Irrelevant Links and Cites

Hi ash! Thanks for the welcome. I noticed many <ref> tags and links pointing to irrelevant content on many pages. Also there are { cites } which should ideally be in the ==External Links== sections, if at all. Can you please tell me how to mark them for review by admins/more experienced editors? TechXcell (talk) 05:56, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello @TechXcell! Sorry for not having responded earlier. Nevertheless, you can edit or delete the unrelated contents and links on your own. It isn't really required to mark them for review by reviewers or skilled contributors. If you have any difficulty, let me know or you might ask help here. I also suggest you to create your own userpage. --115ash 08:01, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Used Misplaced Pages for years, but never contributed before. Finding my way round the protocols - thanks for your welcome and I hope to contribute more in the future.Bedford67 (talk) 09:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks and I need help.

Hi, I'm not used to this, and so I appreciate any help you could give me. An editor indicated that my new citations on the Andrew R. Heinze page were messed up. I'm not sure what is wrong with them, but it's probably something for sure. Maybe I should have answered the person who flagged them, but I don't know if that's the way I should do it (and I don't know how to do that anyway). I DID read all about how to do all this stuff, but it seems so mysterious, I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Thanks so much.EastDimeBoxFrank (talk) 08:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello @EastDimeBoxFrank. Most of your references were independent sources. Please read --> WP:RELY. I recommend you to create a new section to Talk:Andrew R. Heinze, so the problems may be resolved. --115ash 14:57, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi (I couldn't figure out how to put your name in here), Thanks for your comment. I just did as you suggested and created a new section on the Andrew R Heinze talk page. As I said on that new talk section, I feel bad about messing up the Andrew R Heinze Wiki article because it didn't have flags on it before I added the new citations. An article with flags on it looks bad. (I guess it's true, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.") In any event, now I want to make it good. So... can I take my mistakes one by one (on that talk page) and correct each one? You said that most of my references were independent sources... that's good, right? EastDimeBoxFrank (talk) 19:22, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Right now I am improving a bunch of the sources on Andrew R. Heinze... including sources that came from other people. They were probably good once, but when I looked, they were dead. EastDimeBoxFrank (talk) 22:08, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Improvement of Andrew R. Heinze article sources.

Dear 115ash, Could we move our conversation about improving the Andrew R. Heinze sources to the article talkpage? That way I won't miss anything. I just found out that would be a helpful thing for me to do. EastDimeBoxFrank (talk) 23:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

• I just wanted to say a quick hello and to tell you that I'm moving ahead and learning a lot from some wonderful Wiki editors. DimeBoxFrank (talk) 07:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

If you have any problem, don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! --115ash 13:57, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Need advice about uploaded photo

Hello, 115ash,

I need help in getting a photo I have already uploaded into Misplaced Pages Commons to show up on a Misplaced Pages page.

The page is for Leif Erland Andersson, planetary astronomer. It may be only because I have not yet been registered for ten days.

Thanks, Antynome112233 (talk) 17:43, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Antynome112233, as Ip 62.107.222.74 said, you forgot ".jpg" and "File". However, it wasn't enough. That article contains a lot of mistakes, and it must include the infobox. --115ash 09:14, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome

I have been here 8 years, but no one has ever seemed this friendly. I often wondered if I was editing things correctly. I am trying to edit Parviz Gharib-Afshar, and I am noticing that a lot of the links on his page are expired. Should they be removed? I am not finding better sources of information to link. Sepideh (talk) 10:04, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

That article has been nominated for deletion. --115ash 14:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi 115ash

Thanks for the welcome !- I set up a complete new page about the story of a church ( all facts) and have been deleted for advertising, I have enquired of the person that deleted the page so I can review and correct, bit harsh as this is my very first go at Wiki and I cant see how the history of Church is advertising ! but perhaps this is the process to go through to learn how it all works but thanks to you for the welcome!

Leonardo da Vinci

Yeah, that works. I have. Been away for a couple of months, in the process of organising a remove to the other side of the planet. My library is at present somewhere on the high seas. I approach Misplaced Pages with a sense of trepidation after an absence. Leonardo da Vinci is a particular target. It is always good to return and find articles not simply intact but genuinely improved. Amandajm (talk) 02:19, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Need Help

Hi Ash

Can you help me regarding the article that I created. It says it requires notability. Can you explain and help me to make it more informative and pass general guidelines.

Thank You.

--talibong (talk) 10:34, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi @talibong. I just edited that article, which seems to be written as an advertisement. Someone can even nominate it for deletion. Try to find and add some reliable sources. --115ash

Hi Ash

Thanks for the help. I will rewrite this one.

Hi Ash I have updated the ikoala page by adding more infos and business model. Can you have a look on it. Thanks

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Asian American#Radical infobox changes. Thanks. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:33, 24 October 2014 (UTC)Template:Z48

Here User:RightCowLeftCoast asked me for assistance regarding what he described as "a potentially disruptive editor", speaking of your edits which are the topic of this talk page section. I have not looked at the edits themselves, but I do see (UTC times)

• 15:25, October 20, 2014‎: last of a series of five unexplained edits to the article by you
• 06:12, October 23, 2014: a revert by RightCowLeftCoast, saying "reverted bold edits per WP:BRD; no consensus to radically alter lead or infobox, lead and infobox represent all significant/largest population Asian American populations; edits had given undue weight to South Asian Americans"
• 08:36, October 23, 2014‎: last of a series of three edits by you with individual explanatory summaries
• 19:25, October 24, 2014‎ reversion by RightCowLeftCoast, saying "reverted bold change, no consensus on talk page, see consensus built here Talk:Asian American/Archive 7#Infobox ethnicity representatives)
• 19:31, October 24, 2014: creation of a talk page section by RightCowLeftCoast, at Talk:Asian American#Radical infobox changes with initial content explaining his objections to your edits and asking that you discusss the matter there and not begin an edit war
• 19:33, October 24, 2014: an invitation here (above) by RightCowLeftCoast for you to join a discussion at Talk:Asian American#Radical infobox changes
• 11:26, November 3, 2014: last of a series of three edits by you (two explained, one not)
• 00:08, November 4, 2014‎: revertion by RightCowLeftCoast, saying "reverted bold change, no consensus on talk page, see consensus built here Talk:Asian American/Archive 7#Infobox ethnicity representatives"
• 00:21, November 4, 2014: Request for assistance on my talk page RightCowLeftCoast

I have fumbled around a bit putting that timeline together, but I think I have it right. Please discuss this at Talk:Asian American#Radical infobox changes to build a consensus for your desired changes.

Please note, without accusing anyone of amything, I ask that both editors involved here review Misplaced Pages:Tendentious editing#Characteristics of problem editors. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:02, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Bingo! Nice summary and one worth gazing in a figurative "objectivity" mirror! At any given time we can all plunge fromr objectivity, a fact based world, into passion or special pleading. It is to be feared! Palmeira (talk) 04:21, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks and Question

Hi there!

I created a page for architect/scholar A. Lawrence Kocher and it's now pending review. Is there any way I could get someone to check it out while I'm waiting, so I can continue to improve and edit the page?

Thanks so much! Lufiona14 (talk) 15:39, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Lufiona14. That article is good enough and it has been created. Now you can start to ameliorate it. 115ash 11:19, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Awesome!! Thanks! --Lufiona14 (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi 115ash, I just created another page for a firm called STUDIO V Architecture. I have the same question - any way I could get feedback while I'm waiting in queue so I can continue to improve and edit my page? Thanks so much! Lufiona14 (talk) 23:10, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello @Lufiona14. That article is better than the previous one, it contains several reliable sources. I think you could create it directly. However, something need to be improved. As regards this "Jay Valgora", it had to be created separately. I don't know why you have submitted it alongside "STUDIO V Architecture". 115ash 15:41, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi 115ash -- Hm I actually only intended to create STUDIO V Architecture (Not the Jay Valgora) at this time, so posting only STUDIO V would be great. Could you tell me how to create it directly? I asked the wiki chatroom a few days ago but couldn't figure it out. Thanks again, so much! Lufiona14 (talk) 18:23, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Just click here, and then you'll understand.115ash 12:28, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to be so blunt towards the previous user who removed my post

Hi 115 Ash, Sorry to be so blunt towards the previous user who removed my post. But I am very proud about what I said, and I would love for the Internet users of the world to be aware of the physical obstacles that arise for beginners. Sorry if this seems a bit much, but I am quite hurt and mystified as to why I was not allowed to post an insightful comment. Thank you x Twerkobama (talk 14:27, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Rewriting History

Sir, I am a war veteran cavalry officer, wounded and decorated for valour in war of which I have fought two, and have been actively involved in counter insurgency operations. I left service due to injuries sustained both during war and peace. I commanded an Armoured Regiment and resigned my commission. Part of the reason was the blatant way history was twisted with lies and half truths. List of true and unsung heroes is long. I want your views if, with the available new information from the media and now declassified information, it is time to rewrite History true to as it actually happened. You have recently removed small but very relevant changes I made on the Longowala operations and 1961 Goa Operations. regards Colonel Jai Jind (talk 15:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

@Colonel Jai Jind, on an encyclopedia like Misplaced Pages you should not include those things. The anti-vandalism tool has identified all of them as vandalism. Nevertheless. I am welcoming you to make worthwhile edits --115ash 16:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
