At IPAB the talk page is mis-named and the page history for IPAB has been lost in a move, it appears. Can someone point me to instructions on how to fix it? Or fix it themselves? Thanks. Jesanj ( talk) 02:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm doing new page patrol and am tagging a BLP article ( Rudy Hubbard). I noticed that wikipedia isn't recognising it as a BLP article, i.e. when you edit it you don't get the BLP warning above the edit box, and I'm guessing IP editors aren't blocked from editing it. How is this enabled? I've added a BLP template to the talk page and also added it to category:Living People, but neither of those work, in fact the category looks like it shouldn't be used that way so I'm guessing I'm doing this the wrong way round. Thinking about it, it doesn't really make sense for this to be done by wiki markup within the article as it would be too easy to circumvent, so is there some admin function I need to request or a board I need to post on?

Using AOL - every time I try to open the page on Adolf Hitler, AOL closes down. Using Windows Explorer - I can open the page, but it does have a hiccup on opening.

what is Action Research in Education? How can we do or conduct in Elementary education and secondary education? What are its pros and cons and how can we solvre or implement properly in the schools?

The entry is very short and factual, and it has been reduced to the bare bones, I think the 'advertisement' tag should be removed. 82.3.199.155 ( talk) 14:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I realize that this this is a very LEFTIST blog, but why do you put Islam first in your article? Islam has only been in existance since the 7th century, yet you list it first, above Judaism and Christianity?
Why is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.145.3.21 ( talk) 16:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

hi. I have read through the posts and links and while there is ALOT of information, I am still unsure about the answer to my question. I work with an up and coming new band. We would like to be included in Wikipedia. Is this what is considered an "article" and do we write it ourselves? thank you, Linaz Martine 17:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC)~

Thank you. I "think" this means that we create the article ourselves. I will look through the links you gave me. Next week. After the Packers win the Superbowl. L18:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.221.206.66 ( talk)
I'm trying to make an info box for my softball team. I'm using the MLB info box and only want a few things to show on the page for the team. However, info that I removed keeps showing up. It appears as shown even after removing info that I do not need:
Collapse info box
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
padding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Cap logo & Team Logo I plan on adding in, but everything else that doesn't have info in it I want to remove. What do I need to do or what other templete do I need to use? Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rfa149 ( talk • contribs)
I dont find a source and cant understand why and how can u uplaod a pic of Hazrat Imaam Hasan on the below mentioned page. That time and even today, no source exists which can actually state that this is the pic of Hazrat Imaam Hasan. So with the kind request please remove the PIC.

OK I have looked everywhere for this answer but to no avail. Here is the question. Why are some words on the wikipedia "coded" or encryped? Most of the words that are coded seem to be like a title to a movie or title to a song. The article is intact, but several key words are coded or encrypted. For instance, if I look up the actor Michael Cain.. I will see that he was in the movie SLUTH. BUT.... wikipedia displays the word "Sluth" as "jckbq" (in italics). Now... I can mouse over that garbage and hold, and a bubble will pop up stating that the translation is SLUTH.. but why, oh why does it do this??? Sorry to bug you guys, but it drives me nuts.. my email is.... JUST KIDDING. I read your warning! lol (although I am not entirely sure that if you answer this, where I can find it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.69.16 ( talk) 23:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
