Please, what is the appropriate image size for the photo of Catherine Deneuve in Catherine Deneuve? I reduced the size because I think the image is not especially "high res". Other editors have increased it.

A user ( Mr. PIM) has eliminated link from the Side lobes article to the related section in the German article on antenna radiation pattern ( de:Antennendiagramm#Nebenkeulen). He think that there has to be a direct relation between articles between languages and that one should not link an article to a section of one in another language if there is not a directly corresponding article in this language. I personally think that if a link is possible it should be done and if an article in that language is done later, the link should be changed. Could anyone let Mr. PIM and me what is the rules concerning this matter.

I know that {{ wikisource}} exists for linking to s:, but what if we want to link to it in another language (e.g. s:la:)? I think that would be useful for some articles where the material they are discussing (e.g. Magna Carta) is originally in Latin. The aforementioned article already has a link to the English Wikisource and hence an English translation, but maybe a link to s:la:Magna Carta would also be useful?

At Wikipedia:CHICAGO#XfD_.28AFD.2C_CFD.2C_TFD.2C_IFD.29 in the only two of the five discussions seem to be showing even though the source should show five.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 07:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

. You were actually editing
Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Discussions (I guess by clicking transcluded section edit links at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago). When a
transcluded page has been edited it can take a long time before the places where it's being transcluded are updated automatically. You can force an immediate update by
purging a page like
Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago.

I would like to add the Leesport Lock House to the wikiprojects Wikipedia:WikiProject Pennsylvania and Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Should I just add {{WikiProject Pennsylvania}} and {{WikiProject National Register of Historic Places}} to the talk page of these articles, or is there something else I need to do? Do I, a non-member of these wikiprojects, give the article an importance or a class? Is there anything else that should be happening? Mjf3719 ( talk) 13:36, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
following my question asked beforehand, can i be told about how can i create a framework for the bot, and how can i actually make a bot, sadly, i am totally ignorant of programming languages. Btzkillerv ( talk) 14:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I followed your instructions for listening to audio files - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_help_(Ogg). I downloaded and installed the software. Now my Windows Media Player does not work at all. Prior to installing your software, it worked just fine. What do I do now? I can't listen to any audio files. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.91.41 ( talk) 14:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I am so sorry - I'm sure that there is advice on this but I cannot find it in the FAQs or Reference Desk.
How do I create an article that has the same title as an existing article?
I am trying to create a page for John Illsley's new album BEAUTIFUL YOU. Unfortunately as there is a page with this name it always redirects there. Please help Silencelee ( talk) 15:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
the Tropical cyclone Article has been deleted. please revise it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.229.88.182 ( talk) 16:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Am I permitted to create my own templates that I can post on a talk page, because I'm getting bored of typing it out all the time. If ones already exist, where can I find them? Eg. One saying "Wikipedia is not a forum. Also, please remember to sign your posts." Thanks, Genius101 T. C. 20:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

. If they are subst'ed then it doesn't matter where the original is. Don't create your own non-standardized messages in template space.

21:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)I have a schizophrenic template {{ sea shell topics}}. If you examine it, you will see I recently edited it and added an item. If you click on one of the items, it will take to an article which also has the transcluded template. However the template does not update on those articles, that is, it displays the version prior to my latest edit. Weird. -- Geronimo20 ( talk) 21:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I used to use VandalProof a lot but it is now defunct. I am told WikiMonitor has the same facilities. I have downlaoded it but cannot get it to run. Can anyone here help me please? SpinningSpark 22:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I was able to make some minor edits to the list of Archivists of the United States. However, the lead paragraph could also use a little editing. But there is no "edit" button associated with the lead paragraph and I can't figure out how to do the edits.
Thanks.
