Would you be able to help me change the name of the Spoto Wines page to Spoto Family Wines (add family)? The company recently added "family" to their label and I would like the article updated.

{{
u}}
is a redirect to {{
user link}}
(as are
some others). It takes one or two parameters: the login name of the person you are referring to, and an optional alias. It makes a link to that user page, so {{
u|Redrose64}}
is identical in action to [[User:Redrose64|Redrose64]]
.{{
ping}}
and {{
reply}}
, both are redirects to {{
reply to}}
(as are
several others). It takes one to seven parameters, being the login names of up to seven people you're addressing. {{
reply to}}
, when given one name, is essentially the same as {{
user link}}
when given one name, but with a couple of extra characters (an at sign and a colon) and an enclosing <span>...</span>
element, so {{
reply|Redrose64}}
is identical in action to <span class="template-ping">@[[:User:Redrose64|Redrose64]]:</span>

Hi,just reading an article on Nightwing uk and see you do not mention the Original Guitarist(Eric Percival)from 1978 to 1982 and later in 2006 on the last album 8472.Maybe an oversight on your behalf.I feel if you write something it should be written properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.141.78 ( talk) 12:15, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
1. basis of marriage
A.what is marriage
At the creation of human beings, it was only man was first created.later no ,God saw that it was not the man to be living alone and wished he created a helpmate for him.He did make a helpmate for the man and she was called woman because she had been out of man. Thus, woman was created to assist man in all his endeavors. The promise of God as to bring up children, and so on is secondary issue.
b.THE ERRONEOUS MOTIVES TO MARRIAGE
( a) Many people do marry so as ton see someone to be preparing food for them. therefore, such treat their wives as a slaves. This is very wrong motive to marriage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightofgod23 ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, the Swedish page on Taharrush gamea is not correct. It has different arabic words and is more biased than the English.
A user called Yger is constantly erasing a more correct version and fuller (based upon the English) is taken away immediately.
Now, he has edited more than 200.000 articles priory and I none so how should one therefore edit for example the incorrect naming of the subject in arabic from the start? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabehdin ( talk • contribs) 13:10, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
I have recently posted a Wikipedia entry on Sadie Morgan ( Sadie Morgan).
Despite many attempts to ensure it is written in the NPOV, Wikipedia still insists it is written in a way that promotes or advertises the subject.
Please could you provide some guidance as to what specifically is triggers this problem.
Many thanks.

Does anyone know where we can get an applicable and free picture of Maria Farantouri to Wikimedia Commons? The photo of the article is quite bad and old. Or is there any free photos over there? Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lentokenttä ( talk • contribs) 15:23, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia asks many questions during picture upload. I closed the page instead of uploading. Is there any shortcut way, where I can directly upload picture and add details later on. As we can create redirect and edit the redirect into an article? -- Marvel Hero ( talk) 17:33, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
....and add details later onnever happens. Mlpearc ( open channel) 18:19, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
You shouldn't add the "details later on", but right in the upload. It's often good to first find a local file (i.e. not a Wikimedia Commons file) you think is very similar in terms of its licensing to the one you are going to be uploading. Once you find one, click edit on that file page and copy its details, then paste into the form presented to you, tailor for your purposes, and upload away.
I do not know what you are asking when you say: "As we can create redirect and edit the redirect into an article". An uploaded image will not normally be redirected in any way. It will be placed using normal image syntax, or without that, in an infobox field. By the way who is "we"? Wikipedia accounts may not be shared by a group, but must represent an individual.

Hello,
This page appeared in recent deaths on wikidata. While trying to check data about birth and death, I found that reference n°2 is highly dubious to me. It is in arabic, which could be alright, but seems to be an ad for blue jeans, which is strange for a scientist :(
Could someone please check this page for reliability. Not even sure the person exists. Could not find his/her name anywhere…
Also the text looks like a bad machine translation :( -- Hsarrazin ( talk on wd) 22:51, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Please check ref. number 9 on the above page - it is form an old newspaper (verifiable) but in a new digital format. Please fix up how to this ref. correctly. Thanks 139.216.210.155 ( talk) 23:46, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
