Peer review box broken

Hi there. I asked for a peer review for List of Saturday Night Live incidents a few months ago, which was satisfied and archived. What SHOULD happen is that a link to the peer review is easily accessible on the talk page of the article. However, the article was moved from "Saturday Night Live incidents" to "List of Saturday Night Live incidents", meaning the box on the talk page is now a redlink. Can somebody fix it? I don't know how to. StewdioMACK ^{Talk page} 04:29, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it by creating a redirect at Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Saturday Night Live incidents/archive1 which leads to the peer review. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 04:47, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Family of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Hi there Could you please alter the title of REFERENCE number 4 on the page "Family of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge"?

This reference (number 4) should be correctly spelt and have capital letters. It should read as such: A Photographic Archive of Leeds

Thanks so much Mike

Done As this is Wikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit, you could have made that change yourself. Rwessel (talk) 06:08, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

but it is tricky editing references, since they are not where inexperienced users expect to find them. --ColinFine (talk) 08:04, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article name and move to new title

Can it really be "Sint Maarten Heineken Regatta". Shouldn't it be Saint Maarten Heineken Regatta? If appropriate, could you change the name? Thanks. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:09, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as it takes place at Sint Maarten (the Dutch portion of the island of Saint Martin) it seems logical to call it the Sint Maarten Heineken Regatta .... - Arjayay (talk) 12:18, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

7&6=thirteen, in case it isn't clear, "Sint" is the Dutch equivalent of "Saint", like Spanish "San" or "Santo". Deor (talk) 19:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We generally do not translate proper names, unless English reliable sources usually do so too. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:36, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information

Just for your information. Wilmer and thw Dukes banded in 1956. All rehersals where done at the Holiday Bar in downtown Geneva, Ny, no place else. We rehersed on Sunday afternoon and played the Holiday Bar Sunday nights. There was no rehersing at train depo's or any other place that has been mentioned. The group members where white. Wilmer was black. Ralph Gillotti did not come into the group until 1960 when he got out of the service hired by Phil Trunzo. The original Trio was Wilmer, Ronnie Alberts,Phil Trunzo on keyboard. John Bouckouz came into the group in 1958 who was the first guitar player. These people got the group started and got them well known. Phil left the group in 1962 and went on his own having a million record sell in 1964 called "Last Kiss" with J Frank Wilson and the cavelliars. The bank memebers that came in after some of the original members left was all they had to do was play. The original members already set the path for there success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.247.136.27 (talk) 12:13, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The History section of Wilmer & the Dukes is unreferenced, but so is your statement above. Do you know anywhere that this information has been published in a reliable source - a book or magazine? - Arjayay (talk) 12:23, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inspection Medical Hermeneutics

I created this page today with quite a bit of information, links and some sources. I intended to add a lot more information. But it seems to have been deleted although I cant find it in the deleted log. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dick37 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dick37: Nope, it's still there, at Inspection Medical Hermeneutics. I think page names are case-sensitive, so that might have been the problem. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

María Elena Velasco

Hi, actress María Elena Velasco recently passed away and was wondering if someone could upload a fair use image. Specifically this one: http://www.imcine.gob.mx/comunicacion-social/comunicados-y-noticias/imcine-lamenta-el-fallecimiento-de-la-actriz-maria-elena-velasco-la-india-maria IMCINE is a government agency so the image may be public domain, but I couldn't find any information confirming this. 66.87.75.121 (talk) 18:16, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm asking for fair use since it is very unlikely that we'll find a public domain picture of her: copyright is super long in Mexico (creators life + 100 years) and prior to her 2014 movie the actress had been out of the spotlight for over a decade.66.87.75.121 (talk) 18:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of pages with Maintenance category.

Hello all. I am looking for information about automatically tagging pages with a maintenance category. Specifically, I am working on fire department pages and am trying to find a way to tag any fire department that doesnt have coordinates on their page ({{coord}}) with a maintenance category. I have done something similar for images. So any page that uses {{Infobox fire department}} and does not provided a logo parameter is automatically added to the Category:Fire departments needing logos, which is a maintenance category. What I would like to do is have a check that says "Does this page use {{coord}}, if not then added it to Category:Fire departments needing coordinates." Alternatively, can I request a bot to do this? Not sure what the best play here is. I would rather not manually check every department... Thanks in advance! --Zackmann08 (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Anomebot2 is the bot that adds {{coord missing}} to articles lacking them, but that template mostly sorts articles needing coordinates according to their locations rather than according to the types of objects involved (which puts the articles in categories like Category:Afghanistan articles missing geocoordinate data and Category:Alabama articles missing geocoordinate data). We do have a very few categories for specific types of objects, which depend on the use of a particular infobox in the articles—such as Category:Wikipedia infobox amusement park articles without coordinates‎ and Category:Wikipedia infobox observatory articles without coordinates—but I'm not sure exactly how those work. I recommend that you ask at User talk:The Anome or perhaps at WT:GEO to see if someone familiar with the technicalities of how the latter categories are populated can help you work something out. Deor (talk) 18:55, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This Catscan2 query generates a list of articles in Category:Fire departments (incl. 3 levels of sub-categories), which don't have Template:coord in the article. Note: That list includes a few mis-categorizations to be cleaned up before using. But having this list cleaned up, you'll still need some script-user to go through the list and categorize its articles with your maintenance category. GermanJoe (talk) 19:09, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@GermanJoe: That is the single coolest thing I have ever seen. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! --Zackmann08 (talk) 20:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Upload photo to page

Re: Katherine Flegal

I just edited a biographical article about Katherine Flegal (my wife), and now I want to upload a B&W headshot. How do I do this? The photo is her property. John Spitzer — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaturnBeulah (talk • contribs) 20:41, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But whose property is the copyright in the photo? Unless it is a selfie, the photographer normally retains all copyright in the picture. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraphs order

Is there any policy, recommendation, regarding the way paragraphs are ordered, especially when there is no logical order to follow, like for example a list of non-related items having all the same hierarchical level ?--88.188.131.139 (talk) 21:35, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a hard time visualizing the problem. Can you link to a specific article where you see this being an issue? --Jayron 32 23:13, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where would I report a reverse COPYVIO?

I can't quite seem to find the right place to mention this, so I'll try here and hope someone redirects me or something. Today I was poking at the famousfix.com website, which is a sort of celebrity tracking site. I noticed on this page for Airi & Meiri that the "lists" there include "Pornographic actor stubs" which is almost undoubtedly drawn from Category:Pornographic actor stubs and therefore indicates that famousfix.com is importing (or once imported) the bulk of their data from Wikipedia. Which would be fine, except that they seem to be violating 7.g of the Terms of Use by not providing any attribution (that I can find), much less attribution in accord with the licenses. They merely mention in the page footer "FamousFix content is contributed and edited by our readers. You are most welcome to update, correct or add information to this page." And then they claim copyright on the page contents.

So that strikes me as clearly not right, and possibly a problem, but while it's easy to see how to handle issues of Wikipedia violating someone else's copyright, I have been unable to discover how to handle the case of someone else violating Wikipedia's ToU & licenses. Is this post enough, and it will trickle to where it needs to go, or can someone direct me (either here or on my User_talk)? Thanks. —KGF0 ( T | C ) 22:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request for review

Hi someone,

Could an experience editor review my page ? A nice editor advised me, and I followed everything, but maybe someone else, has more to say about it and can add an opinion, so my page will not be rejected.

Thanks in advance

Hello @Bichonneau: I looked at Draft:Vanina Takvorian and reviewed the references. It does not appear based on the references that Takvorian is notable by Wikipedia's standards. If a book has been written about her, or there have been significant news articles written specifically about her, she would probably be considered notable. I suggest looking over Wikipedia:Notability to see if you think she meets that standard. SchreiberBike | ⌨
