Play The Wikipedia Adventure

Glad you're advertizing the wikipedia adventure, but this isn't the right place to do it. the correct place would probably be your profile. Valehd (talk) 18:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just dropping by

Good morning! My name is Ceannlann gorm, and I'm a recent addition to the editor hordes here on Wikipedia. My interests include strategy games & RPGs*, aerospace/spaceflight, robotics, and Military History & Technology. So far I've gotten a great welcome in the 4 days or so that I've been a member (long time lurker/hit & run anon editor before that), thanks very much for that. See ye around!

(*Though I have been known to play the odd game of Team Fortress/TF2 among other things...)

Adding a picture to a page

Do you happen to know how to add an image to a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OfficialJeffMartin (talk • contribs) 19:30, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Idea

I am not sure but somebody would have already asked it.
Can there something be done to Teahouse so that unanswered questions have some notice (either in bold or a tag on it like {{unanswered}}) for those questions which has not been answered yet?
Sometimes, I see some user's question goes down (under other questions:) and other were actually answered quickly but not his/her

Personal Draft Persistence?

I've poked around a little regarding drafts. I know that I have a userspace if I want to start fiddling around with an article. I intend to create a draft so I can experiment safely with layouts, etc, but I couldn't figure out if a Draft in my userspace will persist indefinitely (so I'll always have it as a personal reference). I know that I can have a userspace draft deleted purposefully, but so long as I don't mark it for deletion, will it remain forever?Heterodidact (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
