Tables

[edit]

In editing an article I am trying to insert a table. When clicking on "Table" nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by John K. Landre (talkcontribs) 00:35, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you clicking on "Table"? I don't see that word when editing. See Help:Table for general help. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably: Advanced → Insert → {table icon}; which yields (for me) a template for inserting a table. I don't know why the poster fails to get results. ~E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 04:54, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what I am doing: Advanced/Insert/{table icon} but no template for inserting a table opens up. Instead the cursor goes to the top of the page. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John — Preceding unsigned comment added by John K. Landre (talkcontribs) 18:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since the problem seems to be specific to you, Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) might be a better place to find a solution; however, it is fairly simple to do it manually. (My guess is either a broken toolbar or a browser incompatibility issue). ~E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 19:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The icon is supposed to make a pop-up box where you can choose the number of rows, columns and other details. What is your browser? Does it work when you log out? Do you have aggressive anti pop-up measures in your browser? PrimeHunter (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vietnam War amphibious warfare vessels of the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This category is for landing craft and other amphibious warfare vessels designed, built, or operated by the United States during the Vietnam War (approximately 1959–1975).

The USS Boxer LPH-4 also served during the Vietnam War in 1965 and 1966.

It is not listed on this page.

Your assistance would be appriciated by the numerous veterans that served on the ship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.81.129 (talk) 01:40, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears from USS Boxer (CV-21)#Post-Korea that it was only used as a transport vessel in the Vietnam War. I don't know whether that qualifies for Category:Vietnam War amphibious warfare vessels of the United States. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:56, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple authors in short footnote parenthesis coding

[edit]

So, I'm trying to properly cite the multiple authors to one work. I'm not sure what's going wrong here. Compare Note #19 to #16 or any other one properly formatted. How should I be doing the in-line footnote cites for coding? Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 2 Tevet 5774 02:28, 5 December 2013 (UTC) Edit: Also, multiple works by the same authors in the same year, please. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 2 Tevet 5774 03:01, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've made an edit to User:Flinders Petrie/Tel Kabri to fix some of the errors. Some of your footnote calls were missing "p=" or "pp=", and the citations needed "ref=harv" to make them act as targets for the links. The script User:Gadget850/HarvErrors.js is good for drawing attention to these kinds of error.
To make multiple authors work, you have to list them in the citation templates using the last1/first1/last2/first2... parameters, not in the unformatted "coauthors" parameter; and then list the surnames in the footnote call: {{sfnp|Smith|Jones|Bloggs|2009|pp=19-39}}.
For multiple works in a single year see Template:Sfnp#More than one work in a year. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia Pty Ltd

Your ownership and control bias is blatantly, rediculously obvious

RESUME of page Amir Mir carries some one else's picture

[edit]

Dear Wiki Editor Sunny Tidda can confirm the picture displayed on Amir Mir's page is someone else and not amir Mir, the journalist from Pakistan. his pictures can be googled and found easily, also attaching one sample.

File:Amir mir
amir mir journalist pakistan

many thanks and respond quick please — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunny tidda (talkcontribs) 05:12, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no picture on the page Amir Mir. If you mean the picture that appears when you do a Google search for Amir Mir, then that's a Google function, and nothing to do with Wikipedia. There's a Feedback link under the information box where you can report the error. Rojomoke (talk) 05:59, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Search for a word in articles in category x

[edit]

I'm trying to search for all articles with the word android in the category real time strategy games. I use this search word/url - http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=incategory%3A%22Real-time+strategy+video+games%22+android&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced but it doesn't list rymdkapsel which i know is in the strategy game. Why not? Or more preferably how can I use correct syntax? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.143.159 (talk) 06:06, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "German chemists" example at Help:Searching has the "incategory" term last, so I tried your search the other way round. The first attempt timed out, and the second returned 17 results including Rymdkapsel. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:41, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

list of Florida Islands

[edit]

Hi. I'm new to editing. Added three islands to list of Florida Islands giving reference as The Jacksonville Beach Historical Society. I had planned to add more to the list as there are many to add. I am unsure what I did wrong as within minutes the page was reverted without any explanation given. Is the reference insufficient? Should I have cited maps? I followed the same format. thank you, JamieIames (talk) 09:33, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You added an unnamed 37-mile barrier island, without a valid reference. You did add a reference, but it was to a society, not to a published work. And your reference was not visible in the list, because List of islands of Florida currently has no {{reflist}}. You also accidentally added your Wikipedia signature to the end of the mention of Boot Island. Maproom (talk) 13:28, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks, got ya. So, are islands to be listed without references on this page? If want to add the unnamed island should a ref list feature be added to page or is that messing with intent of page? Use a published map to reference islands if referencing required? Yep, don't know what I did to put name on Boot Island. Thanks again, JamieIames (talk) 19:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that intention of the list is for it to be like a disambiguation page, or a list of "notable citizens" at the end of an article about a city: it should only list islands that are notable enough that Wikipedia already has an article about them, so no reference is needed. But some over-enthusiastic editors had already added "redlinked" islands to it, with their names in double-square-brackets but no corresponding articles about those islands.
If you believe that the 37-mile barrier island ought to be listed on the page, it is rather different from wanting to add a small non-notable island. I assume that there is some question about whether it really constitutes an island. I would consider adding it to the article with a footnote justifying its "island" status (enclosed in <ref> tags like a citation, but leading to a footnote rather than to an external source), or discussing it on the article's talk page before doing anything. Maproom (talk) 21:59, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't I edit some pages?

[edit]

Why cant I update some pages? There is no edit box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zewix (talkcontribs) 10:41, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The pages may be protected so that only autoconfirmed users can edit them. Without knowing which pages you refer to, it's hard to say - but that's the most likely explanation. See here for a bit of help. I've also added a welcome template to your userpage which provides other helpful links. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If there is no "edit" link then the page is probably protected and you can click the "View source" tab to get an explanation and make a suggestion. Or do you literally mean there is no edit box when you click edit? PrimeHunter (talk) 12:32, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PeopleStrong Page : Content outdated

[edit]

The content of PeopleStrong Page along with the Icon used needs updation. Please let us know the procedure of the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeopleStrong (talkcontribs) 11:08, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What that page needs most is references to reliable published sources. It currently has none. While it has none, it is likely to be deleted. To add some, and to make other updates, you go to the page and click the "edit" tab at the top; but you should not do this if, as your username suggests, you are a person connected with PeopleStrong. If you are a connected person, you should go to the article's talk page, and describe there the changes that you recommend. Maproom (talk) 13:34, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a controversial topic

[edit]

Dear editors:

While checking through the old G13 eligible submissions from 2012 at Afc, I found the following: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sudhir Gopi. It looked as though it just needed a little more referenced info to be accepted, so I did a search and found this, this and this. Well, the subject and his company certainly have been written about now. My question is, should I let this article be deleted, or add this information and submit it to Afc? —Anne Delong (talk) 13:02, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would added the references, and some statements of what they say, and leave it to others to decide on creation. Maproom (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Anne, feel free to be WP:Bold. If you think a G13 eligible AfC submission should be moved to article space, then just do it. Moving it to article space mean that it will have been edited in six months, so G13 no longer applies (also, I don't think there is policy against do in this). I would just add the information and move the page to article space if I thought the topic met WP:N. -- Jreferee (talk) 15:41, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I understand how Afc works, and I've moved many articles into mainspace from Afc. My question was more about the notability of a subject who was not considered sufficiently notable before his company was discredited and he was deported. Does that make him more or less notable? It rather discredits some of the information in the older sources. —Anne Delong (talk) 15:58, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help with creating an article, it's been rejected four times.

[edit]

Good morning...I am in need of some assistance and understanding. I was directed to seek help here.

My colleagues and I have submitted an article for review 4 times now, rejected each time. The most recent feedback is suggested that "The references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability" and that we have not "used reliable sources, such as mainstream press publications." When in fact that's all we have is magazine, newspaper and similar references. We have 18 references, all from bona fide, independent places. The feedback is saying that it's not verifiable, which I can't understand.

Well, I am not sure how we can impact this. Because as they say, the references are what they are. We can't change them. This isn't a matter of word-smithing at this point. It's a matter of they just don't think our sources are credible.

Here is the article and feedback in question: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/New Heights Educational Group, Inc Resource and Literacy Center

Please provide us guidance. Ideally, I'd love to actually talk to someone about this on the phone, so I can dialogue and ask questions. But, an email response at minimum would be great.

Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.206.174 (talk) 13:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs reliable independent references that establish its subject's notablity. It currently has 19 references. I checked the first five of these. The first four confirm that it exists, but not that it is notable. The fifth (to the organisation's own domain, which is not independent) gave a 404, casting doubt on its continuing existence. I did not bother to check the rest. If there are references in there somewhere that do confirm the organisation's notability, I suggest you keep these and delete the rest. That way, editors will be more easily able to find the ones that matter. Maproom (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"We have 18 references, all from bona fide, independent places." Really? References 5, 7, and 8 are from newheightseducation.org.[1] How is newheightseducation.org independent from New Heights Educational Group? How many times have you been told that you need to write the article from Wikipedia reliable sources? Yet, the standard you want to apply is "bona fide" and "think our sources are credible." You link to websites without concern as to whether they meet Wikipedia Reliable Source standards. If you limit your sources to print newspaper, books, and magazines, you will avoid many of the issues you now are facing. The Journal Gazette has some source material. http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_multi=JG%7C&p_product=JGNP&p_theme=jgnp&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_dispstring="New%20Heights%20Educational%20Group"&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=("New%20Heights%20Educational%20Group")&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no as does the Dayton Business Journal[2] and The Toledo Blade.[3] The organization has been around since 2006, but the news reports only start as of 2012. Why was there no independent reliable source coverage for the organization first six years? The services subsection needs to be removed. The history section is on the right track. The prose describing the awards should be part of the history section. Get rid of that New Heights Educational Group: Summary table and instead use Template:Infobox non-profit. Your lead need not have any references (see WP:LEAD). Your references should be put in Template:Citation. The poor formatted footnotes makes it difficult for reviewers to consider your request and hides whether the source is reliable or not. -- Jreferee (talk) 15:30, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can't log in to main account

[edit]

I am unable to log in to my primary account, User:Smartyllama. My password does not work and the forgot password link isn't working either. It won't send the email. Eventually I logged in on this account, which I used to use to edit from public computers. But I want to get back on my main one. Dumbyllama (talk) 15:11, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Smartyllama has stored an email address so it should be possible to send an email with a new password at Special:PasswordReset. What exactly do you mean by "It won't send the email"? Do you get a message indicating the mail cannot be sent, or do you just not receive the mail? See Help:Logging in for general help. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did not receive the email. But I'm not sure I used the email address associated with the account, and it won't let me try another one for 24 hours. Dumbyllama (talk) 15:30, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Help Desk:

I'm Dr. Lewis' attorney and am assiting her in editing her Wikipedia page. Im trying to contact Sighola2 who appears to be doing most of the editing of her page and who changed the recent edits Dr. Lewis wanted made on the page.

How do I go about doing that?

Cynthia W. Sheppard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynthia W. Sheppard (talkcontribs) 17:40, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your starting point is to read Wikipedia's guidance on editing where there is a conflict of interest. After that the place to comment on changes is the article's talk page. - David Biddulph (talk) 17:52, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Cynthia W. Sheppard: You appear to have found the article's edit history, since you identified Sighola2 as a contributor. Next to Sighola2's name (and all editors' names) is a "Talk" link. Click that and you will be taken to the user's talk page. That said, please note that the article about Dorothy Otnow Lewis does not belong to Dorothy Otnow Lewis, it belongs to the Wikipedia community. So any edit Lewis "wanted" made can legitimately be changed by another user, provided that the user is editing according to our basic expectations of neutrality, the use of reliable independent sources and the exclusion of original research. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:53, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to reinforce Cyphoidbomb's post by pointing out that Dorothy Otnow Lewis has no rights at all with respect to controlling the content of the article. Lewis can however claim the protections specified by the Biographies of living people policy, which is strictly enforceable. All text and most images are subject to the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, the exception are imaged used in terms of the WP:Fair use principles, however such images are practically never used in articles about living people. Any legal disputes that may arise between any person and the Wikimedia Foundation (the owner of Wikipedia) are subject to the laws of the State of Florida, as that is the home state of the Wikimedia Foundation. Please note that if a legal dispute does arise, all parties involved in the dispute are prohibited from editing Wikipedia until the dispute is resolved. In terms of the No legal threats policy, threatening, or even implying a threat of, legal action in any post on Wikipedia results in the user posting such a threat being blocked until the issue is resolved. That all being said, I hope you have a pleasant experience here. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:47, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Using a forum as a "Reliable" Source

[edit]

My understanding is that citing a forum as a credible source is not allowed on Wikipedia. In multiple (multiple) attempts to address this on K&N Engineering, Inc.‎

Using the “Talk” page – reaching out to “editors” – “Edit”ing the page & including my reasoning – Even leaving a Criticism section/sentence but adding [citation needed] – And when that didn't work I added the

- I have been met with hostility and resistance from a couple of individuals.

I am now being told a Third Opinion (3O) has weighed in & the Forum citation is okay – so I best accept this.

When only a few weeks earlier a Third Opinion weighed in & said that Forums are NOT okay – better to list the [citation needed] reference until a legitimate source could be listed.

Based on the Wikipedia Rules/Guidelines it says: "Self-published sources (online and paper) Shortcuts: WP:USERGENERATED WP:USERG WP:UGC Main page: WP:SPS Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), CBDB.com, collaboratively created websites such as wikis, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users. "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. Posts left by readers may never be used as sources; see WP:NEWSBLOG. Self-published material may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications. Self-published information should never be used as a source about a living person, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP#Reliable sources."

I would be really grateful for some assistance with this situation. Thank you.

The best place to ask about this might be Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. However, looking at the article, it seems to me that there is a more fundamental problem - the source is being cited for something it doesn't say.

I added some markup above so your comment displays properly.
I have also removed your edit from the article because you did not actually supply a reliable source that supports the content
You can find out more information about citations and how the citation mark ups work at WP:CITE. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:41, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
More specifically, your edit introduces some of the markup "ref tags", which come in pairs, an open ref tag and a close ref tag. In between the ref tags, you will need to include the information about your source (at minimum, a url to a reliably published source, but preferably all the citation information possible: Author, Title, Publisher, Publish date etc.) However, you had not included anything between the tags and so the markup reader sensed that and gave you the warning. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:47, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Max Muscle

[edit]

Hi! The company I work with owns the trademarked name "Max Muscle" we would like the article that Wikipedia pulls to be about our company rather then the article that is currently existing on this link. We have an article that is currently being reviewed with the title "Max Muscle Sports Nutrition". Please advise, we appreciate your time!

Max Muscle

~Lindsey

Sorry, no, Wikipedia isn't interested in helping you to promote your company. The subject at Max Muscle is notable while your article is unlikely to be approved as you have provided no third-party sources showing it's notable. --NeilN talk to me 20:26, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c) Whenever there are more than one possible subjects for a particular term, we follow our Wikipedia:Disambiguation process. In this instance, I strongly suspect that the stage name of the wrestler is by far the most likely subject that readers will be looking for when they enter Max Muscle into the search engine and so that will remain the main article. When/If the article you have submitted is approved, then some form of the disambiguation options may be applied. Probably a WP:HATNOTE at the top of the current article that would offer the option This is the article about the wrestler who uses the name Max Muscle.

[edit]

hi I have been trying to insert an inbox in one article named renaissance Luzolo, I followed all the instructions but nothing is working. could you please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fusluzolo (talkcontribs) 22:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific about what article you're referring to? I can't find anything related to renaissance Luzolo through searches here or on Google. And this question is your only edit, so I can't even check your contributions. Maybe WP:INFOBOX will help you but beyond that, I think you're going to have to at least give us the name of the article that you're working on. Dismas|(talk) 22:18, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if this question is about the article Luzio Luzi. There was a failed attempt to add an infobox to it last May January. Maproom (talk) 22:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
