Voluntary Aid Detachment
Sorry -  we  have  accidently  wiped  a  section of  this  page. Please restore  if  able. Sorry 175.32.82.245 (talk) 05:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ It has been mentioned to you in the past, that if an error such as this occurs, you can go to the page history and click 'undo', by your edit, to restore the previous version. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 05:47, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Page deletion
Hi! I was looking to publish a page for EverlyWell and it seems that they have been deleted in the past for COI. I am unaffiliated with the company, and unsure of how to appeal for recreation of the page. Thank you Literalkoala (talk) 05:44, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If it was deleted as a COI-created article, you are better off starting from scratch rather than trying to build from whatever existed in the past. Your First Article and verifiability will help guide you a lot.  It looks like you've already started on it in your sandbox, so I recommend truly focusing on the reliability of your sources and showing that the company meets WP:NCORP and WP:ORGDEPTH requirements before hitting the submit button on the draft in your sandbox.  Happy editing!  Orville1974  (talk) 06:09, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.


 * Take the time to read WP:GNG and WP:BAND. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:Your first article and WP:Autobiography. If not, write about something else. If you decide to try to create a draft, you need to learn Help:Referencing for beginners. Good luck! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:24, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Writing about yourself and your band is considered a conflict of interest. This ensures that the encyclopedia remains neutral, and the entries meet a degree of notability. Please read WP:COI. If there is sufficient media coverage, you will need to request the help of another editor at WP:REQUEST. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  13:38, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Please don't take it personally. It appears that you do not understand what Wikipedia is. Read WP:NOT to see. We are an encyclopedia. If a subject is notable by our definition, then it should have an article. If it is not notable, then it should not have an article and any article that soemhow creeps in will be deleted. We delete about 200 articles every day, mostly for lack of notability. A subject that is does not have an article must not be added to a list in another article. "Some do-gooder" was doing exactly the right thing.  Now, if you can convince us that you are notable by our definition, we can help you create an article as described above. You convince us of that by starting a draft article that cites several reliable sources that establish notability. Not all sources are reliable, and not all reliable sources count toward notability. Once you have cited sources that most editors would agree establish notability, we can immediately publish the article as a stub, or (much better) you can continue to improve your draft and ask for feedback from us until it's in good shape. -Arch dude (talk) 16:19, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * on the subject of Mandy Lion, please read WP:OTHERSTUFF. Mistakes about one article do not affect notability of another article. However, If you cite reliable soures, you may add assertions to an article. If you see unreferenced assertions in an article, you are free to remove them. If you see referenced assertions that are inaccurate, do not remove them, but you are free to add referenced content that contradicts them and that discusses the contradiction. If you feel that your changes might be contentious, you may make them anyway and wait for someone to revert before you start a discussion WP:BRD, or you may choose to start the discussion on the article's talk page first. -Arch dude (talk) 16:57, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * ok,I THINK I UNDERSTAND A BIT MORE. THE LABEL I WAS SIGNED TO,WAS SUPPOSE TO PUT UP A PAGE ABOUT THE BAND FATAL ATTRACTION,BUT.......THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE DO THE PAGE,OTHERWISE,I WILL BE BATTLING PEOPLE THINKING I'M PROMOTING MYSELF! I'M TRYING TO HAVE A PAGE FOR PEOPLE TO READ FACTS ABOUT THE BAND AND IT'S MEMBERS ! THERE ARE 2 DOCUMENTARIES ,BIOPICS AND A BOOK BEING DONE ABOUT MY MUSIC CAREER,SO. THANKS? I HOPE I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH WHAT YOU THINK IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT IS NOT! ANYONE FEEL FREE TO HELP ME,I PROMISE I'M NOT SOME GUY JUST TRYING TO GET ON HERE,IT'S BECAUSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME,THANKS AGAIN., Mdskewes (talk) 02:57, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Promoting yourself and your band is exactly what you are trying to do. Don't write the article yourself. Don't get your label to write the article. Don't get someone else to do the article for you. As someone with a conflict of interest you may request that an article be created (as previously described), or you can wait for someone with no conflict of interest to decide that your band is notable and write the article.

Approval of submission for Dilip Donde
Hi Could you tell me how long it takes to approve a submission? My submission on Dilip Donde was last viewed in January 2019. Sucheta2810 (talk) 14:13, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Please read the note at the top you your draft Draft:Dilip Donde. Your submission was declined on 30 March 2019. -Arch dude (talk) 16:42, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, . I'm not sure where you are looking, because Draft:Dilip Donde was declined by on 30 March, and you haven't edited it since. --ColinFine (talk) 16:43, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * - I just did some general cleanup to make the article more encyclopedic. I haven't looked at the sources but this seems close for notability based on his being the first Indian to circumnavigate the globe solo by sail. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  18:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

MiszaBot
MiszaBot/lowercase sigmabot III does not archive the page. Did I do something wrong? Puduḫepa (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You have set, which tells the bot not to archive anything if it would leave fewer than four threads on the page. Since there are only three threads so far, nothing will be archived. You can change the "4" if you wish. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

To respond
As per editors guidance I have posted my request on Talk page of Shamsheer Vayalil, but no one gave any response. So, within how many days response will be given? Please, tell me this only.(2409:4064:39D:E13A:7037:4257:2CFD:3EEE (talk) 17:01, 14 June 2019 (UTC))

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4064:39D:E13A:7037:4257:2CFD:3EEE (talk) 17:01, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: A response was provided at the talk page that the edits would not be made as not being conventional. The IP deleted that response in one of a number of edits which edited or removed TP comments by others. I have responded again at the TP and there is a note left there by other editors, that we should only interact with this editor at that page. Eagleash (talk) 17:49, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Courtesy Link Talk:Shamsheer Vayalil - There are many responses there, and many editor talk pages that have been messed up temporarily in the process by the requester making quite a few unconventional edit requests. We're trying to help . . .  Orville1974  (talk) 17:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, we are doing our best to help, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to WP:Assume good faith when (from various different IP addresses) deletes links from others' talk pages, deletes replies, and gives false edit summaries.  Is this a clever troll, or just a young editor who doesn't know how Wikipedia works?   Dbfi<i style="color: #4e4;">r</i><i style="color: #4a4">s</i>  19:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk page
I have posted a request on Talk page of Shamsheer Vayalil. Please! editors make the possible edits. I want to ask a question to all of you (editors) that why you all discriminate with me ? Is it because I post request for a particular article?(223.230.154.128 (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)) Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.230.154.128 (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Donald Trump article
Hi! 209.5.238.20. I'm not sure if you intended to remove your questions/concerns from here just now, but I'm responding anyway. Wikipedia is a platform anyone can edit. I encourage you to find third-party, reliable sources WP:RS and bring your concerns to the article's talk page here: Talk:Donald Trump. You can also get there by clicking on the talk tab at the top of the article. There you can discuss the addition/removal of material with fellow editors.

Map of current arenas
I Was Trying to erase oracle arena and put Chase Center in but the Map Of Current Arenas is blocked can you help me fix it please. 68.103.78.155 (talk) 19:26, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm unfamiliar with Haas Arena and Chase Center, but it appears from reading the articles that Chase Center is still under construction. If so, it's too early to add the arena to the template.  Also, when it is done, will they no longer play at Haas Arena?  If so, once the team moves, the "-present" annotation on that arena should be closed out as well.

Removing rfc template
✅ Hello to you at the Wikipedia help desk. The request for comment I posted on the talk page of the New Albion elicited no responses. So I made certain changes to the article. As such, I do believe it is proper to remove the rfc template; however, the instructions are a little vague as to how this should be done. My inclination is to edit the talk page by deleting the template (which is encapsulated within brackets at the top of the page) and then note my actions with a comment. Is this correct? If not, what should I consider? Kind regards to all.Hu Nhu (talk) 19:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi I think you waited an appropriate amount of time (I usually try to give it a week or so to allow other editors time to see it and respond).  I went ahead and removed the RfC.  In the future, the way you described above is exactly how you can remove RfC templates.  Orville1974  (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you .Hu Nhu (talk) 03:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Edit Information Box
Hello,

Can someone PLEEEEAASE explain how I can update information in the information box on a wiki page where I'm the subject of the page but not the creator of the page? Thank you. What a pain in the ass!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmacjdwiki (talk • contribs) 20:35, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You should make an edit request on the article talk page. Please note that we can't just take your word for something, information must appear in a reliable source. You should also confirm your identity by following the instructions at WP:REALNAME. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Regarding [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keven_McDonald&type=revision&diff=901857947&oldid=901854719], Infobox basketball biography has no law_school parameter. You added it to the documentation [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_basketball_biography/doc&diff=901856423&oldid=896033326] but the actual template code has no such parameter so I reverted you. A new infobox parameter should be relevant to many articles and I don't see that here if law schools don't have elite basketball teams. The article text could mention it somewhere with a reliable source but not the infobox. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * - I added your JD to the article, with a source, and made some other edits to make it more encyclopedic. <b style="color:#7F007F">TimTempleton</b> <sup style="color:#800080">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  22:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

did I made a re-direct mistake
✅ At How heavy are the dumbbells you lift? for the logs, I found that the name was changed. But a few minutes later the old title directs to the lower cased name. Then by WP:RM, the title's name is that or "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?". I was going to add some thing else after. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 23:38, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Are you trying to add more to the title, or just change it to title case (How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift?)?  Orville1974  (talk) 02:46, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, when I did that. On a google search, by the name; Dumbbell Nan-Kilo Moteru, (the old title) it directed me to "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" then it had the re-direct page/ article at the top. To the current title; How heavy are the dumbbells you lift? Where the name is in lower case. But I did not know that some one else did a page move already? A few minutes after I did that. And for re-direct pages/ articles it should only happen once, not twice. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 03:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi I've put in a technical move request since the destination article (the redirect page from title case to standard case) exists.  It may take a day or two for the change to be implemented.  Here is the request:  WP:Requested moves/Technical requests. Once that's done, if the foreign language title still points to the standard case instead of the title case, we can fix the redirect.  Orville1974  (talk) 03:42, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The italic isn't used in the named title, the book's publisher (or is it distributor?) Currently it doesn't use the italics at this url/ link; http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/series/how-heavy-are-the-dumbbells-you-lift/ . Then I was going to use this https://animeuknews.net/2019/06/funimation-to-simulcast-how-heavy-are-the-dumbbells-you-lift-fire-force-hensuki-and-the-ones-within-with-english-dubs/ as a ref. Or a different ref, detailing about the tv show was being licensed by. Or if some one got there first. (I have a night shift soon.) Tainted-wingsz (talk) 04:00, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, regardless of how another site treats italics, since it's the official title of a series, it should be italicized here.  Orville1974  (talk) 04:47, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The move has been done. That was fast. :)  Orville1974  (talk) 05:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
