Hi I am new to this and I had created Rayman School and also wrote a short article (yet to complete more) but when I do a search its states it is not found.
But when I log in to my user name it can be found.
How can I have my articles shown on wikipedia search?

Hello, I seem to have had this problem for some time. I assumed it was some kind of syntax change on Wikipedia but apparently not. I do not get alt text when I hover over a thumbed picture. I do on other pictures though. I thought maybe the programming had changed for the pictures, but this time I looked up WP:ALT text guide, and it shows how to make a Napoleon pic with alt text, but my text was the same as this, and when I mouse over Napoleon I don't get the alt text, even on the WP tutorial, so, one of these things is not like the other. Windows 7 64 bit. Quad Phenom 9650. Nvidia m-m 7050. GeForce GT 630. Auto updates on. Usually get all the drivers updated. Does my system have an issue with Wikipedia? Can I fix it? It's a minor one, but if you fix all the minor stuff you get the major performance, can help the next person so if it rings a bell please tell. Otherwise not much of an issue. Ah, a related matter is, my settings are stuck permanently on monobook no matter what I do with it. Is this related? ~ R. T. G 02:38, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

How to protect Wikipedia from those, who delete useful information only because it is not referenced, and insist on that deletions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vadim Kiev ( talk • contribs) 08:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
I don’t think that was a war. And my question is more general - there are type of bastards that make Wikipedia worse, regularly deleting useful and interesting information only because it is not referenced, some of them delete much more then write, and there should be means to protect Wikipedia from such destroying activity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vadim Kiev ( talk • contribs) 09:56, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I just created a new article using the Article Wizard (title: Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI)) and I pressed save page but then nothing seemed to happen/there was no submit option? When I look at my watchlist and contributions pages in my profile I can't find the page. Does it exist and is now waiting for approval? Or do I need to create a new page? Many thanks for your help. Cheers, Alice Global e-Sustainability Initiative — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeSIGeSI ( talk • contribs) 11:12, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
When I add a name to the "Notable people" list for a US city, I follow the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline, which states that "any famous or notable individuals" who were born or lived there may be added. It doesn't define what "famous" means, and it doesn't say these people must have a Wiki article about them in order to be included.
I recently found myself in an edit war after adding Debra Goodwin to the list of notable people from Austin, Minnesota. Ms. Goodwin represented Minnesota in the 1981 Miss America pageant, and her name is listed at Miss America 1981. Another editor insisted on removing her name from Austin's notable people list (and threatened to report me if I undid the edit!) That editor told me I cannot add "the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries." Ms. Goodwin really isn't notable enough to have her own Wiki biography, but I do feel her one-hit-achievement elevated her to inclusion as a notable person from Austin. And remember, this is an article about Austin.
Many small towns have unique individuals who gained local fame. While not deserving of their own Wiki biography, I feel they are worth mentioning in the Wiki article about the town they are from. Is the threshold for "fame" really an approved Wiki biography?
The opinion of others would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Richard Apple ( talk) 12:58, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia People,
I just want to say something. Well, I was looking up the TV series "Whodunnit?" on your search bar. I went to where the characters are listed. You listed them in order, from top to bottom, on who gets eliminated (murdered). So in result, if anyone were to check, you are telling them who is leaving. Isn't the point of the show to be surprised? I don't want to sound rude, but you are ruining it for some people, especially me, because now I might know who the killer is and I didn't want to know until the end of the series. So, what I'm saying is, please put those kind of things in a random order. That's all I ask. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.102.171 ( talk) 15:29, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm writing about this web page: Nicole King
The page was written by LQuilter and currently has a disclaimer that it "promotes the subject in a subjective manner." I've gone through the profile and tried to delete all promotional verbiage, and also corrected some inaccuracies. Is there something else I need to do to have the disclaimer removed?
Thanks for your help.

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Orville Thomas aka Da'Ville. I am writing to you in regards to the page about me on Facebook that is derived from the wikipedia page about me. I would like for the facebook page to be removed or turned over to my control. It is taking away from my interacting with my fans. If you look at my official facebook page my fan count is very low, then have a look at the wikipedia page, it is significantly high.
Please, remove the page or turn over control to me.
Thank you!

HI I created a new article on Blake Colburn Wilbur on Wikipedia. I uploaded a photo of him from my family collection however, the Stanford Medical Library had the same photo on Flickr and put it up in 2011. (So I deleted the family owned version.) commons:User talk:WilburGen
I could ask the Stanford reference librarian for the ok to use it. But it looks like Stanford made it available to share, so I uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons. File:Blake Colburn Wilbur (1901-1974).jpg
Now I can’t seem to figure out how to bring the image in to Wikipedia – or maybe they are not posting it until Wikimedia approves it? Blake Colburn Wilbur
Please help! Thank you!
