Page is protected from creation

I would like to redirect TVFilthyFrank to Joji (musician) but it is protected from creation. Koyyo (talk) 07:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Broken image link to an image on Commons

Hi, in the article Luftnachrichten Abteilung 350, I broken image link. I don't know why it has happened. The image definitely exists of Wikipedia Commons, I can see it, but for some reason, it is not linking to it. It is one of a series of image I had built before New Year, one of about 20, and they are all linking fine, but this one isn't for some reason. The image is called File:Luftwaffe Radio Communication Network of VHF and Radar Intercept Out-stations, Signals Regiment South.svg Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 15:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There were 2 instances of the image, one immediately after the other but with a slightly different caption. This edit by User:Cyfal changed the 209.105.155.85 (talk) 18:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC)capitalization209.105.155.85 (talk) 18:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC) and broke the transclusion of the image. In one of your later edits you corrected the capitalisation of one instance and that was then working though the other wasn't, but in your next edit you removed the correctly capitalised version and left the wrong version in place. Another editor has now corrected it for you. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:58, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much @David Biddulph:

Should there be a category King's College School, Strand?

I notice the Category:People educated at King's College School, Wimbledon includes people educated at King's College School before it moved to Wimbledon in 1897, e.g. William Henry Preece. I don't know anything about categories, but my finger is itching to remove the claim that he was educated in Wimbledon. Is there a better category? Should there be?

TwoTwoHello Renaming of category proposed at CfD : Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:16, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That will be much better. Thank you Bhunacat10. TwoTwoHello (talk) 12:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can this article be used a reference for LGBT rights in Angola?

Would this article from today change the article a bit on wikipedia: https://www.jurist.org/news/2019/01/angola-decriminalizes-homosexuality-bans-discrimination/ 50.68.237.196 (talk) 17:38, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, IP user, I think it does. Thank you for your contribution. You can edit the article, citing the source with the new information; or if you are not confident doing that, make a suggestion on Talk:LGBT rights in Angola. --ColinFine (talk) 18:32, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with ColinFine, source looks ok. Note that "approved a new penal code" does not necessarily mean that the law has actually changed yet. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please add the reference in? Please? Also I would like to point out I find it funny that it says homosexuality is legal in Angola in the LGBT rights in Africa article but not in the Angola article. Apparently maybe the articles need a little tweaking. 50.68.237.196 (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That page may be a little to quick, there may be the possibility of a presidential veto of something. I don't know how this works in Angola. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:33, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, wise and gentle folks ... can any of you point me to a template for creation of a biography? I see these pages all the time with a box on the right side for personal data: born, married, spouse, offspring, etc and then on the main space a nice structure with early life, education, etc ... would be much obliged if you'd help out ... would make my task easier and contribute to a better wiki, won't it.
