The CIDR Block image has an error but it is not editable. 10.10.1.32/27 does not translate to 10.10.1.44. 10.10.1.32/27 actually translates to 10.10.1.63. The illustration does not align with the CIDR Notation explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsjob704 ( talk • contribs) 03:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Support, I need a help on apache Assign user ID alternate for MPM Event module.
As we are using mpm event instead of mpm itk, event module is not supporting Assing user ID. Could you please help on this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vtiger-sriniashu ( talk • contribs) 08:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, how can I call back deleted images like this one? -- Basile Morin ( talk) 09:23, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello I am struggling with this issue. I have created an English page for the Bulgarian artist Nina Kovacheva. This is the address /info/en/?search=Nina_Kovacheva . I am not sure whether this page is actually on the internet or in my user space?
A Bulgarian page written in the Cyrillic alphabet already exists https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0
I am struggling to link the new English page to the Bulgarian one. When I click on 'add links' under 'Languages' on the Bulgarian page in the left hand column at the bottom it asks me for 2 things. I enter 'English' but for the second block I enter 'Nina Kovacheva' and I get the message
A page "$2" could not be found on "$1". The external client site "enwiki" did not provide page information for page "Nina Kovacheva".
I don't know what to do. Can you help me or can you link the page for me? Thanks for your assistance — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankatAGV ( talk • contribs) 09:26, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, I’ve searched the FAQ, but can’t find the answer to this straightforward question.
(The article I’m concerned about is Duffy (singer), which has had several vandalistic and senseless edits in the past 24 hours, since Duffy’s Instagram revelations. Due to their nature it’s certain that the tabloids in Britain will give it continuing coverage, and that will trigger more vandalism.)
Thanks for your help. Please ping when responding. Thanks. Boscaswell talk 12:33, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
This question relates to this category page (but also pages on Wikipedia, not on Commons) so not sure whether this properly belongs on another help page:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:After_Dark
I have an interest in this category page as most if not all of the images originated with work I uploaded over the years. Might you help me with a couple of no doubt straightforward questions (apologies for not knowing the answers: I have been editing for a while but only sporadically and have no "advanced" editing skills)?
i/ There was a period when not all of the images I uploaded to English Wikipedia had been moved to Commons, some were only on Wikipedia. How can I check if there are any left which have not yet made it across?
ii/ Over the years I have uploaded other images (not connected with the tv programme After Dark) - how can I search for these?
Thanks. AnOpenMedium ( talk) 13:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello
I published the Mambo (artist) page that I manage for my husband. I spent hours publishing and editing the information as advised (structuring the text, adding references ...) and everything went well until another person told me that I was infringing on copyright because I added a photo that I myself had taken in his studio during a photo session but of which my husband had posted a similar photo on facebook. I also added elements of his official biography, available in several publications that I have cited, but again I am told that I am infringing copyright. I was absent from the screens for 15 days for health reasons and when I return the page was simply deleted and none of the people involved in deleting this page answered me despite my questions and my explanations.
I am new to wikipedia and I certainly made mistakes, I just want to understand and make sure to publish this information correctly. I lost hours of work and can no longer access any of the content on this page. Can you help me?
thank you so much

Mambo (artist) page has not initially been created by my husband or myself. He is an internationally renowned artist, more than 10 books have been published about him and the page had several contributors.
Of course, Wikipedia should not be a self-promoting platform where anyone can create a page about himself, there are plenty of social networks for that.
My understanding is that Wikipedia is a place where everyone can contribute and share valuable information and none of the comments provided by other editors had something to do with the fact that I was related to him and I have been transparent about it as I could hide it.
I could have hidden the fact I was his wife, pay someone to publish his page or as many of our artist friends ask an assistant to do it, but this is where it would be dishonest. I have the source info and don't see why I should not be allowed to update his page with content that has the guarantee to be relevant and accurate.
Isn't Wikipedia a Free Encyclopedia that encourages people to collaborate transparently in order to gather as much relevant information as possible. On his page, I am not talking about him or say what I think about him. I was factual: his bio, list of exhibitions, publications, and collaborations. I am not pretending to have control, of course, anyone can edit or publish his page, I was just contributing as I guess the community appreciates relevant info and again the reason why someone has deleted the page is not that I am his wife but because the picture I published was similar to one posted on Facebook.
Am I sanctioned for being honest and willing to provide accurate and verifiable content here? I was just hoping to get help here as I thought it was Wikipedia's spirit and if anyone found this spirit back I would appreciate his kind help. Thanks Jdemarigny ( talk) 17:02, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

There is no true correlation between the satirical misuse of the concept and its true ultimate question and response. The commercialization of the theory on social media in example FaceBook lend it no credible opinion on the matter but is merely used as another form of entertainment with little or no real means of educating its members.

Is there a policy, guideline or recommendation, on how to deal with empty sections? In my opinion they are usually bad style, bloating articles with what are essentially work notes that don't contribute to the article. If an editor doesn't have the time to fill a section with content, they should also refrain from imposing a structure to future contributors. So if I were to go through Category:Articles with empty sections, starting with the oldest dates (currently 2008!), and start to remove a lot of them, would that be viewed as an improvement, or could it be viewed as destructive? -- Theoprakt ( talk) 21:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
