Thanks Kerotan but where do I find the pipe link on the Edit page?

I finally found and copied a pipe link from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_%28computing%29 but think there must be a better way.

Where did you get the pipe line, for instance, for your message to me?

Thanks for your help 10:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Sarah

When you emailed me the first time, with the example of a pipe link, where did you get the image? The straight vertical line.

Is it on a normal Character Map on the computer? Or on the Wikipedia edit page?

I know how to make both the internal and external links. I'm just missing an easy may to create the line needed for a pipe link.

Another question - I have my new page ready and have Saved it. It looks like a Wikipage now and all the links work. But when I search for it on Wikipedia, it's not there.

Do I have to upload it? Or just wait.

I see Upload File in the toolbox but when I mouse-over it, I read upload photos or media-files.

If I'm supposed to do something more than just Save, what am I supposed to do now?

Thanks.

[edit] article on national press

I'm a big music magazine reader so it's no problem for me to provide some article about my favourite electronic music label from national press. Tell me where on the web can I show this printed "proof" to the Wikipedia community? Last question, most of these articles are in Italian language (maybe something in French and in Japanese after the two respective Sonic Belligeranza tours) being the label based in Italy, would this be a problem? Always thanking you :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scaphandre (talk • contribs) 13:20, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: British Cemetery Elvas

Help. I just got a speedy deletion message and am told to type {{hang on}} "below the tag". I clicked below, above and in message to type hang on but no luck.

I was editing the text and suddenly I had two texts. I was told to hit Save to delete the second. I did that and got the speedy deletion message. The problem arose when I edited the original text to insert "chapter headings". That produced an edit option per chapter. When I tried to edit just the bottom chapter, something went wrong and Wikipedia was alerted.

I have not felt this stupid since kindergarten. I set up the british-cemetery-elvas.org website all by myself without a hitch. Is it me or is Wikipedia not as clear in its instructions as it could be?

Yes, I set up the British Cemetery Elvas page. I saw that Wiki produced a title and then deleted mine, which is probably where the typo was.

I need to finish changing the bottom line of the text. And I need to insert a photo. Here again, I find Wikipedia as clear as mud. I realize it's a complicated section but, having studied the image pages, I have no idea where to begin.

Is there one page with step-by-step instructions for placing a photo on a page? I'm supposed to start with tagging it, I read. But even that's not clear. I haven't found a registration page.

Thanks for your help. I will continue to study the image pages while I wait for you to have time for me.

[edit] Sonci Belligeranza article

Ok I'll re-write the article trying to add Discography and External Links that witness the notability of the label, hoping these will be ok as references. Last question, maybe a stupid one, I read on the help lines how to insert External Links and I managed to preview some of them, but I just can't add the "EXTERNAL LINKS" or "DISCOGRAPHY" headlines under which to file them. Shall I type these two myself or is there some automated way to have them out. Hope I'm being clear enough. All the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scaphandre (talk • contribs) 14:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how do I add coordinates to my wikipage?

I'd like to add coordinates and a map to my British Cemetery Page like I see on the Lochnagar Crater page. I tried to find it on the wiki instruction pages, without success.

Can you please point me in the right direction.

The coordinates are N 38 52' 59.62" W 07 09' 41.62"

Thank you.

[edit] Go figure out who is vandalising

I was just trying to apply the standardized multilingual template to the Liancourt Rocks article, which is something constructive. But you have been blindly reverting my edits. (Note that removing other people's contribution in an ill-will manner is a kind of vandalism.) You have also put three (redundant) machine-generated messages in my talk page, threatening me and accusing me of vandalising the article. Please notice that this was extremely rude, and please understand that in Wikipedia you have to respect other user's contribution. - 131.169.235.183 18:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Vandalising my own talk page?

Somehow this all slipped past me for over a month until I caught it just now, but back in July I deleted a ton of those stupid "Image Deletion" warnings from my talk page and for some reason you put them all back on there and said it was page blanking vandalism. I took care of the image problems so I got rid of all the warnings because I didn't want them cluttering up my talk page and from what I understand, what's on my talk page is my business and I can delete what I want. If you check the history I made the deletions to my own page and you reverted me. If it was mistake, then cool - if not then explain to me why I need to keep that crap on my page when it doesn't mean anything anymore. Cyberia23 07:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

The coordinates are correct. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to hearing how you did it. Sarah Strother King 08:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophical question

I happened to look for an article on black pornstar Lacey Du Valle and I saw it had been deleted. I then did more investigation to see that a multitude of porn stars were either deleted or up for deletion the reasons given were noteability. In reality since porn is a niche genre Jenna Jameson might be the only porn star that meets that standard outside of the pornographic industry. In fact the 3 of the 4 black actresses in the AVN Hall of Fame would not pass that standard. It seems to be a specific group on Wikipedia that has targeted this genre and targeted specific actresses for multiple deletions when the pages were restored. I wanted to know where do I turn to ask questions about Wikipedia's policy or view on this issue because 99% of porn stars would not pass noteability in the mainstream world. Someone like Lacey Du Valle has been considered one of the most famous and successful black pornographic stars for over a decade. In fact she might be considered the most famous black pornographic actress still making films so for her not to be a part of Wikipedia actually undermines Wikipedia's credibility in terms of its content on the subject of pornography.(TroyStewart 13:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC))

Hi, I am the creator of the REDvolution page. I never realized how comprehensive wikipedia actually is, and now I respect you all for it even more. I created this page due to the increasing frequency of which people asking what does "redvolution" mean. I figured I could put it on wikipedia and tell them to go there. REDvolution is not an organization of any kind; it is a movement by students at my university (Loyola new Orleans). Can you please help me so my page does not get deleted; I know there would be a lot of people that would go misinformed if this happened. Thanks.

An article I helped out with TDVision has been in AfD for five days now.

I worked pretty hard on it. 3dtech 20:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weak Delete

You mentioned on my talk page that there is only a weak delete against TDVision there are other people that said delete on the first day of AfD before the article was rescued and those delete comments haven't been updated. What about those? 3dtech 21:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

That's a ton. I only have about 250 or so "important" pages.   jj137 (talk) 23:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Wow. I used to watch every page I created (for basically no reason in particular), and it took me a while to clean it out. I know how obsessive it can be.   jj137 (talk) 23:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Matt Ferguson

Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I am trying to post inforamtion about our CEO on and everytime I do it, they take it down immediately. Can you explain what I have to do to get it to stay up there?? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Careersupine (talk • contribs) 19:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Khadr

Interestingly, it only took me three hours to compile all that, and turn a brief section loaded with POV language about "devastating air strikes" and failing to take into account any of the context (Khadr's role, who the Americans were, the timeline of the battle and who got injured how), into that beautiful edit I made. I'm hoping that we split off the article about USA Vs Khadr into a separate section, so that this article can keep up its focus on his life and actions, rather than the attempts to charge him which take up 75% of the article right now, leaving the actual details about him scarce and POV.

[edit] What Can I Say?

Thanks for the barnstar! Just for you to know, there's a section on my userpage where I would appreciate having users place barnstars. You'll see it in the table of contents. SchfiftyThree 01:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. I already saw it on the userpage. SchfiftyThree 01:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Max Brand Article

Hi,

I am the Max Brand website creator & manager for the heirs of Max Brand (Frederick Faust). Golden West Literary Agency (the definitive authorities on Max Brand) have been authorized to provide the Official Max Brand Biography, and have authorized me to edit Wikipedia's Max Brand article, as there were numerous errors in the previous entry.

If I have not followed exact Wikipedia protocol, please let me know & I will edit my work. The Frederick Faust Trust, Golden West, and I are all endeavoring to provide the world with an accurate biography of Max Brand.

Thank you very much.

[edit] Max Brand, Peter Brandvold articles

Okay, no problem. I'm new to Wikipedia,and was just trying to help. Before I began, I read some of the pros & cons of Wikipedia, and Wikipedia's response to the accuracy of its articles, was that the experts, or those knowledgable on a subject should contribute, in order to make the article accurate.

In fact, the Max Brand article had numerous inaccuracies, and that's why the Max Brand (Frederick Faust)Trust & Golden West contacted me to make the corrections.

But I will advise them that Wikipedia is to be left in the hands of others - and not really the difinitive experts.

This experience has enlightened, & unfortunately disapointed me as to the possible credibility of any Wikipedia article.

But, thanks for your help.

[edit] Why did you not leave a warning on Free Will

Why did you not warn the other editor (User talk:Edhubbard) who did the same? LoveMonkey (talk) 21:02, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] question

If a link appears once already in an article, should you add it again? For example:

He was tutored by Example Name. Name was also a musician.

Does the second "Name" get linked to his article? Thanks. You're a good adopter. And I was wondering: are you an administrator? Thanks again.Mm40 (talk) 02:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

And now two new questions: Ya think you can give me some pointers on how to fix my user page? And how do I make a signature book? Thanks. Mm40 (talk) 23:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

WOW, thank you a lot. Really. Now I don't hate my user page any more. Once again, thanks with that. And you can now sign my signature book. Thanks again. Mm40 (talk) 01:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching request update

You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. We're currently engaged in a program reset to help things move more smoothly in the future. If you are still interested in the program, please go to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is right for you at the Coachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you. MBisanz talk 07:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
