BTW: from the little corner from which I see reality, I can't see how to continue a thread, even though I see other people doing it. Great! This is exactly what I need.
I have a few more questions. Let me explain first the background of what I have in mind in order to make my objectives a bit clearer. I research on semiotics/corpora and one of the aspects that interest me about communication is its multimodality and as part of its multimodality, people's "finger" (the patterns that people display as they communicate (during WWI individuals operating telegraphs could be fully reliably identified by their keying patterns, about which they were not even conscious)). Using as example the wikipedia page about semiotics:
You get the back and forths of users as they edit the page from
and the archives:
So, I need snapshots of: 1) wikipedia pages 2) Talks (current and archived ones) 3) their history (which you could stratify from §2 anyway) I was checking out the dumps and I am having a hard time making sense of them. Writing some script to hit wikipedia millions of times doesn't make any sense either. Any idea about how could I get wikipedia sources in a relatively sane and sensical way?

Hi all,
Is there an easy way to summon bots to a page I'm working on, to clean up things like unit conversions and merging references?

Hello,
My name is Nicoleta and my wiki username is Nicoleta 1992.
I am getting in touch with you here since I have created an article called Those Who Inspire Ltd that has been deleted.
It is my first time creating an article on wikipedia. I am not paid, I am only a fan of this organisation. Therefore, I have uploaded the article and different Wiki contributors have started to write on my talk page saying that the article is promotional (I have asked many times in what regards and I never got an answer), one of them deleted the article, and one of them alleges that I am paid to write this article because they found me on a freelancer website that I have never used.
I would kindly like to know how does it work more precisely and why the article is considered promotional, what can I do to create an article on Wikipedia that can be accepted?
Thank you.

Hi there,
We have a page on wikipedia which we have noticed has some incorrect information present. We are aware that updating this information first hand may cause issues due to it being biased, however the information on the page is actually incorrect and needs to be updated.
Please could you advise the best alternative for this to ensure any changes made by us will not be removed by Wikipedia.

If he is 64 he would have graduated HS in June 1972 at earliest. At that time there were fewer than 25,000 US troops in country VN. Even if he went to boot camp right out of HZ he would not have graduated until late August or early September, then 8-10 weeks of AIT training plus a couple of weeks of leave easily puts him in-country in early 1973. By then there were only 50 US troops there, all of them were Embassy guards (Marines). He is lying about his service and Wiki should ask for his proof of service (DD214) otherwise it is another case of Stolen Valor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.155.84.158 (talk) 15:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
To Whom it may concern,
I have been trying to add basic information regarding LASEK laser eye surgery. The page keeps getting deleted and I don't understand why. The information is informative and helpful to people considering this treatment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamara Drover (talk • contribs) 17:35, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
To Whom it may concern,
I don't understand why my edits are being deleted. Where can I post information about the LASEK treatment? Can I start a new page rather than edit this one, if so how?

I thought I followed the correct procedure to submit an article "Field Precision LLC", but I have had no acknowledgement and it does not appear when I type it in the Wikipedia search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snegtrail (talk • contribs) 19:53, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
