Grammar for "that slowed down the Prefrontal Synthesis (PFS) critical period"
I need some help from an expert. Under the The Romulus and Remus hypothesis section, it says:
1. A genetic mutation that slowed down the Prefrontal Synthesis (PFS) critical period of at least two children that lived together
What is being slowed down? Is it "the Prefrontal Synthesis critical period" or is it "the Prefrontal Cortex critical period"? In the Critical period hypothesis article in WP, it says "Recently, it has been suggested that if a critical period [in language development] does exist, it may be due at least partially to the delayed development of the prefrontal cortex in human children." I can't find any reference to "slowing down" the Prefrontal Synthesis critical period or even what a PFS critical period is. It seems to me that the original author may have entered Synthesis when they meant to say Cortex.
Could someone explain what critical period applies to Prefrontal Synthesis and how it may be "slowed down"? Or maybe revise the indented sentence above, removing "slowed down" and substituting, say, "delayed the development of the Prefrontal Synthesis (or Cortex) critical period...". You might have to explain how the PFC affects the PFS. My guess is that the article is technically right but they just don't explain enough for us linguistic novices.
Hi there,
Nielsen is now releasing Live +30 day DVR ratings for TV shows. I often update the DVR ratings for The Conners and would like to begin adding the +30 18-49 and +30 total viewer ratings, but am unsure of how to name it on the table. For example, the Live+7 18-49 ratings are listed on Wiki pages as | dvr1 =XX, and Live_7 viewers are listed as | total1 =XX and the overall final rating with the +7 factored in as | totalv1 =XX, what would I title the +30 ratings as in order for them to show up correctly in the table?
Your draft has been submitted for review. Please see the note at the top of the submission notice which indicates that this can take up to four months. In the meantime you should perhaps read WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Please remember to provide links when asking for help. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 03:41, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Successfully writing a new Wikipedia article is the hardest task on Wikipedia. It is even harder when one is attempting to write about themselves or their own organization or group. You have what is called at conflict of interest in writing about your own group, and as such you should not write about it directly. There are indirect ways to do so, including Articles for Creation. However, you group would need to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources in order to merit an article here. Not every organization merits an article here, even within the same field. 331dot (talk) 09:36, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Small caps within citation templates
The conventions in some areas of chemical naming involves small caps. For example, the naturally-occurring form of the sugar ribose is d-ribose, which I can write within text using the template form {{sm|d}}. However, this template is incompatible with citation templates. How do I render d-ribose correctly (such as from a journal article like doi:10.1016/S0065-2164(08)70462-3) without getting an error "templatestyles stripmarker in |title= at position 24 (help)" where the help link points to this advice that I can't figure out how to follow? I looked at the template and MOS documentation but it seems to be mostly about avoiding inappropriate use of small caps but not how to make them work in appropriate cases where the template doesn't work. Help, please.
Use the Unicode small caps version: ᴅ? See Small caps § Unicode from which you can copy/pasta all but small X. This:

I'm afraid not, Ahmed Nader Khalifa: none of the sources there is independent of the company. The first two are clearly based on press releases from the company; the second is just a restating of its own financial reporting. Wikipedia is basically not interested in anything that the subject of an article says about itself. Every Wikipedia article should be based on places where people who have no connection whatever with the subject, and entirely unprompted by the subject, have chosen to publish some substantial writing about the subject. That is what the tag is requiring, and it will not be removed until a few such have been added. If there are no such sources, then the subject fails notability, and the article should be deleted. --ColinFine (talk) 11:41, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Wikipedia article linked to my business on Google

Are you by any chance referring to a photo or text shown to the right of a Google search? Google's Knowledge Graph uses a wide variety of sources. There may be a text paragraph ending with "Wikipedia" to indicate that particular text was copied from Wikipedia. An image and other text before or after the Wikipedia excerpt may be from sources completely unrelated to Wikipedia. We have no control over how Google presents our information, but Google's Knowledge Graph has a "Feedback" link where anyone can mark a field as wrong.
@98.0.130.18: - OxonAlex is correct, but as a bit of additional advice outside the scope of Wikipedia, Google can be slow to respond to requests to fix incorrect info - you may have to submit the feedback form several times over a period of weeks before the info is corrected. If you set a daily reminder and stay persistent, it should be fixed eventually. You can also ask others at the company to submit the same feedback.

[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.

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]

creating a profile and article about our company
Hi,
I'd like to ask how we can write something about our company's profile.
We are a newspaper here in the UAE and we are in the list of the Wikipedia but we would like to give more information about us.
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]

Updated tag removal
Hello all. Yesterday, the WikiProject Yorkshire Clean up page was updated with about 20 MP's with a tag at the bottom stating This article needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (December 2019). I have updated the relevant parts of the article, but I cannot find where the tag is to remove it. There is no obvious entry in the log to show when it was inserted, and from best that I can see, there is nothing on either the article or talk page that indicates some sort of parameter to amend so that the tag disappears.
@Coolmanwy: When your edits are reverted, you should discuss the situation with the editor who reverted them. The place to discuss is the talk page of the affected atricle. See WP:BRD. In this case, your edit to stands added a very obscure meaning that does not merit its own article and does not even warrant its own section in the linked article, so it's not a good candidate for an entry in a disambiguation page. -Arch dude (talk) 16:33, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

entries in that section are built from the "reflist". Each ref is up in the earlier text of the article that points to the ref, enclosed in "ref" tags. To edit a ref, edit the section in which the ref appears. -Arch dude (talk) 16:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I’ve noticed the fundraising on Wikipedia has gotten more, well, aggressive is the word that comes to mind. I don’t begrudge you that. It’s a valuable service that society needs and should support. And, Wikipedia wouldn’t be Wikipedia if folks’ access to it were limited, especially the access of those who can least afford to financially support it. So, asking for donations makes perfect sense.
But...I very recently donated. And that wasn’t my first time. And I’m still seeing Wikipedia covered up with ads from the top and bottom, asking me to donate.
Might it be possible, using cookies or something else, to give people who consistently and generously donate a breather from the constant requests?
I truly do not understand why I can not ask to have a biography about me removed from the site?
The reporting that you site is inaccurate. The event was expunged by the court system in PA and I never took any anger management course yet you insist on keeping that in my bio when it was sourced from a tabloid type newspaper with information not supplied by the court.
What can I do to elevate this problem? Either remove that sentence from my bio or take it down all together.
Sup Helpdeskers. D'you happen to know whether it's possible to invert the selected tags? I.e. so that the watchlist excludes them rather than includes them? ——SN5412918:02, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can add something like this to your common.js:
I donated to Wikipedia several weeks ago, and yet I'm still confronted with the locked donation plea. Could this be my setting or am I being punished for being generous.
Done Page titles are changed by moving the page to a new location. The link to do so is via the 'more' tab at the top of the page. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: 
Are you by any chance referring to a photo or text shown to the right of a Google search? Google's Knowledge Graph uses a wide variety of sources. There may be a text paragraph ending with "Wikipedia" to indicate that particular text was copied from Wikipedia. An image and other text before or after the Wikipedia excerpt may be from sources completely unrelated to Wikipedia. We have no control over how Google presents our information, but Google's Knowledge Graph has a "Feedback" link where anyone can mark a field as wrong.
