About my father’s name, which is Spelled wrong

Need to change it and I can’t Greenorchid74 (talk) 22:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but where is it? I need to know the article and the wrong spelling to find it, and then I need to know the right spelling to fix it. --Bduke (talk) 22:14, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Under Fereydoun Asgarzadeh Last name is not Asgharzadeh There is no H after G Greenorchid74 (talk) 22:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My father is was a National soccer head coach of Iranian National team. I need to put all his information there. Is not complete. Whoever started didn’t know much. His last name is totally wrong. Asgarzadeh is correct Asgharzadeh is wrong. No H after G. It would sound totally different name Greenorchid74 (talk) 22:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a link to the article where this spelling is wrong. I'm busy. I do not have time to search for it. Find the name of the article and type it between [[ ]] here. That links straight to the article.--Bduke (talk) 23:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is Iran national football team the right article? I see nothing there about your father. --Bduke (talk) 23:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All good. I have fixed it for you. --Bduke (talk) 05:31, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From one Brian to another ...

Dear Brian,

I presume that you, "Brian J Duke", also answer to "Brian Salter-Duke", and that we have been colleagues within the Australian physical/theoretical chemistry scene for many years. I knew of your presence in Darwin and our paths may have crossed at an RACI Physical Chemistry Division meeting or two. I see that you have published with Fritz Schaefer (wnom I knew in the 1970s & 1980s) and with my good friend Leo Radom (who was 2 years behind me at Sydney; he also sat next to my wife Marilyn in primary school - they were the smallest kids in their class!). I did not know that you had moved to Monash U quite some time ago.

Thanks for your helpful comments. I'm not too sure what you mean by "you have to be very careful about editing your own article". I have read Wikipedia's instructions in that regard and have tried to make my article rigorously factual and to avoid self-aggrandisement. The main reason why I wanted to update my Wikipedia entry is that it was originally written some years ago without my knowledge by an unidentified colleague and was neither accurate nor up-to-date. (I have an idea who it might have been; he was well-intentioned but probably did it to promote one of his publications.)

I've made some further refinements to my article since yesterday (including two extra references and some format corrections). Perhaps you would care to look at my latest effort and suggest any possible improvements or a better way to deal with the "self-publishing" aspect that Wikipedia discourages.

Kind regards, Brian OrrOnkusorrus (talk) 06:42, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not following your edit here. He did change allegiance - he quit the CLP and founded the rebel NT Nationals. No party was renamed? The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I got that wrong. My memory from my days in the NT was not up to it. --Bduke (talk) 11:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
