I am writing an article about Babul Films Society NGO. I want to add the logo of Babulfilms. How do I do this? gangactor ( talk) 02:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
May I improve the English here on teahouse, as the bubble at top does not indicate 'Talk' and instead indicates 'Project page'. The response you have may be self-evident to you but I [will] make some queries like this - better than not asking. Corrections for the questioner and the respondent, some very small omissions, like an s for an a, for example. Other readers may only benefit as the reading is clearer to understand.

I created a redirect, Oriental Order of Humility and Perfection which I am trying to get to redirect to the matching section within the Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans article I am presently working on. I've tried using both an anchor and just linking to section header itself, but It's not working quite the way it should: when I click on an Oriental Order of Humility and Perfection link it merely takes me to the top of the article. Only when I actually open up the redirect page and then click on the redirect link does it correctly take me to the right place in the middle of the article. I've looked through a bunch of the documentation and looked at some other people's implementations and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any insight would be much appreciated Greenzeiger ( talk) 01:11, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

01:33, 20 October 2015 (UTC)Hi. This is a specific question about finding the reference to a specific image in a specific article. I see that the article for Syria includes a thumbnail for File:Syrian civil war.png, and that the caption for the thumbnail states "Current military situation in the Syrian Civil War." I had wanted to tag the wod 'current' in that caption with {{ when}}; however, when I opened the article for editing, I could not find the wikitext for the image. I searched by the image name, by the caption text, by grepping for png, by manual scrolling, and by grepping for "File:". What is going on, and what am I missing? Please {{ reply to}} — Boruch Baum ( talk) 07:46, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I dont know why I waste my time as the Progressive Dogma appears to the rule the roost here. In top of that, you require we quote Main Stream Media Sources who are overwhelmingly Progressive... But this attempted rewrite of history is outrageous. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Progressivism&action=edit Someone has posted here that Progressivism begain during the Age of Enlightenment. The commonly accepted time frame of the Enlightment aka Age of Reason is 1650AD-1800AD. My understanding is Progressivism started 1890AD-1905AD in response to the wider circulation of Darwin's Origin of Species aka Darwinism aka Evolution. Even Wikipedia's own posts on Progressivism put its origins 1890AD-1905AD, but it takes me to point this issue out to Wikipedia? /info/en/?search=Progressive_Era /info/en/?search=Progressivism_in_the_United_States https://www.google.com/search?q=Beginning+of+Progressive+Movement&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Here is are 2 independent sources http://www.lib.utk.edu/arrowmont/Steve/The%20Origins%20of%20Progressivism,%20final.pdf https://quizlet.com/16738515/91-the-origins-of-progressivism-flash-cards/
Clearly Progressivism started nearly a century after the end of the Age of Reason aka The Enlightenment.
I can only extrapolate that the bunch of Progressives at Wikipedia want to back date Progressivism to the Enlightenment aka Age of Reason to appear as part of the great human awakening that occurred then. Progressives hate that Natural Law was reduced to writing during the Enlightenment and hope to confuse the issue by asserting the Great Minds of the Enlightenment created the BS Progressive Phiolosophy.
By the way, why does your documentation of Progressivism not include their assertion that White Protestant Men are the Superior Race or Progressive President Woodrow Wilson's Scientific Racism. IMHO Progressivism was the forerunner of the NAZI's
Please correct all of Wikipedia to reflect Progressivism started sometime 1890AD-1905AD and not during the Enlightenment 1650AD-1800AD.
Those were my thoughts.
Thank you for your time.

I added a list of 5 urls. but the automatic numbering is given only for 3, leaving the other 2 without numbers. why is it so? gangactor ( talk) 02:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
@ gangactor If you are taking about urls within article space, it may be because there were actually only 3 urls and the other 2 were just copies of the 3 urls. In that case only 3 urls would be shown with a small "a" or "b" shown beside the reference number in the reference list. Hope that helps or you may specify the article here.

Hello,
I am currently attempting to resurrect a page that I found within the wikipedia draft archives. This is my first attempt at editing a wiki so I am relatively new to the entire editing process. The original article was ripe with errors regarding citations and content requirements. I have spent some time working on the article and I believe it is in much better shape. I was hoping someone could review the page in question, perhaps enlightening me in regards to any errors I may have overlooked. This is the page in question: /info/en/?search=Draft:Magnatag_Visible_Systems

I have been making small edits for at least 10 years and probably more. Recently I have gotten two notices about problems with articles the software thinks I created. But I didn't create them. When I look at the page history of those articles, I cannot find my name on them anywhere and definitely not as creator. The actual creator of the page is shown in red which I think means a deleted account. Could an old account somehow be confused with my account?

Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

There are a group of Wikipedians keeping File:Syrian civil war.png up-to-date on a weekly +/- basis. The image is used by a number of pages, and each should want a caption reflecting the date for which the image is accurate. Is there a way to auto-magically update the captions on all linking pages whenever a new version of the image is uploaded. The closest I got in my own research was magic words, but I don't see how I could use them for this purpose. If it can be done at all, it would great for about a dozen pages.

Hi. I would like to semi-protect my user page, but I am not an autoconfirmed user yet. (4 days 10 edits right? I have 10 edits, but still need to wait). If I request now (I shared it with friends, and everyone spammed on it, sometimes swearing in Chinese, and thus bots didn't detect the spams. They are all using my school's IP.), can I still edit my user page? I kinda know how to request now. Frank ( User Page) ( talk) 01:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
There are a group of Wikipedians keeping File:Syrian civil war.png up-to-date on a weekly +/- basis. The image is used by a number of pages, and each should want a caption reflecting the date for which the image is accurate. Is there a way to auto-magically update the captions on all linking pages whenever a new version of the image is uploaded. The closest I got in my own research was magic words, but I don't see how I could use them for this purpose. If it can be done at all, it would great for about a dozen pages.

How can I access the History of a deleted article to extract some of the references from it ? I wish to add to an article for Perth Glory FC by adding some details and references about a Cup/Trophy called the Iron Ore Cup. There used to be an article for this Iron Ore Cup, but it has since been deleted due to failing notability guidelines ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iron Ore Cup (2nd nomination)). I'm only interested in getting some of the details and references that were in this article, for use in a separate article, I'm NOT looking at resurrecting the article.
