Semi-protected edit request on 3 June 2022
DMOZ was retired on March 17, 2017, and no longer working. Remove references Seobro.agency (talk) 19:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No need. The article provides context, stating that DMOZ and the Yahoo directory were both closed. The references are historical. The article should be cleaned up but that will be a lot of work and I don't have time to work on it. But I suggest you leave some recommendations here for people to discuss/consider. Michael Martinez (talk) 21:25, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I suggest you review the Wikipedia policies. That's important, because understanding what Wikipedia IS and IS NOT helps you decide what kinds of edits are acceptable. Secondly, I suggest you request a change of username as your current username violates guidelines. You don't have to use your real name like I do (I've been on Wikipedia for a long time, and well, that's history). Once you've fixed your username you'll be allowed to edit articles that aren't semi-protected. There are levels of protection that admins can place on articles to prevent people from abusing them.
The quick primer is that Wikipedia articles should only summarize what can be found in what Wikipedia determines to be reliable sources. That means, sometimes, Wikipedia can't include some information people know to be true because there are no acceptable sources.
Before making changes you're not sure comply with Wikipedia guidelines, leave comments on the Talk pages proposing changes you think should be made. Virtually every article is on someone's watch list. We'll be notified when someone changes something we're watching. That doesn't guarantee anyone will respond but it's the best way to start. If you have questions about Wikipedia policy and practices, the best place to ask about them is at the Wikipedia Teahouse community. That's a forum where new Wikipedians can ask for help. Some of the people there are formal "hosts" (selected by the community to lead discussions at the Teahouse). So it's a moderated discussion forum.
Be advised most people use shortcodes to reference other parts of Wikipedia. I'm one of the few who rarely do that. The shortcodes start with WP: and can sometimes be a bit obscure. And welcome to Wikipedia.Michael Martinez (talk) 13:32, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
