Hi,
We (Global Swedish shirt brand Eton Shirts) would like to add an english version about the history of Eton Shirts from the founding in 1928 to today. We are already present on the Swedish Wikipedia but since our biggest market is outside Scandinavia (mainly North America but also Continental Europe) it would be nice with an english version as well. We do not want to publish anything without running it with the Wikipedia community first and therefore kindly ask if someone could advise us how to move forward? If this is not the right place to ask this question, please advise us on that as well. We already have a text proposal completed with sources but like stated above, we would like to run everything we have with the Wikipedia community first. Swe jon ( talk) 13:35, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi,
I submitted this page ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Pradeo), and it got rejected for not passing the NCORP criteria. I'm wondering how I could improve that, because the sources used (I think) are independent and reliable. In addition, the person reviewing said it was "somewhat promotional". But in comparison to another company in the same industry ( /info/en/?search=Zimperium) I can't really tell where I'm promotional.

Hello
It looks like their is an issue with the graph of Palma de Mallorca for passengers. If somebody could let me know that would be great.
I'm looking to create articles of notable people of Quebec's founding and first settlers. The problem is there are many bios relating to these people but only a few on Wikipedia. Many of these people coexisted together or around the same time and are connected through history with prominent people of the distant past and present.
The issue I am having is creating a profile that isn't similar to others when they are the same person.
All the profiles you find have the same original sources, so how do I create something that isn't going to have the same information? And as you would expect they all are very much alike. Jlastowski ( talk) 16:08, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

C. J. Ford used to believe that if police apprehended someone it was because they had broken the law. That is, until one day, while driving through Torrance, an officer going in the opposite direction, did a u-turn and pulled him over. The office claimed that he pulled Ford over because of the tint on Ford’s windows. Ford told the officer that he bought the car like that, however he would make the appropriate corrections to a fix it ticket that he assumed the officer was going to write, but the officer pursued a different aspect of the detention other then a mire “fix it ticket”. The officer asked to look in the trunk of Ford’s car. Ford refused. Ford told the officer that he did not have probable cause to search his trunk. The police officer asked whether Ford was hiding something…. Ford continued to refuse several attempts by the officer to search his truck. As the officer continued to argue, within minutes there were at least 5 police cars surrounding Ford and an overhead helicopter. Some of the additional officers that arrived to turns questioning Ford as to why he would not allow them to access his car trunk, or allow them to enter into his vehicle to search it. Ford continued to resist the officers demands to search his car or his trunk, even though Ford fear level was to the extreme, but the challenge to Ford’s constitutional rights were at stake. Ford’s fears were justified because previously Ford had been contacted to investigate several cases by defendants and inmates who claimed drugs had been planted in the trunks of their cars, or somewhere in their vehicles in Los Angeles. It turned out that his clients were right. Coincidentally, at the time of this detention, Ford was just returning from an interview with a defendant at Airport Courthouse who had made these claims against officers, when this event occurred. Ford held his grounds because Ford wanted to make sure that everyone who lived in the area would come out of their homes and businesses out of curiosity to why all these police officers were stopping him. Ford wanted to make sure that these officers did not plant any drugs with all of the bystanders watching this event. Later Ford would find that this was all part of what is now known as the “Rampart Scandal” in which multiple police officers were indicted for planting drugs in defendant's cars, and extorting individuals on trumped up drug offenses involving sales of narcotics. That day changed the way Ford thought about the justice system and how it was corrupted and deliberately targeted minorities and marginalized people. Ford, the founder of C. J. Ford Private Investigations started specializing in criminal and wrongful conviction cases. Ford now manages and runs one of the largest wrongful conviction programs designed to fully investigate criminal cases. These are some of the programs objectives:
Most of Ford’s wrongful conviction cases involve Prosecutorial Misconduct, Police Misconduct, and Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel. Ford works both on State and Federal cases. Ford also works on cases where the police department has even closed, rejected, or will not pursue, Ford has lived in Orange County for most of his life. At age 64, he has seen firsthand the discrimination that can take place and the ways it surfaces in the criminal justice system, especially toward black people like himself. He has been involved with criminal justice for over thirty years, beginning as a bounty hunter recovering bail bonds, then moving on to private investigations. His most well-known case, that of Kenneth Clair has been ongoing for over ten years. Ford believes that everyone has the right to a fair trial, even if it takes years to overturn a wrongful conviction sentence. Occasionally, there are guilty inmates who approach him looking to get out of prison. One inmate convicted of kidnapping, rape, brutally beating a woman, and leaving her to die sought Ford’s services. After investigating the case, Ford found that all the evidence indicated that the man was guilty. When Ford confronted the inmate, he confessed. Ford's objective is to exonerate Wrongfully Convicted People, so you do not want to have a case fully investigated if the person is guilty. Ford has compassion for people who are wrongfully convicted and are separated from their families and friends just because Prosecutors flourish and receive promotions by the numbers of people that they convict regardless of whether or not the person is actually guilty of committing the crime. Ford believes that no matter how long it takes, a person is entitled to fight for their freedom when they are wrongfully convicted. An example of how long and hard Ford will fight is his signature case, the Kenneth Clair Case. Kenneth Clair was convicted in 1987 of the murder of Linda Faye Rodgers in Santa Ana on November 15, 1984. Ford believes that Clair is innocent. In an ongoing investigation by Ford that has taken about a decade to complete because of opposition from not only the Prosecution, but Clair’s own defense representatives, Ford found the crime scene evidence that police said was destroyed. Later Ford discovered that the DNA was secretly tested, and Mr. Clair’s DNA was not found at the crime scene. However, another parties DNA was found at the crime scene. The DA refused to release the name of the person to the defense stating outlandish claims such as the person’s DNA is not relevant, that the DNA was left by a child that was too young to have committed the murder, that the DNA was eft by someone who wasn’t in the country at the time of the murder. However, the DA could not dispute that the DNA did not belong to Clair, which was Ford’s findings. The DA decided to come up with a theory that somehow Clair committed the crime, but Clair was careful not to leave DNA. This theory is preposterous because in 1984 when the crime was committed, DNA was not a standard or proven method until about the late 1990’s. Factually, Clair would not have known that DNA could be extracted from sweat, dandruff, touching paper or other surfaces, and from other trace evidence. After Ford's findings, Ford took on one of the most prolific battles in the history of Orange County, which has never exonerated a death row inmate. The DA contention is to stall as much as possible, hoping that Clair dies in custody. Ford has expressed that the DA has no ethics or morals and would allow an innocent man to die to protect their “Win at all Cost” attitude. Also, Clair can claim about $125.00 per day for 34 years he has been incarcerated, plus treble damages because he has been held maliciously. It is because of this revelation regarding the DNA not belonging to Clair’s and these other factors, made Ford’s fight for Clair’s life. One fact was a child's statements. The child actually witnessed the crime and told police detectives that it was a white man who committed the crime. Even the lead detective reported that the witness was creditable because the child’s depiction of the stab wounds, and other instruments that was used by the killer corresponded with the coroner's report. The detective tested the child using photos of different races and the child could clearly differentiate between races. The child mysteriously never testified at the trial. The fact that the child said it was a black man, the lead detectives racial test of the child was never heard from the jury. Another factor was the Prosecution's star witness. She tried to work with the police department by wearing wires on two separate occasions to try to place Clair at the crime scene and later stated that Clair showed her some jewelry that was supposedly taken during the murder. Ford came up with overwhelming evidence and statements from the girlfriend’s care givers that was irrefutable in federal court that the girlfriend has suffered an accident that literally split her skull, and had a nearly complete memory lapse which was so severe that the girlfriend could not even remember her own mother and father. Ford’s statements from the care givers and the testimony was so powerful and conclusive that the court took it into evidence unopposed. The care giver’s statement to the appellate court that the girlfriend was in their care during that period of time, the memory loss, and the fact that the girlfriend was so sedated taking so much medication for her illness, that she could not even walk without assistance was overwhelming. However, these two witnesses were never called on by the defense at the original trial, even though the defense was aware of the concise, factual, and critical evidence that they had to offer to their client’s defense. The identity of the person whose DNA does match that found at the crime scene is yet undisclosed. Ford’s petition on change.org to the district attorney to release this evidence and, by extension, exonerate Kenneth Clair got over 160,000 signatures. Ford’s decision to make his findings public and to bring more attention to Clair’s case was deliberate. Ordinarily, the DA’s office would never have responded to Ford’s investigative result claims publicly, and for the most part, ignored every effort Ford made to have the DAs office review and exonerate a Clair. So Ford started an unprecedented attack publicly on behalf of Clair on the DA’s office. Ford made sure that Clair’s case garnered attention not only on social media but also from news outlets such as the OC Register, the OC Weekly, Reason TV, and ABC. Ford pressed the DA’s office so profusely that the DA, who completely ignored Ford, now found himself in the position of having to respond to the public criticism demanding to know why the DAs office refused to give Clair a new trial or exonerate him because of the overwhelming DNA evidence that existed. The DA’s office released a seven-part series on YouTube explaining that they are refusing to allow Kenneth Clair another trial because evidence does not support it. Ford stated, “The worst mistake that the DA could’ve made was putting out that seven-part miniseries.” Ford stated that it provided him with more leads to exonerating evidence, and other evidence that the DA did not turn over according to “Brady” law, to the defense. If Ford could retire, he says that he would become a full-time activist protesting social justice corruption, wrongful convictions, and other social injustices. However, Ford thinks that his best contribution is his investigation firm taking on wrongful convictions and criminal justice issues. |

Hello
It looks like their is an issue with the graph of Palma de Mallorca for passengers. If somebody could let me know that would be great.
I'm looking to create articles of notable people of Quebec's founding and first settlers. The problem is there are many bios relating to these people but only a few on Wikipedia. Many of these people coexisted together or around the same time and are connected through history with prominent people of the distant past and present.
The issue I am having is creating a profile that isn't similar to others when they are the same person.
All the profiles you find have the same original sources, so how do I create something that isn't going to have the same information? And as you would expect they all are very much alike. Jlastowski ( talk) 16:08, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
I was struggling with the processes of creating a biography of a person without it sounding like what others have copyrighted due to the sources for the information are the same.

Nick Moyes If I want to add a quotebox to an article and the length of the quote is just too long (nearly a paragraph), then what can I do?

Hello! I am currently cleaning up the article Road signs in the United States and I have just finished the R1-Series. I did remove some state signs due to difficulty getting them to fit in more smoothly alongside with having difficulty verifying them. Though I think I made the right choice, I would like some feedback on this because I am also new, so I may be in the wrong. Alongside with that, how exactly would I cite a pdf file? Would I use the website I got it off of or? Any feedback would assist me greatly in cleaning up the article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boilermakerjustin ( talk • contribs) 06:20, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I am new to wikipedia and I wanted to edit an existing page on my grand Mother, Marcelle Lagesse, a Mauritian writer and I wanted to know if I can write about her without having written sources? I have kept all her archives and photographs and most of her notes on her life most of which have never been published before.
Thanks,

C. J. Ford used to believe that if police apprehended someone it was because they had broken the law. That is, until one day, while driving through Torrance, an officer going in the opposite direction, did a u-turn and pulled him over. The office claimed that he pulled Ford over because of the tint on Ford’s windows. Ford told the officer that he bought the car like that, however he would make the appropriate corrections to a fix it ticket that he assumed the officer was going to write, but the officer pursued a different aspect of the detention other then a mire “fix it ticket”. The officer asked to look in the trunk of Ford’s car. Ford refused. Ford told the officer that he did not have probable cause to search his trunk. The police officer asked whether Ford was hiding something…. Ford continued to refuse several attempts by the officer to search his truck. As the officer continued to argue, within minutes there were at least 5 police cars surrounding Ford and an overhead helicopter. Some of the additional officers that arrived to turns questioning Ford as to why he would not allow them to access his car trunk, or allow them to enter into his vehicle to search it. Ford continued to resist the officers demands to search his car or his trunk, even though Ford fear level was to the extreme, but the challenge to Ford’s constitutional rights were at stake. Ford’s fears were justified because previously Ford had been contacted to investigate several cases by defendants and inmates who claimed drugs had been planted in the trunks of their cars, or somewhere in their vehicles in Los Angeles. It turned out that his clients were right. Coincidentally, at the time of this detention, Ford was just returning from an interview with a defendant at Airport Courthouse who had made these claims against officers, when this event occurred. Ford held his grounds because Ford wanted to make sure that everyone who lived in the area would come out of their homes and businesses out of curiosity to why all these police officers were stopping him. Ford wanted to make sure that these officers did not plant any drugs with all of the bystanders watching this event. Later Ford would find that this was all part of what is now known as the “Rampart Scandal” in which multiple police officers were indicted for planting drugs in defendant's cars, and extorting individuals on trumped up drug offenses involving sales of narcotics. That day changed the way Ford thought about the justice system and how it was corrupted and deliberately targeted minorities and marginalized people. Ford, the founder of C. J. Ford Private Investigations started specializing in criminal and wrongful conviction cases. Ford now manages and runs one of the largest wrongful conviction programs designed to fully investigate criminal cases. These are some of the programs objectives:
Most of Ford’s wrongful conviction cases involve Prosecutorial Misconduct, Police Misconduct, and Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel. Ford works both on State and Federal cases. Ford also works on cases where the police department has even closed, rejected, or will not pursue, Ford has lived in Orange County for most of his life. At age 64, he has seen firsthand the discrimination that can take place and the ways it surfaces in the criminal justice system, especially toward black people like himself. He has been involved with criminal justice for over thirty years, beginning as a bounty hunter recovering bail bonds, then moving on to private investigations. His most well-known case, that of Kenneth Clair has been ongoing for over ten years. Ford believes that everyone has the right to a fair trial, even if it takes years to overturn a wrongful conviction sentence. Occasionally, there are guilty inmates who approach him looking to get out of prison. One inmate convicted of kidnapping, rape, brutally beating a woman, and leaving her to die sought Ford’s services. After investigating the case, Ford found that all the evidence indicated that the man was guilty. When Ford confronted the inmate, he confessed. Ford's objective is to exonerate Wrongfully Convicted People, so you do not want to have a case fully investigated if the person is guilty. Ford has compassion for people who are wrongfully convicted and are separated from their families and friends just because Prosecutors flourish and receive promotions by the numbers of people that they convict regardless of whether or not the person is actually guilty of committing the crime. Ford believes that no matter how long it takes, a person is entitled to fight for their freedom when they are wrongfully convicted. An example of how long and hard Ford will fight is his signature case, the Kenneth Clair Case. Kenneth Clair was convicted in 1987 of the murder of Linda Faye Rodgers in Santa Ana on November 15, 1984. Ford believes that Clair is innocent. In an ongoing investigation by Ford that has taken about a decade to complete because of opposition from not only the Prosecution, but Clair’s own defense representatives, Ford found the crime scene evidence that police said was destroyed. Later Ford discovered that the DNA was secretly tested, and Mr. Clair’s DNA was not found at the crime scene. However, another parties DNA was found at the crime scene. The DA refused to release the name of the person to the defense stating outlandish claims such as the person’s DNA is not relevant, that the DNA was left by a child that was too young to have committed the murder, that the DNA was eft by someone who wasn’t in the country at the time of the murder. However, the DA could not dispute that the DNA did not belong to Clair, which was Ford’s findings. The DA decided to come up with a theory that somehow Clair committed the crime, but Clair was careful not to leave DNA. This theory is preposterous because in 1984 when the crime was committed, DNA was not a standard or proven method until about the late 1990’s. Factually, Clair would not have known that DNA could be extracted from sweat, dandruff, touching paper or other surfaces, and from other trace evidence. After Ford's findings, Ford took on one of the most prolific battles in the history of Orange County, which has never exonerated a death row inmate. The DA contention is to stall as much as possible, hoping that Clair dies in custody. Ford has expressed that the DA has no ethics or morals and would allow an innocent man to die to protect their “Win at all Cost” attitude. Also, Clair can claim about $125.00 per day for 34 years he has been incarcerated, plus treble damages because he has been held maliciously. It is because of this revelation regarding the DNA not belonging to Clair’s and these other factors, made Ford’s fight for Clair’s life. One fact was a child's statements. The child actually witnessed the crime and told police detectives that it was a white man who committed the crime. Even the lead detective reported that the witness was creditable because the child’s depiction of the stab wounds, and other instruments that was used by the killer corresponded with the coroner's report. The detective tested the child using photos of different races and the child could clearly differentiate between races. The child mysteriously never testified at the trial. The fact that the child said it was a black man, the lead detectives racial test of the child was never heard from the jury. Another factor was the Prosecution's star witness. She tried to work with the police department by wearing wires on two separate occasions to try to place Clair at the crime scene and later stated that Clair showed her some jewelry that was supposedly taken during the murder. Ford came up with overwhelming evidence and statements from the girlfriend’s care givers that was irrefutable in federal court that the girlfriend has suffered an accident that literally split her skull, and had a nearly complete memory lapse which was so severe that the girlfriend could not even remember her own mother and father. Ford’s statements from the care givers and the testimony was so powerful and conclusive that the court took it into evidence unopposed. The care giver’s statement to the appellate court that the girlfriend was in their care during that period of time, the memory loss, and the fact that the girlfriend was so sedated taking so much medication for her illness, that she could not even walk without assistance was overwhelming. However, these two witnesses were never called on by the defense at the original trial, even though the defense was aware of the concise, factual, and critical evidence that they had to offer to their client’s defense. The identity of the person whose DNA does match that found at the crime scene is yet undisclosed. Ford’s petition on change.org to the district attorney to release this evidence and, by extension, exonerate Kenneth Clair got over 160,000 signatures. Ford’s decision to make his findings public and to bring more attention to Clair’s case was deliberate. Ordinarily, the DA’s office would never have responded to Ford’s investigative result claims publicly, and for the most part, ignored every effort Ford made to have the DAs office review and exonerate a Clair. So Ford started an unprecedented attack publicly on behalf of Clair on the DA’s office. Ford made sure that Clair’s case garnered attention not only on social media but also from news outlets such as the OC Register, the OC Weekly, Reason TV, and ABC. Ford pressed the DA’s office so profusely that the DA, who completely ignored Ford, now found himself in the position of having to respond to the public criticism demanding to know why the DAs office refused to give Clair a new trial or exonerate him because of the overwhelming DNA evidence that existed. The DA’s office released a seven-part series on YouTube explaining that they are refusing to allow Kenneth Clair another trial because evidence does not support it. Ford stated, “The worst mistake that the DA could’ve made was putting out that seven-part miniseries.” Ford stated that it provided him with more leads to exonerating evidence, and other evidence that the DA did not turn over according to “Brady” law, to the defense. If Ford could retire, he says that he would become a full-time activist protesting social justice corruption, wrongful convictions, and other social injustices. However, Ford thinks that his best contribution is his investigation firm taking on wrongful convictions and criminal justice issues. |
