I did not know where to post a thank you so it ends up here. I just wanted to thank all the people, educators, those with in depth knowledge of various subjects posted to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has helped me in my college classes. For those who post factual, accurate information, all I can say is, it is very good of you to submit accurate information. We who use the information appreciate it very much. A thank you to founder Jim Wales for starting Wikipedia. Again, Thank you to everyone who puts forth accurate information for use, may only good things come your way!!! |

== How many hotel rooms in this city ? == |
|||
I was having a discussion with some friends and we wanted to know how many hotels rooms there are in cities around the world. This was a topic of some discussion, so admittedly we first went to Goggle, but alas no result, no matter what we did. |
|||
Then we thought Wikipedia, but to our disappointment same empty feeling, no results. Please assist with this information, even it this only pricks your interest slighly. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/210.49.170.32|210.49.170.32]] ([[User talk:210.49.170.32|talk]]) 09:46, 6 January 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Hi Leon, |
|||
:Your question is best addressed by an actual library reference desk, not the "Talk" page here which is meant for a discussion about this specific Wikipedia article. You can visit your local public library or the [http://www.ipl.org/div/askus/ Internet Public Library] to get an answer to your question.

Hi, I am seeking a verification of a quote. I think it may be from the childrens' book |

|||
Can you help me find out where this quote is from, please? |

The goal is not to be perfect but to have the ability to cope effectively with the challenge. |

Dear Wiki Reference Desk, |

Hello! I have added a paragraph (and probably more edits to come) in the History section to bring the history reference desk up to present-day. It was copied and pasted from my sandbox. [[User:MCL7675/sandbox]] [[User:MCL7675|MCL7675]] ([[User talk:MCL7675|talk]]) 15:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |

I have access to this account, but on my mobile device I have access to my new account. I tried retain the password through the setup protocols, but the server is sending a message that the email is not correct. My email is sctinker@gmail.com. I created this account along time ago while using a substance. I did not know I had to accounts on the wiki servers. I apologize to everyone for taking up server space, and once I regain access to my other account this account should be erased. I have a set routine of passwords but all have seemed to fail. By the way, the captcha encryption is VERY hard to read as you attempt to retain passwords. I know that's probably a fail safe, and thank you for placing it there, but some eyes are not good as others. I recommend a new form of captcha encryption if possible. In my eyes, even allow verifying through SMS message through other forms of telecommunications. Any assistance would be appreciated. I love every member on here for there hard work on this collective server site. Keep up the hard work, but dont work too hard. ONE LOVE, bless you, Have a wonderful day. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sctinker37|Sctinker37]] ([[User talk:Sctinker37|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sctinker37|contribs]]) 23:03, 1 March 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
