Welcome
Help me I am attempting to edit the page Dyno Nobel for my company. I am trying to learn as I go. I need to reference each page of our website a number of times within the page. How do I use the same reference twice without it showing up twice in the reference list? Jandyno (talk) 20:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You shouldn't edit pages you're close to, see WP:PSCOI. You also shouldn't cite self published sources, see WP:SELFPUB.  gwickwire  talk editing 20:59, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Jandyno, you are invited to the Teahouse
I am attempting to add a company logo to the page Dyno Nobel. I have successfully uploaded this document to Wikipedia. I then went into the logo section of the main page and pasted the address from the wiki file. All I get are the words Dyno Nobel Logo - not the logo itself. What am I doing wrong?

 * Fuhghettaboutit resolved the issue with this edit. The infobox doesn't take the full URL as a parameter, but only the wikilink to the image file. See Template:Infobox company for a full description of the "logo=" parameter. Huon (talk) 22:12, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Why is the dyno nobel logo working on google chrome but not internet explorer? Jandyno (talk) 15:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm unable to replicate your issue - the logo works in Internet Explorer 8 and 9. Have you tried clearing your cache? m.o.p  15:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * If you cleaned your cache, and this is still an issue, try purging: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyno_Nobel?action=purge

Thank you for your help! Clearing the cache did not work. How do I purge? I tried going to the link with no change or evidence of a purge. Do I need to go to an action page? Jandyno (talk) 19:51, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The purge doesn't give you any sort of readout saying it's completed, it just happens. The only thing I can think of is trying Internet Explorer in Safe Mode - otherwise, I'm not sure what to say. It still looks fine on my end. m.o.p  19:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again. My company uses an older version of IE - maybe 7? They refuse to update as it will mess up our system. Maybe that is the problem. Thanks for your time. Jandyno (talk) 20:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That's probably the case - IE, even in the latest editions, has quite a few problems viewing some pages. Try it at home or on a friend's computer and it should work fine. m.o.p  00:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I have uploaded some pictures through Wikipedia Commons, and I can see them in my uploads. I can't figure out how to add them to the page Dyno Nobel. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Jandyno (talk) 16:19, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Add them as you would any image hosted locally on Wikipedia. Follow the process on WP:PIC and you can add your image to the page. m.o.p  19:02, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

help me I have a legal document from the company, Dyno Nobel, authorizing limited use of the pictures on that site. Where do I upload this document so the pictures are not deleted from this page?
 * Limited use is not okay. We need a release under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. Follow the instructions at WP:CONSENT and have the copyright holder (the company) send that e-mail. gwickwire  talk editing 14:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I think I have fixed the two warning flags at the top of Dyno Nobel. How can I request a review to get these removed?Jandyno (talk) 18:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I have removed the "bare URL" template, but the article still relies heavily on primary sources such as the company's own website or the company's patent applications, especially the invention timeline. I don't think that's resolved yet. When it is and the article doesn't rely on primary sources any more, you can remove that warning yourself. Huon (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your help Huon. Are you saying the article can't use ANY primary sources? It looks like about a third of the sources are secondary. What is the requirement, half secondary? Over half secondary? How can I remove the flag after compliance? Jandyno (talk) 18:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * There's no hard and fast quota, but articles should be based on secondary sources; primary sources may be used for uncontroversial details (such as the founding date), but not for what might be considered aggrandizing or promotional. For example, if no one but Dyno Nobel mentions their inventions, they're probably not all that significant anyway. Right now quite a few of the most-heavily used sources are primary, while conversely some of the secondary sources don't mention the company at all. Huon (talk) 19:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
