Thank you very much for that referral, but I had already read it and I don't understand how we enter the multiple offices at different insitutions he's held? Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 00:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I saw that you removed the link to Commons from this page with the comment that it appears in the sidebar. What sidebar are you referring to? I don't see a way to make a sidebar appear. If other people also don't see a sidebar, perhaps the link to commons should remain. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 06:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
The sidebar doesn't appear in mobile view, and as far as I am aware, there is no way to go directly from Wikipedia to Commons (or Wikispecies) in mobile view except via the templates {{Commons}} or {{Commons category}} (you can get to Commons indirectly in mobile view via Wikidata).
I would very much like to get rid of Commons/Wikispecies link templates in articles, but until there is a way to get to the sister projects in mobile view, I leave the templates in place.
Ah. That list of options appears for me in the Tools menu and only there. I'm not using the mobile version. {{Commons category}} can be a more inspiring and useful link for wikipedia editors hoping to find plant images, and perhaps also for general readers; the Commons page often adds nothing to wikispecies (except for cultivars). I'd like to see both Commons entry points listed in the taxonbar template. There was some discussion in 2018 and no-doubt elsewhere. They are arguably a bit different from the other databases listed in the template, but I don't see opinions to omit them on that account. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 23:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I added quite some references on your request in the text. Reference 1 could be added at other places as well but I thought it was balanced now. I Tried to add a picture of a painting of him which is quite illustrative but I failed... Any tips how to do it? Do you think the comments on referencing could be cleared now? Many thanks for the help. Pancras Hogendoorn (talk) 10:56, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
I tried to add the painting but I am not succeeding: Painting Paul Ernst IMG 1800 as a text under it I would like to have:
Painting of Paul Ernst at the time of his retirement as Professor of Pathology at University of Heidelberg. The picture is uploaded in wikimedia commons but how to get it in the paper?? Can you do it for me? Many thanks! Pancras Hogendoorn (talk) 15:24, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
You have it correct above. I don't know what you want. Do you just want to change the caption? Replace the text after the last pipe with whatever text you want. - UtherSRG(talk)14:56, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I just want it placed in the wikipedia Paul Ernst (pathologist) as illustration with the caption hereunder
Painting of Paul Ernst at the time of his retirement as Professor of Pathology at University of Heidelberg.
I have no interest in doing so. You were able to place the image here correctly, you can place the image on the article. If you are having trouble doing so, please tell me what the problem is. You haven't been able to explain the problem in a way that says you actually tried to do it. - UtherSRG(talk)12:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Ok I went to the Paul Ernst page and logged in then clicked on edit source and went into the text where the link to the painting would fit, then clicked in the immages and media button then an insert file possiblity appears. Then I entered https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Painting_Paul_Ernst_IMG_1800.jp in the filename window. then I have put a caption name and then safe and then it appears in read as thumb and the file name and not the picture Pancras Hogendoorn (talk) 14:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Just did another attempt according to what I have understood from you ( see the page...) but it still does not work. I entered Painting_Paul_Ernst_IMG_1800.jp You must have the feeling that I am very stupid sorry but a new hint is appreciated or maybe you can insert it... Pancras Hogendoorn (talk) 16:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
You simply had a typo: you had .jp instead of .jpg. I have fixed it for you. Please use the "Preview" button or the "show changes" button when editting to see what you are doing. - UtherSRG(talk)19:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Stupid of me! But many thanks. I have put also all relevant references in the text so in my view the remark about need for more references you have put in can be deleted. Do you agree? Again Many thanks. I will send the link around in the Pathology community, which asked me to make the page... Pancras Hogendoorn (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Hello UtherSRG, appreciate you taking the time to review the page Geoff Allen (businessman). I was just wondering what suggestions you may have so I can improve the article and remove the maintenance templates.
Address the external links first. You have at least one in the lead, plus the list of works. The one in the lead should probably be converted to a reference. See similar articles on how to deal with list of works, etc. - UtherSRG(talk)14:44, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Re similar articles with a list of works, I followed the format of the page on International Relations theorist John Mearsheimer. This includes many external links but wasn't flagged. I guess it depends? I'll remove them anyway. ShortStat (talk) 02:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
Siberian Tiger
I had made that edit in context to the habitat they reside for example in Russia in Siberia region hence I wrote "Russian tiger" Eiehel (talk) 02:54, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
You can't just make up names and say the species is called that. You need to cite a source. Do the sources call it "Russian tiger"? - UtherSRG(talk)02:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Should the cited source be in form of an article or a video? If yes should I post it in your talk page or in edit summary? Eiehel (talk) 11:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
