There was an actual movie named DRAGNET starring Jack Webb made in 1954 or 1955. In the filmography for Jack Webb the movie is listed, but when clicked on, what is written is about the television series, not the movie.
The movie begins with three men driving out into the countryside (I can't remember the actual location). One of the men carries a double barrelled shotgun and shoots one of the other men. He then re-loads and shoots the dead man again. From there on I don't remember much of the movie other than Joe Friday and his partner spend the rest of the movie solving the mystery.
I have watched for the movie to be shown on TV for years. Even though it may have been shown, I have never seen it.
I hope some of this information will help other readers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwalbin ( talk • contribs) 02:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Considering that over 95% of the world's trees have been depleted by fires , agriculture, lumber industries, fungi, and population growth, I am looking for articles addressing the depletion of the world's trees as contributing to global warming, floods, erosion and storm intensities. I am also asking if there are articles that address the need for reforestation and and replanting trees in strategic areas to reduce wind and water erosion and water runoff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.158.219.249 ( talk) 04:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
There is a perticular page of which I visit often (EFFC) and I noticed a few days ago that the football strips for this team were wrong. I tried to edit them myself and was doing pretty well until something went horribly wrong. I've spent days trying to fix it and Ive come so far that they are presentable but have the wrong colours, patterns etc. How do I fix them? Or is there a useful site to help me understand how to use the editor? Or will someone be kind enough as to do it for me?
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.248.209 ( talk) 08:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I was editing a page and previewing it and saving it a couple of times. Then suddenly the Contents Box disappeared. I don't know how, I don't know why, it was just suddenly gone. I have no idea what I did. Do any of you guys know how to get it back or fix it? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Princessprobelmatic ( talk • contribs) 12:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

what if i uploaded the wrong picture by mistake and i want to remove it. The picture i uploaded was kind of personal, and i want to remove it. How?-- Dlo2012 ( talk) 14:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
well, the thing is that i had uploaded it to uncyclopedia.org, and they don't have a very good help desk there, so i come here for advice.-- Dlo2012 ( talk) 03:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Please change the sub heading of this article which lists MBS as a trojan. This is incorrect. The software never downloaded itself. Please see the links for Michael Pollitt's articles of the OFT's press release. Although AV companies may have inaccurately labelled the software as a virus, they had to amend this because it was factual incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platte International ( talk • contribs) 15:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Good day. I forgot to log in before editing, and 3(?) changes are recorded in the relevant Histories against my IP address 89.168.255.186. I cannot find out how to change IP addresses to my user name, or who to ask. Please help. And add a page or redirection in WP for this as there are many other queries about this.

Is there any other software (possibly portable) that's similar to VF that doesn't use IRC as the source? (Ideally in-browser, but that's not a necessity since VF was also really good as an external program.) Or else... VF doesn't have an option to use a proxy, does it? (Still, no idea whether IRC as a source will be allowed here, but I noticed that browne.wikimedia.org etc. or even freenode aren't blocked, so I might be able to connect...) -- Menti sock 16:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Ragarding naming conventions as per WP:NAME,
Does prevalence of a name have higher priority than the official correct version of the name?
Example: Arkansas's state assembly has officially stated that "arkensaw" is the correct pronunciation, and specifically that the pronounciation "ar-kanzas" is incorrect. Now if someone made an article for Arkansas in some foreign wiki langauage, and literally named the article with the spelling that would give the pronunciation arkanzas (instead of the correct spelling that would give the pronunciation Arkensaw), citing prevalence as their reason, wouldnt they be incorrect? Does not being correct over-ride the prevalence criterion for naming convention?
Any takers?-- 129.111.69.67 ( talk) 20:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Sometimes when I input a keyword into the search and click the Go button I get a popup that says wikipedia is trying to download a file to my computer. Is this a virus or computer worm? I always cancel this attemp but then I am back to main page and don't see the page I was looking for. Other times, when typing in the same keyword, I just go right to the wiki-page and get no attempt to download. Why is this? Thanks, 155.104.37.18 ( talk) 20:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
It hapend to me to. I have some soltion but it is not good, Naimly, rite in the adress text box " http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=ARTICAL_NAME " (replase "ARTICAL_NAME" by the name of the articale that you looking for, you can find it by clicking the Search button insted of Go). Then you will get the artical you wonted then clik "edit this page" and then save. this will fix the problm.
you can also use " http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=ARTICAL_NAME&action=edit" Aizenr ( talk) 22:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I'm not exactly sure this is the right place to be asking but... a for a couple of weeks now everything in Wikipedia appears slightly larger than it did previously. I occaisionally open a page and the text is momentarily smaller (like it used to be) before suddenly enlarging. This isn't really a problem - if anything it's an improvement as I can read everything more clearly but it does strike me as a bit odd. I'm using Windows Vista (Ultimate) with the most recent version (I think) of Firefox, no other webpages seem to be affected (or I might just have not noticed as few other sites are as text based and I probably spend more time on Wikipedia than anywhere else) and I haven't adjusted any resolution settings on my laptop screen. Like I said it's not really a problem but any enlightenment on this issue would be appreciated. Guest9999 ( talk)
