Need help with this page and a person who is obviously edit warring and vandalizing it with false information. Check the revision history, this is a competitor and false information. How do we get it resolved?

Hi, CJ Hopkins, subject of one of your pages here ... writing to request that someone objective review my page, "CJ Hopkins". It appears that one of your editors (Grayfell) had an argument with one of my readers who was trying to insert a quote from one of my pieces on the "Identity Politics" page, which led Grayfell to passive aggressively edit "CJ Hopkins". This is petty and childish. I appreciate having a Wikipedia page, but I would hope that Wikipedia is not a platform for its editors to pursue their personal grievances at other's expense. At the moment, "CJ hopkins" bears a notice suggesting that it was created or extensively edited by me. It was not. I have made minor revisions over the years, but I did not create the page, nor have I extensively edited it. Please review the page and correct this misrepresentation. Thank you in advance, CJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.246.197 (talk) 08:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

I have been waiting a few months for review of a new page that i wish to publish. Status says that it can take 8 weeks or more and it has been almost 4 months now it is also saying it is a redirect page - what does this mean? Please help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidia.obseva (talk • contribs) 10:12, 1 November 2019 (UTC) I have been waiting 4 months. Is this normal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidia.obseva (talk • contribs) 10:13, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
If I post an article about myself, will it stand, or will it be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.151.192 (talk) 11:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
1. Can I link to another section in the same Wikipedia article? That is, if I have a section titled "Washington Nationals baseball team" can I have a hyperlink earlier in the same article that says "Washington Nationals" that links to the section I mentioned that exists in the same article? I have read your page on linking but it seems to generally apply to linking between Wikipedia articles not so much having links that direct you to content within the same article.
2. My second question is whether the table of contents sections within a Wikipedia article that allows people to navigate to specific sections within the same article are created by Wikipedia or by people who are editing the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.85.157.17 (talk) 15:30, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, CJ Hopkins again ... apparently, requesting that someone objective review the CJ Hopkins page was a mistake on my part.
Your editors seem to be going to town on the page, with a vengeance. They have now revised the lead paragraph to make it suggest that my plays, or "I" have somehow "appeared" in various online publications (where my political satire and commentary, not my plays, has appeared), which makes no sense. ("CJ Hopkins is an American playwright, novelist, and political satirist. He has appeared in ColdType, The Unz Review, OffGuardian, CounterPunch and other publications.")
In fact, my plays have been produced and have toured (yes, there is a difference), internationally, not "globally," as is clearly referenced in the press articles cited on the page, and as was clear on the page until your editors starting aggressively deleting copy. Perhaps an editor with basic knowledge of the theater, and without an axe to grind, could have a look the CJ Hopkins page.
And maybe someone could add a separate paragraph about my political satire and commentary, and connect the references to those publications to that paragraph.
Many thanks in advance, and all best wishes ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.246.197 (talk) 16:08, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

I have started writing my user profile in Wikipedia in the 3rd person. I haven't published it yet because I want to be sure I’m doing this correctly and I see some other profiles of people where it seems like they’re not following the rules. I checked out one profile where this note appears.
This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. Please help improve it by removing promotional content and inappropriate external links, and by adding encyclopedic content written from a neutral point of view. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The person had almost every link going to another page on wikipedia with a few exceptions.
A lot of the information in my initial draft has statements I can’t fully prove by outside links. For example, I have a full page profile in the NY Times in 1993. The NY Times doesn’t have my name when I search but I have a pdf copy of the actual article on my website. I have opened as a comedian for many people who went on to become famous. I have no way to prove this but it’s the truth. I have written for a number of publications but most are from a long time ago. I have performed for a lot of top companies. I have testimonials letters from some of them and even videos from some of them but can’t find anything on their websites to show I did this. (some are up to 30 years ago) I performed above the NY Stock Exchange. I have a pdf with a photo of this but again, no other proof. So I was wondering what I should do? If I take out everything that I don’t have outside links from the original companies, shows, etc, my bio will be very very short. On the other hand, if I leave them in and link to videos or pdfs that prove what I did in some cases but link back to Wikipedia as I’ve seen other people do, what affect does that have on my profile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HarryDFreedman (talk • contribs) 19:05, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
I would really like to see a feature that allows for bookmarking, or creating a reading list, similar maybe to YouTubes "Watch Later" feature. How do I formally propose this feature, or support a similar extant proposal?
And, more generally, is there a place for GUI or user experience suggestions? All my searches for 'improve Wikipedia', etc, return content from articles -- not about improving the webpage or user interface.
Thank you.--Kalamanci (talk) 20:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
