User talk:Roms69

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to Adam Johnson (writer). Instead of adding more links to the article, why don't you help improve it by adding the information you learn at those websites into the article itself? If you need to point a reader to a website, you can add it as a reference, which I see you know how to do already. Just be sure to write it in your own words rather than cut and paste. I'll post a list of helpful Wikilinks shortly. Regards, Chuckiesdad (talk) 00:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Redirect page
Hi Roms69, Jones Lecturer has been created. Creating a redirect page is not diffcult, the instructions are at Help:Redirect. Since you asked, when you work on redirects or disambiguation pages, it's a good idea to look at What Links Here (in the Toolbox on the left side of your screen) and fix any links in other articles that point to the redirect/disambig page instead of the final article. The goal is that redirects are only hit by users who type in that term, and not used as links from other articles.

Here's what I did next. If you will look at the History page for Adam Johnson (writer), you will see that one of your Wikilinks pointed to the new page Jones Lecturer, which was a red link until I created the page. Since Jones Lecturer is now a redirect page, I repointed your Wikilink to the final page Jones Lectureship. I used the piped link option to change the link without changing the visible text. In brief, when I change something, I try to look for any ripple effects and fix anything I break. :)

Thanks for your editing! Regards, Chuckiesdad 16:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I need help with two items.

First, I tried to create a page called "Emporium" which would describe a book. But I accidently named the page "Emporium Short Stories." I'd hoped to use the "short stories part to disambiguate this Emporium from the many others. I don't know how to move a page or change its name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emporium_short_stories

Second, I've tried to place an author photo of myself on my wikipedia page, and I found it pretty tricky. The page that describes me is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Johnson_(writer)

The photo I uploaded to wikimedia commons is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adam_Johnson_Writer_Water_Meter.JPG

how the heck do I get that image into a my wikipedia page?

Thanks for all your help Wikipedia community! --Roms69 (talk) 08:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC) -- Unpopular Opinion ( talk ) 10:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) I moved it to Emporium (short stories) and added the entry to the dab page Emporium.
 * 2) I fixed your image. Should become visible once you clear the cache of that page (Ctrl+F5) if you are using Firefox.
