== Someone keeps putting fake information on Dakota Ridge High School Page ==

One of my friends thinks its funny to mess around with my schools website on wikipedia, and keeps adding fake information. I want it to stop, I've already reverted the page. Any way to ban him from editing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Ridge_High_School

(Look at old page history to see his edits, which you can obviously tell are fake.) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:IJake15|IJake15]] ([[User talk:IJake15#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/IJake15|contribs]]) 02:32, 7 September 2017 (UTC) 

:The school year begins, and the vandalism resumes. If the vandalism continues at that article, feel free to request semi-protection at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]]. In the meantime, please do not place irrelevant user-warning templates on the article's talk page.

==[[Albert Kitson, 2nd Baron Airedale]]==
I have added a file - but it should be in another info box at the top of the page right hand side (I think!). It should have the heading at the top of the box of "Lord and Lady Airedale" too I think - or Albert Kitson with the words Lord Airedale underneath - according to other similar info boxes of British Nobility with the list underneath with "Born" and "Died" and "Education" and "Spouse" etc in the box with the photo. I don't know how to create this. Please fix if able. Thanks [[User:Srbernadette|Srbernadette]] ([[User talk:Srbernadette|talk]]) 04:20, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

:The article currently has no infobox. What you want to add is [[:Template:Infobox noble]]. You can see all of the possible fields at the template page. Just copy it, paste it in at the top of the edit window at [[Albert Kitson, 2nd Baron Airedale]], and fill in the relevant fields, including the file information for the image. (It may be helpful if you look how it's done on another article and use that as a template.) Don't forget to remove the standalone file name, otherwise the image will appear twice.

== Adding photos from other language versions of Wikipedia ==

Greetings!
I was editing the article on [[Alfredo Bruto da Costa]], and have been unable to get the image of him that displays on his Português Wikipedia article to display properly on his English Wikipedia article. Is there a way to display photos from other language versions of Wikipedia on articles on the English Wikipedia?

Thanks in advance! — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Yohan Anthony Sunanda|Yohan Anthony Sunanda]] ([[User talk:Yohan Anthony Sunanda#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Yohan Anthony Sunanda|contribs]]) 05:14, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
:You can't directly use an image that's on a different Wikipedia. You ''may'' be able to copy it to Wikipedia Commons, and then use that version. Whether this is allowable depends on the copyright status of the image: most Wikipedias are less stringent about copyright than Commons is. I've tried to check the copyright status of this image, but my understanding of Portuguese, and of the media viewer, isn't good enough. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 07:06, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
*Hello {{U|Yohan Anthony Sunanda}}. Why I am not a Portuguese speaker, Portuguese is close enough to languages I can speak that I can gather from the big disclaimer in [[:pt:Ficheiro:Alfredo_Bruto_da_Costa.jpg]] was taken produced by ABdC's party that retains some copyright over the photograph. This would make it ineligible to transfer to Commons, because it is non-free content. However, I believe it could be uploaded to en-wp; you need to check the image satisfies all of the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]] (I think the real difficulty is #1: if there is another photo, even of a lower quality, that is free, you should use that instead). If so, go to [[Wikipedia:Upload]] and follow the steps (and then, include the photograph with the usual syntax of linking to its name, see [[Wikipedia:Image tutorial]]).
:As a side point (it does not apply there, but you may want to keep it in mind for future cases) the usual understanding of [[WP:NFCC]] #1's {{tq|...or could be created...}} clause is that it forbids the use of non-free photographs of living people (since someone could always go photograph them - I ''think'' it would not apply to a exceptions such as prisoners in North Korea, but it would likely not apply to any public figure in the Western world).

== [[Draft:Kesari Tours]]==
Hi everyone,
I have re-submitted article under Article For Creation. I prepared it considering all Wikipedia guidelines. Can any editor review to check if present article meets Wikipedia policy. If it passes please approve it. If there is any problem, help me to fix it. Thank you so much.--[[Special:Contributions/150.242.197.120|150.242.197.120]] ([[User talk:150.242.197.120|talk]]) 15:54, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

:I doubt that a reviewer will accept the draft, because it lacks citations of reliable ''independent'' published sources with ''in-depth discussion'' of the subject. I have checked all the references, and find that
:*1, 2 and 12 are based on statements by Kesari, and so not independent
:*3 and 13 are based on statements by other employees of the business, and so not independent
:*4, 8, 10 and 11 are lists of award-winners, with no discussion of the business
:*5 and 9 are business listings, with no independent discussion
:*6 is "sponsored content", ''i.e.'' an advertisement paid for by the business, and so not independent
:Only 7 is, marginally, acceptable in helping to establish that the business in [[WP:N|notable]]. But I doubt that it will be enough. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 17:40, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
