Kind regards, Ben

Am still confused... I sent a request to the authors to fill and submit the information requested in the consent template at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates/Consent However, even though they did I go a response from Wikipedia saying this was not accepted. I have spent a lot of time reading the various Wikipedia instructions and just need a simple step by step instruction of how to proceed please. I would prefer not to have to have the images removed as I too take copywrite very seriously. Ben Bigfish69 ( talk) 15:45, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Please change the title of the page Donora Hillard Hare to Donora Hillard. (My name is no longer Donora Hillard-Hare, and this page is about me.) Thank you! DH
I've been editing the Mandarava entry and trying to get it up to a decent entry. Someone was kind enough to add a side banner to the page for Tibetan Buddhism. It is on the right side of the page and reads "Part of a Series on Tibetan Buddhism." Underneath the banner header, there are categories with drop down menus that include links to particularly important topics, people, places etc in Tibetan Buddhism. I want to find out where I can go to discuss the content of the drop down menus and discussing adding at least one prominent woman to the links in the banner. I appreciate your time and help.

I have this sort of 'pet-project' I've been editing now and then over years: /info/en/?search=Ban%27ei
As you can see, template for "additional citations" is dated(and they aren't any 'citation needed'-tags), so what is protocol on this?

Please put in the correct "sub-heading" for a link in the "Early life" section of the above Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge page. The link is to the page Social structure of the United Kingdom but it should then immediately go to the section "Upper middle class" - NOT "Middle class" - where it incorrectly is now. Please help Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 05:27, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I'm an experienced editor, but don't have much knowledge about creating citation templates. I wanted to create a specific-source template for a reference that I frequently use in articles, to save having to type out the full citation details each time. You can see my first attempt at Template:ONSCoB2014. I've got two questions about this. First, any ideas why the access date field isn't working? Second, why do I get several lines of white space after the template when I use it? Cordless Larry ( talk) 06:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

tags out of the template. Is there any reason why they can't be part of the template?

in citation templates. There are several issues like named references, different reference techniques, non-inline references, some things not working inside <ref>...</ref>
when it's transcluded.

tags was? They seem to be used on similar templates and keep the template page itself nice and tidy, from what I can see.

should only be used when the template page would have displayed something meaningless, for example for templates which only give a meaningful result when they are combined with other templates or called with certain parameters.
Template:ONSCoB2014 displays exactly how it will look in an article so the display is helpful to editors who want to see what the template does, for example when they preview changes.

How can I appeal against this SPI - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wiki-psyc ? -- Penbat ( talk) 18:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
I appear to be being accused of edit warring by an editor. The context and details of the issue can be found here:
/info/en/?search=Talk:Bellevue_Education#Threatening_tone_by_editor
I would welcome advice as to what I should do next as I do believe the material being deleted by this editor should remain. Does this mean I am edit warring? Daithidebarra ( talk) 19:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Our business is named "The College Basketball Experience" and I cannot see how to change the page name so that it includes the "The."
Any advice is appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cl3314 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I really don't have any idea how to upload photo and safe from any notice of deletion. First I uploaded into wikimedia it was deleted and now in wikipedia I got noticed of the deletion. Best regards Puchicatos ( talk) 22:21, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Is my recent edit on this page OK? Should the reference be in DARK italics? Or not at all? I cannot find it on the internet - but it is referenced in other sources - ancestry sites etc. Any suggestions - please fix. Thanks so much Srbernadette ( talk) 23:56, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
