Hi
I created an article in my Sandbox. It is my first one. However, it appears that it hasn't been looked at. I think I saved and submitted too?! Am I going wrong somewhere? Please help. It has been several weeks!
Thanks a lot for the help!

How can I delete my Wikipedia account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KPatrinos (talk • contribs) 03:15, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
I added a new section to Talk:Killing of George Floyd and the preview looked good. However, after I saved the article, the text at the end of Talk:Killing of George Floyd#Deletion of RS and dragging of Floyd's body. and at the beginning of the new section did not display, and the remaining text of the two sections was run together. I assume that there is something wrong with my markup, the other section's markup, or both, but I don't see it. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 04:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, does anyone have a clue why a draft of me just won't get processed ? I am now waiting for several months and nothing happens. In the german Wikipedia the exact same article was accepted within a few days and even improved since then. Are english speaking persons not interested in accepting drafts or is there something that does not get shown or that I oversaw?
Thanks in advance for any advice! Mr.532nm (talk) 08:42 12 June 2020 (UTC)
How do I find articles to edit?How also do I post my own articles?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kckanac (talk • contribs)
Hello fellow editors, do you know of any guidelines or have any tips on how to best edit/format an article so that it can be displayed very similarly across all (or most) web browsers, including desktop and mobile views? Otherwise, should I just focus on one browser (Chrome-desktop view for example) and not worry about the rest? My hope is to keep the articles I edit as tidy as possible for all of our technologically diverse readers. Thank you, History DMZ (talk)+(ping) 10:12, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
((Infobox))
, ((Cite))
, ((Convert))
, ((Val))
, {| class="wikitable"
, etc.) and the results should be good and consistent. WP:BROWSER and its talk page appear to have (possibly dated) info about problems with various things on different browsers. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 11:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Can someone download anything like Whatsapp and how???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2020-06-12T12:26:37 (talk • contribs) 154.158.231.53 (UTC)
Can you fix the error on the reference please. 68.102.42.216 (talk) 13:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
I was trying to add continuity to the page Gary & Mike but had it reverted by the admin, Materialscientist. Said it wasn’t “constructive” - that he was triggered by the by me yelling “REAL” and my lack of citation from my “Featured Music” edit. I’m okay with the “no yelling” rule. I asked him if this would work as a citation: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3JBRUNKVE0FCaOmh8gGZUd?si=F_dbwgsNRvKS-XYuZjOxHg
And if not that, what would work better, but he never responded. Your feedback? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christengo (talk • contribs) 14:29, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Nathan Bedford Forrest was indeed a notorious racist. History elucidates this very clearly and it makes me ill to see Wikipedia try to glorify him by leaving out that fact.
Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877) was a white supremacist, so I'm not sure where you got the idea that it somehow was (no pun intended) white washed or otherwise glorifying him. Praxidicae (talk) 17:35, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi I was trying to find the origin of pink salt, while looking at the concerned page and I could not find, is the information unknown to Wikipedia? Thanks

Londoner's Diary has been given a magazine infobox which has italicized the article name—incorrectly, because "Londoner's Diary" is a newspaper column and doesn't merit italic status. The parameters of the magazine infobox are otherwise broadly suitable: is there any way to retain the infobox while solving the italics problem? Thank you. Spicemix (talk) 18:46, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
|italic title=no

How often are you at the bottom of a very long "talk page" and have to scroll up to the top? Wouldn't it be nice to have a button that would take you to the top? That is way above my pay grade, but I am sure there are Wikipedians that can do it. John (talk) 19:53, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you. This will save me time. John (talk) 22:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
