How do I add a new entry for example for a news personality in a tv channel that does have its own article but the people from it don't. M1363b ( talk) 22:37, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Good day my fellow editors!
I tried linking 3 different wikipedia pages to my only published wikipedia article but the site still says it is an orphan. Am I linking them the wrong way?
This sure is a learning curve...
Thank you all,

I work for Berry Global and I am wanting to update our Wikipedia page. The two main things I need to accomplish are to update the "Berry Plastics" to "Berry Global, Inc." on the top of the page. There is also an image of our old logo to the right of the page. I need to have that updated to reflect our new logo as well. 40.136.42.66 ( talk) 13:33, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

, meaning the image located at

Hi there teahouse I am just wondering whether you accept editors copy and pasting paragraphs from one Wikipedia article to another without changes? The 'Cartwheels in a sari' article has 3 paragraphs copy and pasted directly from the 'Sri Chinmoy' article. Seems a bit odd? Maryanne881 ( talk) 05:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Forgive me, this is the first time I've asked a question here.
What is the accepted response when one's comment on a Talk page has been edited by another person?
Am I wrong to believe that this sort of thing is frowned upon? When I discovered this had happened, I pressed the Talk history page's "undo" button for the session that had edited my comment - something I've never done before. I was incensed that the other editor had done this.
Then, I got nervous and worried that I'd erased some useful work (this is a Talk page) that had been added since my comment was vandalized, so I "undid" my own "undo". What a goof! Actually, I think that no damage was done.
What should I do? I've been an occasional editor for more than ten years but I've never had someone vandalize one of my comments before. The page in question is Talk:Jed_York. Rt3368 ( talk) 10:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

What is the best practice for making multiple interwiki links to a single article? I've seen that it's usually the case that you put an interwiki link on the first mention of a topic on an article, but I've also seen the case that an article gets multiple links within a single article. Obviously, putting too many links is not a good idea, but sometimes it's helpful, like with people's names. What is the best thing to do in these cases? 203.190.218.33 ( talk) 08:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
A little hypocrisy I noticed that really disturbs me.
A large number of pages about "professional" football players being created every single day. Low quality references being used to backup information on those pages, in most cases - spammy sport directories. It seems like as long as page is about football player, and as long as it has at least one reference - it's sufficient to pass all criteria.
As opposite to the "football" pages, Youtubers are seen as a spam and promotion, despite the fact that some of them have millions of subscribers to their channels and their videos has been seen more times than average TV show on BBC.
Can someone please clarify why football/soccer players are so worshipped on Wikipedia and their notability is not even questioned? Jone Rohne Nester ( talk) 14:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Much of the Barrayaran Imperial Auditor article is identical with Imperial Auditor on the Vorkosigan wiki at wikia.com. I haven't checked the histories, but the wikia page was almost certainly the source:
Wikia.com uses CC-BY-SA licensing. ( http://www.wikia.com/Licensing) Suggested actions? Please {{Ping}} me to discuss.
Incidentally, I am posting this via my mobile phone. I tapped Ask a question and inserted .m
into the address to get to the mobile editor. When I saved the entry, it appeared at the top of the page.
I remember that that used to be standard for this page, contrary to (AFAIK) every other page; and I remember the proposal to make insertion match the standard, and the decision to do so, and the implementation. So why is the mobile editor for this page stuck in the Dark Ages? I had to edit the section again, get into the mobile editor, cut it blank, edit the then-bottom section, and paste mine at the bottom of it.

But the instructions given are not very clear (there is talk about "ID", "site ID", "sitelink" ... but it is never specified whether they mean source or target ID, source or target site ID, source or target sitelink). I tried, but I always get an error message saying: "The link enwiki:Iskandar is already used by item Iskandar (Q437299). You may remove it from Iskandar (Q437299) if it does not belong there or merge the items if they are about the exact same topic."

That is, I left
these two back to back copyright attribution edit summaries, each while making
dummy edits to the article. Note that the first addresses credit to the authors, as required under the copyright license, and the second addresses licensing. Then in
this edit, I added a filled out {{
wikia content}}
template to the references section. Best regards--

Hello,
When a page is nominated for deletion, who gets to "be the judge." Can anyone not involved with the page decide? CRAuser ( talk) 20:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm writing an English language article on a subject for which a Wikipedia article already exists in another language. I seem to remember that there is a template to use to refer to the article in the other language. But I can't find the template in the "Help" section of the Wikipedia. Can someone direct me to the proper way of handling this? Thank you. Nolabob ( talk) 11:27, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi fellow Wikipedians! For example, if a lyricist whom the musician has worked with for several albums, songs, and years, could that lyricist be put in the musician's associated acts? Sorry for my bad English tho. ~ Pog ing Juan 14:39, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

! Oh sorry... I added some, but I am a bit freaked out due to the way you said that. I'm sorry to tell you this, but I thought it was worth saying. GermanGamer77 ( talk) 16:45, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks a lot for your help,
PrimeHunter! I already heard of it and immediately added 5-6 new Washington user templates. Sorry I saw
Malik Shabazz's comment first, that's when I did, but thanks anyway! =D
But how can I make a giant animated waving
Germany flag like on some Swedish guy's page with a giant Sweden flag?

[[File:Animated-Flag-Germany.gif|300px]]
or another size than 300px. Is that OK? I don't know the Swedish guy's page you refer to. Name him if you want similar code.

09:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Hi. I want to link https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskander to /info/en/?search=Iskandar (in the language section). But the instructions given are not very clear (there is talk about "ID", "site ID", "sitelink" ... but it is never specified whether they mean source or target ID, source or target site ID, source or target sitelink). I tried, but I always get an error message saying: "The link enwiki:Iskandar is already used by item Iskandar (Q437299). You may remove it from Iskandar (Q437299) if it does not belong there or merge the items if they are about the exact same topic." Can somebody please give me dummy-foolproof step-by-step instructions (1,2,3,...) for how to link these 2 wikipedia articles? Please don't do it yourself, I would like to try myself with your instructions. Thank you. -- boarders paradise ( talk) 13:53, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Which is correct. 5-inch or 5 inch. Thanks TVGarfield ( talk) 16:48, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I was trying to recall the name of a template which is used to illustrate the use of a second template, that is, it generates text like { { Diff } } when you transcluse this template with the name Diff. Could someone please help? Airbornemihir ( talk) 18:37, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
