Hi
Does anyone know the steps I would take to uploading a crop of an original work belonging to another user (previously uploaded on the Commons) to a different destination?
To give context, there is an image of two musicians titled by only one of them. I'm only trying to have a crop of the one for a BLP I'm working on. HeyitsBen(talk) 07:11, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
The above section states: "When a plain picture appears in text, it is aligned so that its vertical middle is roughly where the center of a lower-case "x" would be; if the image is larger than the line is tall, it sticks out both above and below." — However, the example given there uses upper-case Xs at the beginning and the end: X[[File:Flag of Hungary vertical.svg|baseline|8px|Vertical version of horizontal tricolor flag (red, white, green)]]X

option. Maybe adding a line break in that documentation would make it more clear. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2019 (UTC)My submission of an article entitled "Joseph Harriss" has been bogged down for months because a certain Lopifalko says it does not cite reliable, independent sources for comments on my four published books. On the contrary, I cite comments from the likes of The New York Times, Scientific American, Los Angeles Times, etc. I seem to sense that Lopifalko is hostile to this article, for reasons unknown. Can anyone resolve this, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wordcobbler (talk • contribs) 15:55, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
I was trying to edit the Labrador Retriever article, and took a long time to edit it, in part because I looked checked some references looking for a particular statement. In part because I briefly walked away from the computer, but stayed in the same room. While editing the article, I used the preview and view changes buttons several times. Finally, I clicked publish changes... and nothing happened. I tried again. Nothing. I tried again. A few seconds of waiting. Then nothing. Then I tried to preview, that worked. Tried to save, didn't work. Then I tried to view the changes, and it said there were none. Then I opened the article's history page in another tab. And found the edit I'd just made. this edit. Is this normal? It hasn't happened to me before. Also, am I asking in the right place? – Pretended leer {talk} 19:58, 18 August 2019 (UTC) By the way, it also happened while saving the question. But then I didn't click save more than once, because I realized maybe it had been saved, and then I checked. – Pretended leer {talk} 20:10, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I have gathered information about a reputed college in Lucknow, which I have found relevant to provide information across our nation to know about but i can see that my published information has been rejected and I dont have any clue why this information has not been accepted. I have been trying to provide more information about the different educational institutions in India. However, i would request you please guide me stepwise so that i can provide useful information to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamanauthor19 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
