I recently added an article to the AfD page, and I followed all the directions, but it still won't look like all the other nominations. It is the article for D. Welser Carroll. Can someone help me figure out what's wrong? Banpei 06:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I need a title for my article which is on menstraution and pain.
Hello, On a web forum we play a game of 'link the photo'. This consists of, as the title implies, linking one photo to another by title,content or general relation. i.e. From Sylvester Stallone to Sylvester the cat to Tweetie Pie and so on. The question, therefore, is as we copy pics from Wikipedia a lot, are we breaking copyright?
can i download the encyclopedia?
what are the advantages & disadvantages of organizing a sporting event ?

Hi I've got a watchlist to notify me of updates to pages that I'm interested in. The watchlist works fine, but it only shows me changes to the whole page. If there's a change to just one section of the page, it doesn't show up. I don't want to put a watch on every section of every page that I'm interested in. But I do want a change to any section to be listed on my list of changes watchlist. How do I do that? Thanks Peter peterl 09:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Your efforts will be appreciated.

Hey there, I'm trying to create a map like the one on the NATO page. I was wondering what type of program is used to create this, and how I could get a hold of it. Thank you in advance!
Hi, what should I do about a user who is following all my past edits, and image uploads and challenging them? ≈ Maurauth ( nemesis) 13:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
An article has been repeatedly moved (generally for good reasons) over the past few days. " Civil unions in Oregon" became " Domestic Partnerships in Oregon" which then became " Domestic Partnership in Oregon". Unfortunately, it should really be " Domestic partnerships in Oregon" (small "p" in "partnership"); however, the page with the small "p" title already exists ... as a redirect to the current capital "P" page. What's the best way to move the existing page to the small "p" page without causing further chaos? -- Jfruh ( talk) 14:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[Domestic partnership in Oregon]]
{{
db-move|name of page to move from}}
on the redirect, and an admin will sort it out for you. Hope that helps! --

I lost the password to my account, but I did enter an email to that acount. Could I retrieve it that way? 69.157.0.239 16:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I lost my old account a month ago because of a similar issue, and unfortunately hadn't entered an email for it. At least I learned this time. Thanks again. 69.157.0.239 16:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, it worked. The Clawed One 16:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I have a question about copyrights / Wikipedia, but the "other way around".
I'm not sure where to look, please point me somewhere.
When and how do the copyrights of wikipedia articles expire and transfer to the public domain, as copyrighted works should at some point.
Here is a scenario:
Knowledgable person A logs in to wikipedia and offers useful information in an article B.
No-one else changes article B. Article B is just fine the way it is, and lots of people read it.
Years later, person A dies.
Now one would expect the copyright of person A which they hold on article B to expire at some point. How can that point be established. It might be very hard to track down the identity of person A.
I can't remember my password for the life of me. You see, I changed my password I don't know how long ago, but I've stayed signed in and thus never used it. Now I can't remember it. This is ironic, because I was just about to change my password to something more secure, and activate e-mail notification for forgotten passwords. The good news is that I am still logged in. Is there anything I can do (as apparently changing the password and activating e-mail notification require my current password)? Am I doomed? -- Luigi Maniac 18:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello! Is there an easy way to get a list of pages I've created (excluding redirects, but including categories + templates)? Thanks! Lugnuts 18:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I am requesting help. I incorrectly spelled a title: Gyroscope (automoblie). Trying to fix my problem, I copied the content to the correctly spelled, Gyroscope (automobile). I need help deleting the first. I think I should have done a MOVE on the original mistake, correct.-- Drussel3 19:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone explain to me how relevance % is calculated on Wikipedia? e.g., when i search for Social Laws i get different articles that have different relevancy ratings. Can someone advise. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amaranand ( talk • contribs) 19:30, May 29, 2007
I believe I have seen a template along the lines of "A photo would improve this article". Could you direct me to it, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hogyn Lleol ( talk • contribs) 19:42, May 29, 2007
I am trying to create an article and I submit the images and text and it just dissappears into never-never land. I have gone through all of the help and how to pages, I followed the protocol, what am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to create an article desribing the works of an contemporary artist named Kevin Christman can you help?
Seems like this is an issue that would come up frequently, but I can't find anything about it in any of the FAQs or related help pages: What's the proper protocol when you find an image that has been accidentally overwritten by somebody else? The specific example I have in mind is Image:100_1541.jpg, which used to be a picture of the Fillmore Gold Line station in Pasadena, CA, but has been overwritten, I presume accidentally due to the digital-camera filename, with an image of downtown Miami. (The image is only linked to by articles about the Gold Line.)
