I was watching an Inside Edition video and a Reuters video on YouTube. They were about a woman with a massive ladybug-themed collection [1], [2]. But with the conflict arising in Ukraine, I feel I must help her, her children, their cat, her friend and the ladybug-themed collection evacuate that country and immigrate to the United States of America. It's only a matter finding the right boxes, documents and time. What do I have to do? Who should I turn to? Anyone know? 2603:7000:8100:F444:D500:5C:3873:78B1 ( talk) 12:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
I am not sure if this is the right place but I have a question. Does anyone know where I could find an archive of the American newspaper, Daily Fayetteville Democrat, specifically the issue from Nov. 27, 1915. It is probably unlikely as it is an obscure small town newspaper but any help is appreciated. Gandalf the Groovy ( talk) 14:02, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
@ DuncanHill How do I login into Newspaper.com with my Wikipedia Library Card? I am logged in and have access but I am not sure how to sign in.Please ignore the last message, I have figured it out.
There's a programme on television called Outback Car Hunters, in which two blokes wander around Western Australia buying and doing up cars. When buying the cars they often end up including a slab or a carton of beer to sweeten the deal. How much beer is a slab or a carton? Thanks, DuncanHill ( talk) 18:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
[3] I know there are a lot of Irish drinking songs that say unkind things about the English. Do they have those in Scotland too, and are they going to be banned? For that matter, does England have them in the other direction? Thanks. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 ( talk) 20:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
“...in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary”.
Not a drinking song, but a highly seditious toast. "God bless the king. I mean the faith's defender. God bless - no harm in blessing - the pretender. But who pretender is, and who is king, God bless us all, that's quite another thing." Itsmejudith ( talk) 11:34, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
I would think these maps already exist, but all I've been able to find is File:English in the countries of the world.png, which is only used on WP-fa and where I can't tell some of the colors apart and where some of the choices are dubious (e.g. Russian as the primary foreign language of Belarus, when it's the primary native language).
If they don't already exist, I'd like to create maps for where English, French etc. is the primary language of instruction + where it's the most popular foreign language studied in schools. Also a map of most-popular foreign language by country. I don't want to duplicate someone else's work, though: surely we have this info somewhere? -- kwami ( talk) 22:57, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Reference desk editors. I am trying to access information relating to this man here, http://www.dkdonovan.com/getperson.php?personID=I32318&tree=Main. I want to locate information regarding his parents. I would like to access information from the mentioned census's but they are quite hard to read due to their age. Is there an easier way to find this information in a more readable format? Here is the 1850 census for reference, http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/agriculture/files/1850/manuscripts/indiana/1850_Indiana_Amrstrong%20Twp.pdf. Thanks in advance, from Gandalf the Groovy ( talk) 23:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC).
