Hello! I've been having a weird issue with the visual editor. Basically, if I select a lot of text and if somewhere in that text is a reference, I can't delete it. I can do it manually by holding backspace but not if its selected all at once. I tried updating and restarting Windows 10 but that didn't work, and my browser (Firefox) is up to date. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? TheAwesomeHwyh 05:09, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I recently acquired a small collection of WWII-Germany DAF, NSDAP & other items of the sort. The one item that’s making scratch my head is a DAF banner or mantel, that has a DAF patch sewn on. On the bottom of that it says “1940” & underneath that “VII-K”. Then a leather swastika patch sewn on the bottom area. The cloth used for everything to be sewn on looks and feels like a large pillow case that has been closed. So no holes no place a stick for a flag or hang as a banner. The “mantle” (lets call it that for now) has dirt marks like if a coal worker cleaned his hands on it or like an old school mechanic. Got off track a bit. What I wanted to find out is the numbers on it. Where the camps numbered in any way? I see you guys have them in alphabetical order but did the Germans numbered their camps?
Any help you can give me or if you can point me in the right direction would be a great help.

I did an edit on the entry The Party's Over (1956 song) and copy/pasted markup from the America the Beautiful article. To my pleased amazement, there appeared the treble-clef-with-score and stub message about missing referencews. I'd like to use this markup, but this rusty wikean is once again baffled on how to tweak the markup.
I've got my fingers crossed that the following markup from "The Party's Over" will illustrate the treble-clef with score:
According to the web-site SecondHandSongs, there have been almost 100 covers of The Party's Over [1], with various alternative lyrics.
Nope. Drat. The treble-clef with score doesn't show up.
Please check the entry The Party's Over (1956 song), preferably before it gets reverted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L d allan (talk • contribs) 15:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Nelson_Mandela's Arabic article is ar:نيلسون مانديلا.
I want to link arwiki, writing the English name, not the arabic spelling. For example, I hope there is a *** that makes [[***:Nelson_Mandela]] become the same as 2.

((#invoke:Wikidata label|getLabel |item=Q8023 |lang=ar))
produces Script error: No such module "Wikidata label".. I don't know whether you can get the Wikidata item of a page by giving the page name. If you want to display the language code then [[:ar:((#invoke:Wikidata label|getLabel |item=Q8023 |lang=ar| link=-))]]

Hi Folks, I have this ref from a German article: This is it: <ref>Heinrich Scheel: ''Die Rote Kapelle – Widerstand, Verfolgung, Haft.'' In: Hans Coppi junior, Jürgen Danyel, Johannes Tuchel (Hrsg.): ''Die Rote Kapelle im Widerstand gegen Hitler.'' Schriften der Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand, Edition Hentrich, Berlin 1992, ((ISBN|3-89468-110-1)), p.45</ref>
I want to try and format it. Its a article or chapter inside a book. This is the book:[1] You can see it is a series, and this: [2] is the entries in the Series:Schriften der Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand and if you search on it you find the article: Die Rote Kapelle im Widerstand gegen Hitler.. So how format it, start with cite book and so on. I'm not sure.scope_creepTalk 21:16, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
|lastn=
/ |firstn=
or |authorn=
. In these cases, the editor is the person who compiles the book – assembles the various author-writings into a book. The editor in these cases is often found on the cover and title page. Look at your source and you should see that. For your example perhaps:
((cite book |last=Scheel |first=Heinrich |editor-last=Coppi |editor-first=Hans Jr |editor-last2=Danyel |editor-first2=Jürgen |editor-last3=Tuchel |editor-first3=Johannes |chapter=Die Rote Kapelle – Widerstand, Verfolgung, Haft |title=Die Rote Kapelle im Widerstand gegen Hitler |location=Berlin |publisher=Edition Hentrich |page=45 |date=1992 |isbn=3-89468-110-1))
is doi:10.1038/333545a0 or it should be doi=10.1038/333545a0 ?
I seem to be having issues with doi in references

Hi there, someone set up Talk:It was a dark and stormy night with auto-archiving by month/year, but there's no search box or listing of the archives at the Talk page, and I can't figure out how to enable one. I'm usually pretty good at muddling this stuff out, but not so much this time apparently. Thanks for your assistance! DonIago (talk) 23:02, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
At this WikiProject message, I had a short concern. Then for the targeted page, so far some of the info came from wikia/ fandom. Which might raise a concern to WP:UGC. And I'm not sure what to do next? Since I edited there. One said to undo my edits. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
what do you do? If there was a new page made on the bases of MOS:TVUPCOMING? Based on info that was copied from wikia/ fandom. On this page or article if there is no refs/ sources saying a new season was renewed yet. But only the theme songs were vaguely announced that came from wikia/ fandom. Which I asked at this WikiProject. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 10:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
