Dear Sirs,
Tuesday, January 22, 2019: I am editing my original question posted in the last seven days. In addition to the fact that Ubi Primum has at least two authors, the main subject of Ubi Primum is the office of Bishop. It would make more sense in the context of Pope Pius IX being a Marian Pope to substitute his Papal Encyclical Ineffabilis Deus for Ubi Primum in the Wikipedia article about Pope Pius IX. Ineffabilis Deus' subject is the Immaculate Conception. That is how I would edit the Pope Pius IX article: substitute Ineffabilis Deus for Ubi Primum. That makes the most sense and does not disturb the article content at all.
Summary: In 1824, Ubi Primum is attributed to Pope Leone XII, in 1847 Ubi Primum is attributed to Pope Pio IX and in 1849 Ubi Primum is attributed to Pope Pio IX. In the Pope Pius IX article on Wikipedia and in reference to Ubi Primum there is no reference to the pre-existing Papal Encyclical written by Pope Leo XII. That was confusing to me.
References: In reading the Wikipedia article about Pope Pius IX, I discovered an error. The error is that the Papal Encyclical Ubi Primum is attributed to Pope Pius IX while Ubi Primum is written by Leo XII and again later by Pius IX. I have just noticed that the vatican.va lists alternatively Pio IX and Leone XII as the author here: https://w2.vatican.va/content/leo-xii/it/documents/enciclica-ubi-primum-5-maggio-1824.html as Leo XII ... and here: https://w2.vatican.va/content/pius-ix/it/documents/enciclica-ubi-primum-2-febbraio-1849.html as Pius IX... and here: https://w2.vatican.va/content/pius-ix/it/documents/enciclica-ubi-primum-17-giugno-1847.html as Pius IX.
I applied to do an edit. Because of the Kwysinski dog rapper problem, I had to wait. Still I am not allowed to edit after about 24 hours. Anyway to avoid any confusion can someone add into the Pope Pius IX article that more than one Papal Encyclical has the title Ubi Primum and that Pope Leo XII is another author?

Regards, Mr. Michael Griffin p.s. The edit could say: "Ubi Primum" (note: three versions of the Papal Encyclical Ubi Primum exist including Ubi Primum authored in 1824 by Pope Leo XII). The edit could also say something like "Ubi Primum dated 1847," or "Ubi Primum dated 1847 and/or 1849." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:FD00:51C0:89F2:2121:9602:E0A5 ( talk) 19:55, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Earlier today, I came across and reverted a change to Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir that pushed a certain POV and was also considerably below the quality of the rest of the article. I put it on my watch list, and have now seen the same user make a change, this time removing content, but to push the same point of view. In this case, I actually believe they may be right; the content, while it has been there for a while, is ill sourced and its rationale for being in the page disputable, but the editor does have a declared conflict of interest on this page and I am hoping some here may be able to comment on whether they agree that he was right in this second case, and what I, as a neutral outsider who se knowledge of Kashmir at best amounts to being able to point to it on a map, should be doing in regards to such POV changes while under a COI -- NoCOBOL (talk) 15:52, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I am an employee of a subsidiary company related to the page mentioned in this thread. I simply made statistical changes related to his win stats for graded stakes races and notable horses. I did not write any of the information on the page other than updated racing statistics and a photo. However, I was notified that this is a conflict of interest and there is a notice on the page now. How do i remove this notice and or how do i claim a potential conflict of interest on the page so this page does not get removed or cause any trouble? Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Hello ColinFine, thank you for taking the time to explain this to me, I'm not trying to be "edit warring", rather it is my ignorance with wikipedia that is the cause, I will gather up the reliable published source and communicate that to the editor/author, how do I send a message directly to them? thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellhammer666 ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
When is it appropriate to edit an article to include mention of a forthcoming publication? A year ago I added mention of a book contract (with $1 Million+ advance) to a biographic article. The book is a novel about the subject; I did not write the book nor have any connection to the author. It was a two-line edit with citation, but it was removed because the book hadn't been published yet, and as a violation of WP:CRYSTAL.
The book now has a publication date of February 5, a page on the publisher's site, major author blurbs, a book tour, and is available for preorder on Amazon and multiple other places. Do I have to wait till February 5, or can I add this info now? And if so, how should it be worded? Thank you! Susanc1906 ( talk) 17:06, 23 January 2019 (UTC)susanc1906
I am simply adding a book citation to an existing article because it is a novel about the biographical subject. It is published by Little, Brown, not self-published, and there is an ISBN.

After researching DuPont on this site, I can see lots of praise for the company, all of their meritorious awards and contributions. I only wanted to ask, because Wikipedia now seems like a biased media outlet, why is there NO mention of the DuPont Teflon epidemic? This company poisoned millions with its lack of waste control and complete carelessness, killed and infected people and animals at an extraordinary rate.

Hi,
My major crime article on a child abuse network was changed to a draft due to copyright concerns. I have reworded all exact text matches with its sources except the phrases in this table, which are mainly quotes, names of crimes and lengths of prison sentences.
Can someone please tell me, are the phrases in this table all in the article for a good reason, or are some of them are still a copyright infringement?
Is my draft ready to be restored as an article?

I am too busy to spend time learning all the skills/tricks to do stuff on WIKI (even sending this as a question, i see "publish changes" which seems ridiculous) but see many things i'd like to quickly improve.

I am editing the article Bycombia and have two questions. I have information that lists the subfamily and tribe and want to know if this information should be added to the taxonomic box. Also, there is very little written about this moth and I think the article pretty much plumbs the depths of what's out there. Can O remove the stub template?

"the species may require a separate genius"Maybe you are that person? Finally, I definitely feel you can now alter the article assessment from 'stub' to 'start' class yourself. You do that by visiting the article's talk page and changing the parameters there.

It is my humble opinion that a minor error exists in information provided for "adaptation" @ /info/en/?search=Adaptation#What_adaptation_is_not
I have chosen not to take it upon myself to edit but to call attention and let the host or host source make the change. The following paragraph is directly from the source page and the portion in question is highlighted and in "quotation".
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and "has been evolved by natural selection"
I have articulated the following to lend clarification for the portion in question:
According to the theory of evolution, organisms are not evolved by natural selection because it is not the acting force that causes the change. Natural selection is a cleansing process in which “injurious” (inferior) organisms are made extinct through attrition while random mutation is the cause for genetically superior organisms to “evolve”.
Based on the aforementioned premise, "has been evolved by natural selection" should read closer to: as a result of natural selection the evolutionary processes proceed.
Thank you

I'm currently trying to create a Wikipedia page about Emilio Meraz-Rodriguez, a 21 year old All-American soccer player. He has been featured in three articles and multiple blogs. His story is inspiring and his accomplishments on the field are impressive.
I will be following Wikipedia's style guidelines (no use of superlatives etc.).
These are some of the articles that the page will cite, there are more:
https://keprtv.com/sports/content/more-than-a-game-the-meraz-rodriguez-brothers https://www.tri-cityherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-soccer/article32228892.html https://www.tri-cityherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-soccer/article210066339.html https://gogeoducks.com/news/2018/11/6/mens-soccer-meraz-rodriguez-leads-evergreen-all-star-parade.aspx http://inwsoccer.blogspot.com/2015/05/eastern-washington-hs-boys-weekly_29.html
This is a list of his accomplishments: ✭ All-Time Assists Leader (29), Pasco HS ‘13 -‘15 ✭ All-American Hnr. Mention., Top Drawer, ‘15 ✭ All-State 1st Team (WA), Top Drawer ‘15 ✭ 2x All-Area MVP, Pasco HS ‘14-’15 ✭ 3x All-MCC 1st Team, Pasco HS ‘13 -‘15 ✭ Led Pasco HS to State Cup, ‘15 ✭ NWAC All-Star, WWC ‘15 ✭ 3rd in NWAC in Assists, WWC ‘15 ✭ NWAC All-Region Team, WWC ‘16 ✭ NAIA All-American Hnr. Mention, ESC ‘18 ✭ CCC All-Conference 1st Team, ESC ’18 ✭ CCC Newcomer of the Year, ESC ‘18 ✭ 1st in CCC in Assists Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ 3rd in CCC in Points Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ 11th in NAIA in Assists Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ INNW Player of the Week, ESC Sep ‘18 ✭ Nat. Club Finals, 2 Goals, Three Rivers SC, ‘10
My question:
Would these sources and his accomplishments meet or exceed the threshold of notability? I would hope they would, but would like to get some feedback as to whether or not I should continue working on his page (and continue learning Wikipedia's code).

Hi there, I found some bizarre edits by user أمين, adding arbitrary links to pages, many of them overlinking with at least one wrong link and some datelinks. Looking at their talk page leads me to suspect they're trying to get up to 500 edits to qualify for 500/30 rules.

Do I have to wait till February 5, or can I add this info now? And if so, how should it be worded? Thank you! Susanc1906 ( talk) 17:06, 23 January 2019 (UTC)susanc1906
I am simply adding a book citation to an existing article because it is a novel about the biographical subject. It is published by Little, Brown, not self-published, and there is an ISBN. Wikipedia has a citation format I can use. The book has been reviewed and can be pre-ordered, but the release date is February 5. Can I add the citation NOW?

After researching DuPont on this site, I can see lots of praise for the company, all of their meritorious awards and contributions. I only wanted to ask, because Wikipedia now seems like a biased media outlet, why is there NO mention of the DuPont Teflon epidemic? This company poisoned millions with its lack of waste control and complete carelessness, killed and infected people and animals at an extraordinary rate. But, still no mention of this...why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.135.189 ( talk) 22:56, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi,
My major crime article on a child abuse network was changed to a draft due to copyright concerns. I have reworded all exact text matches with its sources except the phrases in this table, which are mainly quotes, names of crimes and lengths of prison sentences.
Can someone please tell me, are the phrases in this table all in the article for a good reason, or are some of them are still a copyright infringement?
Is my draft ready to be restored as an article?

I read a page on Naomi Osaka and the text explained her tendency to not look people straight in the eyes as a result of her being shy. That is obvious but incomplete. I wanted to add the following:
and a natural result of growing up in Japan where people tend to avoid looking directly into other's eyes as it is considered to be impolite or aggressive behavior.
I am too busy to spend time learning all the skills/tricks to do stuff on WIKI (even sending this as a question, i see "publish changes" which seems ridiculous) but see many things i'd like to quickly improve. If each page had a place to click to send a note to someone in charge of it, it would be nice. otherwise you risk favoring info provided by a certain type of fastidious young folk & professional scholars at the expense of those of us who have spent a life reading and creating content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flying Tofu ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
I would like to know, as I haven't been able to find it, where to make a feature request regarding the Wiki software, so appropriate programmers will see it.

I'm looking at the Wikipedia article for depth of field. It starts with a relatively technical definition of a fairly technical topic. Comparatively, wiktionary has the less technical "In photography, the distance in front of and behind the subject that appears to be in focus." [1].

I am editing the article Bycombia and have two questions. I have information that lists the subfamily and tribe and want to know if this information should be added to the taxonomic box. Also, there is very little written about this moth and I think the article pretty much plumbs the depths of what's out there. Can O remove the stub template? Many thanks, Aurornisxui ( talk) 17:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
"the species may require a separate genius"Maybe you are that person? Finally, I definitely feel you can now alter the article assessment from 'stub' to 'start' class yourself. You do that by visiting the article's talk page and changing the parameters there. For help to understand this very informal process, which all editors are free to contribute to, please visit Wikipedia:Content assessment. Does this make sense?

So, I have made an account after accidentally editing an article without an account, which I thought would link my previous edit to my username but it didn’t. I am interested in writing articles on Wikipedia and editing the ones that misinform people. I just wanted for those edits to be under my name and not my IP. Is there any way that can be edited?

Hi,
I've recently resubmitted a wiki page I wrote. I remember when resubmitting a couple of months ago I put some kind of code in the very beginning so that my wiki page will be seen more speedily. Can you help me with that code?

When one types in an entry into the Wikipedia search on the main page, a short description appears below. I have gathered that this is called the "Central Description" but unfortunately I have found no way to edit this. Is there a way? The central description for the page I have recently been assigned to update by my organization is no longer accurate. Thank you for your help SchoolTeacher42 ( talk) 17:02, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
It is my humble opinion that a minor error exists in information provided for "adaptation" @ /info/en/?search=Adaptation#What_adaptation_is_not
I have chosen not to take it upon myself to edit but to call attention and let the host or host source make the change. The following paragraph is directly from the source page and the portion in question is highlighted and in "quotation".
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and "has been evolved by natural selection"
I have articulated the following to lend clarification for the portion in question:
According to the theory of evolution, organisms are not evolved by natural selection because it is not the acting force that causes the change. Natural selection is a cleansing process in which “injurious” (inferior) organisms are made extinct through attrition while random mutation is the cause for genetically superior organisms to “evolve”.
Based on the aforementioned premise, "has been evolved by natural selection" should read closer to: as a result of natural selection the evolutionary processes proceed.
Thank you

I'm currently trying to create a Wikipedia page about Emilio Meraz-Rodriguez, a 21 year old All-American soccer player. He has been featured in three articles and multiple blogs. His story is inspiring and his accomplishments on the field are impressive.
I will be following Wikipedia's style guidelines (no use of superlatives etc.).
These are some of the articles that the page will cite, there are more:
https://keprtv.com/sports/content/more-than-a-game-the-meraz-rodriguez-brothers https://www.tri-cityherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-soccer/article32228892.html https://www.tri-cityherald.com/sports/high-school/prep-soccer/article210066339.html https://gogeoducks.com/news/2018/11/6/mens-soccer-meraz-rodriguez-leads-evergreen-all-star-parade.aspx http://inwsoccer.blogspot.com/2015/05/eastern-washington-hs-boys-weekly_29.html
This is a list of his accomplishments: ✭ All-Time Assists Leader (29), Pasco HS ‘13 -‘15 ✭ All-American Hnr. Mention., Top Drawer, ‘15 ✭ All-State 1st Team (WA), Top Drawer ‘15 ✭ 2x All-Area MVP, Pasco HS ‘14-’15 ✭ 3x All-MCC 1st Team, Pasco HS ‘13 -‘15 ✭ Led Pasco HS to State Cup, ‘15 ✭ NWAC All-Star, WWC ‘15 ✭ 3rd in NWAC in Assists, WWC ‘15 ✭ NWAC All-Region Team, WWC ‘16 ✭ NAIA All-American Hnr. Mention, ESC ‘18 ✭ CCC All-Conference 1st Team, ESC ’18 ✭ CCC Newcomer of the Year, ESC ‘18 ✭ 1st in CCC in Assists Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ 3rd in CCC in Points Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ 11th in NAIA in Assists Per Game, ESC ‘18 ✭ INNW Player of the Week, ESC Sep ‘18 ✭ Nat. Club Finals, 2 Goals, Three Rivers SC, ‘10
My question:
Would these sources and his accomplishments meet or exceed the threshold of notability? I would hope they would, but would like to get some feedback as to whether or not I should continue working on his page (and continue learning Wikipedia's code).

Hi there, I found some bizarre edits by user أمين, adding arbitrary links to pages, many of them overlinking with at least one wrong link and some datelinks. Looking at their talk page leads me to suspect they're trying to get up to 500 edits to qualify for 500/30 rules.

I added a link to a "liveleak.com" video source on the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Ceaușescu as I believed this source was not included already. But it was reverted as being unnecessary...
