Helped The infobox for Thérèse Cadorette has this error: "Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character". I think that the accents on the e's is likely what is causing the issue. However, the name should keep the original spelling in the infobox. Is there anything I can do to get it to work? Clovermoss (talk) 00:18, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Helped This is from the article on Fear Effect. Since I may play this game sometime and don't want it spoiled for me, could somebody else please split it?
"Hana arrives in Hong Kong accompanied by her partners, Royce Glas and Jacob 'Deke' DeCourt. What begins as a simple snatch and grab turns into a fiasco: The father of the runaway, Mr. Lam, attributes his fortune and power to a pact he made with demons long ago. Wee Ming, who is a paper doll given life, has been scheduled to serve as a sacrifice to Yim Lau Wong, the mythical "King of Hell". Hana's contact inside Mr. Lam's organization, Jin, is discovered, tortured, and left to die with a bomb strapped to his chest. Hana frees him, but he is killed anyway shortly after. Meanwhile, Glas is attacked by a VTOL jet and forced to flee into Mr. Lam's building. After avenging Jin, Hana is captured and beaten by Mr. Lam and his thugs. Glas is able to rescue Hana, and the duo make their escape where they meet Deke in front of the hotel they are staying at. While listening to Jin's last message for Hana, the trio are forced off a bridge but are able to swim to a junk. While sailing down a river, Deke spots Wee Ming amongst a burning village. Deke and Glas give chase while Hana gets dressed, but all three are soon separated by the undead villagers. They soon stumble upon a military train where the hostile soldiers shoot anyone on sight for fear of the villagers. Hana and Deke wreck the train trying to steal it, but Glas is able to find a jeep with Wee Ming sitting inside. She asks to be taken to a Madam Chen's restaurant, which also doubles as a brothel, hoping to find answers about her existence. When Glas is caught sneaking in the brothel, Mr. Lam surprises him, cutting off his left arm. At the same time, Deke is murdered while trying to infiltrate the brothel from upstairs. Hana sneaks in by dressing up like one of the prostitutes, where she runs into Wee Ming again after she had been dragged off by Madam Chen, who is working for Mr. Lam. It is then that Wee Ming's powers activate, after being splashed with Deke's blood, transforming the working girls and Madam Chen's thugs into demons."
From my brief scans of the paragraph, I think the sentence starting with "[t]hey soon" would be a good place to split it.--75.110.35.108 (talk) 03:00, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Helped I've never understood the formatting of maps on Wikipedia articles, specifically in relation to the location of towns and cities. For example, the infobox for Grasse has two options: a map of the whole of France, and a map of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Select one of them, and the location of the town is shown with a red dot. But when I click on the map to enlarge it, I'm presented with a larger version of the map like this, but one from which the red dot has disappeared. I understand that this is because the red dot in the infobox is not really on the map, it's somehow being overlaid on top of it. But what I want to be able to do is to view the map at standard size but with the red dot on it to indicate the location of the town. How can I do this? --Viennese Waltz 09:45, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
I uploaded a PNG file to replace a GIF, and planned on using the same details form the GIF article to poulate the PNG one - the details are exactly the same apart from the filetype.
In my haste, I made an error with the filename - but I can't see where to change it?

Helped Here is the problem:
When in article County Cork or County Limerick (two Irish counties), when I have the mouse over the link "County town" in the right panel, I can read:
"A los Angeles like town where the kardashians live in Great Britain or Ireland is usually, but not always, the location of administrative or judicial functions within the county."
Instead of:
"A county town in Great Britain or Ireland is usually, but not always, the location of administrative or judicial functions within the county."
Apparently the problem occurs whenever there is a link to County town, including in this question. I have no clue about what may be causing this.

Sir, Eman 235 has done an excellent job and found out the actual archive which would replace footnotes #11 & #2 with a single one. To see that please visit to Dr. Shamsheer's talk page.

Hello,
Help is needed. The wiki page eFront is about other ( affiliate marketing network ) eFront company, I would like to have eFront wiki page that's about eFront software company.
Since the name eFront, as well as domain efront.com, belongs to IT eFront company, can I just edit the existing wiki page with the right content?
Many thanks.

Hello, thanks for the answers! @Arch dude: that article ( eFront eLearning software )is about different company, eFront is provider of software solution for financial institutions. So, is it possible then to have one named eFront (marketing network) and the other one eFront - alternative investment solutions? If it is, the next step is request/creating an article? Thanks!

This is a follow-up question to the question I asked titled "*fD Discussions".
There I figured out anyone can participate in RfD discussions. My new question is... Are normal extended confirmed users like me allow to nominate redirects for discussion? James-the-Charizard (talk) 15:02, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Helped This one is from the page on Yu the Great:
"The dates which have been proposed for Yu's reign predate the oldest-known written records in China, the oracle bones of the late Shang dynasty, by nearly a millennium. Yu's name was not inscribed on any artifacts which were produced during the proposed era in which he lived, nor was it inscribed on the later oracle bones; his name was first inscribed on vessels which date back to the Western Zhou period (c. 1045–771 BC). The lack of anything which is remotely close to contemporary documentary evidence has caused some controversy over the historicity of Yu. Proponents of the historicity of Yu theorise that stories about his life and reign were orally transmitted in various areas of China until they were eventually recorded during the Zhou dynasty, while opponents of it believe that the figure existed in legend in a different form—as a god or a mythical animal—during the Xia dynasty, and morphed into a human figure by the start of the Zhou dynasty. Many of the stories about Yu were collected in Sima Qian's famous Records of the Grand Historian. Yu and other "sage-kings" of Ancient China were lauded for their virtues and morals by Confucius and other Chinese teachers."
I think the sentence starting with "[t]he lack" would be best. Could anyone please tell me if this is a good idea, since this would make the first half into a two-sentence paragraph, which may be too few sentences for a paragraph? Also, I understand that this is the sort of thing that generally doesn't require asking on the help desk, but, as I've previously stated here, I don't feel comfortable splitting paragraphs without the approval of others.--Thylacine24 (talk) 21:02, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Helped I'm trying to create a film article titled #Roxy but I'm being prevented from creating an article under that title. For the time being, I created a draft of the film article under the title Draft:Roxy (film). Therefore, my question is: how do I create the article with that title?
