2342:. It sounds like you're doing a great job, and it's is a very sensible approach to fix simple things you can, learning as you go. (I'm still learning, too.) I am a bit surprised to hear you blaming 'bots and admins', though, for the problems you see. Are you really sure? These are the good guys here, and rarely foul up if citations are provided to support legitimate changes. I'd be happy to look at the page histories of particular articles for you, if you wish to let me know your concerns. Normally, bots only reverse bad faith edits like vandalism, so that's worth looking into. Are you sure genuine 'admins' have made those poor edits? (There is a way to highlight which editors are actually admins - as it's easy to assume one person is when they're not at all, though to do that you have to install a little script which might sound a bit fiddly and unnecessary for you. Nowadays the selection process for admins is extremely tough, and they're hot on spotting errors that other editors make. Sometimes another editor can think a person has made a bad edit, then be shown to be wrong. (I've done that myself -and it's horrible to cause upset to a constructive editor, or damage to an article.) Again, these edits (even the wrong ones) are usually done in good faith, so it's worth alerting the editors concerned. Other times it's a case of one or another editor not following the normal way or working, or perhaps being over-possessive of the content of an article, not liking it when another editor comes in making changes. But no-one owns articles here. What I would advise is that, even if you're unsure how best to make specific edits, do raise concerns over wrong reverts or subsequent edits, either with the editor(s) concerned, or on the article's talk page as you did with TWW. I'm happy to take a quick look at anything for you if you wish to get back in touch. Regards, 905:. Can you sort this out, please? If it's not important, either leave it out or just say what her mother tongue actually is. (providing it's stated in the relevant references.) You will see I have also taken the liberty or slightly rewording your DYK 'hooks' to enhance the English, and to clarify that she is actually a midwife - and not a postman delivering parcels for free!! I did wonder whether the word "traditional" in every hook is essential. I would be grateful if you would now go through both the DYK hook wording I've modified and, of course, the article itself to ensure that every single sentence is fully supported by an appropriate reference in which that fact is clearly given. If not- cut it out. I am really very pleases you've done this - DYK nominations are not at all easy to grasp. Don't be disappointed if someone criticises the article, but do be ready to address any concerns they may raise. You will find that someone will probably 3027: 1246:- thank you very much for contacting me, and welcome to Knowledge. I'm very sorry, but I would expect someone who is keen to be adopted and to learn how to contribute constructively to Knowledge to be willing to dedicate far more than the "2 hours", which you have apparently allocated to the task. I am very willing to work and guide new but serious editors who have already demonstrated via some of their past editing a genuine desire to volunteer their time to building this encyclopaedia. Their interests and mine also need to match - and you can read more about my adoption criteria at 3177:

bored by the fact of not being able to finish rendering this service (the page on the French wiki has been realized but it is only half of the work). It is a service rendered. I did the same for Alain Dieckhoff, current director of CERI Sciences Po, a few years ago on wikipedia and it didn't cause so many problems. I think we're going to give up wikipedia and C Jaffrelot's page on the English wiki has its old information and its outdated bibliography. It does not seem to me that we can get along. Juchie G

stumbling block - if you choose to go ahead I will support you in working on this. (Your English is fine for normal articles, but needs just a little bit of extra help to bring it to a standard for the front page of Knowledge for half a day and to get thousands of hits.) What you need to ensure is that no-one can challenge anything in your article. What you would have to commit to is taking your time to read, understand and follow all the guidance and instructions at

I think this is probably the most useful as I've not got a clue what Pacific Time is in my lozal zone, and vice versa. We all sign with UTC, so knowing that someone who I've contacted in that time zone might well be in bed asleep whilst I'm up and active is most helpful. I trust you'll choose one that helps others, too. Regards from UTC+1 here in England, 2432:, I had thought you were referring to problem admins and bot issues here on Knowledge, when it was on the Quora website. It's a relief we're not causing you the problems, though it sounds like you do have your work cut out over there. It's nice that you want to focus on your home city of Bradford. I only know it a little bit from having spent 5 years in nearby Huddersfield. Any time you need help here, do come back to the Teahouse. Regards, 4702: 3491: 2838: 2822: 2799: 2109: 2093: 2070: 1554: 1538: 1510: 576: 560: 447: 234: 296: 4492: 4514: 178: 1299:. Thank you for the note. Please accept my commiserations for your recent loss. I wish you well in your new job at Kedy Road Tech (as we used to call it). It doesn't happen to be connected to Biosciences does it, by any chance? I happen to know one or two of the staff in that section. I will certainly keep you informed if there are further events planned - either there or elsewhere in the city. Regards, 1394:, as you'll have seen, I think the template was OK to remove. I've slightly altered your article and removed full date of birth. Unless this is a widely known and published fact, our policy is to not give complete details of day/month of birth for living people. Whilst I did not check all the references, I couldn't see this information easily, so decided to leave it out. Does that sound OK? (See 122: 4432: 114: 1683: 4806:, thanks for stopping by, and a belated welcome to Knowledge. (I've merged your two questions into one, if that's OK) Although you could have easily done it yourself simply by editing the sandbox page, I have removed the redirect command from your sandbox for you. You can have more than one sandbox if you need them, just by adding a number or word to the url in your browser, like this 3208:. I'm sorry you are bored here. Personally, I find Knowledge amazingly exciting. I suggest the simplest way (that won't involve you in too much work) is just to leave a note on the Talk Page (with links to sources) to request editors to make the necessary changes for you. Unlike you, we are all volunteers here, so edits are made when people are interested enough to make them. Regards, 2278:. At the time I first created the article, I knew that electronarcosis had medical uses, and I soon found some medical articles linked to it. As I was preparing to fix the problem, you reviewed the article and fixed the problem for me. Thanks. I have now expanded the article into a neuroscience stub. Please take a look. Thanks for your many other contributions to wikipedia. 2374:. There's also locked topics like the 'BBC' which is a mess, but I've managed to fix most of it's child topics. One of these admins is from Australia and doesn't know the difference between English Villages, Towns, Cities, Districts, Counties, Regions, National Parks etc but she's messed around with them anyway. I'll be fixing them once I'm happy the Film and TV topics are fixed. 973:. I shall be delighted if your article does make the DYK slot in due course, and you'll definitely deserve a barnstar if it does! I think you made exactly the right choice in your edit about her language. Keeping things short and factual is the watchword here. By the way, if you have a particular interest in creating articles about Indian women, you might like to know about the 706:. I was aware of that, however AnandaTV does yield some results on Google, so may be noteworthy. This was more of a prompt to the article creator to pull their finger out and add some content or see the page disappear if they do not. You may remove my PROD notice and AfD it if you wish, but for this page I did not feel that action was in the Project's best interests. Regards, 1364:? I'm stuck with "More footnotes" and "BLP sources" tags. Can you explain me what is wrong with this article? Today I added more footnotes and several new references, but I don't know if it's enough for now. And the same question for "BLP sources" - it says that article needs additional references. But there're 14 of them. Is it enough to remove this tag? 1280:

It did sound interesting. As it happens, I am starting a new job next week which is located on the university campus; I might be interested in taking part in future events, but as the job is of the 9 to 5 variety, I would only be available to contribute if there was anything taking place in the evenings or at weekends. Do keep me updated anyway.

not signing it according to one comment. But another mentions something to do with the date, so maybe I uploaded a copy by mistake rather than the original photo file. I just wanted it uploaded at the time as it didn't have a picture back then, and I didn't have a computer so didn't have time to waste in the library editing Knowledge.

2305:'The Worst Witch (1998 TV series)' was one of the subjects I came across on there so I fixed that, then I noticed 'The Worst Witch (children's book series)' had a picture of 9 books, yet the Knowledge article said there were only 7. That's how I found out there were now officially 8 books in the series, plus 2 spin-off books. 3617:

But I don't think you need me. The one thing you could either suggest they do - or offer to do it for them - is to help by putting this

2969: 2684:, I've signed up now, and have added a few tweaks and thoughts. Well done on rebooting this. Can I point out that I was extremely confused by what you're asking when you say 'inspect it to see if it is completed' Can you expand on what is meant by 'completed' and what you want from editors? regards, 3985:

I'd be happy to help and support you if I can (assuming you're still interested.) It would be on an informal piecemeal manner, with you approaching me with a range of questions, or seeking guidance and advice as needed, rather than me offering you a structured training programme. How does that sound?

hi. I wanted to ask would it be okay if I could please reformat my signature, in the talk page section above? I don't mind the section being here, obviously, but I don't want everyone's eye to be immediately drawn to my own signature. I would simply remove the bold font and the emoji, just to make it

3636:

Thank you for taking a look. I'm also not too sure about the subject's notability, but I felt that directly pointing this out might be taken the wrong way and cause the discussion to spiral out of control.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one.

Right, I've taken a look now, and drunk my coffee. I don't think I should add anything more as they would probably feel a bit overwhelmed by a second, unknown person weighing in.

How am I meant to prove that photo was taken by me? Take a photo of myself taking the photo?

about not using that script in lead paragraphs and infoboxes.

the deletion notice suggests either the file was probably corrupted or was from a description on commons. When these things happen, it's always worth contacting the deleting administrator for an explanation. I suggest you try uploading the image again, or even just to Knowledge via the'Upload file'

bots keep messing them up repeatedly. For example there was a topic named "BBC TV Shows" which included ITV shows, Channel 4 shows, E4 shows, and even an NBC show, which had all been added by an admin from India, so I removed them...Then the bots put them back. So I decided to change the topic name

That's an interesting question, and odd to see.

Hi! So On the Test Knowledge, I used rollback to revert an lta's edit, they added the word "test" on every page they vandalise, My reason for using rollback is that it's a bad-faith edit, and an LTA edit. I wanted to know if this is valid use of rollback (since I used it twice) before proceeding.

Humour works best when you don't need to explain that it is humour, yet at the same time it communicates a point in a gentle manner whilst also being pretty apparent that it is indeed humour. It's when you have to explain, flag, template, delete or apologise for it that you know you've messed up

Well done for doing this, and thank you for letting me know. I've now gone through your article and tidied it up quite a bit. I must politely but firmly 'tell you off' for a little bit of 'copy/pasting' from newspaper articles which I had not spotted at first - this is really not an OK practice

Yes, but TV shows do get repeated. often after many years, so I can see why it's inadvisable to say 'was' in that regard. Just like a film - it still exists somewhere in the archives. Maybe those in black and white might be less likely to be shown, so 'was' might be more relevant. eg
