How do I properly merge the dissolved village Lake Mykee Town, Missouri into Holts Summit, Missouri?[edit]

I attempted it, but it was reverted because I did it wrong somehow? What did I do wrong? 184.6.88.18 (talk) 09:19, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell from the article histories, you didn't merge the articles, you redirected Lake Mykee Town, Missouri to point to Holts Summit, Missouri. In doing so you completely removed the information in the former article from the active database. The subject of an article doesn't lose notability if it no longer exists. If the village is no longer extant, just note that fact, with a supporting reference. Rojomoke (talk) 09:28, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)This was answered at Talk:Lake Mykee Town, Missouri#Merger proposal. There was insufficient time allowed for any discussion. You opened the proposal discussion and closed it 10 minutes later. As an 'involved' editor, technically you should not have been the one to close the discussion, certainly not after such a short period of time. I am not sure whether you read the instructions at WP:MERGEPROP and WP:FMERGE but you should do so (if you have not already) before trying again. If the merger proposal is accepted by the community, following the instructions should ensure that there are no problems. Eagleash (talk) 09:36, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, Rojomoke is correct in that notability does not cease to exist because a settlement has been absorbed into a different administrative area. Towns which became part of Greater London in 1965, for example, do not redirect to the GL page. Eagleash (talk) 09:43, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How to delete a Wiki page put up about me .....[edit]

Hello,

I recently noticed someone has put up a page, with incorrect information, about me - how do I go about getting it deleted please ( I prefer to simply delete the whole page rather than edit the information )

Many thannks.

Martin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:CA69:5200:B85C:1178:36EB:2E82 (talk) 12:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@2A02:C7D:CA69:5200:B85C:1178:36EB:2E82: It would help if you could provide a link to the page in question. However, you have little, if any, control over what any Wiki page contains. Wikipedia articles are based upon what has been written about the subject in independent reliable sources (any unsourced material is likely to be deleted). As you have a conflict of interest, you can make editing suggestions at the article talk page, but you should not edit the article itself. You would need to provide reliable sources to support the changes you wish to make. An article would only be deleted if certain criteria are fulfilled. Eagleash (talk) 13:41, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Martin. If you are a truly public figure, of assured notability, then the article is not likely to be taken down solely because you wish it so. But if you are not, then see WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. However, any unsourced or poorly sourced information in an article on a living person can be removed by anyone, including you, immediately. As above, we can offer only very general advice without knowing which article this is about.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:46, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help in creating a picture dialogue[edit]

Hallo, i want to tranfer this picture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Palace_International_Short_Film_Festival to the greek version of the wikipedia https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A6%CE%B5%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%B2%CE%AC%CE%BB_%CF%84%CE%B1%CE%B9%CE%BD%CE%B9%CF%8E%CE%BD_%CE%9C%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%8D_%CE%BC%CE%AE%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%82_IN_THE_PALACE

can anyone help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimitris645 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This help desk is for the English Wikipedia. You would need to ask at the Greek Wikipedia. ~~Their help desk is at he:ויקיפדיה:דלפק_ייעוץ, but there may be more specific advice regarding image licensing~~. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:09, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

David Biddulph , that's the Help Desk at the Hebrew Wikipedia, not Greek.Naraht (talk) 20:14, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, you're right. I thought that didn't look like Greek. Perhaps el:Βικιπαίδεια:Βοήθεια, which is a Greek equivalent to the English Help:Contents? — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Biddulph (talk • contribs) 20:25, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources[edit]

I am currently working on the article of a newspaper editor. Can I use a report of his newspaper as a reference in his article? To be specific, I am working on Zahid Ali Khan, the editor of Siasat. For example can I use this [1] as a reference in his article? I am concerned as I have a feeling that it may be a primary source. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 18:52, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

English version of Italian page[edit]

How can I create an English version of this page? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.79.173.184 (talk) 20:05, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

error in Larry Pratt[edit]

This is a factually inaccurate statement: In 1994, Pratt unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Nevada State Assembly as a Libertarian, winning 27% of the vote.[7]. I have never been on the ballot in Nevada (only in VA). Larry Pratt <contact details redacted> 70.168.132.246 (talk) 20:45, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that the statement is sourced to http://www.boogieonline.com. That doesn't look to me like a reliable source – but I'll leave it to an American to judge. Maproom (talk) 20:51, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it per exceptional. Lourdes 00:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
