Trying to remove the redirect on Jason Luna's name
Jason Luna's name currently redirects to the "1 vs. 100" page. I think this redirect should be removed so that he can have his own page at some point. He has also appeared on GSN's "Masterminds" and the syndicated "25 words or less", as well as some acting projects, so the redirect is limiting in its nature. This redirect does not seem to be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:A900:47A1:D13B:A3DE:7DC:E6A2 (talk) 06:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question, please forward to customer service
Why are you allowing Barbara O'Neill character's assassination on your website. She is a naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist and a former nurse. By you allowing this unfounded information you are lying to the public. All she does is advocate for natural remedies and clean living. You know, healthy food, exercise, fresh air, sunshine etc. Please review what you are letting be published. She is a fine person and does not deserve this treatment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOThmw0e7ZM
Welcome to Wikipedia. This is a volunteer project. There is no "customer service". If you have suggestions for improving an article, start a discussion on that article's talk page.

If I search “van Gerwen” into the Wikpedia search bar it redirects me to the Michael van Gerwen page, but why does it do that when there is no redirect on that page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glen Glens (talk • contribs) 19:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Glen Glens: The mechanism to perform the redirect is at Van Gerwen. Some articles have a {{redirect}} template when they are the target of the redirect (especially if editors think that the readers may be looking for another article), but this one does not. GoingBatty (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are capitalization rules suspended if the title of a work does not follow standard rules?
Hi there, still a relatively new editor/contributor here. I was looking at the page for the album Out Here With You and noticed someone changed the name of the page to a lowercase 'w' in 'with'. As far as I can tell, 'With' is supposed to be capitalized, as that is how it is in every official release of the album (spotify, apple music, etc). I know that for stylized names of artists (like deadmau5), usually standard capitalization is followed on wikipedia, but what about published works that have a definitive title? The capitalization page was unclear on this for me. Superlucer (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Id like to replace the picture associated with my wiki page. Can I get some help in doing so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjd6060 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mjd6060: If there is an article about you on Wikipedia, you can suggest changes to it, including a change of the picture. You will first need to upload a new picture to Commons.
Here are the steps:
Take a picture of yourself. That way, you are certain that you are the owner of the copyright of the picture.
Use the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard to upload the picture to Commons. License the copyright of the picture to us under the CC-BY-SA by picking the "own work" option. Add a specific comment such as "this is a selfie. I am both the subject and the photographer". (We have too many pictures alleged to be "own work" when they are not, so folks tend to get a bit trigger-happy about deleting them.) If someone else took took the picture, ask them to upload and license the picture instead.
Go to the article's talk page and request that your new picture be added to the article. see {{request edit}}. You have a WP:COI, so please do not edit the article yourself.
Come back here if you have difficulties. -Arch dude (talk) 22:01, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a tool or bot that creates references named "auto"?
AtSaudi Arabia there are several errors showing in the reference section, such as " Cite error: The named reference auto was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." The names are auto, auto1, auto2, auto3, and auto4. Is there some tool or bot that creates references with names like this? It seems unlikely to me that a human editor would choose names like this.

Need Guidance
Hi,
I hope you are fine and doing well God Bless You. Recently I just add iCrowdNewswire in the following post/article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_press_release_agencies of Wikipedia. But without notifying me any issue some authors delete my content which is totally according to the already added companies. Please guide me about that.
Jsmith iCN From your username, I gather you are an employee of this company; please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures you must make. Regarding your question, the article you edited is not meant as a list of every such company in existence, but a list of those with Wikipedia articles. To merit an article, your company must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. As you have a conflict of interest, you should not write such article yourself. 331dot (talk) 10:17, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The definition of the word hobo.
Can you please fix the definition of the word hobo. The definition that you have up is actually referring to tramps not Hobo's. A tramp is someone who travels for work. A hobo is someone who travels by freight train to migratory work. You are not considered a hobo unless you ride freight trains.
I lived this lifestyle for over a decade. I traveled as a tramp and as a hobo. Your current definition is offensive to both tramps and Hobo's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.136.39.178 (talk) 11:09, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, in its current form the draft does not meet Wikipedia's requirements.. Your citations need to be provided as footnotes to show which parts of the text they support. You have been given links in the past to WP:Referencing for beginners, and you need to read that, and it would be wise for you to read the other useful links which you have been provided (on the draft and on your user talk page).

Thanks for your desire to improve Wikipedia, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 18:25, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just FYI for everyone, this church is attempting a "rebranding" and insisting that nobody call them Mormons anymore. When reliable sources comply with that request, Wikipedia will as well. So far, it's not really happening. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:19, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the fact of the matter is that this church itself used the term "Mormon" quite extensively until 2018. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir had worldwide fame for decades, and the church ran a multimedia campaign for years called I'm a Mormon where various celebrities extolled the virtues of being a Mormon. These are only two of countless examples. All that changed abruptly in 2018 when the 94 year old leader of the church changed his mind and suddenly rejected the word "Mormon". He then ordered all of his followers to abandon a word that many of them has embraced their entire lives. Really quite strange. Cullen328Let's discuss it 23:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

where is the official communication area or storage among users/wikipedians?
@Ktsquare: Note also that all entries in all of those "communication areas" are retrievable using the "history" of the respective pages all the way back to the creation of each page, which in some cases occurred in 2003. (Except for rare cases of revision deletion for causes including copyright violations and disclosures of personal information). I think this may be the "storage" you refer to. You are not supposed to "store" random stuff on Wikipedia's servers, but you can create subpages of your user page for stuff you are working on for inclusion in Wikipedia or related to inclusion in Wikipedia. We also have projects, and those projects have talk pages for collaboration with other Wikipedians. -Arch dude (talk) 18:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Musical scores included with optional tabs to listen to a musical sample appears to have text which "bleeds" fonts into one another. For example, the piano symbol 'p' flows or bleeds into the frame box for the musical sample box. This could be helped by adding an extra blank line judiciously between the musical scores included and their associated music sample tabs.

Nazi flag depicting German nation
To whom may concern
I was researching about disasters in the world and there is a table with a list of them with fatalities and the nations involved.
Unfortunately, the Nazi flag is wrongly put as the German flag. I would say this may be a disrespect to German people and innacurate information to the page.
I suggest to edit the mentioned flag to the proper one.
Find it in the link below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_failure#List_of_major_dam_failures
Those dam failures took place during the Nazi regime, so the Nazi flag would make sense there (especially as they failed due to being bombed). India and Canada both use their colonial flags for the Gohna Lake dam-burst and Hog's Back Dam failures, respectively, rather than their modern ones. —A little blue Boriv^_^vJéské Couriano 23:37, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
