hello, i have a problem - i don't know where to start to create a page - i uploaded an image but i can't seem to add a text to it ! i'm lost
68.36.45.130 01:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)In N.J. what governmental agency receives requests for grants and then issues the grant. Are there any internet info where one can find who has received grants and the amounts thereof? 68.36.45.130 01:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
What do I do with images that appear to have false license declarations/tags? In this case, I am concerned about Image:Hot16-mixtape.jpg, in which I doubt whether the user in question actually created the image. Astrovega 02:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that some templates on Wikipedia have this "show/hide" button. Are there tags which can be used to show/hide text in an article? For example, I'd like to include a mathematical derivation in an article, but not have it overwhelm the rest of the content. Advice? -- HappyCamper 02:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Make a table like this:
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" style="width: 100%" ! Title here |- | Text here |}
style="width: 100%" makes it go across the whole page, wikitable makes the table gray colours, collapsible makes it show/hide and collapsed makes it hidden to start with. -- h2g2bob ( talk) 02:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Sure. The syntax is this:
<div class="NavFrame"><div class="NavHead">Derivation of (X)</div> <div class="NavContent"> Insert proof here </div></div>
The result is this:
Insert proof here
The style for NavFrames is:
margin: 0px; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid #aaa; text-align: center; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;
The style for NavHead:
height: 1.6em; font-weight: bold; background-color: #ccf; position:relative;
And for NavContent:
font-size: 100%;
These can be overridden with CSS. If you need help doing that, just indicate how you want to look. Gracenotes T § 03:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
1. I have installed wiki, now I need to add new pages.
2. How to rename Main Page title.
Peacent 02:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
To answer your questions, assuming that you use MediaWiki:
Main Page
to the title you want it to be. By default, the "move" tab is at the top of the page for logged-in users, next to "edit this page", "history", etc. If the Main Page is protected, then you can only do this if you are logged in as an administrator of your wiki.MediaWiki:Mainpage
. It should contain the text Main Page
. Change the text of the page called MediaWiki:Mainpage
to the new title of the main page, and that title will appear in the sidebar. Once again, you can only do this if logged in as an administrator.Hopefully this answers your questions. Gracenotes T § 03:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am trying to adda picture I uploaded on Wikipedia to the Biography. The picture is on Wikipedia as Wayne Hardin and Roger Staubach.jpg but I want the pciture to show up on the biography page of Wayne Hardin.

Hello, First, thank you for taking the time to read this and answer! I posted a question to the reference desk and got two replies. I wanted to see if more replies came, but now I can only see the questions starting on June 9. I posted June 6. Is there an archive? I can't find a way to get there. Thanks!
Hi there. I'm new to wikipedia and want to make a new page about a band "RESISTANTS!" How to do create an entirly new page? Thanks
I added an article in an attempt to explain something from my perspective; the title was not listed nor was it present, yet it was "Speedily-Deleted". Who is to say it is or isn't notable? Wouldn't the action of deleting the article negate the notable importance of the article from certain perspective of others interested?

I wanted to make a suggestion to improve the article on the Budapest Metro, but there doesn't seem to be any button to add a comment on the "Discussion" (Talk:Budapest Metro) tab.
I have now created an account and looked again, but there's still nothing.
I have tried looking through the help, but also: nothing.
Wow, that was a fast reply! - OK, I tend to associate the tabs paradigm as containing pages of different content, not with adding content to the tab I am currently in! The "how to use a talk page" could have made this clearer. I was looking for a button or something. Also, if I click back to the main content tab, the "+" tab disappears, meaning I cannot return to what I am editing!
Yes, as you say, it was exactly this accidental editing of others' comments that worried me. Also, do I add my comment to the top or the bottom?!? Wikipedia really could have tried to be more standard and less fiddly; but I guess others have gotten the hang of it, and so will I.
Thanks for the help! I successfully added my recommendation.
I have read this some where that new pages should not be about self promotion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dean_%26_DeLuca
Brokentuskk, the user that updated the article is a Dean & DeLuca marketing employee. Editor Tingalex reverted the stub, but was completely wrong in his reason for doing so.
We would like it restored to the March 21st edition please.
Actually he was completely right in his action - 1) how does he know that Brokentuskk is an employee? what proof has been presented? 2) it's a copyvio from the site - no permission has been expressly given to wikipedia to reproduce that information and 3) it reads like an advert and is unsuitable anyway. --

how do you cite wikipedia
I want to create an article about a person, but another article about a person with the same name already exists. How do I start creating my article on my person since when I search that name a page on this different person of the same name pops up? If I am able to create my article, how will the two articles be differentiated?
In an article with a very long revision history I want to know who is responsible for a certain paragraph/sentence, or who edited that paragraph/sentence last. In a VCS like svn this is easily possible with the blame command. I didn't find anything useful in meta:Help:Tracking_changes. If I have to wade through hundreds of diffs I go nuts.

Dear Sir/Madam: I made a contribution to Wikipedia but I am not quite sure how to post the article to be visible on the internet. Help me somehow to post the file?

Brokentuskk, the user that updated the article is a Dean & DeLuca marketing employee. Editor Tingalex reverted the stub, but was completely wrong in his reason for doing so.
We would like it restored to the March 21st edition please.
Actually he was completely right in his action - 1) how does he know that Brokentuskk is an employee? what proof has been presented? 2) it's a copyvio from the site - no permission has been expressly given to wikipedia to reproduce that information and 3) it reads like an advert and is unsuitable anyway. --

Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit," but if you have a conflict of interest avoid, or exercise great caution when:

which of the following statement is true?Give reason for your andwer. 1)if R is an Euclidien domain,so is R Χ R. 2)Every abelian group can be turned into a ring. 3)If I is a proper ideal of a ring R with identity then lЄI 4)Characteristic of a field is either zero or infinity. 5)iz is a ring with respect to usual addition and multiplication. 6)If e is the identity of a ring R then it is also the identity of R/I for every ideal I of R 7)If H and K are subgroups of G such that H intersection K is a normal subgroup of G then H is a normal subgroup of G and K is a normal subgroup of G. 8)Every group of order P raised to power n where p is a prime and n Є N is of the form G1×G2×......×Gn where |Gi|=p .........................................................................1)Find the distinct right coset of R in (C +) 2) Use the fundamental theorem of ring homomorphism to prove that Q×Z/Z~Q (~ denote isomorphism) 3)Let I=<m> and J=<n> be ideals in Z Then show that I+J=Z if and only if m and n are coprime. 4)Express the following permutation as the product of disjoint cycles:
(12345678)(456) (82673145)(654) Here lower elements are images of upper elements.
5)If A,B,C are three sets such that A intersection C= B intersection C then B=C is it true or false give reason also 6)Every group of order 4 has 3 elements of order 2 true or false give reason.
how do you cite wikipedia
I want to create an article about a person, but another article about a person with the same name already exists. How do I start creating my article on my person since when I search that name a page on this different person of the same name pops up? If I am able to create my article, how will the two articles be differentiated?
In an article with a very long revision history I want to know who is responsible for a certain paragraph/sentence, or who edited that paragraph/sentence last. In a VCS like svn this is easily possible with the blame command. I didn't find anything useful in meta:Help:Tracking_changes. If I have to wade through hundreds of diffs I go nuts.

Help:Wikitext examples#Just show what I typed. You might also inquire over at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guitarists to see if any of the guitar enthusiasts there have experience with formatting guitar tabulation in

I'm trying to customize my signature and I keep getting the following error: Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags. I've tried copying and pasting the signature code into a page and it works fine, but I don't know why I am getting this error. The code renders the following: Dream out loud ( talk • contribs)
Here is the code I am using:

I stumbled upon Hedonism's wiki pages, so created a page for the exact type of business as that. Mine was immediately deleted, yet Hedonism/Superclubs pages can stay? I'm confused as to why you allow their pages to remain? Did they pay money? Why the variable rules? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.152.11.250 ( talk • contribs)
oh, sorry : Caliente Resorts. There's no difference between the two businesses. I'm confused why mine was immediately deleted??? here is their page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonism_Resorts
I still don't see the difference. How are the pages for Hedonism II (as listed above) not considered blatant advertising as well? They are saying they same thing I was posting.
ah, ok. how can i get another shot at writing it in encyclopedia-speak? can i have access to it again?
(( help me ))Does wikipedia have a setting to view its page in a more friendly version on a Blackberry / PDA device?

how do i create the content link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.53.92.72 ( talk) 00:22, June 13, 2007
The College is named "Revelle College". It was named after Roger Revelle, but the College name does not include his first name. I deleted the "Roger" in the text, but there are three remaing on the page: On the title of the page, on the data box on the right with the logo and names of the Provost and Deans, and at the bottom where the six UCSD Colleges are named. Note the other Colleges all include the persons first name. Only Revelle College does not.
Verification: You can either take my word. I am the Provost of Revelle College or look on the Revelle College Website. There is a link on the Wikipedia "Roger Revelle College" page
Daniel Wulbert Provost, Revelle College

Dear Sirs, some days ago I found the article about the new town Parand in Iran, province Tehran. The coordinates and the given distance were wrong. I corrected them. But the Wikipedia button in Google Earth is still on the wrong position: in the province Kerman, nearly 1000 km from the right position.
