Hi Actually all the Flash Crash pages are incorrect because the explanations are unverifiable and even though sources such as Bloomberg News are used as references that's not good enough. This flash crash has never been correctly explained. It was not caused by traders. The cause is a computer program embedded in the 1 minute boxes of the Dow Index found on trading platforms. I would like to edit all explanations for flash crashes on Wikipedia. The longer these unverified explanations are on the site the more people come to believe they're true.
I would like to explain the May 6 2010 Flash Crash and many other big stock market moves since. Can I use charts with explanations of the code on Wikipedia site? I need help doing this.20:39, 5 February 2019 (UTC) Something to think about ( talk)
How do I put my explanation for the May 6 2010 Flash Crash? Can I put charts with explanations?

The infringing content was also blatantly promotional market speak, that has no place in a Wikipedia article, and would have been properly removed even if it wasn't a copy-paste of non-free writing. You must not engage in plagiarism, nor violate copyright again. I will leave a note on your talk page about this issue. One other issue is that based on your edits, I assume you are connected with this topic – you are here writing about it because of your insider connection to it, so please comply with WP:PAID before editing the draft further.
As to the draft, I'm not sure the types of sources, with the depth of coverage we need to construct an encylopedia article, exist. Unless they do, no acceptable article will be possible. I'm not saying that is the case, but it seems likely here. So, consider whether you want to spend more of your valuable time on this. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 03:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

It seems like a simple issue, his edit [0] had two errors which I pointed out [1] [2] [4]. But he refuses to fix them, instead pointing me [3] toward ANI! Does that mean he wants to get blocked? I do not want him to get blocked, I just want him (or someone else) to fix the issues with the edit.
Does somebody have a user manual for this guy? ;)

@ Notrium: Unfortunately, you have completely misundertood the issue. My point - and RMS's initially - was that you violated our WP:BLP policy by adding in someone's name and calling them a convicted war criminal! RMS rightly reverted you because it is currently untrue. Did you not read his edit summary? That conviction is currently rescinded (cancelled), so what made you think it was ok to say it? All the rest of the concerns over your editing - and RMS's (and perhaps even mine now!) stem from your original bad edit, and your failure to see that. You reverted RMS's good faith edit that contained only minor errors, but reinstated your appallingly bad one which violated one of our key policies about making unfounded accusations about living people that were not, at that time, and in the eyes of the law, true! Is that any clearer? Nick Moyes ( talk) 16:24, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

I had a question whilst editing wikipedia.
What do you do if you wanted to investigate a sockpuppet, but you dont know what is the sockmaster?
This is related to my actions im doing on this site.
-- TheWinRat ( talk) 17:46, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
@ Thewinrat: Welcome to the Teahouse. Further to what Cabayi says above, I am really confused by your actions; they don't seem very reasonable to me. Perhaps I'm missing something blindingly obvious, so can you explain, please? Two minutes after posting here, you reported two different new users at WP:SPI ( see here). Each editor had only one ever made one or two edits each, and each created new drafts ( Draft:Himachal Abhi Abhi and Draft:Mahalaxmi municipile) They were created half an hour apart and both in Hindi. As I believe there are more than two Hindi-speakers in the world, is it not unreasonable for two such editors to coincide and make the mistake of posting a non-English article at roughly the same time? I fail to see why, at this time, you would conclude they were related as sockpuppets? The article contents seem totally unrelated, so I can't see how you'd conclude sockpuppetry just from seeing two consecutive entries on the Page Curation report. To me, your question here, and then immediately afterwards at SPI, just wastes volunteer time and suggests a serious lack of understanding by you of how parts of Wikipedia work. Before reporting and accusing editors, you should acquire far more evidence yourself - especially that which shows similar activity patterns before accusing brand new editors of sockpuppetry. You'll have seen that we have an editor interaction tool to compare the activities of two or more editors, and perhaps you should look at older SPI reports to see how others have gathered their suspicions together before reporting them. How do you think an immediate SPI notice on their userpages is going to make people feel welcome as new editors here? Because I have looked at your talkpage and have seen others editors expressing concerns about your lack of understanding in certain areas of Wikipedia, I am going to paste a copy of this reply directly on your talk page, and advise you to step back before reporting more editors in this way. Please read: WP:CIR. Regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 19:02, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

In an effort to finalize this project - I suddenly have been given notice by Muninnbot (automated editor Bot) about a claim without reference or citation about HANDWRITTEN CITATION SIDENOTES (posted in red on the article under Museum Archive Description). There is a photo and video reference of these notes to be posted but have not yet been referenced. The photo is in wiki commons media to library [1] The video is preexisting and used in the article as a citation as well. How do I clear this? and add to the citations?
Also under References at very the bottom of the page, I can neither edit in source mode or Visual mode (it says I can edit in source mode, not true) I need to add and adjust the information but there is a warning notice that it is created in a template. Confusing. BARRY BARON ( talk) 20:37, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
References
What Muninnbot did was move your Teahouse query from the present list to the Archive. It's still there (you linked back to it) but now less likely to be seen by any editor visiting Teahouse. From looking at your Contributions you have been working on (and asking at Teahouse about) a draft in your Sandbox. There are still key questions about whether this rests on unpublished references, even if those include materials in a museum collection. In my own opinion, a better path would be to create an article for an art magazine. Only after that was published would it be a reference for Wikipedia. And, sadly, the information you have would then be more appropriate as a new section in the existing Wikipedia article about the painting in question. All this is the same as Cullen has already written. David notMD ( talk) 00:19, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
REFERENCES: You do not type the reference under References. Refs get inserted in the text. The program automatically numbers with a superscript in the text and adds the reference to the list. References coming later in the article get automatically renumbered. David notMD ( talk) 03:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I am a member of incorporated as a non-profit organization. Our core goal is to advance the role of women in the agricultural industry. As part of this, we are implementing a project called "Champions" which highlights the women, men and organizations who are working actively to advance women. The project consists of interviews which are posted on our webpage https://mbwomeninagnfood.wixsite.com/mwaf/champions and our social media. The question is whether this page or the individual interviews can be published in Wikipedia and, if so, how are the editors going to verify the content of the interviews? Thank you for your help.

jmcgnh thanks for your feedback this is very helpful. I will look at the help guide and make corrections. I can see why you might say it is a hoax, many over the last 20 years who have heard about it have said this is too good to be true. Never-the-less Alan Fowler the creator has over 30 successful case studies from organisations like Martin Currie Investments, Northern Ireland Water, Central Government, Buckinghamshire Hospital Trust, and BTHealth Care Group. D4 was referenced in the Business Scotland Magazine (page 61) last month. More importantly, we are in the early stages of backing from a well-known professor at Edinburgh University. How would you suggest I amend the wording to let readers see this is genuine? (I understand if you do not want to read it at this time:)
David notMD thanks for your feedback. When I hit submit it just came back to the same submit screen? I am a Director of CTA Global Ltd, the company that bought the D4 IP. Is this ok?

References coming later in the article get automatically renumbered. David notMD ( talk) 03:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I am a member of incorporated as a non-profit organization. Our core goal is to advance the role of women in the agricultural industry. As part of this, we are implementing a project called "Champions" which highlights the women, men and organizations who are working actively to advance women. The project consists of interviews which are posted on our webpage https://mbwomeninagnfood.wixsite.com/mwaf/champions and our social media. The question is whether this page or the individual interviews can be published in Wikipedia and, if so, how are the editors going to verify the content of the interviews? Thank you for your help. I don't require the answer specific to a mobile device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgLadiesinWpg ( talk • contribs) 22:30, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you both so much for your help. It has given me a lot to consider. Question: the interviews are not on video, they are text. Does it make a difference somehow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgLadiesinWpg ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I've drafted my first article and submitted it for review and hopefully approval but a few days have passed and I'm not sure what to expect next. How long would it usually take to receive feedback? Apologies if the guidance is on here and I've missed it, I'm still finding my way around. Many Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMyll ( talk • contribs) 10:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying David - I'll try again. I do need to declare an (unpaid) interest and have read the guidance on that however, I hope I've written the content from an unbiased perspective using references and sources in the public domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMyll ( talk • contribs) 12:13, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
I followed the pathway again to create a new article from the link here /info/en/?search=Help:Contents - "Create a new article" and I can't actually see any button labelled "Submit your draft for review" I only have a "Publish" option. Apologies if it's somewhere obvious and I'm just missing it but I'd be grateful for further guidance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMyll ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi All
I have just completed my first article and clicked on the "Submit your draft for review" button. Is there a way I can check if it has been submitted and see the progress of the review?
Excited to be part of the community?
Thanks in advance,
Ewan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewan Menzies ( talk • contribs) 21:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
jmcgnh thanks for your feedback this is very helpful. I will look at the help guide and make corrections. I can see why you might say it is a hoax, many over the last 20 years who have heard about it have said this is too good to be true. Never-the-less Alan Fowler the creator has over 30 successful case studies from organisations like Martin Currie Investments, Northern Ireland Water, Central Government, Buckinghamshire Hospital Trust, and BTHealth Care Group. D4 was referenced in the Business Scotland Magazine (page 61) last month. More importantly, we are in the early stages of backing from a well-known professor at Edinburgh University. How would you suggest I amend the wording to let readers see this is genuine? (I understand if you do not want to read it at this time:)
David notMD thanks for your feedback. When I hit submit it just came back to the same submit screen? I am a Director of CTA Global Ltd, the company that bought the D4 IP. Is this ok?

Hi All,
Being a new user, I created biography page under my own user sandbox namespace. How can I create/transfer that user biography page to new one. Also, how to make that article public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anvika Mishra ( talk • contribs) 12:24, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
331dot's point is that people are strongly advised against trying to create an article about themselves. see WP:AUTO. Your draft has been reviewed and rejected, with advice given by the reviewer. From a quick look, much of the content - while probably true - is without references. David notMD ( talk) 15:25, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Am I allowed to copy and paste to facebook with wiki article at top of post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smith1951 ( talk • contribs) 15:18, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello
I have looked at numerous Wikipedia pages and have found numerous ones that are company specific /info/en/?search=Speck_Products /info/en/?search=Skullcandy
As such, we want to create a similar page for PIVOT.
Do I do this in Sandbox and them select PUBLISH PAGE for a review?
Please advise. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KJ010110 ( talk • contribs) 21:52, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
