Hi, I want to ask how much text can we quote? [Like X person said "...........".] How much text are we allowed to quote from what a person said?-- SharabSalam ( talk) 18:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
I seem to have been noticing the letter "m" with nothing else at the top of page histories. I was going to ask what this meant, but have now discovered that it indicates a minor edit. Assuming I've correctly perceived that nothing else is there (I'll be checking on this), does this mean that I don't have to enter an edit summary if I mark my edit as minor? Or are editors who do this remiss and should enter an edit summary as well? Thanks. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 19:00, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello. From what I am reading, it seems like if a logo for a business is uploaded with the permission of the owner, there are no restrictions on re-use. Doesn't this mean that anything (for example the Nike Logo or a a famous picture of a celebrity) that is on Wikipedia can just be used by anyone, anywhere, legally? I find this hard to believe.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertgomez87 ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

As we've driven across the U.S. multiple times it has occurred to us that there is no easy way to identify public rest stops along the major interstate highways. We use the wiki mobile app along our routes the navigator of our car reads out points of interest along the highway. I'd like to see if there is any interest in creating a series of pages along major Highways that have a standard template of features and links.
Users of the mobile app would be able to see these major points of public interest.
It would be nice if someone could click between these public rest stops along the major Interstate routes. Here is an example of a website that could be used as a source.
Interstate 20 Highway rest stops
Any interest?

I have created my first draft in wikipedia and i need a clarification about the notability source. Do the pages or sources we are linking need a clear mention about the topic i am talking about or just a reference would be enough?

Hello, I am a rabbit vet trying to update the page on myxomatosis by adding a section on North America. There are currently sections on Ireland, Australia, France, Britian, and New Zealand. However my content (though perfectly accurate) was removed and I received an email saying that North America didn't deserve a special mention. This makes no sense, my patients are dying from this disease and situation is very different here than in Europe and Australia for multiple reasons. How do I respond to this person? He threatens to block me if I add the section back in. I wrote back in the same window but got no reply. Below is the conversation:
Your edits to Myxomatosis Welcome and thanks for your recent contributions to the myxamotosis article. However, you shouldn't just revert the contributions of other editorsto your preferred verison. Nor should you make edits without reading the article. You have done this in your latest edits, and as a result you have duplicated large amounts of information. There are a few Wikipedia policies you should familiarise yourself with. The most important are WP:BRD and WP:3RR. In short form, when you make an edit and someone removes it, don't just reinstate it. Instead, start a discussion on the article talk page. If you reinstate the material more than three times, you will be blocked from editing. As far as your actual edits, they are good, but this is a global English encyclopaedia, not a US encylopaedia. See WP:GLOBAL. The US isn't exceptional and doesn't deserve special mention just for being the US. As a general rule of thumb, if the article couldn't handle material of the same level of detail for all 120 odd nations on the planet, don't add it for the US. IOW, this article clearly wouldn't be readable if we had hundreds of words on the disease in Canada, Mexico, Slovakia, Fiji etc. So unless there is something highly notable about the US, please don't create a US specific section. We have sections on Australia in this article because it is commonly and notably held up as a globally relevant example of succesful biological control. The treatment and spread of the disease in US domestic/feral rabbits isn't particularly differrent from anywhere else on the planet and so isn't obviously notable. That the disease is native to the US is notable and has been retained in the appropriate parts of the article. Thanks for yourcontributions, keep up the good work, but please familiarise yourself with the rules of Wikipedia to avoid irritating other contributors andpotentially being nlocked from editingMark Marathon (talk) 23:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Mark, Sorry if I am a bit clumsy with editing, this is the first time I have tried it. I was in the middle of clarifying some points, and got called away for an hour. I see now that I should not do editing on the live site, but on a word document on by computer so that I can insert the finished product all at once. I am a veterinarian that works with rabbits. My patients are currently dying from this disease. I was trying to add a section on North America because no one here knows about the disease. It has gotten so much more press in Australia and England! I am certainly not trying to remove content, just add to it. But in reorganizing it I have incurred your wrath I see. Why can I not add a section on North America? There already exists sections on Australia, New Zealand, England, France, and Ireland. Are we not worthy? I did not put it under the "population control' heading because the disease here is endemic. Please respond. I do want to add a section on North America, but don't want to be blocked by you.

On a disambiguation page, it is possible to add an item that does not have its own article, within WP policy? I recently had an edit reverted because there was no article to link to, correctly I think; I then made an addition to a main article first, which was OK. Now, I would like to similarly add a usage to a dab page where again there is no main article. Specifically, I would like to add culinary usage to Gigot, see Talk:Gigot. How strict is the WP policy on requiring a main article to link to on a dab page? Would a reference in the body of an existing article do?

Hi, I am starting a researched-based club at school and would like to talk to someone with experience on Wikipedia. Is there anyone I could talk to who could answer some questions for me and my club? Owenwitt ( talk) 14:16, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Owenwitt
I've create an article called AirAttack 2 and tagged with review to be encyclopedic page. But the page still isn't appeared as encyclopedia. For example when I search it, it doesn't exist online. What the matter? I want to haste the article to be posted in encyclopedia, not only to the project. How Life Changed ( talk) 16:35, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I've created an article and a few users have edited it. I'd like to "publish" it in Wikipedia so that it will show up in searches, but I can't figure out how to do that.

OK so I started writing an article in myspace which I think is needed about dimethylol propionic acid - it is here
/info/en/?search=User:GRALISTAIR/Dimethylol_propionic_acid this was after I searched and searched Wikipedia and the article did not exist.
On further inspection there is Wikidata for this molecule and an article in German
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27260246
Should I finish the article in English - or is it beeter to try and get a translation of the German page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GRALISTAIR ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps add reference to M. R. James' "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas" in dealing with solution of cryptograms for finding buried treasure. You have done very good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3dnomyar ( talk • contribs) 20:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Someone I know paid $900 to a company that says can write an article for him and his company. After paying everything they are now saying that the sources are not enough for Wikipedia to approve the article. They only wrote 20 short sentences on him and sent him a link to the article for him to approve.
How does it work? How many sources are accepted by Wikipedia and how do we know that those people are even legit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dedillo1$ ( talk • contribs) 16:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm looking for a way to make the text appear color-coded for the various markups, like it does in source editing, on page version comparison. It would make finding the ends of references (and thus resumption of article text) much easier, (especially ones with long titles).
Any advice or preferences or tools for this? Thanks! Cheers~ Elfabet ( talk) 19:45, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
