Could someone create a shortcut from "Mischsprache" to "mixed language"? This is a very accepted linguistic concept. I'd done it myself, but I have no idea how. Nadav. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.108.93.181 (talk) 00:55, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

If I wrote a paper for school that does indeed have a bias, is there any way to have it vetted and then published to one of wikipedia's sister projects? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikigold96 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi!
Just noticed the whole global / unified login option in preferences. Since I have logins on meta.wikimedia.org, wikipedia.org, quote.wikipedia.org, wiktionary.org, and wikibooks.org, all with the same login (Falkor) and password, I figured I was a good candidate for unifying them.
When I try to do so, though, it tells me that the "Home wiki" for this account is at fr.wikipedia.org. What's up with that? Does this mean that someone at fr.wikipedia.org already did the unification thing, so I'm just SOL? Do I have any options?
Thanks. Ron. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falkor (talk • contribs) 05:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Since nobody answer to my question, and if you know the answer, please reply here. I need it for this disco. It would be great if there would be a reliable soviet cert (even if I am skeptical about this). Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 09:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

If I see another passerine as the picture of the day I'm going to scream. Who is choosing all these passerine pictures as the pic of the day? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oprah999 (talk • contribs) 12:04, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'm looking for a way to show two tables (see example), having the second table displayed right beside the first one, but without any space between them. When using the column function, there always is a white space between (them getting bigger with higher resolutions). Can the columns be set to the widths of the tables? Any help appreciated.

I have a wife who in 1989 was diognosed with malignant tummours in the brain. The DWP gave her a life expectancy of 6 months maximum. She has lasted 21 years as of this year and could survive for another 21 years. As age matures. (I am 73) we need aditional medical care but they tell us we hould pay. My stance is that we have always worked and paid our taxes and Private medical insurance which is no longer affordable. The principle of the Foundation of thye NHC is that care is Free when medical is the sypmtom and I quote the case of Pamala Conchron 2000 who had this reafirmed in the high court. Her situation was both Health and care and my wifes is the same and needs Continuing Health Care which should be given regardless of her savings. What do you think

I've noticed that the default font size is smaller on Wikipedia that many of the other web pages I look at, to the point that it is uncomfortable for me to read it. Can anyone explain where in Wikipedia or the Wikimedia software the font size is set? Does anyone know of a an explaination about how the size was chosen? Jc3s5h (talk) 15:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Add this to Special:MyPage/skin.css:
#bodyContent {
font-size:0.95em;
}

i looked through the questions on here and i didn't see anything that fit with my question... i'm think i'm having a problem adding a picture in information box thing for my article... when i put the link for the picture in the template and preview the article the picture is in the box but it has the link text and part of the caption on either side and underneath the picture in addition to the caption being in it's place under the picture... the extra text makes the box wider than it should be and the picture off center... it's my first article so i don't know if it's supposed to be like that while the draft is in my userspace and it changes when it's published or if i'm doing something wrong... i tried putting thumbnails in the article just to see if i'm doing something wrong but the thumbnails work fine when i link them... anyone know what i'm doing wrong or how to fix it... i'd appreciate the help--- Max bemis is pretty cool — Preceding unsigned comment added by Max bemis is pretty cool (talk • contribs) 21:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I can't find anywhere where you can talk to somebody about the possibility of a new page being created without making one solely on your own. To use a specific example, I was surprised that there wasn't a page on Ray William Johnson, even though he is much more well known than many other people who have Wikipedia pages for no other reason than that they are famous on YouTube. Not only that, but his show, =3, doesn't have a page either. I would say that being the second most subscribed user, with millions of views,is "notable." In addition, he plays a major role in the "Doin' Your Mom" song, and has had articles written about him in multiple online news sources. I'm too new, as well as too bored to find references and stuff, to make my own article though, and in addition, it would probably get quickly deleted anyway, because some admin is like "lol not enough references this guys a troll!" thus making me look bad as well.

Check it out, something is definetly wrong. I think it had something to do with messing around with my signature. SineBot starting posting on it, and then, there was some weird "Template loop" thing, it doubled everything and- can someone just take a look at it?

I recently expanded the article on ABC News Good Morning America presenter Juju Chang. However, the article is currently called "JuJu Chang" even though her official bio makes clear that it is in fact "Juju".[1] As I was correcting the capitalization of her name on other pages, I realized that her name was becoming redlinked, because there was no article yet with the name "Juju Chang". I created a redirect, only I made it redirect the correct version to the incorrect version. Now I can't move "JuJu Chang" to "Juju Chang". If there is someone reading this who has administrative rights, can you please switch the two? Thanks. John C. Boot (talk) 23:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
