Wrong use of the word "regulated"

[edit]

Several times the article uses the word "regulated" or "well-regulated", but it is in a context where that word doesn't actually make sense. These appear to be uses translated from the Spanish version on Wiki, but the attempt to translate from Spanish verb (Regularizar) to an English verb that sounds similar doesn't work here. However, I can't figure out what the sense in the Spanish is either. Someone with better knowledge of Spanish could probably fix this. Wikisjcher (talk) 11:01, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Needs Tag

[edit]

I can't add it because the page is semi-protected and I am not an auto-confirmed user. Wikisjcher (talk) 11:01, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can we've Lock this content against vandalism?

[edit]

This past is many bogus edits. It could use some down-time. Chinux (talk) 06:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lock biographies when they become Google doodles?

[edit]

This page seems to be getting a lot of vandalism due to heightened attention from Google. When I originally clicked on the doodle I got a description from Wikipedia in the search results that was clearly vandalized. I can only imagine how many people saw this description before it was reverted. I think it would best for Wikipedia pages on biographies to be locked when they became Google doodles, especially when the person is related to controversial topics.

Update: The main description has been vandalized again since writing. This appears very unprofessional on Wikipedia's part. MindPrism (talk) 06:47, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been semi-protected now and all of the vandalism has been reverted. Wikipedia doesn't receive a warning when a Google Doodle goes up. A protection request was added to WP:RFPP. I noticed the problem from the large of edits. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:59, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I COMPLETELY agree with this edit!!!!!! please fix it. Otherwise Wikipedia looks like a FOOL. As the sentence stands now, the meaning in English, is that she both "fought for" and "wrote against" (these two action oppose one another and are confusing. Wait, I thought she was AGAINST "segregation, racial oppression, and poor education"? Why is she fighting for segregation, racial oppression, and poor education?

No idea what the talk about another heading is over. Maybe it was added accidently?

Either way, FIX THIS! All you have to do is remove the word "for" and you are good to go.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlwv (talkcontribs) 20:32, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dlwv, this article was semi-protected, which means that any account over 4 days old with at least 10 edits can edit it. Since your account met the requirements, you could have done this yourself. — Newslinger talk 15:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need a whole section?

[edit]

It's literally just one sentence. Who added the header? 2601:500:8501:5229:392E:CA79:4C58:898F (talk) 17:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
