I have been helping Deana Martin update her wiki page, because the links we put in from songs she has recorded to descriptions of those songs keep getting deleted. Also, the photo of the book cover she had uploaded (book is about her father) was deleted. After they were deleted the first time I went in and put connections to articles that showed she had recorded those song, but after a couple weeks those links disappeared again. Someone named Walter Gorilitz is the person deleting the links between songs. We don't know who he is or why he is deleting the links. Can you help me understand what is going on please

As of 5/2/2018, the article has the following:"(A potentially libelous section about Alterman containing references to deliberate falsehoods made with reckless disregard for the truth has been removed.)".. ..I wonder if this is appropriate. Thanks. 144.35.45.75 ( talk) 05:42, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
I wrote a page for The London Allergy & Immunology Centre 3 months ago but I can't see it, how do I track the progress please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AliaCoster ( talk • contribs) 07:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
One can read at Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) that: "Legally recognized, populated places are presumed to be notable". But how can we document that a collection of buildings next to village, having a distinct name, is a legally recognized place? Should we trust Censuses that attribute some people to that place/area? Or should a local governing body exist so as to say that area is a legally recognized entity? Τζερόνυμο ( talk) 08:00, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Can I write an article in English, but provide references in e.g. Danish, German or other languages? If not, what to do if all of the references are in other languages than English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JolitaHarba ( talk • contribs) 08:29, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, received a notification that a failed login was attempted on my account. Immediately went to change password as a precautionary measure. It kept on resetting the page and new passwords didn't seem to stick. I can login fine, as is evident here, but I thought I'd try and request a new password as if I was locked out. Upon doing so I hit upon an error message stating I was blocked globally from requesting a new password.
Anyone able to advise? I don't want to lose access to my account even though I'm not as active as I once was. I'm trying to do all this on the mobile interface while at work, doesn't seem that intuitive a way of going about things so I'll apologise if in the wrong place. Many thanks.

Notes | Widen this to 10 cols; delete cell to the right |
I need a single cell on the bottom row to the right of the column 1 heading "Notes", in which I can place text. The cell is shown above as the one containing the text "Widen this to 10 cols; delete cell to the right". It needs to be 10 columns wide. The cell currently to its right (wide and blank) needs to be discarded.
I can achieve this with a colspan instruction but the result is a gray cell and bold font, which I don't want.
A solution will be much appreciated! SCHolar44 ( talk) 12:59, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Please look out this page: Talos (disambiguation).
It ostensibly contains an "asshole section", which doesn't show up in the "edit" mode.

I keep receiving notices from WP that there have been multiple failed attempts to log into my account from a separate device within the past 2 days. Is this an actual live user trying to hack my account? or just a computer attempting over and over again? and finally: should I change my password? it's pretty strong now.

This is all over Wikipedia today. This was some sort of mass action probably by a malicious bot of some kind. I don’t think the intention was really to breach accounts but rather to cause a bunch of chaos, which they seem to have succeeded at. (related threads are at WP:AN WP:TEA and WP:VPT) I myself haven’t gotten a notice today. It’s been a while, so I don’t remember, does the notification tell you the IP of the attempted login? Otherwise I don’t see how CU could be of use here. Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:34, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello experts,
I have copied a script from Template:Subinfobox bodystyle#Examples with the aim of having an infobox partially collapsed -- in the lower parts -- on opening. My problem is that clicking “Show” doesn’t expand anything (nothing happens). A shortened script is as follows:
the article name | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
File:An image.jpg A caption is here | |||||
Overview | |||||
Status | Operational
| ||||
Service | |||||
Type | Street tram operation |
Ideally, I’d also like to colour the section headings of the collapsed elements ("Operation" and "Technical" in the example shown) a little greyer than the background, to match the normal infobox headings as in "Overview"; and to centre the words "Operation" and "Technical", which at the moment are right-aligned.
I would be very grateful for help; I've tried my best but I fall short of my ambition at the moment! SCHolar44 ( talk) 21:45, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am the co-editor of a journal that has resumed publication but under a bi-lingual name. How could I change the name of the entry (the old name of the journal) "Études phénoménologiques" to the new name "Études phénoménologiques - Phenomenological Studies"? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerard Ghislain ( talk • contribs) 21:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC) |

In the subcategory "Joseph Lupton" - there is a strange symbol at the end of the name "Joseph Lupton". Should this be removed.? Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 23:30, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Srbernadette: it was a part of a parentheses. I removed it, not sure why it was there. 💵Money💵emoji💵 Talk 23:36, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
