and if you read the source the allegations come from STAN TWITTER anyway so therefore are not encyclopedic or notable". I did not want to revert again as I'm scared I will break an edit war rule so was hoping someone could revert the user for me and give him a warning. Bardigang ( talk) 15:41, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey there.
This current existing [ of best-selling video games] seems to have multiple discrepancies, missing entries, inconsistencies and incorrect statistics.
Examples: 'Tetris' entry has included every single variant of Tetris on every platform. Source sites are news articles that do not cite their own sources.
Counterstrike and Counterstrike Global Offensive are missing from the list, both with 25m+ sales each as of 2016. ( according to https://steamspy.com ).
World of Warcraft is missing from the list. ( As per Diablo III's entries which combines base game and expansion sales figures, that puts WoW total sales at 56.5 million copies sold as per blizzard entertainment statistics. )
That's just what I've found in 10 minutes of cursory Google searching. I'm currently not able to make the edits myself because of it's semi-protected nature status, but the entire list more or less needs to be deleted and started again from scratch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saltyspecula ( talk • contribs) 01:02, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello.
Im looking for some advice.
I work at DejaVufm.com a UK based music radio station launched in 1994. We are known as a pioneering grassroots UK music station, with a proven record track record and a proud history. However what I get asked a lot is why we are not on wikipedia? - to which I am not able to answer. I assumed it was perhaps because we have not set up a page ourselves ?
Here's just one example Id like some clarity on. We are known and respected as one of the genuine founders of UK Grime music & UK Garage, which has been well documented in videos, films and interviews with leading musicians. A previous search of wikipedia for UK Grime Music our name was listed next to Rinse FM in the description of the genre. Now we notice when you click on the link, the entry no longer includes our name and imples this was created by Rinse only. Not a gripe but we feel as we do not have our own page, we are not fairly recognised and we like to set the record straight, as it appears we feel as if our proud history is being re-written
How do we go about this in the correct manner ?
Many thanks

On medical-wiki sites such as this EyeWiki, (which are powered by MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki), who actually owns the content users contribute to the site?> [4]
How is this regulated? Are sites that use Wiki software required to follow standard wikipedia policy and protocols? The admins of the above medical-wiki site only grant editorial access to selected individuals (is this allowable under the applicable Wikipedia/MediaWiki policy?)
The AAO, as well as other organisations, sponsored the development of the EyeWiki page. Does this give them the right to place the AAO logo is displayed on nearly every page of the Wiki? (is this allowable under Wikipedia/MediaWiki policy/protocols?)
The AAO is professional association, mainly for for american ophthalmologists. Whilst they are not-for-profit, membership requires a significant membership fee and is not required to practice ophthalmology in a professional capacity. They have salaried employees and they conduct significant marketing and branding activities to compete for membership fees from new and prospective members.
I'm interested in how this works. Using the site, it feels like the site is owned exclusively by AAO, and any content users contribute becomes the property of AAO.
I would appreciate it if someone who understands this would clarify this for me.

Hello! I am currently trying to edit my School's Wikipedia page and add more alumni to it. For fun, I attempted to make a page for each of them as well. My submission was refused and it was said I had no citations. I know of places where these people have been mentioned, though it is no Times article, it is something. Thought these alumni are not known around the world as heroes, they are in our area and therefore, in my opinion, justify their addition to Wikipedia. If there are any tips on how to add these pages easier, please help me.

Dear tea drinkers
we note that if you look for Genetic Resources in Wikipedia, it redirects to Germplasm. This is not a good redirect because genetic resources are something else. In fact, germplasm can be seen as a subset of genetic resources, rather than the other way round. I note that there are now pages on Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, Forest Genetic Resources and Plant Genetic Resources (written by a colleague of mine). So Genetic Resources cannot redirect to one of these because it would have to redirect to all three at once. i don't think it's worth having a mini page on Genetic Resources just to accommodate the redirect
I think the appropriate solution would be to remove the redirect completely. Then from the articles on AGR, FGR and PGR, where germplasm is mentioned, we can simply do a normal link to the Germplasm article.
If this seems reasonable, how would I actually do this?

Hello, I recently created an article, Marsh Hawk Press. (1.) There is an infobox template for publishers "genre" listed, but when it publishes it is listed as "fiction genre." I would like to change that to just genre since the publisher does not publish fiction, but it won't change. Assume I could take the word "publisher" out of the Infobox tag but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using a template and keep it off the publisher list? I also took the 'founder" category out but have some names to add now, but it won't let me re-add it. (Also assume I can just add a new version of the infobox template but I like to know how things work.) (2.) An editor made the page an orphan, used the link tool, and took the orphan tag off. He was kind enough to answer my question about it but I still don't quite get it since I had lots of links in the article, but I do notice that the link tool linked to articles mentioning the press that I have not linked to so I would like to find the help page on the link tool. Have been checking out the help pages but have not been able to get to the bottom of this. Help is appreciated. Thank you. Ogmany ( talk) 18:51, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
|founder=
or |founders=
into the infobox at any time. (It is not a category or a template itself, but a parameter to a template.) Templates only accept the set of parameters programed into them -- a new one cannot be added without changing the template itself, not just the use of it. The template documentation should list all the available parameters. If you want to propose a change or addition to a template, use its talk page, in this case
Template talk:Infobox publisher.

Hello. This morning when I was searching some medical content in Wikipedia, I saw a pop up window with a humble request to support languages used in Bangladesh. Being very keen, I started to go through the provided link. Upon entering the redirected page, I could find only steps to be taken to support languages used in India and no Bangladesh. My country has a very rich history of language movement that we all take pride of. Also the specific date of movement, 21st February is celebrated as the International mother language day.

We would like to create a page related to our organisation on wikipedia, as there currently isn't one.
How do we do this?
The sandbox only allows us to create a user page, but not an encyclopedia article.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pankajpiyush ( talk • contribs) 13:48, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello! I am currently trying to edit my School's Wikipedia page and add more alumni to it. For fun, I attempted to make a page for each of them as well. My submission was refused and it was said I had no citations. I know of places where these people have been mentioned, though it is no Times article, it is something. Thought these alumni are not known around the world as heroes, they are in our area and therefore, in my opinion, justify their addition to Wikipedia. If there are any tips on how to add these pages easier, please help me.

Dear tea drinkers
we note that if you look for Genetic Resources in Wikipedia, it redirects to Germplasm. This is not a good redirect because genetic resources are something else. In fact, germplasm can be seen as a subset of genetic resources, rather than the other way round. I note that there are now pages on Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, Forest Genetic Resources and Plant Genetic Resources (written by a colleague of mine). So Genetic Resources cannot redirect to one of these because it would have to redirect to all three at once. i don't think it's worth having a mini page on Genetic Resources just to accommodate the redirect
I think the appropriate solution would be to remove the redirect completely. Then from the articles on AGR, FGR and PGR, where germplasm is mentioned, we can simply do a normal link to the Germplasm article.
If this seems reasonable, how would I actually do this?

Hi there,
When I Google "Salvation Army," even from the U.S., the info in the right siderail from Wikipedia is info and site for the UK office. What is the best way to serve the US site (www.salvationarmyusa.org) to people searching from within the US? Most people search for "salvation army" but are expecting info about the US organization.
Thank you so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidNesmith ( talk • contribs) 19:12, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Would someone please look at Template: Florida and tell me why the last item in the code, the former Mosquito county, does not appear? Thank you. deisenbe ( talk) 18:13, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
group8
and list8
. Additional items can easily be added to the template if needed." title
and body
are aliases for group
and list
so you have to either omit body9
or add support for it to the template.

I have only recently joined and have been trying some edits. I know how to insert or edit references but am having a problem with a particular page where - when I try to enter to enter a reference and I successfully complete the "Edit" box - it doesn't appear in the reference list. I've searched for a solution but can't find what I'm doing wrong. Can you help? Article is Megget Reservoir. Allan Mungall ( talk) 10:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I recently created an article, Marsh Hawk Press. (1.) There is an infobox template for publishers "genre" listed, but when it publishes it is listed as "fiction genre." I would like to change that to just genre since the publisher does not publish fiction, but it won't change. Assume I could take the word "publisher" out of the Infobox tag but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using a template and keep it off the publisher list? I also took the 'founder" category out but have some names to add now, but it won't let me re-add it. (Also assume I can just add a new version of the infobox template but I like to know how things work.) (2.) An editor made the page an orphan, used the link tool, and took the orphan tag off. He was kind enough to answer my question about it but I still don't quite get it since I had lots of links in the article, but I do notice that the link tool linked to articles mentioning the press that I have not linked to so I would like to find the help page on the link tool. Have been checking out the help pages but have not been able to get to the bottom of this. Help is appreciated. Thank you. Ogmany ( talk) 18:51, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
|founder=
or |founders=
into the infobox at any time. (It is not a category or a template itself, but a parameter to a template.) Templates only accept the set of parameters programed into them -- a new one cannot be added without changing the template itself, not just the use of it. The template documentation should list all the available parameters. If you want to propose a change or addition to a template, use its talk page, in this case
Template talk:Infobox publisher.

Hello. This morning when I was searching some medical content in Wikipedia, I saw a pop up window with a humble request to support languages used in Bangladesh. Being very keen, I started to go through the provided link. Upon entering the redirected page, I could find only steps to be taken to support languages used in India and no Bangladesh. My country has a very rich history of language movement that we all take pride of. Also the specific date of movement, 21st February is celebrated as the International mother language day. I will be more than happy if I can contribute little for benefit of my mothertongue. Please clear my doubts and help finding the appropriate page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuoma Munir ( talk • contribs) 05:56, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
