Is there a way to remove an article from a clean up page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by !matt2446 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Some of the Russian to English Wikipedia page have been fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by !matt2446 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
By "a clean up page" do you mean a Wikiproject page containing a list of articles that need attention? Such a page can be edited like any other. —Tamfang (talk) 03:33, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
This is a follow-up to a discussion above. This article -- Clutter family murders -- was erroneously deleted ... and then restored. See above: Wikipedia:Help desk#Clutter family murders. Before it was deleted, the article used to have quite a few redirects, directing to it. Now, after the article was restored, all of these redirects seem to be gone. Is there some quick and easy way to restore all of these redirect links? Or, how can I found out exactly what the redirect titles were, so I can recreate them all over again? Thanks. Joseph A.

Thanks. That's a good start. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Please could you remove the kingswood college page until further notice as it is being racially hated and being discriminated, it is putting a bad reputation on our school and is going viral and is trending on twitter. Please remove it, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.21.242.168 (talk) 11:04, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

@Remembertienamen1989:
Note that this simply uploads the image. To place it in an article you have to add it, or change it if there's an existing image. To do so, Edit the article and look at any existing File: link and simply match it's syntax but with the new file name. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
I'm writing a page that should be named "SNAP (programming language)". However, there is already a page called "Snap! (programming language)". It appears the system (or a user?) has created a redirect without the !, "Snap (programming language)".
I'm lost how to create a new page with the ALL CAPS name. When I try, wiki sends me to the redirect and then to Snap!. I can click back from the redir link, but that has sentence casing.

Hello! I've been working on creating a template to warn users who don't use edit summaries, because I couldn't find a template for that. But before I create this template, I was wondering if anyone knows of a template that does the same thing? It seems kind of weird there isn't already a template for this.

This section contains an incorrectly formated family tree. I don't know which template can be used to request a cleanup.--GZWDer (talk) 17:41, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
There was a very sudden wave of edits from a large number of accounts. see image. Could this be sockpuppetry? Or is it a editathon or similar --MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 18:11, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Where is this text coming from?

you should control your editors better, especially regarding alternative medicine. how many articles in this field are controlled by the Quackbust Stephen Barrett? Your articles are not just read by the Americans you know... but also many European where alternative medicine is recognized by the health system. I'm referring to articles such as that on Dr. Clark or on Bill Nelson. If you read an article and it only contains negative information from beginning to end, you should ask yourself a couple of questions, don't you thinK? ANd these articles report each the same link on "cancer methods that don't work"... really?? don't you ask yourself who's behind this, shouldn't it ring a bell?? Most people trust Wikipedia and have donate as myself because of this trust, therefore it is very disturbing that you are not more meticulous regarding certain subjects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.14.100.222 (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Is there any policy or guideline regarding the coverage of ongoing high profile criminal court proceedings? Sometimes for example there is a high profile murder case involving otherwise non-notable people in which the court proceedings are widely reported in detail by the media. I have in mind Death of Grace Millane, which is currently before the courts in NZ in all its sordid detail. Seems to me the best thing to do is wait for a verdict then summarise the prosecution and defence cases while trying to respect the privacy of the deceased and her family. I think it would be in bad taste to give a blow by blow account in the article, and nobody has done it yet... but they could, and if they did they could cite respected sources like the BBC, Guardian, NZ Herald etc. I can find nothing in wikipedia policy that would prevent anyone doing that, all we have is our sense of decency and decorum.
