To list items in top left of category, I noticed sometimes a “*” after a category such as in “Category:Museums in the United States|*Curators” & sometime a space is used such as in “Category:Museums in the United States| Defunct”. When should a “*” be used as compared to just a space when listing categories? Thanks! FieldMarine ( talk) 00:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that i saw the ADD definition and part of it is wrong. It is not a genetic disease and also you can get ADD without being exposed to anything toxic or bad for you and also you can get it without damaging your head by falling or something. I have ADD and i am up set because i didn't get it by any of the reasons that were listed. I just got it, nothing happened to me, i never was exposed to anything, i never have/ had fallen on my head or damaged it, and neither of my parents have it. I would like for you to change that because it will not let me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.122.215 ( talk) 02:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

On template:Infobox Water park, how do I change the template so that if “location3” is filled out on the template, the information displays on a second line when the article is viewed. See Adventure River for example with “United States” showing on two lines. I think it does not look good that way. Thanks! FieldMarine ( talk) 04:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
location3 = [[United States]]

I uploaded Image:Bernhardt Skull.JPG, which is just a crop, into landscape, of Image:Sarah-Bernhardt (Hamlet).jpg, which is a commons image.
However, I've got a problem with the licence. The commons image is licenced death of creator+70 years, whereas that's not an option at special:upload on wikipedia (which has an option for death of creator+100). Looking at the DoD I'd say this difference is actually an issue. I've put a licence on there pro tem so that I can bring the question here to the help desk, but how should this be dealt with? Should I upload to commons not to wikipedia? Or is there an appropriate licence I'm missing? AndyJones ( talk) 08:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Completely unrelated to my preceding question, I see from my watchlist that a bot is trying to delete Image:Richardthird.jpg. However the book in question was clearly printed 1597 and is therefore in the public domain, and the image shouldn't have been given a fair use licence in the first place. I've no idea how to dispute this &/or to fix this myself. Can someone oblige &/or tell me what I should do? AndyJones ( talk) 08:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Is there a chance if i could create a seperate vandalism unit, simular to the counter-vandalism unit but totally different which performs strict rules, and follow's the rules of the wikimedia foundation, i've noticed a few user's are creating their own departments for the wikipedia project but i was wondering if anyone had objection's.

Hi There, Firstly CONGRATULATIONS on such a fabulous facility. The reason I'm writing is to advise you of another popular SRI LANKAN BURGHER. I was browsing your Sri Lankan Burgher page and discovered other popular colleagues.
His name is Kerrigan La-Brooy - he's a singer/songwriter/entertainer/actor etc etc....his webpage is www.kerriganlabrooy.com
His email is <removed email>
I was wondering, indeed hoping, his name could be included on your Sri Lankan Burgher name list."
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm not sure what I did, but en.wikipedia looks very strange. There are no tabs at the top of the page. It's like the css isn't being applied at all! Other websites look fine in my browser (Firefox 2), and even other parts of wikipedia look fine, like fr.wikipedia. When I view source and compare en.wikipedia's header to fr.wikipedia's header, they look the same.
Did I somehow change a setting? How do I fix it?

Is Christian Solidarity Worldwide [2] a reliable source as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources? Can I use this source for reference? Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 18:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I still have a question. As per Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Extremist sources, extrimist sources are not allowed as reference in article. But I don't think that Christian Solidarity Worldwide is an extrimist source. According to Wikipedia:Reliable source examples#Use of electronic or online sources, "Websites and publications of political parties, religious groups, anti-religious groups, or any other partisan group, may exhibit bias and should be treated with caution. Neither political affiliation nor religious belief stated in these sources are in themselves a reason not to use them, as these websites can be used to present the viewpoints of these groups, if properly attributed" and "Widely acknowledged extremist organizations or individuals, whether of a political, religious, racist, or other character, should be used only as primary sources". I want to use this for the article Religious violence in India. I don't understand that can Christian Solidarity Worldwide be labelled as partisan source or not?

My lecturer at College (Syd Moore) has asked me to help her create her own Wikipedia page.
She used to have her own program on Channel 4 and worked for a big publishing company, she has a brother in a band and they have a wikipedia page, she is linked from there but of course has no page for it to be linked to.
I was just wondering how this could be done as she has told me that her friends have tried to do it, but it just gets deleted a few days later and isnt a proper page.
She is interested in having a wikipedia page as she has just recently been part of a magazine, which she helps to run, and wishes for all of her achievements, facts etc. to be on this page for people to access and view.
Thank you in advance,

How do I add a picture to an article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.242.18.237 ( talk) 21:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[[Image:File name.jpg|right|Optional caption.]]
to the article – replacing File name.jpg
with the actual file name of the image, right
with the alignment of the image on the page and Optional caption
with the caption, which of course, is optional. See our
picture tutorial for more information.It's fair that registered users who are registered under blocked shared IP addresses cannot do things that only registered users can do, such as create pages, move pages, upload images, and edit semi-protected pages. If the user cannot edit anonymously, it's fair that if they can edit under an account, they cannot do "accountive" purposes. 58.168.213.239 ( talk) 07:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I like this site and the way information is presented.
Would it be possible to put a "Top" hyperlink at the end of each section so a user can go back to the Table of Contents easily?
Thanks
74.92.140.6 ( talk) 22:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC).
thanks - the back button is fine to use - i'll have a look around the "pump" (is it supposed to be like a village well?)
74.92.140.6 ( talk) 22:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC).
the problem about calling the place where you make suggestions the pump (meaning it in the sense of the watercooler) is that (in my experience) people tend to use the pump to make anything but constructive criticisms... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.140.6 ( talk) 23:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Why does the Zinc entry not have a Applications section like the other two entries in the subject line above?
While I appreciate entries depend on individual contributors - and their preferences, a consistent framework is good too
74.92.140.6 ( talk) 22:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC).
use, use, use...
thanks
how can one contact the contributors (I assume they are more expert than I in the field they choose to contribute to) and ask about gaps in articles users see - while letting them choose whether or not to plug those gaps?
for example, I go to the zinc page, I see a problem and I want to raise the issue without fixing it because I am not the expert - but also, the way you edit pages is not really straightforward - you have to click on discussion, then edit this page, then find the bottom of the previous criticisms (constructive or otherwise) and then make your comment - so you really need to want to make a comment - it should be much more straightforward. Also, a page might have ten contributors - who takes responsibility for responding to any one comment? (as you have done above Pat?)
Thanks for your help

I am about to leave wikipedia for this nonsense. You are able to reach me at <e-mail removed> —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koenig1010 ( talk • contribs) 21:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
How do I add a picture to an article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.242.18.237 ( talk) 21:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[[Image:File name.jpg|right|Optional caption.]]
to the article – replacing File name.jpg
with the actual file name of the image, right
with the alignment of the image on the page and Optional caption
with the caption, which of course, is optional. See our
picture tutorial for more information.It's fair that registered users who are registered under blocked shared IP addresses cannot do things that only registered users can do, such as create pages, move pages, upload images, and edit semi-protected pages. If the user cannot edit anonymously, it's fair that if they can edit under an account, they cannot do "accountive" purposes. 58.168.213.239 ( talk) 07:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I like this site and the way information is presented.
Would it be possible to put a "Top" hyperlink at the end of each section so a user can go back to the Table of Contents easily?
Thanks

thanks - the back button is fine to use - i'll have a look around the "pump" (is it supposed to be like a village well?)

the problem about calling the place where you make suggestions the pump (meaning it in the sense of the watercooler) is that (in my experience) people tend to use the pump to make anything but constructive criticisms... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.140.6 ( talk) 23:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Why does the Zinc entry not have a Applications section like the other two entries in the subject line above?
While I appreciate entries depend on individual contributors - and their preferences, a consistent framework is good too

use, use, use...
thanks
how can one contact the contributors (I assume they are more expert than I in the field they choose to contribute to) and ask about gaps in articles users see - while letting them choose whether or not to plug those gaps?
for example, I go to the zinc page, I see a problem and I want to raise the issue without fixing it because I am not the expert - but also, the way you edit pages is not really straightforward - you have to click on discussion, then edit this page, then find the bottom of the previous criticisms (constructive or otherwise) and then make your comment - so you really need to want to make a comment - it should be much more straightforward. Also, a page might have ten contributors - who takes responsibility for responding to any one comment? (as you have done above Pat?)
Thanks for your help
