What are the rules about posting names of people? I have tried to search for these rules, but could not find pertinent answers.
My name is Linda Gordon and there is a page about Linda Gordon, but it is not me. /info/en/?search=Linda_Gordon There are many people named "Linda Gordon". Would it be possible to be more specific about names, perhaps sorting by full name including middle name(s)? Also, region of birth/death and other criteria such as what the person is known for: politician, artist, author, etc. Thank you for your time.

My laugh lines are getting dark and pigmented especially in the region near lip corners. Can I use No Marks anti marks cream for getting rid of the dark regions ? What is the alternative for it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.15.60.174 ( talk) 05:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Not sure if it's genetics or I use a hydrating cream after showering (a generic brand of Oil of Olay), I sweat a lot during exercise (cleans pores) or drink a lot of water but I'm 59 and have only a few wrinkles around my eyes. (Also, I like the sun, which isn't good for skin.) Raquel Baranow ( talk) 18:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Which country has the world's largest fishing fleet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrei Marzan ( talk • contribs) 06:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Not to be oversuspicious or anything, but I somewhat doubt the complete seriousness of this question, considering that one of the blocks of text in Help:Contents reads, "If searching Wikipedia has not answered your question (for example, questions like "Which country has the world's largest fishing fleet?"), try the Reference Desk. Volunteers there will attempt to answer your questions on any topic, or point you towards the information you need." Note also that precisely the same question has been asked at least twice before, so a simple ref-desk search would have got the OP some information. Deor ( talk) 19:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't note that. I guess that it was a simple co-incidence--Yutah Andrei Marzan Ogawa 04:59, 1 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrei Marzan ( talk • contribs)
Yes, I am asking for the country with the most fishing boats, regardless of size or yield.--Yutah Andrei Marzan Ogawa 05:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrei Marzan ( talk • contribs)
Hi, just wondering about multi-grain hooplas, there's the implication that there's five equal quantities of grain indicating the five individually coloured hooplas, but when you look at the ingredients 74% of the hooplas are cereal flour, split into 44% oat, 13% barley, 9% wheat 4% maise and 4% rice, so if this is the case why are the hooplas equally distributed in colour, is this artificial to suggest that the level of grain is equally balanced when the hooplas are actually mostly oat?

Hello, Your page referencing the VFW states in the history section, "There are two other Posts which claim to be the first, but the VFW ....". There is no other elaboration to explain this statement any where I can find (background pages and/or archives).

Why is a tattoo called a tatau in Far Cry 3?-- 78.156.109.166 ( talk) 20:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
How? I have these fruit colors (danish: frugtfarver) to mix from; blue, red, yellow, green. It's for a rainbow ice lantern. I've started by a layer of red on top (although it's in the bottom of the ice lantern, but that's the top of the ice sculpture). I tilt the form so it looks like a rainbow. I wait till the red freezes completely, then add/freeze the next color. I've calculated the precise thickness of the layers so they're equal (they need to be, to look like a rainbow). The form is 1.1 litres so I divide by 7 layers and get 1.57 decilitres for each layer. Any idea of how to make it look bent? And how to make the first (red) layer to be as long as the other layers? Idea: you could put something in the corner in the bottom, under the red water (not ice, since then you can't put anything down there; remember, the form is tilted when freezing)?-- 78.156.109.166 ( talk) 20:45, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
