What's the proper way to report someone embedding spam in an edit summary?--NapoliRoma (talk) 03:23, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
My article for Amir Bageria was approved a little over a week ago. I'm aware that it takes some time for the article to sync up with the existing knowledge panel. However, usually when articles are approved, they start showing up in results. Even if I type 'amir bageria wikipedia' into google, nothing comes up except articles he is simply mentioned in.
In addition, I'm having trouble correcting the information on the Odessa A'zion knowledge panel - currently it shows up like A'Zion but the Z is meant to be lower case.
Thank you and sorry if this is the wrong place for this or if I'm just being impatient. - Starklinson (talk) 4:30 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi
I'm working on a number of articles related to solar power plants and other renewable energy infrastructure projects. One thing that I would really like to include in the infobox is a list of funders of each project, both investors and banks who loan money to the project, however for most infoboxes for infrastructure there are no fields to show this. I know in some articles a second infobox is added on specific aspects, is there an infobox that I could use to show things like investment and loans to a project, total project cost etc?
Thanks very much

Hello,
I’m contacting you due to being both repeatedly targeted and falsely banned by a factual troll who’s been endlessly vandalizing, reverting and deleting literally anything positive to do with a figure named “Vince Russo” on any page.
The pathetic troll in question is “Dory Funk”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dory_Funk
This troll has been continuously deleting all positive edits related to Russo for months now. Most recently he deleted a factually sourced quote on the “Retribution (professional wrestling)” article without reason and then banned me when I added it back in, despite the fact that I wasn’t even the user who originally added it. I also just looked at the “WWF Brawl for All” article which had a series of positive Russo quotes that were added all the way back in April, and yet they were all just deleted by this “Dory Funk” loser without logical reason yet again, all despite the fact that these quotes were worthy of being there without ever being deleted by anyone else for 6 entire months. This ridiculous troll has an incredibly pathetic, biased agenda against anything Vince Russo related, as well as me personally since this spiteful, no-life man-child is so embarrassingly obsessed with trolling anything “Vince Russo” related. The fact that i’ve done nothing but make factually helpful ANTI-TROLL edits the entire time and yet this sad loser continues to stalk, target, and get my factually helpful edits reverted and my I.P. address falsely banned without valid reason is proof that his embarrassingly biased trolling needs to be put to a permanent end.
So to sum up, can you please help with this long-term issue of repeated pathetic trolling and completely unjustified banning of my I.P. address?

It's not tied to just a single page like Vince Russo. As I already proved, a quote from Russo was added to the “Retribution (professional wrestling)” article and was then deleted for literally zero reason by "Dory Funk", how is that not vandalism??? And what about the quote on the "WWF Brawl for All" page which has a direct link to the youtube video featuring Russo himself saying the exact quote, that getting deleted without reason after 6 months isn't vandalism??? And it doesn't remotely matter whether he has I.P. banning power or not, he knows how to instantly report me to actual mods using his nonsense "block evasion" or "sockpuppet" excuse when the only reason I have to resort to use a new I.P. address is because of a pathetic troll ridiculously reporting me for making factual helpful edits while HE continues to ACTUALLY TROLL non-stop. What more inarguable facts do you need??? F0-YPLT (talk) 14:22, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Some of the edits were done by me because I was attempting to add factually true information with constructive edits, does it make a difference whether it was done by me or someone else? Regardless, I can confirm I never added the original Russo quote made on the "Retribution (professional wrestling)" page. And yet you can clearly see from the link below that "Dory Funk" deleted the Russo quote while ridiculously claiming "Removed banned sources", despite the fact that both article quotes he deleted aren't from writers listed on any list of banned sources.
It's all just such obvious, biased trolling. F0-YPLT (talk) 15:11, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Literally everything i've said when using the words "inarguable", "biased", and "troll" are all factually true, that's why I used them. Based on every example i've showcased of this users actions please tell me one instant where they didn't objectively prove to be an inarguably biased troll. F0-YPLT (talk) 19:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm also still waiting to be told why the "Vince Russo & Disco Inferno" quotes were rightfully deleted from the "Retribution" page. How's that "removed banned sources" nonsense holding up? F0-YPLT (talk) 19:44, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
OP has been indef-blocked for Block evasion, personal attacks. —teb728 t c 20:52, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm the one being attacked and accused. The OP has already been blocked as User:R.Gadona and innumerable Sky IPs[1][2][3][4] (as you can see, I'm far from his only abuse target). In this edit summary he flaunted his socking and vowed to return under yet another IP.[5]
The user's MO is to promote wrestling writer Vince Russo (routinely introducing unreliable sources to do so), blank any content in which Russo is questioned or criticised, and personally attack everyone who challenges him. His complaint here is unfounded, and is just his latest attempt to slander a user whose goal to better the encyclopedia clashes with his goal of WP:PUFFING the image of a writer, at any cost to the project. Cheers. Dory Funk (talk) 14:58, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
I wrote this question, but no answer yet. I wrote in a wrong page? --2001:B07:6442:8903:E5E7:476D:EBEA:7E7 (talk) 14:27, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

My mother, Tavonya S. Miner, was the first African American woman graduate of the U.S. Navy "Seaman to Admiral" Program in September 1995 but I don't see her listed on your timeline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navychick (talk • contribs) 15:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
The first African-American woman, an Air Force officer, is promoted to major general., which is verbatim from the cited source (i.e., she is not named in the source). I can't find any other mention, other than her earlier promotions to LCDR and CDR in the Congressional Record. There are many other names in that timeline that are not linked to articles, so I think, if you can find a reliable source, we could add her name to the existing entry (or a new one, if that one isn't her). —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 01:13, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
In 1995, Brig. Gen. Marcelite Harris, USAF, was promoted to major general, the first black woman to attain this rank.That appears to be who the www.womensmemorial.org link above is referring to (in writing it, I missed the fact that your mother was Navy and our article and the cited source were referring to an Air Force officer). I searched with Google and Newspapers.com and was unable to find any reference to your mother. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 15:19, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

After several revisions and explanations for said revisions. There are users that insist on classifying this group with unsubstantiated definitions. They have refused to acknowledge citations from the group and only use definitions that are derived from innuendo and political bias. I am not going to spend each day revising this page. I can see that both users are participating in active racism and not objective reasoning. There is Nothing to Prove that this group is a black nationalist OR separatist group. There is no evidence of their ideology being reflective of eiother yet Reverted back to reflect that. SPLC has not classified them as either of these types of groups. Interviews of the leaders mentions Nothing of these agendas. I recommend that this article be reviewed by other parties who will look at EVIDENCE not hearsay.. and use actual statements not biased observations for changing this article.

I am new to editing Wikipedia and would like to know where the best place to start editing is. I don't want to screw up any articles. I'm pretty good with English and Grammar and spelling if that means anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blaze The Wolf (talk • contribs) 17:31, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
I know I'm missing something obvious but... well, it's not obvious to me!
The article Sky 5 is listed under 'B' in Category:English-language television stations in New Zealand. It used to be called 'The Box', so that makes sense to a degree. But how do I get it under 'S' now? ◦ Trey Maturin 18:50, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello -- I have noticed that the page for David Ryu, an LA City Councilmember in a reelection race, has been edited multiple times by a user named User:M390391. This account has only edited the page of the Councilmember and his opponent, and has added multiple sections that I feel are POV. I have tried to clean up as best as I can to conform to W:NPOV but the last round of edits are massive, and I am unsure how to handle and don't want to act unilaterally. What is the best place to ask to get the eyes of some more experienced editors / administrators on this? CaliforniaThrasher (talk) 19:31, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
