Where do I go to fill out an OTRS ticket? When a picture I submitted was taken down, I was directed to the OTRS wiki page, but I could not find the actual PLACE to CLICK to submit an OTRS ticket, only info about it and a list of all the various sites and languages. If I am using English wk, and want to fill out an OTRS ticket, where exactly do I go? First down comets ( talk)

I just noticed that Template:Infobox_musical_artist has a category of associated articles with deprecated parameters that currently numbers nearly 4,000. The parameters that need fixed are "Born =" (replaced by Template:Birth date and age for the living and Template:Birth date for deceased) and "Died =" (replaced by Template:Death date and age. I have begun plugging away at them but I am slowed by my obsession with actually reading the articles and making whatever improvements I can.

Hello and I wish you a happy
Brion Vibber Day. On this auspicious day of Wikipedia, I have got some questions to ask about the copyright status of structures of chemical compounds. According to the template {{
PD-chem}}, a chemical structure cannot be copyrighted. It reads as follows,
This image of a simple
structural formula is ineligible for
copyright and therefore in the
public domain, because it consists entirely of individual words, simple geometric shapes and information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
I have the following doubts,
Don't confuse the licensing of the software used to the create the images and the copyright status of the images that it creates. It is perfectly possible for someone to use "educational use" only software to generate output that can be released into the public domain. Similarly I could create a literary work in MS Word and release it into the public domain or license it under any terms that I see fit.-- ukexpat ( talk) 13:11, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
All,
Could I have assistance and guidance on the following two points as I wish to contribute to Wikipedia:
1)Could someone advise me on how to create a company wiki page.
2)As a datacenter and I.T. specialist of 20 years I would like to also offer my expertise in reviewing and advising on computing content.
Many thanks and kind regards,

I'm having trouble seeing marked changes when I do diff (e.g. this. For the ones without a -/+ next to it, I dont' see any changes and don't know why it appears in the diff. For the ones with a -/+ next to it, the left column shows a yellow background with the change highlighted in a light yellow, which I have a very hard time finding sometimes. The right column has light blue markings for the changes, and I have a hard time seeing those as well when the change is very minor (a space, a period, etc.). Instead of faint pastel yellow/blue color scheme, I would like to see the the changes highlighted in very bright colors - red, deep yellow, etc. I just changed my preference to "Display diffs with the new yellow/blue color scheme and design that improves accessibility" and I don't see any improvement in visibility of the edits. Anything else I can try? -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 11:24, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

The Team Members, I, am new to WP. Today I edited the "LADY DIANA" Death and had submitted the under mentioned :-
Lady Diana Accident or a Planned Murder People all over the world knows that "The Lady Diana" was having an affair with Dody. How the Dody was planted with Lady Diana ? How they both were killed in France ?
If you see the Hindi Language (Hindi is the Language of INDIA) film "SHAN". In a shot Amitabh Bachchan and Praveen Bobby robed a diamond necklace from a Hotel and runaway in a car they were followed by POLICE (In Marathi Language people pronounced POLICE as पोळीचे or पोलिसे) This is the same way the french people call Police (This says the location of couple in France) when Amitabh Bachchan was stopped at the dead end (Dead End means Death) now at the end Police came and about to tell something, before Police Personnel says some thing Amitabh Bachchan Starts telling them something like this :- I am the the son of FOOL CHAND (Fool means Flower). Before becoming a flower the bud comes first (BUD Means in Hindi DODI) and the man dodi was planted with Lady Diana who was killed in the road accident along with Lady Diana. This the same DODI Which J.L Nehru used to of wearing on his Sherwani. J.L Nehru and Prince Charle's shares the same date of birth but the year is different. Dodi is the conversion of TODI, what Indian's were used to, to call English People when they were here in India till 15th of Aug.1947. The Full name was TODI BACHCHA (Not Bachchan). The Indians abused the English People as Basted by saying TODI BACHCHA They Planned this for Queen of England and brought forward the DODI up-to Lady Diana. Because of Strong Family Values the Indian's could not succeed it for Queen Mother also because of Lady Diana's affection towards the poor and needy people, the Dodi AL FRAYED be able to come up-to Lady Diana.
There are much more films which tells about International and National Incidents and Other Activities like :- Song :- Tauba-Tauba - stands for Lashkar - e Tauba. A terrorist organisation. it's a Hindu and Indian Organisation.
But now it is removed from the page, also I wanted to fix a Picture or an Image in the article. Please guide and Advice. Thanks, Regards,

Inside a link I want to insert bracketed text, so I need to represent the inserted brackets with HTML character references, but I forgot them. I think between &# and the semicolon I'm supposed to write 91 or 93 for the opening or closing (square) bracket, respectively, but I forgot if the wiki requires padding with zero/es. Does anyone have advice, please? And which Wikipedia page has this information? Nick Levinson ( talk) 16:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

19:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC)Hello guys, I am from India and have recently started actively contributing to existing articles of Wikipedia, about my locality and the stuff which I know. But while editing an article recently, I saw that I have read some info about it from a book I got from Project Gutenberg. So, how may I add this as a reference to justify the validity of the information I have added there?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheEternalFlame ( talk • contribs) 18:37, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm not complaining it was deleted (at least not here!)
I would just like to get at the text I wrote - I never thought Wikipedia irrevocably deleted pages, but you seem to have.
The page is: Julian_Field_(programmer)
