User talk:Bearingproject

I'm just beginning to create a page for a living person (a biography) and will create a related page for the Bearing Project once the artist's page is completed. I entered the info into the Sandbox and after saving the initial information a note appeared at the top of the screen saying that it was not the correct format for a biography of a living person. I clicked on that link and read through the information, but no template was specified. Am I doing something wrong? I've looked at a few of the "featured articles" of artists and an attempting to create a similar format.

Also, how do I add/place pictures?

 * Hi Bearing. There is no need for a special template atop the page, unless and until you wish to move it into the main article space or have it reviewed by an experienced editor. As for now, you can simply continue to work on the article while it is in your sandbox. I should also tell you that your article as it exists now would not be likely to be included as an article, as it cites no references from independent sources (see WP:42 for the simplest but complete explanation of what it takes to have an article stay in Wikipedia). As for images, see Uploading images for instructions on uploading an image to Wikipedia, and Picture tutorial for instructions on the myriad ways you can add an image to a page. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:04, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I understand about citations, sources, etc. As I said, I'm literally just beginning. I'm figuring out html at this point! Thanks for the link about pictures.Bearingproject (talk) 06:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

How do I create the link to a footnote/reference and information in the article? Nevermind...I figured it out...

It's been awhile, but I am coming back to this project now, I have a question. I am not related to Ildiko, however, I am on the Board of Directors of the Bearing Public Sculpture Project. Myself and another board member have been working to put this site together. It is all legitimate, but I need to know if we can ever get approval for this site? We have begun including links from the list of references into the text. Are we at least on the right track? Ildiko has been written about in several of the references (newspaper and magazine articles, etc.), I guess we just need to know if what we are doing so far is getting closer. The only response we have received is that the editor thinks we're related to Ildiko (which we are not) and tells us to cite things (which we have begun to do). Please advise more specifically than a blanket "decline." Thanks, Liz Peterson, 509-998-7756 (central time)

I posted a new comment/question the other day and have not yet received a reply. Please read the comment/question immediately above this one and let me know where we should go from here. Thank you. Liz Peterson

Why is no one responding to our requests for information and help?


 * Sorry that you did not get a response, but with many thousands of editors, it is very rare for anyone to be watching a particular new editor's talk page, and so nobody noticed your message. You can specifically flag your talk page as containing a request for help with the helpme template, and you will get a response. Also, the Articles for Creation help desk (linked above) is watched by many editors, and is a good place to get help with draft articles. Revent talk 11:36, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bearingproject", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of an organization, and not allowed per WP:ISU.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. ''Either way, you can continue working on your draft at Draft:Bearing Public Sculpture Project, where it has been moved. (the Draft namespace is the 'new' standard location for draft articles)'' Revent talk 11:44, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 21:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Note that I created the eepeterson username and then re-read the message from Alexf. If there is a problem using the newly created eepeterson username for this purpose, I'm fine to just create another username: lepeterson (if that's available).
 * So there is more than one person with access to this account? Peridon (talk) 14:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

No, not anymore. It's just me. Is there a rule about multiple people using a login?
 * Yes, see Role account. en.wp's stance on role accounts is that it causes issues with the licensing. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 09:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I DID CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT, WITH A NEW PASSWORD, AND ASKED THAT THE CONTENT HERE BE SWITCHED TO THAT, OR, THAT THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD FOR THIS ACCOUNT TO BE CHANGED TO THE NEW ONE I CREATED. YOUR PAINSTAKINGLY LONG AND CRYPTIC PROCESS IS IRRITATING TO SAY THE LEAST. I'M SO TIRED OF CANNED RESPONSES WITH LITTLE TO NO INFORMATION. IS THERE ANYONE THERE IN THE ORGANIZATION WHO WILL ACTUALLY TALK WORK WITH ME AND FIX THIS????????
