Picture on commons, how do I get it to the article

I have a picture, public domain, uploaded to commons (Colorado & Southern 890) that I want to display in the article "General Electric U30C locomotive).

I see that in editing it has the format image.jpg but I can't get it displayed in the article.

I've also tried to drag and drop but that doesn't work.

Pleas help

Speedy deletion

I do not understand your thinking. If you look on Amazon, B&N, other book sites around the world, you will see my novels. You can also Google my name and see the lectures and signings I perform. I will abide by the rules, but I would like them clarified a little more. Thank you.

Sir Tristram

I've removed the CSD tag, the criteria you added was simply ridiculous. Any image could be tagged that you don't believe the uploader owns the copyright. Unless you have evidence of a copyright violation the CSD criteria clearly do not apply. Please note raised this at AN/I hereJustin talk 21:10, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I took it to AN/I more to log my actions in removing the CSD tag than any attempt at censuring you. I notified you of the thread as a courtesy. There was not intention to upset you and if I have I apologise. Peace? Justin talk 21:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries, text is a poor medium for conveying intentions, you don't have the full understanding of communication without the body language to accompany it. Misunderstanding are all too easy. As Spike Milligan used to say, love, light, peace. Justin talk 21:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Response on SPAM

I've looked at the response you gave to me including http://benrandall.co.uk/bridging_loan_finance_guide.aspx as a reference and I wanted to confirm that if I make the information into a PDF document or edit the web page above to include no adverts or offers of service it would be acceptable? - I'm half way through creating the additional entries of 'Open Bridging Finance' and 'Closed Bridging Finance' (it's taken me ages!) and don't want my efforts to be for nothing by my references being classed as SPAM.

I felt the content of the above web page included information that was more accurate and up to date than the actual 'Bridge Loan' entry. Please can you confirm the restrictions I should apply so I can have an entry created that will remain and not even be remotely associated with SPAM

Thanks in advance

BTL-GURU (talk) 21:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply - I'll go through the information you've provided and hopefully my efforts wont be in vain! Regards BTL-GURU (talk) 23:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

piped wikilinks on disambiguation pages...

I have asked another contributor to the Shahzada page to note what Wikipedia:Disambiguation has to say about piped wikilinks:

"Do not pipe disambiguation links. Showing the entire linked article title avoids confusion, which is the reason for the link in the first place."

Your revision also employs a piped wikilink.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with him. I don't believe above statement in regard to pipe disambiguation does necessarily refer to your revision. Don't you think? I would appreciate if you clarify it. I believe that the word Shahzada should be linked to its subpage as it is linked. Kind regards Parvazbato59 (talk) 03:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Societas Rosicruciana

Hi, you were involved, slightly, in this one before, so I'd like to ask your help in explaining the problem to User:Knightpriest: This user keeps trying to add information on a group without any third party references, making me question its notability/existence, outside of the minds of its own members. Here he tried to add reference material to cite the creation of the group in 2008, from material published in 1987. Additionally he states: I cannot provide references or documentary evidence to back up our existence, as there are none unless you can take my word for it.--Vidkun (talk) 14:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Assistance

Hi, would you take a look at this. Thanks Parvazbato59 (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually it seems that the result of my AFD nomination is "redirect" and shahzada has already been redirected. So I think this is better and I would like it to remain as a redirect. Regards Parvazbato59 (talk) 01:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Ukexpat

Thanks for your note. I'm still trying to work out how to create an article. I've got one 'set up' for John Frederick France which I prepared yesterday and I didn't know how to get it from my user page into live Wikipedia. However today I searched for the same article and it came back with no article existing. So I clicked on the red text and it steered me into editing an article of the same name. I've now copied in my Wikipedia text and saved it. Will this be enough to create my article? Is this the way to do it? Jackross (talk) 15:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

John Frederick France

Hi Ukexpat Thanks for the help - it looks good so far. I've added a couple of words and an external link to clarify the sources a bit. I'll need to return and tidy up the external links a tad. The RCS Archive information was sent to me directly from them, so, difficult to quote anything different. Thanks again. Jackross (talk) 17:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Heads up

You're being discussed here, in regards to that Sheree Silver articles for deletion. The creator, Spring12, seems bound and determined to belittle and discount anyone who voted delete. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

New article 'John Frederick France'

Thanks Ukexpat for tidying up the article a bit which has helped me understand a few other formatting tools. I've also looked at the format for the Notes and I've added External Links. Is this article acceptable now or is there more work to do? How do I confirm if this is a 'notable' entry or not? The individual concerned was an eminent Ophthalmic Surgeon at Guys. Let me know if there's anything else to do, so I know what I'm doing next time. I have a number of new articles to submit regarding a famous family of Cabinet Makers and I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time. Many Thanks again. Jackross (talk) 13:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Gerald N. Epstein

Ukexpat -- Yesterday, I tried to place my original entry on Gerald Epstein with an extensive revision (in organization, content, tone, and style), now headed "Gerald N. Epstein." But it doesn't seem to be turning up. Can you tell me what I didn't to in order for the change to take place? Many thanks. David Hollidays (talk) 13:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Edit tab missing

The edit tab is missing in the beginning section of my article Harry Dennis (musician). The picture is where the edit tab used to be. I want the picture to remain, but I need an edit tab to access that section. Help please. --DA01 03:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DA01 (talk • contribs)

Gerald N. Epstein Again

Once more, thanks for your help. I will work on wikilinks later today. Yes, please tell me how to make the title of the entry Gerald N. Epstein. David Hollidays (talk) 12:59, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Moving Gerald N. Epstein

Thanks for WP:Move, which I see doesn't seem to give up it's secrets at first glance. Meanwhile, a simpler question, I hope: How do I create a pipe? I don't see one on my computer, and so far as I can tell neither "i" nor "l" can be converted into one. David Hollidays (talk) 18:51, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Edits not saved

The changes I made to the Coca-Cola Enterprises page did not save. What happened? --SNHennessy (talk) 20:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Moving Gerald N. Epstein

Yes, Ukexpat, I'd appreciate your moving the new head, so that this particular Gerald Epstein is not confused with the several others that are around. Yes, too, on the pipe. The shifted slash is one possibility I didn't try. Thanks again. I'll finish my wikilinks today. David Hollidays (talk) 12:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Moving Gerald Epstein

Yes, you make perfect sense. Let's let "Gerald Epstein" be, on the basis that his name as it appears in all his books does not contain an "N." -- Incidentally, I tried to redirect "phenomenological" in the Asthma subsection of Research to "phenomenology(psychology)" but "phenomenological" came up red, even though a search for phenomenological brings you to phenomenology, which contains "phenomenology(psychology)." Then I rewrote the sentence using the word "phenomenology" and tried to redirect it to "phenomenology(psychology)," but this time "phenomenology" turned up red -- though there is a phenomenology page. Am I missing some subtlety? David Hollidays (talk) 19:37, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Piped links + layout

Thanks for showing me how to format a piped link. I followed the model and succeeded in providing a link for "free association." One more question: Can you tell me what needs to be improved in the layout? I looked at the page on layout but couldn't see the aspect relevant to my layout. As the saying goes, God is in the details, and I seem regularly to overlook the applicable detail! David Hollidays (talk) 14:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics

Hello and thanks for removing the tags at the top of the article. Based on my note on the editor assistance page, did you look at the revised version of the article on my user subpage? I found what I consider to be more credible references and also added some information on notable patients, each with verifiable references included.

I'm pleased the article as it stands right now is clear of all tags, however, I want to make the revisions/additions to the article as shown on my user subpage. Would this result in being re-tagged? I'd like to make these few changes/additions and be done with it at last. --WBancroft (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
