factualy error

There is a factual error on the seventh day adventists wiki page in the first para and wiki says to change it ourselves which i do and it keeps reverting back to original scripting which is incorrect . and references were even provided.

It is NOT a christian denomination. To be a christian denomination one must MUST recognise and teach that Jesus is the Lord God almighty. They state he wasnt.

I keep changing it to the facts so who keeps reverting it to what is incorrect?

They currently say in the opening paragraph- "is a Christian denomination which is distinguished by its observance of Saturday,[4] the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath, and by its emphasis on the imminent second coming (Advent) of Jesus Christ. The denomination grew out of the Millerite movement ..."

and the correct wording and the facts are- (references provided and the first point was stated and written by the founder Ellen herself in her teachings)

"is a Religion which began in the mid 1800's and is distinguished by five major points. The first that (quote) 'The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God almighty'. Ellen G.White (1903, ms 150, SDA Commentary V.p 1129). The second that Jesus used to be Michael the arch angel. . And the last three points, that to be saved, Seventh Day Adventism teaches 1. the need to keep the sabbath on a Saturday, the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath; 2. the necessity to be baptised (fully immersed in water); and 3. the need for an ongoing life of obedient discipleship. , and without these three things a person cannot be saved.

You may or may not have a point, I have no opinion on that. But do not repeatedly add the same text (see Wikipedia:Edit warring). Instead, start a discussion on the article's "talk page" (click the "discussion" tab at the top of the page when you are viewing the article) and explain your position, then engage in a discussion with other editors to arrive at a consensus solution (see Wikipedia:Consensus.

Master Dana Wong article deleted

There was an article regarding Sifu Dana Wong and now it has vanished.

Neither Dana or his students know why it has been removed.

The article's entry in the logs states:

• 18:39, 23 February 2011 Nakon (talk | contribs) deleted "Dana Wong" ‎ (Expired PROD)

Nakon is an admin here at Wikipedia and PROD is a tag that is put on articles that don't necessarily meet the notability (or some other) guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia. To have an article here, a person must first be notable and that notability must be explained in the article. If a PROD tag remains on the article for seven days without any improvement to the article or without someone removing it (and contending that the article should be kept), the article is then deleted. Our notability guidelines can be found at WP:N. Dismas|^(talk) 05:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The article was deleted back in February because the article did not establish, through the use of reliable sources that the subject met the minimum standards for having an article about them (see Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people) for more details about what those minimum standards are). If you believe this was done in error, you can register an account and then request that the article be placed in your account's userspace as a draft version. This would not be counted as an article, and you would be expected to be working on the article to establish the subject's notability. Also, please note that not every person in the world will meet Wikipedia's minimum standards, it is possible that the subject of this article is one of those people. I have no idea one way or the other, and take no position on that. --Jayron32 06:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Pictorial Illustrations

How do I insert illustrations in .jpg file format into a contribution? Kendrick Pereira (talk) 06:10, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

1. See Wikipedia:Image use policy first to understand what sorts of images are acceptable for use at Wikipedia (in simplest terms, we only want images that YOU created YOURSELF, and which you own the rights to, and which you are willing to liscence to Wikipedia under terms compatible with Wikipedia's own lisence)
2. See Wikipedia:Uploading images for help in uploading an image (or you can use the Image Uploading Wizard by clicking the "upload file" link in the "Toolbox" on the left of your screen)
3. See Wikipedia:Picture tutorial for help in adding an uploaded image to a Wikipedia article.

All of this depends on you being an "autoconfirmed user". Becoming autoconfirmed happens automatically once your account is 4 days old and has at least 10 contributions in its history. --Jayron32 06:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

The part about being an autoconfirmed user is not quite accurate. It is true that you need to be autoconfirmed to upload here on Wikipedia, but if the image is free licensed, you can and should upload on Wikimedia Commons, where there is no need to be autoconfirmed. —teb728 t c 07:02, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review

I am pretty sure this does not go here, but the links brought me here.

English words with uncommon properties was recently quickly deleted and I would like to give my opinion, hopefully in order to reopen the debate which flew past me despite the fact that in the past year I have given the article considerable attention to sort it out (but not as much as it deserved it seems). Basically, it was an article that had been around for many years and received around 1,000 viewers a day (which is substantial) and had a great deal of edits. The problems with the article are that the topic of the article, being about peculiarities the English language, can be seen as partially subjective or based on pedantic dictionary definitions (e.g. the semi-consonant nature of the letter "w"), that the article kept getting too long and that IP users, often in good-faith, would very often add sections and opinions. I would like the debate to be reopened and I would like to propose that instead of deletion an active act of improvement be taken. --Squidonius (talk) 09:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

For security reasons, the page is not visible from Wikipedia, but can be seen in Google cache of the page. The deletion discussion is here --Squidonius (talk) 09:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Article Publication and Third-Party Verification

Hello,

The article for Fordham University's Center for Ethics Education has not been approved, and I am unsure as to the specific reasons why. The editor's comments were as follows:

"we are sorry, but we cannot accept unsourced suggestions or sources that are not reliable per the verifiability policy. Please cite reliable, third-party sources with your suggestions. Third party sources are needed so the information can be verified and to establish the notability of the topic."

Would it be possible to point to the specific areas of the article where this occurs? The Center's third party sources are verified through Fordham University and other notable resources as per the external links provided.

Thank you,

Center for Ethics Education — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cfisher2 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

This is a discussion which should happen on the talk page of the article in question. Please click the "discussion tab" at the top of the screen when you are viewing the article where your edits are contested, and start a discussion with the users who disagree with you there. --Jayron32 17:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

(ec) The University is not a 3rd party source. See Wikipedia:Third-party sources. Anything besides the University website and anything related would be a 3rd party source, such as magazines, books, newspapers independent of the University. CTJF83 17:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Fordham is not a third party. We need verifiable citations to independent, third-party reliable sources. Since this article by your own admission is being written by somebody at the CEE, it will probably be rejected anyway, since you have such a major conflict of interest. If the Center is actually notable, somebody who does not have a conflict of interest (does the CEE not have any course on or interest in the idea that conflicts of interest are to be avoided?) will write about it someday. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Articles must contain citations to reliable sources as explained in the WP:Citing sources guideline. The citations must be to specific published sources, not a vague allusion to an organization. In the case of large sources like books, page numbers or the equivalent should be given.

Wikipedia is not a place to advertise, and articles should not read like advertisements. Also, an article about an organization must cite sources with no affiliation that demonstrate the organization is notable.

Finally, the Wikipedia user name policy requires that accounts be controlled by a single individual, whether the individual prefers to use his/her real name, or a pseudonym. Accounts controlled by an organization, or that reflect the name of an organization, are not allowed. Although the policy does not specifically mention making ones signature appear in talk pages as if one were writing on behalf of the organization, it's likely that would be viewed as not in the spirit of the user name policy.

adding Bangla language

Dear Sir, We will be please if you add Bengali in Wikipedia. We don't understand why we are being ignored in the international community. We fought for our country, we fought for our own language. We are the one and the only nation who gave Bangla as a mother language in our country. The whole world will have no other example except for Bangladesh. We know we are Low Developed Country, but we expect to be Medium Developed Country within 2015 with the help of several strong nations worldwide. It hurts me when I see our language has no respect throughout the world. At least I request you to add our language Bangla(Bengali) in your website as well as many other websites in the whole world.

Thank you.

Picture rotation problem

I've added pictures to a couple of articles in the last few days. On Commons the pictures are oriented correctly. However, when I add them to the articles Bussy, Fribourg and Cheiry, they are rotated 90 degs. I haven't been able to figure out what is causing this. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I downloaded File:Saint-Maurice Bussy May 2011.jpg, rotated it to the correct orientation, brightened it a little and re-uploaded it to Commons and it looks OK now in the article. I suspect that Wikipedia does not support auto-rotation of images, so the fix is to rotate the images before uploading them. – ukexpat (talk) 21:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Problem with Redir Page

Hi. I'm looking for help with a problem involving the National Ignition Facility (NIF) page (http://en/wikipedia.ord/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility) and its corresponding redir page. The problem is that the redir page, which has a lower case "i" and a lower case "f" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ignition_facility) does not always redirect to the correct page (upper case "I" and upper case "F"). Also, the redir page does not reflect recent edits. When I attempt to edit the redir page, it converts to the correct page as soon as I log on, so the redir is no longer available for editing. I have cleared the cache on my computer and also several others, but the problem persists. I have also tried multiple browsers, but the problem occures intermittently with all browsers. This is a concern because visitors who land on the redir page are unaware it's not the official page. This could reflect poorly on Wikipedia because some visitors to the NIF article are being exposed to old and inaccurate information. Would it be possible to take down the incorrect redir page? Alternatively, is there a way to edit/update the redir page so that it always reflects all changes? Or is it possible to fix the redir function to consistently and automatically convert to the official page? Thanks for your help.JacksIrving (talk) 00:41, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

A redirect automatically shows the content of the target page but due to caching, an older version of the target page is sometimes displayed, especially to users who are not logged in. Are you logged in when you see the old version? PrimeHunter (talk) 00:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) National ignition facility is simply a redirect to National Ignition Facility. It doesn't have any independent content. Where (and when) are you seeing a version different from the current content of National Ignition Facility? The latter page hasn't changed for more than a week. You shouldn't see anything different from the current version unless you've got an old version cached. - David Biddulph (talk) 00:54, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

For redirects, our servers sometimes display quite old versions to unregistered users. More than a week wouldn't surprise me. See bugzilla:29552. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:30, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for all your input. To answer your questions and further clarify – I have cleared the cache on all browsers. I see the incorrect redir page on Firefox and Chrome when I am not logged in. (When I log in it redirects to the proper page.) This is a concern because a large number of people who see the article are unregistered visitors and are exposed to old and inaccurate information. For example, the section “Criticisms” was removed on 10/25/11. It still appears on the redir page when using Firefox and Chrome. Since this edit was made about two weeks ago, it should no longer appear on the redir page with any browser. How can we fix?JacksIrving (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Whether you see an old version can depend on which of our servers you happen to get served by. I didn't see an old version yesterday when I logged out, and I don't today. I have now purged the redirect. Do you still see an old version? PrimeHunter (talk) 01:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I've tried it a couple of times with different computers & different browsers -- old versions are gone -- thank you! JacksIrving (talk) 02:03, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

(I have removed your email address to protect your privacy) The Wikipedia content guideline on external links is much stricter than many editors realise, and your links probably don't qualify. You should also look at the guidelines on conflict of interest, since you are intending to post links to films that you have made yourself.

Markup query

This is such a minor niggle that it's almost not worth bothering with... however:

The markup in my current sig displays the links to my talkpage and contribs as two Chinese characters (雲 "yun" and 水 "shui"). The current markup is [[User:Yunshui|Yunshui]] '''[[User talk:Yunshui|雲]][[Special:Contributions/Yunshui|水]]'''. I'd prefer the whole construction to display on one line, so I've affixed the first character to my username with a non-breaking space, but what I'd really like to do is affix them to each other in the same way - without a space appearing between the two characters in the resulting sig. In other words, I want a version of   that doesn't create a visible space. Anyone know of a way to do that?

Like I said, it's pretty minor... Yunshui 雲水 11:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

How about

{{nowrap|[[User:Yunshui|Yunshui]] '''[[User talk:Yunshui|雲]][[Special:Contributions/Yunshui|水]]'''}}

Can you link me to the image, and I can give you the most idiot proof steps. CTJF83 17:29, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

• If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must determine the proper license of the image (or whether it is in the public domain). If you know the image is public domain or copyrighted but under a suitable free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image (sign up). If you are unsure of the licensing status, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy.
• If you want to add an image that has already been uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, add [[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text.]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information. I hope this helps.Template:Z40--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

united baseball league

The Wikipedia article concerning the United Baseball League is filled with prejudicial and harmful statements.When I try and delete them ,my work is reversed and I get a warning.The instructions on how to deal with this are very cumbersome and confusing.Please take the time to read the article.It will be obvious that it is written by someone who has an axe to grind and is trying to harm the league.If the goal of Wikipedia is accuracy,then my edits should stand.Moeknowsgolf (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

nonconstructive editing

HI,

I'm received an email about my editing and I am confused about it's content. I'm new to wiki. I've made minor edits to an organization's page for which I work. I'm unclear as to what "nonconstructive editing" means... have my changes been revoked?

Thanks!

If the email was sent to your email account from a Wikipedia user, it should note which user sent it in the email. Simple go to the Wikipedia page titled "User talk:XXXX" replacing XXXX with the name of the user who sent you the email, and ask them for clarirification about their email. --Jayron32 20:54, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

If by "email" you are referring to the message on you user talk page, another user noticed that you had made this edit experimenting with galleries, assumed that all your edits were experimental, and so reverted all of them. —teb728 t c 21:14, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

moving a wikipedia page

I'm the administrator for the wikipedia page "Association of Water Technologies". I want to change the title for the page to "Association of Water Technologies - AWT".

Nobody owns an article. Only autoconfirmed users can move pages. However, Wikipedia does not use both the full name and an acronym in article names so the page should not be moved. I have added a link to AWT so people can find the article by entering AWT in the search box. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:13, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Do I infer correctly from your username that you represent Management Solutions Plus, the management company of Association of Water Technologies? You need to know that unambiguous use of the name of a company as a username is generally not permitted on Wikipedia. You should change to a username that represents you personally. And because of your conflict of interest you should edit articles about clients only with great caution. —teb728 t c 22:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

A Simple Suggestion (or two)

Yesterday I was very happy and honored to be able to afford to contribute $100.00 to your fund raising program. Thank you for making it so easy. Now I must get back to studying. Would it be terribly hard for someone to write a simple program telling Wiki that it is rude to continue asking those whose computers have been the means of benefitting Wiki for more contributions? There must be some way to do this. Good luck! P.S.--Earlier I was exploring Editting. I jumped into the sandbox and someone else--or at least part of someone else was already there; a penis. Great photo--tacky presentation! In this economy is classy help really difficult to find? Really? Lyndiq (talk) 00:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your donation. I don't know whether it's only for logged in users but see Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#How to hide all fundraising banners on all Wikimedia wikis until next year. Everybody can edit public sandboxes like Wikipedia:Sandbox. Edits there are quickly overwritten by other users. Another user must have added a penis image shortly before you viewed the page. You can make a personal sandbox for your account at User:Lyndiq/Sandbox. Others can see it but are unlikely to edit it although it's not impossible. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:57, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Where do I go to have an article rated?

Hi. There are a couple of articles that I am working to improve, and it would greatly help me to have a current rating for them. I am aware of the rating scale, and I know I could re-rate the pages myself. However, I often am not sure which rating an article falls into, and I sometimes end up with a falsely inflated rating when I rate pages myself. Where can I go to have the articles I am working to improve rated/criticized? - Purplewowies (talk) 02:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

To rate an article you have to scroll to the bottom of the article and there will be a rating section there. You can also contact Wikipedia to give them feedback. CPGirlAJ (talk) 22:36, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I know how to rate an article using the feedback tool. I also know how to rate them using the quality assessment scale.

Editing Help Needed

There is a dead link in the References section of the article Theodore Tugboat. When I try to edit (update) this dead link, it does not show. I cannot update this dead link. All other sections of Theodore Tugboat appear normally for editing - just this one section is not accessible. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smith9847 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Which footnote number is the dead link? The dead link would be in the body of the article where that footnote comes from. —teb728 t c 06:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

The ^ sign next to the reference number in the list of references is a link that takes you up to the place in the article where the ref is defined; similarly with the small letters after the ^ sign if the same reference is called up more than once (in which case click the ^a link). If the section which you want to edit is the lede, then just click the edit tab at the top of the article page. - David Biddulph (talk) 07:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

There are three links that are tagged as dead links. In order to correct them, you would have to edit the section of the article where that link is used as a reference and NOT the references section itself. Dismas|^(talk) 07:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

The dead link for footnote #9 is near the bottom of the first paragraph of Theodore Tugboat. It is the wikitext that says:

<ref name = "nydaily">{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/1997/10/24/1997-10-24_papa_s_brand-new_bag__kids__.html|title=New York Daily News - Papa's Brand-new Bag - Kids' TV (Oct. 24, 1997)|accessdate=2009-04-09|publisher=NYDailyNews.com | date=1997-10-24}}{{dead}}</ref>

Forum advice on {{Kennedy Center Honorees}}

Since WP:PRIZE is inactive, I am wondering where the proper forum is to determine of the new {{Kennedy Center Honorees}} should be implemented in place of the separate yearly templates. I.E., should {{Kennedy Center Honorees|2007}} replace {{2007 Kennedy Center Honorees}}. I noticed that the template was implemented for 2009-2011 honorees and converted 2008 honoree pages. Then, I thought maybe the old system was better. I am wondering where I would determine consensus on which is preferred. I am willing to swap in the rest if the new template is preferred, but I am not sure it is.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:08, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

How can I post my institution's profile?

To whom it may concern, I am the educational technologist of a well-known school in Lebanon and I have tried hard to post the profile of the school on Wikipedia. I was asked to review my article several times because I have not provided a third-party citation, consequenlty the article is still in the AFC area. Kindly guide me to know if I am doing the right thing by posting the information of my institution as an article. In other words, is there another area on Wikipedia where I can post the profile of my school? I would also like to note that the instituion needs to post its profile on Wikipedia such that it provides its proper information about its profile rather than refering to someone (third party) to talk about it. Thank you in advance,Joanna Moawad - Educational Technologist - Jesus and Mary School (talk) 08:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

You are totally wrong in saying "the instituion needs to post its profile on Wikipedia such that it provides its proper information about its profile rather than refering to someone (third party) to talk about it". Wikipedia maintains a neutral point of view by relying on third parties (bearing in mind that the content needs to be verifiable from reliable sources). You need to read Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. - David Biddulph (talk) 10:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

For what you want to do, Facebook is a better choice. Wikipedia does not allow "profiles". Roger (talk) 10:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

(e/c)The first paragraph is not bad, but the rest is unencyclopedic and promotional (and/or confessional)—as though written to attract parents to send their students there or to solicit contributions. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and articles must be written from a neutral point of view.

The draft lacks references to third party reliable sources that verify the article’s statements about the school and show that the school has received significant coverage in such sources. As nearly as I can tell none of the references even mentions the school.

If you want to post a profile as the school sees itself rather than as third parties see it, you will have to find another venue. Such a page will not be accepted on Wikipedia. —teb728 t c 10:50, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

New user

Hello, I wonder if you can help me, I have only just become a member and I am not exactly sure how to get started, do I have to take a course in computer programming first before I can create an article or do you have a template editor that I haven’t found yet? I am not a computer fanatic but I am willing to learn exactly what I need to contribute to wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zsva65 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

You could start with WP:Tutorial. There are many links from there to other guides if you need more detail. On a discussion page such as this one, if you start a new topic you should give it a section header similar to what I've added above (== New user ==), and you should sign your message with 4 tildes ~~~~ (which will automatically add your user name, with links, and date and time). - David Biddulph (talk) 12:49, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

It is also a much better idea to first do some "minor" editing in existing articles before launching into starting an entirely new article. That way you get hands-on experience and learn how things work here. The vast majority of articles created by newbies are deleted very quickly because they don't comply with the basic minimum requirements for articles. Maybe I was unusually "timid" but I logged hundreds of edits in many existing articles before I dared to start a new one. Roger (talk) 15:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Highlighting links

I have my article now on wikipedia but I haven't managed to make the links (highlighted in blue) to names etc appear. How is this done please? DonLorenzo11 (talk) 13:10, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Linking to existing Wikipedia pages is done by placing doubled brackets around the name of the page. Thus, [[Wikipedia]] produces Wikipedia. A useful expansion of this is done by separating what you want linked, from what you want displayed, with a pipe character ("|"), to create a "piped link". Thus: [[Wikipedia|encyclopedia]] produces encyclopedia, with the displayed text linking to the article, Wikipedia. You can link to internal sections of pages in this way: Wikipedia#name of internal section of that article. By contrast, for external links: http://www.example.org produces http://www.example.org; [http://www.example.org] produces [3]; and [http://www.example.org example] produces example. For more information, see Help:Link and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial. Hope this has helped.Template:Z28--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:24, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

unit formatting guidelines

I've searched everywhere but cant find the guideline on how to format measurements. For example, looking at the source of a page shows this....

{{convert|236|mm|in|abbr=on}}

I'm looking for the page that describes the options for this tag, plus the guidelines on what units to use and how they should be formatted (eg should it be metric with imperial in brackets). Macrae dj (talk) 13:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Whenever you see any code in Wikipedia that starts and ends with two curly brackets ("{{" and "}}") that's a template, and most templates have documentation for their use on the template page itself. A template is located at the name you see inside the curly brackets, prefixed by "template:" Thus, to learn about the convert template, see Template:Convert ({{Convert}}). If after reading that you still have questions, please ask again here.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:38, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

H.A.A.R.P.

There was a brief ref. to the earthquake in Haiti, you know the first one they had in 200 years, of a huge magnitude, which was also in a key spot for the navy, next to Guantanamo and Cuba. But nothing was said much about the lights that are produced by H.A.A.R.P. Lights people have noticed, this has been reported and isn't fiction and H.A.A.R.P. itself confirmed the experiments they were doing in those regions of the U.S. when the unusual lights were reported.

The article, which must have been written by someone from the military and all the conciousness that that gives, failed completely to mention the same lights were RECORDED by web cam in China.
