Mary Paley Marshall - correct the grammar.
Please fix the grammar in the Mary Paley Marshall page in the section where this sentence appears: "Shortly after in 1879 Alfred and her both wrote The Economics of Industry." The wording should be "Shortly after in 1879 Alfred and SHE both wrote The Economics of Industry." Thank you. Jean Montgomery

Aavas Financiers Wikipedia Page is in Draft
Dear Team,

My name is Brijesh Kumar, on behalf of Aavas Financiers Limited. Our page was live with URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aavas_Financiers

One day our page was not available, I have no idea what exactly went wrong with the page.

Regards, Brijesh Kumar
 * First off, you need to declare your paid affiliation with Aavas Financiers Limited on your user page. You may use paid to do so. Second, the corporation doesn't appear to be pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines for corporations, so it will most likely not make articlespace. — Tenryuu 🐲  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 05:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, . The article was moved to draft space a week ago, with the comment " moved page Aavas Financiers to Draft:Aavas Financiers: Corporate article with referencing and POV concerns, incubate in draftspace". The problems MrsSnoozyTurtle identified are mentioned at the top, with link to pages explaining them; once you have made the necessary declarations as mentioned by Tenryuu, you may address these issues and submit the draft for review. Please not that it is not and never will be "your page": it is Wikipedia's article about your company, and it does not belong to you and is not controlled by you. --ColinFine (talk) 12:42, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Mobile logs?
Why can't I access logs from a phone? On my PC, I can go to Special:Log to search public logs (Deletion Logs, etc). But on my Samsung S9+ I just get the error message "No apps can perform this action". This is the same whether I use Chrome browser, or even the Wikipedia app itself - surely that should be able to open that page if anything can! But it gives the same error. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a problem that I should report somewhere, or is this working as designed for some reason?--Gronk Oz (talk) 05:32, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know if this is an error or not, but I do know that the app and mobile version do not have the full functionality of the desktop version(at least in ease of use). 331dot (talk) 09:24, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , you can access the fully functional desktop site on mobile devices by scrolling to the very bottom of the screen, and clicking the "Desktop" link. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  16:35, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Koreatown, Long Island
Koreatown, Long Island should be Koreatown, Queens, NY. Long Island is not a borough of New York.
 * You are correct. I moved it to Koreatown, Queens to accord with all the other articles in Category:Neighborhoods in Queens, New York. Herostratus (talk) 11:59, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, after looking into it more, it's not necessarily clear what the best title is, but on consideration it looks like "Koreatown, Queens" is still the best title. There's more on the article talk page. Herostratus (talk) 12:56, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

How to create new content?
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you on behalf of my leadman Schobert Norbert (at Norbi Update® Low Carb Inc. Hungary) We are eager to how to create new english content for wikipedia.org. We are asking your contribution because we planned to update the hungarian Wikipedia article about Schobert Norbert (https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schobert_Norbert) who is a well known hungarian businessman and celebrity, but the admins refused to cooperate. We were ready to provide proof that Norbi himself was our source, but this was not considered authentic enough by the site and our request was denied. Is it possible to create new, non - localized but translated (english) and extended content for Norbert on wikipedia.org? If it's possible could you please provide me the details on how to create english content for Norbert? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norbi1971 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears that you are a Paid Editor. Under English Wikipedia Policy, paid editing constitutes a conflict of interest and is highly discouraged. Wikipedia is also not a soapbox or means of promotion. Please disclose your status as a paid editor per WP:DISCLOSE. Padgriffin  Griffin's Nest 12:23, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * , like many people, you are mistaking Wikipedia for a promotion outlet. If at some time English Wikipedia has an article about Norbert, the article will not belong to Norbert, will not be controlled by Norbert, will be able to be edited by nearly anybody in the world except Norbert and his associates, and should be based nearly 100% on what people unconnected with Norbert have published about him. I'm not surprised the Hungarian admins rejected your submission, because Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. --ColinFine (talk) 12:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

How to list my startup page
Hello, I want my startup page to be published on wikipedia. Please help me with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.139.232.214 (talk)
 * Wikipedia is not a place for companies, be it "startups" or otherwise, to tell the world about themselves or enhance their search results. "Startups" rarely meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.  You should also review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal declarations. 331dot (talk) 12:32, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Deletion request
I am in the process of nominating the article on Ana Vives Casas for deletion. I think I must be doing something wrong, for it has not come up at Articles for deletion. Does any one have any advice on how I can nominate an article for deletion successfully? Many thanks, Rollo August (talk) 16:54, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hopefully someone here can fix that for you. For the future, I recommend starting afd:s with WP:TWINKLE, even I managed. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:05, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Rollo August If like me you don't do twinkle you can follow Articles for deletion. There are three templates and I redid the second and added the third. I advise previewing each template and checking the instructions if the page doesn't look right. TSventon (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You deserve a temla. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. The request seems to be in Articles for deletion now, so many thanks for your help. Rollo August (talk) 09:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
