AfD nomination of Mao Dongdong[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Mao Dongdong. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mao Dongdong. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Josette Manin[edit]

Please see User:Yameogo/Josette Manin. I've imported the fr:Josette Manin article here and moved it into your userspace, where it should stay while you translate it, since French articles aren't appropriate in mainspace. Please just move it to Josette Manin when you're done. Nyttend (talk) 16:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask for help from speakers of French; the best way would be to take the following path:
  • Go to Category:User fr and click a few names
  • Look at their userpages to find someone who's a decently good speaker of French and English via userboxes that they have on their userpages; the numbers go from "fr-1" to "fr-5", with the bigger the number the better, or simply "fr", a native speaker of French
  • When you find people who are good speakers of both, check their contributions; many people simply aren't active anymore
  • When you find someone who's currently active and who's a good speaker of French, ask him/her for translation help
Sorry that there's not a more straightforward method. If you can't find someone and simply wish to get rid of the page, add the text {{db-u1}} to the page and it will be deleted before long. Nyttend (talk) 11:15, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think I`ve made a boo-boo[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.

I think I`ve made a boo-boo I was trying to include my reference from rulers.org in my updates to the entry in the Political section of Wallis and Futuna and I seem to have deleted all the other references for the article. I don`t know what I did wrong. Can someone help me please.Yameogo (talk) 11:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have found a screen dump of the references that were there before I edited if thats any help. Yameogo (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, it's very hard to break Wikipedia. All the previous versions are retained, and you can always go back to a previous version. In particular, to undo the last change you made, look at the history and click "undo" against the end of the line. I have done that for you, so the article is back to the state before your last entry. More advice in a minute... JohnCD (talk) 12:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
To add that reference, you need to put this text into the article at the place it refers to: <ref>[http://rulers.org/rulvw.html#wallis_and_futuna rulers.org: Wallis and Futuna]</ref>. That will add a small reference number at that point, and a corresponding entry in the reference list at the bottom. WP:CITE explains how it works. JohnCD (talk) 12:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JohnCD I had put the reference in the article but went into the references section to try and detail my reference as it was only indicated as a number 1 in brackets and thought I needed to put some meaningful words there. Thanks so much for your help. Yameogo (talk) 12:28, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

I made changes to the political leadership of Guadeloupe after visiting rulers.org which showed a change of name to the assembly and a new leader (Josette Borel-Lincertin). I removed Ary Chalus from the Guadeloupe entry based on info shown on rulers.org but have seen Chalus on webpages that still call him the President of the Regional Council. But rulers.org says Josette Borel-Lincertin is the President of the Departmental Council of Guadeloupe. The french Wikipedia site for Josette Borel-Lincertin says she became leader after the elections in 2015 and that, at the same time, the assembly changed from the Regional Council to the Departmental Council. Please help me with... I thought I`d made a correction. But now I`m not so sure and confused. I can`t find accurate info on Guadeloupe`s actual government. Yameogo (talk) 11:15, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rulers.org is not a reliable source, it appears to be a blog maintained by one person with no editorial oversight. If you speak French, try their Government website (or get one of the native speakers of French to help).--Launchballer 12:53, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

I`m still confused. The website indicated did not appear to help about what Council administers Guadeloupe and who leads it. There are other websites that contradict each other.

Please help me with... what regional authority officially administers Guadeloupe and who is its leader?

Florencio Flores Aguilar[edit]

I`m frustrated by an editor who has reverted one of my edits twice. The page in question is `Florencio Flores Aguilar` a leader of Panama in the `80s. Editor Mewulwe originally reversed my edit with the respone `huh?` with no explanation. I then reversed his reversion claiming he had not provided a vaild reason. He immediately reversed the edit again explaining that Flores “wasn`t leader of the country, Wikipedia is not a source.”

I had only updated the Flores page with clarification of dates from the `List of heads of state of Panama` page which shows Flores as Military (de facto) leader of Panama. Plus a little more information regarding his deposition.

The Flores page was very limited for a leader of a country (de facto or not) even if it was for a short time (7 months). Which is why I wanted to add dates and a reason for the tenure to end. Mewulwe`s editing history on this page seems to indicate a strict limiting of any additional information and a biased outlook on determining Flores as a leader of Panama. My edit only ever referred to Flores as the Military leader of Panama and was based on Wikipedia`s own page: `List of heads of state of Panama`.

I have never before challenged another editor on a Wikipedia entry before but I do not understand why my edit on the Flores page was rejected and is this way. I would like advice on whether editor Mewulwe is right in rejecting my edit and what recourse I have in stopping him reversing it. Yameogo (talk) 11:14, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
