Howdy hello and welcome to the help desk. I'm afraid that the protection level won't be lowered at the moment. If you would like a change made, please ask for it on the article's talk page (Talk:Mukesh Ambani). Alternatively, you can register an account; after making 10 edits and having a tenure of 4 days, you may edit semi-protected pages such as Mukesh Ambani.

[Edit Conflict] It is doubtless protected for good reason, such as persistent vandalism, or persistent attempts to edit it incorrectly by Wikipedia's standards and policies. Instead:
go to its Talk page and open a New Section,
list the exact additions, removals and/or changes of text etc. that you want done together with links to or citations of the Reliable sources that support each of these changes, and
wait for an enabled editor to consider them, check the sources and make the changes that they think appropriate.
May I correct a mistake about Sam Smith's site, under his Personal Life heading. Sam has never linked the album 'In The Lonely Hour' with his short-term boyfriend, Jonathon Zeizel. For a start the album is about a straight man, and Zeizel is gay. Sam has never revealed the identity of the person who is married. It is important to change this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JillBirks (talk • contribs) 06:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JillBirks: If you see an unreferenced assertion about a living person in any article, you can and should remove it immediately: no discussion is needed. See WP:BLP. If you are not comfortable editing the article yourself, then raise the issue on the article's talk page. If the assertion is referenced to a reliable source, you should not remove it without discussion, but you may introduce a statement referenced to a reliable source that contradicts the statement in question. -Arch dude (talk) 07:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Information change (Sky Angkor Airlines)
Hope all is well with you.
By way of brief introduction, this is Jay from Sky Angkor Airlines.
I am sending this message to request the information change for our company (attached the link for our comapny for your reference below).
Hello, Jay. Normally anybody can edit an article, but since you are affiliated with the subject it is best you do not. The thing to do is to leave a message on the talk page Talk:Sky Angkor Airlines specifying exactly what change you want made (just as you did here), and, preferably, including a citation to a published source for the information. If you attach the template {{edit request}} (just as you see it, with the double curly brackets) to your request, then it will put it on a list of requests needing attention and somebody will see it. --ColinFine (talk) 10:10, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, at Pragmaticism#Pragmatic_maxim, how can one reduce the spacing between the second quote and the subsequent heading Pragmatism's origin to "default"? (I guess the trouble arises from the fact that there are two </blockquote> tags used one right after another.)--Hildeoc (talk) 12:17, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is there an easy way to move images uploaded to commons, that wouldn't be permitted there, but would be allowed as fair use here to be moved. I case was raised on Commons' help desk, about File:Al najma club crest.png - this is going to be deleted at commons, but was placed onto our article, and would probably be allowable under Template:Non-free use rationale logo here.
I'm quite surprised there isn't a userscript that does this. I suppose most users would know when something was fair use or not after a few attempts, so wouldn't need such a thing. Shouldn't take too long to reupload. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs)18:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your support! Please see donate:Ways to Give, which include cryptocurrency. I imagine postal or bank money orders or other check-like instruments would work, too (contact donate@wikimedia.org to verify). —[AlanM1(talk)]—17:48, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I want to get the content updated with authentic details of the Subject by taking and ensuring all the details being shared and provided by the subject. Please let me know whats the issue with your entire community for not updating and editing the correct details? Why is wikipedian so trusting its community people who are spreading fake news which are baseless the subject is here to answer all queries then why are your team is not able to identify? Like I am seriously concern if you guys can't judge the truth and remain on fake stuff then whats the use of wikipedia should shutdown this thing... simple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiamirti (talk • contribs) 18:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Iamirti Since you have no other edits besides the above, it is difficult to give you specific advice. However, please read verifiability, not truth. Wikipedia is not here to decide what is true and what is false, but to present what independent reliable sources say and allow the reader to decide for themselves.(certain other policies like WP:FRINGE and WP:UNDUE come into play as well) If you are here to be a truth fighter, you are liable to be disappointed. 331dot (talk) 18:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bluntly: subjects lie. Actors lie about their age, politicians lie about their policies, organizations lie about their successes, religions lie about their history. We're all humans; it's what humans do. Our rules about self-published content and reliable sources are an effort however flawed, to filter out as many lies and unsourced assertions as possible, in favor of information which has been checked by third parties. --Orange Mike | Talk18:48, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If I understand your intended meaning with the subject is here to answer all queries, we don't know who you are. You (or I*) could be anyone. That's another reason Wikipedia must rely on published, reliable sources with professional fact-checkers and editors with reputations to protect. (*Actually, the WMF knows my identity, but that doesn't mean I am a reliable source.) —[AlanM1(talk)]—21:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, one of the options is a bank transfer. You may be able to call your bank and initiate the transfer by phone depending on your bank. RudolfRed (talk) 19:42, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your interest in supporting Wikipedia! I think they prefer email contact (donate@wikimedia.org), which might get you a phone number of someone to talk to, depending on the exact situation. —[AlanM1(talk)]—21:20, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a statistic that shows the times of day Wikipedia is most often and least often vandalized? I would think that the afternoon hours is when Wikipedia is most often vandalized while the early morning hours would be the times Wikipedia is least often vandalized. Interstellarity (talk) 21:06, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My experience is that it is pretty much round-the-clock; it's always playtime somewhere for our global users. There are probably some stats that summarize contribs for things like ClueBot_NG. Unfortunately, xTools says it has too many contribs to process, but there might be other solutions, like downloading contrib lists and manually processing them, or maybe someone knows of another tool? —[AlanM1(talk)]—21:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Interstellarity and AlanM1: There's the Wikipedia User Contribution tool. Didn't exactly have the patience of loading all their edits, but looking at the most recent 15,000 (which is a little less than a month's worth), there's lower activity on Saturdays, Sundays, and most days between about 04:00-13:59 UTC (and especially the 05:00-08:59 part), and higher activity the rest of the time, but especially Monday-Thursday in the 14:00-20:59 range. AddWittyNameHere22:01, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@AlanM1: That's a pretty interesting visualization. As for the edit filter data, not from top of my head, no. It's possible some of the folks over at the WP:EFN know of some resource I'm not aware of or have an easier way to compile that data, though. AddWittyNameHere01:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
