Hi. I am trying to properly place the caption of a map, in an infobox, that explains the meaning of its colors. It is in the article Herodian Tetrarchy, for the file Herodian tetrachy.png. According to MOS:CAPLENGTH, "Infobox images with mission insignia – no caption needed, but if there is a description of the symbolism, it should be included on the image description page." I just don't know how to do it. Any help is appreciated. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 00:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Hey, how to made these image? Tolaquangkhoi2012 ( talk) 04:36, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I've come across certain articles with parts likely considered as transphobic in the west. As an example a music album review where the writer "can't discern" if the performers are "men or women" and voices their disdain. In another article the slur "shemale" is used, referring to "switching" a character's gender.
Where to bring up my concerns? I can share the pages (elsewhere, the help desk likely isn't optimal) and have them archived on Wayback Machine . Is there any policy concerning Wikipedia-accepted publications releasing potentially hateful content?

After 10 years of wikipedia editing, I am still struggling with the syntax in wikitable sortable. The first table (in Greater Melbourne section) does not sort the date properly when sorted. It appears to be an older style of wikitable sortable and I am not sure how to incorporate data-sort-type=isoDate
into the column header.

. That is not sortable and the template has no parameter to give sortable output. If it's used then you have to give sort keys for each date. See
Help:Sortable tables#Specifying a sort key for a cell. I'm not sure the template should be used there. The documentation says "for use inside other templates (or table rows) which emit microformats".

Greetings! My nickname is Freddy176. I would like to propose a new Wikipedia page on an individual, E. Fred Schubert, who currently is a professor at RPI < https://sites.ecse.rpi.edu/~schubert/ >. The draft of the page is located at < /info/en/?search=User:Freddy176/sandbox >. Could you please help me with the following questions: Would you have any suggestions for improving the proposed Wikipedia page? How can the Sandbox page moved to a regular Wikipedia page? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Freddy176 ( talk) 13:11, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

While reading the Wikipedia page on "Names of large numbers" - /info/en/?search=Names_of_large_numbers - I noted that - (1) a googol is 10^100, and that a googoplex is 10^googol. (2) a centillion is either 10^303 or 10^600 (depending on either a US or a British numbering convention). But no matter which numbering convention you use, tt would seem that 10^centillion (10^10^600 or 10^10^303) is an even bigger number than a googolplex (which is 10^googol or 10^10^100). Am I (a) correct in my understanding? (b) what is the name, if any does, of 10^centillion (in either one or both of the conventions, 10^10^600 or 10^10^303)

Grigori Grabovoi rant

I added some information useful to the Article, with a link: Rossiyskaya Gazeta, socio-political newspaper founded by the Government of the Russian Federation[edit] In a file retrieved from Rossiyskaya Gazeta, written by Alexander Kapkov, he describes how with the help of the device he created, that is patented and works with crystals, and I quote: 'Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Doctor of Technical and Physical and Mathematical Sciences Grigori Grabovoi' could slow down the chain reaction of a nuclear explosion right at the test site. The author of the article writes that there were a series of underground nuclear explosions, several tests were carried out as an experiment. He writes too that 20 kilometers from the epicenter, a nuclear charge of the same power was initiated. A constant value of the resulting destruction was recorded when the device was turned off. And wrote that when it was turned on, the military recorded very clearly that the destruction was almost halved. He also wrote that the Academician G. Grabovoi said that with a more advanced and powerful device, the destruction level can be reduced many times, and when several devices would be turned on it could be completely eliminated. He describes how the crystal module has passed very serious tests. He writes that at that date, a patent had been obtained and that this is a device capable of preventing man-made disasters many natural disasters as well. He states that the scientist carried out work with the crystal module in two stages from 1986 to 1988, (during the existence of the USSR) and then from 1990 to 1991 at the Semipalatinsk test site, which he carried out with an employee of the Institute of Seismology of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Tashkent), D. Kramarovsky, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. And I cite the quote: "To predict and prevent any catastrophes, including nuclear ones," academician said, "I used my own formulas of general reality and the theory of wave fusion. On their basis, a special device was built". The disciplines developed by Academician Grabovoi marked the emergence of a new science in Russia, said the author of the article. The author of the article also describes how, with the help of this technology it is possible to control weather and reduce impact of nuclear explosions. Alexander Kapkov describes how these miracles of remote control in practice registered by numerous commissions reputable international organizations such as the UN and UNESCO as well as numerous Russian departments, like the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Mission Control Center, etc. In 1999, the head of the agency, M. gave his feedback on the possibilities of using technology to forecasting earthquakes to the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, the Agency for Monitoring and Forecasting of Emergency Situations of the All-Russian Research Institute of Civil and Emergency Situations. Shahramanyan said, according to Kapkov, that, in all cases of testing the device, they obtained full confirmation of the prediction phase. In July 3, 1999 in Kamchatka, Japan and Alaska, a few months before the earthquakes, with 100% accuracy, z's predictions were proven to be correct. The author of the article posed the question on what kind of mathematics was it that allowed a person to mentally calculate all the operations for such an effective control of the surrounding reality. Any event is the result of the interaction of stationary areas of reality with the dynamic ones, explained the Academician. A distant analogy of such a "collision" of static against dynamic areas can be the cause of atmospheric fronts, when snow, hail and lightning come down as a result of this collision. He explained such scenarios as only in the dynamics of multidimensional space-time coordinates any events occur. There is a mention on the Creating fields of information and explained that the light radiation coming out of a nuclear reaction, for example, primary during the explosion at a huge magnitude speed, the calculated pulse velocity in Grigori Grabovoi's device is equal to such a small fraction written as 10 to the minus seventeenth power that is way faster that this reaction of the explosion. It turns out that the technology of consciousness is faster than an atomic explosion and allows you to overtake the nuclear reaction. And he ends his article by saying that the technique created with the help of the "crazy" theory works successfully.

Wikipedia redesigned its article pages, and now the print is too small. Even when I make the page larger by clicking on the square in the bottom right corner, the type is still too small to read easily.
