Which language does RUP stand for in Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.74.11.25 ( talk) 00:01, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Re the replies to Wikipedia abbreviations on 24 Feb, I came across the abbreviation on the page Category:Romanian derivations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.74.11.25 ( talk) 02:06, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Is there a strictly alphebetical list of codes for Wikipedia languages and also a strictly alphabetical list of Wikipedia languages with codes?
I know this must be a frequent, and silly question, but I've just written my third article and this one isn't being reviewed or posted into the main wikipedia. Am trying to be patient but am increasingly worried that I did something wrong. Please let me know. Title: Charles Robert Sanger. I had mis identified the photo 2 on uploads, but then corrected it -- because the photographer is my great grand mother, and CRS is my great grand father, and she was an avid photographer, a copy was inherited by my family. Is the photo the issue? Have I not entered properly? Other pages: Eleanor Sanger, and Robert Riger. Rpriger ( talk) 01:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC).
Many hours ago I reverted vandalism, and sought to post a warning on the vandal's user page, using Twinkle, but the screen just freezes. A box opens which says "Warn/notify user," with nothing in it. It stays there indefinitely. I checked and this is still the case. Finally, I copied a vandalism warning template from WP:WARN and posted it. What gives? Edison ( talk) 05:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi! On the Indonesian Wikipedia, a user wants to center a group of three columns of infoboxes - currently, in the sub-display they veer to the right: id:Pengguna:Wagino_20100516 (fixed)
What code changes need to be made to make the userbox columns centered?

My page "MigreLief" was nominated for a speedy deletion and I was off line for a couple of weeks and never caught it in time to stop it. I lost all of the info and reference links I researched and created so I am just now getting motivated to create again from scratch to submit for approval. Will I be able to recover my page name or does the redirect get to keep the name. MigreLief is a well known Migraine Prevention Supplement containing many ingredients. My "MigreLief" page was redirected to one of the ingredients "Feverfew". Again, can I work on a subpage called "MigreLief" and then move it live when I feel it will past muster? If I can, can you tell me how to get the name back? Thank you for your assistance in advance. Silsal ( talk) 06:46, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I am a photographer and I want to upload one of my own copyrighted images to an article I'm editing. It's telling me I have to wait 4 days before I can do this. Is there no way to hurry this process?

Hi, all. Does anyone remember the template one can use to tag, for example, the AfD !votes of accounts that may have been created only to !vote in that AfD, and thus might be a sock account? Its intended use is that it should be appended after such a !vote to alert the closing admin to the fact. I recall that it produces a <small> point-size comment that says something like, "This account has made few or no contributions outside of this context". Any suggestions much appreciated.

Can you please clarify why we can not add a external link to an related article on wikipedia. I have tried to provide an external link to the page Aghori. Since we are from the Headquaters of the Aghor (Shiva Sect) will it be not be feasible to highlight the exact definition along with the realated details of the sect. I have been recieving msg's from your end not to add on links to the pages. Would be thankfull if provided help on the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.203.225.81 ( talk) 10:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi
I have found an invalid link on the page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing
Under "External Links" at the bottom of the page the last web link is not working, i.e. "Automated software testing metrics including manual testing metrics"
Unfortunately I do not know what the correct link should be?

Sorry don't know where to ask this question.
I am a
Wikignome that uses the Search Index to find mis-spellings, but the Index has not been updated for several days (about 5?). When will this next be done? Currently, words that I corrected over 3 days ago still appear in the search, and when it is updated, there will be a large backlog.
Whilst asking, is there a way to arrange search results in order?
Some mis-spellings are "correct" being redirects, quotes, deliberate, or part of File or URL names e.g. "rythm" which currently has 56 "correct" mis-spellings. When a search returns 57, finding the extra one is labourious. If they could be ordered according to date of last revision, the new entry would be at or near the end.
I realise this is hopeful - but where should I ask?

In your list of World Masonic Grand Lodges, in the Asia list, there is no mention of the Grand Lodge of Armenia. However, when your search box is used for "Grand Lodge of Armenia" we get a blurb with some relevant information. The word "Armenia" though is missing in the list of Grand Lodges for Asia.

I had a look in my preferences and found I was also logged in to the Spanish Wikipedia. I have never edited there and my corresponding user page and user talk page do not exist. I have only ever created an account here on the English Wikipedia. Could my access to the Spanish Wikipedia be taken away so I am only registered here?

I am presuming my university's Facebook Wikipedia page and the original Wikipedia article it is based on are linked. In the past, any changes to the Wikipedia article (such as the logo) have been reflected automatically on the university's Facebook Wikipedia page.
However, the original Wikipedia article has the logo (as the university crest) and it has been like that for some time, but the Facebook Wikipedia page has suddenly gone blank - the logo has disappeared. I don't believe this is the result of a delay in updating as it has been like this for several days now.
Does anyone know why this has happened and the logo has disappeared from Facebook, even though it has been visible in the Wikipedia article?
Here is the university's Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster_University
Here is the Facebook version: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lancaster-University/108262075861948#!/pages/Lancaster-University/108262075861948?sk=wiki

Hello
Network Planning and design (text under dimensioning)
How do we go about having our company name added to the existing list of companies in the article below that provide networking planning software of this kind? This appears to be a general article and I'm not sure if its appropriate to apply to be an editor and add your own company name to articles such as these?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_planning_and_design
Dimensioning
Because of the complexity of network dimensioning, this is typically done using specialized software tools. Whereas researchers typically develop custom software to study a particular problem, network operators typically make use of commercial network planning software (e.g. OPNET Technologies, SevOne, WANDL, VPISystems, Cariden, Aria Networks). However, there is one notable open source network planning software available by the name of TOTEM named after TOolbox for Traffic Engineering Methods.
our company website is www.harmonic.co.nz 202.20.0.48 ( talk) 22:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
