Hi,
I am trying to add an image to the typebox of the page "Tommy Nelson (Actor)" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Nelson_(actor) but it has my caption on the side of the image instead of below. Could someone please fix it and let me know what I did wrong so I can correct it myself if this were to happen again? Thank you.
Sincerely,

Hi,
Thanks for doing that! I greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
In ref 1 - the quote - there should be a gap between the words Shawn and umpire. Please do this. I cannot. Thanks 175.32.219.132 (talk) 02:31, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
(Re-posted to generate response}
Where is the full documentation for ((AFC submission))
, for example, explaining how to generate and interpret cv-cleaned| u=... |ns=...
, and where is the wiki markup generated by these parameters stored, so I can de-lint it or at least request others to de-lint it? —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
cv-cleaned
means copyright violation cleaned up. It's made manually. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions#Step 1: Quick-fail criteria. Expand the box and then expand "Copyright cleanup instructions". The text produced by this and many of the other parameters is in ((AFC submission/comments)). | u=... |ns=...
is the submitting username and the namespace number, added automatically by ((subst:submit)). I don't know whether it's documented. If you say the linter issue then maybe we can give better help. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:56, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
cv-cleaned
includes <p>[[File:Symbol opinion vote.svg|20px]] This submission has now been cleaned of the above-noted copyright violation and its history redacted by an administrator to remove the infringement. If re-submitted (and subsequent additions do not reintroduce copyright problems), the content may be assessed on other grounds.[[Category:AfC submissions cleaned of copyright violations]]<kbd></kbd>
, and has a missing end tag for <p>

As far as I know, unregistered users can only start a new page with AfC. However, this IP (47.147.132.20) seems to be creating articles on redirect pages (like this).
I'm not really sure what the protocol would be here (IPs can't/shouldn't start articles on redirect pages, right?), and I was going to leave a message on their talk page. Should I just rollback their edits and leave them a message that they can retrieve their text from the edit history, and that in the future, they need to go through AfC to create an article unless they're a registered user? Is there a different action I should take instead? They have multiple "articles" they've already started to create on redirect pages. - Whisperjanes (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Here is the page I am referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_conferencing_software
I simply wanted to finding that compared ALL of the options we Americans have to choose from ... But then I did not see one called "Doxy.me" ------> https://doxy.me
And so I am wondering if you can please ADD this viable option to your list of choices presented?
And if this is something that only I can initiate, then what are the steps to do so ...
I was hoping that your team there could make the addition if I pointed out that it was a missing element of that page.
Thanks for letting me know how these types of content evolutions are made there at Wikipedia.

I asked a question on here on WikiProject Countries. However, that WikiProject doesn't seem to be active since the last few questions haven't receive a response. Where would be another place to ask this question? Interstellarity (talk) 12:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I made a page but it was deleted and there is no record of it online. Is there a way to reinstate it or someone to reach out to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyassist (talk • contribs) 19:49, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

My user name is User:Ltwin, but I couldn't edit without signing out. A few minutes ago while logged in and clicked on some articles on my watch list. Instead of seeing the articles, I only saw this error message reproduced below:
Database error A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.
[Xou6YwpAICoAAIrNMsAAAABE] 2020-04-06 23:25:24: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"
It happened when I tried to post about it at the help desk. The only time it doesn't happen is when I'm logged out. Is this happening to other people? 2600:1700:7620:9F00:9CBE:3E3C:A058:1AA2 (talk) 23:31, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
My dad used to have a Wikipedia page and I went to look at it recently and it was gone. Is there a way to find out why it was deleted or what happened to it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.177.142.20 (talk) 23:48, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Thomas Apple's page. He helped create the Nasdaq stock ticker and the Nasdaq wall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.177.142.20 (talk) 00:24, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
If I get other credible sources can I get the page back up? Or could you send me what was on the page so I can keep it for my personal records? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.177.142.20 (talk) 00:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
