Ref number 16 is wrong - I did not do it. Please fix. Srbernadette (talk) 00:08, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It is true that this time you didn't do it. You are an experienced editor.  Can you learn referencing?  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I just deleted the offending portion.  Anti-vaxxers are nothing new; it's an old bad idea.  I didn't correct the misspelling of the name of the extinct disease.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

At the bottom of the article - after all o0f the refs -= there is a citation form Encyclopedia Britannica. It has a "red" warning. Please fix. I did not create this concern Thanks Srbernadette (talk) 01:30, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Srbernadette. I have fixed it. You could have done so also, by looking at the documentation at . Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Why is Avani Technology Solutions Inc nominated for deletion?
Why is the wiki page created for Avani tech Solutions is considered for deletion/ All information available in the article is true and sufficient links are furnished too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomaseater (talk • contribs) 06:36, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * See this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page, just as the deletion notice tells you. --CiaPan (talk) 07:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * "Why is the wiki page created for Avani tech Solutions..." - right there is the fundamental problem, the article was created to benefit the subject. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:37, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * It fails to credibly meet the criteria in Notability (organizations and companies). Without clear notability, it has the appearance of being entirely promotional.  Wikipedia only has articles on the most significant companies in the world, and the other 99% (approximately) are excluded until they can demonstrate significant notability in the global or national context, through widespread in-depth coverage by good independent sources.   Murph 9000  (talk) 10:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

It wasn't created by me. Please check the original creator. I contested this because I am wary about the credibility of the company. Thomaseater (talk) 10:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The standard for inclusion is not credibility but rather significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. —teb728 t c 10:54, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

"you have yet to find a single editor to agree with you" ?
I edited a article. But a user reverted my contribution with saying "you have yet to find a single editor to agree with you" Is there any regulation related to it? Is this right? GBCKHQ (talk) 08:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia ideally works on consensus. At least four different editors have reverted your addition, and nobody but you supports it. If you are reverted, you should attempt to persuade other editors on talk pages rather than edit warring to force your preferred version. See WP:Edit warring and WP:BRD. —teb728 t c 09:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Please edit Yom Kippur
Someone wrote something offensive at the end of the first session. There might be more, I stopped reading. Thanks, HVH

 * Done, in the future you can always remove the offending text as well and place a warning on the user's page whch I did. Thanks for catching it! RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:35, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Adding Images to my user page
How do I add images to my user page: John Warner Smith. I uploaded files (bookers and photo of myself) but I don't know where they went. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Warner Smith (talk • contribs) 16:44, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You have uploaded three images to Wikimedia Commons. You can see a list of them here. Maproom (talk) 17:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

However, please sign your post by typing four tildes ( ~ ) or clicking the signature button above the edit box which looks like this: [[Image:Signature_icon.png]].  Do not sign in articles.

Address has changed
The Kasson Public Library is now 607 1st Street NW in Kasson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.35.96.131 (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Why is this relevant? P p p er y 19:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You can either bring this up on the article's talk page or click the edit button and change the location in the library infobox yourself since the library's website is claiming the new address. Help desk is not really the place for statement of change. Thanks. Maineartists (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
