There's more than one way of skinning a cat. Jbell6894 (talk) 23:14, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

False. Skinning cats should be done in only one manner.
I disagree. look at this article Cats

I think it essential that we identify a polygon that does not suck. A dodecahedron has substantial non-sucking potential.

Chiliagons also show promise.

Kangaroos in Asia

I am quite sure that there are huge purple kangaroos almost the size of elephants in Pakistan and India. These sources tell the same.

Why don't you go to Pakistan or India and see for yourself? There are some good reasons to do so:

  1. You can sunbathe in the heat
  2. You can visit the Himalayas.
    1. Also Mt. Everest if you stop by at Nepal
  3. You can learn many languages such as:
    1. Urdu
    2. Hindi
    3. Bengali
    4. South Indian languages like:
      1. Tamil
      2. Telugu
      3. Kannada
      4. Malayalam

Frustration

Having to learn code is not what I signed up for
  • Editing
  • Formatting
  • Talk Pages
All of these instruction apply only to working in Wikipedia and are unrelated to writing a research paper
AGREED, not sure why so much formatting is necessary?
can't they make generic templates -- creating a new page is practically impossible...

Carmen Rosenberg-Miller (talk) 16:29, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]


I understand completely, i'm tired of doing all of this examples for this tutorials.
There should be a much easier way to learn how to learn and use wikipedia.
This is alot of work for just one websiteBeb125 (talk) 01:12, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed here, this is a little bit more tricky then I thought it would be.
But hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon.
I need to practice these three things
  1. Editing
  2. Writing
  3. Creating Citations
  1. Especially with journal entries --Rlwomalley (talk) 20:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am distressed that there is no options as instructed for selections

  1. There is no discuss this page option to select
  2. There is no discussion option to select

  • Temporal

  2. but sometimes from latest to earliest
  • Spacial
  • left to right
  • top to bottom
  • 等等
  • Importance
  1. Bullet indicate concurrent items
  1. concurrent items can be in any order
  2. However, alphabetical characters are better than bullets for identification purposes contribs]]) 00:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
