I know the answer to one part of this question but will ask both parts. They both have to do with removing a notice of Articles for Deletion nomination. What should be done if a notice is removed, first, from an article, second, from an originator talk page? It is my understanding that if an editor removes the notice from an article while discussion is in progress, any other editor may replace the notice and is requested to replace the notice, and a template is available to warn the editor. The second part is whether anything should be done if the originator of the article removes the notice from their user talk page. My assumption is that the answer is do nothing, because the notice has served its purpose and does not need to stay in place. Is that correct? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:22, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

hello. i made an Wikipedia account a while a go and did couple of edits recently. i saved the password on my FF browser (and thats why i can write this here right now) but i have forgotten my password. a few days ago, when i tried to enter my account, for an unknown reason, the saved password didnt work. so i used forgotten password option. but nothing sent to my email attached to my Wiki account in return. (all websites usually send an email to back up email in this case so the owner could change the password)
i tried to change password option in my account, but it asked me my current password to continue. so i checked the saved passwords on my browser and write it down in password box of Wiki but it didnt work. Wiki says its wrong. probably because i have used the reset password option once!
so right now, i have an account and im in it right now but i dont know its password and cant change it cuz i dont know the current password!!! and the whole problem started because when i asked to reset password, no link sent to my email to define new password. i really dont know why! is there anybody there that can help me with my problem? please tell me what should i do? how can i save my account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faramarz.Ghassemi (talk • contribs) 08:50, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

(Push to talk) 13:53, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Hi all
I'm writing some guidance on working with experts to map what's missing from different Wikimedia projects. It includes useful things for Wikipedia, Wikidata etc but its all part of the same process so its not really possible to split it up into different Wikimedia projects. I was wondering about putting it on Meta and transcluding it to Wikipedia and Wikidata, is that possible?
Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing regarding the problem that occurred while I was trying to publish an article on your website. I clicked on the "Create an article" button, but it seems to be only a draft. I cannot understand the reason and would like to ask for your help in this case.

Hello experts!
In this section --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal_Television_and_Streaming#Lx <-- is a PNG image with a transparent background. The problem is, most of the graphic in question is white. Therefore what appears on my screen is effectively blank with the NBC peacock and a rhomboid of orange.
Is there a way in the Image: syntax of requesting a black background? Or any top-and-tail templates that would set the CSS background-color to something other than the usual Wikipedia white for this image use alone?
Or, as I suspect, do I need to ask the uploader to remake the image with a black background to make it visible to me on that page? ◦ Trey Maturin 19:39, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm trying to clean up references to broken links to Library of Congress country studies (there seem to be quite a few). For example, Rice production in the Philippines has a dead link to http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?frd/cstdy:@field(DOCID+ph0090) in the reference "Philippines: A Country Study:Rice and the Green Revolution". Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. June 1991. Retrieved March 21, 2009.. I'd like to find all links of the form "lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?frd/cstdy"... on Wikipedia. If I use google to search, it only finds bare URLs and not where there is a linked URL of that form. What is the best way to do this? Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:00, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

This example table has two types of cells. The text and the coding for font color and background color have to be inserted as many times as each type appears. Is there a handy way, with modules or with anything else, to define a type once and to invoke it every time when needed? --Theurgist (talk) 20:56, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
I have written the complete biography of Anita O'Day which is on Amazon. Also, it would be nice to have a pretty picture of her when she was young and good looking. Dorothy Poole — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:E01:C800:A569:E3E4:9FB1:E163 (talk) 21:26, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
