Template over text problem

Could someone take a look at Greater_Manchester_Police#Divisions and sort out the columns so that the third one isn't hidden behind the template? Thanks Smartse (talk) 00:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No idea how to fix it, but I removed the columns until someone who knows how comes around. decltype (talk) 00:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It's quite simple, actually. All you really have to do is substitute the {{Col-begin}} with source code and change the width from 100% to 67%. Intelligentsium 01:38, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship Request, Now what??

Hello wikipedia, i created a nomination for adminship, now what do i do. Am i suppose to wait and see if i get accepted.

This is my request for adminship page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Dwayneflanders

--Dwayneflanders 04:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwayneflanders (talk • contribs)

Instructions for starting an RfA are at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nominate. However, it's very unlikely that an editor with fewer than 500 edits will have a successful RfA. Shubinator (talk) 05:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you not transclude your nomination at all and ask for the page created to be deleted by tagging it with {{db-g7}}. The fact that you are nominating yourself for adminship without doing the necessary research to know that you have no chance whatever of passing adminship given your lack of experience, and are in fact unfit to act as an administrator for the same reason, is a good reason to question your fitness for adminship in the first place. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, not due to an assessment of your abilities as an editors, but the individuals looking at your request will see this, and likely call for a closure. Sephiroth storm (talk) 08:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above. You are not ready to be an administrator - I have explained in a bit more detail on your talk page. My advice to you would be to read the advice above and on the RfA page. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 09:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incidently, putting a message here could be construed as Canvassing, which is expressly discouraged for RfAs (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Nominate#User_notification) -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 10:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, you will definitely need to wait for a few thousand edits + experience with various Wikipedia functions (i.e. Huggle/Rollback) before you even have a slim likelyhood of being awarded adminship. I recently started an RfA, and it was closed within hours... Ojay123 ^{(Talk•E-Mail•Contribs•Sandbox)} 00:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations in the lead section

Resolved

My question is: Since the lead section of an article is meant to summarize the rest of the article, are references/citations required in the lead section? All of the information in the lead section will be supported in the article body with citations/references. Just want to know if they're needed in the lead section too.

Thanks

Australian Network Television Schedule

I'm new here and was just wondering if it was possible to create a primetime australian television schedule listing just like the american one. Just wondering? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce65 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It might work for the commercial networks. You will notice the main American commercial networks - ABC, CBS and NBC - all have schedules, while PBS doesn't. So creating schedules for Seven, Nine, and Ten might work, but not for the other ABC or SBS, because public stations don't generally have rigid weekly schedules. The folks at WikiProject Television Stations might be able to advise you further on this matter. Xenon54 / talk / 11:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations

Hi all,

I have added 2 quotations at the beginning of this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniela_Malusardi).

Is everything OK?

Is it possible to put the names of the utterers just after the quotations, and not in the references place at the end of the article??

Thank you all!! --A less 2000 (talk) 09:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it from being a blockquote to a {{quote|quotation|attribution}} format (see the code). However, I am not sure that the quote should be in the lead of the article - it would probably be better in a "critical reception" section. Incidently, may I just say well done on a new article which appears well sourced from a quick look! -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 10:07, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Phantomsteve! --A less 2000 (talk) 10:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And just a quick reminder, to link to the article on Wikipedia, use this formatting [[Daniela Malusardi]] to give this link Daniela Malusardi. – ukexpat (talk) 16:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sending Xmas Season's greetings to other users' talk page

Is it okay to do that? I just want to share the greetings of coming Christmas. Thanks.--JL 09 ^_q?_{_c} 14:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, is it December already? If it actually refers to "Christmas", you might want to be sure about who you're sending it to. "Season's Greetings" is safer if you don't know. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I think it must be season's greetings.--JL 09 ^_q?_{_c} 14:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A personal message to users with whom you have worked may be acceptable; a blanket send to a large number of users is likely to be considered spam. The least response would be the deleting of the messages and a reprimand, I think. // BL \\ (talk) 14:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, definitely restrict it to users you are friendly with, to avoid getting complaints back. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm. Okay. Thanks for the information. Cheers.--JL 09 ^_q?_{_c} 14:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And wait until at least December 1, if not later. – ukexpat (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Season's greetings or Happy New Year is the best thing to do, to avoid getting into an argument over religion.

How to check whether a link is problematic?

See Talk:First Roumanian-American congregation#Problematic link, or is it my computer?. How can one check whether a link downloads stuff that can harm your computer? Thanks. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 15:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt the New York Times is trying to infect your computer. I think a part of any FA review is checking the references, so the reviewer definitely would have noticed. If you're worried, run a virus scan; there are plenty of free ones out there. Xenon54 / talk / 15:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Xenon54 says, the NYT is unlikely to be the source of an infection! With so many references, it's a bit hard to check them all - I think you are right leaving a message on the article's talk page. If you could remember which link it was, or where it lead (which could be linked to the reference) then it'd be a lot easier to investigate - perhaps you could check your browser's history? -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 15:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. All the links to NYT articles are to nytimes.com, so that's probably OK.

Thanks for the suggestion to look at my browser history, Phantomsteve! It seems to show that at 10:30 I went to the link for "N.Y.'s Landmarks Conservancy Awards Grants to Synagogues", one of the references for the article, which I do not think was problematic, and then at 10:35 I went to a certain link I won't name directly here. It doesn't show me going to any nytimes.com pages at all. I'm guessing that I clicked on a nytimes.com link, and a hacker somehow hijacked my browser to go to their site. I did a web search for that, and found this discussion showing I'm not the only one who had that problem: [1]. I guess it's up to the New York Times to fix it. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 16:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times is aware of the problem, and say here We believe this was generated by an unauthorized advertisement and are working to prevent the problem from recurring. If you see such a warning, we suggest that you not click on it. Instead, quit and restart your Web browser.] -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 17:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taxobox

I can't fix the taxobox on Trochosa ruricola. Joe Chill (talk) 16:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of assuming that I'm a newbie, click on the article and look at the malformed taxobox. How can I fix it? Joe Chill (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the help desk gets a lot of posts from people who don't know how to edit the lead. [2] fixed it. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I played around with it using "preview". There was an extra semicolon, quotation mark and pipe displaying just before the name "Rustic wolf spider". I found that changing the regnum from "[[Animal]]ae" to "[[Animal]]ia" seemed to fix it: I have no idea why (and I assume that might be making the information less correct). However, Rkitko seems to have fixed it meanwhile. In future, when asking questions like this, it would be helpful to provide more information. It would have helped to have stated what was wrong with it (i.e. was it the extra semicolon and stuff you were concerned about?) and also to give a link to a page with correct display: I needed that for comparison, to experiment with. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My former post linked to the fix [3] by me. The regnum parameter is passed to {{Taxobox colour}} which compares it to a limited number of allowed values. There is discussion at Template talk:Taxobox colour. Pages with invalid regnum value are placed in Category:Taxoboxes with an invalid color. The category is currently hidden on the invalid version [4] but only because I hid it after making the fix. Special:Preferences has the option "Show hidden categories" under Appearance.

Unable to login due to capitalization

I am unable to login to my account, StJenna, as every time I go to the login page and type it my name, it "corrects" my username to all lowercase. So, when I hit enter, it says that username does not exist, even though I know it exists, because I can see my account on the articles I've updated (ex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Garcia_%28director%29). I know my username is case sensitive, so I'm unsure how I can log in when the field is automatically reverting that way.

Formatting

How do I change the position of images on a page? Take my user page for example. I've used the {{userboxtop}} template to move some user boxes over to the right.

To whom should I address a suggestion?

I've noticed on the Spanish Wikipedia that they have several links to several tools on a page's history page. You can click to get a list of editors, contribution details, search the history, get general statistics on an article, or check the number of visits to a page. Check out this page. The Herramientas are tools (list of editors, contribution details, and history search), the Estadísticas are statistics (general stats and number of visits). We should add this to our pages too. But to whom should I address this suggestion? ~~ Dr Dec (Talk) ~~ 18:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A possible error?

Hi,

Checking my account history brings up several entries which I am positive I have not had a hand at. For example, I received a message from a member here in Wikipedia telling me I have repeatedly blanked large sections of various articles without consensus. Not being confident in my editing skills, I have only ever done some paraphrasing and spelling corrections, yet my history clearly shows this is not the case.

Is there some sort of error here?--85.64.46.148 (talk) 18:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Today's featured picture

The page is protected from editing and I have no idea where one is supposed to go to point this out, but the text appending the photo of Gerald R. Ford is wrong. It reads, in part:

When of course it should read:

"...the Watergate scandal, which began with an attempted break-in..."

Hopefully someone here is cleared to edit the page or can forward this to the appropriate page.

Wikitable

I have created a wikitable / chart ... but it's not doing quite what I want it to do. What is the correct help page to get specific feedback? Is it this page ... or some other? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 13 September 2009)

This is the right page. You are going to have to tell us which article you're talking about. Looking at your contributions, it might be Donald Brown (running back) but that article doesn't have any tables that are screwed up. Help:Table might answer your question, otherwise please ask here. Xenon54 / talk / 22:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks. Please see the second chart (Testing new chart #1: Revised) on this page: Talk:Donald Brown (running back). Here are my 2 questions. (1) How do I make the words "Rushing" and "Receiving" in the top row become centered across their respective 4-column spaces? (2) How can I get the word "Year" in only one box and also be centered? In other words, take BOTH boxes that currently say "Year" ... and make them become only one bigger box that is "taller". In other words, take the current two boxes that say "Year" and just make them all one larger box? If possible, I would like the word "Year" centered (both vertically and horizontally) in the new larger (2-row) box. Thank you. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 13 September 2009)

I believe I've fixed the chart at Talk:Donald Brown (running back)#Revised.

It looks like you already figured out that yourself by adding "colspan".
I fixed "Year" like you requested, using "rowspan".

You can learn more about using both of these at Help:Table#Combined use of COLSPAN and ROWSPAN. hmwith☮ 22:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. You did indeed help me solve problem number 2. But not problem number 1. Regarding problem number 1 ... I was able to use "colspan" to get the words Receiving and Rushing in the correct cells. But -- what I was struggling with -- was getting the words to be "centered" within the 4-column span. In other words, right now, it says: "Receiving - blank space - blank space - blank space - blank space - etc." What I would like it to say is: "blank space - blank space - blank space - blank space - Receiving - blank space - blank space - blank space - blank space" (so that it the word is in the center of the 4-column span). This would be similar to the way that the word Redshirted appears in the (original) Chart directly on top of this (revised) Chart on that Talk Page. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 14 September 2009)

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer? It showed up fine (centered) when I viewed it originally in Firefox. It also shows up fine in Chrome. However, when I tried it in IE, it showed up on the left. I'm afraid that it won't center in IE for some reason; IE has a lot of similar issues. I'd recommend an upgrade to another browser, such as Firefox. Then, you won't have so many problems with pages showing up oddly on Wikipedia or otherwise. hmwith☮ 01:51, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You must be logged in to create a page. If you have not already, why not register? It's free, easy, and requires no personal information. Otherwise, you can submit it for review at WP:AfC, but this may take several hours, if not days. Intelligentsium 23:15, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
