I remember a few months ago seeing an article about the reality TV series, The Big Idea. I tried to find it again because I wanted to see who won the show, but I got an article about Ruth Badger instead, which has a small section about the show in it. Was the article for The Big Idea deleted? I don't know why it's on Ruth Badger's page now because she wasn't very important on the show and was only one of the judges. 172.202.28.16 00:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
If you are uncertain of the merger's appropriateness, you should propose it on the affected pages. After sufficient time has elapsed to generate consensus or silence (at least 5 days), you may perform the merger or request that someone else do so.
No conversation was generated at the talk page, let alone a consensus. One person doesn't make a consensus. -- 67.142.130.25 02:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

First off, it's a fluke that I got it to let me edit under my name. Ok, I have tried the following to try to stay logged in:
Some have resulted in allowing edits under my name, but then a few pages later I would have to mess around with it for a while before it would allow a few (6-0) pages, edits or not. I'm running 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519, with service pack 2, on Windows XP Professional. (Ha, no wonder. In coping the version, I found this: "Based on NCSA Mosaic." wait for it... "NCSA Mosaic(TM); was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign." Yeah. Explains a lot...) I am not an admin, and a .exe file blocker is installed (No, I DO NOT own this computer.) Does anyone have any ideas? (Other than "Get Firefox", cause I don't have any real privlages.) (Or safari, or opera, or AOL browser X.X, or netscape, or linux ones, or [Insert another browser here].) -- Andrew Hampe Talk 01:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Some ISPs use transparent proxies which cause problems logging in. If you find that you are automatically logged out just after you have logged in, and removing all your Wikipedia cookies does not fix the issue, try using the secure server (much slower) to bypass the proxy. This happens most often with some satellite ISPs (particularly HughesNet/ DirecWay/ DirecPC).
Something weird is happening with watchlist - seems to have rolled back a few hours?? Tvoz | talk 04:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
The Wikipedia site, in my opinion, looks very professional and elegant. For some reason whenever I am logged in, the site changes its looks, and it goes to a different "theme" it seems. The layout of the site changes, and the appearance is very different. I do not like the way the site looks when I am logged in.
Does this make sense, and how do I keep the site looking nice (the way it is when I'm not logged in) when I am logged in?
Thanks, -- TennBikeBerk 06:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've been here over a year, and one of the things I like to do is stub sort the newer articles, and often I tag some with {{afd}} or {{notability}}. With that in mind, I was wondering, if there's a way to find out if any articles I've edited have been deleted? Though I'm sure it was rightfully so, it would still be interesting to see which ones. — Jack · talk · 13:41, Friday, 6 April 2007
There's the deletion log, but your edits disappear once the article is deleted. The Evil Clown my contributions 13:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
I was very interested in contributing about gemstone, seashell mosaics, etc. This was a few years ago. Today I was researching the words 'byzantine mosaic' and found a listing the includes a website address. I was told that I could not include mine. I would like to know how this happened. Thank you.

Teratornis 18:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)How do I edit/change the partial sentences contained in a hyperlink?? Ziggyfirst 15:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Several articles about radio stations that I have helped edit are identified as stubs. I saw that two radio stations that I knew some information about had no articles, so I created brief articles that should be considered stubs. But I try to read the information about stubs and get completely lost.
My articles are about WIST-FM and WBLO-AM radio stations. Vchimpanzee 16:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I see what I want at the base of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKQC but have no idea how to put that there. I have no idea what a "standard template" is. Vchimpanzee 18:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks, I got it. I saw at least part of what I needed while editing another article, and I copied it. Vchimpanzee 19:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Project page - Discussion - Edit this page - History - Watch
Home - Talk - Edit - Hist - Watch
addOnloadHook(function(){ document.getElementById("ca-edit").firstChild.innerHTML = "";});
To change the other tabs, in a new line put that code and replace ca-edit with "ca-nstab-project" "ca-talk" "ca-edit" "ca-history" or "ca-watch". Replace with the new text. ca-nstab-project will only change tabs that currently say "Project page." If you want to change the ones that say "article" use "ca-nstab-main". You can also use "ca-nstab-image" and "ca-nstab-template". -- Werdan7 T @ 23:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I have a bit of (what I consider to be relevant) information to add to an article about the Green Man. I have a picture of the largest Green Man sculpture in the world, 12 meters high to be precise. The picture was taken by me and the sculpture was made by me. Is it legit to add info like this which altho of general interest also contains personal information about myself? Thanks for any advice -- Toinadams 20:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes the Sunday Times , the Independent and various other tabloid dailies - I have copies of all this editorial. It's also been documented in a couple of books altho don't have copies of those. It has become something of a landmark in Birmingham UK. I do take the point about conflict of interest hence my asking about adding the information! I guess the bit of information that might be of encyclopaedic interest is the fact that it is the biggest in the world. ( http://www.steelsculpt.com/web albums/Public Commissions/greenman/slides/11.html) It doesn't have to mention my name really. Thanks-- Toinadams 20:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know why a subpage of mine is listed as a hit on google, but the main page of that subpage (my userpage) is displayed as a subpage in this search.? -- TeckWiz Parlate Contribs @(Lets go Yankees!) 22:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
