My name is Bencino Carmine, I had a wikepedia page created by whoever under the name Benny Ciaramello. I contracted folks and thankfully they moved the title to my correct name. However whenever you type my name in google, it will still show a “Benny Ciaramello” wimkepdia page and once you click on it, of course it’s updated. But it says “redirected from Benny Ciaramello” can someone please fix this. There shouldn’t be any “Benny Ciaramello” link to wikepedia at all. Or link to that specific pages I have no idea how to fix this and anyone’s help would be highly appreciated.

Bought a great new/old book, and immediately made a new section, Notebooks, for the insightful observation (esp. for an opium addict):
I lay too many Eggs ... with Ostrich Carelessness & Ostrich Oblivion.

I carefully linked back to WP nest Coleridge's_notebooks. How best share the link love from WP with Template:Wikiquote back to the nest egg, ensuring no careless linkrot, tho' section name be "trod underfoot, & smashed"?

Does Wikipedia have a style guideline to govern whether to use "age" or "aged" in an infobox after a person's date of death? As an example: "Died August 27, 1981 (age 62)" or "Died August 27, 1981 (aged 62)"? I tried using my browser's search tool on the Manual of Style, but it did not find "aged" as a word unto itself (only at the ends of other words, such as "discouraged".) Eddie Blick ( talk) 00:52, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
{{Death year and age}}
would produce (aged) which is commonly found in infobox. Do drop by if you have any other questions. Cheer!

Hi Community,
I have almost followed every little instructions members suggested me on Teahouse community. 1. I have removed wikipedia links from citation and inserted into keywords as hyperlink 2. I have removed all keywords that are self promoting as cited by fellow members. 3. I have added citation wherever required and requested.
Also, my query is about what action is needed to be taken inorder to prove my neutral point of view as mentioned by my wikipedia members.
This article is very important to me as I have edited this article multiple number of times and willing to make further efforts to successfully publish it.

Template:History of slavery in the United States says Washington D.C. and it should be changed to District of Columbia. The reason is that the District of Columbia was a separate political entity until 1871, when it was merged with the city of Washington. (I’m at work on an article on that.) The topic “History of Slavery in Washington D.C.” is misleading at best. It should be “History of Slavery in the District of Columbia” (which I’m thinking of writing). However, looking at the code, and I’ve never seen anything like this, I don’t know how to correct it. Thank you. deisenbe ( talk) 14:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
DC = District of Columbia
as a parameter anywhere in the template. However, I honestly am not sure how to make the text display as something different. I'll look into this further and try to fix it the best I can if I'm able to and some point, but there's probably someone more knowledgeable with the topic that can help you more.--

Hello there.
My article keeps coming up rejected due to notability requirements. I have linked in published awards recently, but it seems that regardless the page should fall under "Creative Professionals", photography, then line item 3, "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. 8 published books, press house published all with ISBN numbers, not self published, would seem to me to fall into this category.

Hi Teahouse, I'm wondering how I should go about fixing an issue with a redirect. Right now, British Institute in Eastern Africa redirects to Neville Chittick, its first director, but I really think that the British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA) deserves its own page. I'd like to delete the redirect from Neville Chittick and then create a new page for the BIEA, but I'm not sure if this will result in speedy deletion issues or if I'll somehow be violating rules for dealing with redirects. I can start the BIEA article in my sandbox, and thus have it ready to go, but I'd like some advice before I proceed. Thanks! Ninafundisha ( talk) 12:52, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Recently, unfounded remark on Wikipedia's page devoted to professor Miodrag Petkovic has appear in the form: "The topic of this article may not met Wikipedia notability guidance for academic." Regarding the conditions required for removing this incorrect comment, one should emphasize that there are even 9 (nine) reliable sources (of renowned world companies) that confirm the correctess of all presented data.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A FEW CLIPS (SOME LESS THAN A MINUTE; SOME TWO OR THREE MINUTES?) TO THE PAGE "KATHARINE VON BORA".

It appears that user Special:Contributions/WilsonPerez2 has added a lot of copyvio links (topcartoons.tv and b99.tv) to movie title pages - can someone more experienced look into this, thanks! -- Janke | Talk 05:50, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Community,
I have almost followed every little instructions members suggested me on Teahouse community. 1. I have removed wikipedia links from citation and inserted into keywords as hyperlink 2. I have removed all keywords that are self promoting as cited by fellow members. 3. I have added citation wherever required and requested.
Also, my query is about what action is needed to be taken inorder to prove my neutral point of view as mentioned by my wikipedia members.
This article is very important to me as I have edited this article multiple number of times and willing to make further efforts to successfully publish it.

I am trying to upload some images from a state archive, Florida Memory, to Wikimedia. Their statement of rights is:
https://www.floridamemory.com/photographiccollection/disclaimer.php
This does not seem to fit in any of the categories on the Wikimedia Upload Wizard, so I don’t know what to do. Thank you. deisenbe ( talk) 17:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
Template:History of slavery in the United States says Washington D.C. and it should be changed to District of Columbia. The reason is that the District of Columbia was a separate political entity until 1871, when it was merged with the city of Washington. (I’m at work on an article on that.) The topic “History of Slavery in Washington D.C.” is misleading at best. It should be “History of Slavery in the District of Columbia” (which I’m thinking of writing). However, looking at the code, and I’ve never seen anything like this, I don’t know how to correct it. Thank you. deisenbe ( talk) 14:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
DC = District of Columbia
as a parameter anywhere in the template. However, I honestly am not sure how to make the text display as something different. I'll look into this further and try to fix it the best I can if I'm able to and some point, but there's probably someone more knowledgeable with the topic that can help you more.--

The value for the population density is wrong. The value it currently shows is 0, which is wrong. I also believe the value for the city population is also wrong as well so it would be nice if it could get checked out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.51.241 ( talk) 04:39, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello there.
My article keeps coming up rejected due to notability requirements. I have linked in published awards recently, but it seems that regardless the page should fall under "Creative Professionals", photography, then line item 3, "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. 8 published books, press house published all with ISBN numbers, not self published, would seem to me to fall into this category. What else needs to be done? When resubmitting, is there somewhere that this can be noted? Any guidelines and help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I am a complete newcomer to Wikipedia. I have created a new article - its on my sandbox - and I am struggling to understand the guidance on how to insert the citations (I'm using Visual Editor). All I need is to provide numbers in the text and ref list that take the reader to the specified site. Can anyone offer a very simple beginners' guide? Aspidistra1066 ( talk) 16:52, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Teahouse, I'm wondering how I should go about fixing an issue with a redirect. Right now, British Institute in Eastern Africa redirects to Neville Chittick, its first director, but I really think that the British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA) deserves its own page. I'd like to delete the redirect from Neville Chittick and then create a new page for the BIEA, but I'm not sure if this will result in speedy deletion issues or if I'll somehow be violating rules for dealing with redirects. I can start the BIEA article in my sandbox, and thus have it ready to go, but I'd like some advice before I proceed. Thanks! Ninafundisha ( talk) 12:52, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
hello,
I am an academic who, as part of a larger research project, commissioned a professional documentary film maker to produce a film about Margaret Thatcher (UK Prime Minister 1979-1990) and Thatcherism. The film is avaialble here:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/GenerationRight
If any one is interested, could they provide a link to it from Wikipedia's pages on Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism, noe-liberalism, perhaps?
Many thanks,

Hi, how do I retrieve a deleted draft? I created an article yesterday, it was not perfect, but I was under the impression that it may take up to 2 months to review it, and I will have time to edit it meanwhile. Well, it was deleted before I could do anything. I would like to continue working on it, and I think I can improve it. thanks.

Recently, unfounded remark on Wikipedia's page devoted to professor Miodrag Petkovic has appear in the form: "The topic of this article may not met Wikipedia notability guidance for academic." Regarding the conditions required for removing this incorrect comment, one should emphasize that there are even 9 (nine) reliable sources (of renowned world companies) that confirm the correctess of all presented data. This can be easily verified by "calling" the marked sources.
Consequently, respecting Wikipedia's and academic's rules, should the comments in the heading be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubercuber ( talk • contribs) 22:45, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
