I would like to know how can I obtain permission or consent from Wikipedia to copy and reproduce the File: Trinidad-Anglican-Episcopal-Coat-of-Arms.svg that is shown in the Wikipedia, on the free encyclopedia page. I would like to know if I can do this or what are the steps to obtain the consent from your office in order for me to reproduce it in my book.

We need some admin assistance on a controversy with User:Zzspeed. They keep reverting the redirect of " Cassandra Hall Rawlins" (a non-notable soap opera character). The page has been redirected numerous times per WP:NOTABILITY, but the user doesn't seem to care. Any help is appreciated. Shark96z ( talk · contribs) 01:39, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Khan This sounds offensive and abusive.

Hello,
When I edit an article I wrote (that is not published yet), and I click preview or save changes, it does not show all the text I wrote. Is there a word limit that I am unaware of? It's not very long, so I don't know why it would cut out a couple small paragraphs. Is it just a glitch? It keeps the majority of the text, but the bottom three small paragraphs, including the references, are cut out. Please let me know if there is something I need to do or something that I'm doing wrong.
This is the page I need help with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Jacques_Heim_(choreographer)
Thank you,

I don't know whether it is a right page to post or not. I just wanted to give some feedback having used the site for years and more recently as an editor. I believe, most editors are not willing to write in the GA Review process. May be, the Wikipedia is lacking tools and techniques. I believe, this amazing site must make use of some kind of chat facility where editors are able to collaborate, not just by writing to each other, but face to face. It saves time of the editors to complete the review process, resolve conflicts. Many editors (sometimes including me) are not willing to collaborate just because it takes time and effort to pen down in an article or a talk or a review page. Having experienced it recently in a GA review page, I could say this with a bit more certainty, that many editors at the end feel frustrated of having going through the pain of writing an article at first place. Right now, even I am feeling the same and the very reason of writing this post. I have been at both the supply end and at the receiving ends at different instants of time. Also, the look and feel of the Wikipedia should change for better. There needs to be a mechanism where consistency between the articles is maintained for good. I wish all of you the very best in life. Regards. Vaibhavgupta1989 ( talk) 16:59, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
I had to laugh when I looked at the Wiki page for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. All the way through the page about him, it said that he owned Carlisle Football Club when in fact it is Chelsea that he owns. Your administrators were quick enough to delete the article I wrote about the cfcuk Chelsea Fanzine for not having any 'notable' sources yet they have allowed the Abramovich article to go unedited with what are major factual inaccuracies. I hope that some administrators who are not biased against the Chelsea Football Club or the cfcuk Chelsea Fanzine can now reconsider including my article that was written about the fanzine.

As well as being referenced on the official Chelsea website – as pointed out in earlier responses to yourselves, it has also has numerous mentions in the press – both in the UK and abroad – the most recent being in the Daily Telegraph by renowned football journalist Henry Winter http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9276305/Champions-League-final-2012-Chelsea-put-their-faith-in-Didier-Drogba-and-Roberto-Di-Matteo.html (18 May, 2012) who confirmed what I had written in the piece about the management and staff at Chelsea FC reading the cfcuk fanzine. As well as retaining the feeling that there is a bias against the fanzine because of tribalism, I wonder how, for example, Wikipedia can include a page about the Fulham fanzine ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOOFIF) and not Chelsea’s.

I’m not ‘bitter’ about the inclusion of the Fulham fanzine and I would never try to get anyone else’s insertion deleted as that would, I feel at least, be petty. However, the original article I submitted was edited to take out the ‘offending’ use of the term ‘notable’ and, as well as being fully informative and 100% accurate, can you explain what, in your opinion, I would need to do to the article I posted to ‘improve’ it. Thank you Blueblagger 11:54, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I am having difficulty editing my piece, "Fabrizio Divari". My main issue is correcting my improperly added "ref tag". I have cited the verified sources to which my article is built from, but cannot place them under a numbered reference list. Rather, the reference list is numbered with the embedded phrase evidence that is directly from the source, which I am attempting to properly cite. How do I fix this error of invalid ref tags? I do not know where to place them.
I am incredibly confused by all of the tutorials and cannot figure out how to solve "invalid ref tags."
Also, WikiTalk that I have attempted to publish my article under the title of "MP: Publishing". I do not recall doing this after sending my article for review. How do I reverse this error?
Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlaMazz ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

There's a problem with my global account. When I log in here, it lists all the other Wikimedia sites that I have also subsequently been logged into with my global account, Commons included. However, Commons doesn't have me logged in. In fact, my username over there doesn't exist, even though it should have been created when my global account was created. And i'm also not logged in at Commons, even while i'm logged in everywhere else. What exactly is going on here and how do I fix it? Silver seren C 21:53, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

What do I do if a BLP contains marital information that keeps getting removed without regard for sourced content. My beleif is that there is a high probability of a recent divorce that is not documented in the public record. Examples of BLPs in this situation are David Baker (poker player, born 1972) and Christian Cook.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 23:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
