== ADD ENTRY TO CATEGORY == |
|||
How does one ADD an entry to an existing Category? |
|||
Example: |
|||
http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Category:Point_of_sale_companies&oldid=265275432 |
|||
We are fine with adding/editing/formatting pages, but how does one proceed to ADD an entry inside an existing CATEGORY? |
|||
For example, the CATEGORY "Category:Point of sale companies" has Alphabetical headers and then names within each alphabetical header. |
|||
How do we proceed to: |
|||
1) Add an Alphabetical Header |
|||
2) Add an entry under a new or existing alphabetical header? |
|||

== Mohamed Altoumaimi and Bernoulli numbers == |
|||
As of now Mohamed Altoumaimi redirects to the Bernoulli numbers article, yet there is no mention of him anywhere in the article. I am asking if [http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090528/od_afp/swedeneducationoffbeatiraq_20090528124335 this] is enough to merit his own article. I'm sure there is more on this kid, but I just happened to see him on the main page of yahoo, and came to see if wikipedia had more info. I don't want to start an article that isn't notable, and while I know the [[WP:NOTABILITY]] policies, I'm really not sure if this qualifies. If given the OK, I would be happy to write the article.[[User:Drew R. Smith|<big><font color=#900>'''''D'''''</big></font>]]rew [[User talk:Drew R.

|||
:He's certainly got some [http://news.google.co.uk/news?pz=1&ned=uk&hl=en&q=%22mohammed+Altoumaimi%22 news coverage], but I suspect he might still fall foul of our [[WP:1E|"one event"]] guideline for biographies of living people - i.e., he's known for this incident alone, and there's really not much else to say about him (yet). I'd think the best course would be to add a paragraph about him to the [[Bernoulli numbers]] article, rather than creating a new article.

== two questions == |
|||
1) What is the link for cross-checking the edit history of two users? I've seen it before, but have never used it. |
|||
2) I'm fairly sure a BLP is being controlled by one editor (close to the subject) operating at least three accounts. Is there anywhere I can ask for an outside opinion, or is [[WP:SSP]] the only place? |

== Getting an image into an article. == |
|||
[[File:Devries Monument.jpg|thumb|Devries Monument]] |
|||
I took an illustrative photograph (of the Devries Monument) with my camera today and want to put it into an article (called Lewes, Delaware). |
|||
When I tried, I was told to get an account on "Wikipedia Commons" and upload it there. I think I did that, but I'm not sure. It says "There is already an image with that name in Wikipedia Commons." But it doesn't say WHAT name, so I can't tell if it's my own that I think I may have uploaded, or someone else's. |
|||
In any case, I can't see how to get the image from "Wikipedia Commons" into the article on Wikipedia. Whenever I try to "upload image" to Wikipedia, it sends me back to Wikipedia Commons, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do once I'm there. |
|||
Incidentally, I know that licensing is a big issue, but the different options from which one must choose for licensing are really quite opaque. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mr.Slade|Mr.Slade]] ([[User talk:Mr.Slade|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr.Slade|contribs]]) 22:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

This isn't really a request for help, it's more along the lines of reporting a problem I don't know how to fix.

:This is actually intentional although I can understand your surprise. It holds for all searches starting with <code>Delicious:</code> when you activate "Go" instead of "Search" at the search box. It's the same for wikilinks like [[Delicious: Emily's Taste of Fame]]. <code>Delicious:</code> is listed as going to http://del.icio.us at [[meta:Interwiki map]]. http://del.icio.us then redirects to http://delicious.com/ The interwiki map gives an easy way to create links to selected external sites by typing a certain word followed by ':'. Occasionally this conflicts with wanted article titles here at Wikipedia. Then a Wikipedia article must use another name, for example [[Species - The Awakening]] instead of [[Species: The Awakening]], because <code>Species:</code> is on the interwiki map.

I notice that that specific article has 2 direct links in the body text to articles on the Korean Wikipedia, and I suspect that this is causing the problem; the foreign characters are being converted into unicode, and it is confusing your browser. |
|||
These links are coded like this: <code><nowiki>[[:ko:아사달|신시]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[:ko:낙랑|낙랑]]</nowiki></code> |
|||
They appear like this: |
|||
[[:ko:아사달|신시]] and [[:ko:낙랑|낙랑]] |
|||
As far as I am aware, using interwiki links in this manner is not the norm - but I'm not certain enough to remove them. I will therefore note the issue on the articles discussion page. <small><span style="border: 1px solid; background-color:darkblue;">[[User:Chzz|'''<span style="background-color:darkblue; color:#FFFFFF"> Chzz </span>''']][[User talk:Chzz|<span style="color:#00008B; background-color:yellow; border: 0px solid; "> ► </span>]]</span></small> 11:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC) |

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. |

I then changed the Summary to reflect the exact creative commons license that corresponds to the photo and I changed the licensing to read: |
|||

|||
:{{t1|cc-by-3.0}} |
|||
I don't know if I've corrected everything that needs to be corrected, but I know the photo has a creative commons license and I've pasted the license information in the photo section and I've included a link to the location of the original photo. |
|||
Can you tell me what else I have to do and/or remove the notice if I've done everything I need to do. I find that to be the biggest problem using Wikipedia. You have 400 page explanations on everything you ask us to do. Can you just provide a simple explanation that says "click on this, and insert such and such information and save"?

:::Also note that Wikipedia's instructions are the work of users much like you - every instruction page essentially says "Here is what we did". If you find something that is unclear, you can either edit the instructions to improve them, or leave a note on the talk page of the confusing instruction page pointing out what you did not understand, and then someone who understands the material better might be able to improve the instructions. Images and their licensing involve lots of complexity due to the international nightmare of copyright laws. I suggest that you write your own instructions on user [[Help:Subpage|subpages]] whenever you are piecing together procedures that require you to navigate more [[Branch (computer science)|conditional branches]] than you can juggle in your head. Since human [[short term memory]] is severely limited, it only takes a few conditional branches to overwhelm someone who is seeing something for the first time. In that case it helps to write down what you are reading and trying, rather than attempt to just wing it by pointing and clicking. We can only reduce procedures to pointing and clicking when the same procedure works for everyone. Unfortunately in the world of image files, almost everybody comes in with some new variation. --[[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] ([[User talk:Teratornis|talk]]) 08:15, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |

== wikitext bullet-point markup question == |
|||
Hello - is there a wikitext markup method for indenting additional paragraphs under a bullet point to match the indentation created by the bullet symbol? |
|||
Here is an example: |
|||
* A bullet point comment sometimes needs a second paragraph. But the use of the colon symbol for indenting creates a different indent that does not look like a continuation of the bullet point content. |
|||
:This is the second paragraph of the text, created with a ":" symbol. But it looks like a reply to the above content, rather than continuation, because the indent is further than the bullet-point indent. |
|||
Is there a symbol that will indent the same distance as the bullet symbol "*", but without showing the bullet? |
|||
I've reviewed all the wikitext help pages I can find and did not see this listed. |
|||
Thanks. --[[User:Jack-A-Roe|Jack-A-Roe]] ([[User talk:Jack-A-Roe|talk]]) 05:16, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |

Thanks for the reply, that's a cool feature but it's a different one. I'm seeking markup for something that would display as follows - this is a fixed width representation for illustrating the idea: |
|||
{{code|* This is the bullet point text first paragraph |
|||
content that occupies a few lines of text. |
|||
This is a second paragraph continuing the text |
|||
for that same bullet point, with the same indent, |
|||
as part of the same comment. -- signature here}} |
|||
It needs a symbol to use like the * but invisible, so it indents that same distance, but doesn't make a bullet. |

::::Copying content to another [[wiki]] can pose many problems. At least your target wiki is running [[MediaWiki]], eliminating the first huge potential headache. |
|||
::::* Compare the MediaWiki version numbers and installed extensions by browsing to [[Special:Version]] on Wikipedia and the target wiki. The more differences you see on those two page, the more potential problems you can have, depending on how many features the Wikipedia article uses. For example, if you see "tag bleed" on the target wiki when you port the article, that usually means the target wiki does not have some MediaWiki extension installed which would parse that tag. Only the most privileged administrators of the target wiki (who have shell access) can upgrade the MediaWiki version and install more extensions. |
|||
::::* You might also need to port the [[Help:Template|templates]] that the article uses, if they are not already on the target wiki. This can become quite difficult, if the templates use intricate code, and if the templates themselves [[WP:TRANSCLUDE|transclude]] additional templates. I have even seen some templates on Wikipedia that don't work correctly on other MediaWiki wikis unless those wikis are also running [[HTML Tidy]] which evidently changes the actual parsing of wikitext to some degree here. |
|||
::::* Compare the [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] pages on the two wikis. You may need to copy some CSS style classes to the target wiki, but only administrators on the target wiki can edit the [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] page. |
|||
::::Since it is likely that you may need help from the administrators on the target wiki, you might want to contact them early in the process and discuss your plans with them. There is no sense in doing a lot of work yourself until you are sure you can get administrative help if you need it. Alternatively, you can edit out any features from the article that don't work on the target wiki. The basic issue is that the [[English Wikipedia]] has been customized to the ''N''<sup>th</sup> degree, and many other wikis are relatively "vanilla" wikis without as many customizations, which makes it difficult to port content from here to there without losing many features you take for granted. --[[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] ([[User talk:Teratornis|talk]]) 18:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |
