Hi I created an article 2 months ago and noticed that I need to change the spelling of the title of my article, please advise how to do. Thanks Sherif —Preceding unsigned comment added by Selsisi ( talk • contribs) 00:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. In the past few minutes, when I try to edit the reference desk, I get an HTTP 500 error. This applies to editing sections, and when I try to refresh a section, but the whole page shows up fine. What's going on? Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 01:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
I just created an article, but for some reason the surname starts with a lower case letter. How do I chance that to an upper case letter? I've read something about "moving" articles to change titles, but I can't find a move button. Besides, all I really want to do is change a lower case letter to an upper case letter.-- James W. Turner ( talk) 02:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I am writing an article on how Roman catholicism started in a remote village called Urutur in kadapa diocese of A.P, India. I am in the process of getting more details and updating this. Request you not to delete this page as there may be less references now. Hope you understand my concern. This page will be usefull for many people in knowing the roots and tradition of this village.
Thanks Vijay —Preceding unsigned comment added by C9VReddy ( talk • contribs) 08:43, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
I am not bothered if Urutur catholics is deleted. You are not providing enough time to get the references and to link it. I just dont understand why it is recommended for speedy deletion. I can show you many articles in wiki which dont have proper refrences and which are not better than 'urutur catholics' article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.15.16.20 ( talk) 06:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Wiki editors:
I love your site, and link to it all the time.
But today I learned from one of my readers that my blog now appears on a blacklist of banned Wiki sites. The reader discovered this after trying, unsuccessfully, to link to me.
My site is Gannett Blog, a widely read daily about the Gannett Co. Inc., which owns USA Today and myriad other U.S. and U.K. media businesses. I publish it for the benefit of Gannett's employees and other small shareholders.
The address is www.gannettblog.blogspot.com

the alminac lists the moon's last quarter as being this comming saturday, 9/25/'10, while observation is that this morning, 9/21/'10, the moon was still a day or two from being full. a comercial calendar lists the full moon as being on thursday, 9/23/'10. my question is if the moon's phases are not correct while being so easily checked what else can i reasonably believe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.15.54 ( talk) 10:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

kAIC is a property of circuit breakers and is a rating. It refers to maximum short circuit current. Can some electrical engineer out there add a definition to Wikipedia?
Hi, I tried to make a few corrections to the entry on Kalapas (just generally agreed on information; it should get more work), but in the preview I'm getting citation errors although I have included the <ref> & <ref/> and added the {{Reflist}}; also it seems that the end of the article is cut off. I've just published it now so that anybody could look at the page to see what I did wrong. Grateful for any advise, PStrand—Preceding unsigned comment added by PflasterStrand ( talk • contribs)
What's up with the grayed-out, italicized, lined-through date/time info for older edits of this noticeboard? I've never seen that before, and no diffs are possible for these edits, which I also find odd. And there is no explanation at Help:Diff or at Help:Page history about this. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:57, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
I know that we use the {{ IPsock}} template to tag an IP user page, but what do we use to tag the suspected sock puppeteer's page? — Fly by Night ( talk) 17:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
On the page of the band "Of Tanz Victims" there is a link to their webpage. After following that link and not clicking on anything on the band's website my computer started acting very badly. The CPU went to the roof and stayed there forever thus the computer became extremely difficult to use. I run AVG anti-virus. I did a complete scan of the computer after a hard kill of the machine and it did not find anything but it took several reboots before the machine was able to run properly again. Wondering if it's just a coincidence but there may be something bad on that web page. Rene Seguin 17:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reneseguin ( talk • contribs)

Hi, I was looking at Postcards from a Young Man and was surprised it didn't have any reviews, looking in the history it seems the reviews were deleted (which seems odd) and the edit summary was this. I don't really work in this area so it's not clear to me what that instruction is suppose to mean. Any ideas from anyway or how the (sourced) content that was in the review section can be saved. -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 20:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Dear editors of Wikipedia,
I am writing to request you make an effort to correct the actions and ignorance of copyrights that two moderators of Wikipedia recently committed and the consequences of such actions were the disastrous discontinuation of a product widely used by many programmers: BOUML ( http://bouml.free.fr/)
The discussion was started when the author of BoUML asked to remove a logo that was on wikipedia for not being the product and because such logo was not licence-free.
The moderators Dereckson and Bapti ignored the author's rights to determine which logos were representative of their own product and dismissed the request of the author, even in a mocking way, being directly responsible for the discontinuation of the product.
BOUML has over 500,000 users and more accounting academic's people. It was one of the few free software development tools that generates PHP code in the world!!! Now the proyect is closed based on the attitude of Dereckson and Bapti. We need that Wikipedia reevaluate this action, please.
Thank you very much and I expect a prompt response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burraburiash ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi there,
I am attempting to update my company's logo on wikipedia but am not sure how to do so. I have internal permission to replace the current logo on the wikipedia page as it is the old logo. Not sure how to go about this, my attempts to upload it have failed. Thanks. This is the page in question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagogo and if someone who can actually make it happen wants to do it the link to the logo is here: http://edge0.viagogo.net/images/assets/logo/gogo_logo.gif?v=1005
