Hit here,
I recently submitted a page for Assistance Dogs Australia (ADA).
ADA is a registered charity which does not receive government funding and relies on the generosity of the public to provide its valuable services to the community. Founded in 1996, Assistance Dogs Australia trains Labradors and Golden Retrievers to help people with disabilities, providing them with greater freedom and independence.
I was told that i could not have the page as it was sales and had info from our website included.
I am confused as to why we can't have a page whn a number of other charities have their own wiki page so am unsure why ADA can't have a page??>
thanks for your help Hayley — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayleynissim ( talk • contribs) 02:44, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I have a draft article - Pjr 2005/sandbox/Creativism - with Notes at the end, followed by References. When I preview this article, the Notes show only as numbers (1-44), with the actual text for the Notes given separately after the References, instead of before them. Is this the result of an error or omission on my part? How can I get the text of the Notes joined to their respective numbers, the way they appear in Edit mode?

What is Wikipedia's policy on uploading scans of a deceased person's vital records for biographical purposes? e.g. birth/death/marriage certificates and social security applications (SS-5's). Particularly in a case where there is contradictory information about the deceased's date of birth, legal name, etc. Muzilon ( talk) 10:38, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the page Chronotron, I would like the Chronotron definition to be disambiguated. Chronotron is also the name of a popular time-stretching and pitch-shifting software product (www.chronotron.com). Chronotron 1.0 was released in 1999 as a DSP plug-in for Winamp. The brand Chronotron and its logo are registered trademarks in France since 2003 (see http://bases-marques.inpi.fr/ for the actual registration information). 178.254.68.246 ( talk) 11:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Like I said, I am trying to add a counter that will count the number of days since something have occurred. I need it for setting a world record in something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabia 14 ( talk • contribs) 11:46, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

12:02, 14 January 2015 (UTC)I have copied and pasted Wikipedia articles into my email for many years. This is for my own use only. I use the info. as foundations for further study, or more mundanely, to find out about a new movie. This morning, I could no longer copy Any article. I tried two entirely different email accounts, even though I only use one of them for this purpose. I haven't tried to print an article directly from your website, but, that's all I need, more paper. Or, if I were to do this, it would be part of an email containing further research to be printed. What happened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taksasha ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
There is an accessdate= error on a reflist. What is the procedure to correct it?

. Say, if you want to keep accessdate as today, then write accessdate = 2015-01-14
Thanks. If you need further help, contact me.

18:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC)In a desire to try something new, I created an article in my user space. When I moved it out (or tried) I ended up with an article User:Edith Barry instsd of Edith Barry. The second link, although blue, leads to the USER page. When I tried to move it again, all hell broke out. Please help/fix or advise. Einar Carptrash ( talk) 18:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
On January 12th, Tim Drummond died. You had him in your list for that day. Why was he dropped? As a co-writer with Bob Dylan and as a bassist for many rock n roll legends, he deserves mention as much as any prelate from Rangoon or other minor figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.74.38.174 ( talk) 18:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Reference help requested. Help me in correcting the reference links on the article. Thanks, Yogeji ( talk) 19:33, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
To whom it may concern,
Political activist and actress, Ameena Matthews, needs a Wiki page please. She’s all over the news
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Interrupters
she has a link for Wiki but it takes you nowhere.
Thanks for considering my request.

I have tried to add a profile picture to Michiel Huisman's wiki page, but I was not able to do it due to all the copy rights stuff. I feel he should be given a profile picture due to all the prominent roles he has had on TV and in movies lately. For example Game of Thrones. If anyone could add one I would appreciate it because I think he deserves it. I know it's not really a question, more of a request. I am just so new to Wikipedia that's all.
