Hi, my name is Jeff Waters and I am the owner of the music group ANNIHILATOR from Canada. Annihilator (band)
There is a user named: MetalDiablo666 who has deleted/altered my official "facts/bio/info" on the page. A few minutes ago, i used the "undo" function to revert back to the recent and correct version of the page... again, what this user did was delete the official stuff and somehow leave incorrect facts... How can I prevent him from changing this page again? He is not there to add facts or "help out"; he is deleting official facts that I uploaded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metaliker ( talk • contribs) 01:28, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
In the following article: Maher Arar - I can't seem to be able to distance "in" from "Canada" in the first sentence? Matt714 ( talk) 02:09, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
It's normal in Chrome's incognito mode. Must be some extension I'm using: http://i.imgur.com/9m1bugd.jpg Matt714 ( talk) 18:59, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Are there any rules and/or guidelines on wikipedia which state that a user must contribute to wikipedia if they hope to have their user sub pages kept? So for example, can a user cease contributing to main space articles and instead contribute solely to their own user space, without having to worry about their user subpages being deleted?

I know that you can find out the page views of a particular page on Wikipedia by first clicking on the History tab and then clicking on "Page View Statistics". Is there a tool available where you can type the names of multiple articles and then compare the page views of all of the articles together. It would be a real time saver. Thanks.

Hello,
I am writing on behalf of The Shepherd Building Group. I work for the company and need to change the logo on the page as it is incorrect.
The article is here: Shepherd Building Group
The user who uploaded the logo has not been instructed to by the company. I am unable to overwrite the image. Could I be advised how to gain control of editing the page. It can include any information that is taken from reliable sources, ?
Thanks
Katy Jobling

On 21st November an editor was taken to WP:SPI for suspected sock-puppeting and there is a long backlog for dealing with these cases. This case is still low down on the list. Today the editor has opened yet another account in a different name (this is clear from comparing userpage details). Could details of this new suspected sock-puppet account be added to the current SPI form? ~ P123ct1 ( talk) 10:41, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I seem to be experiencing a technical glitch, or I did something the wrong way, but cannot figure out what... I just created a new stub article, First Council of Dvin, put the reflist under a reference header at the bottom, then added a navbox and 2 categories, but they don't display when I save the page. The references appear but without a header, the rest not at all. Could anyone fix it or tell me how to do it?? Many thanks! Susuman77 ( talk) 14:29, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

02:35, 2 December 2014 (UTC)There are other Wikipedia articles on this group in other languages, e.g. Arabic. (I do not mean translations of the en. version.) How do I look these up? ~ P123ct1 ( talk) 14:48, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
In the first paragraph of the above mentioned article, a treatment listed is 'cannabis.' This requires a reference. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.111.102.2 ( talk) 15:32, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

How can the Wikipedia index be improved to find my answer (or help me find the answer)
Around 1972, one or two American runners were sanctioned for standing around during the medal ceremony. They said they were minding their own business like white people minding their own business among black people. What happened/who were these famous people?

The section on German compounds mentions the German language can be used to produce surprisingly long compound words. I have seen the word Banküberfallvorbereitungsüberwachungsdatenspeicherungsgesetz used in a German Donald Duck comic book, and it clearly seems to illustrate a surprisingly long German compound word. If I take a photograph of the panel where Chief O'Hara is arresting Black Pete, citing this (fictional) law, am I allowed to publish it on Wikipedia? After all, I don't own the copyright on the drawings of Chief O'Hara and Black Pete on the panel. JIP | Talk 19:00, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
I am editing the Wikipedia site for my old professor, George W. Hilton. Trains Magazine has sent me a new obituary that they ran in their November issue with their permission to post it on Wikipedia. But, while I know how to enter a link to a pdf that is on another site (eg, AEI), how do I attach the pdf file directly to George's Wikipedia site? When I click on edit the references, it does not take me to the reference section where there are presently four references. Thanks,

Commons:File:Trevelin.jpg has recently been deleted, see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trevelin.jpg. This image was used in articles in several Wikipedia languages. User:Filedelinkerbot quickly removed the reference to this file from Trevelin in English Wikipieda, but it has not removed the references in corresponding articles in eight other languages: br:Trevelin, cy:Trevelin, es:Trevelin, eu:Trevelin, fr:Trevelin, it:Trevelin, pt:Trevelin and sco:Trevelin. Should I raise this in User talk:Filedelinkerbot? I could edit these pages manually, but I am wary of editing a page in a language that I don't understand. In each case, a recent edit replaced a valid image with the now-deleted image. I hope that a new edit will prompt the restoration of the original image by an editor watching the page.
