Could someone with admin privileges please rename /info/en/?search=Draft:John_Ferrar_(Virginia_settler), to John Ferrar (Deputy Treasurer, Virginia Company). Not only is the tite (Virginia Settler) inaccurate but it is confusing. It isnot the title of the article I produced in my sandbox. Thank you Alvanhholmes ( talk) 12:47, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Edaham:Thanks you very much for your help and advice. There are, unfortunately, a few things that I don't understand. You said you moved the draft, and you don't have to be an admin to do that. Question: How did you move the draft and is the old draft still there? I did read the bit about Natural Disambiguation, and I have a question on that. What Would the Title John Ferrar Deputy Treasurer, Virginia Company be disamgbiguous?. I would like to name the article John Ferrar Deputy Treasurer, Virginia Company But I didn't think that was allowed. Is that permissible? If so how do I "move" it.It wasn't me that put the title in brackets. I believe that I had originally titled it as John Ferrar Deputy Treasurer and when it was moved to drafts: who ever moved it retitled it.
There is a similar situation with /info/en/?search=Draft:John_Ferrar_(Lincolnshire_esquire), when I submitted it, the name was changed. I would like it renamed John Ferrar the elder of London. I realize that it is rather long, but it should not be named Lincolnshire, as he was a wealthy London Merchant, and Lincolnshire was just one of many counties in which he owned property, Alvanhholmes ( talk) 17:56, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Bonadea: Thank you for your suggestion and link to manual of style. It gets confusing on one hand I am told to use John Ferrar (Trasurer... and on the other to use John Ferrar the Elder. One user told me to split the subjct (two John Ferrars) into two articles, another suggest that I incorporate them into one called Farrar Family. (I do not like that option anymore). While I deal with this issue could you possibly help me by changing the title of /info/en/?search=Draft:John_Ferrar_(Lincolnshire_esquire) to at least John Ferrar (London_Esquire. thanks Alvanhholmes ( talk) 19:01, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
User:Alvanhholmes - Read the instructions on moving a page. Moving a page renames it, but it normally leaves a redirect at the old location, so that both the old title and the new title can be used to find the page. Moving can be done in draft space, in article space, from draft space to article space, or almost anywhere in Wikipedia. Accepting an article is done by a script that moves it from draft space to article space and makes historical changes to it. Any autoconfirmed editor can move a page, unless there is a page protection, which is not the case here. (There are special types of moves that are limited to admins and to page movers, but those special types of moves are not involved here.) Yes, as you said on my talk page, there are a lot of details that you can read about. Robert McClenon ( talk) 20:07, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Architecture
The design of the museum, comprising a kind of multi-layer, delicate, transparent spatial configuration, was inspired by the traditional Cantonese ivory puzzle ball, which is characterized by a delicate stack of carved ivory, similar to an onion... The ivory puzzle ball represents the great technique of Cantonese vernacular craftsmanship. Therefore, as a cultural symbol, the ivory sculpture gives the museum both a meaningful spatial concept and cultural resonance.

I hope this is the right way to ask my question... I recently created a page about Phineas Pratt, a historical figure who is noted on the Plimoth.org and Pilgrim Hall sites, as well in numerous stories of the first years of the Plymouth/Pilgrim Colony, as he was a contemporary chronicler and an actor in those events. It was flagged for deletion due to notability. My question is around the best way to handle such a flag and if I took all the appropriate steps. I went to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Phineas_Pratt and added a KEEP note (which I guess I cited with the wrong type of linking—I had read another entry and was trying to follow suit—but I think I cleaned it up after I was called stupid. ;D ). This morning I received an email saying the page had been reviewed by Barkeep49. I also received a separate note saying the page had been edited today (11/24) by Barkeep49, but there was no summary and I don't see any evidence at all on the page. The AfD flag is still present. Can someone help me to understand what a review means, and if there is something I should be doing but have not to establish the notability of my subject. Thanks very much in advance. Darcyjae ( talk) 14:58, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Darcyjae: I would like to enter one criticism for the sake of historical accuracy. In the opening sentence you claim that this man was one of the first settlers of the United States.. Do you realize that the Company of London had approved three charters before the one that recognized the New England settlers. [reply to|Darcyjae]In fact the "Pilgrims" had departed Plimouth for Virginia and stopped at Plymouth rock to replenish their supply of potable liquid (beer). That the first settlers were arrived in Jamestown in 1607, with more arriving after and by the time the "Pilgrims" stepped off onto the rock they called Plymouth, there were thousands of Settlers living in the territory now called the U.S.A., so Phineas most certainly was not among the first, and indeed the "Pilgrims" were not the first or among the first. They were the first to settle in what we now call Massachusetts, and at the time of both settlement, neither were colonies of England, that didn't happen until the King dissolved the Charters that authorized the ventures (settlements) and made them colonies and that was in 1628 if I recall correctly Alvanhholmes ( talk) 21:50, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Darcyjae: Apologies. Either your article on Phineas was corrected after my comment (checked the history and no record) or the information that got to my brain, such as it is, was not the same as you had written, for I checked back and indeed you said he was among the first settlers of New England, unlike some I believe that admissions of error are not a sign of weakness, but strength. Takes guts to admit that you are wrong.. Alvanhholmes ( talk)

Habung is a small place in Dhemaji.. Habung got its significance after the arrival of Tai prince Sukapha
Habung is derived from Tai Ahom origin Means Ha= "5" Bung = "to become king"
As Habung was the Fifth capital of Ahom dynasty, and sukafa was the founder of Ahom dynasty.
If anyone visit habung then one can find the ruins of Ahom monuments.. Now recently CM of Assam sarbananda sonowal donates 2 corores to habung for the rivival and to save the Ruins of Ahom history .

I wrote an article and it was declined by AfC. Legacypac said, I could ask for help here.
This is the article: Draft:Zenkit.
Zenkit is a project management software with a coverage all over the world. It's in the German Wikipedia in the meantime because there are more press articles which I could use (I used German and English press).

User:Mhhossein removed a quotation from the MEK's lede section complaining that there was a " Wikipedia:Non free content#Text" violation. I responded that the lede had only three quotes, so there wasn't an issue, but in an effort to work with his request I would restore the quote he removed ( which had been allowed to be included via Talk page consensus) and paraphrase the remaining two quotes. The user subsequently threatened to report me, and then he did here.
This user has made false accusations against me several times now trying to get me sanctioned: [3] [4], [5], [6], etc. (the user has been previously warned about having strong POV and being particularly hard of hearing, has a habit of reporting other editors that disagree with him, and has been part of more than a few reports at ANI: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]).

I also received a separate note saying the page had been edited today (11/24) by Barkeep49, but there was no summary and I don't see any evidence at all on the page. The AfD flag is still present. Can someone help me to understand what a review means, and if there is something I should be doing but have not to establish the notability of my subject. Thanks very much in advance.

@ Darcyjae: I would like to enter one criticism for the sake of historical accuracy. In the opening sentence you claim that this man was one of the first settlers of the United States.. Do you realize that the Company of London had approved three charters before the one that recognized the New England settlers. [reply to|Darcyjae]In fact the "Pilgrims" had departed Plimouth for Virginia and stopped at Plymouth rock to replenish their supply of potable liquid (beer). That the first settlers were arrived in Jamestown in 1607, with more arriving after and by the time the "Pilgrims" stepped off onto the rock they called Plymouth, there were thousands of Settlers living in the territory now called the U.S.A., so Phineas most certainly was not among the first, and indeed the "Pilgrims" were not the first or among the first. They were the first to settle in what we now call Massachusetts, and at the time of both settlement, neither were colonies of England, that didn't happen until the King dissolved the Charters that authorized the ventures (settlements) and made them colonies and that was in 1628 if I recall correctly Alvanhholmes ( talk) 21:50, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Darcyjae: Apologies. Either your article on Phineas was corrected after my comment (checked the history and no record) or the information that got to my brain, such as it is, was not the same as you had written, for I checked back and indeed you said he was among the first settlers of New England, unlike some I believe that admissions of error are not a sign of weakness, but strength. Takes guts to admit that you are wrong.. Alvanhholmes ( talk)
Hi,
I am the National Chairperson for the California National Party and our Wikipedia page keeps getting falsely altered to indicate that our party has dissolved. However, that is not true.

I am a new editor of Wikipedia and have zero experience in editing. I thought the Sandbox was a space where you can attempt to learn how to create or edit articles. My initial attempt at editing has been rejected by another user and now I am wondering what my next step is. Can anybody please instruct me what the process involves in getting the ten edits confirmed so as to be a verified editor? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W.L.Maher ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
I would like cite an article in a magazine that is a multiple-month issue, say, "January / February" for a certain year. I haven't been able to make the "date" parameter accept the "January / February year" string as a parameter. Is there an appropriate way to do this, other than, say, choosing the first month (i.e. having the parameter be "date=January 20XX") and having the reader infer an understanding of what it signifies? Thank you. Kekki1978 ( talk) 18:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Habung is a small place in Dhemaji.. Habung got its significance after the arrival of Tai prince Sukapha
Habung is derived from Tai Ahom origin Means Ha= "5" Bung = "to become king"
As Habung was the Fifth capital of Ahom dynasty, and sukafa was the founder of Ahom dynasty.
If anyone visit habung then one can find the ruins of Ahom monuments.. Now recently CM of Assam sarbananda sonowal donates 2 corores to habung for the rivival and to save the Ruins of Ahom history .
Also Ahom people now a days perform their Traditional rituals like ma-dam-ma-fi. Also Bihu was to celebrate here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koncheng ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

04:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Hi everyone, need your help. I've submitted two days ago an article for "Nicola Loporchio", as mentioned in the subject/headline, but it seems some links or font are missing. So, since I'm pretty unexperienced with this kind of stuff, I'd like for someone to help me or even point me out what I shall still credit, so I can add notes.
Hope someone can help me and thanks in advance.

05:03, 25 November 2018 (UTC)There is an article about me in the Spanish Wikipedia ( es:Daniel Eisenberg). I did not write it, and didn’t know it existed until six years after it was written. It has been translated into French and Esperanto.

05:18, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Hi,
I wrote an article and it was declined by AfC. Legacypac said, I could ask for help here.
This is the article: Draft:Zenkit.
Zenkit is a project management software with a coverage all over the world. It's in the German Wikipedia in the meantime because there are more press articles which I could use (I used German and English press).
Because I'm in a conflict of interest, I need help with this article. I would be happy about any advice. -- Jessica Lu. ( talk) 11:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
There're multiple lists on Wikipedia (e.g. List of countries by government budget) where the ranking order (the first column) doesn't change based on the parameter I sort the list by. Is it possible to make it dynamic (i.e. so that the rank changes based on the parameter I sort the list by)? And if so, how do I do that? Openlydialectic ( talk) 08:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

User:Mhhossein removed a quotation from the MEK's lede section complaining that there was a " Wikipedia:Non free content#Text" violation. I responded that the lede had only three quotes, so there wasn't an issue, but in an effort to work with his request I would restore the quote he removed ( which had been allowed to be included via Talk page consensus) and paraphrase the remaining two quotes. The user subsequently threatened to report me, and then he did here.
This user has made false accusations against me several times now trying to get me sanctioned: [3] [4], [5], [6], etc. (the user has been previously warned about having strong POV and being particularly hard of hearing, has a habit of reporting other editors that disagree with him, and has been part of more than a few reports at ANI: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]).
Are his continuous false accusations and casting aspersions a case of WP:HARASS / WP:BULLY? Thanks in advance for your help. Stefka Bulgaria ( talk) 10:46, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
I was editing the Mildred L. Batchelder Award page by adding the new 2018 winner and honors. But when I finished, the section below, "Multiple Awards and honors" somehow popped into the "Recipients" table. I tried undoing my changes and starting over, but it still happened. I'm not sure what to do. If anyone wants to edit the article themselves, then here are the official results: http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/batchelderaward/batchelderpast

midi files are used extensively in some Wikipedia articles but no longer seem to be supported by modern browsers such as Firefox and Chrome. This seems a shame given their small size, distinction from waveform encoded formats like OGG/MP3 and widespread use in the music industry.
What shall and can we do to remedy this?
Interval (music) is a page that uses midi files in perfectly appropriate circumstances (so I understand), to define and contrast exact musical pitches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackalus Again ( talk • contribs) 21:08, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

I have read the requirements for creating an entry. I want to create and entry about a person and their contributions to the motorcycle riding community. This person is really not knows anywhere outside the community but he has made significant contributions to the Northern California off-road riding community. The way I see it it's more about what he has done than getting his name in lights, etc. It seems to me that the wikipedia requirement that there be publicly available web pages regarding a person before creating a wiki page is a chicken and egg problem - I want to create an entry about this person and what he has done precisely because there is no other information about him. Can anyone help me with how I might approach this? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottttaggart (talk ( talk • contribs) 21:33, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
