Edit history

Is it possible to delete some histories from Jena High School. Thanks,Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 01:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)>[reply]

I don't think it's possible to delete a history, although upon examination I think I understand why you would want to do so, and sympathize. You may want to consider that since a significant section of the article is devoted to "Racial tension" it might be more valuable to demonstrate to readers that that sort of vandalism is not tolerated at Wikipedia and is quickly reverted or edited. I'm sorry not to be able to help you more. Accounting4Taste 01:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specific versions of articles may be deleted by admins, although it should only be used if the version includes someone's personal information. --Ag ü eybaná 01:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Walt Disney's "Zorro" television series

There is a mistake on this page regarding the hour-long episodes aired on the Disney anthology series. The article stated that the episodes were shown in color and that they aired on NBC. This is incorrect. All four episodes were filmed in black-and-white and aired on ABC during the 1960-61 season, when the series was called "Walt Disney Presents." The show moved to NBC in the fall of 1961, where it was renamed "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color."

How do I make these corrections?

You can learn about the mechanics of editing a page at Wikipedia:How to edit a page; anyone can edit a Wikipedia article. However, one important principle at Wikipedia is that content must be verifiable (click on the word "verifiable" to find out more about that policy). You need to be able to back up your assertion about Zorro with reference to an outside source -- a book or a magazine article, for instance -- that says so. My copy of The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows doesn't seem to list Zorro separately, so you may need to do some digging. If you don't back up your assertions with a reference, someone else may come along and say that you're wrong and change it back to what it was... I hope this helps. If you need more information, leave a note on my talk page. Accounting4Taste 01:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me about Pokémon Cheating Encyclopedia if you can!

Help! I made an encyclopedia so people could get Pokémon cheats and glitches. I was being nice, so why was my page (Pokémon Cheating Encyclopedia) deleted?! And is there anything I can do about it?

Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not include how-to articles. (See WP:NOT#HOWTO). So Wikipedia might not be the place for an article on how to cheat in Pokemon. However, you might take a look at the Pokemon Wikiproject and see if you'd be interested in contributing there. --Bfigura ^(talk) 02:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have put Pokémon Action Replay Encyclopedia up for CSD as well. User:Blair Bonnett replied to your earlier edit with this However, this is not suitable content for Wikipedia (see WP:NOT, specifically WP:NOT#HOWTO). If you want to create a Pokémon cheat wikia, you could try somewhere like Wikia or Bluwiki Blair - Speak to me 01:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC) . I think he said it perfectly. This type of content does not belong in an encyclopedia. Please see Pokemon wikiproject for how you can help edit Pokemon related articles. Woodym555 02:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See: WP:WWMPD#If all else fails, try another wiki. You can search for a Pokémon-related wiki on WikiIndex. For example, try: wikiindex:Category:Games and wikiindex:Category:Pokemon. WikiIndex lists several Pokemon-related wikis, including The Pokémon Encyclopedia. Most wikis that specialize in a particular topic accept articles on that topic with fewer content restrictions than Wikipedia has. Which means your work is more likely to be acceptable on a wiki that specializes in Pokémon. --Teratornis 10:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which is to say, I would have to slightly disagree with the "said it perfectly" assessment, since there was no mention of the suitable alternative wikis that already exist. Starting an entirely new wiki is much harder than editing on an existing wiki, so that would normally be a last resort. In general, it seems too few participants in deletion debates on Wikipedia are fully aware of the several thousand alternative wikis that already exist. Even worse, many of the new users who create new articles on Wikipedia that violate one or more of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines seem to be utterly unaware that there are other wikis besides Wikipedia (and I think Wikipedia needs to do a better job, somehow, of pointing this out to new users who try to create new articles). --Teratornis 10:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think said it perfectly was a fairly adequate statement. I dont think it is neccessarily our job to mention every single other wiki. Most Wikipedia editors are here to help Wikipedia to develop. That being said the link to the Pokemon Encyclopedia is here: http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Home . I do think that some editors should be guided elsewhere in their endeavours because they have valuable contributions to make to other wikis. We can't provide a link to every other wiki though because, as you say there are thousands. Woodym555 10:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking about this problem for some time; my notes are in: User:Teratornis/Outplacement. --Teratornis 23:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dale Wiley deleted for the wrong reason

I had an article deleted about Dale Wiley, saying that there was nothing notable about him to include him in Wikipedia. I thought it was notable that he was the only player (to best of knowledge) to have played pro basketball both as an able-bodied player and then later as a handicapped player after an accident. I also thought that other people would come across the page to either confirm and add on to the information, or to let us know why the information was no longer accurate. It doesn't help that his fame was from before the days of public internet. He did meet with then-President Ronald Reagan, and played a leading role in organizing the Para-Olympic Games. I have no conflict of interest here. I was simply trying to research Dale Wiley and found that nobody had anything about him in Wikipedia, so I thought I'd just post what I knew and see if more info could be added from other sources more knowledgable than myself. He could be a hero and role model for handicapped persons and specifically for wheelchair-bound persons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrommer (talk • contribs) 02:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to contact the admin who deleted the article (User:Tawker) and see if he would be willing to copy it to your user-space, so that you can improve it. Alternatively, you could go to deletion review, and see if you can get it undeleted there. In either event, you'd also need to make sure that you can create an article with verifiable, independent, reliable sources. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 02:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article wasn't really written in a way that made his notability clear. It wasn't in an ordinary Wikipedia biography style. I'm not sure if you copied the text from somewhere else, but it would need to be completely rewritten. Leebo ^T/C 04:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where to ask for others to look at an article?

People need to look at the Judge Judy and Judith Sheindlin article. They've gained the attention of a user (and his many sockpuppets) who has been abusive and seems to think he owns the pages. He called me names and has slowly reverted all my edits (and the edits of others), calling them ridiculous and erroneous, and continually removes cleanup templates. Other uses have commented on the talk page about the article needing cleanup. Where do I ask for experienced Wikipedians to pay special attention to this article? I am not sure Request for Comments is the best place. Kat, Queen of Typos 07:14, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put both pages on my watchlist. ByeNow is the abusive editor you mentioned? GlassCobra 07:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Kat, Queen of Typos 07:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have left reminders about our civility policies at the talk pages of User:Lormos and User:ByeNow. It's plainly inappropriate for Lormos to use edit summaries like "Oh my fucking god did Rainbow really mess up this page" and to imply that you don't "do anything very useful" on Wikipedia (Talk:Judge Judy). Neither is it proper for ByeNow to call your edits "ridiculous" and tell you to "stop whining". I hope that they will read over the policies and change their approach to the conversation accordingly. It is of a bit of concern that your mention of indefinitely blocked user Tratare and potential sock puppetry was immediately removed from the page. If evidence develops to lead you to believe that such is the case, please consider seeking assistance at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. --Moonriddengirl 12:23, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Using with research function in MS Office

You could try this URL:

I like this one, because Google Search often gives better results than Wikipedia's built-in Help:Search method:

The URL behind that link is:

Also see: WP:EIW#Search for information about many ways to search Wikipedia. Disclaimer: I don't know how you would integrate a search URL into Microsoft Office.

copyrights

The following image has the following Licensing message attached to it. the same message is attached to the maps of the British, Portuguese and French empire maps. does the license message mean that i have the right to use this map in a publication of my own?

also, there were animated maps of the same empires that have now been taken off the article. is this because these maps had copyright infringements? or because they were invalid?

Dent09 12:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the GFDL, which you can read in full at that link, gives you the right to duplicate the content within. It's the same license Wikipedia uses for all of its content. You can find more information here. Unfortunately, I'm not sure why the image was removed, but it's likely there was some form of copyright problem, or a consensus was reached somewhere that a static map works better for our purposes. You're free to look it up in the page history if you like - it's probable whoever removed the image left behind an edit summary explaining their actions.

Hidden search box

Have you considered placing the search box closer to the top of the welcome page.

As the box now is located, I find I cannot view it even at the bottom of the 1st page. I must scroll down to it on the left of my screen.

Most people, I would bet, come to Wikipedia to search for something and not to read the articles - though they are of interest, generally worth looking at.

It's visible on my screen. Try making your font size smaller in your browser, or adjusting your screen's resolution.

Haven't received e-mail with new password

Hi. I registered a couple days ago, and when I logged in yesterday I apparently forgot my password. I hit the "e-mail new password" button, but I haven't received an e-mail yet.

Use images from another (language) Wikipedia

Hi,

how can I use an image in my article, if the image has been uploaded to a different Wikipedia? To be more specific: I wrote an article in the English Wikipedia and uploaded an image for this article. Now I would like to use the same image for the German article. Using the standard command didn't work, however. So, how do I have to do this? I bet there is another way than simply uploading the same image to the German Wiki.

Your help is appreciated, thank you!

Since the image you uploaded is being used under a claim of fair use, you will need to upload it again on the German Wiki, sorry. If it was an freely licensed or public domain image, you could have uploaded it to the Commons instead and been able to do this. It's not possible to link to images across languages due to the limitations of the software, and the German Wiki would need a local copy of the fair use rationale in German. Sorry.

Hang on there - You can't upload fair use or copyrighted images to the Commons. They won't accept them, they're very likely to get deleted, and you're very likely to get blocked over there if you do so. Fair use images MUST be uploaded to the project you intend to use them on locally. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:03, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Information

Acronym versus name

I noticed that "Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency" redirects to DARPA. Is this correct or should the acronym redirect to the actual name of the agency?

I read the discussion on the DARPA page about this issue, but the only reason given is that "DARPA" is what is used my the media/public. Is HSARPA even well known enough to be used by one name or another? Micah J. Manary 21:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (abbreviations). PrimeHunter 22:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basically what that says is to use whichever is more common. I'd go with the precedent set by DARPA in this case and leave "Homeland Security blah blah" redirecting to HSARPA. The acronym's a lot shorter and easier to search for anyways. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 22:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I guess you are referring to equal signs in the template in [1]. It doesn't matter how you write multiplication. An equal sign in a template is usually interpreted by the software as an assignment to a parameter so your code produces this which doesn't work:

172. error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help)

Here is one way to fix it (click edit to see what I did):

172. Shinken X Yamiken X Fist = Running Wild (真拳×闇拳×拳＝暴走, Shinken x Yamiken x Kobushi = Bōsō)

Here is another way where I replaced each = with {{equals}}:

172. Shinken X Yamiken X Fist = Running Wild (真拳×闇拳×拳=暴走, Shinken x Yamiken x Kobushi = Bōsō)
