How to differentiate between two sources

Are Forbes and Forbes Media two different websites? I have seen reliable sources noticeboard of wikipedia. There I found the name of website "Forbes" but I couldn't find the name "Forbes Media" there. I am totally confused whether to trust "Forbes" or "Forbes Media" to extract the information. Could anyone help?

Does WP:RSP help any? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On WP:RSP it is not indicated that "Forbes Media" is reliable or not.It's indicated that "Forbes" is reliable. Then what about "Forbes Media"? Please anyone make this confusion clear so, that I can edit further.

Change headline of page's name

Hello,

I am trying to change the name of a company in a wikipedia page, however, the program doesn't offer a section to edit this portion (header of the page) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1170:9FA0:75C0:68C5:9BB8:9F56 (talk) 19:01, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is done by moving the page to a new name. You can request the move at WP:RM RudolfRed (talk) 19:19, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Searching

So, like many others I tend to go for Wikipedia when I want to know more about a subject. Recently I have been having a hard time finding articles that I would expect to exist. For example, there does not seem to be a designated page for the sleep cycle of Wolves, and in-fact when I search the Wolf Wikipedia page, aside from mentioning that they are nocturnal once, it doesn’t mention sleep at all. I recall reading(on Wikipedia) that wolves often sleep with one eye open, so I am fairly sure that there is a page or at least a subsection somewhere that talks about them and yet I am just unable to find it using the normal search bar. Is there someplace else I should be looking?

@SW15B: you can do "advanced searches". Do an ordinary search (like "wolf") but then click on the last suggestion, which will be "containing wolf". Then at the top fo the search results page, ther is an "advanced search" box that you can fill in. -Arch dude (talk) 00:18, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
