Jayvé
Dear, A message was received that the page of Jayvé may be deleted after 7 days. Could you please confirm that the page of Jayvé is approved by Wikipedia and will be kept please? Thanks in advance, Jonathan JonathanV123 (talk) 04:05, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * No, the page has not been 'approved'. And nor will it be in the state it is in now, since it entirely fails to demonstrate that this individual meets Notability criteria, through significant coverage in independant reliable published sources. And judging by your username, you should probably read Autobiography, and the Conflict of interest policy. AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:18, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * But how to show more proof? The page is about a DJ who produced 2 famous songs. Links to the songs have been added. What else is needed? Do you need a copy of the passport of the artist? JonathanV123 (talk) 04:50, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * We don't need 'links to songs'. We need evidence that the subject of the article meets Wikipedia notability criteria. Which cannot be demonstrated through a bizarre link to a Google book search result referencing a Journal Encyclopédique from 1775. Or a link to Jayvé's YouTube channel. Or a link to an Amazon page flogging his album, even with the claim that Jeff Bezos wrote the page. Read the material you have been directed to, and come back when you can provide actual evidence of significant coverage in independent published reliable sources. AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @JonathanV123 "How to show more proof" is to study the information at the links in Andy's first reply (the words and phrases in blue). Especially "reliable published sources".  WP articles are based on what independent published sources have chosen to write.  The blue links have all the info. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 06:03, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @JonathanV123 Two questions:   Did you take that picture yourself, with your own camera; and are you writing about yourself?  Thanks. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 06:16, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Messed up infobox - Congress of Tamaulipas
The infobox at Congress of Tamaulipas is wierd with multiple occurances of "line-height:1.2em; padding:.1em 0;" that I don't understand. I don't see any issues in the parameters and the infobox itself hasn't changed recently, ideas?Naraht (talk) 06:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This is possibly due to last month's changes to the conditional logic in the Longitem template. Perhaps could take a look? -- John of Reading (talk) 07:10, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 07:56, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry to butt in. Fixed for real, now, looks like, but... I have to be honest, I don't see the point of using at all on successive, separate   rows. It's meant to be used when there are long items within a single row, such that the contents of the row (might) line-wrap. But none of these lines are wrapped, and they're all in separate cells.
 * Sets, reduced from the default  , and swaps in a   to somewhat-compensate. That leaves text within a table row less spread out, but retains the separation between rows.
 * The infobox is then overriding with, which renders the height of successive rows literally identical to where things started with.
 * The only adjustment of any real consequence that seems to come of this, in the end, is increasing the space between the "Leadership" heading and the first name (due to the  ), and really that's so minor  that it seems unnecessary.
 * If the list of leaders in "Leadership" were all in one row, as an unbulleted list, then I could see the point of applied to that entire list. But as separate rows like this? It's basically pointless, unless I'm missing something. Again, sorry to butt in, and in the end editors can of course design their articles however they please. But there's a lot of styling going on here for precious little net effect, which seems like a fiddly time-sink. FeRDNYC (talk) 10:07, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

South African Institute of Tax Professionals
Good day

I have be trying to edit the page South African Insitute of Tax Professionals, which changed its name to the South African Institute of Taxation.

I have failed at all attempts as I am not an admin of the page, where I have edited some information it always comes back to its old default page contents.

How do I navigate around this and/or fix it as I am the Head of Communications in the said institute?

Please assist. MikeSAIT (talk) 08:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * To start with, you should read WP:PAID and make the mandatory disclosure before editing any further. Once that is done, I assume your question is about South African Institute of Tax Practitioners.
 * The fact that you are the head of communications does not give you any special rights in how the article should be written. On the contrary, it means you should avoid editing the article directly yourself, because it will be hard for you to write in a neutral manner consistent with Wikipedia’s core purpose.
 * Case in point, looking at the page history, I see you have tried to edit the page, but your edit was reverted by . They did not leave an edit summary, but presumably they object to the promotional language you tried to edit in (for instance, SAIT’s mission is to uplift the profession (...) Members must adhere to a strong set of ethics (...)).
 * You should instead head over to the talk page of the article, in that case Talk:South_African_Institute_of_Tax_Practitioners, start a discussion that says explicitly what changes you want (in a "change X to Y" format, not a general "improve this section"). If you copy-paste the magic code at the top of your post there, it will bring the request to the attention of editors who patrol such requests, and make it likely that you will get a quick answer.
 * I also see that someone else, with the account name, tried to put in a similarly promotional edit before, and was similarly reverted. Given the similarities in editing timing, I suspect that person is part of your communications team. Please clarify and have them make the same WP:PAID disclosure if needed.

 * @MikeSAIT: As you are part of the institute you have a paid relationship and must disclose said relationship, which is usually done on your user page at User:MikeSAIT. You should also not directly edit the article because of this, and instead make edit requests on the article's talk page at Talk:South African Institute of Tax Practitioners. Also keep in mind that article subjects generally use the common name they're known by in reliable sources. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 09:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Ronny Numa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roni_Numa

Hello, The name is wrong The right is Ronny Numa. Rubidresler (talk) 08:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * There is always the possibility of variation in transliterating a name from a differnt script, but all the English sources cited spell his name as "Roni" not "Ronny". Unless you can cite Reliable source that names him as "Ronny", your changes are inappropriate, and I will be reverting them. ColinFine (talk) 10:14, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Telephone update
Greetings How do I update the telephone contacts on attached? I would like to change the current Tel. number to 0711 024747



Kind Regards, Doris Mwirigi. Doris Mwirigi (talk) 09:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Doris Mwirigi If you are talking about our article Kenya Airways it does not have a telehone number to update, as we do not put telephone numbers in our articles. If you are not talking about our article, we probably can't help you, as this is just the help desk for the English Wikipedia. - Arjayay (talk) 09:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

hi
We note in section where you show Newspapers in Ireland our paper Dublin Gazette has now been entered and we arfe in exisitnece for clsoe to 20 yeras-- Please place in section where you have FREESHEETS and incoude our title please thanks

Dublin Gazette inclusion in Newspapers in ireland 89.100.165.58 (talk) 10:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a directory of businesses where mere existence warrants a mention; it is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability, such as the definition of a notable organization. To be included in a list, there must already be an article about your newspaper. You should not be the one to write it, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 10:10, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @331dot. The list article Newspapers in Ireland has dozens of redlinks and content with no evidence of notability, especially in the section on closed newspapers. As such it may need extensive clean-up per WP:STAND, although there are exceptions mentioned at WP:LISTCOMPANY. The Dublin Gazette has an entry with inline citation to its own website but it is not clear what the IP is asking for since there is no separate "freesheets" section. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * A freesheet is another name for a free newspaper or other similar periodical, like this one. Maybe they assumed Wikipedia has a classified ad section? Sumanuil. 02:16, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

AN/ANI vs AIV
Hello! I'm curious, when is it appropriate to take a user who has a clear misunderstanding of WIkipedia's policies to AN/ANI compared to AIV? Would much rather not point any fingers as that's rather rude, but I will say if it is important to know to answer my question. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * AIV is for clear vandalism/disruption/spamming. If the issue is anything else, it should go to ANI. 331dot (talk) 13:40, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Slatersteven being insulting and rude
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:76.142.93.168 Slatersteven is being insulting, condescending and rude. I need assistance. 76.142.93.168 (talk) 14:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The correct place to report a user is wp:ani, I would advise against it. Slatersteven (talk) 14:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Fine. Close this, I give up. You cyberbullies win. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.142.93.168 (talk) 15:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Removing italic from title
The title for the article Temple of Dendur is in italic. As suggested by another editor on the talk page, this is in error. I found instructions on how to add italic a title, but not how to remove it. Any suggestions Rublamb (talk) 21:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Rublamb! It's being italicized because Template:Infobox artwork does so automatically. You can end this automatic behavior by adding  as an infobox parameter. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Well that was easy. Thanks so much. Rublamb (talk) 21:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

What does it mean when all edit revisions on an article are marked with blue?
Hey. I am unfamiliar with this concept and I am therefore curious on what the purpose of it is, or what it symbolizes. Thanks. 12u (talk) 21:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @12u, I think you're referring to an article that's been placed under WP:PENDING. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This seems to be correct. Thanks for answering my question. 12u (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
