Show Indians

Hi Dorie, Still having technical problem under the Section "Chief Iron Tail". The text is as follows.

[[File:Chief Iron Tail, Kasebier, 1898, Two Photos.jpg|thumbnail|350px|right|Chief Iron Tail, Gertrude Kasebier, 1898, U.S. Library of Congress. Chief Iron Tail preferred the formal image.]] Käsebier’s session with Chief Iron Tail was her only recorded story: “Preparing for their visit to Käsebier’s photography studio, the Sioux at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Camp met to distribute their finest clothing and accessories to those chosen to be photographed.”

The twin photo of Iron Tail appears, but I can't delete the photo script above from the text, and when I redo I lose the photo. Tried a number of times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richlevine00 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 30 August 2012‎

I'm looking at Gertrude Käsebier#Chief Iron Tail, but I can't quite figure out what it is you're trying to do. Are you just trying to get rid of the caption under the image? If so, change the above to:

[[File:Chief Iron Tail, Kasebier, 1898, Two Photos.jpg|thumb|350px]] Käsebier’s session with [[Iron Tail|Chief Iron Tail]] was her only recorded story: “Preparing for their visit to Käsebier’s photography studio, the [[Sioux]] at [[Buffalo Bill|Buffalo Bill's Wild West]] Camp met to distribute their finest clothing and accessories to those chosen to be photographed.”

If you're trying to do something else, could you be more specific? Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 21:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I just figured out that you were talking about the Show Indians article. I've now fixed it, and cleaned up some of the overwhelming amount of over linking while I was at it. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 23:50, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Dori, thanks for your help. Most appreciated. Richlevine00 (talk) 00:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Dori, thank you for the heads up on linking. Lot's to learn.Richlevine00 (talk) 22:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree that the article needs to be upgraded. I've been working on biographies of Show Indians. Show Indians were extraordinary. Richlevine00 (talk) 15:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Improvement of page 'Not Just Fate'

Aplihs (talk) 04:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC) Hi DoriSmith, I have added the book reviews to the page from the two notable sources in India, Hindustan Times(A premier newspaper) and flipkart (a prominent online store ) and I have contacted the author for more information/references. I am looking for help to resolve WP:MOS, it would be great if you could make some suggestions. I am referring to the WP:MOS talk page for help.

I'm not the one who tagged it as needing {{cleanup}}; that was User:Mattgirling. Me, I still think that WP:NBOOK, {{notability}}, and WP:RS apply. But you're the one who removed the {{proposed deletion}} tag, so clearly you think you know what you're doing. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 02:15, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

New to Wikipedia

Hello,

I recently created a page for Dr. Randall Wolf and I saw you made contributions/deletions due to copyright infringement, etc. I apologize for my mistakes as I did not fully understand page creation using Wikipedia.

I now have a better understanding of Wikipedia's rules especially for documenting sources. I have gathered more sources in regards to the Dr. Randall Wolf page and plan to add them shortly to improve the article's validity.

I wanted to ask you though, how do I remove the error messages at the top of the page such as "This article is an orphan." In that specific case, I had the "mini-maze" Wikipedia page for heart procedures linked to Dr. Wolf's page as his name was already in that other page (I just made it a link).

Thanks for your help in answering my questions and I appreciate your willingness to help new Wikipedia users learn about such a great resource.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Three minutes after you left the above you removed the orphan tag from Randall Wolf, so I'm guessing that you no longer have this question. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 02:15, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Costarrica's top model hoaxes

There are more of them - I have merged the Loisa47 SPI into Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mikaela salas as that account seems to be the oldest. I don't think there's much point to a Checkuser, as they seem to create new accounts as they go along. Just a case of playing whack-a-mole until they get bored.

Self published? Dlohcierekim 22:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean "Do I think that the article is an autobiography?" Well, given that the article creator is either him or someone using his name, I'd say yes.

Let me know if I misunderstood the question. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 22:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Too laconic. R his works self published? Dlohcierekim 22:11, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Amazon says he's the publisher of all/most of his books, so I'd say yes. I tagged it as a {{prod blp}}, but I don't disagree with the speedy. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 22:18, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
