Your page on breonna Taylor is locked but contains incorrect information. There are search warrants showing the correct information and they are publicly available. This is why I don't donate to you guys, you're liars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4940:C0C0:88C6:30D7:EEF1:6C25 (talk) 05:10, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I have submitted an article draft for review(Draft:Abas basir), but i have not received any reply yet, what can i do that this article be verified as soon as possible? it is urgent to be live in google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abas basir (talk • contribs) 06:42, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
You should also be familiar with the core issues when creating a draft: Notability, Sources, and Content.
WP:MADEDRAFT "If you are ready to go live, you can move it to mainspace. However, note that your account must be four days old and you must have made a minimum of 10 edits in order to do so (a restriction called autoconfirmation). If you do not meet these restrictions, you can request such a move at this section of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
Above all, don't rush: Rome wasn't built in a day, and there's no reason your article should be. However, if you don't cover at least the core issues below before going "live" with your draft, you may soon be looking at Why was my page deleted? Don't wait to get it perfect, but do write enough content and cite enough sources so that others can develop the article if you move on."

To Wikipedia entries authority
This is Professor Mohit Ul Alam, PhD., writing.
Just today, 10 September 2020, I happened to see that on my entry 'Mohit Ul Alam' in Wikipedia a passage under the heading of "corruption" has printed ceratin allegations against me, of which I got absolute clearance after a thorough investigation by DUDOK (the Anti-corruption Commission, the agency responsible for such investigations) and a letter of discharge was officially issued on 16 January 2020, of which I let you know on 21st July 2020 at 9:19 am on my first sighting of the information with the reference number (04.01.6100.616.01.014.17 dated 16/01/2020) carried by the letter. To my great surprise and shock, I see that stuff being repeated and would like to request you to immediately withdraw it from my entry, as it is absolutely detrimental to my professional as well as public image in the society, and all the more reason why I am requesting you is that the charges were completely baseless as ACC's official report attests. Besides, my son was recruited by following all the rules of the university and those of the country, and for your information, following the university rules, I didn't preside over the selection committee meeting, and I withdrew from the committee following the university rules. My son, however, worked there for only six months after which he resigned on his own to join another university on a better offer.
Besides as the present profile does not give a comprehensive picture of who I am I asked one of my junior colleagues Mr. Romel, as he in our department more attuned to handling the technicalities of such websites as the Wikipedia, that he could update my profile as to suitably represent me, and I gave him the draft without ever realizing, out of our ignorance, that it could be considered as compromised by the profile rules of Wikipedia. And he told me regrettably what went on between him and Wikipedia moderators in this regard.
I am personally aggrieved as to what had transpired so far in terms of misunderstanding, and now am writing this letter to clean up all the confusion and allow me to provide updated information about myself by giving a complete list of books and a dossier about my career from verifiable sources.
I am hereby submitting an image of the letter issued by ACC on 16 January 2020, and a copy of my ID as well as a copy of the visiting card.
Please withdraw the 'Corruption' passage completely and let my mind rest in peace.
With this kindly let me know when I can give my fuller description in accordance with the Wikipedia format.
With thanks.
Mohit Ul Alam
(Professor Dr. Mohit Ul Alam) Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Science Premier University, Chattagram Bangladesh
Formerly Vice-Chancellor of Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University Trishal, Mymensingh Bangladesh
P.S. I tried to upload the images of the discharge letter by the Anti Corruption Commission of Bangladesh but Wikipedia is not allowing me to do so. The documents are ready to be produced if needed to verify my claim made above in the letter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehbad (talk • contribs) 07:02, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Some time ago, I replaced the (incorrect) text of the lede paragraph of Dublin Core with a correct text, quoting the definition on this page of the DC Web site. The definition is peppered with Trade Mark symbols, which I found odd, but felt that I had no choice but to keep them in, as it is a direct quotation. Now another editor has removed the Trade Mark symbols. The text certainly reads more smoothly without them but I'm concerned that it is no longer a direct quotation, though it looks as if it is by virtue of the inline reference to the page mentioned above. Please advise what is the correct course of action here. Thanks. Misha Wolf (talk) 11:11, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
hello
As a newcomer to editing Wikipedia - I would like some advice please if possible.
Can we add a link to our official company website to a page that has already been created (by other users) about the history of our company? would doing this create a conflict of interests or contravene anything?
We would also like to use our company name as our username and to make some amendments to the existing text. We want to follow best practice so would welcome advice.
See existing page below, many thanks.

HI. hoping to get a correction made to Sarah Murdoch She is also ambassador of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and a member of its development board.” Sarah Murdoch is on the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute Board of Directors NOT on the development board. Please below boards from the MCRI website… https://www.mcri.edu.au/about/people/board-and-committees https://www.mcri.edu.au/about/people/board-and-committees Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JESG66 (talk • contribs) 11:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC) HI. Hoping to get a correction amended to SARAH MURDOCH's Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Murdoch “Nine News presenter Kellie Sloane replaced Murdoch until May 2007, when Lisa Wilkinson took over as the new co-host on Today.” This statement is untrue. Please see below article from News.com.au “Sarah signs off for Today" https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/sarah-signs-off-for-today/news-story/b63cf61adc35b92b418bdbd90dd5d06c Sarah Murdoch stepped down. She was not replaced. • “SHE'S improved the ratings, adjusted to a grueling early morning routine and even put up with co-host Karl Stefanovic's jokes, but Sarah Murdoch's successful run on the Today show will finish next week.” • “Much to the Nine network's disappointment, the accomplished model mum has announced that after an extended summer of four months co-hosting the show, her last day in the Today hotseat will be Friday March 30.” THANK YOU! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JESG66 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC) Sarah Murdoch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Murdoch Hoping to get Sarah Murdoch's page corrected... Australia's Next Top Model[edit] Murdoch replaced Jodhi Meares as host of Australia's Next Top Model after Meares infamously blundered her way through the third season's live finale in 2007 and flat-out refused to appear in 2008's finale. This statement is untrue. Please see below article from Sydney Morning Herald “Murdoch Leave Model” https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/murdoch-leaves-model-20111212-1or4n.html Sarah produced Australia’s Next Top Model as well as hosted. • “FOXTEL announced today that Murdoch has decided to step aside from her role as host and co-executive producer of the FOX8 series.” • “As well as hosting the show, Murdoch also held the role of Executive Producer via her Room 329 production company." • “Brian Walsh, FOXTEL’s Executive Director of Television, said in a statement today “Sarah has made a remarkable contribution to Australia's Next Top Model and was instrumental in propelling the programme to its most successful season ever, in 2011." • “Photographer Jez Smith rejoined the series…’She’s not only put her kudos as a model on the line in calling on her contacts to become involved but, as executive producer, she’s taken on a lot more responsibility and is really putting in the hours to make the show as good as it could possibly be. She’s amazing.’” — Preceding unsigned comment added by JESG66 (talk • contribs) 11:57, 10 September 2020 (UTC) |
Hello
I am interested in creating a Wikipedia page for the Callan Method, which is a system for teaching English as a foreign language, and I am reaching out to you for a little guidance if possible.
I should point out from the outset that I work for Callan Method Organisation; we publish materials, train teachers, and accredit schools that use the Callan Method.
The Callan Method tends to divide opinion, and consequently there is a lot of content online about the method, uploaded by students, teachers, commentators etc. Opinions differ widely, which is fine, but our concern is that ‘factual’ information is often inaccurate. We think that a neutral Wikipedia entry could go a long way to resolving this matter.
I have read the various pages on Wikipedia that mention the need for notability, and for reliable, verifiable and independent sources. I have to admit, though, that I am still unsure how to address these properly.
I have drafted a first article, which is in my sandbox (username: SquirrelArdilla). I would be very grateful for any feedback, no matter how brief, that you can give me at this early stage, as I do not yet feel confident to submit the article for review.
Kind regards

Sorry to bother you again but I ran into trouble again with my template (Template:Brass instruments). For whatever reason, every page that uses template was somehow added to Category:Musical instrument templates, including my own user page. If it helps, I added the template to the pages using the Visual Editor and typing "((" to pull up the "Add a template" box" and went from there. I can't find the way to fix this and I would love some instruction from some more experienced editors. Why? I Ask (talk) 13:18, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

tags. The system will get round to fixing up the category listing eventually. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:04, 10 September 2020 (UTC)This isn't the right place but I want to say something. Today, you asked me to donate, which I already do, every month. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE Wikipedia. Having the whole of human knowledge, including Wikipedia, in the palm of my hand is mind boggling. Wikipedia is perfect for trivia, serious info and also I love it as backup for quick reference when I've been reading up on a subject seriously.

When I go to wikipedia and click on my user name GioCM I get a note that it has been deleted, without stating when and by whom. My Contribution list still exists, and I am still alive, although older than statistically expected. My wikipedia page, for Gio Widerhold, created by one of my students is still there as well.
The reason I looked is that received on my iPhone an urgent call to contribute to wikipedia. I do that annually. But when I clicked on payment it disappeared, and there is no evidence left on my email. Was that Spam of Phishing? I don't find such a request when I go to wikipedia (US) now. It requetsed payment by Paypal - surprising, since I was informed by Wikipedia in 2019 that they don't use paypal directly for some privacy reason. I don't care about my privacy, can't recall anything in my life that I should be seriously embarrassed about.
Thanks for follow up <email address redacted> Gio — Preceding unsigned comment added by GioCM (talk • contribs) 16:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Is there a policy for how hatnotes should be ordered? CampWood (talk) 17:36, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello. I know this is probably a matter of fact, but I am very confused. So I use rollback all the time because it's a very handy tool, of course. However, I looked at my rights and I do not have the rollback right, nor am I listed among the users with it. Am I allowed to use it without the right? How did I even get it if I don't have the right? Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 19:25, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Could anyone please tell me if it's all right to use something (in the instance I'm talking about) a phrase like "Kansas City, MO" in the text of an article, outside of a quote? It seems a bit awkward to me, but maybe that's just my own stylistic biases at play.--Thylacine24 (talk) 21:03, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Does wikipedia allow creation of a biography page about a individual to be created and edited and locked and controlled by someone other than the person it is about?
Why would wikipedia allow their website to be used to slander a persons reputation with false information by others who are not authorized or given consent to write a Bio page by the person whom the Bio page is regarding?
I'm disgusted by this abuse of wikipedia and being presented as factual but in reality is used to harm a person.
This is a false political tool. Wikipedia is corrupt and a shame if this is true.
