Pls correct the driving system of the Bangladesh . it will be . right hand driving not left — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.124.169.171 (talk) 01:30, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
I was googling for something in Japanese, and one result was on https://ja.wikinew.wiki, which resembles Wikipedia in appearance, but has cookies, a banner ad (I have an ad blocker, so I don't know what ad), SMS sharing buttons, etc. I searched Google for just the base domain "wikinew.wiki", and initially all the hits were Japanese with the ja subdomain (perhaps detecting that I'm physically in Japan). Googling "en.wikinew.wiki" turned up English pages, but the topics were really obscure (as were the Japanese ones). The site calls itself Wikipedia and uses a color version of your globe logo, a very Wikipedia-like appearance, and even your footer verbatim. But below the footer, it says:
When I click on the rumored article (which has a URL of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wiki/[topic] - note the double "wiki"), the resulting real Wikipedia page says, "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name." If I remove the extra "wiki", then I find the real article that wikinew.wiki is mimicking.
I can't tell if they have your header (Article/Talk...Search), because where it would be is obscured by a cookie agreement banner, and I have no interest in agreeing to cookies on a sketchy website. The fact that Google doesn't have any common topics (even though they appear to exist on the site) seems like an attempt to "fly under the radar" - apparently they use robots.txt or something similar to deliberately keep Google from indexing more normal topics. It all smells very, very fishy. 121.84.89.220 (talk) 08:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello
How do I change the logo on the St Paul's Juniors page. You currently have the old logo for Colet Court which hasn't existed for a long time and it is also still pulling through to our google listings which is proving very unhelpful. I tried to upload the file but it won't let me. It keeps giving me an error message which says we can't determine if this is suitable for upload to wikipedia commons. Can we please resolve this.
Thank you,

Can someone please start a page for the movie HoneyBee from 2016?
With the link to "User rights", I used to be able to see in a list all accounts that started with a particular set of characters. Right now, it shows this. If I manually remove the &limit" from the URL, it seems to work, but why does it use that at all? What should I do differently? (If I change the characters after I've removed the limit=, it then does it with a limit of 50.)--Bbb23 (talk) 15:53, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

I have a client (an individual) that has had a wikipedia bio online for years.
While we were working with the wiki team to make some updates, the page just disappeared from online and now says it's 'archived,' and when we inquire w/ the wiki team, no one responds via email, within their portal or via phone.
How do we get it back online? Or get in touch with someone at wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.58.94.49 (talk) 15:56, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, I've done some work on the Sotheby's page & want to remove the financial data (revenue, operating income, net income, etc.) from their infobox seeing as they're a private company & that won't be updated anymore. When I go to remove that from the infobox, I'm left with a preview of the data & a link to the Wikidata page. I'm not sure what I need to do to remove said data from the infobox & do not want to blank those pages on Wikidata. Can anyone help? I was directed here from the Sotheby's talk page by another user.

StarryGrandma (talk) 17:07, 23 June 2021 (UTC)| suppressfields = revenue operating_income net_income assets equity num_employees
|equity=
is not populated from wikidata so |suppressfields=
does not apply. If you want to remove the financial data, remove those parameters and their values and then set
|suppressfields=revenue operating_income net_income assets num_employees
to prevent the template from fetching those data from wikidata.Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) § Product reviews says "a strong indication of a sponsored or other relationship is a review that is excessively positive or negative", and they do seem overly positive for me. On the other hand, the first two articles are published in seemingly reliable sources.
Am I being paranoid or do these, too, seem like sponsored reviews to you? Kleinpecan (talk) 18:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, We have an issue here regarding the font selected by the OS/browser to display varieties of Arabic such as South Levantine Arabic (ajp) and North Levantine Arabic (apc). Apparently on Windows 10, using Firefox, Edge, or Chrome, the following words don't look the same and may not be readable depending on the language code used: احنا (ar) احنا (ajp) احنا (apc) // اللَّهْجَةُ الشَّامِيَّة (ar) اللَّهْجَةُ الشَّامِيَّة (ajp) اللَّهْجَةُ الشَّامِيَّة (apc) On MacOS + Chrome/Firefox/Safari everything looks OK. Do you know if there's a way to solve this problem? A455bcd9 (talk) 20:54, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia Administration, &/or Editorial staff, &/or ... ??
There's a VERY spartan article about me & my dual political/legal careers. (I am "Robert F. Frazier" [Aka: "Robert F. Frazier, Esq.].)
I attempted on my own to augment this Article with factual biographical/autobiographical material¹. However, after only several months following my posting of the augmentation a volunteer deleted everything I had provided with the wry comment that it "looked like a Curriculum Vitae" or "a job application"!! I'm 72+ years of age (Which this volunteer could have determined from the birth date I had provided) & I am not looking for a job² or any jobs!!
(¹Note ... The material I provided was very similar to what I had observed in numerous other "Wikipedia"[tn] biographies ... Viz. Family background, Parents, Birth Date, other vital statistics & information, Education, Early Career, Mature Career & "Highllights", extra-curricular avocations, etc.)
(²Note ... My last & current jobs are as [1] a self-employed Trial Lawyer, [2] a self-employed politico-military consultant, [3] an Historian & Historical writer, [4] the President of my Class (1971) at Lehigh University, & [5] a Public Speaker for 3rd-party events & an intermittant consultant to broadcasts purporting to be "news".)
QUESTION: Could I please be informed of (1) how my Article can be augmented while avoiding the type of inexperienced interference which I have already experienced, & of (2) how I might be assigned to a more professional (Or, perhaps, that would be a more empathetic & tolerant) volunteer who might be my collaborator (Not exactly a "ghostwriter" but not entirely dissimilar from such either) to bring my Article to a creditable level in terms of being an accurate biography &/or autobiography??
Respectfully Submitted ... ... Robert (F. Frazier, Esq.).
P.S. If my inquiry here is overlong compared to a median of your submissions, please excuse & forgive my inexperience in writing to you at "Wikipedia"[tn]; This is only my first effort ever at a direct communication to "Wikipedia"[tn] Administration etc., & I have not found a tutorial for what you might expect in these inquiries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RFFESQ41 (talk • contribs) — RFFESQ41 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
