On the Presidential portrait page I downloaded and added a lot of high resolution Presidential portraits for various U.S. Presidents. I got all of those high resolution portraits from this site-- http://www.whitehouseresearch.org/assetbank-whha/action/viewHome. Is it legal for me to download high resolution Presidential portraits from this site and put them on Wikipedia? For the record, some other people did the same thing before I did it, so I'm assuming that it is legal. However, I just want to make sure. Thank you. Futurist110 ( talk) 05:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

So you're saying that all these high definition portraits should be deleted? Isn't there a rule in Wikipedia about being able to use non-free images if there are no equivalent quality images anywhere online? Futurist110 ( talk) 06:09, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I think those image uses need to be carefully reviewed. For example, I took a quick look at File:Bclinton.jpeg. Was Simmie Knox really an officer or employee of the US government when he made that image? For example, if he was not employed by the US government but instead was only ordered by them to make that portrait, then I think it would not be in the public domain. -- Toshio Yamaguchi ( tlk− ctb) 09:09, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Sir we are facing problem for getting information in Gujarati langauge. Students from Gujarat state (country-India) wants to learn cross culture information/ history etc through the media of Google /wikipeadia frequently. School teachers are also encouraging students for using google/wikipedia for getting various information. For example : I am facing problem for searching "Berlin wall history" in Gujarati langauge. In langauge option Gujarati is not available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.88.142.34 ( talk) 08:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I want to create a page about a band - back in 2010 a page was created by someone else and deleted due to "No explanation of the subject's significance".
Fortunately, the band is still around and there is a much stronger case for their significance, and hence a renewed need for a wiki page for them (I'll make the case in the new article).
I can't see from the page itself ( MilkDrive) how to recreate it. I don't need access to the deleted pages - I'm going to create all new content - and I'll stay away from advertising and copyright infringing. Can someone give me the steps to recreate a deleted page?
Thanks. ZoneAlarm5 ( talk) 10:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I tried to get answer previously but since my post was bad i didnt a answer.
What procedures are left if you get to formal mediation and can not get a consensus?
Because i am about to put request for comment live soon regarding 2 articles but there is about 100 users involved in the dispute and about 30-40 heavily involved.
Depending on the outcome there is about 40-50 articles that might be affected by the decision and because one side of the argument will be under happy that will be 40-50 articles on full protection indefinitely which is pretty bad.
so that why i am wondering if there is anything past formal mediation like possible arbcom or similar?-- Andrewcrawford ( talk - contrib) 11:17, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear Friends__ My sandbox version of a Wiki page I have written seems to appear in Google searches for the subject of the page. Since the sandbox page was preliminary and contains errors, I am eager for it not to be public and not to show up in Google searches. Is there some way for me to make my sandbox more private? Many thanks, __Steve Greco

If I put a page on my 'watchlist', how do I get back to it? Someone left me a message/reply on a question I asked yesterday and now when i go to my 'watchlist' tab, I can't find it. Kind of frustrated with the navigation of wikipedia but not complaining too much because it could just be me but I feel that things could be more simple in reference to accessing and viewing stuff that you had involvement with on the site. Syntax is overbearing in my opinion but I will work on getting better — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hitm6337 ( talk • contribs) 14:38, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
The url
http://finance.mapsofworld.com/merger-acquisition/company/videocon-daewoo.html
triggers the spam filter when I try to save a page with it? Why is that link on the blacklist? Should I file a request to get it removed from the blacklist? Wikipedia:Spam blacklist#Requests for delisting says I "should give compelling evidence as to why it should be delisted". Is the fact that I want to cite the url compelling evidence that it should be delisted? -- Toshio Yamaguchi ( tlk− ctb) 14:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

The box at the top of the page was added in May 2010. The article has been rewritten hopefully in a more neutral tone in June 2012.

An article like In der Falle is appropriate as a standalone article because .... How does this sentence end? See the two AfDs linked at the top of Talk:In der Falle. Does WP:BKCRIT#5 really justify an article like that? Some explanation would be appreciated, although I am sure I won't get it this time as well. -- Toshio Yamaguchi ( tlk− ctb) 17:39, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Template:Anchor suggests using the tag within section titles to protect against broken section links. I've used this a few times at least, to insulate section redirects against section title changes. However I noticed that when editing a section with an anchor in the title, the edit summary's section appears with the entire anchor in the middle of it. This is clearly a bad thing, and it leaves me wondering whether the advice at {{ anchor}} should be altered. I see three possible ways to use {{ anchor}} in this manner:
But they each have their own problems. Before the section title, the anchor is technically a part of a previous section, which means edits relating to it will have misleading summaries, and editors editing the previous section will not have the context for why the anchor is there. As above, in the section title, edit summaries get FUBAR'd. Placing an anchor after the section title causes the section title to appear slightly off-screen when a user is linked to it. So what is the right way to handle this? BigNate37 (T) 20:37, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Recently my computer had started doing things out the ordinary. Playing random videos and audio, taking longer to load, and showing rather dirty content. I had microsoft security essentials acting as my antivirus but when I tried to run a scan it was completely disabled! like the trojan just wiped it out. I downloaded free AVG which didn't have a problem detecting the trojan but couldn't take care of it. I got free MBAM and it didn't do as well as AVG so I got Emsisoft. Ran the scan and it supposedly fixed it but when I restarted my computer I had more. I have done this a number of times over the past day and a half. Emsisoft has successfully eliminated one trojan but now my problem is HUGE! more Trojans and "backdoor" viruses have now presented themselves! it seems as if everytime I try to fix this problem it gets worse. I am a student I can't afford to lose my computer. can someone please help me? I created this specifically for this. THANKS SO MUCH — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccing2 ( talk • contribs) 22:42, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
