  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not be appropriate to be indexed by external search engines as presently written. Typically, this could be because it appears promotional, or contains material in development or archived that doesn't yet meet policies and guidelines. I have tagged this page as __NOINDEX__, which allows editing but minimizes the page's inclusion in search engine results.

If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, you may add {{db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, you can change the page so that it more clearly meets Wikipedia guidelines, or you can edit it as normal and ignore the tag completely (it will not affect editing).

However, please do not remove the tag without discussion. Thank you. Cindy(talk) 09:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I do not understand what the problem is. All I want to do is make sure that the important struggle to remove sexist and racist language and stereotypes made by feminists in the 1970s does not pass out of recorded history. This is incredible work that they did and it is almost not mentioned anywhere in print or on-line reference sources. I spent the last four months researching it and identifying as much solid credible information as I could. I even drove 100 miles from my home to spend a day in a University archive doing research. I am utterly lost in the technicality of the technology of Wikipedia. I'm not sure what a User Page is -- all I want is my informative and thoroughly researched information/page to be posted on Wikipedia so that others who know facts about this struggle and can document the activities of feminists in other parts of the country can add what they know to the page and increase everyone's knowledge about what happened. What is the problem? I added the context. I've written facts and not promotion or opinion. I've provided lots of citations to back up what I've stated. What more could Wikipedia want? (I removed the tag _NOINDEX_ because I did not put it there and did not understand what it was.) I believe that my content is solid, so the problem must be with technicalities. I am not tech savvy. I do not understand the instructions or help features or how to navigate very well at all. Please, please, please have a heart and help me out here.

I do not understand how to get my article out from User Page status and onto the main Wikipedia area. What needs to happen? SDFeminist2.0 (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Timeline of textbook change from California POV.pdf

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Timeline of textbook change from California POV.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:42, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest editing

edit

  Hello, SDFeminist2.0. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Anne Ewing, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi SDFeminist2.0. I work on conflict of interest issues in WIkipedia, along with my regular editing. Would you please reply here, just below this, and say if you have any connection with Anne Ewing? Once you reply I can provide you with guidance about this matter, and editing Wikipedia more generally. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 13:43, 22 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Headshot of Anne Ewing.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Headshot of Anne Ewing.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 02:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Help me!

edit

Please help me with... In the article Population Growth there is a table near the top of the page that is confusing.

The dates listed in the table are not in chronological order. They read: 1800, 1927, 1960, 1974, 1917, 1999, ....

The citation for the table is given as World Population Prospectus, 2017 at the link https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/

I cannot find the table or the data in the table in the 2017 Prospectus.

I did find a very similar set of data in a graph made by My World Data at https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth , but it is still not an exact match.

My point is that this is confusing, and I would like to request that someone look into it.

Thank you.

The only out-of-sequence number was 1917 which had been inserted in place of 1987 just recently by an IPV6 editor. I've undone that change.
I agree that the sourcing needs to be improved; the citation for the chart does not go anywhere very useful. But the place to talk about content issues like this is on the talk page of the article and, if there's no response after a reasonable time, on the talk page of one of the WikiProjects that are at the top of the article's talk page. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
