[edit] Music/Artist Article Editing/Authorization Help

I work for a record label and i'm trying to update and create articles for our artists. However I have run into problems with other users editing our content and deleting our articles. How do we get authorization to creat/edit without these users deleting our articles? Please let me know. Thanks, RK —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rebecca Kelly (talk • contribs) 01:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

At the bottom of the page when you click edit button is this:
"Please note:
If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." and...
"See our policies and guidelines for more information on editing."
You also need to look at WP:COI for conflict of interest, as well as WP:Notability and realise that wikipedia is not a proxy website for your business artists. Julia Rossi (talk) 01:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
To re-iterate part of what Julia Rossi said, any artist that you add to Wikipedia has to satisfy certain standards of notability. see WP:Notability. If indeed you do work for a record label then your artists would probably have published their music and produced CDs - and amongst other things they have appeared in public, on TV, etc etc -- these are some things that should help notability, but notability depends on the particular topic: in your case the notability for musical groups.

[edit] Mortal Kombat

Is true that in the SNES version of Mortal Kombat 1, Test your Might segments are done after a fight, not before a fight, as explained in this site? David Pro (talk) 19:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. In the SNES version they're done between the continue screen and the fighter select screen. In the arcade version they're done after the fighter select screen. --jh51681 (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] i am legend

hi all, several times during the above film, robert neville (will smith), splashes a liquid from a 'science lab looking container' (one you would expect a specific chemical to be in), clear liquid, which, by context, he is using to protect himself against the 'infected' and 'cover his tracks' on the front steps of his house - i surmise that it is sometype of disinfectant/bleach, but wonder if anyone has another view, have checked the offical site, IMDb etc thankee y'all Perry-mankster (talk) 19:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

In the book, there are large references to the 'infected' being vampires, so I assumed it was garlic, or garlic oil. Hpfreak26 (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I thought it was dog urine. --70.167.58.6 (talk) 20:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
