Request for assistance[edit]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am working on an article, and would like to add links to other Wikipedia articles. How can I do so? Also, I want to upload an image from the ROM gallery, and I am not sure how to cite it.

Please advise,

Sincerely,

I've posted a request for assistance for you at Wikipedia:Help desk#Talk:Plastered Human Skull. I'm not highly skilled at assisting new users, nor do I currently have much time available. But the help desk is watched by lots of people with both of those. :) So hopefully one or more people will be along shortly to assist you. - TexasAndroid (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:ORPHAN for advice on adding relevant incoming links. As for the ROM images, they appear to be the copyright of the museum (see the "© 2012 Royal Ontario Museum - All rights reserved" copyright notice on the website) so we cannot use them on Wikipedia.--ukexpat (talk) 21:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have tidied, and shortened, the text. I don't think I have changed the meaning; if I have it was a mistake. Maproom (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Singular vs. plural[edit]

I've tried to help out a little, but there is one thing that is confusing. The article starts out describing "the" skull, and "it" is in a museum. Is this the first of many? Is there any distinction between this one and the others which are discussed in the article? It seems most of the article is about the plurality of "Plastered human skulls". I don't know how to do it, but this needs clarifying. ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 02:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
