There seems to be a hold on adding new notices to the "Recent Deaths" area. I don't know how to contact the right folks for adding this, but you already have Maryanne Amacher's death listed under her biography listing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryanne_Amacher
Could someone kindly add this info for the 22nd of October?
Thank you,

When i search for "CCAI", the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute article does not come up (even though the article mentioned it is referred to by the acronym). Also, when i search "Congressional Coalition", it comes up as "Congressional Coalition on Adoption", which was the old name of the article. How can i fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scrumo ( talk • contribs) 05:57, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Some time ago, I posted an audio file of this scholar reading the first 100 lines or so of the *Tain Bo Cuailgne*. Will it ever be available for use..., for anyone? Access seems strangely blocked. -Raymond Cormier Rjmcormier ( talk) 13:50, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I removed a link to a paparazzi sex video and most of the article--it seemed pov and cruel to Cicarelli. Was I right to do this under BLP? Someone has reverted my edit. Thanks Rich ( talk) 14:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
She and he didn't consent to the video, and if I remember and understood correctly, in the United States, the philosophy behind the "public person" privacy rulings by the Supreme Court was overriding and obvious public interest, and surely this video has no ovverriding and obvious public interest. It is true that this was filmed outside of the USA, but do we want to support a kind of virtual sexual tourism? Surely an unauthorized sex video taken within the usa wouldn't pass muster on wikipedia, and I think we should have a uniform policy. Rich ( talk) 23:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Please, just one answer, if my main account is block for some period of time, can i edit wikipedia over ip address, in a peaceful and useful manner? Is that forbidden? 89.216.205.134 ( talk) 14:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I am creating a headline in one place, and it is appearing in another. I checked to see if there was anything wrong on the edit page, but there's not. Is it because there are tables on this page? Please help. Mr. Prez ( talk) 16:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Two questions:
1) I searched Wiki before I started my first article submission on Charlie "Tremendous" Jones and could find no reference whatsoever. When I was looking today for some additional reference links, I came across the following on Google:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_%22Tremendous%22_Jones_(speaker)
As you can see, it is a link to an article on Wiki about him. Yet, when I go into the search function on Wiki and type his name, both just simply Charlie Jones and Charlie "tremendous" Jones, Wiki does not pull up any article on this person.
Is this just an article which was created by a user & subsequently deleted from Wiki, or why cannot I find it on the Wiki website? If it is the former, am I safe to attempt to create & resubmit the article?
2) During the same search on Google, this came up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Digby_scallops/Charlie_%22_Tremendous%22_Jones
This is my User Page where I was developing my article prior to submission. Why has this appeared on the internet?
Thank you for your assistance.

Clicking your first link shows it definately exists - Charlie "Tremendous" Jones (speaker) is a redirect to Charlie Jones (speaker), which was created yesterday. Feel free to edit the article, however try and include references to reliable sources, or the article, along with your contributions, may end up being deleted.

I can't find the correct page to do this and is there also a list of reasons to nominate anywhere? The picture doesn't warrant speedy deletion. Off2riorob ( talk) 18:42, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
At home, using the IE browser, I get this annoying "Sponsored Results" sidebar, which takes up about one eighth of the total column width. When I open Wikipedia at work, I don't see this sidebar. Also, if I use Google's Chrome browser, I don't get the sidebar. Any ideas how to get rid of it on IE? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.197.68 ( talk) 18:47, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I have prepared a page on a parenting practice but when I enter the page title, Wikipedia directs it to a broader page on a related topic. Is there a way to override this?
I see that in some other disciplines, there is not a problem with this. Take the topic of Yoga for example. There are separate pages for different types of yoga (Hatha Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, etc.) and they are not forced to appear on the Yoga page.

Thanks, Excirial & AJCham 2. I have not yet created the page on Wikipedia. When I tried to make a start, I ran into this problem and wanted to find out what to do about it. It is not a howto page. I'll visit the article you mentioned. Manyhats ( talk) 21:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I am currently trying to edit the article Not Ready To Make Nice by the Dixie Chick. The info box is all spread out in text and formatting on teh top of the article. I have absolutley no idea how to fix this, could someone please tell me how, so i will know for future reference, and not just fix it. :) MistyPony1994 ( talk) 20:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm fairly sure I remember seeing a script which, given two usernames, tells you which pages they've both edited and the time between their edits to them. Does anyone know where that lives, assuming I didn't dream it? Olaf Davis ( talk) 21:51, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I made extensive changes to a page ( Rock hyrax) and now most of the section edit links are all bunched together in one place like this:
[edit] [edit] [edit] [edit] [edit] [edit]
and not next to their section headings like they should be.
What have I done wrong and how do I fix this? Arikk ( talk) 21:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Scroll back up to #Main page and help me out! Supertouch ( talk) 23:45, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
