Fannie Branson horses and history

I am looking for any information for a Fannie Branson of Agate Beach, Oregon. She had a museum there and made hand carved horses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.159.99 (talk) 02:29, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photos submitted

About 18 months ago, I submitted original photos from a concert I attended in Orlando Florida of Sugarland. I completed the proper paperwork and gave permission to Wikipedia to use the photos. Tonight I looked for the photos but was unsuccessful in locating them. Would you be able to assist me in this endeavor? I will be attending a Kenny Chesney concert in May of this year and will have seats close to the stage. I intend to submit photos for his webpage @ Wikipedia. Just want to make sure that they will be posted and I would like to see these. Please send help my way. Thanks, G H Malone Bluffton, SC —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.203.207.42 (talk) 02:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In order to have uploaded photos here or at our companion site for free images, the Wikimedia Commons, you had to have done so using a user account you created. If you can tell us the exact name of the account you used, we can then check its contributions (included deleted contributions) to see what became of the images. Since you left this message editing under your IP address, which has no other posts but this one, you haven't provided us any information to go on to investigate your question, other than possibly searching the history of the article on Sugarland to see whether it at one time had some images included that are no longer present; I just tried that, though not in great depth, and came up empty. Please give us a little more information.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You say you "gave permission to Wikipedia". Do you remember if you specifically said that the photos could be used by Wikipedia, or did you agree to release them under a free license (e.g. GFDL or Creative Commons)? If the former, then there's a good chance that the images were deleted since the license Wikipedia operates under means that such strict releases are unsuitable. Confusing Manifestation(Say hi!) 04:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you communicate by email, for example through the OTRS system? PrimeHunter (talk) 04:19, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As for the new photos, just upload them at Wikimedia Commons and select commons:Template:PD-self as the license. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New article - submission declined

Recently, we posted an article on our company and submitted for review.

We were returned a "This submission has been declined. The reviewer left the following comment: We're sorry, but we cannot accept unsourced suggestions or sources that are not reliable per the verifiability policy. Please cite reliable, third-party sources with your suggestions. Third party sources are needed so the information can be verified and to establish the notability of the topic."

We thought that it may have been because we didn't have enough external references. So we added news items from third party sites. Even that didn't seem to help. Wiki still returned the same message (above).

How do we circumvent this? I find many articles that do not have any links embedded in them. Why is ours being treated differently? Also, the external references on our article are from news and broadcasting sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Intense Technology (talk • contribs) 07:13, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To establish notability, please see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). A quote from there: "A primary test of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or its manufacturer, creator, or vendor) have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it."

The BCCL news item looks, to me, like independent coverage of the company, so that's a start. The "Company Facts" link confirms that the company exists but does not indicate that it is important in any way. Presumably that site has a page for every registered company in the region or market sector. The other news items seem to derive from press releases issued by the company itself, so do not establish any notability. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please also read what you were told at your talk page, and read WP:CORPNAME and WP:COI. - David Biddulph (talk) 08:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the notability and corpname issues (glad someone else pointed that out, I got criticised for it the last time I did), the article is nothing more than a list of things about the company, which could be viewed as an attempt at advertising, in breach of policy. – ukexpat (talk) 14:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add inline references to reliable sources that are independent of Intense Technologies, not external links[1] to press releases connected to Intense Technologies and websites that are not reliable sources. In general, you need to build the article from reliable sources, not write the article to say what you know about the company or want to convey about the company. You may be too close to Intense Technologies to develop an article that meets Wikipedia's content policy. To request that another editor write the article, post at Wikipedia:Requested articles. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Am I right to doubt fanfiction.net is a reliable source?

Can someone else please take a look at this edit. I strongly doubt the reference added is a reliable source and therefore should not be used in this context. I would normally revert this myself right away, but considering the extreme reaction I received from Archiver of Records (talk · contribs) last time I reverted one of his edits, I don't really want to provoke him into personally attacking me again if there is doubt about the source's reliability. Don't get me wrong here; I'm quite happy to take him on again, but just want to be sure the community agrees the source is not reliable. Astronaut (talk) 07:45, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a question for WP:RSN. - David Biddulph (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Moved question to :Reliable sources noticeboard. Astronaut (talk) 09:40, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The plot section doesn't need references and non-plot material -- (Benicio del Toro), the world-renowned Shakespearean actor-- should be located outside of the plot section. This edit summary, reverting Archiver of Records, is not appropriate. I moved the non-plot material out of the plot section.[2] -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chiropractic article

Dear Wikipedia,

I am a Chiropractic Student and your article has false information on it, it is misleading and does not explain what chiropractic really is. Why can we not edit the page? And also why does the page keep being changed back if someone changes it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Askaz (talk • contribs) 09:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the Chiropractic article? The article is under semi-protection due to persistent vandalism - presumably linked to efforts to remove mention of risks such as death which were referenced in reliable sources. Astronaut (talk) 09:47, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can post suggestions to Talk:Chiropractic but beware that it is one of the most discussed articles with around 10 MB talk archives. As a chiropractic student you may have a point of view which will not gain consensus on the talk page. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:32, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to this article, we would like to point out certain points the cited reference's are of dated sources and span over an extended time frame (>50yrs). While we agree that no from of intervention is completely free from complications, it would be unfair to single out Chiropractic as being a dangerous profession of technique. If the data is truly assessed, it will show a very low incidence rate of <0.001% over the total number of procedures conducted. We also wish to highlight that deaths associated with healthcare in general will demonstrate that chiropractic is a safe and sound procedure compared to death associated with surgery and misuse of pharmacogenics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Askaz (talk • contribs) 21:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can produce reliable sources which support what you are saying, then it should certainly be in the article. If it is controversial (i.e. opposing views exist and are also well-supported) then opposing views should also be discussed. Different views should not necessarily be given the same weight in the article: it depends how prevalent they are in the field. In any case, the right place for this discussion is on Talk:Chiropractic. --ColinFine (talk) 23:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Am only using this medium to plead with Yakubu Gowon to please assit me to locate my family from Alimi's family from Ilorin since my dad did not allow any of his children to associate with Ilorin though have been to Ilorin but that was before he told me the story.

How do I fix a broken link on an article

188.222.84.89 (talk) 16:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Setting up an account is good but not required. Wikipedia uses perhaps a bit unintuitive system where the link to the reference is introduced in the text, where there is the little number in the box that directs the user to the actual source, instead of the links being in the bottom where they're seen in reading mode. WP:REF has more instructions on citing sources. If you like, you can just drop the replacement link here and I'll add it to the article. Thanks for spotting the rotten link, by the way. If you do so in the future and don't have a replacement link, you can use the {{deadlink}} tag to notify others about it. Zakhalesh (talk) 16:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see you posted the link here already. I fixed it in the article. Thanks for your contribution! Zakhalesh (talk) 16:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How do I change fonts/font sizes?

Which template for ambiguous references?

Which template do I use to mark that the references provided are unclear (they just have author, year and page but there's nothing that says where the author was writing)? RJFJR (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{Full}} and some others are listed at Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup#Inline with article text 5. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's got a lot of ambiguous footnotes. I followed your suggestion and it led me to {{Citation style}} whioch seems to be what I wanted. (The article was Controversies involving Donald Bradman .) RJFJR (talk) 17:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can copy the relevant full references from Donald Bradman#References. It looks like Controversies involving Donald Bradman was split from Donald Bradman without copying the full references of the latter which uses WP:CITESHORT. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks. (I knew the list of sources was missign but it didn't occur to me to check if the article was split from soemthing.) Thank you. RJFJR (talk) 18:03, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've taken care of it, could someone check to see if everything matches up and if so remove the template? Also, I couldn't find the Whimpress book in the list in the Donald Bradman page, but there is only one book on cricket by Whimpress alone mentioned on Wikipedia, so I put that one in.

Naming a page issue

Hello - I have a question about naming a page -

I'm writing a page on a person, and he is a "Jr." say Bob Smith, Jr. - so I first put the name in as Bob Smith, Jr. - but he get's listed under the "B" for Bob instead of "S" for Smith, so I tried the other way Smith, Jr. Bob, but then it makes it look like his name is Jr. Bob Smith - what is the proper way to handle this on the title and so that it pulls correctly with the last name Smith, Jr. and the first name Bob (in categories and such) Also - there is no middle name.

Use Template:DEFAULTSORT. - David Biddulph (talk) 17:20, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)There is a template {{DEFAULTSORT}}, which sorts the name properly. For example "Bob Smith, Jr." would be "Smith Jr., Bob" if you write {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith Jr., Bob}} under the article.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:23, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in some templates such as Template:WikiProject Biography, the |listas= "is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Elvis Presley, |listas=Presley, Elvis, so that the talk page will show up in the P's and not the E's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter.

Using the sandbox to Autoconfirm 'fake' accounts

I have this idea. Can you make Wikipedia to where a person that uses the sandbox cannot be Autoconfirmed?

I used the sandbox and it Autoconfirms me.

So, if a vandal used the sandbox to Autoconfirm their account, they can vandalize protected pages. So, can you make edits to the sandbox not count?

I only want to see the Autoconfirmed ones make trusty edits, not 'test edits'.

--Moseyman (talk) 18:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way for the software to do that. Autoconfirmation is easy enough to attain that making sandbox edits not count would probably not be a significant roadblock. TN X Man 18:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Autoconfirm requires the editor to have been registered for what, three days? In addition to the edits, that is. Sandbox editing only removes a part of the obstacle from vandals. Zakhalesh (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Just below this note, I'll leave some standard advice on images.

If you want to add an existing image to an article, add [[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text.]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information.
If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must determine the proper license of the image (or whether it is in the public domain). If you know the image is public domain or copyrighted but under a suitable free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image (sign up). If you are unsure of the licensing status, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy. I hope this helps.
