help me please
There are other editing tricks I need to learn:

1/ I found you re-size and re-place the pictures in the proper position. How to do that? Is it the right for authorized people (like you) only?

2/ I even don’t know how to make the references. I place the name of article between the references symbols (ref> and <ref\). The number 1,2, … appears correctly, but no listing and no link for that article.

3/ I also want to link several key words to other Wikipedia entries. For example, link “plasma” to other exist webpage, but I can do only adding behind that word a Http://www.....

4. I don’t know why the table I typed in test should be moved to the end of the entire article. How did you move it back?

Please help, but first I need to know where to go and how to do the “categorize”.

1. There are no 'authorized people' - Wikipedia is the Encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. Picture size and layout is specified like this;

You can also have a 'thumbnail' picture with an optional caption like this;

All three examples are shown alongside this message.

2. The referencing system is automatic; in the body text, you put, for example; ...then, at the end of the document, you need a references section with the special code,  - like this;

Still problem of categorisation
Dear Chzz,

I am awfully sorry to bother you again with the problem of “categorization”.

Please tell me, when I arrived this page

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dense_section_of_spherical_tungsten_carbide.jpg

How and where I should type category: science and category: powders?

Give me one step-by-step example, I will learn it quickly. Usually, I am not too stupid if someone teach me by hand :-).

 * No bother at all; I'm glad I can help a new contributor.


 * If you click on the picture (or this link), you will arrive at a Wikipedia page showing a larger image and a description. Note that there is a banner underneath the picture, that reads, "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below."


 * Now, if we click on that "description page" link, we'll get to Commons:File:Dense section of spherical tungsten carbide.jpg, and we'll see that the image on commons - notice that the top of the page changes to show that you are no longer on the English Wikipedia site.


 * Now, click on the "Edit" button at the top, and scroll to the end of the page. You should see that it already has the code . This code is incorrect; it needs to be changed to square brackets, ie  . You could also add it to the other category, by adding   directly below it, on a new line.


 * If you save that, it should then, at the bottom, show that the file is in the two categories - however, there is a problem - the link to "Category:powders" will be a red link, because that category does not exist on commons. By typing into the search box "Category:powder..." and waiting, I see that there is a "Category:Powder metallurgy" - and that one should work - is that an appropriate category? If so, please add it (and remove 'powders').


 * I hope that this has helped - it is literally the process I would do myself to try and fix this; it may well not be the most efficient, but perhaps it might at least give you ideas of where to look. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  17:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
