What is the average speed on the autobahn. I heard that with crashes and waiting to clear them the average speed is quite low. Is this an urban myth or true?

I've had it lately with the false claims of vandalism anytime I try to add something on here. I have tried to tell you that I AM NOT LYING ABOUT ANYTHING I HAVE ADDED TO WIKIPEDIA!!!!!!! Yet you insist on saying that I have. If you bastards want to be like that then FINE!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I will never be using this piece of crap that's owned by NAZIS ever again!!!!!!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.128.163.54 (talk) 00:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

A couple of things:
Unfortunately the origination of the Burger Baron has long been contested. It was created by Allen Kemaleddine - I am in charge of Marketing and Public Relations for the Burger Baron.
Headquarters are not in Edmonton, they are in Lethbridge, Alberta. Although I've repeatedly changed the page, it is continually changed back. As this is an misinformation and detrimental to the succession of franchisees and potential franchisees, Burger Baron requests that you inform the creator of the Burger Baron page in Wikipedia to cease and desist as it is an infringement on lawful territory and misrepresentation.
Correct information as well as citations will follow.

I am currently in the process of expanding the article on the Paleolithic and i notice it has a tag on it that says "Please help improve this Article by expanding it" have i expanded the article enough to have the removed if not how close am i to reaching that goal?--Fang 23 (talk) 01:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Dear Wikiapedia Editors I have been trying to get a complete list of every person who has won each Stanley Cup for over 20 years. My list is almost complete. I know there are more people who receive Stanley Cup rings than can be engraved on the Stanley Cup. So it is impossible to get a list and could be well over 60 or 70 people. I have limited my list to four catergories. 1. Name was engraved on the Stanley Cup. 2. Included on the official team picture. 3. played 1/2 the regular season games that season. 4. dressed for 1 playoff game. By limiting the list to the above, I have my list almost complete. I have about only a handful of teams: 1902, 1903 Mtl AAA, 1904, 1910, 1911 Ottawa, 1906 Montreal Wanderers, and 1913 Quebec Bulldogs. I don't have complete list of non-players. When I found your list on Wikipedia I found mistakes, eg Toe Blake Coach - with 1969 Montreal. Blake retired after 1968 Finals. Claude Ruel was the coach. Brian Glynn listed as winning the cup in 1989, when he did not. There are missing names some players(eg 5 players for 1939 Boston), and almost all of the non-playing members. I found out I could edit your list. So I did. However, some of names have been removed. Why??? Wouldn't it be nice to have a complete list of each member of each Stanley Cup winning team, for fan too look at on the web. I have some names spelt wrong. Sorry I am bad speller (your list has help correct most of my mispellings Thanks.) I list them in order they are engraved on the Stanley Cup, almost always the Non-players are listed before the players. The trainer is listed before or after the players. I then include all player who qualify (1/2 regular season game, 1 game in the finals), this followed by injuried players, or dressed in the playoffs. Presidents, Owners, Ass't Managers, or Trainers who are left off the are also included, because they should qualify to be on the cup. Would it not be nice to have complete list on the Web for hockey fans to look and see each player, and non-player from each winning team. I am willing to add the missing names. Every couple of days I can add some more information on the winning teams. I not looking for credit for this, just a complete list of winning members on the web. Sorry If there are any mistake I not very good writer.

Hi, I did a Google search for "The Hamilton San Francisco" and was led to the following:
Tenderloin, San Francisco, California - Wikipedia, the free ... The Hamilton, on O'Farrell Street, is a 20 story former hotel which was the first building in San Francisco to be condominiumized and is owner occupied. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenderloin,_San_Francisco,_California - 69k - Cached - Similar pages
After reading the entire article twice, I could not find the Hamilton mentioned anywhere in it. My question is - What am I doing wrong, and is there a way to search within an article?
This has hsppened before so I decided to write to you.

I've uploaded Spratly_with_flags.jpg. That file is in public domain since it was from CIA. I modified the original picture and added flags to show the occupied islands in the Spratlys. However, I realized I need to re-edit the picture because the image i uploaded have flags which overlaps some text labels. I edited the picture and uploaded it with the same filename. However, it seems the old file is not totally overwritten. The thumbnail picture in the Spratly article shows the new picture. However, if you click that thumbnail, it will show the old picture. And then, if you click that picture to enlarge it, it shows the new picture. How can i fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Estarapapax (talk • contribs) 04:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The entry Una Canger has a Bibliography, I've compared it with http://www2.adm.ku.dk/kub/puf_www3.forf_pub_personid?p_person_id=77515
very similar - even "Geopgraphic" is the same in both, so is this legit to "copy" this info into Wikipedia? There's no copyright msg on the external page.
Generally, what about info from .edu.* sites? what about paraphrasing/synthesising info into topics?
TIA.

I can't find any instructions on how to remove the underconstruction template. (The FAQ site appears to be down.) When I click edit, the code isn't there, so I can't delete it, but when I click back on the page, it still says it's under construction. Thanks. Madanda (talk) 12:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Gee, sorry I mistook the Help Desk section for the New contributors' help page. Sounds like someone could use a little computer break... Better yet, how about just getting the FAQ site up and running? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madanda (talk • contribs) 13:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

No it's a spoofed email address (fake in otherwords) that makes you think it's come from one place, it's to get past spam filters. It's not from wikipedia (unless Jimbo has something he needs to tell us...) --Fredrick day (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I wrote an article on Madison+Main, which was moved to my sand box after it was deleted for blatant advertising and lack of references. I was wondering if you could look at the article for me and, if you feel it is okay-to-go, help me move it to the main portal of wikipedia. You can read the article here: Madison+Main in my sandbox.

I work for a helpdesk and I have several associates needing to share the same contact address book. One Associate updates and the two others need to access it. I know how to import/export but it seems to do that with ALL of their contacts and not just the one distribution list they need.
What i was thinking is having them save all the contacts in a shared folder on our network. It looks like it saves via a .rtf extension. However, I can not get this to work correctly. Any help is much appreciated.

Alright, this site is great for finding information i need and fast too. My main issue is priniting off this site. For papers and such for my high school, we have to ussually site the articles as well as bring them in. It would be amazing if you could somehow create a "printable version" like other web sites have, so i wouldn't need to print 18 pages of blank spaces and such. Also, if there IS a way to print an article without all of this hassle of cutting and pasting to a word document can you make it clear how to do so? Thanks

I've come across an article (Nixzmary Brown) wherein the author is using it as essentially a trial blog. I approached him once about it and he said he'd fix it later. It's been for style but except for daily trial updates, nothing else has been done. I can't find an appropriate "no news blog" tag and think it needs to be reviewed by someone, I don't quite know who or where to broach this. Any help would be appreciated.
