Please correct the spelling of his name. I can’t edit it and it’s not right. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.98.79 ( talk) 00:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, 3 months ago i created 2 wiki pages about myself as a joke and put a photo on them as a joke. These 2 photos are now on google images and i want to take them down. Could you please take down my pages and the photos from google images.
Kind regards, Darko — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkogolub ( talk • contribs) 02:10, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
I want to delete the word 'incumbent' in a in-box of the page for Lee Jin-sung, a former president of the Constitutional Court of Korea as he retired last year. I would be grateful if you let me know how to change/edit the inbox contents. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Park Chul Min ( talk • contribs) 05:48, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
How I get an article out of Sandbox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leahernandez1 ( talk • contribs) 10:37, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi. What I as an user can do for animations I find annoyingly quick moving? I have a gut feeling they are more common in my own language wikipedia than here but anyway, is it about my personal settings, sub-project local settings or just a random choice of the animation creator?-- J. Sketter ( talk) 11:19, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

you'll find that the time between consecutive frames (images) of the animation is hardcoded in the image file. I can imagine a possibility that web browser application could have some parameter to slow down animations by scaling that factor, but I have never found one myself. As a result, the speed of GIF animation is defined by the file's creator and not modifiable. To what extent do guidelines supersede policies? My understanding is that guidelines supplement policies but do not supersede them; am I wrong? But here there is a heated debate where the participants argue past each other: Half interpret the article title policy to say that the article title should be taken from the common name if there is one. The other half interpret the naming guideline for astronomical objects as saying that the official name should be used if there is one, and an unofficial common name should not be used. At least one participant says explicitly that the guideline supersedes the policy.

I want to replace /info/en/?search=File:Keshav_Puram_metro_station.jpg with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keshav_Puram_metro_station.jpg as the first one is not image of the station but a platform of the same station(all platform on delhi metro are very similar) so the second image will be certainly more helpful. The target article is Keshav Puram metro station. If you have time please replace the image or tell me how to do it. Thanks Tuwein ( talk) 12:37, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello I was wondering if you can help me..... I was looking under Dundalk Maryland and see all different types of information about the community. I wanted to reach out to Wikipedia concerning our business. Our family has been in business in the Dundalk community for over 100 years and would like to know if we can be added to the community information. Before I explain all of our history I wanted to reach out to you and see what is the process. Should I list everything about our family. We do have a website www.dundalkflorist.com with our history listed there. Please let me know what we would need to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmcwilliams3260 ( talk • contribs) 14:04, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
I made a map of country subdivisions by HDI and it got kind of popular ( File:World Map of Subnational HDI.jpg). I want to put it on the HDI wiki page ( HDI wiki). I have tried and it got accepted, but then somebody took it down. I want to know if it might work as a permanent addition to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FluffyChicken611 ( talk • contribs) 15:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello there !! I renamed my article "european project on ocean acidification to get it published (from my sandbox to article) Unfortunately i wrote the title with a "the" and i then renamed it from "the european project on ocean acidification" to "european project on ocean acidification"...creating a redirection /info/en/?search=European_Project_on_Ocean_Acidification_(EPOCA) What i would like is that when users search for my page they get automatically the page with the title "european ...." without having a page with redirection : how to suppress the page with the title "the european..." and have automatically the page "European ...." ? Please help me I hope i made myself clear enough to you. Thanks a lot Nuluru ( talk) 16:05, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
{{

to the very top of the page. An administrator will be along to delete the redirect shortly. For more information please see
Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. However, first, the current title of your article needs to be changed, because we do not include acronyms and initialisms in our article titles (see
MOS:TITLE or
MOS:ACRONYM). The proper title of your page should be
European Project on Ocean Acidification, and you can create a
redirect at the title
EPOCA which redirects to your article. If you need help with any of this please ask!

16:11, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Thank you. If I understood correctly i should place the code {{
db-r3}}
on the first page "The european project on ocean acidification" and still, not forget to rename it into "european...", which i have already done. My problem is that i only want the page "european project..." to appear.
So if i followed what you said it should be ok ?
Thanks a lot — Preceding

Thanks a lot anyway Nuluru ( talk) 16:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Please help me with a new log in and password for an existing biography page. The Creator and editor of the page is no longer working with us and I have no idea how to proceed.
