your help desk question

hello - in case it's still relevant, i've posted a reply to your question at the WP:help desk about how to re-enter the edits that got lost in a technical glitch. the main bit goes like this:

is the Word document that you saved the entire Wikipedia article in "edit window" form, including the Wikipedia formatting mark-up (links, <ref>s etc)? if so, then you can click the "edit this page" tab and then paste your text into the window in place of the existing text. if you didn't save the formatting, though, i wouldn't know what to do except retype it.

hope that's some kind of help ... Sssoul (talk) 20:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
