Disambiguation link notification for November 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Catherine Furbish, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. John River. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Catherine Furbish
Nice work on the Catherine Furbish article. I wonder if you would like to consider submitting it as a candidate for the "Did you know...?" feature. DYKs (as they are commonly called) are short snippets taken from Wikipedia's newest articles and, if approved, appear on the Main Page. You can learn more about this by clicking on the image to the right to access a nice pdf outlining the process.

According to the DYK tool, your article was created very early on November 5, and since you only have a week to submit the article, you should do this as soon as possible. Assuming, of course, that you're interested. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Help Requested: Private correspondence to public edits
Hello there. Tallgrass Beef Company has brought a case to me in which they have firmly documented evidence/paperwork from the USDA proving that they have paid a USDA fine. They also have emails asking if the USDA would make the information public, and a response saying that the USDA would not create a public record stating they paid the fine. This is difficult for Tallgrass, as it makes them look like they have not paid the fine, when they have. Tallgrass has asked me to reach out to Wikipedia for help on this matter: what we are asking is is there a way to make private correspondence such as detailed receipts of payment into edits on Wikipedia, whether through admins or any other means?

My personal inclination would be to ask a reputable source to add an addendum with the true info, and then cite that info. Tallgrass is concerned the articles are too old to add such addendums, but still want the truth to be reflected in their Wikipedia page.

If there is any person/user/page I can contact or reference, please let me know! Much thanks. -G Gabiravioli (talk) 03:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello, that sounds like an awful situation. Unfortunately, Wikipedia cannot help. As an encyclopedia, we are a tertiary source, which means we draw most of our information from secondary sources. If the information is not published in a reliable secondary source, we can't do anything. We're not the place to "get the message out". Going to the media is probably your best bet. Best of luck!
