code to submit article

Hi there, I just made some revision to my article (added citations) what code should I include for it to be reviewed? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kasiaprada (talk • contribs) 02:04, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

External links to copyrighted (?) audio files

Can someone point me in the right direction, please, to ask a question about whether an external link is allowed to a 1960s EMI recording on the Internet Archive? An IP has added such a link to a Featured Article and I'm anxious to check that it is OK, or else remove it. Tim riley talk 08:50, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tim riley The complete guideline is Wikipedia:External links, and Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard could be the place to put a query. If your concerns are mainly over copyright, perhaps try Diannaa [not pinged here] who focusses on copyright issues: Bhunacat10 (talk), 19:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Bhunacat10. I'll do as you suggest. Tim riley talk 19:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to correct typo in name (title) of a wiki page?

How do I remove the hyphen in the name (title) of the article Greensburg-Salem High School? There should be no hyphen, according to the school's official site and that of its school district. I have corrected the error in the body text of the article but don't know how to fix the name of the article itself. This will have a spillover effect to several other pages, so I'd like to get it right the first time. Thanks! BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 12:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@BuzzWeiser196: See Help:How to move a page. If you're still unable to do it, make a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical. –Ammarpad (talk) 12:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to add new employer to new contribution

Hello. I am trying to add a new employer for a new contribution I am making. I found the old employer who had paid me for the last job I did on my page, but I am wanting to know how to add a new employer to my page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leahernandez12 (talk • contribs) 15:32, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On your user page you have used {{Connected contributor (paid)}}, but that is intended to be placed on the talk pages of articles and drafts. The template for your user page is {{Paid}}. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:39, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

... but not like the vandalism to Rudolf Virchow last month. That might not have been you, of course, but someone else using the same IP address, so it would be a good idea to WP:create an account. Dbfirs 19:22, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the lead article on the front page of wkiipedia

states, "John Rykener was a sex worker who was arrested in December 1394 " 1394? maybe 1994. Someonme should check it out. Soon. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 20:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can check it out yourself by reading the article yourself. It is linked from the main page. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Carptrash is (erroneously) believing this to be a typo in an article about a modern individual and thus requesting that we fix a glaring error. It really is 1394, and the article's about a late medieval individual. Nyttend (talk) 21:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Georgia

How does one get {{flagicon}} to display File:Flag of the State of Georgia.svg? {{flagicon|Georgia}} produces , the flag of the Republic of Georgia, and {{flagicon|GeorgiaUS}} produces a link to a nonexistent page. {{flagicon image|Flag of the State of Georgia.svg}} does the trick, but that's a good deal of extra code, and presumably there's a better way to do it. I checked the {{flagicon}} documentation, talk page, and talk archives, but I couldn't find anything. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: Try {{flagicon|Georgia (U.S. state)}} which produces

. If found this by drilling down from the flagicon docs into the various Country and US categories until I landed at {{Country_data_Georgia_(U.S._state)}} RudolfRed (talk) 22:15, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can now create Template:GeorgiaUS to redirect to Template:Country data Georgia (U.S. state) so that {{flagicon|GeorgiaUS}} can work; since it looks more easier to type and is plausible alias. –Ammarpad (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Potternewton

I cannot do this simple grammatical correction task on my device. Please - in this section "Gladstonian liberalism: religion and politics" - add the word "who" in the second sentence - i.e. "Darnton Lupton - who immediately ....". thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.33.45.21 (talk) 23:03, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
