Was working a couple of weeks ago. - Scarpy (talk) 00:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I found this page: m:Talk:Flickr2Commons someone else raised this problem. There's also a thread started at the Commons help desk.  Hopefully one of those will get some answers.  RudolfRed (talk) 02:16, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Just eight minutes after posting the above, the OP posted (here) at WP:DRN, so I think we can ignore this. -- Hoary (talk) 06:08, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * IP 2600:1700:, didn't you like the response you got just above from User:Ianmacm? It would be easier for you to find your questions again if you registered for a free account. Mathglot (talk) 06:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Pipelining
I'm trying to point a link in Oscar Holmes to the African Americans subsection of the World War II subsection of the United States Navy section of Racial segregation in the United States Armed Forces. Is there a way to do this? There are multiple African American (and World War II) subsections, so a simple "Racial segregation in the United States Armed Forces#African Americans" won't work.

 * Try this:Example pipe I got the section link from clicking the TOC. RudolfRed (talk) 02:12, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Our company has rebranded and changed its name
Dear All

As of today (4 September 2023), Saffery Champness has rebranded and changed its name to Saffery. We are unable to change our firm name on the Wikipedia page (the name of the page) as we don't have the right permissions. Could someone in the Wikipedia admin team please make this change? We will need to get the name of the Wikipedia page changed from 'Saffery Champness Chartered Accountants' to 'Saffery'. Please see the press release announcing the name change: Saffery Champness rebrands as Saffery - Saffery

Thank you for your help with this.

 * Hi., I have confirmed the name change at 'Find and update company information Gov.UK' , added the info to the article (Special:diff/1173786672) and moved it from Saffery Champness Chartered Accountants to Saffery. --CiaPan (talk) 11:37, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for making this change.
 * Anna Annakle (talk) 12:00, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW, how about adding a previous name somwhere into the article? It might help some readers to identify old records with a company under its new name. --CiaPan (talk) 11:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this suggestion. The information about rebranding is in the last paragraph on the page: In September 2023, Saffery Champness rebranded as Saffery. Annakle (talk) 12:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're right. How I managed to miss it when I added the reference to that sentence is beyond my comprehension. --CiaPan (talk) 16:19, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Help moving my article from Sandbox to Wikipedia.
Hi there. Any chance someone could help me move my article from my Sandbox to Wiki? I'm new here and I think I may be short on a few edits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk (talk) 16:33, 4 September 2023 (UTC)


 * New accounts cannot directly create articles, you need to submit it for a review, I've added the information to your draft so you can. 331dot (talk) 17:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk (talk) 09:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk: Your page is unlikely to be accepted with things like external links in the body, excessive use of an unreliable source like Discogs that doesn't establish the subject's wikinotability, and the light promotional tone used in it, as seen in phrases like [...] the crew secured an impressive 3rd place [...] (emphasis mine) and In 1993, Emille took upon himself the mission [...]. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 17:04, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * , I quote: I'd call that a heavy promotional tone. -- Hoary (talk) 01:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I appreciate all the feedback, I'll work on this and do more research. Thank you. Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk (talk) 09:22, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The first sentence section of the draft lists thirteen things that he does (all capitalised for no good reason), as if he were notable for all thirteen. But the body of the article provides no evidence that he's notable for any of them. Maproom (talk) 20:31, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback, I'll work on this. Much appreciated. Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk (talk) 09:23, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk I took a brief look at the draft and concluded you have a long way to go to make it acceptable. In particular, Wikipedia has a policy for biographies of living people that you should read very carefully. Almost none of your draft is cited to sources, yet the policy demands that any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there Michael, thank you for taking the time out to have a look. I'm reading through the biographies of living people guideline now and will work towards implementing this to my draft. Many thanks. Connor TheWriteGuy Newkirk (talk) 13:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Your first source (discogs) is not reliable and cannot be used, the second is a primary source and the third is written by Emile Jansen so is not independent, there is zero chance of this being accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 13:16, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
