Hi. I updated a Wikipedia page for Matthieu_LeChevalier that was just being forwarded to another page. My Ruin. The revised page was up and running for a day and now it is gone. It does not even appear in my history... However you can see a cached version of it. The pages was cited with many reliable sources. Why is it gone? Does it need to be reviewed first? How do I get it back up?

On the right hand side summary table , erroneously founders Founders are given as 'Bhupendra Nagrakar,shantam Arora,natu lawda'
while in the history , the correct version is given - The company was started in a garage in Mumbai by four friends Champaklal Choksey, Chimanlal Choksi, Suryakant Dani and Arvind Vakil in February 1945.

So, let's say there are two high schools in a district... let's call them School A and School B. Now let's say that School A is shut down and consolidated into School B to make School C. Would you modify School B's article to make it about School C and mention that it used to be School B before the consolidation somewhere on the article, or would School C get its own, separate article? I've seen instances of both on here, so I'm unsure of what the general rule for this is. Finchwidget ( talk) 17:51, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi guys, In my research I came upon the "Methionine Sulfoximine" page of wikipedia and noticed something strange in the phosphorylation mechanism (the only picture of the artile). I checked the reference (reference 2, Krajewski, W. W.; Jones, T. A.; Mowbray, S. L. (18 July 2005).) and could confirm that the displayed mechanism of phosphorylation is wrong (A small mistake, but to someone in the field it makes a big difference). I made a correct picture and tried to put in on the "Methionine Sulfoximine" article, but can't overwrite the old picture. I just created a Wikipedia account and never edited anything before. When I just try to upload a picture (google "wikipedia edit picture", first enty: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Upload/Replace_this_image), it says "Permission Error" since I am not an Autoconfirmed user, Administrator or Confirmed user. Can anyone help me to correct the mistake on the article? Thaks for the help! PatrickP94 — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatrickP94 ( talk • contribs) 09:19, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

I recently submitted an article on Lilium, an eVOTL aviation company from Munich, but unfortunately it was denied. I'm into sustainable companies and trying to expand my skill set by learning how to be a wiki writer and I was wondering what I could do to improve the article so it gets approved next time around. There is already an approved article for the 'Lilium Jet' in German and similar products/companies have an approved Wikipedia page, so this is a topic gaining attention. Basically, the reviewer said it sounded like advertising. I've taken out the section for 'awards & nominations' and information about the team to make it completely neutral. Other than that I'm not sure what to improve and would like some tips about writing about a company/product so it is informative and not promoting the company. Please help!

Hi 331dot, thank you for your insight!
It is becoming obvious that there is a COI at this article: Sally Struthers in the section Stage. Not every appearance is notable; and now that the BLP's career has been reduced to "summer stock" at a theater in Maine (Ogunquit), someone keeps listing every show she does there. I'd like to clean up this section (and maybe the other 2 as well); but would like the WP policy to support cleaning up the unnecessary listings. Not sure if it is simply undue weight? Thanks.

Hi Teahouse folks, it's good to see you again. I had two general questions - how do I create a wikilink to a specific entry in the deletion log, and how do I link to a specific section of a specific revision of a page? (I'm aware of Special:Diff, which goes some way in helping, but doesn't exactly do the job.) Thanks in advance, Airbornemihir ( talk) 13:36, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
[[...]]
syntax. If a page is currently deleted then a normal wikilink like
Free Cities will show the deletion log. If the page exists then I don't think it's possible to wikilink the deletion log.
Special:Log/delete/Free Cities shows deletions by a user called Free Cities (there isn't one).
/info/en/?search=Special:Log?type=delete&page=Free+Cities shows the deletion log but not in a wikilink. It can also be linked with [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=delete&page=Free+Cities}}]
which produces
[2] but it isn't a wikilink.
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Teahouse&oldid=857393165#Harassment can be wikilinked with
Special:PermanentLink/857393165#Harassment.

I have two separate questions, appreciate any insight.
1. According to disclaimer by Yiddish Book Center in this PDF this is now in public domain and on the third page is an image of Morris Winchevsky. Can I take a screenshot of that PDF and upload it to Commons or are there better practices?
2. In the second case, a recently published (and copyrighted) book Jewish Materialism (2018) published an image from Yiddish periodical Der Groyser Kundes (1912). Can I screenshot the picture of Benjamin Feigenbaum used in that modern book? I emailed the author who wrote me back, but I want an expert opinion from Wikipedia too.
I found the picture of Feigenbaum in the paper itself (to the best of my knowledge that is where it was first published). I took a picture of the paper and used it for the book. The picture is over one hundred years old. I do not see why it would be a problem to publish under fair use. best, elli stern

I made an edit and tried to get involved in some "talk" pages. I did this before I had created a profile, I believe this in itself made me appear like a suspicious crank with some kind of issues. I have created a profile now (how did I miss that) I have tried clicking on one of the peoples "talk" link by there username and wrote a long and genuine apology on their page under one of their headings "your rudeness". I would guess there are at least four very experienced editors that I want/need to apologise to. Is that talk button the right place to do that?

WP:Articles for creation). One way to make the article look more ready for review is to structure the references using templates like {{
cite web}} (see
WP:Referencing). Consider getting rid of the
primary/sales references like Amazon, Facebook and iTunes. The reviewer will mostly be looking at
notability, particularly
these guidelines. Check that your references show this album meets those. I hope this helps. ›

I have made a personal apology to everyone who reacted to my blunders and I would like to try and do as much as possible to make good my mistakes.

Hi Joe, thank you so much for the advice but it is actually verifiable at the municipality level, the editor who challenges is not a reliable source to challenge so why does that override actual factual information.

{{Current ATP Singles Rankings}}
. This means that

If you click the Edit tab at top of a page (called "View source" on pages you cannot edit) or you preview a section of a page then the bottom of the window has a linked alphabetical list "Templates used in this preview". There you can find all used templates and try to guess the one you want. On

It is becoming obvious that there is a COI at this article: Sally Struthers in the section Stage. Not every appearance is notable; and now that the BLP's career has been reduced to "summer stock" at a theater in Maine (Ogunquit), someone keeps listing every show she does there. I'd like to clean up this section (and maybe the other 2 as well); but would like the WP policy to support cleaning up the unnecessary listings. Not sure if it is simply undue weight? Thanks.

Hi Teahouse folks, it's good to see you again. I had two general questions - how do I create a wikilink to a specific entry in the deletion log, and how do I link to a specific section of a specific revision of a page? (I'm aware of Special:Diff, which goes some way in helping, but doesn't exactly do the job.) Thanks in advance, Airbornemihir ( talk) 13:36, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
[[...]]
syntax. If a page is currently deleted then a normal wikilink like
Free Cities will show the deletion log. If the page exists then I don't think it's possible to wikilink the deletion log.
Special:Log/delete/Free Cities shows deletions by a user called Free Cities (there isn't one).
/info/en/?search=Special:Log?type=delete&page=Free+Cities shows the deletion log but not in a wikilink. It can also be linked with [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=delete&page=Free+Cities}}]
which produces
[2] but it isn't a wikilink.
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Teahouse&oldid=857393165#Harassment can be wikilinked with
Special:PermanentLink/857393165#Harassment.

I have two separate questions, appreciate any insight.
1. According to disclaimer by Yiddish Book Center in this PDF this is now in public domain and on the third page is an image of Morris Winchevsky. Can I take a screenshot of that PDF and upload it to Commons or are there better practices?
2. In the second case, a recently published (and copyrighted) book Jewish Materialism (2018) published an image from Yiddish periodical Der Groyser Kundes (1912). Can I screenshot the picture of Benjamin Feigenbaum used in that modern book? I emailed the author who wrote me back, but I want an expert opinion from Wikipedia too.
I found the picture of Feigenbaum in the paper itself (to the best of my knowledge that is where it was first published). I took a picture of the paper and used it for the book. The picture is over one hundred years old. I do not see why it would be a problem to publish under fair use. best, elli stern

The Wikipedia article on what Wikipedia is not says that Wikipedia Article talk pages are not to be used as forums, however the talk page on South African farm attacks is becoming a debate. I was thinking I could move the debate sections to another page, but WP:NOTFORUM does not allow that. then I looked on the user page article, and it does not have WP:NOTFORUM under what should not go there.

18:02, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Hello, I have just made my first Wikipedia edit and am keen to ensure I have done it correctly, so would welcome any feedback from a more seasoned editor. I had noticed that an image in an article on Emilia Lanier in the section 'Early life' showed the wrong church (St Botolph's. Bossall), so substituted that photo with another from the correct church's existing Wikipedia page (St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate).

Thanks Mortee.
so i went on zendaya's wikipedia and noticed that her birthday is today (sept. 1) but her age isn't being changed to 22, it's just stuck to 21. i was thinking i could change it to 22 but didn't know how to do that, so i googled how. but what i saw on all the pages was what seemed like the wiki page does it by itself, and even so when i tried, i couldn't find a place on the page to change her age, just the part with her birthday. can someone help me understand whats going on? sorry if i sound clueless but I've really only done simple edits to wiki pages and i don't really understand how the more complicated ones work. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebekahbird ( talk • contribs) 20:12, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
I made an edit and tried to get involved in some "talk" pages. I did this before I had created a profile, I believe this in itself made me appear like a suspicious crank with some kind of issues. I have created a profile now (how did I miss that) I have tried clicking on one of the peoples "talk" link by there username and wrote a long and genuine apology on their page under one of their headings "your rudeness". I would guess there are at least four very experienced editors that I want/need to apologise to. Is that talk button the right place to do that? I am finding participating on Wikipedia to be a steep learning curve and I would hope to try to apologise for my blunders to date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

to the top of it (see
WP:Articles for creation). One way to make the article look more ready for review is to structure the references using templates like {{
cite web}} (see
WP:Referencing). Consider getting rid of the
primary/sales references like Amazon, Facebook and iTunes. The reviewer will mostly be looking at
notability, particularly
these guidelines. Check that your references show this album meets those. I hope this helps. ›

23:34, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Hello I just very recently joined and very stupidly on my part started making contributions on a sensitive subject before I setup my profile page. I realise this was a major oversight on my part and a major breach of etiquette. I was wondering is there are reason why noobs like me are even able to do this has it been considered to make profile creation compulsory before contributions and edits can be made? Thanks in advance and hopefully not an insulting or ridiculous question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste ( talk • contribs) 22:20, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello I was trying to make a contribution on a sensitive subject and it appears my rookie errors have resulted in these discussions
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland#/talk/4
being closed down. Is there anything I can do to repair the upset it seems clear that I seem to have caused. Can I delete/redact/withdraw my contributions. I believe I am now participating in discussions in the appropriate areas of Wikipedia as directed by the senior editors there. I have made a personal apology to everyone who reacted to my blunders and I would like to try and do as much as possible to make good my mistakes. Also sorry I haven't managed to include a working link (I think) I have only been managing thus far by copying the formats [[ etc by copying the format from others and I don't have anyone to format copy from in this instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste ( talk • contribs) 22:45, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear Wiki Teahouse, I keep on getting a contributor deleting or undoing my edits when they are in reference to the family of the person. I am not sure why since this is verifiable information. Best J DZ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jughurta dz ( talk • contribs) 06:54, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Joe, thank you so much for the advice but it is actually verifiable at the municipality level, the editor who challenges is not a reliable source to challenge so why does that override actual factual information. Just trying to understand the general inner workings of wiki . I have checked numerous pages where there is no references or reliable sources for the person's family. It seems quite odd that information is systematically deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jughurta dz ( talk • contribs) 09:26, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Similar to above Q; I’d like to see ATP and WTA rankings history, even if only in an abbreviated form. The info isn’t retained in the “View History” (that I can see). Is there a reason? Or am I not looking properly? MBG02 ( talk) 13:43, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
{{Current ATP Singles Rankings}}
. This means that
Template:Current ATP Singles Rankings is displayed. Template names vary a lot and are hard to guess. If you click the Edit tab at top of a page (called "View source" on pages you cannot edit) or you preview a section of a page then the bottom of the window has a linked alphabetical list "Templates used in this preview". There you can find all used templates and try to guess the one you want. On
Main Page the list includes
Template:In the news.
