Due to urgent privacy concerns, I need to remove my birth date from Wikipedia. I did that on my own entry (obviously this is not my real name, but I'm not particularly famous), but my name still appears on the "People Born in ___" page for my birth year, and I can't see how to remove it. How can I get my name off that page? Is there anywhere else I should be looking for my birth date on your site? I am a regular donor, please help me protect myself from persistent fraudsters, hackers, and loons! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Almondina Armada (talk • contribs) 04:25, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, @Maproom: that worked!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Almondina Armada (talk • contribs) 01:53, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
I have added some well researched information about Rosetta Smith who was Sir Thomas Picton's mistress. This is well sourced material from the Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies.

My material is systematically removed with no reasonable explanation by a number of users.
This is clearly being done for political reasons by people who want to re-write the narratives of history to fit their agenda.
Why is this politicisation happening? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrbsaunders (talk • contribs) 04:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, are sohu.com and sina.com.cn considered reliable sources? Thanks in advance. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 05:41, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
I want to propose a small change to an article (it contains an inaccuracy) but I'm reluctant to carry out the change myself as I may mess up the formatting and overall appearance of that part of the article. Can someone help...? Lemma trefoil states that it originates from the Latin trifolium which is incorrect (or perhaps partly incorrect) as the actual origin is from the Greek τριφύλλι which means tri (τρι) - leaf (φύλλι). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lekkomanolis (talk • contribs) 06:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
dear Sirs, ladies,
i was reading about the natlab in eindhoven on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips_Natuurkundig_Laboratorium
and i saw that mr. Else Kooi was mentioned in red, meaning he does not have a wiki page. but i know that he has! https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Else_Kooi
although it is only in dutch. so may i be so bold as to ask, is it an idea to link the page to the dutch wiki page, or maybe an idea to translate the dutch page into english (this i would very much be willing to do) and then link the pages together?
thank you very much for your help
and for being wikipedia!
