Administrator elections

Sorry for stealing your question at one of the candidates' pages. Had I known you were going to ask every candidate a similar question, I would have asked something else. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:10, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha no problem, I saw you'd already asked it so I got to skip one! —Ganesha811 (talk) 01:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew

Question from Sakariya Hagarlaawe (15:06, 27 October 2024)

Hello Mentor. How can I make wikipedia page for my School Teacher. --Sakariya Hagarlaawe (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would not recommend trying to create an article for someone you know, as you could run afoul of our conflict of interest guidelines. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:11, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

becoming an administrator of an article

I need to make modifications to my company's page but as the administrator. The original administrator is no longer with our company and their input would be considered an IP violation. How do I go about this? Thank you. Rochellepaulet (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles are not owned by the subject/company they are about. There is no such thing as the "administrator of an article". Wikipedia articles are open to every editor, with one notable exception - editors with a COI, like you, are strongly discouraged from editing the page directly per our policies. You should instead make suggestions on the talk page. If you have questions about how this works, I encourage you to read the plain and simple COI guide here. You can also ask me. —Ganesha811 (talk) 17:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that. How do I prevent someone who is under court order to cease and desist with impacting any marketability of the products listed here? I've read the COI but it doesn't refer to legal issues. RatQueen (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As well, the edits I made were benign - adding a new product. RatQueen (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also provided a citation as requested. RatQueen (talk) 17:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia can't enforce court orders - you'd have to ask the court to step in. Your edits were mostly benign, but had a promotional tone and unencyclopedic language. This is the problem with COI edits - marketing-speak just can't help being non-neutral and unencyclopedic. You can use the WP:Edit request wizard to make requests for changes on the talk page, which other editors without a COI will then review. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thanks for the clarity there. As for our message this is regulated by the EPA. We are the only product of this nature on the market. As well we have follow the speak as required by the EPA as an exempt product (FIFRA 25(b)). These are the words they have approved. RatQueen (talk) 22:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I appreciate your help and clarifications through all of this. This is the first time I've published for a public, yet EPA regulated organization. RatQueen (talk) 22:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I'm happy to help. It's fine for you guys to use the EPA's approved wording in your own marketing, but Wikipedia is not a marketing tool. It's an encyclopedia and its articles are written in its own words, without copying from anywhere else. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November music

Thank you adding the context box to the open letter! - For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed, - well, you know ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded more pics, on a mountain in the sun above the fog. - Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hashen Fernando (01:48, 8 November 2024)

How to create my self --Hashen Fernando (talk) 01:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It's generally against Wikipedia's policies to create an article about yourself or someone you know. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:39, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hashen Fernando (03:34, 12 November 2024)

Can you create one of my articles? --Hashen Fernando (talk) 03:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! What do you mean? —Ganesha811 (talk) 00:19, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit is the subject of discussion

Thanks for the notice, weighed in. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Hennessey

Hi can you please put the Dan Hennessey page back up! It has been officially confirmed that he has died at the age 82 on November 13, 2024 and was the voice of BraveHeart Lion in the Care Bears and Chief Quimby in Inspector Gadget. https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/19/cartoon-voice-actor-dan-hennessey-dead/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/dan-hennessey-dies-voice-actor-for-care-bears-braveheart-lion-inspector-gadget-s-chief-quimby-x-men-tv-series-director-was-82/ar-AA1upfsH https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14103791/dan-hennessey-dead-82-cartoon-voice-actor.html 45.3.31.251 (talk) 14:43, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe that recent coverage has established Hennessey's notability, then you or anyone else are welcome to recreate the page. However, please note that the Daily Mail and TMZ are not generally considered reliable on Wikipedia. In addition, if the page is substantially unchanged from its prior version, it may be eligible for speedy deletion. Repeated recreations and deletions might result in the page eventually being salted, but that's not too common. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:52, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
