Page heading spelling mistake
Both pages have been deleted. Eagleash (talk) 21:27, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
I created a page and made a spelling mistake in the search word heading. How do I edit it? The editor just lets me into the content â" Preceding unsigned comment added by ERollo (talk ⢠contribs) 23:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Does this refer to Holosophy? If so what is the correct spelling? Page names can only be changed by 'moving' a page to a new location (title). This facility (obtained via the 'more' tab at the top of the page) will not be available to you until your account is at least four days old with a minimum of 10 valid edits. Please sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Yes thank you. The title should read Holosopholy. I have tried to create a new article with title Holosopholy but it is now saying that that article already exists. Now I am really confused. I thought I had made a spelling mistake but I couldn't have because Holosopholy points to the incorrect Holosophy. I seem to be trapped. ERollo (talk) 23:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Googling 'Holosopholy' reveals no hits, whereas 'Holosophy' does so there may be a problem in establishing which is correct and additionally whether a Wiki article is justified. Further at 04.42 (UTC) on 28 January HapHaxion moved page Holosopholy to Holosophy. In theory that should solve the spelling problem but is in the wrong direction per your spelling. However if you enter Holosopholy in the search box it redirects you to Holosophy and says it is redirected from Holosopholy. There is a redirect here in the wrong direction if your spelling is correct and an article with 'incorrect' spelling here. It looks as if notability issues not withstanding the redirect has been wrongly created. This has confused me somewhat, so hoping an editor who can follow the histories can at least get that part sorted. Eagleash (talk) 00:12, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) @ERollo: The page history [1] shows you did create it with the name Holosopholy but User:HapHaxion moved it to Holosophy, maybe because there are no Google hits on "Holosopholy". This automatically creates a redirect from the old name. Did you invent the word? There are a few Google hits on "Holosophy" but apparently no common meaning of that word. It sounds like many occurrences were made up by the authors with different intended meanings. Note WP:NOTNEO. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:14, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying that I did not make a spelling mistake. That puts my mind at rest. The word 'Holosophy' has been registered as a trade mark by an organisation who seem to be promoting 'well being' in a manner that deviates from the root words Holo and Soph points to Whole Wisdom/Knowledge. I have been asked by Change Managers to put the word Holosopholy on Wiki as it is meaningful to them and would like it described more fully so that the concept may be shared. Holosophy sounds like a branch of Philosophy but in contrast Holosopholy is concerned not only with thinking internally but also thinking with the hand. I would also add that a Holosopholist is not a Polymath ie a person who has a wide range of deep knowledge. A Holosopholist is someone who has the knowledge and know-how to connect knowledgable people. Indeed if Wiki was a person he/she would be described as a type of Holosopholist. I do hope I am allowed to continue with this project. 88.210.179.54 (talk) 09: 32, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- Could I enquire please: who are "Change Managers"? Personally, I would regard the words holosophy, holosophology and holosopholist as neologisms undeserving of a place in Wikipedia, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong if you can find WP:Reliable sources for some or all of the terms. Dbfirs 10:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for replying. Change Managers are professionals who are employed by governments, corporations or businesses to identify routes through the complexity that modern globalisation has delivered. There is a general consensus that connecting people has merit and that learning to bridge the gap between those of opposing views is advantageous to global stability. In the old paradigm, the word Diplomat was used to describe part of this function, but it has become archaic in the sense that it has become highly stereotyped and closed. There needs to be a new way to express "the whole work of those who strive to connect" because a holosopholist is not necessarily always diplomatic. I quote: "Neologisms represent the evolving nature of the English language. Holosopholy is indeed a neologism as is Google and Crowdsourcing. Holosopholy represents the embodiment of an evolving "Diplomacy", a word which is no longer able to contribute in concept to the whole needs of globalisation. I c an understand why you have to protect the integrity of the encyclopedia and that Neologisms must be tried, tested and in common use. My question is- Does it make sense to you? Do you know intuitively that this word has merit and should be shared universally now, or do I share it with a small group of reliable sources who may take 10 years to release its value publicly. I leave that up to you. Sorry forgot to sign. ERollo (talk) 12:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- On the contrary, both Google and crowdsourcing have had entries in dictionaries for years and so are new words but no longer neologisms. I'm afraid you must ask your mysterious Change Managers to publish their original research elsewhere. Wikipedia is not the place to publish new concepts. They must have been written about in WP:Reliable sources first. Dbfirs 13:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC) Sorry to disappoint you. Dbfirs 13:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. I am not in the slightest bit disappointed. In fact I am highly amused that Wiki considers that an attempt to connect the world is a new concept. Please ensure that you delete all reference to Holosophy as well as this is a trade mark and the organisation may sue you. Cheers ERollo (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- The attempt isn't new, but the word is. I agree that both articles should be deleted. I'm still puzzled about who these "Change Managers" are. Dbfirs 16:10, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
As I said before, change managers are professionals who are employed to advise organisations on how to implement changes when these changes are very complex. The world has become too complicated for most organisations to use the old tried and tested management techniques successfully. In many ways our language will need to evolve quickly to accommodate the changes that are going on in the world with the new capacity for communication. I expect many more new words will come your way as the world adapts to the effects that the internet has brought upon us. It is people like mysel,f who think out of the box, who are in a position to assist with this process of adaption. I hope this answers your question. 88.210.179.54 (talk) 19:37, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. I still wonder which London organisation you work for, but please note that neither Wikipedia nor Wiktionary is the place to publicise newly-invented words. You need to think even further out of the box. Dbfirs 08:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Look Wiki, I got the message very early on in this conversation that Neologisms aren't allowed. I am sorry, I accept your reasoning and I apologise. I am somewhat concerned about your joint continued facetious questioning about my connections? In light of my rejection, that is absolutely none of your business and why should you care anyway? If you had really wanted to know about these "London Organisations" then you should have let the article run. But Rules are Rules. This conversation has ended and my public flogging, for being a bad person, is complete. Let it go. ERollo (talk) 10:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry to upset you. No public flogging or facetiousness was intended. It was your statement the "I have been asked by Change Managers to put the word Holosopholy on Wiki" that flagged "promotional" in my mind. I'm always curious about behind-the-scenes influences anywhere in life, not just in Wikipedia. I'll drop the subject now that both entries have been deleted as you requested. Best wishes, and I look forward to the word appearing in dictionaries in the future. Dbfirs 11:23, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Please helpme with malformations. I have been reprimanded by an editor david bidfulph whom I respect enormously. I am too embarked to state that I don't know how to formatting in the way he wants. Please see my request above. Thanks so much. 101.182.188.199 (talk) 11:31, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Please see #Duchess of Cambridge above, and User talk:101.182.188.199. This editor's misuse of the publisher parameter was pointed out by DES at User talk:Srbernadette#citation format on 23 September 2015, and on countless occasions in numerous places since then. Can someone with more patience than I have please explain it in words of one syllable that this editor will understand? If some thinks that the description at Template:Cite web#Publisher can be made clearer, please do so. Regulars here at the help desk will know this editor's propensity for expecting other users to sort out errors in referencing, instead of learning to do it for himself with the help of the endless advice which he has been given; see numerous comments at User talk:Srbernadette. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:46, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- In the short-term, I suppose, one piece of advice might be "If you don't understand what ought to go into the publisher parameter, then don't use it". We may have said so before, but there's no harm in saying so again. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:56, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hello, @101.182.188.199: You are obviously willing to learn, and that is what we value here, so stick with it - references are notoriously difficult for newcomers to get to grips with. I can offer a couple of suggestions. Firstly, as David Biddulph suggests, only use the "|publisher=" field for the actual name of the publisher, or leave it blank. Nothing else goes there. Secondly, it helps to use the "Preview" tool when making edits, to ensure they are just right before you save them. Or try them out on your Sandbox until you are happy with them. Thirdly, you could try the Wikipedia Adventure to build your skills and confidence. I hope this helps. --Gronk Oz (talk) 13:02, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

- M.Billoo2000 My advice would be to avoid any further edits to the article and instead put your case objectively on the article talk page, notifying the other editor as you do so. Hopefully the issues can be resolved there: if not, there is a dispute resolution procedure laid down (this Help Desk isn't really part of that). The other thing is to try not to seem combative in edit summaries: being extended-confirmed or an admin doesn't give you an advantage in editing disputes, which are assessed purely on the merits of the case: Noyster (talk), 14:38, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

changing logo & editing content
Hello,
I would like to edit this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Tobacco_Group by adding my company*s new logo and changing the text. I have added text in the back end and for some reason not all the changes have been applied when publish. Please advise.
Many thanks. â" Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreayoung (talk ⢠contribs) 10:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- The first thing you need to do is to read about conflict of interest and paid editing. I notice also that many of the references which you have recently added are to the company website. Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject has to say about itself; instead, Wikipedia relies on published reliable sources independent of the subject. Where you say "not all the changes have been applied when publish", are you referring to where you have tried to use parameters which don't exist in the relevant infobox template, such as "Traded as" (which is shown as a warning in page preview when you are editing the [page)? You need to remember that in general, page names and parameters in Wikipedia are case sensitive. --David Biddulph (talk) 10:41, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! any advice on changing the logo? â" Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreayoung (talk ⢠contribs) 12:16, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Andreayoung. If the new version you which to upload is in the same file format and essentially the same as File:Scandinavian Tobacco Group logo.jpg, except smaller in size, cropped, of straightened, etc., then you can simply upload it by going to the file's page and clicking "Upload a new version of this file". If, however, it is significantly different such as different in design, color, file format, etc., then you should upload the new version as a completely new file. You can do this by using Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard. If you're not sure how to do this, you can ask for help at WP:MCQ or WP:FFU. As long as you provide a url for the file so that it can be downloaded and it's copyright status can be verified, then someone at either of those noticeboards should be able to help you or do it for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Updating the logo is the kind of uncontroversial action that you are probably OK doing even with your COI Andreayoung (but you need to make that declaration before you do anything else). Please see WP:LOGOS to understand the background of using non-free logos, and WP:UPI#Updating existing image for the mechanics. You won't be able to do this until your are AUTOCONFIRMED, but that should happen in about nineteen hours.

What is inappropriate about "pinging"?
One editor does not take kindly to being "pinged," as he/she calls it. Every time I discuss something with another editor, i make sure I include his name in full style, i.e User:such-and-such in brackets. It's a standard practice of mine aimed to simply facilitate the reader. My question is, whether this is considered bona fide "pinging" and, if so, whether this would be considered inappropriate or offensive or a type of stalking, harassment, etc. Although, I've been an editor here for a number of years, this is the first time I encounter such a complaint. Thanks in advance. -The Gnome (talk) 12:10, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, when somebody is having an active conservation with someone on some talk page or so they usually watchlist it so that any changes/addition /alteration automatically pops up in front of their eyes.Now, many editors don't like being repeatedly pinged every time one post a reply or opinion in a particular discussion since it clutters the notification box without doing any real good.Also pinging other editors at random without any proper reason can be sometimes considered as disruptive. The best way out is obviouly to not ping the concerned editor any more in that particular discussion. Hope, this satisfies you. Winged Blades Godric 13:04, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- W.r.t to the chain of events that led you here, pinging an user three times or so in a single reply esp. when there are multiple active content disputes between you and the user, could be deemed as disruptive.Winged Blades Godric 13:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- If someone says they don't want to be pinged, don't ping them, it's that simple. If they later fail to answer a question asked on a page where they have posted afterwards, see WP:SILENCE. TigraanClick here to contact me 13:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hey Dale Dailey. You can submit your draft for review by a volunteer with our Articles for Creation project, by pasting {{AFC submission}} to the top of the page. This will add the draft to a list of submissions pending review.
- However, in its current state, your draft seems unlikely to be accepted because it is almost entirely referenced to the individuals autobiography. In order to show that a subject meets Wikipedia's standards for notability, you need to demonstrate that the subject has received in-depth coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Since an autobiography is written by the subject themselves, it doesn't count as independent. It's still fine to use that as a source for information, but other sources are needed to demonstrate that the subject received sufficient outside attention to qualify for their own article.

- I have taken the liberty of tweaking the headings and some layout anomalies more in line with MoS. Now it just needs better referencing as noted by TJW above. Eagleash (talk) 13:31, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Problem with Yotsuya Kaidan page
Someone has gone through the page about Yutsuda Kaidan and changed character names to "lemon." I don't know the story, so I don't know which characters they are supposed to be. Sorry if I am submitting this information in the wrong way, but I can't find the right way to report it. Thanks! --â" Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.76.14.229 (talk ⢠contribs)
- Thanks for pointing this out, IP user. It confused me and (from the history) several other editors. The character's name is "Iemon", starting with a capital "I"! So there's nothing wrong with the article. For future reference, the best place to point out problems in a particular article is on that article's talk page: in this case, Talk:Yotsuya Kaidan. --ColinFine (talk) 13:44, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

- (edit conflict)I thought at first that it was vandalism by a recent couple of IP edits (and undid them). However the page was created a decade ago with the name Lemon. Google reveals this page where the name is also shown as Lemon. (I have undone my edit!). But thanks for pointing this out. Eagleash (talk) 13:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

- @Eagleash: If you re-read the page to which you gave the link, you'll see that the text of the page has "Iemon", it's in the comments where a number of readers of the page commented that they had misread it as "Lemon". --David Biddulph (talk) 13:58, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
