I work for a business/school that would like to start using social media (facebook) and I noticed that our school name page is already created and it appears to be from you.
I am not sure who created this and I didn't know if I needed to create a brand new account or since yours was already established and already has some fans if we could just use yours. Not sure what we need to do.
I can go in more dept with the name of the school and how to contact me if that would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.17.28 ( talk) 01:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I started an AfD ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joey Curtis (2nd nomination)) and am now convinced that the subject is notable. So far there's only been 1 comment--a Keep. Can this AfD be removed? Thanks. Papaursa ( talk) 02:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I am pressed for time.

The median income is reported as $8 million... and the average income for men is similarly out of whack.
You may want to fix it--it is the hometown of Iowa's Governor!

I would like to add South Africa to the History section in the Contents box on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_Third_Age. Obviously there would then be supporting text in the body of the document. How do I do this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.177.27.232 ( talk) 07:44, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

There is an article in German (Wallhausen (bei Bad Kreuznach)) that I would like to read. When I attempt to read it in English, the article disappears. How can I see the full text of the article in English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfreisem ( talk • contribs) 09:58, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I was on the page of Keith_Haring and aparantly there is something wrong with the infobox. Unfortunately I have no experience with them, so I don't know how to fix it. :-s Help?-- Dianafl ( talk) 13:54, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Mrsa site (methacillin resistant stapholoccus) has copious information. I don't know how to search this (or I guess any) site for a particular word (in this case the word "bath). I expected my question to be an FAQ but I was wrong. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.253.214.66 ( talk) 14:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I uploaded a significant amount of new content to the English Araldite page last week, including following formatting rules and referencing. I also edited the French version. The French and English are exactly the same but the English appears to have reverted back to its old version. Can I please have some advice on what I am doing wrong as I followed all the rules. If possible, can I get a Wikipedia administrator to upload my text? Allaboutglue ( talk) 14:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I use wikipedea as the Encyclopedia Britannica of the Internet. I have sent a donation and want you to know that what you do does matter and is deeply appreciated. Thank you. No response is needed. Do let all know that we, the public, are very appreciative of your work and ethics.

Hello! I'm a little confused about why my article was declined for being non-notable. After reading the Guidelines on Notability, it seems like there is no reason for my topic (Diva Communications) to be declared non-notable.
There are many articles about similar NYC documentary filmmakers/companies in the same category with far fewer citations and references (e.g. Kino International, CinemaGuild). Diva has been around since 1985 and has made 14 films. Also, there is a Wikipedia page on one of their films (Yearning to Belong) that I link to. How can a page about a film have been deemed acceptable, but a page about the company who made that film not be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajassistant ( talk • contribs) 16:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I've been asked (away from Keyboard) whether organized wikilinking your own organization is COI. This person is an advisor to an honor society and would like to go through all of the colleges and universities that *already list* the honor society and link it to the *existing* page for the honor society. Do they need to try to link all of the other listed honor societies in order for it to be acceptable? (My thought is no, but I'd like other opinions) Naraht ( talk) 16:56, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
What is the URL I use to post a draft article. I can find plenty of instructions about rules and regulations, but I don't see the link I should use to actually post something. THANKS 18:02, 14 February 2012 (UTC) General1234 ( talk) General1234

As reflected in more than one article name under it, "Category:Latter Day Saint movement in Texas" should be "Category:Latter-day Saint movement in Texas", for the simplest correction.
Arguably, "Category:Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Texas" would be even better, and what I would bet church members would prefer. (I'm a Catholic living in Utah.) The latter change would mean removing the YFZ Ranch article, to which the heading would then clearly not apply. To my mind, "movement" is a truly strange word in this heading, and adds unnecessary ambiguity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeTSLC ( talk • contribs) 19:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
An IP editor is adding infoboxes to dozens of old computer games - as can be seen here - but none of them are sourced. Don't get me wrong - this is all good faith stuff, but shouldn't it be sourced, and is it even appropriate that some of the infobox additions are on non-ZX specific pages - such as the addition made to Elite.

Could I get someone to switch the article above with the redirect page Joseph Fischhof. It looks like Fischhof may be the preferred spelling. Thanks. Pkeets ( talk) 20:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I am attempting to give a good, thorough copy edit to Zhejiang. However, the article has inconsistent national varieties. The earliest versions of the article have American spellings and no British spellings. Some of these original American spellings survive. Later, British spellings begin to appear. It isn't clear to me at what point in its history the article ceased to be a stub. How do I establish a consistent style for this article? Thanks. Marco polo ( talk) 20:57, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi... Do you currently have Dari (Farsi) or Pashto translations of Wikipedia underway? I would like to get some of my Afghan friends involved with this project, if possible.

How do I move an essay or maybe the question should be How do I retitle an essay. My guess would be to creat the new page and the copy-paste the essay. Right? ``` Buster Seven Talk 23:00, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
