Help -- I am new to Wikipedia, so I figured there may be some formatting issues. Below is the reason given for the rejection. I am unclear on what it means to set off the headings with nowiki. In addition, in the references there is a formatting concern because the journal listing is for November-December 1993. I think there is an issue with the two months, but I could not find anything in any of the editing tips on how to list a date like that. Can you help?
Why have all of the level 2 headings been set off with nowiki, which prevents them from rendering as headings. Correct formatting. Fix errors in references. NPHICTom ( talk) 00:13, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Tom
Can someone put this article -- Mohammed Ali (entrepreneur) -- up for deletion discussion? I think it's called "AfD". I don't know how to get that ball rolling. Also, I can't believe that that article has not been deleted yet! Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 02:20, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

(cont) 15:42, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Hi,
I am trying to add external links to finding aids of individuals whose materials are being held in Special Collections at UWG. I have only added two links but now it will not let me add more. Instead it is directing me to read up on if my external links could be spam, which I did. Can anyone help me with this issue? The links I am adding would be beneficial for anyone looking into doing research on these individuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UWGSpecColl ( talk • contribs) 14:26, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Reference help requested. I'm confused as to what error it created? Can you please shed some light on this? Thanks! Thanks, Rabbit Hill Beer ( talk) 17:12, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
In John Wayne's page I did not see (or maybe I missed it) one film he was in which for me was a great film "In Harms Way". If its there then I'm sorry to have bothered you; if not then perhaps someone can put it in, Thank you, sincerely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.116.118.124 ( talk) 17:13, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Sorry to bother, but a user: Special:Contributions/32.97.110.58 keeps changing the order of the Major Organization section without explanation. I reverted the edit and requested this person discuss it on the Talk page for Uechi-Ryu. I also asked for a more senior member to vet the situation, but nothing has happened.
As I explain on the Talk It is very subjective which organization "is more bigger important awesome" than another. For example, currently, the first organization listed is very small, the third is bigger than the second and the first, but advocates of the fifth could argue their organization is bigger than all of them!
I am not aware of a way to OBJECTIVELY resolve such fights, but I would like it to end. Otherwise, I fear members of every organization could potentially play with the order to satisfy whatever personal agenda they have. "My organization is ONLY 13th?! IT'S TOTALLY 11th!!!!"
For the record, I have not ordered/re-ordered the organizations based on what I think since that is not objective and the situation changes. 98.227.140.14 ( talk) 18:48, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes, and I did. The discussion on the Talk Page has been ignored. I had hoped to avoid advancing this further but if that is appropriate, I shall do that. Thanks! 98.227.140.14 ( talk) 22:48, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
In Addison Baker#Final mission, is the following: B-24 Liberator (Serial 42-40994). It appears as expected on my desktop browser. But on an ipad with Safari and either desktop or mobile view, the serial number appears as a bluelink and the ipad thinks it is a phone number and asks if you want to call it if you select the link. I'm not sure if this is within the scope of Wikipedia or is a technical issue that should be referred elsewhere. MB ( talk) 18:58, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I discovered a book site that takes Wikipedia articles and prints them as books on demand for $32. Doesn't that violate terms of use? It's found on ABEbooks as Book on Demand, Miami. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.44.244.29 ( talk) 19:50, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
What's the approved way of adding multiple geographic coordinates to an entry? My use case would be St. Peter, Leipzig. The church was moved to a new building in 1885 or so. The German Wikipedia splits the article up into two, one for the old church [2] and one for the new church [3], but the English Wikipedia has a single page which covers both. The coordinates current in the article are for the new building, and I'm wondering what the best way is to add the coordinates for the old building to the English language article. -- 160.129.138.186 ( talk) 20:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
When you are on YouTube and are trying to write a comment it sometimes says that channel does not exist just ignore that and carry on with your reasearch — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:422A:7D00:F81E:AB99:E5EC:53CC ( talk) 20:21, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Why is not Adolf Hitler on the list of austrian Painters, or artists? He is the only one people know, this is history whith washing at it`s very best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:FE0:C911:A3E0:B95C:3D9D:3C30:EB75 ( talk) 20:56, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
The article Brutal Raps 1: Sex and lies was proposed for speedy deletion because it was "promotional". I responded that there was nothing to promote: the album is long out of print; the publsher long vanished, and I personally have no connection with the album or anyone on it. I thought that WP wanted to include every CD released commercially, or at least every important one. But despite my reply it was deleted.
Now, if the deleter said it was "not significant" or "not documented" that would be different. But "promotional" seems loony to me. I don't know what if anything to do. Advice or explanation sought. Thank you.
It's very discouraging to have one's work deleted, and summarily at that. Please see my personal page where all my WP activities are collected. deisenbe ( talk) 22:05, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I would like to add a photo to a Wikipedia page that is in for review. It is a U.S. Army photo from their website which they allow use of for informational websites. I am confused by the online instructions, so I am looking for someone to help me get the photo into the "box" at the top of the entry. Grhynedance ( talk) 23:00, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Actually, since I sent this note, I found a different photo uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I don't know how to share that with you, but I am happy to try. it is located at File:HunzekerKennethW-ACU 2007-08.JPG. Grhynedance ( talk) 00:10, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
