== Who is copying from whom? ==

The [[Petrohué Waterfalls]] article is exactly the same as the text at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mFZhUDrqGY this] youtube page. How do we know, in this case, if the article is copying youtube or visa versa? [[User:Leschnei|Leschnei]] ([[User talk:Leschnei|talk]]) 00:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
:More precisely, the YouTube page is exactly the same as the 17 February 2015 version before [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Petrohu%C3%A9_Waterfalls&diff=681689637&oldid=647478707 this] edit 18 September 2015. YouTube says "Published on Sep 13, 2015". The page history of [[Petrohué Waterfalls]] shows nearly the same content since 2008. So the YouTube uploader copied Wikipedia when the video was uploaded (or possibly copied somebody else who had copied Wikipedia).

== SpongeBob season 4? ==

Should [[SpongeBob SquarePants (season 4)]] use the ''The Complete Fourth Season'' DVD cover art in the infobox (and therefore the season colour) instead of the ''Volume 1'' and ''Volume 2'' cover arts?--[[User:Theo Mandela|Theo Mandela]] ([[User talk:Theo Mandela|talk]]) 00:18, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Theo Mandela}} there is no hard-and-fast rule concerning matters like that, it would be better to discuss it on the article's [[Talk:SpongeBob SquarePants (season 4)|Talk page]] to get agreement among the editors concerned. --[[User:Gronk Oz|Gronk Oz]] ([[User talk:Gronk Oz|talk]]) 01:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

== WP:Activity ==

I was wondering how active WP is these days, so I typed in [[WP:Activity]]. This redirected me to a defunct policy page on wikimedia on the metrics used to divide editors up by activity level ([Research:Metrics]), which itself redirects me to another page on Wikimedia about metrics which doesn't seem to have been updated since 2014 ([Research:Standard metrics]). Ok, so now I know that people have been thinking about how best to measure this for a long time, which is good. But where do I go to actually see data on WP's activity levels recently?

== Theodore George Davenport ==

I created a page for my dad, cited 3 sources for information, and it got deleted because of copyright. If I take data out of one of the articles & cite it, is that infringement?

Thanks.

:{{ping|Tdavenport26}} {{tq|If I take data out of one of the articles & cite it, is that infringement?}} - You didn't just "take the data," you clearly copied and pasted it. That being plagiarism is something high schoolers are expected to know. Also, [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL|Wikipedia is not a memorial]], and "class of" lists do not establish [[WP:GNG|notability]].

== Articles linking to the wrong person ==

Looking for some advice here. We have an article on [[Peter Abrams]], who is an artist that works with recycled material. There is another Peter Abrams, who is a film producer; we have articles on his films ([[The Wedding Planner]], [[Point Break]], [[Wedding Crashers]] are some) but not on him, so it turns out a few of these film articles are linking to the wrong Peter Abrams.

I'm not sure if the producer meets the notability requirements for his own article; I'm finding plenty of lists of the films he has produced, but no biographical information about ''him''. (The filter at work is not helping matters, so if anyone would like to help with the search, be my guest!) Should I remove the wikilinks from the film articles, to avoid having them point to the wrong person? –[[User:FlyingAce|FlyingAce]][[User talk:FlyingAce|✈hello]] 15:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

==SELF FIXED AfD !votes not showing up in my AfD log, Round2 ==
{{resolved}}
Hello, back in May I had this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2017_May_13#AfD_.21votes_not_showing_up_in_my_AfD_log. issue as well], my !votes from today are not showing up in my [http://tools.wmflabs.org/afdstats/afdstats.py?name=L3X1&max=&startdate=&altname= AfD Log], even though I have reloaded and purged it multiple times. I wanted to check here before asking Captain Raju if he had changed his signature.
*[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Global Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd.]] I am only !voter, and my !vote immediately follows CR delsorting.
*[[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Fei-Yue_Wang]] I am not the only !Voter, and CR has not edited the page at all.
*[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moaid Mahjoub]] Only !voter, following CR delsorting

So I would be inclined to think that the signature is interfering with the AfD script, except for the middle AfD. I haven't contacted CR yet, because I have no idea how the script works or how signatures would interfere with it or how [[User:Lourdes]] discovered it last time, and do not wish to be rude. Also, I checked [[User:Cullen328]]'s [http://tools.wmflabs.org/afdstats/afdstats.py?name=Cullen328&max=&startdate=&altname= AfD log], and his !vote on [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Fei-Yue_Wang]] showed up in his log, so I don't know if I am suffering a local server error or if Cullen has a signature error as well.

== Copyright and Trademark symbols ==

When editing, how do you type copyright and trademark symbols? The method used for Word does not work. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:IScribe|IScribe]] ([[User talk:IScribe#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/IScribe|contribs]]) 19:53, 10 August 2017 (UTC) 
:You could copy-and-paste these: © ™.

== template tag ==

How do I get a tag off my entry when it is unknown why it was made but it can’t be changed by the editor who made it[[User:Carol Smallwood|Carol Smallwood]] ([[User talk:Carol Smallwood|talk]]) 20:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Smallwood
:Hi {{u|Carol Smallwood}}. Just a quick once over, it's quite clear why this header tag was placed: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Carol_Smallwood#Carol_Smallwood_just_loves_to_edit_this_page Carol Smallwood Just Loves to Edit This Page]. There seems to be an inordinate amount of [[WP:COI]] activity on this article, judging from its history and Talk Page. It will remain for as long as suspicious activity continues to arise - such as editors with the same name as the article edit the page. I hope this helps!

== My name is Sid Herring and I am the founder of The Gants. I am requesting that someone make the following corrections to the article about The Gants, which was posted long ago without my knowledge or input.==

I posted this summary and a few requested edits on my talk page on August 1, 2017 and have had no response to this request. I want to improve and update the information about me and my band, The Gants. Who can assist me?[[User:SidHerring|SidHerring]] ([[User talk:SidHerring|talk]]) 20:24, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|SidHerring}}! You will want to post those comments at the article's Talk Page here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Gants Talk: The Gants], instead of on your own Talk Page. Please make sure that you disclose the information that you are associated with the band as this is required with WP's [[WP:COI]] policies. Any requests for change will need reliable sources [[WP:RS]] to back such claims. Good luck! [[User:Maineartists|Maineartists]] ([[User talk:Maineartists|talk]]) 20:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

== Someone is changing a biographical page with negative unsubstantiated edits ==

Hello. I have noticed that someone keeps changing the biographical notes on a public person on Wikipedia - adding details that are inaccurate and worded in such a way as to leave innuendos of possible wrong doing which are not facts. The public person in question is deeply troubled by these actions and our team is watching the page and constantly removes the false allegations. Is there a way to stop this?
Many thanks — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AB10002|AB10002]] ([[User talk:AB10002#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AB10002|contribs]]) 22:39, 10 August 2017 (UTC) 
:{{ping|AB10002}} Gee, it's really helpful how you did not tell us what page it was. [[User:Ian.thomson|Ian.thomson]] ([[User talk:Ian.thomson|talk]]) 23:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|AB10002|Ian.thomson}} Hey, first, I presume the article is '''[[Julie Payette]]'''. Also, if you are in anyway connected to this person, you have a [[WP:COI|COI]], and need to declare this. See the [[WP:HAECOI|help available to editors with COIs]]. Also, if you are paid to edit here, you also need to [[WP:PAID|disclose this]]. Furthermore, most of your edits seem to be removing [[WP:RS|sourced]] content, which, without a ''very'' good reason, shouldn't be done on Wikipedia - the fact that the article subject doesn't like it is not a good enough of a reason. You should direct any requests to the [[Talk:Julie Payette|article talk page]], where you should use the {{tl|edit request}} template to request changes be made - making sure that what you request uses [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. If there are serious concerns about the article, after having raised them at the article talk page, please see [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help]] or [[Wikipedia:Contact us - Subjects]].

:What has been told to you by Seagull is correct: I don't know if you're an employee of the government or a private public relations consultant, but "your team" gets no privilege to control the article's content. The article belongs to ''Wikipedia'', not to Julie Payette, and ''Wikipedia's'' policies and procedures, not Payette's image management preferences, will dictate what can or cannot be added to the article. Namely, [[WP:RS|reliably sourced]] content gets to stay whether it's "convenient" or not — and unsourced content doesn't get to stay just because you and "your team" are being paid to put it there. ''Wikipedia'' decides what does or doesn't go in the article according to ''Wikipedia's'' rules. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 23:39, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
