helpme What do you need help with? Veinor (talk to me) 20:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm a newcomer and didn't know this page was here until 15 mins after I sent the message. I ended up sending it to the Talk Page (I think that is what it is called.) the message is as follows:

I've been looking for quite a while and can't find a way to upload a physics topic I have written an article on for Wikipedia. The original article is in Word, but I have also exported it to HTML. When I tried your quick and dirty converter (cutting HTML and pasting) into Wiki-whatever, all the equations got lost. I can also export the Word file into LaTeX, if necessary.

There are 21 main equations, plus lots of equation-like symbols throughout the text. Re-writing all this in your text box with the suggested math symbology would be a very time consuming effort I'm not into.

Is there any way to simply upload what I've already done?

I want to augment a stub that is only 3 paragraphs or so to 3-4 pages of completeness on the topic.

Finally, I'm not sure about this Help Desk thing, and hope I can find it. I was told to go to my talk page and input the need help text (which I did), to get someone who would chat with me right there. Well, when Idid that I then got a message that said input your question below, but there was no text box in which to input the question! I clicked on another link and ended up here. Not so user friendly for a newcomer.

Thanks for any help.


 * I would post that question at the Help Desk (click here). I don't know for sure, but I believe you will have to use Wikipedias tool to add a mathematical equation to a page.  See WP:MATH for info about that.  Good Luck! - Rjd0060 21:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
