Hey Marek can you take a look at the image File:Te.jpg from the Wikimedia Commons. Somebody seems to have hacked the image, how can I bring the previous back? Thankyou.

== Duplicated topics ==

Hi Marek, when I first editted in Wikipedia last year, you sent me a wellcome mesage along with cookies and promised to help me. Thank you.  Now I have a question, not a personal one but a qustion about the rules. I came accross a group of newly created articles about certain historical people. But these topics already exist in Wikipedia. The knack is that the creator of the original articles have used English characters for the titles and the creator of the newly created articles has used a non English character. (ş insterad of sh) The articles are not mergable. Because while the older articles are several kilobytes long, the newly created articles are just one sentence articles; (name, and dates only) I warned the contributor, but no action up to now. [[User talk:Starzynka#Already created articles|(See the talk page)]] What should I do ? Have a nice day.

Actually I tagged them by db-a10 and 6 of them were delated and 2 were redirected. But the problem is that there are too many such articles and I can't browse each one. Probably I missed more than I catched.  Sincerely. [[User:Nedim Ardoğa|Nedim Ardoğa]] ([[User talk:Nedim Ardoğa|talk]]) 13:47, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== HELP! ==


Hello, I am Yafehmeod and I am new to Wikipedia.  I had some questions:

1. How do I discuss issues with a large crowd of Wikipedians?

2. How can I change my username.

3. Is it possible to IM wikipedians?

Thanks,
Yafehmeod  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Yafehmeod|Yafehmeod]] ([[User talk:Yafehmeod|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Yafehmeod|contribs]]) 22:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


:Hi Yafehmeod, thank you for your message and welcome to Wikipedia,

:1. How do I discuss issues with a large crowd of Wikipedians?
::You can start a discussion on your talk page (or the talk page of the article, if its about that article)
::Then you can invite people individually to participate

:2. How can I change my username.
::Instructions can be found on this page: [[Wikipedia:Changing username]]

:3. Is it possible to IM wikipedians?
::Yes, if they give you there IM contact details
::Alternatively you can email a Wikipedian privately, by using this format: '''<nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/</nowiki>'''''insert username''

:I hope this information helps...

==Possible name change==
I might need to change my username as I am being stalked by someone on the internet. Nothing has happened as of yet, but if it does, is there a way to block people on here? I was stupid enough to use my own name. I see there is a username change above, perhaps I might use that. Also how do you get an anti-vandalism box like above? [[User:Meg E. McGath|Meg E.

==Algernon Capell, 2nd Earl of Essex==
There is a person who I had been having a discussion on the Tudors Wiki about her supposed ancestor Thomas. She says that he is a son of the 2nd Earl of Essex and Mary Bentinck. I have checked multiple sources.. and they all confirm that there is no Thomas that was a son of this couple. She will not stop putting this person back up on the real wiki page. Is there a way to stop this from happening. I know who she is.. she tried putting him up with no source and now she tried putting up a real source but obviously she doesn't know what she's doing and messed up all my work from yesterday. Her name is misserma -- this is just getting out of hand as she will continue to put it back up time and time again. I have links to online sources... she does not. I have over 4 or 5 sources here saying NO Thomas! Help! [[User:Meg E. McGath|Meg E. McGath]] ([[User talk:Meg E. McGath|talk]]) 20:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

== Editor Trends Study ==

Hey Marek69.  I'm not sure if you've been this, but I wanted to make you aware of the [http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Trends_Study Editor Trends Study].  This is a study that the Foundation is supporting to get a better understanding of editor patterns and how they've evolved over the past several years.  One of the goals is to help us better understand New Wikipedians (i.e., editors that have completed 10 cumulative edits) and how their likelihood of staying vs. leaving changes over time.  The first of analysis is very similar to what WereSpielChequers's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2010-08-09/Admin_stats|admin analysis]].  It would be great to get your thoughts on the study!

Hey Marek there is this vandal Attilios deleting the whole article every day. he's also been insulting me on my discussion page for ages. Can you please take a look and take measures. I've had enough now. Thank you !!

[[User:DDF19483|DDF19483]] ([[User talk:DDF19483|talk]]) 09:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

:Hi DDF, thank you for your message.
:This is a difficult situation. I can fully understand your frustration, but it is very important that you don't bite and end up edit warring with this person.
:There are often differences of opinion on Wikipedia. Most of the time, with a bit of effort, these can be resolved amicably. I've taken a quick look and I can't immediately see that one person is 'right' and the other is 'wrong'. It appears to be a bit more complicated.
:I will need a bit more time to go through all the edits to see what is going on. Meanwhile, my advice to you would be to take a 'step back' and not to edit the article for a while.
:I will try to look into the history and come back to you as soon as I can.

That's indeed what I decided to do. I'll just take a break. I've explained several times to this user that the purpose of wikipedia is cooperation and community and not deletion. I accept changes but deleting the whole thing and the work of regular users like you and me is just rude and disrespectful... let us not speak of the swear words in Italian on my talk page...
Thank you Marek !

:Notice how this user blaming me for lack of "cooperation" is the one who deleted from his talk page all my invitations to stop reverting to his semi-illiterate article. Fortunately he's over now, at least for a bit (perhaps for lack of arguments for hsi cause).
