Hi All - I love to consume wikipedia content and I've poked around making edits to some articles. Recently, I've taken a new (paid) job and I see that our organization's wiki entries might need some cleaning up. I do not plan on removing or adding any content, just condensing the confusing multiple articles into one. If I do actually want to tackle this, what is the clearest way to indicate I work for this company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avocad-no ( talk • contribs) 18:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

I was wondering if my username PorkchopGMX violates username policy, the GMX part comes from GMX Mail, where i signed up as PorkchopGMX. I liked the username and decided to use it on most places i signed up to. I signed up for a wikipedia account, and used the username PorkchopGMX on Wikipedia. I don't work at GMX Mail, nor do i have any affiliation with them, i just put it in my username because i liked it. Is this okay? If not i will change my wikipedia username.

I get that the article on the Age of Exploration, probably unfortunately titled "Age of Discovery", is something that would inspire edit wars by its nature, and thus is protected. My question is how to get someone with the privilege to edit protected pages to change the mention in the article of the "Straight [sic] of Gibraltar" to the correct spelling "Strait".

Dear Wikipedian,
I need help since I've only used Wiki for an edit once before. I work for the above named individual. We wants to add the following item to his bio on Wikipedia. Someone removed it. Here is the text:
He served as a member of the senior staff of the National Security Council under Dr. Henry Kissinger. The source for this statement is as follows:.
Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. National Security Council Folders 18-19 that contain correspondence from Dr. Lehman to Dr. Kissinger dated 12.9.70 and 6.29.72.
When I insert the edit and footnote (which I don't know how to do) the numbering of all the subsequent notes will be changed. I don't have a clue how to do that either and I don't feel confident about doing it right. So, can you help on both items?

Hi everyone, I'm a new user here on Wikipedia. Sorry if I bonked this up. Wikipedia has so many pages worth of information for various things. It all overwhelms me. I noticed the tea house was a place to ask questions, and that's why I'm posting here. I recently added two edits [1] [2] and both were reverted by the same user. My original edit was stating how GA was defined by William Labov. For the last sentence in the history and definition section [3] Labov states "By the 2000s, American sociolinguist William Labov concluded that, if anything could be regarded as "General American", it would essentially be a convergence of those pronunciation features shared by Western American English, Midland American English, and (Standard) Canadian English.[18]"
I went to add this over the previous edit, as the sourced content was by Van Riper, who as you can see here (on page 128 it talks about Western New England as General American) [4] was going by definitions used back in the 1950s. William Labov was stating information a half century more recent. I was originally fine with this revert. The user that reverted my edit then went on to add this source [5]. This newly sourced page includes Western Pennsylvania English as a "General American" variety. You can see for yourself in that source, as the map shows just about all of Western PA to be part of the General American area. The reason I brought this up, is because in his edit summary [6] he said adding Western Pennsylvania to the page, as I did here in this edit [7], contradicted the Atlas Of North American English. As you can see here on page 144 (in the last paragraph above the 11.7 chart) [8], which is a pdf file for ANAE, Western New England, which in my first revert I removed, was not stated by ANAE as to be a General American variety. To quote exactly from that pdf file "On the whole, Figure 11.7 shows that these vowel measurements are sufficient to separate the major regional dialects identified in the maps of this chapter, although the West, the Midland and Canada are not as clearly distinguished as other regions. If one were to recognize a type of North American English to be called “General American”, it would be the configuration formed by these three dialects in the center of Figure 11.7."
He then goes to revert my edit saying that ANAE doesn't include the Western Pennsylvania English in ANAE, despite Western New England not being included in ANAE. Can someone help? Is this selective editing on his behalf? I hope I have given enough evidence to present my case. Sorry if I'm over freaking and flat out wrong. SandyPetersen ( talk) 05:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi
I wonder if somebody could help.
I have drafted an article in my sandbox /info/en/?search=William_Robert_Baxter but have been told this does not meet the approval for creation as it does not meet the minimum standard for inline citations. I'm unclear why and what to do next. All advice would be greatly appreciated.

This article says "the position of the two t**s on the female, almost on the b*****ks of the animal". It looked misleading and has no source so I checked. https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/28/3/298/840477 Mmmarkkk ( talk) 15:09, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I would like to centralize the discussion of Draft:Kopparapu Duo Poets here rather than on the talk pages of multiple reviewers. I reviewed this draft in a sandbox in April and declined it. At the time it was hard to tell what it was about because it did not have a well-formed lede and appeared to be about two people rather than about one subject. It is about two people who performed in public together. A few days ago, User:MUMACHA2203 improved it and resubmitted it and User:Legacypac declined it as not showing notability, and I said that it appeared to be written to praise the subjects rather than describing them neutrally. They have an article in the Telugu Wikipedia. I understand that each language Wikipedia has its own standards, and that inclusion in another Wikipedia is not evidence of notability, and that Telugu language sources are acceptable.
The author has since been discussing the draft at my talk page and that of User:Legacypac. I have had difficulty addressing and responding to that discussion, and it appears that the author is having difficulty trying to discuss in English, but I don’t know Telugu, and English is the language for discussion in the English Wikipedia. I stated that perhaps User:MUMACHA2203 would benefit from a co-author who is more fluent in English. (I tried to be diplomatic.) They then, evidently in good-faith error, created a second copy of the draft, and moved both drafts into article space as ready for article space. User:Discospinster then draftified one article as not ready for article space. User:CambridgeBayWeather then draftified the other article. I then converted one of the two drafts into a redirect to the other. One draft is now in draft space. User:MUMACHA2203 is continuing to post to my talk page and those of Legacypac and Discospinster. They say that the poets are notable, and that other poets have articles that were written to praise them. I realize that the author wants to have his poetic heroes memorialized, but I think that further discussion on the talk pages of multiple editors is not helping. Comments? Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Is there agreement that if an editor has suggested that discussion about a draft article be continued in some public forum, such as here, or at the Village Pump, and has made that statement on their talk page, that it is not useful to continue to discuss on multiple user talk pages? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
It seems that the best practice might be, if the Teahouse (or Village Pump or wherever) discussion is significant, to copy the Teahouse discussion to the draft talk page. (If the conclusion was to accept the draft, it might be useful to move the discussion to the article talk page.) Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I think that we agree that "split discussions" are undesirable. In the case in point, the author of the draft was splitting the discussion by posting lengthy comments on the talk pages of three reviewers. This wasn't useful behavior by the author of the draft, but was not so out of line as to be a conduct issue. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
User:Legacypac says that "a return to mainspace for an AFD would be in order". Returned or moved by whom? I think that, for a reviewer or other third-party editor, moving a page from draft space to article space in order to nominate it for deletion is a terrible idea, disrespectful of the purpose of article space, which is that article space is the outward face of Wikipedia to the readers. If you don't think that a draft belongs in article space, don't put it in article space. Don't put it in article space just to take advantage of AFD. That isn't right. If you don't think it belongs in article space, leave it somewhere else. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
If you don't think it belongs in draft space, go ahead and nominate it for MFD, with a valid MFD rationale. Using article space just for a deletion discussion is a terrible idea. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
User:MUMACHA2203 - Does your academic department have an interest in the publication of a book on the poets? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
I am getting messages after editing saying verify the source. So please help me.
The article is flagged for lack of sources. I was employed by Jordan Baruch as GE Medinet's Marketing Training Manager. Since GE Medinet did not have a product at that time, it had no need for a sales force, and certainly no need for a Marketing Training Manager. While waiting for a product to be developed I had learned to program in TelComp. Jordan Baruch approached me to learn FileComp and train GE Medinet's newly hired application programming staff. Recognizing I was at a disadvantage since I had never programmed before, I learned how to write programmed learning manuals using B. F. Skinner's methods as a guide. I then applied them to develop a programmed instruction manual which was used to teach FileComp to the application development staff.
I found most of Wikipedia's article on FileComp to be accurate with the exception of "FILECOMP was a programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN)". Jordan Baruch was employed at GE Medinet at the time of the language's development and it is highly unlikely GE would have entered into a contract with BBN giving it ownership of FileComp. Ed Yourdon would have been able to confirm that (he passed away in 2016), but if Roberta Baruch (maiden name) is alive (Jordan's daughter), she might be able to confirm it. I taught Roberta FileComp when she did an intern stint at GE Medinet.
The FileComp article could be enhanced to identify that it had the same sparse array capabilities as MUMPS. I was never informed that there was a limit to the depth of the subscripts. FileComp was an interpretive language.
I do not recall FileComp ever being labeled FILECOMP.
I hope this is helpful.

Hello. I think I might have identified an article where one or more IP editors have seemingly been adding, for about half a year, what reads like unsourced promotional material on a company in France. It seems this has not received much attention from patrollers. I have tried geolocating some of the IPs, and they are pinned to the same general area in France. Here are some diffs:
What is the best way for me to proceed in this and similar cases of possibly problematic long-term editorializing that has escaped patroller attention? I'm aware of WP:BOLD, so my guess is that I should remove what seems to me like problematic content and justify the removal in the edit summary. However, what should I put in the edit summary to avoid upsetting the editor(s) in case they happen to have been editing in good faith? It seems to me overly harsh to label this as "Removing promotional content" in this case. If they revert my removal, how should I respond? Is there some detailed best-practice example I can look at? And so on, and so forth. Thanks. Ivgnyl ( talk) 15:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I've done some reference work on endangered historic site, Dew Drop Inn (New Orleans, Louisiana) and want to learn best practices, tools and tips for adding geocoordinate data.

I just looked at the Page about Key Lime Pie. There are some gross inaccuracies with the pictures displayed on the page. I wouldn't presume to edit these but I wanted to bring it to someone's attention. Key Lime Pie is never served with meringue and most certainly is NEVER, EVER green. It came to the keys with workers who came over from the Bahamas and is an adaption of Bahamian Sour Orange pie. Whew...had to get that off my chest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2560:4190:30E1:BBA0:1634:3AD3 ( talk) 01:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello. I'm not sure if this is right place to raise this problem but I've followed directions from the "Help" link on the main page.
I've somehow become involved in an argument, about some relevant content I've placed in two current event cricket articles, with someone who seems determined to prevent my contributions. Please see Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018, Pakistani cricket team in England in 2018, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket and User talk:217.35.245.243. I understand the site has rules about "edit warring" and that is what has arisen here.
The information I've added is completely relevant as it concerns the absence from international matches of Pakistan's outstanding player. The other editor says it is "hearsay" and "original research", which is not so at all (check the sources). I went to User talk:Lugnuts, his/her talk page, to try and discuss the point but the first thing I see there is an aggressive, confrontational banner which expresses an obvious view that anyone who disagrees with him/her is "scum".
The situation is ridiculous. Do you want "IP editors" to contribute valid, useful information to improve articles for the benefit of your readers? Or not?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.245.243 ( talk) 12:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I noticed the tea house was a place to ask questions, and that's why I'm posting here. I recently added two edits [1] [2] and both were reverted by the same user. My original edit was stating how GA was defined by William Labov. For the last sentence in the history and definition section [3] Labov states "By the 2000s, American sociolinguist William Labov concluded that, if anything could be regarded as "General American", it would essentially be a convergence of those pronunciation features shared by Western American English, Midland American English, and (Standard) Canadian English.[18]"
I went to add this over the previous edit, as the sourced content was by Van Riper, who as you can see here (on page 128 it talks about Western New England as General American) [4] was going by definitions used back in the 1950s. William Labov was stating information a half century more recent. I was originally fine with this revert. The user that reverted my edit then went on to add this source [5]. This newly sourced page includes Western Pennsylvania English as a "General American" variety. You can see for yourself in that source, as the map shows just about all of Western PA to be part of the General American area. The reason I brought this up, is because in his edit summary [6] he said adding Western Pennsylvania to the page, as I did here in this edit [7], contradicted the Atlas Of North American English. As you can see here on page 144 (in the last paragraph above the 11.7 chart) [8], which is a pdf file for ANAE, Western New England, which in my first revert I removed, was not stated by ANAE as to be a General American variety. To quote exactly from that pdf file "On the whole, Figure 11.7 shows that these vowel measurements are sufficient to separate the major regional dialects identified in the maps of this chapter, although the West, the Midland and Canada are not as clearly distinguished as other regions. If one were to recognize a type of North American English to be called “General American”, it would be the configuration formed by these three dialects in the center of Figure 11.7."
He then goes to revert my edit saying that ANAE doesn't include the Western Pennsylvania English in ANAE, despite Western New England not being included in ANAE. Can someone help? Is this selective editing on his behalf? I hope I have given enough evidence to present my case. Sorry if I'm over freaking and flat out wrong. SandyPetersen ( talk) 05:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi
I wonder if somebody could help.
I have drafted an article in my sandbox /info/en/?search=William_Robert_Baxter but have been told this does not meet the approval for creation as it does not meet the minimum standard for inline citations. I'm unclear why and what to do next. All advice would be greatly appreciated.

This article says "the position of the two t**s on the female, almost on the b*****ks of the animal". It looked misleading and has no source so I checked. https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/28/3/298/840477 Mmmarkkk ( talk) 15:09, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I would like to centralize the discussion of Draft:Kopparapu Duo Poets here rather than on the talk pages of multiple reviewers. I reviewed this draft in a sandbox in April and declined it. At the time it was hard to tell what it was about because it did not have a well-formed lede and appeared to be about two people rather than about one subject. It is about two people who performed in public together. A few days ago, User:MUMACHA2203 improved it and resubmitted it and User:Legacypac declined it as not showing notability, and I said that it appeared to be written to praise the subjects rather than describing them neutrally. They have an article in the Telugu Wikipedia. I understand that each language Wikipedia has its own standards, and that inclusion in another Wikipedia is not evidence of notability, and that Telugu language sources are acceptable.
The author has since been discussing the draft at my talk page and that of User:Legacypac. I have had difficulty addressing and responding to that discussion, and it appears that the author is having difficulty trying to discuss in English, but I don’t know Telugu, and English is the language for discussion in the English Wikipedia. I stated that perhaps User:MUMACHA2203 would benefit from a co-author who is more fluent in English. (I tried to be diplomatic.) They then, evidently in good-faith error, created a second copy of the draft, and moved both drafts into article space as ready for article space. User:Discospinster then draftified one article as not ready for article space. User:CambridgeBayWeather then draftified the other article. I then converted one of the two drafts into a redirect to the other. One draft is now in draft space. User:MUMACHA2203 is continuing to post to my talk page and those of Legacypac and Discospinster. They say that the poets are notable, and that other poets have articles that were written to praise them. I realize that the author wants to have his poetic heroes memorialized, but I think that further discussion on the talk pages of multiple editors is not helping. Comments?

Is there agreement that if an editor has suggested that discussion about a draft article be continued in some public forum, such as here, or at the Village Pump, and has made that statement on their talk page, that it is not useful to continue to discuss on multiple user talk pages? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
It seems that the best practice might be, if the Teahouse (or Village Pump or wherever) discussion is significant, to copy the Teahouse discussion to the draft talk page. (If the conclusion was to accept the draft, it might be useful to move the discussion to the article talk page.) Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I think that we agree that "split discussions" are undesirable. In the case in point, the author of the draft was splitting the discussion by posting lengthy comments on the talk pages of three reviewers. This wasn't useful behavior by the author of the draft, but was not so out of line as to be a conduct issue. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
User:Legacypac says that "a return to mainspace for an AFD would be in order". Returned or moved by whom? I think that, for a reviewer or other third-party editor, moving a page from draft space to article space in order to nominate it for deletion is a terrible idea, disrespectful of the purpose of article space, which is that article space is the outward face of Wikipedia to the readers. If you don't think that a draft belongs in article space, don't put it in article space. Don't put it in article space just to take advantage of AFD. That isn't right. If you don't think it belongs in article space, leave it somewhere else. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
If you don't think it belongs in draft space, go ahead and nominate it for MFD, with a valid MFD rationale. Using article space just for a deletion discussion is a terrible idea. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
User:MUMACHA2203 - Does your academic department have an interest in the publication of a book on the poets? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
I am getting messages after editing saying verify the source. So please help me.
The article is flagged for lack of sources. I was employed by Jordan Baruch as GE Medinet's Marketing Training Manager. Since GE Medinet did not have a product at that time, it had no need for a sales force, and certainly no need for a Marketing Training Manager. While waiting for a product to be developed I had learned to program in TelComp. Jordan Baruch approached me to learn FileComp and train GE Medinet's newly hired application programming staff. Recognizing I was at a disadvantage since I had never programmed before, I learned how to write programmed learning manuals using B. F. Skinner's methods as a guide. I then applied them to develop a programmed instruction manual which was used to teach FileComp to the application development staff.
I found most of Wikipedia's article on FileComp to be accurate with the exception of "FILECOMP was a programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN)". Jordan Baruch was employed at GE Medinet at the time of the language's development and it is highly unlikely GE would have entered into a contract with BBN giving it ownership of FileComp. Ed Yourdon would have been able to confirm that (he passed away in 2016), but if Roberta Baruch (maiden name) is alive (Jordan's daughter), she might be able to confirm it. I taught Roberta FileComp when she did an intern stint at GE Medinet.
The FileComp article could be enhanced to identify that it had the same sparse array capabilities as MUMPS. I was never informed that there was a limit to the depth of the subscripts. FileComp was an interpretive language.
I do not recall FileComp ever being labeled FILECOMP.
I hope this is helpful.

Hello. I think I might have identified an article where one or more IP editors have seemingly been adding, for about half a year, what reads like unsourced promotional material on a company in France. It seems this has not received much attention from patrollers. I have tried geolocating some of the IPs, and they are pinned to the same general area in France. Here are some diffs:
What is the best way for me to proceed in this and similar cases of possibly problematic long-term editorializing that has escaped patroller attention? I'm aware of WP:BOLD, so my guess is that I should remove what seems to me like problematic content and justify the removal in the edit summary. However, what should I put in the edit summary to avoid upsetting the editor(s) in case they happen to have been editing in good faith? It seems to me overly harsh to label this as "Removing promotional content" in this case. If they revert my removal, how should I respond? Is there some detailed best-practice example I can look at? And so on, and so forth. Thanks. Ivgnyl ( talk) 15:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I've done some reference work on endangered historic site, Dew Drop Inn (New Orleans, Louisiana) and want to learn best practices, tools and tips for adding geocoordinate data. I am comfortable editing Wikidata (Q25212557 - WGS84 needed for 'coordinate location' statement) if that is more robust solution. Thanks! - Paulscrawl ( talk) 16:04, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I just looked at the Page about Key Lime Pie. There are some gross inaccuracies with the pictures displayed on the page. I wouldn't presume to edit these but I wanted to bring it to someone's attention. Key Lime Pie is never served with meringue and most certainly is NEVER, EVER green. It came to the keys with workers who came over from the Bahamas and is an adaption of Bahamian Sour Orange pie. Whew...had to get that off my chest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2560:4190:30E1:BBA0:1634:3AD3 ( talk) 01:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello. I'm not sure if this is right place to raise this problem but I've followed directions from the "Help" link on the main page.
I've somehow become involved in an argument, about some relevant content I've placed in two current event cricket articles, with someone who seems determined to prevent my contributions. Please see Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018, Pakistani cricket team in England in 2018, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket and User talk:217.35.245.243. I understand the site has rules about "edit warring" and that is what has arisen here.
The information I've added is completely relevant as it concerns the absence from international matches of Pakistan's outstanding player. The other editor says it is "hearsay" and "original research", which is not so at all (check the sources). I went to User talk:Lugnuts, his/her talk page, to try and discuss the point but the first thing I see there is an aggressive, confrontational banner which expresses an obvious view that anyone who disagrees with him/her is "scum".
The situation is ridiculous. Do you want "IP editors" to contribute valid, useful information to improve articles for the benefit of your readers? Or not?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.245.243 ( talk) 12:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello fellow tea fans,
I'm trying to wikilink Arbonne International page on List of multi-level marketing companies. I was able to edit and put Arbonne's name into the table, but then it doesn't seem to still "be there" for me to save edits? I thought I satisfied the criterion for editing the List page but perhaps not? Could you please let me know what I'm doing incorrectly? Thank you so much! SunnyBoi ( talk) 01:36, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
