I've seen a link to one somewhere. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 04:46, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
I understand that I already sent my first article to be reviewed 12 days ago, but I do not know if that actually happened. I haven´t received news about wikipedia about this.
Thanks for your help.

Is the article linked in the title eligible for deletion? There are no sources and the notability is questionable. 86.127.30.196 (talk) 11:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm trying to create a new page for the NGO I work for. Having a bit of trouble with the sidebar. The formate I'm trying to use is below. Any suggestions?

Claudia Tenney is an Assemblywoman in the 101st Assembly District not the 115th. The districts changed in 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.14.57.66 (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
I recently added a few links to retailers of the exact topics you were talking about, but they were deleted. Why, they were placed below other retailer, and I noted them to be retailers with a link to that appropriate page. Who and why is it decided that my retail links are not worthy of an open source platform, but others are?
Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finejewelersgo (talk • contribs) 19:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Sir or Madam,
Under the sub-heading Las Vegas Strip you have reported two entertainers who, upon their deaths, had the lights on the Strip dimmed as a show of respect for these two entertainers. They were Dean Martin in 1995, and Frank Sinatra in 1998. However, you neglected to include the FIRST entertainer to have this sign of respect accorded to him. That entertainer was Sammy Davis, Jr., and it was done in 1990. I remember it vividly because I was living here in Vegas at the time and the newspapers reported that this had never been done before. I can't understand how he was omitted from this particular Wikipedia reference, especially since he was the FIRST ONE. Please make the correction of this oversight.

Hi... I'm looking through the last few tech newsletters on my talk page, and I can't find when we lost Citations in the editing interface. The option was up above the editing area, with Advanced, Special characters, Help. It was so easy to just fill in the fields and hit submit, and have the template filled for me, not have to search for the template.
Is there any plug-in to add this back into MediaWiki? -- Zanimum (talk) 22:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Someone (Greeneyedsallie) is putting false information on the Wikipedia page for Aurora New York. The person is claiming that there is a public walking path along the lake. That is not true. The property is all privately owned except for several village rights of way that go to the lake. We own a portion of the lake front and it is not a walking path. I keep editing the false information. My edits can easily be proved by going to the Cayuga County Real Property page and looking at the tax maps, town maps, village maps. This person is trying to cause trouble.
How can we stop them? Thank you, Laura Holland — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laholland (talk • contribs) 23:05, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi I didn't know Wikipedia was so hard to use. There's no simple explanation for anything ... everything is like writing programming code. I have errors coming back to me about references etc. ... no idea why ... the online chat is also impossible to use .... I clicked on it and some kind of code comes back in text but there is no space for me to respond. Can someone help?

I could not agree more with this comment. Trying to find an answer on an editing point is like wading through treacle and hunt the thimble combined. Tracking down the answer usually entails going through pages and pages of information, linked to other pages going off in all directions, before you reach the answer, and even when you do, the answer is usually far from clear. Thank goodness there is a Help Desk. --P123cat1 (talk) 16:05, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

system. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:26, 17 April 2014 (UTC)Hi, I am preparing to edit a page on Wikipedia, and I'm practicing by putting my proposed edits on my sandbox. If I have already created a reference for one source, and want to use it again, is there any way that I can add it in there without it becoming a different number?
