I'm new to creating pages on wikipedia. I tried to make a page for a new film. It is in post-production so there aren't a lot of web links to include. It got rejected though, and I'm not sure what else I can possibly add to legitimize it.
Any help appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:204:AD02:D887:B82B:F3FB:B8BD ( talk) 18:23, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi editors. I’m the original author of the entry Keith A. Schooley. I’m having trouble updating several reference links that no longer exist on the web. I want to replace one link in two different spots (#1 and #10) with a powerpoint, or pdf equivalent (or it's link) that is the same exact information from the original link including the byline. The third spot (#13) is being replaced with another link that also contains the same exact information on a pdf from the original link. I am copying the unedited sections that need updating along with the new links. Would somebody please insert these for me? I would very much appreciate your expert assistance. Thanks so much. Hillary Chase. PS (I noticed what appears in my message has extra numbers & error warning for some reason)

Review the history on articles with it included in its content. You do not need to become an administrator to do this. That is a distinction that you may not want to pursue at this time if your wish is to find articles. The history will be peicemeal based on what was changed. Start of with a word or stirng serach and as you review the hits eliminate those articles that may not suit your interest. I do it all the time for spelling and grammear problems.

This is sort of an extension of my earlier question. Let's say an article was deleted, and perhaps it was backed up or not.

No amount of reasoning as to "benefit" can be made by "registered users" to those of us e that are not as invested in WP as others. A registered user name is in no way a guarantee that someone cannot gain access to your IP address and to suggest that it just might because you are a registered user is not an absolutely correct characterisation. Unfortunately for some at WP, use of an IP s=address identifier seems to be thought of as unsocial and the start of vandalistic activities.

A registered user name is in no way a guarantee that someone cannot gain access to your IP addressis frankly ridiculous when you are editing with an IP address. Only specific users, whose real life identities are known to the Wikimedia foundation, are allowed to see a registered user's IP address. Also, the first thing you said was that you
created an account,which means you are a registered user. Your arguments are hypocritical paranoia and nothing more. Ian.thomson ( talk) 19:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello everyone,
please take a look at the page I created: /info/en/?search=Draft:Pharmacy_management_system
I never had drafts but this one. It was declined. So you know what that means? Wikipedia will not have any pages involving "Pharmacy management software programs" which is one of the most used software programs in the world. The reason: because there isn't any non-commercial/academic source that names most referred pharmacy management systems existing in the market. For your information, nowadays (from a few years ago), every pharmacy on the globe is completely depended on at least one pharmacy management software program to function, no matter which one it is. I gave up already. If anyone interested, please go ahead.
Thanks! — Preceding

I havnt and really have no interest in editing Wikipedia. However, if you go to to wiki page for: Gavel. You will notice that Richard Nixon broke it in the 1700s trying to deal with nukes.

My first Wikipedia article (Multi-tip scanning tunneling microscope) was deleted overnight by someone due to possible copyright violation.

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'd like to help (but don't know how) to separate the pages: /info/en/?search=PSG.LGD https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=LGD_Gaming&redirect=no
Basically LGD Gaming and PSG partnered over 1 (out of many) team in Dota2, however someone changed the whole LGD Gaming page to redirrect to PSG.LGD, making it look like PSG acquired the whole lGD organization, which is very far from the truth. It's simply a means of partnerships over 1 team. The moderator in there quoted "no sources" for lack of activity and action over many months (it would appear this has been a problem since the PSG.LGD deal was signed in Spring of 2018. LGD continue to have teams in other game titles, and so do PSG-Esports. The only one they share is PSG.LGD, the Dota2 team so the pages should be distinguished. Liquipedia, which is a wiki-style encyclopedia for esports & gaming has most of the information right and up to date, so it's a shame that the biggest and the best wiki (from which the name comes) isn't. If there's anything I can do to speed up the process, let me know. I'm not part of either organization, if that's a disclaimer I must add, I just wish esports be taken more seriously and reflected more precise in all media.

attempt[ing] to help my almamater [receive] more authorityis not a valid reason to have an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NOTPROMO. Topics may have a Wikipedia page only if they are "notable", which means roughly "has been talked about by numerous reliable, independent sources". We have multitude of topic-specific guidelines for what this means in practice; for schools, it's... complicated. Up until recently they were considered notable by default, but that changed, and the resulting guideline is not exactly clear.
great facility,
lofty reputation, etc. should not be found in the article). Finally, you are encouraged to review our policy about conflicts of interest before editing yourself on that topic. Tigraan Click here to contact me 13:47, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

A registered user name is in no way a guarantee that someone cannot gain access to your IP addressis frankly ridiculous when you are editing with an IP address. Only specific users, whose real life identities are known to the Wikimedia foundation, are allowed to see a registered user's IP address. Also, the first thing you said was that you
created an account,which means you are a registered user. Your arguments are hypocritical paranoia and nothing more. Ian.thomson ( talk) 19:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello everyone,
please take a look at the page I created: /info/en/?search=Draft:Pharmacy_management_system
I never had drafts but this one. It was declined. So you know what that means? Wikipedia will not have any pages involving "Pharmacy management software programs" which is one of the most used software programs in the world. The reason: because there isn't any non-commercial/academic source that names most referred pharmacy management systems existing in the market. For your information, nowadays (from a few years ago), every pharmacy on the globe is completely depended on at least one pharmacy management software program to function, no matter which one it is. I gave up already. If anyone interested, please go ahead.
Thanks! — Preceding

I havnt and really have no interest in editing Wikipedia. However, if you go to to wiki page for: Gavel. You will notice that Richard Nixon broke it in the 1700s trying to deal with nukes.
If anybody knows how I guess the world may be a slightly more typo free place.
Cheers
My first Wikipedia article (Multi-tip scanning tunneling microscope) was deleted overnight by someone due to possible copyright violation.
1) How can I know which parts text or images may violate copyright? The guy who deleted my article did not make ans specific comments.
2) If I obtain the permission from the copyright owner to incude this information in the wikipedia page: Do I have to publish the permission somehow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bert Voigtlaender ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'd like to help (but don't know how) to separate the pages: /info/en/?search=PSG.LGD https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=LGD_Gaming&redirect=no
Basically LGD Gaming and PSG partnered over 1 (out of many) team in Dota2, however someone changed the whole LGD Gaming page to redirrect to PSG.LGD, making it look like PSG acquired the whole lGD organization, which is very far from the truth. It's simply a means of partnerships over 1 team. The moderator in there quoted "no sources" for lack of activity and action over many months (it would appear this has been a problem since the PSG.LGD deal was signed in Spring of 2018. LGD continue to have teams in other game titles, and so do PSG-Esports. The only one they share is PSG.LGD, the Dota2 team so the pages should be distinguished. Liquipedia, which is a wiki-style encyclopedia for esports & gaming has most of the information right and up to date, so it's a shame that the biggest and the best wiki (from which the name comes) isn't. If there's anything I can do to speed up the process, let me know. I'm not part of either organization, if that's a disclaimer I must add, I just wish esports be taken more seriously and reflected more precise in all media.

My high school, with its name of "the High School Attached to Northwest Normal University(HNNH)", is the most famous high school in the northestern region in China. With its great facility and effort in education, has been granted with numerous certification and recieved lofty reputation in Gansu, China.
I am hoping to present my school to everyone who use wikipedia, with an attempt to help my almamater recieve more authority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edward Ted Chen ( talk • contribs) 13:31, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
attempt[ing] to help my almamater [receive] more authorityis not a valid reason to have an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NOTPROMO. Topics may have a Wikipedia page only if they are "notable", which means roughly "has been talked about by numerous reliable, independent sources". We have multitude of topic-specific guidelines for what this means in practice; for schools, it's... complicated. Up until recently they were considered notable by default, but that changed, and the resulting guideline is not exactly clear.
great facility,
lofty reputation, etc. should not be found in the article). Finally, you are encouraged to review our policy about conflicts of interest before editing yourself on that topic. Tigraan Click here to contact me 13:47, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
