Hi, A month ago I posted a question on a talk page (Talk:Elizabeth II#Issue) seeking feedback on a change I would like to make. As it may be contentious I am seeking input before I make a 'bold' edit. Is there a way to draw attention to the question so I can get more input/advice? Thanks in advance for any help.

Many thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Melbourne3163 (talk) 01:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
The mention of current king of Nepal and greater Nepal is not the Mahendra Chand of Kumaun but the King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah of Nepal, who belong to the Shah dynasty of Nepal. Please rectify it.

I would like to delete the wiki page i created Babasaras, and don't find any option to delete this page and start a new one. I would like to create a new page with a similar name of Babasaras. Is this possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babasaras psswd meherbaba (talk • contribs) 13:53, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Indian National Congress (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
In Wikipedia it is stated that INC was founded in 1858 and INC was formed by Indira Gandhi in 1967. The INC(O) whioch was a continuity of original congress was in existence till 1977 and was merged in Janata Party (Sri.Morarji Desai was PM). Hence, the date/year of founding of INC should be changed to 1967 (with exact date and month). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.222.96.229 (talk) 14:43, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Pueraria mirifica (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Changes I made to an article which included an extensive review of literature and citations were rejected by (presumably) a moderator and the previous article - which contained both inaccuracies and is in my opinion inadequate in addressing the subject - was reinstated. The reason cited was that my changes were biased and promotional in nature, charges which I object to.
In making the changes in fact was carefully trying to correct bias in the previous article - now reinstated - (which includes on one case selectively using source material to appear to support a particular viewpoint not in keeping with the intent of the source material).
This is a topic within the broad area of alternative/traditional therapies and it does attract a degree of emotion and challenge to the established belief systems of people at both ends of the spectrum. However it is critical that articles on such subjects are objective and fact-based and this cannot be the case if a moderator censors an article with over 30 different, credible citations relating to research undertaken over the past 20 years in many parts of the world that indicate (not prove) there is more to this topic than some people with entrenched views would like to admit.
I have not shown the page/URL referred to however will obviously do so when requested.
How do I go about seeking an independent review of this matter?
