Hello,
I'm working on this page: /info/en/?search=Peter_Alston and I'm not sure how to handle the references. Refs 1 and 4, and 3 and 5, are to the same books but different page numbers. Is there a more elegant way of handling this than to repeat all the reference information in both listings? It doesn't matter for this one since the reference list is so short but I'd like to know best practice. Many thanks! Logophile59 ( talk) 01:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Dear facilitators of this teahouse, An article in Dutch ‘Pakhuizen Medan, Bindjeij en Laboean’ was translated into English for review wrt ‘User:Paul bohte/Warehouses Medan, Bindjeij and Laboean’. I would welcome your help/advice very much how to get it published AND linked to the original Dutch article so the article will be available available in 2 languages. I do not understand either why the original pictures were not tranfered from the Dutch version into the English draft. I am really sorry that I am a starter and need therefore your clear directives and support. Regard -- Paul bohte ( talk) 09:22, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I have submitted two articles in recent days about a person called Zeeshaan Shah. Both have been speedily deleted. I can understand the reason for the first article's deletion (I think) but the second article is no different in style and content to thousands of others on Wikipedia. It tells the story of a successful businessman. This article was deleted by IanDBeacon and I would greatly appreciate feedback from him or anyone else about the reasons for his actions. I need this feedback so I can make a contribution which will not be deleted in future.

Hello. I just joined about an hour ago or so, finally deciding to contribute, and I clicked on the Recent Changes for the games wiki and this is what I see.
https://dieyoungwiki.indiegala.com/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&limit=50&days=14&enhanced=1&urlversion=2
Now my question is, what exactly am I seeing? To what would seem like common sense to someone with no experience here(me), it seems like massive amounts unrelated nonsense and talking about things that could be seen as impersonation of specific people(namely the indiegala development team, as one of the pages tries to appear as a series of introductions by the developers and is obviously erroneous just from reading it), some are arguably obscene(talking about sex toys somewhat-its incoherent sentences), but all of them almost(the recent ones) are not fit for being on the games wiki. I would guess a lot of it was auto-generated text. Theres even some plaguerism so it seems like a whole grab bag of violations.
to summarize, in ref to the link above, is this flood of erroneous entries something I can or should try to do something about, and if so, what would be the best course of action? thank you for reading/helping.

Relevant page: /info/en/?search=To_Love-Ru. The official English title of the series has always been To Love Ru. This is true for both the anime and the manga. It has NEVER used the hyphen between "Love" and "Ru", so I wanted to change its page to reflect that. I was stopped by the system, though, because apparently the page is a common victim of vandalism, which is understandable. It then sent me here to submit a request, so here I am.

Thanks for your quick response. So I had seen the talk page, but no one had used it in multiple years, so I didn't know if that would actually be helpful. I have added my position to it now, though, as instructed, in hopes that it does lead to some consensus. Additionally, to respond to your point about many references calling it "To Love-Ru" with the hyphen: yes, while the many of the references do refer to it as "To Love-Ru", they're all outdated. I counted, and of the 35 references, 23 refer to the series as "To Love-Ru". However, the source for 15 of these 23 references is Anime News Network, and if you go to ANN's current page for To Love Ru ( https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=7949), guess what they call it?: "To Love Ru" without the hyphen. They didn't go back and retroactively change all of their headlines, but ANN has certainly accepted the official English title. The same can be said for another respectable anime site: Crunchyroll. While only 2/35 references are from there, it's one of the biggest anime sites out there, and if you go to Crunchyroll's current page for To Love Ru Darkness ( https://www.crunchyroll.com/to-love-ru-darkness), it also no longer uses the hyphen in the title. Another 4 references are actually Japanese articles (which, just for reference, don't use the hyphen either) that have translated titles, so the person who entered them as references at the time simply inserted the hyphen themselves. The last 2 of 35 entries which still would support using the hyphen are 1 each from blogs THEM Anime Reviews and Siliconera, and not to knock the 2 blogs, but they can hardly be considered official sources when it comes to names. Is that a convincing enough argument? Should I add that to my talk page post?
Also, it's probably obvious by my previous lack of a signature, but I'm quite new at Wikipedia, so I don't fully understand everything. On said talk page, there are multiple threads that are just completely irrelevant now because time has passed or because the page went on to be edited (not by me) in such a way that the conservation just doesn't matter anymore. I was reading Wikipedia's talk page guide, but I still don't fully understand. Is the only way for these threads to eventually be erased to request they be closed and wait for an "uninvolved editor or admin", or is there some way I can just delete them because they are objectively no longer relevant? Thanks for your help so far. -- SUPER7X ( talk) 08:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

I have looked at the Administrative Page, as well as the "Disruptive Editing" page, and can't quite figure out where to go. We have an editor disregarding discussion, doing Original Research, making massive edits and undoing attempts to correct hi/her mistakes. Editors have tried to get him/her to participate on the subject Talk Page, and I have posted on the editor's personal Talk Page; but the behavior continues unabated, with no regard for other editors or Wikipedia policy regarding sources. To whom do I go now to rein this person in, either by suspension or banning (assuming persuasion continues to be of no avail). Thanks.-- Daveler16 ( talk) 02:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I have visited the Sici Hollow park many times.
This is the correct spelling, "Sici" - and all of the park signs, produced by the State of South Dakota, use this spelling (not the alternative spelling of "Sieche" -- although this spelling helps with the pronunciation). Jean Nicollet , when he visited, determined, and from his map of the area, that the Minnesota River source began from this park area. He also used the spelling, "Sici." Samuel Brown, son of Joseph R. Brown and Susan Freniere Brown, was born at this significant location.

Hi there,
I've never changed anything on Wikipedia before and recently I tried to tidy up and bulk up the Aylesford Priory page. I do work for the company and I did quite a bit of editing. I have noticed now that lots of it has been taken back off including all of the extra pitcures and writing I did. Could you please help me understand what I have done wrong please so I can sort it for the future.

"Is there upcoming news?"? I do not understand what you are wanting to achieve. If you made all three of these edits (two from an IP address) then you appear to have correctly requested an edit change to the page on Hezbollah. You will now have to wait for that source to be assessed and a judgement made as to whether its contents are relevant to the article. I apologise for not being able to help you much more than that.

I haven't logged into Wikipedia in so long I'm not 100% sure what my username is any more. I tried the most likely one but it said the password didn't match. So I asked it for a password reset and when I entered the username and my email address it reported "There is no email address recorded for user...". So I figured I might as well just create a new account using that username since it clearly doesn't exist yet, but when I tried to do so it told me "Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name".
How can the username already be in use but have no email address recorded for it?

Michael

We have an editor disregarding discussion, doing Original Research, making massive edits and undoing attempts to correct hi/her mistakes. Editors have tried to get him/her to participate on the subject Talk Page, and I have posted on the editor's personal Talk Page; but the behavior continues unabated, with no regard for other editors or Wikipedia policy regarding sources. To whom do I go now to rein this person in, either by suspension or banning (assuming persuasion continues to be of no avail). Thanks.-- Daveler16 ( talk) 02:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I have visited the Sici Hollow park many times.
This is the correct spelling, "Sici" - and all of the park signs, produced by the State of South Dakota, use this spelling (not the alternative spelling of "Sieche" -- although this spelling helps with the pronunciation). Jean Nicollet , when he visited, determined, and from his map of the area, that the Minnesota River source began from this park area. He also used the spelling, "Sici." Samuel Brown, son of Joseph R. Brown and Susan Freniere Brown, was born at this significant location.

Hi there,
I've never changed anything on Wikipedia before and recently I tried to tidy up and bulk up the Aylesford Priory page. I do work for the company and I did quite a bit of editing. I have noticed now that lots of it has been taken back off including all of the extra pitcures and writing I did. Could you please help me understand what I have done wrong please so I can sort it for the future.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I have had an article rejected. How do I find where it is so that I can make changes? Also, it was rejected for PROMO reasons so is there any way I can get advice on what parts to remove/tone down?
Thanks

Hello!
I am new here and working on finding pages that I can help improve. Is there a way to find pages that need corrections quickly? Or should I just continue to browse around pages I am interested in until I find something that I can edit?

(cont) 18:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)Is there an official WP policy on the proper generic name for the native peoples of America? Besides "Indian", I have seen native, native american, amerindian and others. I ask because I reverted a change today where someone substituted "Native" for "Indian" because it broke a link, but it started me wondering. ubiquity ( talk) 15:12, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
I have found an article that uses an opponent's somewhat disparaging term, rather than some neutral term. Should I tell people on the talk page, and then rename the article? PhilLiberty ( talk) 20:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi all from the Argentine, is there on here a section for upcoming news like on the Spanish Wiki? Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CoryGlee ( talk • contribs) 21:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
@ Nick Moyes: and @ RudolfRed: thanks both yours Sirs for welcoming me you're welcome in the Spanish Wiki. I mean, Mike Pompeo will arrive in Argentina in June 19 and there will be a important joint declaration regarding Iran and Hezbollah. Is there upcoming news? Hope to be clear.— Preceding unsigned comment added by CoryGlee ( talk • contribs)
"Is there upcoming news?"? I do not understand what you are wanting to achieve. If you made all three of these edits (two from an IP address) then you appear to have correctly requested an edit change to the page on Hezbollah. You will now have to wait for that source to be assessed and a judgement made as to whether its contents are relevant to the article. I apologise for not being able to help you much more than that.

I haven't logged into Wikipedia in so long I'm not 100% sure what my username is any more. I tried the most likely one but it said the password didn't match. So I asked it for a password reset and when I entered the username and my email address it reported "There is no email address recorded for user...". So I figured I might as well just create a new account using that username since it clearly doesn't exist yet, but when I tried to do so it told me "Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name".
How can the username already be in use but have no email address recorded for it?
Regards,
Michael

How to edit/correct the title of the page/article ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanmay Subhedar ( talk • contribs) 09:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello, could the volunteers kindly assist the editor who has posted a request for help at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#WP:REFUND? Over at the Ref Desk we are better at finding sources than other kinds of help, but it seems the new editor already has sources, so I am not sure what next steps they need to take. Hopefully one of you can come over and show them what's next. Thank you kindly. 70.67.193.176 ( talk) 15:27, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
