I have tried to create a page twice for Joseph E Prince. It has been flagged twice! The last time the comment was that we were creating a "non existant" film. Liberation Saturday was premiered at the 2008 nSan Diego Black Film Festival. Photos at liberationsaturday.com and cam be verified at imdb.com, the most widely used data base of fims on the internet.

Hello All, I have the Wikipedia main page as my home page as I like to start my day with 'Today's feature article', 'Did you know...', and 'On this day...' but what I have been noticing is a large quantity of content and articles with Australian subject matter. I do live in Australia, but I'm more interested in a world focus, not just Australian history and news. I was wondering if the Wiki software recognises that I am living in Australia and gives me more Australian content for this reason, and is there a way that I can switch that bais off? Thanks in advance. MST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.24.203.240 ( talk) 03:49, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Nothing out of the ordinary. But there are 20 million Aussies, and a world population of 6 bn+. So seeing Aussie content regularly made me wonder if there was a bias towards giving people more content from their country of origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MST762 ( talk • contribs) 06:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for responses, just a fluke period I guess. MST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.24.203.240 ( talk) 05:27, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
A link to an article is no longer in existence. It is an electronic version of a newspaper. Luckily i have the image on my PC. How do i include this in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lag3rman ( talk • contribs) 05:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
I've already done quite a few edits, and have an account 4 days old. I'm still NOT an autoconfirmed user. I need to upload special pictures for the articles I'm editing since they're under the risk of being deleted. but I can't, since im' not an autoconfirmed user... How can I be one? 492star ( talk) 16:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
A few months ago, I returned from a long block, and I haven't really made that many edits since then. What's a good way to find edits to make? And what's a good way to make a lot of edits? jc iindyysgvxc ( my contributions) 09:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
My Wikipedia no longer displays pictures, I may pressed the wrong button while setting a picture as a background. How do I unblock pictures. Cpilot ( talk) 12:17, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
I am trying to create an article on Brooke Anne Smith, but I do not know what exactly I'm supposed to put in besides Filmography in regards to making the Article and keeping it from being deleted? Namely, what are the contexts that would make the subject identifiable, and what is "enough"? I'm asking because a previous article for her was deleted due to it not having enough context to identify the subject. As for why I am thinking of creating one, I just felt that it didn't seem right that she wouldn't get an article when other actors/actresses have. I mean, I can understand if absolutely nothing about her is known (like Suzetta Minet, for example), but there is a few stuff that is known about her.

Hi to all. I would like to add a short article about PADsynth [1], an synthesis algorithm invented by me. I am aware about "No original research" policy and this is the reason why I ask you here.
Despite of this policy, I believe that are some reasons for the PADsynth Wikipedia article.
Here are the reasons:
Please tell me if a short article about PADsynth is suitable for Wikipedia. Thank you.

Answer regarding the verifiability:
Hi.
Yes. I found at least two independent sources about PADsynth. There are two companies which implements audio software. Please note that I am not affiliated to them. They independently read the PADsynth documentation and implemented into their softsynths (or plugins).
The first one which I found is Image Line (known for fl studio [3]). I found two plugins on their webpage which implements PADsynth. One is Ogun Pad Harmonics [4] (see on the end of the page) and the other is Autogun [5] (see on the end of the page, too).
The other verifiable source is KarmaFX. On KarmaFX version 0.99 they included a PADsynth module. See on the News page [6] and click on the "KarmaFX Synth Modular 0.99 BETA changes." to see the reference.

Does the searchbox support regexp of some sort? If so, what format does it use, and what features does it support?
If not, does it support [*?] with "?" being a wildcard but required character (that * will return null strings according to current Wikipedia instructions, so... not quite what you want if you know some thing requires something there but not what it would be)

How do you create a new heading in an article for example and article on a musician usually has different headings for each album, how do you insert a new heading? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian610 ( talk • contribs) 14:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Dairyland cycle insurance needs to be changed to Dairyland Insurance Company in the title and the URL.
There is a link on Sentry Insurance's page that I can change once this gets corrected.
Can someone help me with this??

I'm working on the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture article and ran into a problem. The Table of Contents is acting weird. Up to section 5.2 Livestock, it works fine, but then starting with section 5.3 Hunting all through the rest of the article's sections, the hyperlink doesn't work. It appears to be fine in the TOC display box - as if there was nothing wrong with the sections - but when you click on the section in the TOC box to go down to that part of the article, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what is going on here? Thanks for the help. Saukkomies 18:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

PrimeHunter - thanks for that very useful information about the anti-bunching fix! I applied it to the images you mentioned, but since I wasn't myself seeing the problem with the bunched up [edit] commands, I can't tell whether it made any difference or not. Hopefully, though, for those who were seeing that, it is now fixed. However, I still can't get the Table of Contents to work for me. sigh... -- Saukkomies talk 02:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

What's a "Dereks1x/Archtransit situation"? ~~ Dr Dec ( Talk) ~~ 20:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
We would appreciate prompt attention to this matter. There are two false statements on your site:

I can provide you information if you need us to. My contact information is Jennifer Wilson, Controller. My phone number is <blanked>. My email address is <blanked>
Thank you for your prompt attention.

Could not find this in the style guide after a somewhat quick look.....
Example... (referring to a person's parent) "his father is John Smith". If John Smith is deceased, does it become "his father was John Smith"? Isn't John Smith always his father, dead or alive? Yunchie ( talk) 21:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
I've always found the whole deletion thing to be rather, well, nontransparent - from the point of view of a user. When, on occasions I look for an article only to discover there used to be one, but it's been deleted, there is no obvious way to find out why, in any detail, it's been deleted.
Presumably there would have been a deletion discussion somewhere, but it's not linked from the deletion message, at least in the small number of pages I've encountered. How does one locate the deletion discussion? Why is there no way to view the previous contents of a deleted page, like there is with normal modifications?
The particular article I encountered recently was Soman_(band). I have no vested interest in this article - I was attempting to consult it for reference, not to edit it. But the deletion reason - WP:MUSIC - is not, prima facie, satisfied according to my reading. More out of curiosity than because I care deeply: how do I find out if this was discussed, and where do I read the discussion?
(FWIW, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the article was little more than a stub, but stubs aren't a bad thing (are they)? Google tells me that they've had two albums on Metropolis, which is certainly an important independent label.)
(Subsidiary question: is this the right place to ask this?)
TIA
