Fine, and now I have a question. the Talking Drum page, I added a video. No intent to upload, just a link, which I used the 'media link' to format. And now, when I click on it, it says upload description needed? I guess I should have used another link type??
And related, how do I enter a link to another section of an entry, when editing - i.e. one that is in the table of contents? -- Dumarest 18:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[http://example.com/VideoOfAPeach Peach video]
looks like
Peach video. I think a media link is just for media uploaded to Wikipedia.The actual page is 'Tama'.
[[User_talk:Dumarest#Help_has_arrived|Test1]]
looks like
Test1 and links to the section below. I usaully just load the page and click on the section. Then I copy the url from by browser (everything after the /wiki/) and make the link.--

20:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)There is an entry for this term by itself, to a brewery. But there is also a 'Moosehead Lake' entry. There needs to be some mechanism that a search on Moosehead gives more than just the beer. -- Dumarest 23:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
A search for the first of these redirects to the second. BUT, there are a lot of 'Biscay' items and a simple redirect is not the way!-- Dumarest 23:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I entered this page to satisfy a link from the ==Tarzan== page that I added, but I was wrong - the Tarzan he played was NOT the ERB character. It is a very very very minor entry and I think it should simply be removed.-- Dumarest 12:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I see the term disambiguation in several places, and when I edit I see links that have a form that seems to link to the 'correct' site with the spelling/form in the article. What is this, and how do I add Wiki links that are correct and complete and valid. -- Dumarest 18:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I am learning. But a question. In the couscous article, the end has the following
* "The March of Couscous" article written by Farid Zadi. Traces how couscous was taken to different countries from its origins in North Africa.en:Couscous
What is that 'en:couscpus'? And if I go to edit that page, after the Categories material, there are a whole batch of these 'en' things. -- Dumarest 14:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[[fr:Couscous]]
at the bottom of the article puts a link to the FRench Wikipedia article Couscous. At
Couscous you can see the links under the toolbox (way below the search bar on the left). Someone accidentally tried to link to ENglish version (which was actually the article itself, so en:Couscous showed up.--

14:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Hi Dumarest - you added this sentence at Common Hazel:
Thanks! - MPF 10:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Your question:
In your greeting to me, you said that I might post to your page if needed. Well. I am playing with the corn bread article, intend to completely rewrite it, and at that time corn pone should disappear. But simply replacing a whole article seems not tha thing to do by just editing out the old and dropping in the new. Can one write an article and ask [you - editors ?] to comment first? And by the way, the latest edit there was minor, someone changed 'skillet bread' to 'skillet brea'. Is there such a term or why might someone have made that change?-- Dumarest 12:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
My reply: When leaving a message for people please leave them on user:talk ont user: (the message we leave for new editors isn't entirely clear about this). For one thing, I get a notice when my user talk page has been changed since I was last there. Therefore, even though I sign messages with user:RJFJR please put messages at user talk:RJFJR. It will improve how soon I notice and reply. I've moved your question to the bottom of my user talk page.
Skillet bread to skillet bread was either a typo or a joke (we'll assume good will until it is obviously otherwise and assume someone made a mistake, but it may well have been silly vandalism).
About the rewrite. What you can do is create a new article called corn bread/temp, place a message at the top of the corn bread article saying you are working on a rewrite there and would like comments. Also, discussion can be done on the article's talk page, as you've seen.
Does this help? RJFJR 14:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Take a look at 'Atlantic Slave Trade' - I have put the newer slave ship image there, at a particular size. I have looked at the help pages, and see how to add a caption [the 'frame' command], but trying this AND having the size did not work. Maybe a thumb, but I want this image to be big enough to see the slaves but not full siaze.
A two part question. I have been adding images to this article - thanks for the caption information from 'TheKMan' - but I played around with placement of the SisterSlave image, left, but I would like it to be higher. If I moved the instruction up it broke lines in the paragraph. So can an image be placed WITHIN a paragraph.
Second, near the SlaveShip is an image of a slave ad. But there is no image, and if I click on the box, there is no image in the page that 'has' said image. -- Dumarest 20:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I read the mass of literature on Wiki in this area. But still a question. I want to do an article on the cradle, an agricultural implement with no entry here, and have a great image. I have contacted the source, and this is the gist of the reply "Yes, feel free to use the photo of me cradling, with proper credit". What does that mean to my ability to use that image in a Wiki article??
The followong is a link to a report, first hand, on the status of New Orleans just after the hurricane. I have looked at what I can find for articles about the situation in Wiki, but none of them seem to be the place to put this link - no real location for 'what it was like' in the city in the days just following the storm. Perhaps some of you, with time to look at this, and more familiarity with the Katrina articles, could suggest a place. http://www.socialistworker.org/2005-2/556/556_04_RealHeroes.shtml -- Dumarest 13:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Hurricane Katrina. Or try the Help desk for more people to take a look. Good luck.-- Commander Keane 14:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
This is beyond my current knowledge. I have entered an article on Douglas Clark sculptor and it is very incomplete - label may be wrong and it needs disambiguation re Douglas Clark who is a poet. Please 'fix' and tell me what you did or tell me what to do. -- Dumarest 22:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Fine, this confuses me. First, what are the Wiki rules for a reference vs. an external link? See 'Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans' my change listed in the history of April 17, link to reference. In the Katrina stuff, there are MANY external links referred to in the text, not just in this article. What is the rule? And, after I did this change, it seems that older versions of the article also had the reference, not the link that had been the case before. If reference is the rule, I can change all the external links to references in that and other Katrina articles if that is the desire. Now, at the 'Criticism of Government Response...', I added a section. There is a reference there that I put in, and as far as I can see it is correct in format, but it seems not to work. And, as I said in the talk, the image may be illegal and should be removed. -- Dumarest 23:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:FEMAdog.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

I have the desire to add or fix some plant items or stubs. I understand the Topo... whatever it is called, for a species or genera and such, and the sources for valid scientific nomenclature, but is there any site where plant images are free to use?? I have looked at a number of entries in Wiki and in all the sites I have seen the image is someone taking a digital photo. -- Dumarest 18:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
He was a pirate in New England, not much known about him. Now, no Wiki entry. I will put up one such, with what is known - BUT. Long time story in my family, an ancestor of my mother was involved in a raid by Dixie Bull on Pemaquid Maine. Part legend maybe, but a part of what I grew up knowing. Now I know, personal items are NOT part of the Wiki, but can this be used or not - family history which is legend about a legend. -- Dumarest 21:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Here are a couple of links to material on categories: Wikipedia:Category, Wikipedia:Categorization FAQ.
To add a category make a link into category space, e.g. [[category:fundamental]], this will add the category rather than displaying a link. If you do want to link to a category use category:fundamental, the first colon indicates you want a reference to it.
One way to find the categories appropriate to an article is to find a related article that has categories and see which ones it has.
Try to use the smallest sub-category that describes an article.
Someone has changed it so Hibberts now redirects to Hibberts, Maine. This seems to solve the problem. RJFJR 16:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
This one is beyond me to do anything. And it is POV in a sense. If I go to 'List of World Heavyweight Champions' I am on a redirect page to a list of heavyweight champions of one or another wrestling federation. Now, I am not a wrestling fan [maybe the college or high school sport, NOT the stuff on TV]. It is a redirect, not a disambiguation page - and I think it shuld be, so that that term goes somewhere where you get boxing and whatever else, not just one of many wrestling groups. I agree, if the administrators do this, then there may be the same problem on 'world middleweight champions' and 'world lightweight champions' but it is an area that needs editorial work. -- Dumarest 14:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah yes, I could change the redirect to boxing rather than wrestling, to satisfy my sense of the relative importance of the two sports, but that is not what is needed. One needs a page, such as I have seen, that is 'List of World Heavyweight Champions', and on which are noted wtrestling, boxing, and any other things I don't know about. Just changing the redirect page is a good way to start an edit war I think. --

I could read lots of pages, but maybe someone can help - how in an article do I add a link to a subcategory of an article. S[pecificall, to the Linus Pauling article, the 'Molecular Genetics' part. -- Dumarest 20:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Like this User talk:Dumarest#Questions Does that help? Eagle talk 20:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, this is my 'paragraph' and getting that link is not working - something is not all there. Of course, all I want in the text is 'Linus Pauling' but the link should be to the subsection.
"A milestone in that process was the work of Dr. Linus Pauling#Molecular genetics, which for the first time linked a specific genetic mutation to a demonstrated change in an individual protein, the [[hemoglobin] of sickle cell disease." -- Dumarest 14:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Interested in sickle cell? Anyway, when I said that I'd restored the link minus the vandalism I wasn't referring to your edit but to someone else who'd inserted gibberish in the reference. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. -- Dumarest 21:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
The PMID code is an unique PubMed indicator, and is very useful for people who have fulltext access to journals. It is common practice on Wikipedia to include PMID codes even for articles with no abstracts. Please do not remove the PMID again. JFW | T@lk 20:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Take a look at the talk page for Hog Farm. I have a note there, the wholesale deletion of the article for copy violation seems heavy handed, although as I note there the initial paragraph of the deleted part is a direct copy. But what is the process, if any, that I might follow - as noted in my question on that talk page? -- Dumarest 18:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:NewOrleansRequiem.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
The following is from the copyright holder of an image I dearly want to put on the John Kendrew article most of which I have done.
" Dear Dr Cameron
Thank you for your request to use the image of John Kendrew with his 'forest of rods' model of myoglobin, in your Wikipedia article on John Kendrew. As copyright holders we give you permission to use this image, but please acknowledge us as follows: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
Any subsequent use of the image would require further consent from us.
Best wishes Annette "
I need someone more knowledgeable than I to interpret the validity of including the image. Or to tell me how to ask the copyright holder to 'modify' their permission.
And, in this sort of case, does the copyright holder have to deal with Wiki or can I as a secondary person do the upload and information? -- Dumarest 17:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Still too new to understand. I have noted an image that, like one of mine no longer used, uses a magazine cover in a Wiki piece about the subject of the cover, and I understand that this in not fair use. But the procedure of nominating an image for deletion is split in several places, and confuses me greatly. My thoughts are at Image talk:Bridgetmoynahan.jpg if that construction at the left takes you there. -- Dumarest 13:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Obviously, I have never done any of this before - what was the sequence such that my listing for deletion, non fair use, of the Bridget Moynahan image, was gone so fast? I did not even indicate the uploader and such, not understanding how to correctly list, and boom! it was gone! -- Dumarest 18:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
In Image:New York Draft Riots - Project Gutenberg eText 16960.jpg
Below the image, vandalism? I assume the line 'sasha is a loud mouth.sasha is a ho' is such. I can't edit this or anything, but someone must have the authorization to fix. -- Dumarest 14:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
The internal code name CADET already appears in the article. There are three known interpretations of it. -- RTC 20:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
A puzzle. In the article, I see the 3rd line as in a greyish box with dotted line borders, as if it were 1 long line no word wrap, running under the image. In the edit mode I see no indication of what may be causing that. Is what I am seeing my browser's fault, or is something strange about that entry? -- Dumarest 19:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll have to look for the answer to your question about tagging image copyrights. RJFJR 14:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Not really the best place, I probably use 'HELP' to much. Is there editing of talk pages for inserted obscenity? Take a look at the talk for the Integer article - near the end under 'Multiplicative Inverse', someone has added rather very improper language. I guess I could remove it, but editing anothers talk?? -- Dumarest 13:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to ask about such minor entries. Take a look at Trencher (tableware) (fixed, categorey changed -- Dumarest 18:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)) and Trencherman. I edited the first, started the second. For the first, the word is more than a piece of bread, needs retitling or something, as it is also the metal or wooden plate. The second is very minimal, maybe has no need to be in Wiki, but I will go by recommendations. -- Dumarest 16:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
What would you like help with? — Omegatron 20:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Let's start with my first uncertainty. I have uploaded images that are by me [such as the ibeji], and looking at that set of tags, one was for an image that the creator permitted to be uploaded by a Wikipedian. I have used that, but questionably, and I cannot find that tag any more. It seems iffy, in that how can the site know that the agreement for another to upload is real? And what should one [I mean 'I'] do in such cases. The creator may not know Wikipedia, have no interest in it, not agree to personally upload, but it is fine with him/her for the image to be there in a valid license. --Dumarest 15:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
The talk page for theis item seems quite unused, so I try here. Probably a simple thing, but. I replaced the Berlin fossil picture, and another Wikipedian arranged that and the Munich image, so that now there is a column of white space below the Berlin image that pushes the Munich image and text to the left. I do not see what does this, so have not tried to fix it
Hey Dumarest, Moving the image onto a new line causes the list to read 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1-2-3, instead of the intended 1-10 one would expect to see. That's why I reverted the edit, as explained in my edit summary. Happy editing! Firsfron of Ronchester 21:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
The following recently appeared in the Cincinnati Riots article:
It has been suggested that 2001 Cincinnati Riots/temp be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
The temp page is mine, I plan a pretty full rewrite of the main article. I have now saved on my computer all that stuff, and the temp article chould be DELETED. UNDER NO CORCUMSTANCES should it be merged, doing that would essentially revert a number of recent edits unnecessarily. -- Dumarest 15:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I thought it might be me in lonesome solitude, but at least two other Wikis comment. Take a look at the HELP page, item 6.22, posted by me, on 'Images and access'. There has been no response. But then take a look at item 10.1 'Wikipedia is ****ed up real time' [I don't repeat the language of the title exactly], by another, and an agreement with the criticism by still another. What may be happening to at least some of us. -- Dumarest 20:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
While I was fixing the gore page to reflect that it was a general, and not a Vermont-specific, term, I noticed your discussion of Hibberts Gore. Specifically, I noticed you saying you were about "twenty miles" south of there. As the crow flies, that's approximately how far away I am from the Gore as well, so it looks like we're in the same area. If you'd like to get in touch, you can e-mail me through Wikipedia if you enter an e-mail address in your preferences. I can't imagine there are many Wikipedians in Lincoln County!

This image, as well another on that page, are simply better presentations of the images that were already there, so the information requested is on the image page. Do I have to reproduce the data for the original image on the 'better' copy of that same image?? -- Dumarest 19:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't go on - downloads are failing - I will get back to this -- Dumarest 21:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, try to continue. Number one better than number 2. Absolutely, unequivocally, without question - it is clearer, one can see the individual soldiers marching, the tombstones on the right are clear, and it is a complete image not a part. Now to numbers. Number 1 is at a resolution of 150 pixels per inch, number 2 is 72 pixels per inch - on this character, which is the higher resolution? Recognize that I am looking at the images that are in Wikipedia, not the thumbs, and not the original images that are on the indicated site[s]. I have not detailed the other images, but as I remember the data is similar. Now, the image I put up is brighter, less muddy, maybe more 'off' from one way of looking at the original, but that is a matter of taste.-- Dumarest 21:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This is just a copy and paste from the help desk, where it is now almost gone. Sele esplanatory, but I am puzzled.
Refer to Sex and the City current page. In the 'Overview of Characters' section the image is to the right of the first character paragraph, but below it is a large white space forcing the entire second character paragraph to the left. I have, to my satisfaction, confirmed that this is because the image enters into the vertical space of that paragraph, and also I think I am satisfied that a paragraph like the second, with a '*' at the beginning, will not wrap around an image. Confirm, explain, or whatever - the extra white block I would prefer to get rid of. --Dumarest 13:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I think it is something that just happens. When looking at the syntax I don't see any different between other images on other pages. ~~ Vagish T CVPS 16:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
* Make sure you are watching at fullscreen resolution and not in a small window. When you are watching a page in a smaller window, the layout can easily get smashed up. _ Mgm|(talk) 22:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Nope, something is special about that next block, with the start as
* Charlotte York
Note that initial character. A paragraph with that will not wrap. Compare a later image on that page, Region 1 Edition of Complete Set, near the bottom. It goes into the next paragraph, which wraps. Now go to the first image and pull in the sides of the window - when it is narrow enough, so the text takes more lines, at some point the text of the first paragraph extends beyond the bottom of the image, and boom! the extra white space below the image disappears. It is that marker of the paragraphs at this point in the article. --Dumarest 11:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

No talk page on the category page, so ask here. I added to that category the writer Lea Wait, and, unlike all the other writers on that page, she is listed under 'L', her first name, not 'W', last name as is the listing of all the other entries. Why??
Actually I have another useless question. Can this personal page be archived? it is getting very long, so if I could archive and continue with a clean page I would like that. -- Dumarest 19:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Fine, I need an Administrator. I have gone beyond myself. Eagle Island had a disambiguation page, one of which is Eagle Island, Maine. But there are two in Maine. I did a move of the existing item to Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) which was wrong so I double moved, Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) to Eagle Island (Casco Bay) which is the correct identification. I also did a stub for Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) which I will finish later. But the ultimate is a mess that I cannot seem to fix. The Eagle Island of Peary should be Eagle Island (Casco Bay), the other at this time a stub. The disambiguation page has an error in that one of these 'items' seems to be an illegal item. And lastly, there should be a disambiguation of Eagle Island, Maine to the two choices. I have made a world class mess (well, maybe not world class). -- Dumarest 21:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Not sure about this, and the extent of use of presumably copyrighted material on a Wiki page. Check out Wiki page Imam bayildi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0mam_bay%C4%B1ld%C4%B1.

Sourcing. Sullins College is a now gone college in Tennessee, and had a number of important graduates, and an important history. I want to do a Wiki article, but sourcing... how? Following is a reply from the location of the archives of that college - there is no publication or such on the history. And what that material is is personal? What can I do?? " Mr. John W. King has sent me a copy of your e-mail to him asking about a history of Sullins College. I do not know that there is a history of this institution, and we do not have one in the King College archives. I can tell you generally that the college was founded about 1868 in Bristol and named for David Sullins, a Methodist minister...... I am sorry that we do not have anything better to offer you at the present.... It is my understanding that in the fire of 1915 everything was destroyed. Let us know how we might be of any further help to you. Thanks for inquiring.

Fine, and now I have a question. the Talking Drum page, I added a video. No intent to upload, just a link, which I used the 'media link' to format. And now, when I click on it, it says upload description needed? I guess I should have used another link type??
And related, how do I enter a link to another section of an entry, when editing - i.e. one that is in the table of contents? -- Dumarest 18:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[http://example.com/VideoOfAPeach Peach video]
looks like
Peach video. I think a media link is just for media uploaded to Wikipedia.The actual page is 'Tama'.
[[User_talk:Dumarest#Help_has_arrived|Test1]]
looks like
Test1 and links to the section below. I usaully just load the page and click on the section. Then I copy the url from by browser (everything after the /wiki/) and make the link.--

I see the term disambiguation in several places, and when I edit I see links that have a form that seems to link to the 'correct' site with the spelling/form in the article. What is this, and how do I add Wiki links that are correct and complete and valid. -- Dumarest 18:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I am learning. But a question. In the couscous article, the end has the following
* "The March of Couscous" article written by Farid Zadi. Traces how couscous was taken to different countries from its origins in North Africa.en:Couscous
What is that 'en:couscpus'? And if I go to edit that page, after the Categories material, there are a whole batch of these 'en' things. -- Dumarest 14:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[[fr:Couscous]]
at the bottom of the article puts a link to the FRench Wikipedia article Couscous. At
Couscous you can see the links under the toolbox (way below the search bar on the left). Someone accidentally tried to link to ENglish version (which was actually the article itself, so en:Couscous showed up.--

14:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Hi Dumarest - you added this sentence at Common Hazel:
Thanks! - MPF 10:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Your question:
In your greeting to me, you said that I might post to your page if needed. Well. I am playing with the corn bread article, intend to completely rewrite it, and at that time corn pone should disappear. But simply replacing a whole article seems not tha thing to do by just editing out the old and dropping in the new. Can one write an article and ask [you - editors ?] to comment first? And by the way, the latest edit there was minor, someone changed 'skillet bread' to 'skillet brea'. Is there such a term or why might someone have made that change?-- Dumarest 12:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
My reply: When leaving a message for people please leave them on user:talk ont user: (the message we leave for new editors isn't entirely clear about this). For one thing, I get a notice when my user talk page has been changed since I was last there. Therefore, even though I sign messages with user:RJFJR please put messages at user talk:RJFJR. It will improve how soon I notice and reply. I've moved your question to the bottom of my user talk page.
Skillet bread to skillet bread was either a typo or a joke (we'll assume good will until it is obviously otherwise and assume someone made a mistake, but it may well have been silly vandalism).
About the rewrite. What you can do is create a new article called corn bread/temp, place a message at the top of the corn bread article saying you are working on a rewrite there and would like comments. Also, discussion can be done on the article's talk page, as you've seen.
Does this help? RJFJR 14:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Take a look at 'Atlantic Slave Trade' - I have put the newer slave ship image there, at a particular size. I have looked at the help pages, and see how to add a caption [the 'frame' command], but trying this AND having the size did not work. Maybe a thumb, but I want this image to be big enough to see the slaves but not full siaze.
A two part question. I have been adding images to this article - thanks for the caption information from 'TheKMan' - but I played around with placement of the SisterSlave image, left, but I would like it to be higher. If I moved the instruction up it broke lines in the paragraph. So can an image be placed WITHIN a paragraph.
Second, near the SlaveShip is an image of a slave ad. But there is no image, and if I click on the box, there is no image in the page that 'has' said image. -- Dumarest 20:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I read the mass of literature on Wiki in this area. But still a question. I want to do an article on the cradle, an agricultural implement with no entry here, and have a great image. I have contacted the source, and this is the gist of the reply "Yes, feel free to use the photo of me cradling, with proper credit". What does that mean to my ability to use that image in a Wiki article??
The followong is a link to a report, first hand, on the status of New Orleans just after the hurricane. I have looked at what I can find for articles about the situation in Wiki, but none of them seem to be the place to put this link - no real location for 'what it was like' in the city in the days just following the storm. Perhaps some of you, with time to look at this, and more familiarity with the Katrina articles, could suggest a place. http://www.socialistworker.org/2005-2/556/556_04_RealHeroes.shtml -- Dumarest 13:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

This is beyond my current knowledge. I have entered an article on Douglas Clark sculptor and it is very incomplete - label may be wrong and it needs disambiguation re Douglas Clark who is a poet. Please 'fix' and tell me what you did or tell me what to do. -- Dumarest 22:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Fine, this confuses me. First, what are the Wiki rules for a reference vs. an external link? See 'Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans' my change listed in the history of April 17, link to reference. In the Katrina stuff, there are MANY external links referred to in the text, not just in this article. What is the rule? And, after I did this change, it seems that older versions of the article also had the reference, not the link that had been the case before. If reference is the rule, I can change all the external links to references in that and other Katrina articles if that is the desire. Now, at the 'Criticism of Government Response...', I added a section. There is a reference there that I put in, and as far as I can see it is correct in format, but it seems not to work. And, as I said in the talk, the image may be illegal and should be removed. -- Dumarest 23:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I have the desire to add or fix some plant items or stubs. I understand the Topo... whatever it is called, for a species or genera and such, and the sources for valid scientific nomenclature, but is there any site where plant images are free to use?? I have looked at a number of entries in Wiki and in all the sites I have seen the image is someone taking a digital photo. -- Dumarest 18:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
He was a pirate in New England, not much known about him. Now, no Wiki entry. I will put up one such, with what is known - BUT. Long time story in my family, an ancestor of my mother was involved in a raid by Dixie Bull on Pemaquid Maine. Part legend maybe, but a part of what I grew up knowing. Now I know, personal items are NOT part of the Wiki, but can this be used or not - family history which is legend about a legend. -- Dumarest 21:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Here are a couple of links to material on categories: Wikipedia:Category, Wikipedia:Categorization FAQ.
To add a category make a link into category space, e.g. [[category:fundamental]], this will add the category rather than displaying a link. If you do want to link to a category use category:fundamental, the first colon indicates you want a reference to it.
One way to find the categories appropriate to an article is to find a related article that has categories and see which ones it has.
Try to use the smallest sub-category that describes an article.
Someone has changed it so Hibberts now redirects to Hibberts, Maine. This seems to solve the problem. RJFJR 16:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
This one is beyond me to do anything. And it is POV in a sense. If I go to 'List of World Heavyweight Champions' I am on a redirect page to a list of heavyweight champions of one or another wrestling federation. Now, I am not a wrestling fan [maybe the college or high school sport, NOT the stuff on TV]. It is a redirect, not a disambiguation page - and I think it shuld be, so that that term goes somewhere where you get boxing and whatever else, not just one of many wrestling groups. I agree, if the administrators do this, then there may be the same problem on 'world middleweight champions' and 'world lightweight champions' but it is an area that needs editorial work. -- Dumarest 14:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah yes, I could change the redirect to boxing rather than wrestling, to satisfy my sense of the relative importance of the two sports, but that is not what is needed. One needs a page, such as I have seen, that is 'List of World Heavyweight Champions', and on which are noted wtrestling, boxing, and any other things I don't know about. Just changing the redirect page is a good way to start an edit war I think. --

Like this User talk:Dumarest#Questions Does that help? Eagle talk 20:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, this is my 'paragraph' and getting that link is not working - something is not all there. Of course, all I want in the text is 'Linus Pauling' but the link should be to the subsection.
"A milestone in that process was the work of Dr. Linus Pauling#Molecular genetics, which for the first time linked a specific genetic mutation to a demonstrated change in an individual protein, the [[hemoglobin] of sickle cell disease." -- Dumarest 14:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Interested in sickle cell? Anyway, when I said that I'd restored the link minus the vandalism I wasn't referring to your edit but to someone else who'd inserted gibberish in the reference. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. -- Dumarest 21:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at the talk page for Hog Farm. I have a note there, the wholesale deletion of the article for copy violation seems heavy handed, although as I note there the initial paragraph of the deleted part is a direct copy.

The following is from the copyright holder of an image I dearly want to put on the John Kendrew article most of which I have done.
" Dear Dr Cameron
Thank you for your request to use the image of John Kendrew with his 'forest of rods' model of myoglobin, in your Wikipedia article on John Kendrew. As copyright holders we give you permission to use this image, but please acknowledge us as follows: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
Any subsequent use of the image would require further consent from us.
Best wishes Annette "
I need someone more knowledgeable than I to interpret the validity of including the image. Or to tell me how to ask the copyright holder to 'modify' their permission.
And, in this sort of case, does the copyright holder have to deal with Wiki or can I as a secondary person do the upload and information? -- Dumarest 17:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Still too new to understand. I have noted an image that, like one of mine no longer used, uses a magazine cover in a Wiki piece about the subject of the cover, and I understand that this in not fair use. But the procedure of nominating an image for deletion is split in several places, and confuses me greatly. My thoughts are at Image talk:Bridgetmoynahan.jpg if that construction at the left takes you there. -- Dumarest 13:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Obviously, I have never done any of this before - what was the sequence such that my listing for deletion, non fair use, of the Bridget Moynahan image, was gone so fast? I did not even indicate the uploader and such, not understanding how to correctly list, and boom! it was gone! -- Dumarest 18:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
In Image:New York Draft Riots - Project Gutenberg eText 16960.jpg

The internal code name CADET already appears in the article. There are three known interpretations of it. -- RTC 20:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
A puzzle. In the article, I see the 3rd line as in a greyish box with dotted line borders, as if it were 1 long line no word wrap, running under the image. In the edit mode I see no indication of what may be causing that. Is what I am seeing my browser's fault, or is something strange about that entry? -- Dumarest 19:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll have to look for the answer to your question about tagging image copyrights. RJFJR 14:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Not really the best place, I probably use 'HELP' to much. Is there editing of talk pages for inserted obscenity? Take a look at the talk for the Integer article - near the end under 'Multiplicative Inverse', someone has added rather very improper language. I guess I could remove it, but editing anothers talk?? -- Dumarest 13:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to ask about such minor entries. Take a look at Trencher (tableware) (fixed, categorey changed -- Dumarest 18:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)) and Trencherman. I edited the first, started the second. For the first, the word is more than a piece of bread, needs retitling or something, as it is also the metal or wooden plate. The second is very minimal, maybe has no need to be in Wiki, but I will go by recommendations. -- Dumarest 16:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
What would you like help with? — Omegatron 20:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Let's start with my first uncertainty. I have uploaded images that are by me [such as the ibeji], and looking at that set of tags, one was for an image that the creator permitted to be uploaded by a Wikipedian. I have used that, but questionably, and I cannot find that tag any more. It seems iffy, in that how can the site know that the agreement for another to upload is real? And what should one [I mean 'I'] do in such cases. The creator may not know Wikipedia, have no interest in it, not agree to personally upload, but it is fine with him/her for the image to be there in a valid license. --Dumarest 15:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
The talk page for theis item seems quite unused, so I try here. Probably a simple thing, but. I replaced the Berlin fossil picture, and another Wikipedian arranged that and the Munich image, so that now there is a column of white space below the Berlin image that pushes the Munich image and text to the left. I do not see what does this, so have not tried to fix it
Hey Dumarest, Moving the image onto a new line causes the list to read 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1-2-3, instead of the intended 1-10 one would expect to see. That's why I reverted the edit, as explained in my edit summary. Happy editing! Firsfron of Ronchester 21:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
The following recently appeared in the Cincinnati Riots article:
It has been suggested that 2001 Cincinnati Riots/temp be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
The temp page is mine, I plan a pretty full rewrite of the main article. I have now saved on my computer all that stuff, and the temp article chould be DELETED. UNDER NO CORCUMSTANCES should it be merged, doing that would essentially revert a number of recent edits unnecessarily. -- Dumarest 15:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I thought it might be me in lonesome solitude, but at least two other Wikis comment. Take a look at the HELP page, item 6.22, posted by me, on 'Images and access'. There has been no response. But then take a look at item 10.1 'Wikipedia is ****ed up real time' [I don't repeat the language of the title exactly], by another, and an agreement with the criticism by still another. What may be happening to at least some of us. -- Dumarest 20:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
While I was fixing the gore page to reflect that it was a general, and not a Vermont-specific, term, I noticed your discussion of Hibberts Gore. Specifically, I noticed you saying you were about "twenty miles" south of there. As the crow flies, that's approximately how far away I am from the Gore as well, so it looks like we're in the same area.

Well, try to continue. Number one better than number 2. Absolutely, unequivocally, without question - it is clearer, one can see the individual soldiers marching, the tombstones on the right are clear, and it is a complete image not a part. Now to numbers. Number 1 is at a resolution of 150 pixels per inch, number 2 is 72 pixels per inch - on this character, which is the higher resolution? Recognize that I am looking at the images that are in Wikipedia, not the thumbs, and not the original images that are on the indicated site[s]. I have not detailed the other images, but as I remember the data is similar. Now, the image I put up is brighter, less muddy, maybe more 'off' from one way of looking at the original, but that is a matter of taste.-- Dumarest 21:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This is just a copy and paste from the help desk, where it is now almost gone. Sele esplanatory, but I am puzzled.
Refer to Sex and the City current page. In the 'Overview of Characters' section the image is to the right of the first character paragraph, but below it is a large white space forcing the entire second character paragraph to the left. I have, to my satisfaction, confirmed that this is because the image enters into the vertical space of that paragraph, and also I think I am satisfied that a paragraph like the second, with a '*' at the beginning, will not wrap around an image. Confirm, explain, or whatever - the extra white block I would prefer to get rid of. --Dumarest 13:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Nope, something is special about that next block, with the start as
* Charlotte York
Note that initial character. A paragraph with that will not wrap. Compare a later image on that page, Region 1 Edition of Complete Set, near the bottom. It goes into the next paragraph, which wraps. Now go to the first image and pull in the sides of the window - when it is narrow enough, so the text takes more lines, at some point the text of the first paragraph extends beyond the bottom of the image, and boom! the extra white space below the image disappears. It is that marker of the paragraphs at this point in the article. --Dumarest 11:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Fine, I need an Administrator. I have gone beyond myself. Eagle Island had a disambiguation page, one of which is Eagle Island, Maine. But there are two in Maine. I did a move of the existing item to Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) which was wrong so I double moved, Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) to Eagle Island (Casco Bay) which is the correct identification. I also did a stub for Eagle Island (Penobscot Bay) which I will finish later. But the ultimate is a mess that I cannot seem to fix. The Eagle Island of Peary should be Eagle Island (Casco Bay), the other at this time a stub. The disambiguation page has an error in that one of these 'items' seems to be an illegal item. And lastly, there should be a disambiguation of Eagle Island, Maine to the two choices. I have made a world class mess (well, maybe not world class). -- Dumarest 21:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Not sure about this, and the extent of use of presumably copyrighted material on a Wiki page. Check out Wiki page Imam bayildi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0mam_bay%C4%B1ld%C4%B1. In the discussion, a source for the unsourced material is suggested, and if I look at that it looks like an almost complete simple copy-and-paste. How does this go with the Wiki policy on copyrighted material?? -- Dumarest 12:17, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing. Sullins College is a now gone college in Tennessee, and had a number of important graduates, and an important history. I want to do a Wiki article, but sourcing... how? Following is a reply from the location of the archives of that college - there is no publication or such on the history. And what that material is is personal? What can I do?? " Mr. John W. King has sent me a copy of your e-mail to him asking about a history of Sullins College. I do not know that there is a history of this institution, and we do not have one in the King College archives. I can tell you generally that the college was founded about 1868 in Bristol and named for David Sullins, a Methodist minister...... I am sorry that we do not have anything better to offer you at the present.... It is my understanding that in the fire of 1915 everything was destroyed. Let us know how we might be of any further help to you. Thanks for inquiring.
