== Referencing errors on [[Special:Diff/698573209|Mary Catherine Lamb]] ==

''[[User:ReferenceBot|Reference]] help requested.''

HELP! I'm clueless on what the following message means:

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

On the Mary Catherine Lamb page, your edit caused an unsupported parameter error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Can you explain it, or better yet fix it?--[[User:Ailemadrah|Ailemadrah]] ([[User talk:Ailemadrah|talk]]) 00:21, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

: The error message in the article says "'' Unknown parameter |access date= ignored (|access-date= suggested) (help); Missing or empty |title= (help)''", and the words "help" are in blue to indicate that they are [[WP:wikilink|wikilink]]s, in this case to [[Help:CS1 errors#parameter ignored suggest]] and [[Help:CS1 errors#citation missing title]] respectively. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 00:28, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

: In the box at the top of the article, the words in blue are [[WP:wikilink|wikilink]]s to pages which will give you more information on the problems. The most obvious problem is "''insufficient inline citations''". Tackle that first. It is easier for us to give you help if you give us a link to the page in question. I have taken the liberty of editing your question to include a link. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 09:55, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
: Hello {{ping|עמית באום}}, please make sure to read and follow Wikipedia's [[WP:COI|"conflict of interest"]] guideline before making any further changes, in case you are connected to the topic in any way. Also, about your "We've followed ..." comment: shared accounts are not permitted. If several editors are contributing to the article, each one should log on under a uniquely identifying account name. I have posted a welcome message with some more - hopefully helpful - links on your user talkpage. [[User:GermanJoe|GermanJoe]] ([[User talk:GermanJoe|talk]]) 11:40, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

== Difficulty adding a link to an archive. ==

I'm unable to add a link to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union archive to the Wikipedia page on the 1934 West Coast Waterfront Strike. Whenever I do so, I get the message below, even though I'm adding only one link to a relevant outside archival webpage. Can anyone help with this?

"It appears you are adding external links to many different Wikipedia pages in rapid succession. This is often a sign of people spamming Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites. Before you continue you may wish to review Wikipedia's policies of external links and spam as these may help you decide whether these links are appropriate for Wikipedia. Please feel free to ask at the Help Desk if you have any questions.
If you want to add references to the article, please, read WP:References for an appropriate way to do this. If you're sure you still want to make this edit, go to the bottom of this page and click 'Save page' again, and it will be submitted as is. If you were not trying to add links to many pages, and you received this message in error, you may report this error." — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:ILWUHist|ILWUHist]] ([[User talk:ILWUHist|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ILWUHist|contribs]]) 18:48, 7 January 2016‎ (UTC)

: I can only see two pages to which you have tried to add links today, but both of them are broken links (in two different ways). Check {{diff2|698698722|this edit}} and also {{diff2|698702778|this one}}, and correct the urls. IAs far as your question is concerned, it may be that whichever automated process has flagged the problem has noted that there is a similarity between your username and the url of the link. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 19:13, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
:{{Re|ILWUHist}} Your edits were caught by an "[[WP:edit filter|edit filter]]" designed to stop new users adding inappropriate external links. The edit filter isn't clever enough to distinguish good links from bad ones; it only saw that you were trying to add it many times. The log of your attempts is [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=ILWUHist here]. Your chosen user name suggests that you are associated with the website whose address you are trying to add, so it is probably best if you post the link at [[Talk:1934 West Coast waterfront strike]] instead, with a message explaining why you think it is a good link to add. There's lots of good advice at [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 22:18, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
:: Thanks. I figured it out and corrected the broken url. I'm super green here, obviously, and I really appreciate the suggestions for how to address the problem. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:ILWUHist|ILWUHist]] ([[User talk:ILWUHist|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ILWUHist|contribs]]) 22:42, 7 January 2016‎ (UTC)

[[User:Joseph2302|Joseph2302]] ([[User talk:Joseph2302|talk]]) 19:43, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

: It's apparently the template include size problem. You'll see the relevant page in [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded]]. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 19:54, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

== thermonuclear bomb ==

I am trying to nake a suggestion for your article on the above topic, and I can't work out. I would rather it were not in the public domain. Some years ago I made a correction to your entry on Klaus Fuchs - you said he was Jewish, he was not. I could not log in but was told I had incorrect pass word. I tried to join but was told my user name - Norman Moss (I like to keep it simple) is already in use. I tried N.B. Moss but was told it waas too similar. Am I already a member? If not how can I make my suggestion, or become a member?

:The account [[User:Norman Moss]] was created years ago. [[User:N.B. Moss]] was created 13 minutes before your post here. None of the accounts have any edits. In 2005 [[User:-b]] made [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Klaus_Fuchs&diff=21750980&oldid=16348595 this] edit in 2005 so I guess it's your account. 23:24, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[[User:PrimeHunter|PrimeHunter]] ([[User talk:PrimeHunter|talk]])

:Hello, Norman. Most of Wikipedia you don't need to be logged in to edit. (A small proportion of articles are [[WP:semi-protected|semi-protected]], so that only accounts with a certain number of edits can change them - this is usually because the pages have been subject to sustained vandalism.) Having said that, if anybody makes an edit that does not comply with Wikipedia policies, it is likely that somebody else will revert it quite quickly. Examples of relevant policies are that everything should be cited to as [[WP:RS|reliable source]], the article should retain a [[WP:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], and it should not contain any [[WP:original research|original research]]. If you want to make a change to a semi-protected page, or any change you think might be controversial, you are encouraged to suggest the change on the article's talk page.
:I don't understand what you mean by "I would rather it were not in the public domain". If you are referring to keeping some editing private until you are ready, then that is not possible in Wikipedia: every page is visible to anybody. If you are referring to copyright - the ability to copy and reuse material - then little of Wikipedia is in the public domain (in the technical meaning of the phrase), but most of it is licensed under a license that allows anybody to reuse it for any purpose as long as they give proper attribution. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 00:21, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

::The article [[thermonuclear weapon]], to which [[thermonuclear bomb]] redirects, does not mention Fuchs. The article [[Klaus Fuchs]] says nothing to suggest he was Jewish. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 00:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
:::The article on Fuchs in 2005 did claim a Jewish family, but User:Jack Upland removed that false claim after you (Norman Moss) pointed it out on the talk page. You could have made that edit yourself, but it was perhaps better done via the talk page because of your minor conflict of interest, being the author of a book on the subject.
