Tracking video views?

Is it possible to see how many times a video has been viewed? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 00:16, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You could use the Page View Analysis tool and put the video file name in the appropriate section. For example, to know how many times has the video File:Wikipedia User Name MEDIUM.ogv been viewed, place the term File:Wikipedia User Name MEDIUM.ogv in the space provided for the same. Thanks. Lourdes 06:37, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lourdes! Do you know if that counts how many people view it in the popup window, or just how many click through to the actual Filespace page? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 07:16, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shafee, the best persons to answer the query would be MusikAnimal and Kaldari, who maintain the tool. Thanks. Lourdes 10:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! Atlasowa has found the tool for the job: [1]. There's about a 30-fold higher view rate video clicks over views of the file page. Thank you! T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 10:50, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

wanting to contribute to a discussion page and make a correction, but accidentally made an edit, (now deleted) but still wanting to make a correction

Extended question content

Dear Wiki editors, regrading your "Rabbinical translations of Matthew", the following is for discussion, not a contribution, at least not at this stage. The comment that Munster "... had received a text of Matthew from Spanish Jews he had converted to Christianity in the 1530s", has been awaiting a citation since May 2013. According to tyhe edits pages some years ago this sentence was changed from "1550s" to "1530s", as a date in the 1550s is clearly impossible since Munster published his edition in 1537. The original "1550s" Wiki' comment goes back to the previous Wikipedia page "Hebrew Gospel of Matthew", which was changed to "Rabbinical Translations of Matthew" about 2006. I have not been able to trace the original Wiki' edits of the now merged and deleted page "Hebrew Gospel of Matthew". Is there some way to find out which Wiki' contributor first introduced this concept into these pages? If there is evidence for the assertion it would be good to make it available. The original contributor did go on to say in the next sentence, "Apparently....", but I suspect the whole assertion is a conjecture by a contributor looking for a mechanism of the Spanish Shem Tob's text being linked to the Munster and du Tillet texts. However, apart from a few superficial and easily coincidental convergences of Hebrew idioms, some shared recoginsed Old Testament allusions, and some shared variant readings (also shared with some early versions, especially the Old Latin), the Shem Tob and Munster/du Tillet texts are very very different. The inaccuracy of this whole conjecture is perhaps in keeping with the obviously inaccurate date of the "1550s". Perhaps the most recent published peer reviewed research in this field is by Dr Eran Shuali of the University of Strasbourg, who has adduced a lot of evidence that Munster reconstructed his text from Matthean excerpts mainly (if not entirely from) the polemic known as the Nizzahon Vetus, with Munster adjusting the Hebrew of the Nizzahon where its paraphrasing deviated significantly from the Latin Vulgate. Where the Nizzahon lacked any parallel with Matthew, Munster translated from the Latin Vulgate, often with some skill, but with a few obvious grammatical errors, errors which significantly are shared with Munster's other Hebrew compositions. Some of Shuali's work is easily available on he internet, and he is continuing to publish in this field. Other new peer reviewed contributions regarding the origin of Shem Tob's text have been published by Pere Casanellas and Harvey J. Hames, who present evidence that Shem Tob worked from an Old Catalan version of the Gospels which predated Shem Tob. This Old Catalan version is presently being re-edited by several Spanish and Catalan scholars. Note that Shem Tob lived geographically very near the Catalonia of that period in history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.75.105.19 (talk • contribs) 05:40, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You put your original message on the actual article. You realised it was the wrong place. You've now put it here, guess what? Its the wrong place. You need the article talk page. This link - Help:Talk pages - will explain how to find and use article talk pages, along with the conventions to follow, eg New messages go at the bottom of the page. - X201 (talk) 07:51, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Published Author notability?

I'm sorry, it's been ages since I edited regularly and I'm having trouble finding information on notability of published authors? https://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/authors/charlie-cochet-112 Or https://www.google.com/search?q=charlie+cochet&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS703US703&oq=charlie+cochet&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.7985j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

See WP:BASIC and WP:AUTHOR. I haven't examined Charlie Cochet. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:10, 26 September 2017 (UTC

Notice also the distinction between the criteria for authors (and other creative professionals) and those for Wikipedia:Notability (books). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.217.210.199 (talk) 13:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Cite errors/Cite error included ref

I would like to add a tag for my Fight The Power reference on Teddy's Jam as the former was the first to sample the latter.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Edomrak52 (talk • contribs) 14.05, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello Edomrak52. Each instance of "<ref>" before a citation requires a corresponding "</ref>" after the citation. However, the source you linked, a YouTube video, probably infringes on copyright because there's no evidence the uploader acted in an official capacity. Wikipedia prohibits linking to suspected copyright violations, so I have removed the reference for now. Maybe you can find an alternative.

New Orleans Fire Department logo

Wikipedia was using the wrong logo for the New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD). How can I go about detaching that logo so it is not associated with the NOFD. I deleted the logo from the showing with the listing on the NOFD, but I do not know how to insert the correct logo. Also the logo still shows up in the NOFD's gallery of photos. Can you please tell me how to do those things. This is my first time working with Wikipedia. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by NOFD office (talk • contribs) 16:53, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, NOFD office. You will need to change your username, because right now it implies shared use; "John Doe at NOFD office" is OK. You can do so at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple.

Is the image File:NewOrleansFireDepartmentLogo.png a wrong logo? It is the one on the page New Orleans Fire Department and it looks like what one would expect. Please reply below, and sign your post by typing four tildes at its end (~~~~). Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 15:50, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarianism by country

Hello everyone, I edited this page, but somehow the table was moved all the way to the bottom and now I have no idea how to fix this, can someone help? Thanks in advance! Dreamian (talk) 18:07, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dreamian: Fixed it! When a table drops to the bottom like that, it usually means someone has removed the "end of table" marker, |} -- John of Reading (talk) 18:17, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so that's how it works, thanks John of Reading! Dreamian (talk) 16:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tom C. Clark HS in San Antonio, TX

In the list of athletic achievements, no mention was made of the 2 state championships won by the volleyball team.

Longest serving U.S. mayors.

Your Wikipedia on longest serving mayors fails to note Orville L. Hubbard among the longest serving US mayors; elected mayor of Dearborn, MI from 1942-1978 (consecutively); 36 years. Susan L. Hubbard. Thank you.

I added him though there are no exact dates of his tenure. Ruslik_Zero 20:30, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
