Why were the David Friede and Fr/action articles removed? I can't find anything about them when I was able to previously.
hiya all,
i want to know how i can find out the size ofa article when all things like cite web cite news, wikitable code, wiki code etc is took out of a page, just now i am working on a page and it exceeding the wp:size i think that the right one for being over 100kb, but i know about 1/3 of that is data that used for reference and other things so i like to know what the size of the apge is when it is barebones data that is displayed on the screen when not editing-- Andrewcrawford ( talk - contrib) 12:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
javascript:importScript('User:Dr pda/prosesize.js'); getDocumentSize();

Hi, I found in this article about a game :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoridor#External_links
this link towards a software version of the game :
i'm quite sure this software conveys a virus (a prompt that would not disappear, asking you to pay a 100 euros fine for supposely having visited some porn web sites) the prompt appeared couple of minutes after the installation
i deleted the reference in the article anything else to do on your side ?

Recently, I was trying to accesses parts of the WikiProject Physics 1.0 assessment listings, this, for example. I get the following message: "Forbidden (403) You are not allowed to view this page. If you think you are receiving this page in error, or you have a question, please contact the owner of this document: enwp10 [at] toolserver [dot] org.". I've been able to visit the pages in the past. Any help? Buggie111 ( talk) 15:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
when editing a article how can you find where teh hcard informaiton is that getting used on the page?-- Andrewcrawford ( talk - contrib) 17:07, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I am a bot account now how do I use it ? GyttonBot ( talk) 17:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I blocked the account for personal attacks and because of the user name. It doesn't appear they are here to be productive. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 19:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Per WP:IFN, image titles that have no meaning should be changed. That said, I stumbled upon File:DSC 9467 crop.JPG, and requested the title to be renamed to "Canoe_Cauius.jpg", based on the image summary. I did not notice that I misspelled "Caius". A few minutes later, the image uploader reverted my rename request, labeling me edit as vandalism. That brings up my first question; is it appropriate to remove someone else's rename request in general? Anyways, I reverted his edit, saying it was not vandalism, but he reverted it back, saying "suggesting cauius-canoe is vandalism. please stop." He then posted on my talk page, saying "please take the silly undergrad games somewhere else. And learn how to spell." I replied, telling him to calm down and assume good faith (which were my intentions), and informed him that I have a BA in psychiatry. He replied by saying "If you can't tell an eight from a canoe and if you can't spell "Caius", find a different picture to comment on" -- That constitutes WP:OWN, and he was getting very rude with me. I wrote back, explaining my reasoning behind the request. The basic point, is that I made a good-faith rename request, with a silly typo, that William could have easily fixed/changed. Instead, he decided to be extremely rude to me, and continued to remove my rename request. Is this something worth taking to AN/I? TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 19:12, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I am trying to create a flag template for a rugby union team that includes its flag/logo and its name similat to the template
Wales.
I am trying to use the same effect but with the British and Irish Lions logo/flag with their name next to it. Some thing like {{ru|Lions}}.
Could someone explaine how to do this, or create the template for me.
British and Irish Lions flag/logo is on this address. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_Lions_Rugby.svg
If you do create it for me, could you also do it for the Barbarians flag/logo.
Barbarians flag/logo is on this addresss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Barbarians.png
Perhaps this image will be ok.

Hi. I looked around for this answer but couldn't find an answer, so here I am. Is there any reason that a URL that is on the blocked list doesn't trigger a notice on preview? I tend to preview my articles on creation and would love it if the notice that a particular URL is disallowed popped up on the first preview after insertion rather than only when you save the changes. It seems to me it would be easier for article creators to find a new source at that point, rather than after article is ready to be submitted. Thanks! StarM 22:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Seems to be a crapshoot if you get the behavior PrimeHunter mentioned above - I use FF 13 on Mac running SnowLeopard and I don't always get my text back. I'm used to that issue, however, and make a habit of Command A, Command C before pressing save in case I get a loss of session data or any other hinky issue. On a related note, time to go find why the site that hit me yesterday is blacklisted. It's not an obvious one IMO StarM 03:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
