Help for a begginer
Is there someone or perhaps a service that can help me publish my page on Wikipedia? I have read the FAQ and have not found the help I need. I have uploaded the content and need help, especially with uploading a photo and the template for the right aligned text box. Thank you in advance for your kind direction. Please send help... here is a link to my draft: Draft:Meredith McCrindle. Thank you, Harpmom39 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harpmom39 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Harpmom39, your draft, unfortunately, is highly promotional in tone and content and cannot be moved into mainspace in its current condition. If I were you I'd start by removing all those inline URLs and citing properly--see WP:CITE. That is the first step--the second is to make it more neutral. We are not here to promote people. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:14, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * your Very first step must be to establish notability of the topic. To do this, you must find two or more reliable sources of the correct type. If you cannot establish notability to the satisfaction of yourself and other editors, your article will be deleted, no matter how excellent it is in all other ways. See Notability (music). There are several common ways to mess this up. See Common sourcing mistakes (notability). To answer your specific question: there are people who will take your money and write an article for you, but they have no way to prevent us from deleting the article if the topic is not notable. After you establish notability, we can provide your with further assistance, for free. -Arch dude (talk) 01:47, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Based on your username, I'm guessing you are either the subject of the article or are related to them. Please see WP:AUTO and/or WP:COI for policies in this regard, and WP:PROUD for why it might not necessarily be desirable. Thanks. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 01:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

David Worth Clark
In reading info. about The Northern Baptist Theological Seminary I clicked on the name, David w. Clark, President of Palm Beach Atlantic College (and former graduate of The Northern Baptist Theological Seminary). The next screen that came up was about a David Worth Clark who died in 1955 and gave no reference to Palm Beach Atlantic College. I then clicked on Palm Beach Atlantic College and read the correct info. about its past Presidents and the correct David W. Clark who was president at the college around 2003. So, obviously, the David Worth Clark in the link I clicked on IS NOT THE CORRECT David W. Clark who was a former president of the Palm Beach Atlantic College.

I don't know how to delete this incorrect link shown on the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary informational page, but, someone who does know how to do it, needs to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.200.224.55 (talk) 02:32, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * There is no article for the Clark you're referring to, so I just de-linked it and readers can click the Palm Beach Atlantic University link to read about Clark. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 03:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I have a 15th-century English recipe that I'm trying to puzzle through, and our list of translators doesn't seem to cover that lol. Anyone know where I can go to ask? --valereee (talk) 13:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Fixing an edit summary
Is it possible to go back to change your edit summary once your edit is saved? If not, is there a user script I can use to change it? Interstellarity (talk) 15:51, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * No. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:51, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Significant confusion about how to do this
I am a composer of music and am trying to get just a brief mention and foothold about my work. I drafted a short article, but am very confused about the next steps. Mention in Wiki would help people to know me, and in getting works performed. Some have been performed. I have training and there are plenty of references who can verify I am a serious composer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J Inness54 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not for promotion. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Even if you wrote a non-promotional article, it would still be deleted. Wikipedia will retain and improve an article on any notable subject, as we define it. We will delete an article on a non-notable subject. See WP:COMPOSER for the relevant notability criteria. Notability must be supported by reliable sources (WP:RS). This is easy to mess up: see Common sourcing mistakes (notability). Also take a look at WP:PROUD. Since Wikipedia is not the venue for your effort take a look at alternatives: see WP:OUT. -Arch dude (talk) 17:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Editing this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump
I do not have permissions to edit; could someone with higher permissions write that it is published on Mondays? Specifically: is a weekly shōnen manga anthology published on Mondays in Japan by This information can be verified from the Japanese version of the page. MarvNC (talk) 19:17, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for wanting to improve the article. However, without being able to read Japanese, it is impossible to determine the correct source to cite for this information.  You can place an edit request on the article's talk page, and when you do, please provide the citation for it (see WP:REFB).  RudolfRed (talk) 20:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I should also note that the date of a publication isn't particularly notable. It's certainly not lede material. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I can no longer find book creator as an option on wiki pages
Is book creator still an option? I cannot find it anywhere, and I cannot find any indication that it has been discontinued. Can you clarify and if it is still available to create a book by combining individual wiki pages, can you direct me to the information on how to access and use it. --Scholar0051 (talk) 22:14, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The book creator still exists and is still accessible at Special:Book. The community chose to hide the link on the sidebar because it was mostly non-functional. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:20, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Is it possible to create a book within wiki and then download it -for free- in some kind of file format for my own use? I understand PDF is not an option, but what can I use? The book creator is highly, highly useful application for rapidly creating background information. I would like to use this feature but I'm stumped by how to navigate the increasing complicated wikipedia-related pages to utilize this feature. Simple directions would be greatly appreciated.--Scholar0051 (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

making a new page
hi i noticed that there isnt a page for Luke Mullen actor from andi mack and american housewives - but i am unsure what are the guidelines about making a page for someone who isnt worldwide famous? Any tips as well? Kinda Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxwell King123321 (talk • contribs) 23:21, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * One option is make a request at Articles for creation -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 23:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * First, check to see if Luke Mullen is notable by our definition (see WP:NACTOR) by finding at least two reliable sources that support notabiliy. no article will remain on Wikipedia unless the subject is notable. This is easy to mess up: see Common sourcing mistakes (notability). If, after your research, you feel he is sufficiently notable, then make the AfC request, adding the sources, or proceed to WP:YFA and create the article yourself. If the subject is notable, we can help you from there. -Arch dude (talk) 23:42, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
