I removed an edit to the page of a living person (politician) that referenced an article that cannot satisfy Wikipedia Verifiability guidelines. This was reverted by what looks to me as an anonymous user. I'm trying to start a Talk page to further expound on my reasons for the removal, and open it up for discussion.

I tried editing a page that has Talk:{page name}, but it's not appearing on the page.

Can anyone point me to something that good description of how I should start a Talk page?

Also, is multi-hex value user name a Wikipedia bot, or as I think it is, an anonymous user? Gbonline (talk) 01:08, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

:The discussion is now going on where it should, at Talk:Dave Min. The multi-hex value user name is a new-style IP address. Anonymous editors are as entitled as anybody else to edit here and to take part in discussions. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:25, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Why haven't you started the 2018-19 NHL team articles there is only one NHL team because the others were too soon you need to start making 2018-19 Buffalo Sabers season 2018-19 Dallas Stars and 2018-19 NY Rangers season. 169.55.19.145 (talk) 01:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

:Presumably because no-one from the appropriate project has got around to them yet. You could raise the matter at the project page or you could start them yourself... see :WP:YFA, :WP:WIZ and :WP:AfC, or request an article at :WP:RA. It has been mentioned to you previously that this page does not exist to demand edits be made. Eagleash (talk) 07:05, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

So I just checked the references for UBS and they're red for some reason. It says: "Cite error: Invalid tag; name ":4" defined multiple times with different content"... what does that mean? I tried to fix it but seem to be making it worse. Can someone take a look at/fix it? Whats happening to the references? LivinRealGüd (talk) 01:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

: The "help" link in the error message goes to Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key, so you need to read that page. The problem is that you tried to name a new reference with when an existing reference already had the name ":4". (The same applies to quite a number of your other reference names.) If you intend to use the new reference only once you don't need to give it a name, but if you want to use it more than once you need to give it a new unique name that has not already been used. For further help, see Help:Referencing for beginners#Same reference used more than once. --David Biddulph (talk) 02:49, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=Volchok1|ts=17:27:56, 18 May 2018|accepted=Adjusted_RevPAR}}

To whom it may concern.

A new article has recently been created and approved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjusted_RevPAR. The name of the index is either Adjusted RevPAR or ARPAR or AdjRevPAR.

I have a few questions:

1. How do I ensure that the readers can find this article using either of the 3 names in the search?

2. There is an article on Arpar that already exists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpar), which is a village in India. How do I edit it (or create another one that references both articles) to allow people to navigate to the ARPAR index article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjusted_RevPAR)?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Volchok1 (talk) 17:27, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Volchok1}} - firstly, with regard to search you don't need to do anything. If you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=arpar search for ARPAR], the article you created and the one for the village in India are the top two results. Readers will have no problem finding either.

:As for a note on Arpar to direct people to Adjusted_RevPAR, you could put an {{tl|about}} template at the top of each, along the lines of {{About|the village|the performance metric|Adjusted_RevPAR}} (reverse the order for the other page). Richard⁰⁶¹² 18:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Life and career

John Jones Jr. was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of a Dallas-based R&B guitarist, Johnny B. Jones. Through his father's work, he was introduced to house guests such as Freddie King, L. C. Clark, Ernie Johnson and Little Joe Blue. Jones began playing the guitar by the age of five, by which time he had acquired his nickname Tutu from his father.[3]

He began his career in adolescence, as a drummer, graduating from backing his uncles Barefoot Miller and L. C. Clark (the latter in 1976)[2] to working with Z. Z. Hill and R. L. Burnside.[1][4]

Meanwhile, working on his own guitar playing, by 1989 Jones had moved on to fronting his own bands.[3] This in led to the recording of his debut album, I'm For Real, on JSP Records in 1994.[1] It was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award.[2] Blues Texas Soul followed two years later, and Staying Power in 1998.[1][4]

A live album, Tutu Jones Live, was issued in 2005 by Doc Blues Records. A journalist at the Austin Chronicle then stated, "bluesmen are traditionalists, but Jones learns how to mesh soulful wails with syrupy blues that are as sweaty live as they are in quiet studios."[5]

His album Inside Out was released by CD Baby in 2009.[4]

:Hello, {{U|Backupbass}}. I'm afraid the simple answer is that you don't. Wikipedia may not be used for promotion of any kind. If several people who have no connection with you have chosen to write about you (not directly based on any material from you such as an interview of press release) and been published in a source with a reputation for editorial control, such as a major newspaper or a book from a reputable publisher, then there can be an article about you, based almost entirely on what these independent people have published about you. It will not be your article, it will not in any way be controlled by you, it should have little material in it originating from you, and you are strongly discouraged from writing or editing it directly (see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY). If there are such sources, you can request that somebody write an article about you at requested articles, but there is no guarantee that a volunteer will pick up you request. Please also see WP:NMUSICIAN. --ColinFine (talk) 22:54, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

In "background Information" for a person, how is "Origin" different from "Born"? In my understanding of these words, they are the same. One's origin is where one originated. That means where one was born. How can a person originate in a different place from that of his birth? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎ Wikievil666 (talk • contribs) 22:10, May 18, 2018 (UTC)

• For example people of Indian origin born in the United States. I_0urclc5 22:30, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

:Hi, {{U|Wikievil666}}. Words often have more than one meaning (see Polysemy). The relevant meaning here is (from [http://www.dictionary.com/browse/origin?s=t dictionary.com]) "4. ancestry; parentage; extraction: (example) to be of Scottish origin." --ColinFine (talk) 10:16, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
