PENSOLE site - copyright isues
Dear editors: I was looking at a new page called PENSOLE and it appears to have a large section copied from this web site:. I thought that I should report it. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 00:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Good catch - it has now been speedily deleted (for being overly promotional). You should consider enabling WP:Twinkle under the gadgets tab in your preferences. It is a useful tool for tagging articles for Speedy deletion, Proposed deletion and Afd (among other things). --ukexpat (talk) 01:16, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Adding References on Wiki
Hi,

I am having a few addition troubles with informative references on 1 or 2 articles I am interested in adding on.

Thanks. Hired Ghoul (talk) 01:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * WP:Referencing for beginners will probably be of some help to you. Dismas |(talk) 02:45, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Article On Jonas Salk
The article on Jonas Salk and development of polio vaccine is great. However, there was an error which appeares with the US postage stamp honoring those who lead fight against polio. Whomever uploaded the reference material make a transcription error. The individual noted the date 1959by the stamp indicating when it was issued. If you review the uploaded photo information on the stamp, the stamp was actually issued on January 15, 1957 in Washington, DC, not in 1959 as labeled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwowensrrph (talk • contribs) 04:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for catching that! I went ahead and corrected it. In the future, you can be bold and fix obvious errors - just be sure to explain in the edit summary. ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 04:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Unicode character 2019 is a kind of quotation mark; the message should have read "1’m". Presumably either the website software or your browser isn't set up to handle Unicode characters correctly. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:52, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

No info.. Wiki needs provide me with more info!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.155.117 (talk) 07:45, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia doesn't need to provide you with anything! But if you would like to request an article on her, you can do so at Requested articles. --ColinFine (talk) 13:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

hello i want to change my article topic
hello , i wanna change my article topic (momo/mogmog) to Momo/dumplings (mogmog)

please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tashikelzang (talk • contribs) 13:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Your article has been deleted because Momo (dumpling) already exists. - David Biddulph (talk) 13:40, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you forgot about the existence of Momo (dumpling), but you edited it last month. - David Biddulph (talk) 13:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I am afriad that we already have an article on momo dumplings. I have therefore deleted the page you created under criterion G10 of the speedy deletion criteria. Please feel free to add to the existing article if you wish (note, however, that Wikipedia is not a recipe book, and adding "how-to" instructions on making momo is not permitted).

Wet Nurse Article
It would be appropriate if you include the relationship between wet nursing and Slavery in the United States. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.10.44 (talk) 14:21, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Wrong place to suggest this, but the answer is simple: WP:BEBOLD and WP:SOFIXIT. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:35, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If you have reliable sources it's up to you to add it. Roger (talk) 15:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * As this subject might be controversial, it is especially important that you add material - particularly argumentation - only if it has already been presented in a reliable source, which you cite. Please do not add your own research, arguments or conclusions. --ColinFine (talk) 23:17, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Uploading image
I am trying to upload a new image onto the "Family Process (journal)" article. The image was provided to me from the WIley-Blackwell publishing company for use on the page. However, when I go to the upload file page and enter in all of the information- the "upload" button does not become available. The only button I can press is the "Reset form" button which I do not want to do. I am wondering if I am missing any steps? Thank you! FPJ1962 (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2013 (UTC)FPJ1962


 * A more general question: when you say "for use on the page" does that mean that they have provided it solely for use on that page and for no other purpose? If so, that is not a sufficient license/release for Wikipedia purposes, it has to be a release for all purposes.--ukexpat (talk) 15:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

To answer your question about why you could not upload it, only autoconfirmed users (See WP:AUTOCONFIRM) can upload files. You made your 10th edit by asking the question on this page, so you should now be able to upload the file - although there is sometimes a delay before the software recognizes that you have reached the autoconfirmed threshold. - Arjayay (talk) 15:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The existing cover is used under a non-free rationale, so, provided it is uploaded to the English Wikipedia (not Commons) to replace that, the licence should not be a problem.


 * Note that I have moved the article to Family Process, disambiguation is not required.--ukexpat (talk) 16:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I was trying to fix some vandalism
at Baby Face Nelson when I realized that the issue had been going on for a while and seemed to be deeper imbedded in the article that I could fix. I think that the whole article needs to be reverted to an earlier version. Perhaps someone here would like to try it. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I have reverted it to ClueBot's version of Jan 28th. I think that's the correct one.--ukexpat (talk) 15:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

checking on submission
How do I know the status of my articles created? - Bethesda (Band) updated and resubmitted - Miss Palmer sent from Sandbox on 2.1, but no confirmation that it is being reviewed.

thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by DivineScribe (talk • contribs) 19:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The pages you have edited appear in your contributions, at Special:Contributions/DivineScribe. It looks as though your article on Bethesda has been declined, and I don't see that the article in your sandbox has been submitted yet. Please be patient once you do submit these, the AFC process is rather backlogged at the moment. Hers fold  non-admin (t/a/c) 21:06, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The box at top of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bethesda says "When you are ready to resubmit, click here". You haven't done that (or you didn't click "Save page" afterwards) so the page has not been resubmitted yet.
 * The current content at User:DivineScribe/sandbox has never been submitted for review. I have placed Userspace draft at top of the page so you can more easily submit it if you want, by clicking "Submit the page!". I also fixed some external links. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:52, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Resources fopr a single mother whose child has cancer
Italic text — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.131.232.121 (talk) 20:24, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry to hear of your child's medical problems, however Wikipedia and its volunteers cannot offer any medical advice or similar resources, other than our sympathy. I would recommend searching on Google or another search engine for support groups and charities in your area that may be able to assist. I wish you and your family the best of luck as your child fights this disease. Hers fold  non-admin (t/a/c) 21:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

 * They would need to know where you are located, what type of support you need (financial, emotional, etc.), and the type of cancer. For example, if you live near Memphis, Tennessee, then St. Jude Children's Research Hospital might be a good choice, as they help kids with some types of cancer, even if their parents have no insurance or money.

Remove Incorrect Content About Ownership: Slangwho
Good Day,

I have been trying to remove wrong information about company ownership on following site Slangwho

Namely Sasha Tcherevkoff was never co-owner of the company neither had partial company ownership. Indeed, he was not part of the Slangwho Co-Founder. We need to remove his name from Slangwho page. We tried to remove it ourselves many times but got reverted by one of the editors. Please comply with my request.

Fcukinyahoo (talk) 21:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Slangwho Team
 * First welcome to Wikipedia - secondly sorry your having trouble with this simple edit. Would you happen to have a source (references) stating who the founder(s) is/are and what the others do - as in a press release our third party publication?Moxy (talk) 21:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * At the risk of being unhelpful:
 * Several of the sources in the article mention Tcherevkoff as either the founder or cofounder. This looks like some kind of company infighting to me; we're not really interested in participating in that.
 * The article doesn't seem to meet our inclusion guidelines - the company doesn't really have any significant coverage in reliable sources, and all the PR-type coverage that is in the reference section is from 2010. I've proposed deletion of the article, and will likely take it to a deletion discussion if the prod is removed.
 * Please read our conflict of interest guidelines; it will help you understand how people associated with companies can best participate in articles about their company.
 * That siad, I'm glad you asked here rather than continue to revert other editors. At the very least this will bring more eyes to the article. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:19, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
