I own an original photograph of an individual who has an existing Wikipedia article. I did not take the photo myself and don't know who did. It's from the 1950's I would guess. I would like to add it to the article. How do I do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgmedland ( talk • contribs) 01:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
I know there is a way to do this, but I can't seem to be able to find it. How do you get rid of the little arrow that appears next to external links? I need to do it in a template for aesthetics and space, but I can't figure out how it is done (I've done it in the past, but I can't find where I did it and it's been years).

I would like to help clean up some articles, and have come across the "reads like a resume" tag. I wonder if someone could guide me as to how to edit so the article is no longer reading this way? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.105.118.98 ( talk) 07:16, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Let's say that I have this chart below.
Year | Name | State |
---|---|---|
2000 | George Washington | Alabama |
1962 | Abraham Lincoln | California |
1987 | Thomas Jefferson | Wisconsin |
Is there a way to change/increase the height of each row? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 08:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so pardon me if I'm posting this in the wrong place or using the wrong format. I often use the iOS Wikipedia app on my iPad and have noticed some errors that I have not been able to edit out. These errors are either incorrect image associated with an article, or incorrect title. I have not been able to find a way to make edits in those areas and would like to ask for your advice. Thank you. werewolf 22:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Revirvlkodlaku ( talk • contribs)
Thanks for the response, Fritzmann2002. I tried going to the bottom of the screen on the Wikipedia iOS app, but didn't see the desktop mode option. If you use the iOS app, maybe you can take a look at what I'm referring to, there may be another way to fix it. For example, the article for Mike Tompkins (musician) has "American politician" as the subtitle in the search results. Mike Tompkins is neither American (he is Canadian), nor a politician (he's a musician). Do you know how that can be fixed? werewolf 20:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Revirvlkodlaku ( talk • contribs)
Hey Fritzmann2002, I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. What do you mean by "move the page from desktop"? Also, what do you mean by "have a contact that you provide with information of what needs to be changed"? werewolf 01:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Revirvlkodlaku ( talk • contribs) Hello Fritzmann2002, are you still there?
I'm looking for the code syntax to mark a page that is undergoing a major update, because I don't to conflict with other users who may also want to edit the article at the same time.
I've used it before, but can't find the article with the instructions.
Thanks, Lord Bowler (Talk) 13:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

?Thanks, It was the In Use Template. I couldn't remember the name of the article. Lord Bowler (Talk) 14:01, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
I would like to see if there were links to specific content featured on a specific day. How can I see a log, or a wayback snapshot, or something, of what /info/en/?search=Main_Page featured on a recent day? (starting on February 23 of this year to be specific)
Thank you.
If I'm not supposed to give my email address, how will I find your answer?

I know I should know this but I don't. I'm feeling a request (OTRS) for help. The person claims their IP has been blocked due to an edit by another member of the household and they are unable to create an account. What advice should I give them?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 17:55, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I use Win 10 and Google Chrome. When I open Wikipedia, the font is microscopic. No other web pages appear like this. Also, I tried IE, and got the same tiny font. This happens for all the different pages I tried in Wikipedia. Jabaty ( talk) 19:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC) An 8 is the smallest font in MS Word, this is at least half again as small. Am I doing something wrong? I can't find a settings icon for Wikipedia. Any help would be appreciated!

To whom It Concerns,
I started an Wikipedia article, but it was deleted. I do not feel as though it was appropriate.
Please advise. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josedaw2 ( talk • contribs) 21:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Apparently another user doesn't understand I am new to this and my article is not nearly completed. Regarding my art and myself. I would appreciate any help I can get to make sure that my article is factual. The article is regarding myself as a prominent Florida artist.
