    @BobJones421: but there are multiple other serious issues that need to be addressed including establishing that the subject meets the basic criteria for having an article in the first place and the fact that most of the content appears to be cut and paste copyright violation. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:00, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Does WP:TRANSLATE help?--ukexpat (talk) 12:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    This is the help desk for English-language Wikipedia. Your question is best asked at the help desk (assuming there is one) of Tamil-language Wikipedia. They may have different guidelines there about creating articles - all Wikipedias do things in their own ways. You are of course free to translate the English-language article and use its content there. Maproom (talk) 12:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vijayganesh.s1996 - the Tamil Help Desk is the best place to get assistance. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:Translate us is more appropriate to this question. --ColinFine (talk) 16:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The use of Wikipedia free articles in ,y book.

    I'm writing a book about my time as an air traffic controller at Edwards AFB, CA, 1955-1959. I learned through your articles that most of the Test Pilots have a very interesting background. Most were Aces during WW II &/or the Korean War. I worked them while working in the control tower. We lost sever pilots while I was there. I find that with you help I am better at bring attention to . This also includes the Seven Original Astronauts.

    I will visit EDW AFB Historian, & others, to see if they have some information that I can use with their permission. I will give you a plug & mention in the book where I located my information.

    Will you give me permission to use material from Wikipedia?

    That would be extremely unwise. Instead, try contacting the person you are in dispute with directly on their talk page. If that fails, follow one of the dispute resolution procedures. SpinningSpark 19:21, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Rich Dad Education

    I represent Rich Dad Education, which had a page at Rich Dad Education. That URL is now being directed to the Rich Dad Poor Dad page at: Rich Dad Poor Dad#Related business. Most likely there was confusion in whether these pages are the same, but these are two completely separate brands and entities so legally we cannot have them combined. Any help is great appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thanksforthebreakthrough (talkcontribs) 15:08, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a marketing outlet so we can merge one article into a related one (as happened here) when it is appropriate to do so under our policies and guidelines. However, the merged material is more appropriate for the brand page at Rich Dad so I think the redirect should changed to point to that page.--ukexpat (talk) 15:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The redirect is only partly functional because the section name is "Related businesses", not "Related business". That fix is not yet in my skill set. ‑‑Mandruss (talk) 16:03, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I have moved the Rich Dad Education stuff to Rich Dad (depuffed it to) and edited the redirect accordingly.--ukexpat (talk) 16:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    ... and I have pointed the redirect at the relevant section. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:11, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Baronets

    Is a Baronet notable with a sole mention in Debretts or do they need multiple independent references? Thanks.Gomach (talk) 16:36, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    There is no separate guideline for baronets (Wikipedia:Notability (royalty) is a failed proposal) so you have to fall back on WP:BIO which requires multiple sources (WP:BASIC).--ukexpat (talk) 16:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict)IMHO no as per Wikipedia:Notability is not inherited.
    So they had a famous, or possibly infamous, forbear, who was awarded a Baronetcy; but if they have not done anything to make themselves notable, they are not notable. - Arjayay (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The consensus in this kind of case is often to treat the title as notable, but not necessarily the individual holders. Individuals can only be notable in their own right, they cannot inherit the notability of the title. So the compromise for an inherited title would be to write an article about the title where the individual holders can be discussed (or just listed if there is nothing more than their listing in Debrett's). Baronetcys are fairly low down the pecking order of nobility and it is possible there may not even be enough sourced information to create an article on the title. SpinningSpark 19:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    First is there a tool that would enable an easy search for any external links *in mainspace* back to wikipedia *and* Second, having dealt with this with a long term abuser, is there any tool that would limit the results of the first group that contain oldid in the URL? (The Long term Abuser linked a word on a page to an external link back to Wikipedia to a version of another page that had his abuse on it.) I know about the external link checker which can be used to search for external links back to wikipedia, but I don't see how to limit it either directly *or* to use it as an import to AutoWikiBrowser. (any suggestions on better places to ask this question are welcome) Naraht (talk) 16:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    If the links are back to a single or couple of pages, go to those pages and "what links here"? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:09, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh wait, that would catch it via url link method. Nevermind! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The LTA has done this to a few pages and I have no reason to believe that that is the entire set, which is why I would like to find these en.wp wide (if he is doing this on one of the other wp, that's another issue. :( )Naraht (talk) 21:24, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I could do a database scan for something like wikipedia.org[any characters expect spaces]&oldid=, but that would only give you the list at the time of my current database dump, 8th October. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:10, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Star trek online image upload

    Hello, two weeks ago I wanted to upload a banner image to the Dutch Star Trek online page but they told me over here that it's copyrighted and that I have no permission to do that because it's non free media.

    So, I send and e-mail to Perfect World Entertainment with the question whether they could give me a picture that I could use on the Dutch wikipedia article on star trek online I've been working on: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Online .(I first send this e-mail to Cryptic studios but they told me to ask PWE) I also asked them for permission to use it. Perfect World Entertainment is the owner of Cryptic studios who is the Creator of star trek online.

    Perfect World Entertainment replied to my e-mail telling me they found it awesome and appreciated it and they gave me an image with permission to use on the wikipedia article. Here's a picture for as evidence that this happened. On the left you see my email and on the right you see their reply: http://imgur.com/Ak4vB17

    I tried uploading this to wikimedia commons. But I have to fill in copyright stuff. I allready looked at the options and I don't really understand it. My question is. Can someone guide me through the uploading process telling me how to fill in all the copyright and legal stuff with the information I just provided so I can upload the image PWE provided? Thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maarten359 (talkcontribs) 18:27, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Permission for use just on Wikipedia is not sufficient. The copyright release must be for all purposes including commercial reuse, see Commons Licensing.--ukexpat (talk) 18:43, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Additionally, the Dutch Wikipedia is autonomous and not influenced by anything we may say here at the English Wikipedia. If you want to upload something there, it would be best to ask there for help since they would know their own policies better than most people here. Dismas|(talk) 19:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    A question about numbered lists

    So say I have a list

    1. Item one
    2. Item two
    3. Three
    4. Four
    5. Five

    Is there a way to interrupt it like this...

    1. But have this be item six?

    By the way, this is for a humorous Wikipedia essay I'm writing. Thanks for any help. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 20:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    1. Item one
    2. Item two
    3. Three
    4. Four
    5. Five
      Is there a way to interrupt it like this...
    6. But have this be item six?

    (edit to see how) ‑‑Mandruss (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I think numbered lists are most useful when the list is subject to additions and deletions, to save having to renumber everything. If your list is pretty much static, I don't see why you couldn't just code the numbers as text, which would give you more flexibility as to the appearance. For example, the indent of the "interruption" could be made to look more like your example.

    1. Item one
    2. Item two
    3. Three
    4. Four
    5. Five

    negligence of Wikipedia

    List of dialling codes in Pakistan

    link above page named as list of dialing codes in pakistan Why Wikipedia has not given correct information on this page?? Dialing codes of Province KPK is not given and also dialing codes of Northern Areas has not given on the page. Is wikipedia want to show KPK province not located in Pakistan. Shame on you Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.32.57.222 (talk) 06:59, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia has no intention of pretending Khyber Pakhtunkhwa doesn't exist. Rather than shaming it for an oversight in a very minor article, you could help improve it. Do you know the area codes for cities in that province? InedibleHulk (talk) 07:09, October 17, 2014 (UTC)

    Protect Userpage

    Hi Wiki,

    I had created a User page, I shows an edit option at the top of right. I could make way for others to edit my user page. Could suggest methods to protect my page from vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vivekanand Selvaraj (talkcontribs) 07:12, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    User pages are rarely vandalised, and I know of no reason why anyone would want to vandalise yours. If it ever is vandalised, it will be easy for you to undo the damage: click on "View history" and then on "undo". A few controversial Wikipedia pages are protected from editing, but I doubt this protection would ever be granted to a user page. Maproom (talk) 10:21, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    there are in fact many user pages that are protected. but it is only done after a history of inappropriate edits to that page. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    WikiProject banners on Categories

    Should the talk pages of Categories be tagged with WikiProject banners? My impression is that it's rather pointless as Category pages do not have any significant content. I'm referring to "general" content categories, not categories that might be used as part of a particular WikiProject's article management setup. Example; how useful is it for "Category:Italian tennis clubs" to be tagged by the Tennis and Italy projects? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Dodger67, I agree. Wikiproject banner tags are meant for article talk pages. The guideline (Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide) does not forbid it, but gives no mention of usage in category talk pages. For a more conclusive answer, you could ask the WikiProject Council. All the best, Taketa (talk) 21:17, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Town Linke Church

    I recently edited the article on Town Linke Church and cemetery (in Steuben County, New York), correcting the spelling to Town Line Church and Cemetery (as may be seen by the sign over the doors in the photo at top right of the article). However, I have no idea how to change (or request a change) in the entry title itself... so it's still listed under Town Linke Church. It's also listed with this incorrect spelling in the roster of National Register sites in new York. Can someone please advise me what would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks for reporting the issue and fixing part of the problem but please be careful not to change file names to non-existing names. It means no file will be displayed.

    Can you highlight text, and press something to surround it with colons to get a nested reply?

    It would be like how Wikipedia heading syntax can be added around text in the editing page.

    I'm sorry, but I really don't understand at all what you are asking for. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bboyjkang2: I don't know a tool with such a feature. You only add colons at the start of the line and don't need something balanced to surround the line, so I don't see need for a tool. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:42, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Highlighting could be done like this, but only on talk pages, by using <mark>text</mark>. Other examples are like this, by using '''text''' or
    Like this, by leaving a space before the sentence.
    
    All the best, Taketa (talk) 04:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    My answer assumed you mean like marking text in the edit box and using the toolbar to insert a section heading with an equal number of '=' at each end of the marked text, but instead inserting colons to the left of the marked text to get an indented reply like this with no marking in the saved page. PrimeHunter (talk) 04:23, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    If my reply is to remain nested, each new paragraph has to have preceding colons.
    If a reply has multiple paragraphs, I would like to select the reply content, press a button, and have it automatically put colons at the start of each paragraph of the reply. Bboyjkang2 (talk) 04:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I know what you mean. I sometimes want paragraph breaks to improve readability, and it's cumbersome to indent each paragraph.
    At some point, everything we do on talk pages will be replaced by a new thing, Flow. My guess is that Flow will make things like that easier, or unnecessary. This is still a ways off, and there is currently no target date for rollout. ‑‑Mandruss (talk) 07:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Another way may be
    to input a single 'paragrah' of a text
    with a single line of colons in front of it
    to define appropriate indentation
    an split its
    contents with HTML <br/> tag.
    However, such text may be difficult to re-edit later, if some revision is necessary, as there is no obvious, easily visible division of the contents in the source text. --CiaPan (talk) 09:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I found a tool with such a function. Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets has the option:
    "(U) wikEd: alternative full-featured integrated text editor for Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome (documentation)"
    wikEd has lots of features including the icon to increase indentation. If I click it more than once without marking the same text again then I also get increased indentation in earlier text. Unless I missed something, it may often be easier to just copy-paste the same number of colons to the start of each line. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:30, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    posting article to facebook

    How do I post an article to facebook? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.196.222.4 (talk) 12:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Copy the article's URL and paste it where you'd normally share anything. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:51, October 18, 2014 (UTC)

    i edited "List of tropical cyclone records" wikipedia article...

    Ram nareshji (talk) 12:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC) i edited "List of tropical cyclone records" wikipedia article... but i am fear i didn't add reference source, what will happen to me, will my account get suspended from editing wikipedia articles for this mistake??[reply]

    No. Either someone will revert it, add a source or ignore it. If you make a habit of it, someone will give you a friendly warning. If you keep it up, you'll get increasingly less-friendly warnings. When you're near getting blocked, it'll be very clear. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:54, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
    What you did was actually a bit worse. You replaced something that was sourced with something that wasn't. Consider this your first friendly warning. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:57, October 18, 2014 (UTC)

    Ram nareshji (talk) 13:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC) i added the source: :http://www.lenseye.co/2014/10/13/lens-eye-exclusive-cyclone-hudhud-effect/, then also why it revert it back? Most Intense Cyclone is Cyclone HudHud, 870 mb (hPa) (25.69 inHg) is value of Typhoon Tip, then Cyclone HudHud has even more see the value: 960 mbar (hPa); 28.35 inHg, so which is most intense cyclone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ram nareshji (talkcontribs) 13:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Ram nareshji (talk) 13:09, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    please allow me to edit wikipedia articles

    please allow me to edit wikipedia articles, actually wikipedia caption is : anyone can edit , then why "List of tropical cyclone records" wikipedia article revert it back? even i added reference source to it, then also my edit is ignored & revert it back Ram nareshji (talk) 13:14, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    You added the source, and then removed it yourself a minute later. That left just the unsourced replacement of an existing sourced section. In any event, that everyone can edit WIkipedia, also means that anyone can revert an inappropriate change. Rwessel (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I assumed since you removed the source (which isn't the one you now claim it was), there was something wrong with it. I don't know much about hurricanes, but it seems the lower the central pressure, the stronger the storm. Since Tip's is lower than Hudhud's, it seems right as is.

    Hi, I just tried to create this new navbox, but I think I'm doing something wrong because when I go to one of the pages on which the navbox appears, and click on "edit", the program says there is no such navbox. Thanks for your help, Yoninah (talk) 17:44, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Yoninah, the template is at Template:Contemporary Hasidic music. If you wish to move it to a new name, you can use the "Move" button at the top of the page. You may have to click on the "more" button at the top of the page to see the move button. All the best, Taketa (talk) 18:04, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict)You created {{Contemporary Hasidic music}} but set |name=Contemporary Jewish religious music. This breaks the "E" edit link. --  Gadget850 talk 18:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah sorry, I see I misunderstood the question. As Gadget850 says. You have the choice to change the name of the template or the name used in the template, or you can remove the edit button. All the best, Taketa (talk) 18:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you! Yoninah (talk) 18:31, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
