I edited the wiki on Dunwoody High School, adding a logo. The logo is NOT appearing on the Wikipedia-based page on Facebook. How do I make it so that the logo shows up on the Facebook page as well? Claudiabenson ( talk) 04:53, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I made a new infobox template for TransLink railway stations in South East Queensland, and I want to add a little TransLink logo to the top left of the title bar that shows the name of the station, but so far all I can get it to do is either stick directly to the left side of the text or have a weird gap below the image and the title. How can I fix this? The page is Template:Infobox_TransLink_railway_station Thanks, Traveller QLD ( talk | contribs) 06:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Frederick Tibbenham ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Hello, My well-researched article on Frederick Tibbenham has either been removed, or is about to be. The remover says there are no sources. I can't think why such a statement has been made. All sources are checkable, and from reliable sources, such as the British War Museum's photographic collection - available on line, and the UK census, and the Daily Mail's archives. A search of 'Frederick Tibbenham' will bring up all quoted sources, but the removalist says he can only find one source of anything related to FT on the NY Times site. All the references are also contained within my Facebook page entitled 'Friends of Oakhurst' https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/friendsofoakhurst/ . Can you intervene? I have asked for the deleter's help to cite, rather than delete, as I know the entry to be correct and accurate. Thank you, Pandora Melly Pandoramelly ( talk) 08:19, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the feedback - I've made some changes and added more references, could you let me know if the page is looking better now? Thanks RichMoon RichMoon ( talk) 16:05, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I am the editor of film review website flickfeast.co.uk. We have been referenced a few times on wikipedia and we have just published a great Top Ten Pedro Almodovar article which I was adding as an external link on the wikipedia film pages of the titles we have included.
I hit a warning that you might consider such action as spamming. Can you please confirm if that is the case as I do not mean to spam you!
I had intended to also add external links to some of our best reviews to individual film pages. But I won't if you consider that spamming.

13:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)A couple of times today I've had to manually fix a bunch of double redirects after a page move - and after closing this AfD the other day I found myself having to manually delete about 25-30 redundant redirects. I know there's a bot for fixing double redirects, but do we have a tool that allows bulk deletion/redirection of such pages? There's possibly one in the admin toolkit, but if so, I haven't found it yet. Much obliged for any suggestions. Yunshui 雲 水 12:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
About two weeks ago I created a new Wikipedia entry called "Library Assessment". When I search for it in Google it appears on the third page of results. All the other Wikipedia entries that I have searched for appear on the first page as the first or second result. Can you pls. explain/fix this? Thanks. Lynne.porat ( talk) 14:54, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Example: Kansas Men's Basketball page found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%9311_Kansas_Jayhawks_men%27s_basketball_team#Roster
1. The roster section of all such Wikipedia pages contains a LEGEND box that apparently is centrally managed, as it does not show up in the edit box when I am updating roster information.
2. The LEGEND Box currently contains:
(C) TEAM CAPTAIN
(S) SUSPENDED
(I) INELIGIBLE
a Red Cross icon for INJURED
a Red Shirt icon for CURRENT REDSHIRT.
These are ways I have found in exploring various pages --
A. (C), (S) or (I) (soon to include (W)? :) can be inserted after the Player's Last Name (3 single quote marks)(x)(3 single quote marks) where x is the relevant code.
B. CURRENT REDSHIRT coded cur_rs=yes

The copyright bot detected that there is a page with the same text for Mieczysław Detyniecki in english contribution. What happened is that i translated the text from the spanish version, it turns out that somebody automatic translated the same content and published in her page. It is possible to notice that it is a (1) copy and (2) automatic translation by reading the second paragraph. The automatic translation does not make sense. Moreover, the notes numbers were copied - but not the notes content!
The following talk addresses this issue: User_talk:Polish_art_student.
Has Wikipedia any 'tool' to tell if there is an increase in controversial changes when editors in the northern hemisphere have their daily routines disrupted by vacations (plural, because its not just one's own but all our children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces etc., all competing for one's attention whilst they’re on vocation). It might be that these incidences remains constant though-out the months (but I doubt it). Yet equally, it could be, that since the number of editors to oppose these changes (7 days) dwindle in number during these times - they take advantage - or could it be their ad hoc timing just happens to work in their favour. Some editors, whose life style appear to enables them to live online 24/7 and without of all these distractions, seem to have the advantage here; for pushing through controversial changes that would not survive at other times. I'm curious, because it seems to work both ways. Over the years I've seen some good changes made when the cohort of uniform editors, guided only by popular opinion (that they’ve picked up from the popular press), have had the rug pulled from under them by editors that have well informed professional insight of the subject. Some statistical data would help to find a better way to diffuse the apparent POV pushing and Wikipedia:Wikilawyering by the back-door. P.S.
