When an audio file is included, it does miss the total length of the audio playback which is not very nice UX. (e.g. Stephen Frys infobox with his voice) 78.35.216.103 ( talk) 01:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
On his page, it says he collaborated with Eugene Levy on Caddyshack. He did not. He did though on the film Club Paradise, which you did not list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.213.8 ( talk) 01:30, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Is there a guideline somewhere that says that we should/shouldn't put birth/death dates in the article text of the subject's parents? Something like "John Doe is the son of Joseph Doe (1934-1994) and Jane Doe (1935- )." I know I can be bold and remove such text if I don't like it, so please don't point me to WP:BOLD. I'm just looking for some guideline that says one way or another is preferred. I thought I remembered seeing something like this but I can't recall where.

Hi could anyone help me fix up this Harsha Bhogle article? I thought I should update it with his latest work.

Dear editors: I am trying to help a new editor who is creating an article about a journal, the type in which researchers publish their results. I am trying to explain about reliable sources. I thought that I would use as examples a couple of existing journals. Much to my surprise, after looking at 20 or so articles with titles beginning "Journal of...", I am unable to find even one with multiple sources showing that the journal has been written about extensively in other publications. Am I missing something? How can one tell if a journal is "notable"? And if journals are supposed to have external sources, can someone point me to an appropriate example? Thanks. — Anne Delong ( talk) 05:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

I added an article back in December User:Philip1951/sandbox Suters Limited – A brief History of the company and the people behind it How long does it take approximately before it becomes live? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philip1951 ( talk • contribs) 11:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
This article was moved to Charles Worth with no prior discussions al all, and although the editor may have meant well there is a reason for using his complete name. I have reverted the talk page but cannot seem to find how to revert the article itself.

Unusual cite error (in the "Public reactions to the protests" section) message appeared out of the blue, I tried everything, but am unable to fix it. If someone could please take a quick look.

Thank you so much, it's extremely appreciated, as I tend to be the perfectionist type and article layout matters to me quite a bit! All the best! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.85.4.196 ( talk) 10:48, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
If I have a tall, thin picture and a long caption, is there any way I can give the caption more horizontal space without increasing the size of the image? 86.176.209.54 ( talk) 13:44, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I found an article in the German Wikipedia that is about an American Athlete. This article is NOT listed in the English wiki. Can I just copy and paste a google translation of that story? I understand I may need to clean up the English as not everything will translate 100% correctly. I can handle that. What I don't know is if there is different procedure in place for doing this or if there is some method that should be done to cite that this is being taken (more or less) verbatim from the German site? RedRamage ( talk) 17:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
A long time ago, I stumbled across a template that could be used to display content with a border and caption very similar to image formatting. This was not a quote template like {{ quote box}}, though the formatting was very similar. You could use it around latex, IIRC, though I failed to use it for a {{ clade}}-based tree (I didn't know of {{ cladogram}} at the time). I'm ultimately asking because I'd like to treat a floral formula like a captioned image. Circéus ( talk) 18:07, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I have added citations on the page called The Westport Library; how do I delete the box asking for citations for verification? Franksaid ( talk) 18:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi
I am Danny's father and I keep his Wikipedia page up to date
Unfortunately someone else updated the page after last Saturday's England v Ireland and they created a formatting problem that I don't know how to correct
Ideally could an "expert" phone me on (Redacted) and talk me through how to put it right
Many thanks

How can I find a book that I started to compile intending to print it through Wikipedia. My book was entitled : My Magical Garden in Kuwait. I have read/searched the FAQ but I can't find out how long a book will be saved for . I had been adding to the book over the period of a few months and then I left the project and now i can not locate it in my account.. I hope someone can guide me retrieving the book..
Thank you

Someone continues to sabotage our page (WRFF). The IP address is 68.45.204.148-you can look and see how many times they have edited it with incorrect information. How do we go about blocking this person from access to our page?

Why is somebody named Leigh making changes on my webpage? What does he know of me or my work? Some items from critics Louie Crew and Philip Clark seem to have been removed. I have a new publisher, Wisehouse of Sweden, which is publishing four of my previous POD books as mainstream publisher books. So far they have done HALFWAY TO THE STARS: Cable Car Tales of a Grumpy Gripman and THE BIG BOOK OF IN-YOUR-FACE GAY ETIQUETTE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielcurzon ( talk • contribs) 20:59, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
