Ref number 8 is currently "fixed" and correct. It is NOT a "dead link". Please remove tag if you can, I am unable to do so. thanks 175.33.125.158 ( talk) 04:42, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I am working with an organisation who have amassed a lot of local history information on a website hosted by them (they are a charity), the purpose of this is to make historical information available to a wider audience. In many ways this seems to be a natural fit with Wikipedia and perhaps a way to move away from the technical support problem that we currently face, to one of providing, maintaining and editing content - which is really where we can add value.
Our site is contained mainly in these pages: http://history.nlcaonline.org.uk/category/street
I wonder if there is an opinion on how suitable this would be as Wikipedia content, and then the best way to "automatically" upload this to the site ready for editing?
Any thoughts would be very welcome

Thank you for the help, we'll find another way. Best wishes.
For the GVA per capita, the converted US dollar value currently has no separating comma ($62637). Is it possible to add a separating comma (so it becomes $62,637) while keeping the convert template ({{To USD|48857|GBR|2017|round=yes}})? I tried adding a comma between '48' and '857' in the template (as you can see from the page history) but it says Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",". Or should I remove the template and manually type in '$62,637'? JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 10:15, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
{{formatnum:{{To USD|48857|GBR|year=2017|round=yes}}}}
produces 62,879.

Hi, an editor has been going through articles on Christianity and Satan and changing Devil to devil wherever it is capitalized. MOS:ISMCAPS is unclear if it should be capitalized. "Proper names and titles referencing deities are capitalized," but the Devil is not a deity (at least in Christianity). "Do not capitalize terms denoting types of religious or mythical beings, such as angel, fairy or deva." My sense is that Devil should be capitalized when referring to Satan, and lowercase when referring to devils in general, but I would like to confirm before I go ahead and revert the edits. - thanks - Epinoia ( talk) 19:03, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello, can images taken by the United Nations be used on Wikipedia?
