Unusual wikipedia page

To whome whoever is reading this I have come across quite an unusual wikipedia article under the title Chelsea Dickenson. The page, although meant for Chelsea, gives a brief biography of Namunswa Alma D, who if my math is correct, is not Chelsea Dickensen (they call me Sherlock Holmes). Also, the sources are odd, and the titles are not very neutral. I did a bit of digging, and I struggled to find any reliable sources or any sources really at all about this person at all.

Considering I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing, I was not sure how to approach this situation or who I should talk too so I decided to contact an administrator. If this is the wrong place to talk about this, please let me know. Joecompan (talk) 09:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

I have fixed the article. It seems someone replaced the article not that long ago with an article about themselves. Happy editing, Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 10:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Yeah completely agree. I just created it via the Australia wikiproject thing not realising it just automatically makes the page. As I said in the edit summary it was meant to be a draft. I am currently working on it. Joecompan (talk) 03:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Broc (talk) 10:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@Broc oh shiiii my bad. That was unintentional. I tried to paraphrase but I obviously didn't do it well enough. I apologise for the inconvenience it won't happen again. Happy to rewrite it if need be. Again sorry bro. Joecompan (talk) 10:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

We take copyright issues very seriously on Wikipedia, but I understand it is a rather complex topic. To simplify to its very core: don't copy a source and try to change a few words (see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing), rather read the source and rewrite the sentence entirely in your own words.

Once you've rewritten the text, let me know. I will run it through Earwig and remove the copyvio template accordingly. Broc (talk) 10:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks bro working on it right now. I will get it back to you ASAP. Joecompan (talk) 10:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@Broc I have rewritten it. Let me know if there are any issues more than happy to help out. Sorry for putting you through this lol my bad. Joecompan (talk) 12:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

No worries. I requested revision deletion for the edit history containing the copyright violations, an administrator will have to process it, it could take some time. Broc (talk) 12:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Broc appreciate it bro. Joecompan (talk) 13:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Style suggestions

Hi, just thought I'd write down three recommendations from the Wikipedia:Manual of Style:

• MOS:DATES January 13 not January 13th
• MOS:DASH 50–100 not 50-100; note the en dash instead of the hyphen symbol, which can be added using {{ndash}}
• MOS:UNIT 10 cm not 10cms; note the non-breaking space between the number and the unit, which can be added with {{nbsp}}, and no plural "s"

To be used in your current and future articles :) Broc (talk) 07:24, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks man much appreciated! You've been a great help. Joecompan (talk) 07:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome.
