Greetings,
My boss's Wikipedia page has a sabotour; every time we try to update it with new information and accomplishments the sabotour re-edits it within days back to the original entry. This has been going on for years.... this sabotour is very committed! Apart from re-entering the entire update every three days is there a way for us to reset our new entry after the sabotour strikes... like a previous edit reset button? Surely if the sabotour is doing this than we can too.
Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auspicious kitten (talk • contribs) 06:45, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
How do I start a new portal? I would like to start a portal called antisemitism.--Rævhuld (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Someone has wrongly put some information on my client Simona Caparrini which are inaccurate and wrong. Simona is born in 1972 and please keep this reference. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielamoviement (talk • contribs) 14:46, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi,
We tried to update our page a while ago and the entire thing got deleted. The page was Renegade Craft Fair and it had the entire history of our company on it! Wondering if this original copy might exist somewhere in the wiki-sphere or if we need to start over and build it from scratch.
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ar Sea Eff (talk • contribs) 16:18, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
I was walking the rounds at Recent Changes and came across two drafts that have been submitted to Articles for Creation and are currently awaiting review: [1] and [2]. I'm not an AfC reviewer, but I understand there is a significant backlog, and I don't feel these types of submissions are doing any good. Would it be acceptable to nominate these for speedy deletion? –FlyingAce✈hello 16:37, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
I am frustrated as I attempt to pronounce various words from the pronunciation guides provided in articles. (I am one who strives to use accurate pronunciations. I speak four languages, know phrases in several others, and read several languages, studied biblical Greek and learned to use IPA in broadcasting from university days.)
I have spent a couple of hours today searching for pronunciation symbols both in Wiki and other locations plus the time writing this. I have searched numerous Wiki articles for guidance:
I have gone to several other websites for guidance:
PROBLEM IN PARTICULAR: I open the article Ahasuerus WHERE IS A LISTING OF THE PRONUNCIATION SYMBOLS USED? Examples: Aẖashverosh; ʼĂḥašwērôš; Xšayārša Letters: How to pronounce: "ẖ", "ḥ" or "ô"? I remember long and short symbols for vowels (Ă, ā, ē), but I can't find how to use this in consonants (š). I'm familiar with the rough breather/smooth breather marks (ʽ/ʼ or Greek: daseîa pneûma/psilòn pneûma) before a letter but I see nothing noting how the asperative is used (ʼĂ) in any pronouncing guide for ʼĂḥašwērôš, unless I specifically open up your articles "Rough Breathing" or "Smooth Breathing." Although, I do get a hint by the reading: "(Hebrew: אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ, Aẖashverosh; ʼĂḥašwērôš)", but not for "(cf. Old Persian: Xšayārša; Persian: اخشورش Axšoreš;)" Please correct me in what I have been unable to find or find easily.
BOTTOM LINE: HOW EXACTLY DO I PRONOUNCE: Xšayārša, from the old Persian?
P.S. I didn't login and write this under my user name cosmos1745 because I have lost my password. 2602:301:77BB:290:F15D:A401:338A:6072 (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC) cosmos1745

Hi I'm a little lost ... I posted a question in the "teahouse" weeks ago asking for the correct way to start a page on a specific topic but I can't figure out how to find my question again or if anyone ever answered it. I'm not even sure how i get an answer to this question. Do I get a notification? Thanks in advance if anyone can help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MDMathews (talk • contribs) 22:42, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
My question was accepted several weeks ago in the teahouse, I even saw it posted at the bottom. Strange there is no record, I only use this one login name. I just posted it there again, and was accepted. Hopefully this time it will stay. THank you.
