When looking at the "what links here" list, is there a way to filter out the links which are embedded in templates such as are added at the end of an article, e.g. {{...}}? Hpvpp ( talk) 01:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
How do I add my company into Wikipedia as have Telstra and BHP? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.92.170 ( talk) 04:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I couldn't find this answer in the "external links" reference section, but I could have sworn blogs were frowned upon at Wikipedia. The article is locked, so this blog would need to be removed by someone with more power than I, if deemed inappropriate: [1] ~ this blog is listed as "Contrail Science - the Science and Pseudoscience of contrails and chemtrails blog with extensive information on specific contrail characteristics and chemtrail misinformation. Includes substantial discussion." at the very bottom of Chemtrails. Thanks for your help! 174.74.68.103 ( talk) 05:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

In My preferences, I changed the email address in user profile. When I save, it comes back with "A confirmation e-mail has been sent to the nominated e-mail address." An hour later and still no email. So over the course of an afternoon into the evening, I try it several times, and try variations, like using another email that gets to me. I check my gmail account as well. No joy. To be sure, I send a test email to the address I typed in to the profile, and the test email arrives in seconds. Any idea how I can get the email so it no longer says Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features.?

hi.
i'm having trouble entering articles that start with "...". i know that it helps to delete the dots from the address line, but in the case of "disambiguation" i reach the major page of that name, and sometimes it's not the one i'm looking for.
how do i reach the asked article? in this case it's Sting's album titled "...Nothing Like the Sun": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Nothing_Like_the_Sun when i do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Like_the_Sun i get an article of a biography about shakespeare by the same name.
thank you in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaghup6 ( talk • contribs) 08:31, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
...Nothing Like The Sun
into the Wikipedia search box (which is in the top right of every page if you're using the standard Wikipedia
skin) and click "Go", I get taken directly to the Sting album article. You say "it helps to delete the dots from the address line" - have you tried it without deleting them? Which "address line" do you mean? (It might help if you tell us the browser you're using).
Gonzonoir (
talk) 09:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)i tried it both as a link from sting's discography page and the search box. the search box takes me to the shakespeare biography, and every link to the sting album gives me some sort of "false" anooncement. i'm trying it in my work computer which works through a main server, maybe that's the problem. i'll try it from my home PC as well. the address line I meant is the one where the full "http://" address is specified. everytime i try to reach the sting album article it appears with the dots in the address line, and in the past i managed to reach the page i wanted by deleting the dots so i assumed that's the problem, but in the case of disambiguation there's another problme on the way.

i just want to reach the sting page, i don't mind what it's written like. i don't remember entering it earlier so it's not because it has changed. when i say "false announcement" i don't mean any announecment by wikipedia, but a notice by the explorer browser that there was an error and that i should turn to the server manager. that is why i think it's a problem in connecting it through the server at my work. but as said before, i encountered this problem before and was able to access the wanted article by the deleting the dots preceding the article name in the address line.

Is there any way I can search for articles by date of creation? I'm not talking about recent articles; I am interested in seeing what articles were created on a particular date several months back. RolandR ( talk) 10:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm experiencing a very annoying sort of login problem: Somehow, Firefox has started to forget that I had already logged in for 30 days and has asked me to re-login every time I opened the browser (without me signing out or clearing my Firefox history or anything). I changed the password to rule out someone having a laugh with my account. Now I'm trying to login from a different computer and can only access the page immediately after the login (with my WP layout, links to my preferences and watchlist etc.). However, every time I try to access any other page, they tell me I'm not logged in anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Best, 212.117.123.14 ( talk) 13:13, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

hello,
what is the best and easiest web archive searcher. I need it for tennis articles to source tournaments' sites, not only the same site in the official WTA website. Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
I need a key to the symbology used to present chemical structure diagrams. For example in the article on ribose, there is a set of four diagrams for "D-ribose". Starting at the upper left and going clockwise I label the diagrams as quadrant 1 - 4. In quadrant 1, what is the meaning of the dashed lines? Quadrant 2 is self explanatory. In quadrant 3 and 4, what is the meaning of the tapered bars, the solid bold bars and the intersections. I would normally interpret the intersections as a location for a carbon atom but how do I populate the diagram with hydrogens? Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a key someplace, please just point me to it. Thanks 69.231.216.159 ( talk) 17:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Say I visit [3]. I know it is the wrong place to upload a file, but look at the weird editnotice. Is this a bug? -- Perseus, Son of Zeus 19:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
In My preferences, I changed the email address in user profile. When I save, it comes back with "A confirmation e-mail has been sent to the nominated e-mail address." An hour later and still no email. So over the course of two days now, I try it several times, and try variations, like using another email that gets to me. I check my gmail account as well. No joy. Nothing in the Gmail or personal spam catcher. To be sure, I send a test email to the address I typed in to the profile, and the test email arrives in seconds. Any idea how I can get the email so I can authenticate the email address and get emails? Perhaps someone else could try changing their email to see if this works or not.

Creating a new dummy gmail address does work, but even though I set up forwarding, it does not seem to forward to the ISP address. Is there something in Wikipedia that prohibits forwarding?
