I accidentally misspelled Sheafer in the title/url of the wikipedia page. Instead of "Shaefer" it should be "Sheafer" How do I fix this mistake? Jdonnell cs92 (talk)jdonnell cs92

I have been told that the Wikipedia page on ProSPER.Net cannot be published because it is copyright by ProSPER.Net. I am the responsible for ProSPER.Net, writing the article. I don't see the issue here as we are not failing any copyright issues. I work for ProSPER.Net and am solely responsible for its communications of the network. 202.253.138.199 (talk) 02:52, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, IP address. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. The best source of information about copyright questions will be Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems. You can also ask questions at WP:THQ. I expect that when you do ask your question at those venues, you will be told that, as an individual, you do not have the right to grant licenses for material that is copyrighted by your employer. I also took a look at the unu.edu web site and saw that the license granted there (which is here) does not permit re-use of its material for commercial purposes, whereas material hosted on Wikipedia does not have that restriction. And so, it seems to me that there is a very real copyright issue that can arise from taking material from the website. But I encourage you to seek a more-expert opinion from either of the two sources that I named at the start. On a different note, if you are writing an article about your employer, you are subject to our conflict-of-interest requirements, for which you might want to read WP:COI. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 03:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - It appears that JSFarman has provided helpful advice upon your draft. I would also point you to the following document - Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout - which talks about how to comply with Wikipedia's manual of style. Isingness (talk) 01:58, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me what else to add that would make it clear how notable the York Civic Trust is? I am surprised that the references I have supplied do not make it clear how important it has been and continues to be in an internationally significant city. It was recognised by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments England, a government advisory body, and noted in my references - which are wider than those supplied, for example, in the Wikipedia articles on the Gloucester Civic Trust and the Swindon Civic Trust. Please advise, I'm a bit baffled. Thanks CYSYork (talk) 08:13, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - It appears that many of your sources are primary sources; you should likely replace each of these with secondary or third-party sources if you are looking for a different response from those reviewing your draft. You may also want to look at finding sources from outside the York area, in order to demonstrate that it has a level of national or international notability. A helpful document for your situation is likely found here Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Isingness (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which type of references are best for above paragraph? Wmasterus (talk) 13:53, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - While the sentence is too promotional for Wikipedia, regarding your specific question regarding sources, I would refer you to the following document: Wikipedia:Reliable sources. You should be able to find guidance there. Isingness (talk) 01:47, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
