Isn't it time to update the federal budget page? The current budget in the works is 2012 and your site still uses 2009 data, very outdated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.162.22 ( talk) 05:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi all, I noticed that the singlechart template Template:Singlechart is doing weird things. See the examples in Template:Singlechart/doc. There is a whole bunch of text appearing about "On the Floor". I have no idea how to fix this. - Akamad ( talk) 11:06, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
(Moved down) I have read through the various Wikipedia articles related to inserting external links to videos into articles and still find myself confused. I am wishing to add several video highlights to the 2011 Atlanta Braves season article under the Notable occurrences section. The links (one is still present on the article right now as "Watch") go to the official MLB.com highlight of specific memorable plays during this season. Is there an issue with this type of external linking (does it violate copyright rules, etc.)? Thank you in advance. Bbqsauce13 ( talk) 03:24, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I wonder how to make Wikipedia appear with a fixed width. For us with widescreen monitors the text lines become too wide to read smooth. I found this script which is exactly what I need, but it's old and doesn't seem to work with the current version of Wikipedia. Help would be greatly appreciated! / Caelus sv ( talk) 16:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if anyone wants to work on Human energy. Someone, however, wants to delete it. I'm not sure why someone would want to delete an article, since writing them is what this site says it does. Yet there are notices for people who want to delete articles.-- Rhbsihvi ( talk) 17:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

When I look at the pages for municipalities, there is an indicator at the upper right with the geographic coordinates. These are almost always the coordinates of the administrative seat, but I noticed one exception among the Swedish municipalities, namely Gotland_Municipality. Its seat is Visby, but the coordinates displayed are not those of the Visby page, but something which seems to be the central point of the island. I would try to edit this, but it seems to be calculated automatically by a template or infobox - I don't know the correct terminology. How does this come about? 78.69.124.133 ( talk) 20:44, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Dear Team,
I am a very frequent reader of Wikipedia and always request the people to read and get informed thoroughly and freely from Wikipedia site. Currently, I have found a problem in the articles translations, as I am very good in some languages, and I have found that the information written in English is not equivalent as translated in Arabic language. and the information written in English is perfect information but I cannot understand why its not translated in Arabic as same!

When ever I undo a user changes with Wikipedia:Twinkle it puts the page on my watchlist. Can I do something to make this not happen? jorgenev ( talk) 22:48, 9 April 2011
if( typeof( TwinkleConfig ) == 'undefined' ) TwinkleConfig = {}; // DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE - ALL TWINKLE SETTINGS AFTER THIS TwinkleConfig.watchRevertedPages= [];
TwinkleConfig.watchSpeedyPages = []; TwinkleConfig.watchWarnings = false; TwinkleConfig.watchProdPages = false;
Is there an easy way to find out how many times an article has been deleted/PROD-ed/sent to AfD and so forth? doomgaze (talk) 22:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
