Hello

Can you be kind enough to help me with a little something? How does one create/insert an "infobox" in an article. I am trying to add an infobox to the Huacachina article. I have read the documentation and help extensively but the "insert" dropdown menu on my editor console does not give the option of an infobox. I tried adding a template and searching for "infoboxgeo" but came up empty. TouristerMan (talk) 04:55, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

You'll need to use the wikitext editor, if I recall correctly. I haven't used the visual editor for quite some time, but {{Infobox settlement}} type templates are complicated enough they need to be done manually. Let me know if you need help. NativeForeigner ^Talk 04:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

How does one use the "wikitext" editor. I am assuming it is an editor which lets you edit the actual code/text of the articles. Is there a special permission required? I am quite new here so I do not have many of the permissions yet. TouristerMan (talk) 05:01, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

You don't need any special permissions, but you can edit source using the instructions found here: Help:VisualEditor/User_guide#Switching_between_the_visual_and_wikitext_editors. NativeForeigner ^Talk 05:03, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help. NativeForeigner ^Talk 05:06, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Open Journal Systems

Could you tell me why pending changes were applied to that page? It doesn't appear to have anything remotely related to BLP. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:01, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

On my phone, but if i recall correctly some pretty disparaging statements/links were inserted about John Willinsky which persisted for quite some time. I pendinged both pages. Feel free to remove the pending on OJS (I don't think any bad edits have happened recently) but do as you think is best. NativeForeigner ^Talk 21:42, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I went into history and couldn't find anything mentioning John Willinsky on OJS page. I'll lift the pending changes from that page. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 21:43, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Misread on my part then. Thanks for the catch. NativeForeigner ^Talk 06:05, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Rangecalc tool availability

Tool may be down in the next few days. I may have to transfer servers if I have to chargeback ChicagoVPS in their infinite scumminess. You can run it via python/command line via the github page but it'll take a while for me to configure and set up the django if that's the case. NativeForeigner ^Talk 02:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Tryptofish & GMOs

A web search leads me to understand that Tryptofish, who just brought a time-consuming complaint against me which is grossly overstated, though I did make a mistake in renaming a ref-name to make a point. I've been working patiently on Jill Stein amidst what has seemed to be a remarkably uncooperative environment. I documented this all through August. It was only on August 20th that Tryptofish came to the page, after it had been visibly tendentious for a while but was beginning to cool into a more favorable consensus for constructive collaboration. Would you be willing to take a look at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#SashiRolls or confirm that he's been banned from Wikipedia before as suggested by a google search? I'm puzzled at to what is happening here... what this trypto fish's goals actually are, since he's having long discussions about COI on his talk page. SashiRolls (talk) 00:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
