The Ryobi Ltd. article is inaccurate as it lists Techtronic Industries as the "Parent". Techtronic licenses Ryobi power tools for manufacture in all markets other than Japan. However, the largest portion of Ryobi Ltd's. income is from their Die Casting division followed by the Graphic Systems division (printing presses). While publicly traded, the Urakami family are the primary shareholders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.109.78 ( talk) 01:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
How long does one have to have an account before it stops being tracked by the recent changes counter from new accounts? [1] I'm asking this because User:Anonymouse321 is still being tracked there despite having an account for a month and over 2000 edits. A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 06:43, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
The question was answered at the Village pump. –– Anonymouse321 ( talk • contribs) 15:10, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Is it possible to create a redirect page that redirects one to a specific section of an article? I am asking here due to the attention message when creating a new section in the Redirect Help page saying that not many users view that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KidXap ( talk • contribs) 08:54, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello! I want to save tables, as the one below: http://i.imgur.com/6rLFB.png but I want to save them as they are, editable, with their sorting script functional, etc is there a way? thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.251.115.2 ( talk) 11:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
I've been editing this page, and have considered adding an infobox:
I've added infoboxes to other pages I've edited by just copying them from existing pages and changing the details, but I'd like to know how to create one from scratch.
The list of templates on the above-noted page includes an infobox called persondata, but I noticed elsewhere that there is an infoboxperson template as well. Which one, if either, should I use, and how do I create it? I tried adding infobox person to the above-noted page, and the name merely showed up in red, with no cells in which I could add information. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Help with this would be much appreciated. NinaGreen ( talk) 18:38, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
I am searching for an article, which I know exists, about a male English Jewish comedian, active in the 1930s. I have found Category:English male comedians, but it lists 310 articles and I do not want to check them all. Is there a way of combining categories, something like "English male comedian"+"Jewish"+"born 1890-1910"? Maproom ( talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to edit the name of Cuno Puempin on Wikipedia from German Pumpin (with a German u), to English Puempin. I have Puempin all over the page, except the title which reads in German. Are you able to help me correct the title as well please ? I was told to ask an administrator for help, but am unable to locate his/her address.
Thank you in advance <email redacted> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.199.103.135 ( talk) 20:08, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I work for Greenstone TV, a production company in New Zealand. How would we go about changing the title of this article without having an account? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenstone_Pictures The name of the company was changed last year. Everything else is correct, just need to change "Pictures" to "TV." Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.126.133.214 ( talk) 20:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I found that the Wikipedia article on the national sporting organization in Ireland had major ommissios. When I rated the article accordinglly, a suggestion popped up for me to edit it. ...only to find the page locked.
..I contacted the supervisor for the page and asked if I could submit my suggestions for him to review. That was several weeks ago, and I have not had a response. I am new to Wiki, and interested in contributing some more information over time. Could I please have some suggestions on how to go about getting my material considered. Thank you so much!
