Basic Income in Canada (merging)

There are two articles on Basic income in Canada. 1. Guaranteed Annual Income , 2. Basic income in Canada. They need to merge. Can someone fix that? --Mats33 (talk) 23:20, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

can you provide some reasoning for the merge. It seems that if anything GAI would merge into a section of Basic Income, however both seem to have enough coverage to warrant their own independent articles. Tiggerjay (talk) 10:20, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Mobile / Desktop loads different pages

Hello,

The HomeSlice Group Page display is confusing me. When creating the page we did not have enough sources listed so it was marked for speedy deletion. Afterwards we fixed the problems and it was removed from Speedy Deletion and I continued to edit. The problem is the mobile view still has the original problematic information. The confusing part is - when you are on your desktop and click mobile view the correct version shows up. But when you pull it up on an actual mobile device the old page (w/ page issues marked for speedy deletion) pulls up. Regardless if they are a first time visitor or not. Have tried the page cache purge several times as well - still no resolution.

Apologies if this is listed somewhere and I could not find - and Thank You in advance if you know how to resolve this. Bjurgensen (talk) 01:11, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

May I ask who are "we"? Mlpearc (open channel) 01:13, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

"we" = I work at the company, and listed it on the talk page to make everybody aware. Bjurgensen (talk) 01:19, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Others have noticed that something is wrong with the mobile site: Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 142#en.m.wikipedia.org stuck and Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Wikipedia pages and their edits are "out of date" on mobile and other devices. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

South-up map orientation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Resolved

Hello, I've been engaged in discussion with another editor using this article's talk page, but could use some help from a neutral 3rd party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:South-up_map_orientation). The disagreement involves the discussion of social psychology research relating to interpreting the significance and meaning of south-up map orientation. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a professor of social psychology and have been involved in some research related to this topic, though this topic has been explored and replicated independently by a number of different research labs. From my perspective, research experiments relating verticality (up/down) in general to valance (good/bad) is extremely central to understanding and interpreting why south-up maps are interesting and meaningful (not "trivial"). Several of the experiments I tried to cite actually presented participants with a map oriented to have south at the top vs. south at the bottom and then measured how that influenced participants' judgments of real estate value. The other editor (Strebe) would like to summarize this section ("Psychological significance") to 1 sentence citing 1 source, and I believe 3 sentences citing 3 peer-reviewed sources would strengthen the entry. Please advise. Arlenmoller (talk) 23:29, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

This forum does not provide dispute resolution, but only advice about how to edit. If only two editors are involved, you might want to request a Third Opinion to obtain a neutral observer's opinion about the dispute. For other dispute resolution possibilities consider the various options listed in the dispute resolution policy. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:48, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Kamcord (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hello editors,

I have made great improvements to the stub article on Kamcord.

I have reached the limit of what I can do on my own and request help with the following three issues:

1. I am an employee of Kamcord and disclosed that I am in my talk page as advised. While I took great care to be as neutral as possible someone neutral should review my work.

2. I can't seem to get the company logo or a preview picture of the website to show up correctly in the summary on the righthand side. I think it's because my account does not have the proper permissions. Could someone add those so it looks polished?

3. I addressed many of the items in "Multiple Issues." If you feel I have done so sufficiently, could that warning section be removed by a neutral editor

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Power Without Glory book

I have just written and published 'Power Without Glory' subtitled 'Racing the Big-Twin Cooper' ISBN 978-0-9943661-0-8. It is an illustrated motorsport history book.

There is already a page which says 'Power Without Glory' is a novel. There appears to be no provision to edit this to mention the new book which clearly comes under the same heading as it presently is. Could you please advise how to handle this?

The new book should have its own article with a distinguishing title (such as "Power Without Glory (nonfiction book)" or something similar). But that's only if the new book is notable which, if it's "just" been published, is pretty unlikely (though possible, and congratulations to you if you've already received that kind of coverage). You, however should not write that article or write about the book in other parts of Wikipedia, as to do so may be seen as spamming. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 22:05, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

This isn't acceptable, is it??

Improvements to Beau Burchell and referencing questions.

I recently did a bit of an adoption for the article for musician Beau Burchell and had some questions regarding referencing. He appears to be a very prolific producer and I had a question regarding referencing his credits. I can find him in the credits for all of the albums that he is listed as being involved in, and I was wondering if it was good practice to reference a source for every album. The most steady references point to either Discogs or Allmusic and I didn't want to go overboard if it wasn't necessary. It would result in a rather long reference list for a relatively short article.
