Helpme

I get an error message when I attempt to upload a picture to Marbled polecat page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbled_polecat)

Upload warning: "." is not a recommended image file format.

This is what I submit:

Source filename:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Vormela peregusna.jpg

Destination filename:  
Marbled_polecat

Any help in fixing this would be much appreciated.

Hi! The destination file name needs a file type. So,

Destination filename: Marbled_polecat

should be

Destination filename: Marbled_polecat.jpg

Also, I'm not sure that owner of that image allows anyone to use it for any purpose, but hopefully you know for sure.--Commander Keane 18:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Polecat helpme

I changed the title of the 'Polecat' page to 'European polecat' after searching the wiki to make sure that page did not already exist. I changed the page name since, according to the taxonomy box and the majority of the article, the page topic is the European polecat, while the term 'polecat' is a general term used in the common name of many mustelid species.

I see there are many dire warnings of being responsible for checking for double-redirects. When I go to the 'what links here' page I am not sure how to tell what on the list is a double redirect so I can fix it. How do I tell if something is a double redirect?

At this point I am almost regreting steping in to this mess since I see that people have linked the general term polecat to the polecat page which is focused on the European polecat rather then the term 'polecat' in general. Oh well!

Thank you in advance for your help with the double redirects. wagors 19:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the move was good, don't worry about any mess - it will be fine soon. The double redirects can be seen at Special:Whatlinkshere/European_polecat. Double redirects are the ones that are second level bullet points. For example:

• Polecat (redirect page)
  • List of collective nouns for non-human mammals
  • Mustelidae
  • European Polecat (redirect page)
    • Weasel
    • Ferret
    • List of placental mammals
    • Fisher (animal)

In this case, European Polecat (redirect page) is a double redirect. You visit it, and chang its redirect to #REDIRECT [[European polecat]] instead of the incorrect #REDIRECT [[Polecat]]. When fixing double redirects you never actually edit an article, just redirects. Also, even if you forget, a bot will fix them up in a day or so. So, now you can fix the double redirects (or just ask me to)--Commander Keane 19:58, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Another Entity

² and ³ are special Wikipedia character entities for writing km² or m³ I fixed the article. The other superscript mechanism annoys people because it causes many browsers to elevate text into the ink above. MaxEnt 16:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
