I am a geologist with the University of Georgua AND part of the family that owns the Nodoric site. Whoever created this wiki entry is posting factually false information. This is a peat bog NOT a mud volcanon or volcano of any kind. Based on some of the references, I believe I know who might be responsible. He has let it be k iw to me before that he objects to professionals on the basis that we are professionals. Richard Thornton us widely a discredited name in the archeology field and he is in no way a geologist. I really don't have time to edit this whole site. It needs to be deleted. Please advise. --GAgeologist (talk) 14:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GAgeologist: Hello, I'm not a geologist so I can't judge the accuracy here, I suggest you raise your issues at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Volcanoes or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology to sort out any concerns, good luck! Shellwood (talk) 14:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to say the creator of the article asked for its deletion and looking at the deleted copy it had terrible sources.

Thornton is a fraud and a pretty nasty one at that given the things he's said about me here and off wiki. :) Doug Weller talk 11:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I recently added a bunch of public and private companies to the page titled Companies in New Orleans. I saw that you removed my edits and I was wondering if you could help me understand why. Thanks! Anna793 (talk) 18:58, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna793: The purpose of that category is to assemble articles about companies in New Orleans and not to create a list of external links about every company in the state, no article=no entry. Shellwood (talk) 12:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! Thank you for the clarification. I was hoping to edit the page to look something like this "List of corporations in Pittsburgh - Wikipedia". Would that work if I only linked to Wiki articles? Anna793 (talk) 15:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna793: Yes only if the corporation has an article will they be listed in the category, and links aren't added manually at the category page, more info about how thats done can be found here: Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#How_do_I_add_an_article_to_a_category?.

Where did you learn how to edit Wikipedia? How do I avoid bots attacking me? --Dfsjlk1 (talk) 06:07, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dfsjlk1: I learned by trial and error, and also by reading policies and guidelines. I can't see any "attacks" on you, only warnings and advice from coming experienced users. I suggest you get familiar with the MOS being discussed and you might find this WP:ORG useful, good luck! Shellwood (talk) 10:41, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, think you and i will look into MOS and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) -- page moving I don't know how that work. How would one lose editing privileges or banned but you can't delete accounts. Dfsjlk1 (talk) 03:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dfsjlk1: Your account can be still be blocked. You can read about moving pages here: Wikipedia:Moving_a_page#How_to_move_a_page.

Hello I appreciate everything Wikipedia does but I at present I have no desire to do anything but add the occasional comment (as I think I just did on the "Staten Island" page).
