I've created a Star (symbol) article, and changed this to redirect there. Fuzzypeg☻ 06:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Inserting a diagram
{helpme} To whoever can help me with this, I'd like the following diagram inserted into the section "Shield of Solomon," but when I put it in, it appears at the bottom of the article and indents the entire remainder of article. Preferably, I'd like it to appear on the right of the screen, as would an uploaded photo. Thanx! Dale 01:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I had to remove your table since it was breaking my example. The code you want is (I think) this (edit to see the code):
| 4 | 9 | 2 |
| 3 | 5 | 7 |
| 8 | 1 | 6 |
- I'm not sure that you need that, though. A link to magic square would probably be more appropriate. --Sopoforic 01:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- If I can get it into the text, I will proceed to explain, using the diagram, how exactly the star is a key to solving the puzzle. If a reader needs to flip back between two pages, it won't be as evident how the puzzle can be solved by using the method I will describe. Dale 02:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- I did something to the magic square to get it on the right. That is the best {{helpme}} will get you - post at the Help desk if you want more people to look at it.--Commander Keane 03:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shield of Solomon
Can someone explain what the Shield of Solomon section is all about? I can't make any sense of it. For a start, the term "Shield of Solomon" is fairly uncommon, and like the Shield of David and the Seal of Solomon, of which it seems to be a conflation, it is more commonly shown as a hexagram, less commonly as a pentagram or a "five-pointed star". Furthermore, how is the five-pointed star a key to magic squares? I'm highly suspicious. Fuzzypeg☻ 23:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
