Wikipedia DC Chapter

Original research

In the lead the talkpage is being used as a reference. Is this not a form of WP:OR? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:17, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have twice deleted it because it uses a talk page discussion as a source, but User:Id4abel has twice reverted it. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:46, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yet again, "Can we get an FAQ in the banner and mention in this there please?" Again, that is not a reference, it is what Emir of Wikipedia asked for, with the adjustment for the fact that I do not know how to add a "FAQ in the banner." Abel (talk) 21:57, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I asked for an FAQ in the banner, not for anything to be used as a source in the article. If you don't know how to add a FAQ to the banner then ask someone on the talkpage to do it, but don't ruin the article in a desperate attempt to request it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"not a reference" Abel (talk) 22:11, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How is it not a reference? It uses the reference template at the end of a piece of information it is attempting to support. Please revert, and we can try to find out how to add a FAQ to the talkpage banner. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:15, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I did not say that the problem can only be addressed by adding a FAQ and no other method is valid, but rather that we can't use the talkpage to reference or note something. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:22, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User talk:Id4abel, two experienced editors now have asked you to revert your edit. And while you're at it, perhaps you can remove the enormous map you added to the article, which occupies half the page and has tiny overlapping text. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:59, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
18:20 is well before ‎22:59 Abel (talk) 23:51, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia District

Since "District of Columbia" ends up here, I think that little disambiguation header (that links to the state of Washington and the disambiguation pages for "United States capital" and "Washington") should also mention the historical Columbia District. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.67.253.34 (talk) 13:23, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea; the word order is simply reversed, so it probably should be mentioned. Added. --Golbez (talk) 20:14, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 June 2017

Add "Trinity Washington University" to the list of private universities in Washington DC under the "Education" section. A hyperlink to the university from Wikipedia can be used from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Washington_University 208.184.153.1 (talk) 20:08, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little iffy on this, but it is the 6th highest enrollment private school in the district, higher than Johns Hopkins, so adding it. Gallaudet is smaller but notable otherwise, so that didn't enter into the calculation; I was going to remove JHU but that seems to fit as otherwise notable as well. --Golbez (talk) 20:14, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
