POTD link has been edited to appear as "Orange spider conch oboma sucks". May want to correct this... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.200.227.10 ( talk) 00:26, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I received the following note from ya'll, however I have never made any edits to your site. To be honest, I didn't know that users could even make alterations to your listings. Please let me know how, when, and what information was submitted for alteration. This scares me a bit that maybe my pc got hacked into, so any help that you can give me would be appreciated.
Always, DZ

On the Lorraine Ashbourne article I recently make an edit mistake without logging in. Now my IP address is available for all to see. I am very uncomfortable with this and was wondering if there is any way I can delete it or undo the edit to hide it. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike08766 ( talk • contribs) 02:40, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Occasionally a registered editor will edit while logged out. While not usually an egregious issue, there can be some concerns about attribution and privacy.

Would including a screenshot of the movie "Tombraider" in Angelina Jolie considered fair use. I think it is. Because it's an illustration of the performance, the talent, the style of the actress in question. After all an actor becomes famous for the roles they portrayed. Showing their pictures smiling at an award ceremony doesn't make as much sense as showing a screenshot of their acting, portrayal of a certain roles they are best known for.

Hello, I was involved in a Talk page discussion (not about a deletion or move) that I believe was closed prematurely and capriciously. Is there any formal or informal way to challenge the closing? Wikipedia:Closing_discussions appears to be the relevant resource but it says nothing about this. I started a discussion on the closing administrator's talk page but that was not well received. Thanks in advance. -- Nstrauss ( talk) 08:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC) Just open another thread with the same topic and mention "I think the above discussion is closed prematurely...

Why does the LaTeX parser not like <math>\mathbb{Q} \big( \sqrt{1 – p^2} \big)</math>? What exactly is the syntax error here? -- Toshio Yamaguchi ( tlk− ctb) 13:22, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Who do I appeal to to have a "redirect" removed. The name Henry "Flagg French" redirects to "Daniel Chester French" (his son). That makes no sense. If the redirect was removed, since there is at this time no article on Henry anyone searching for his name will see which articles include his name (which are several). But because there is a "redirect" on the name it only goes to Daniel Chester French's page. I would also like to create a page for Henry French as he was a statesman, inventor and the father of Daniel Chester French. Who or how do I eliminate the "redirect" so I can create an article for Henry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mejkravitz ( talk • contribs) 14:29, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[Daniel Chester French]]
with your article. I see you already know how to edit the page. If you want the redirect deleted without replacing it with an article then you can nominate it for deletion at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.

And that is all it will do. touch screen does nothing, search does nothing. It is just stuck on the very first page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.93.218.156 ( talk) 16:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
I am currently working on a page to upload and had questions regarding verifying articles and their accessibility. Our page will reference scientific articles from journals. Do we have to link the page directly to a full copy of the article? Can it link to just an abstract or even a general publication site that solely lists the articles?

In what manner could I go about finding articles linking to another article but with a specific section in mind? Specifically I'm looking for articles containing Caliber#Caliber_as_measurement_of_length. Brad ( talk) 20:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
