Wordsmith Needed
The cousin article went through a lot of revisions to consolidate information and reduce the desire to make the article a list of examples. Now its content is OKish but it requires someone of some talent to go through it and wordsmith it a bit. How do I go about finding someone. It seems like most people on wiki just fight perceived vandalism, and not many dedicate there time to make constructive edits.198.151.8.4 (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

My article could not get any publishment process since more than 1 month
Hi Dear Editor,
I think I am sure that my article has no problem and fits the regulations and rules of wikipedia, however it did not get any publication process.
Could you check it for me, I posted the link below
My best regards

- I can see no evidence that the page has been submitted for review. By the way, what is the subject's name? Your sandbox variously gives it as "TAS" and "Tas", while some of the sources cited give "Taş". Maproom (talk) 21:36, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Intellectualwriter, you have not submitted the article for review. However, since it is a spamvertisement, it would be declined anyway (and I'm about a hot second away from just hitting the G11 button myself, to be quite honest). You would need to fix that first. Wikipedia does not permit advertising or promotion. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Intellectualwriter: I just made some improvements to User:Intellectualwriter/sandbox (the link you give above), only to find you have a copy of that page at Draft:Suleyman Tas. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:31, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi all, can I bring your attention to my latest comment on the talk page of Andrew Peach? I have been fobbed off before being told self-promotion isn't a issue with this article, but have since made a discovery. I believe most of the information on the article has been "bigged up" more than it should have been. Possibly not all true? This article seems to be ore of a presenter's CV than anything else. Also, most of the links are dead! Any help would be gratefully received! - Funky Snack (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:52, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Graphing data pulled from wikidata
I'm helping an editor set up a graph for coronavirus cases. Is there a way to pull data from Wikidata instead of coding it into the article with {{Graph:Chart}}? ☆ Bri (talk) 19:41, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Bri, there doesn't seem to be a way. The template {{Graph:Lines}} was written to support using data from Wikidata. However using a wikidata query no longer works and, according to the phab ticket linked to from the template page, doesn't seem to be getting fixed. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:05, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Bri, you might want to look into putting the data on Commons. Graph:Lines can display data that is in a table on Commons. The first example in the template documantation takes its data from Commons at c:Data:Bls.gov/US Women's weekly earnings as a percent of men's by age, annual averages.tab. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:28, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks StarryGrandma, I've started to play with graphs at Talk:2020 coronavirus pandemic in Washington (state)/sandbox. Another editor wants to see something more like Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/United States/New York State medical cases chart. We'll see what we can do, I guess. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:18, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Need help with Pat Day page
An editor or series of editors have done a character assassination piece on Pat Day, one of the greatest jockeys who ever lived.
Each time I add important achievements of his and take out mean-spirited, hateful and one-sided attack pieces, all of my edits are removed.
I need help in protecting my edits.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Nathan — Preceding unsigned comment added by NatroneDay (talk • contribs) 23:17, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- @NatroneDay:, before proceeding with any further edits, to the Pat Day page or anywhere else, I highly recommend that you read the following links on the Core Content Policies and the Contributing to Wikipedia pages. The text you are removing looks like an over-reaction to the criticism in the lead paragraph. Any biography of a living person on Wikipedia must have all statements sourced but statements that do have a source are usually retained. The correct thing to do is not to keep making the same edits (that's called edit warring and can lead to blocking your ability to edit the project), but to use the article talk page. Every article has a talk page where you can discuss what you think is problematic about the article and reach an agreement with other editors. This is a normal, even vital, part of editing articles about people. I hope this helps and is not overwhelming. Please feel free to contact me at my talk page if you have any further questions.

Request for Editor Review of Credit Union National Association Page
Hi,
On January 27, we offered suggested edits to the Credit Union National Association page through the talk feature to avoid any appearance of tampering with our own entry, but it does not appear that these edits have been reviewed or incorporated to date.
Would an editor mind reviewing the recommended edits and either accepting them or providing feedback in the immediate future?
Thanks, --CUNA News (talk) 14:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Help with Wheely article
Hello! My name is Elena and I work for Wheely. I made an account here to propose updates to the company's page, which I've been posting at Talk:Wheely for editors to review. So far I've identified some grammatical issues, an inaccurate company description, and poorly sourced text. I've reached out to several WikiProjects and editors, and even tried using the edit request template, but feedback has been very limited. Are you editors here able to come over and assist? I hope this is an appropriate venue to ask for help, and thank you. Elena Wheely (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
confusing information - request for full protection to page
On behalf of the Norman Petty Estate / Norman Petty Studios LLC we had previously requested a lock to the wiki page for producer Norman Petty as it is frequently changed erroneously and replaced with slanderous information by Buddy Holly fans, to the point of defamation. This page has no reason to be edited whatsoever and we are requesting it to be locked or "full protection" against any further or future editing.

Battle and destruction of Tripoli International airport 2013 - 2014
Dear Editors, Please help me edit this page: Battle of of the Airport: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tripoli_Airport And this page: The actual airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripoli_International_Airport
Due to the controversial nature of this Battle, in it being a Barbaric assault on a Civilian airport, I would kindly like to ask for editing support from any other responsible editor who is in good conscience of writing detailed, exact, and truthful information about the battle. Users have edited constructively, however because of political vandals, they had destroyed bits of information very crucial to this event.
We are talking about The Tripoli central and International Airport. 10-11 Planes missing, Infrastructure Damage, Oil and Fuel destruction. Black plumes in the sky, Environment pollution, and most important civilian casualties. This should be constituted without a doubt as a Warcrime, but because this information hasnt seeped out as much, it is being forgotten, and the Billions of Dollars in damage gone.
I need your help to edit this page to what it should be. "Detailed and Concise". And preferably, Edit protected from further editing by trolls. Thank you very much! Biomax20 (talk) 04:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
P.S. I heard plenty of shelling the entire month to know for sure that the airport was intentionally cratered with Artillery in the most barbaric of ways one can imagine. And if anyone remembers, The Geneva conventions clearly state that this is a Factual, Documentable War Crime. It has resulted in the destruction of Libyan peoples welfare and has made us more destitute over the petty squables, agendas of very vile criminals. Moreover, the very brazen idea that they can just omit such a huge event, such as an attack on a civilian airport, is shocking to me. I cannot edit all these articles on my own!!!
Source Editor looks like Visual Editor?
Hi everyone,
recently I installed a bunch of scripts and ever since I've done that, my source editor looks like the visual editor, but still uses wikitext, I've tried disabling individual scripts, but to no avail. Can someone help? Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 15:31, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
