My friend GEORGE HULSE, is alive and well. He is a living, breathing African-American Health Industry Executive here in New York City. Therefore, his photo should NOT be appearing on Wikipedia for the bio of George Hulse the White British actor who died in 2001. Please remove the black American Mr. Hulse's pic from the deceased white British Mr. Hulse's bio. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allendewane (talk • contribs) 01:23, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
I represent a large corporation in a marketing capacity. Recently, my contact at this company asked about what could be done to get them referenced on Wikipedia. I contacted a company that focuses on writing articles for Wikipedia and they said that the only way a company can receive a dedicated Wikipedia entry is by providing examples of how this company has received dedicated exposure in the past - not through press releases or other self promotional means, but by exposure in a major publication that was not obviously instigated by the company itself.
I searched and found several articles about this company on different mediums, with a few referencing my client right in the headline, but the third-party Wikipedia editing company said it wasn't enough.
I'm confused because when I do searches for other companies on Wikipedia, I find several that don't have strong - or any - references. At least there are not references I can see.
For instance, I did a search on a local attraction called Bonanzaville and the following Wikipedia page came up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonanzaville,_USA
There doesn't seem to be any references that led to the establishment of this page, and there's a notation that this page is a "stub." I'm guessing that means it won't get a major writeup. So that leads me to the question, if my company doesn't have the right references for a comprehensive writeup, would I be able to establish a "stub" page?
Appreciate the help anyone can provide.

Is it possible to include the actual Arctic portal icon – instead of the default portal icon – in the footer of the above template?--Hildeoc (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
How do I submit the following info? Seems like there should be a clear link to submit such feedback, but I couldn't find it quickly. How do I submit the following?...
The Yellow Jacket article contains conflicting info: one sentence says the queen lives through the winter, and a few sentences later it says the queen dies in the autumn: "Yellowjackets are social hunters living in colonies containing workers, queens, and males (drones). Colonies are annual with only inseminated queens overwintering." …"From this time until her death in the autumn, the queen remains inside the nest, laying eggs."— Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.211.84 (talk)
I've been editing the HP Saturn CPU article and another editor insists that the following Wikitable be present, where'd I'd use an SVG file instead if it were my choice :
Bits | 63-60 | 59-56 | 55-52 | 51-48 | 47-44 | 43-40 | 39-36 | 35-32 | 31-28 | 27-24 | 23-20 | 19-16 | 15-12 | 11-8 | 7-4 | 3-0 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nibble | F | E | D | C | B | A | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
Fields | XS | B | |||||||||||||||
A | |||||||||||||||||
S | M | X | |||||||||||||||
W | |||||||||||||||||
P=0 | P | ||||||||||||||||
P=7 | WP |
The problem is that I'd like to get rid of the the blank table cells in the column that contains the "P = 0" and "P = 7" table cells and merge them into the dark grey background.
In an SVG editor this is trivial, but I'm not very well versed in wiki markup and I have been tearing my hair out about how to get rid of the above empty cells.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The list of 21st-century earthquakes is far too long and should I think be split into list of earthquakes 2001–2010 and list of earthquakes 2011–2020. I suggested this back in August last year on the article talk page and I commented again recently in the same section to announce my intent. There has been no response in the nine months since my initial suggestion, so I'm planning on being bold and just splitting the article. Splitting the content is trivial, but there are some issues concerning practicalities:
I've read WP:SPLITTING, but it doesn't really address this kind of split. Mikenorton (talk) 15:54, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
