Hello I want to change the current picture for a page....it is "keck school of medicine" I would like to change it to the official logo of the school. Have been trying but am unable to or don't know where to start — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noorbeik (talkcontribs) 05:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Articles draw images into them via a link. Change the link image in the article and you change the image appearing in the article. I made the change.[1] You might find Wikipedia:Transclusion an interesting read. The Wiki software allows editors to link in a second page to all or part of a page of text in a first page and make that same first page text appear in the second page. A lot of the Main Page is created that way. -- Jreferee (talk) 12:26, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I don't see the relevance of Jreferee's edit and post. Image: and File: do the same. It makes no difference to change one to the other. And transclusion is not about images. @Noorbeik: Keck School of Medicine of USC displays File:KeckLogoPositive.jpg which looks almost exactly like the logo at the offical site http://keck.usc.edu/. I only see a small change in the red color. Is that what you want to change? In [2] you mentioned "File: Keck_School_of_Medicine_of_the_University_of_Southern_California_USC_612748_i0.png", but no such file has been uploaded. Can you give a url to the logo you want? PrimeHunter (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did not see this edit's content and also mis-read Noorbeik's efforts. I think Noorbeik wants to use the logo at a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist (remove the spaces to obtain the URL) - http: //img3.findthebest.com/ sites/default/files/ 728/ media/images/Keck_School_of_Medicine_of_the_University_of_Southern_California_USC_612748_i0.png . Sorry for all the confusion. -- Jreferee (talk)

Dear editors: While checking through stale drafts at Afc, I came across the above submission. This lead me to the very short mainspace article listed above, which references a news report HERE. I found that much of the text of the Afc draft was posted one day earlier HERE, so I will be nominating this for deletion, but it seems that the mainspace article exists mainly to refute the other and has little content or references about this singer. What is the policy here, since this appears to be contentious? —Anne Delong (talk) 13:04, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the AfC article can be gotten into sufficient shape for mainspace, the two should be merged. Or info from the current Atilla Taş article should be merged into the draft, with proper preservation of editor attributions, if any text (as opposed to facts from sources) is merged. If sources support both names and both alleged nationalities for the subject person, then both should be mentioned in the final article, and talk page debate driven by sources should ideally determine the title. Or we could avoid work and controversy by deleting one as A7 and the other as G13, and waiting until someone starts a new article or draft, at the risk of omitting an article on a possibly notable subject, or of having a biased article if whoever recreates (if anyone does) does not source both sides of the issue. DES (talk) 15:24, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, anyone who thinks that the Afc article should be kept for now to save useful information should make an edit now, before it is deleted by the Hasteurbot, which could happen at any time. —Anne Delong (talk) 21:17, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citing the same source multiple times in one article

[edit]

I'm currently editing the Toxicity and environmental considerations portion of the EDTA wiki page and I wanted to cite a source multiple times at different points but instead of coming up as the same reference, the page generated a new source for each time the reference is cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.144.72 (talk) 20:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please remove again... I am the legal US copyright owner of the Pyramid Card Game. I do not give any concent on reprinting of my cards or rules on your cite.

This was removed befor in 2010. Please remove it again. No Creative rights provided. All rights are under Http://www.PyramidCardGame.com as well as the elctronic version in the Blackberry App store.

Please, Please stop the piracy of my card game.

Sincerly GKRSOFT.

The idea of the game and even the facts of the rules are not subject to copyright. Only the particular phrasing of the rules is subject to copyright, and that does not seem to have been copied or closely paraphrased in the article Pyramid (card game). Indeed, the rules listed in the article differ in some significant matters from those listed on the site linked above. The deletion in 2010 was not due to any copyright or trademark concern, but because an editor thought that the topic lacked notability. However, you could bring this to the attention of those who specialize in such matters by listing it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. DES (talk) 22:24, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir/Madam, I am in charge of editing CHARLES ASAMOAH also known as CHARLES PRINCE ASAMOAH, a Ghanaian footballer but unfortunately his page has failed to appear as the normal way your settings appear after every edit.

I have tried several times to fix it without success. Attempt to publish his pictures has also yielded any results.

Below is the link and I shall be grateful if you could help me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Asamoah

Thank you

@BressBiney: I have fixed the template syntax.[3] See Template:Infobox football biography. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:48, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But BressBiney please note that nobody is "in charge of editing" any Wikipedia article. If you mean that you have some connection with Charles Asamoah, and are editing on his behalf, please stop doing so until you have read about conflict of interest. --ColinFine (talk) 00:40, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
