On Franklin High_School (Portland, Oregon) a student population is listed, and a pdf is cited with no context to how the pdf was found, so in order to update the information I had to do a completely new search. Is there any way that I can add on to my citation a index style page, specifically this one, for future editors to use to find updated information?

to the citation. This will be visible only to someone who opens the editing view of the page. That website, to me, seems improperly built, since it uses opaque internal page numbers in places where meaningful names could be supplied, but perhaps there is some technical explanation for why it is done this way - perhaps that's the only way the web developer could satisfy the requirement to support multiple languages. But one consequence of building the website this way is that there is no apparent commitment to the current structure that can be relied on by external sites when they link to its pages.

{{

template has an optional |url=
parameter, which "adds an inline external link (hidden by default) suggesting a webpage for future editors to check for updates to the statement" ( permanent link). However, that optional parameter only displays in an article for those who have implemented the necessary code in their common.css page. Otherwise, it will only appear in the wikitext.In situations wherein you are using
{{as of}}
anyway, though, adding the link to the |url=
parameter is functionally equivalent to an
invisible comment like explained above with the additional benefit for anyone with the code added to their common.css. Either solution works and you will almost definitely just be using hidden comments most to all the time, as may be most appropriate in this situation; what matters is that such data are included, which is more than many editors do. Thank you for such consideration and for your contributions! —

On the instruction page it says to close out a peer review, replace the peer review template at the top of the talk page with one that says "old peer review" then "archive=N", and N=the number of the peer review discussion. The question I have is exactly which number are they referring to as N? At the top of the page it says archive one, but on the main page that lists all the peer reviews mine is listed at 9.2--so which number is N? The one or the 9.2?

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to this so please bear with me! I am currently working on updating a company Wikipedia page, but I have been struggling to get a change past the admins (I'm probably doing it wrong!)
The client, which was previously called Kontiki, has since changed its name to Kollective. I’ve tried making this request via the ‘talk’ section for admins but have been unable to get this sorted (for a couple of weeks now). I've supplied evidence ( http://cp.wainhouse.com/blog/2015/03/23/kontiki-becomes-kollective and https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=1051164) but it doesn't seem to have worked. I wanted to see if there was a trick to it? Apologies if this is a little cheeky - I have been trying to get this sorted for a couple of weeks, so I thought it was worth asking!

Hello, I updated the page for Andy Scott the Scottish Sculptor as the current page is really out of date and the images are not representing his current portfolio.

Can you please explain why this happened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeroenGlasgow ( talk • contribs) 21:29, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for this. I am indeed new to editing on Wikipedia. And full disclosure: I am Andy's manager and wife so don't get paid, but I guess indirectly I will. All the information I added is correct and can be verified. How can I add sources for verification? My aim is to have an up to date page as we get regular complaints that Andy's Wikipedia page is old and not representing his portfolio well. There is not even an image of "The Kelpies" on there, despite the millions of visitors and images on the internet. An image of 'Rise' with some orange cone or cloth is not very flattering either. I would be happy with a few images (people have made amazing images of Andy's work) but not only old ones. That is not a fair representation of his work. I will try and find Wikimedia and 'user talk' for further information.

Hello, I am a new Wikipedia editor. I recently happened upon this page, Cao Shui, about a [living] Chinese writer. The references are all written in Chinese characters (traditional vs. simplified, I am not sure), with no English text at all. I am wondering if this is an 'issue' that needs to be 'fixed'. For example, should these references be translated into English? More generally, do all non-English language words need to be translated into English, on the English Wikipedia? Thank you.

Hello Teahouse Editors:
I make images in my travels and have uploaded some that are appropriate for various Wikipedia topics. I have two that I have not uploaded to Wikimedia Commons yet, where I could use your advice on whether putting these two images into the public domain is appropriate.
Image 1: I took a quick image of a public stature in the streets of Paris and there happened to be a young child about 3 or 4 beside the statue who was pointing to the statue. From a photographic perspective, it is a good image and the child's active interaction with the static stature adds a dynamic element to the picture. However, I do not have written permission from the child's parents to use this image for publication and, in general, tend to avoid uploading any of my images with recognizable people, especially children. However, the image was taken in 2004, so this child is now a young adult and she should not be recognizable from the image, except and only maybe, by herself or her family. The image would be a good addition to the Wikipedia topic. My personal thoughts are that I should leave this image to collect digital dust on one of my external hard drives and not upload the image, but am interested in your opinion.
Image 2: This second image is of a young performance artist taken in the street (public space) that I am considering uploading for a Wikimedia Commons Photo Challenge competition. The image was taken in 2006, so this person would now be in around thirty. In addition, the street performer is also in costume. Both factors contribute to this person being less recognizable. Also, if you are performing in the street, there is not an expectation that an image would be private. I am inclined to upload this image but again, would be interested in your further opinion.
I only send you my dilemmas...

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.198.215.155 ( talk)

Hi,
I'm just wondering how companies post their company pages without having a "conflict of interest" which is what I was recently pinged for. I'd like to complete this page without being bias so what is the best way to go about doing that.

Hello, I updated the page for Andy Scott the Scottish Sculptor as the current page is really out of date and the images are not representing his current portfolio. I used my own text and my own images. The changes I made showed for one day and then it reverted to the old page again. Can you please explain why this happened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeroenGlasgow ( talk • contribs) 21:29, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for this. I am indeed new to editing on Wikipedia. And full disclosure: I am Andy's manager and wife so don't get paid, but I guess indirectly I will. All the information I added is correct and can be verified. How can I add sources for verification? My aim is to have an up to date page as we get regular complaints that Andy's Wikipedia page is old and not representing his portfolio well. There is not even an image of "The Kelpies" on there, despite the millions of visitors and images on the internet. An image of 'Rise' with some orange cone or cloth is not very flattering either. I would be happy with a few images (people have made amazing images of Andy's work) but not only old ones. That is not a fair representation of his work. I will try and find Wikimedia and 'user talk' for further information.
Is it considered improper, bad form, etc., to quote a comment by a user on their talk page and post a link to that in an article talk page? (This was in response to a question I posed to that user on their talk page.) Humanengr ( talk) 00:55, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
I am writing my first Wikipedia article on Edward Forman, a rocket pioneer, who is referenced on the Wikipedia JATO and Jack Parsons pages, where the red link shows there's no page for him. Thus I am writing one. I just tried to upload a photo of Edward that belongs to me, from family archives and received an error message. I read everything about the copyright rules as well as attributions on Wikipedia and still can't figure out why I can't upload it.

Hi I want to add some content to a page, but for lack of citation those points are getting removed by other editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ananya Poddar ( talk • contribs) 09:53, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Is it possible to restore a Wikipedia page that was rejected? I understand that I need to make edits, but it would be much easier to work from the original page so I don't need to take the time to find and cite everything again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sailingtigerlilly ( talk • contribs) 11:33, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
I just happened to check my fathers page, Ralph H Fox. I found that much of his biography had been edited out, I have no idea why. I can't imagine any controversy. Can this be reversed?

Hello, I am a new Wikipedia editor. I recently happened upon this page, Cao Shui, about a [living] Chinese writer. The references are all written in Chinese characters (traditional vs. simplified, I am not sure), with no English text at all. I am wondering if this is an 'issue' that needs to be 'fixed'. For example, should these references be translated into English? More generally, do all non-English language words need to be translated into English, on the English Wikipedia? Thank you.

Hi,
I contacted a flickr member to ask if he would provide a copyright free image I needed for an article. I asked for Public Domain (CCO) and he responded that it was ok to use the image and he set it to 'Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives. I don't think that is an attribution that Wikicommons will accept. Please advise MauraWen ( talk) 22:37, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

I found a website which mainly focus on the violence against adolescence's disobey:
Yang Yongxin and Yuzhang Academy. They said that because shortage of money, the website will be closed and because of their sensitive contents, the source is easily shut down. I wonder if they can be realiable source? Could someone use the source to write Yang Yongxin page? Thank you!

(In my opinion, what they did is extreme and effictive
adultism rather than mistreatment of
Internet addiction disorder since Yang and Yuzhang Academy's goal is forcing
adolescence to be mild at any rate)

Hello Teahouse Editors:
I make images in my travels and have uploaded some that are appropriate for various Wikipedia topics. I have two that I have not uploaded to Wikimedia Commons yet, where I could use your advice on whether putting these two images into the public domain is appropriate.
Image 1: I took a quick image of a public stature in the streets of Paris and there happened to be a young child about 3 or 4 beside the statue who was pointing to the statue. From a photographic perspective, it is a good image and the child's active interaction with the static stature adds a dynamic element to the picture. However, I do not have written permission from the child's parents to use this image for publication and, in general, tend to avoid uploading any of my images with recognizable people, especially children. However, the image was taken in 2004, so this child is now a young adult and she should not be recognizable from the image, except and only maybe, by herself or her family. The image would be a good addition to the Wikipedia topic. My personal thoughts are that I should leave this image to collect digital dust on one of my external hard drives and not upload the image, but am interested in your opinion.
Image 2: This second image is of a young performance artist taken in the street (public space) that I am considering uploading for a Wikimedia Commons Photo Challenge competition. The image was taken in 2006, so this person would now be in around thirty. In addition, the street performer is also in costume. Both factors contribute to this person being less recognizable. Also, if you are performing in the street, there is not an expectation that an image would be private. I am inclined to upload this image but again, would be interested in your further opinion.
I only send you my dilemmas...
