2019 Pac-12 football season template

Can you change the Pac-12 football template from red to blue because there's one team. 68.103.78.155 (talk) 02:03, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

could you provide a link to what you are referencing? WelpThatWorked (talk) 05:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like they are impatient for someone to create Template:2019 Pac-12 football standings. —teb728 t c 06:10, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I thought he meant the template was red, not the link :P WelpThatWorked (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and created it. Not sure whether the teams in each division should be realphabetized or left in the 2018 order. Someone else's fun...Naraht (talk) 13:37, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

False information posted

I just googled about the relations between Mexico and the US and it said (in summary) that a secure border is mandatory for bipartisanship. That a wall is necessary? Which is clearly political. How can I complain that it is false information? I don’t want to update the information, just flag it. Is that a possibility?

Thanks,

Discography for Shakila Karim and not showing up on the page

Help:Cite errors/Cite error included ref Just updated the discography for Shakila Karim and it's not showing up on the page. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newworld2007 (talk • contribs) 13:22, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit you added empty reference tags. I see that you've removed one of the tags, but you need to remove the others. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You also removed the termination from a table, but another editor has cured that for you. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @Newworld2007: In one of your edits you removed the '|}' that closed the table. Also you linked to a page about the power source Electricity rather than a song. Eagleash (talk) 13:38, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Portals overwhelming our community page?

YouTube Sign

Hello wikipedians, Is there any Icon/Logo/Sign for YouTube which I can use it instead of writing Youtube in links? Thank you for reply.Gholaghabijan (talk) 15:17, 22 December 2018 (UTC)بیژن[reply]

@Gholaghabijan: In what context? Within the context of Wikipedia, no, you need to type in the link -- which really doesn't matter too much because most Youtube videos are not reliable sources. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:25, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I want it for External link. I guess this is a good graphic design in online encyclopedia.Gholaghabijan (talk) 15:42, 22 December 2018 (UTC)بیژن[reply]

@Gholaghabijan: It's not often that Youtube links are appropriate external links either: see WP:ELNO. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The answer is no we don't put a logo or image with youtube or other linos. Legacypac (talk) 11:52, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should Template:cite press release be used for quoted texts?

I was looking for a S&P original report on the effects of the October 2013 shutdown on the economy but could only find full quotes of the report such as this one. Should I use Template:cite press release or the more general Template:cite news since the reproduction is on a news website? —The Editor's Apprentice (Talk•Edits) 18:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I do not any press release here. Ruslik_Zero 19:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neither do I :D Lourdes 07:13, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request to restoring an article

How do I request for a deleted article to be restored?--SirEdimon (talk) 20:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Deletion review to try to have one restored to the encyclopedia - or talk to the administrator who did the deletion to possibly get a copy to work on and make improvements. Rmhermen (talk) 21:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. The admin, as I can see based on his contributions, is pretty much inactive. This why I asked here. Thank you for your kind help.--SirEdimon (talk) 23:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Archive issue

Hi, I'm trying to use Lowercase Sigmabot III to archive my talk page, and it's not working! Please help, before I get drowned under all these sections!
Thanks, CrazyMinecart88 (talk | contribs) 21:52, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CrazyMinecart88: The archive location must be a subpage of the talk page. Fixed in [1]. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:51, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Diego Simonet

Hi, I was looking at Diego Simonet and something is wonky with the infoboxes but it's beyond my level of expertise to fix it. Could someone help? Thanks. Red Fiona (talk) 23:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Redfiona99: The embedded infobox was missing | embed = yes.[2] See Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed. The parameter is shown at Template:Infobox officeholder#Embedding other templates but not documented at Template:Infobox handball biography. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:55, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
