can i understand from this that on which page will i have to go to in order to start a discussion so that my site can be removed from the listing? I would also like advice on how to start discussions and related information like who i will be discussing it with. What should i say etc?
The domain name is LiveAdmins dot com. I posted my request up at
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist
but apparently no one seems to have noticed it. Can i make it more noticeable somehow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.30.87.133 ( talk) 06:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Why is only half this article showing? If you go to edit it, you can see that there's more stuff, but only the first three paragraphs show up in the article page. Thanks for any help, Pince Nez ( talk) 11:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Sometimes I see vandalism and hastily hit the undo button, and then find that the vandal had made several consecutive edits and I've missed the earlier ones. See [2]. I know that non-admins can be given rollback, and I'm sure I've seen a special page where they ask for it, but I can't find the page right now and can't remember what it was called. Help would be appreciated. Thank you. Stratford490 ( talk) 11:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Could somebody please tell me how the change the name of a page?
I have recently discovered in Wikipedia under the category "List of companies of Romania" a page of the company I work for: Novensys Corporation. The information listed there was old, so I made an update of the information. The problem is that the name of the company in the page title is spelt wrong "Novesys" instead of "Novensys".
How can I modify this name?
Thank you.

This is my first attempt at publishing something on Wikipedia so forgive me if this is a simple issue. I've searched the help areas and faq's but can't seem to find the answer. I created the wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TrilientPartners but it doesn't appear when searching for the word "Trilient" unless you use the advanced seach options and click the "User" checkbox. How can I convert this to an article so that it's easily searchable without having to use the advanced search feature. Thanks in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.147.57.6 ( talk) 12:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
The portrait starting this article seems to me oversize. Is there a policy about the size of images in infoboxes, and does this image conform? Perhaps it is just that the portrait is so closeup.

Hi..
I want to make two inline citations to the same source at two different places in an article.
How can I do this without having to repeat the cite template for that source? Can I just have the ref+cite tag at the first citation and then at the repeat, just the ref tag with the same name.. I tried doing this in the naive way but it said something like "cant have ref with no name" even though they both had (the same) name, just the second one didn't have a cite. Zargulon ( talk) 15:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
<ref name="NAME OF REF"></ref>
and later just put <ref name="NAME OF REF" />
. Notice that the second use doesn't have a </ref>
tag. —

HOW CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT A SONG TITLE LISTED IN WIKOPEDIA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.170.142.167 ( talk) 19:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi. The picture caption on the infobox of the Petronas Twin Towers article says "Petronas Twin Towers was the world's tallest building from 1998 to 2004". I wanted to change that to "Petronas Twin Towers were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004" (as they consist of two buildings, not just one), but I am surprised that I can't seem to find that caption anywhere when editing the article. Could someone please help me find out where's the sneaky caption hiding? Thanks. Hús ö nd 19:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia makes things a bit too complicated. All I want to know is why my page was deleted fro my friend LD Sargent (page title). We also sent in a photo. When we checked for the deleted page and its administrator there was nothing. What happened? 21:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Mo

An image was recently added to the Priscilla Taylor article. The caption of the image seems to advert-y to me. Is the advertising on the image page good enough? Am I justified in taking the advertising off the caption since it's already on the image page? I suck at all the copyright red tape that goes with images...
