Signature
I went to 'my preferences' and noticed there was a 'Signature' box. What do I put there? Also, where can I change the color and font of my signature? --Raddude50 (talk) 00:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * See Signatures. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ummmmm... It doesn't say what I put in the signature box... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raddude50 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The section of that article you want is here. I'll explain... Most people put links to their userpage and talk page while making it look more aesthetic. For instance, my signature (Scottydude talk 16:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)) has a link to my userpage and my talkpage. The advantage of using the custom box is that I can make the talk link a subscript by adding PLACE TEXT HERE and putting the link to my talk page in between. Hope this helps! Scottydude  talk 16:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * How come my signature shows up like this? --&lt;span style="background:#a00;color:#000"&gt;:K&lt;span style="background:#c00"&gt;i&lt;span style="background:#d00"&gt;rby1&lt;/span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;5:&lt;/span&gt; (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Be sure to check "raw signature" on your preferences page.  Corvus cornix  talk  18:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have remembered to say that. My apologies! Scottydude talk 23:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Blocked images
I accidentally blocked all my images from wikipedia, how do I unblock everything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.54.30 (talk) 00:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're on Firefox, go to Tools &gt; Options &gt; Content &gt; the second "Exceptions..." for "Load images automatically" &gt; remove any "wikipedia" or "wikimedia" entry, such as "http://commons.wikimedia.org". Not sure if you can block images on Internet Explorer.  x42bn6 Talk Mess  01:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Offline Editing of Wikipedia article
Just asking this here, already asked as a registered user on the Italian Wikipedia: I'm searching for a software/plugin/etc. that could help me editing wikipedia's pages and make it possible to use the "Show Preview" function of the Edit Page. This would help me avoid mistakes, but i never found anything useful: the alternative, using a notepad application, hasn't the preview function. Anyone could help me? You can find me with the username "Reborned" on the Italian wiki, Thanks --83.147.85.32 (talk) 02:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Auto-Wiki Browser is useful for making a lot of very similar edits to several pages at once (mostly maintenance type work). wikEd is also a popular tool which can be activated under the "Gadgets" tab in your preferences. Tools/Editing tools has a full list of tools and programs which should be along the lines of what you're looking for. Hers fold  non-admin (t/a/c) 03:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia article using another Wikipedia article as a source
I was going to remove such a reference because it just seemed wrong, but I wasn't sure which guideline, if there is one, I would be quoting in my edit summary. Any idea? Thanks Louis Waweru  Talk 02:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:RS? – ukexpat (talk) 02:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Correct. Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source for other Wikipedia articles.  It says this explicitly at WP:SPS.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 03:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ukexpat and shinmawa. I actually read those (oops) I guess I need to pay more attention when reading. Louis Waweru  Talk 04:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We need Wikipedia to pass the Turing test and begin paying attention to us. Someday MediaWiki will be smart enough to tell when an editor violates a Wikipedia guideline or policy, and provide the relevant detailed warning. For now, we must make do with unreliable human diligence. --Teratornis (talk) 15:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Um, what?
I was just in the Circus (company) article, and under the 28th game listed, you can see that it's blank, but when you edit the section, you can see  Wasurerareta Natsu listed there. Why does this not show up in the article? Further, when you edit this section, look at the end of this sentence; when this particular phrase is wikilinked, it does not appear on the page: Wasurerareta Natsu .--  十  八  04:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah. The reason for that is that ar is the language code for Arabic, so links starting with ar: are assumed to be interwiki links, which show up in the sidebar rather than appearing as in-article links (I've "nowiki'ed" your example here for the same reason). The only solution I know of is to create the article at a different title, and pipe the link - for example, as AR: Wasurareta Natsu. Confusing Manifestation (Say hi!) 04:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, well that sucks; thanks for clearing that up.--  十  八  22:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism - I've run out of time
I have to sign off this computer shortly but I've found some vandalism in the Utah article that claims "The Great Salt Lake, the major remnant of Lake Bonneville, is so salty from the tears of local residents upon hearing that there would be no Fry's Electronics retail store built in the valley." I've gone as far back in the history as 23 June but can't find where this, and who knows what else, was put into the article. Could someone track this down? Thanks, Dismas |(talk) 05:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The edits were made in revision 223179510, by user 24.10.243.154, should anyone feel like warning them about such vandalism. As for the vandalism itself, I've undone it.  --DaRkAgE7 (talk) 06:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Still having trouble creating categories
I have created an article on Wikipedia. I am having trouble creating categories. When ever I put Category: CategoryName is becomes a link but there is no box. Also, when I try to add more Categories they appear on the page as Category: Name, Category: Name.

--61.129.99.234 (talk) 06:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. You are actually VERY close.  What you entered was this:
 * The preceding : and the space after "Category:" are what's breaking it. The preceding colon is used to make links show up exactly as they did, rather than adding it to the category like you wanted.  Also, you don't need to delimit the categories by pipes (|).  This is done by the software automatically.  Try this instead:

Using Wikipedia Content to Teach Marketing Courses in English
We are an online English teaching company. We teach various levels of English interactively and are planning to teach a Marketing course (in English), so that students can become familiar with English marketing terminology. We believe that your Wikipedia content is perfect for us to use. We also plan to integrate marketing case studies, video clips, voice, reading and writing exercises and exams online. I am not clear on if or how we can use your marketing related texts in conjunction with our website, unless we integrate it. I cannot understand the conditions you specify relative to our needs and would respectfully request a clarification of what we can and cannot do. Many thanks, 58.187.128.125 (talk) 09:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Locking Down Sites
I represent both Chalvedon and Barstable schools and would like to "lock down" their pages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalvedon_School & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barstable_School) and delete their history edited pages as they contain false and offensive material in them. I am unsure if locking a topic from being edited further is even an option on WikiPedia..?

Obviously pupils seem to have great pleasure in defacing the image of the schools on such a popular public website.

Any advice or information would be appreciated please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.46.145.1 (talk) 10:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The situation has been looked into by a member of the Wikipedia society an has been sorted as best as is possible.

Thankyou very much Alex Muller. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndyBaines (talk • contribs) 11:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi 217.46.145.1 (the Chalvedon and Barstable schools representative).
 * First, I'm not sure about the above message by "Alex Muller" because as far as I can see nothing's been "looked into by a member of the Wikipedia society" or "sorted as best as is possible".
 * Second, I've had a brief look at the history of the article and can't immediately see anything beyond the normal silliness that you get with articles on schools. So locking them down (termed "protection", and there are various levels of protection) is probably not warranted. However, if there's anything in the articles' histories that's libellous or revealing private information about individuals, then deletion of the corresponding edits could be considered. If you can identify particular edits that you feel should be erased for these reasons, please point them out - thanks.--92.40.193.196 (talk) 12:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, User:alex.muller is an admin. After looking at the logs for the pages, it looks like Alex went in and did some selective deletion.   My personal guess is that Alex is responding to an OTRS ticket.  However, I can't be sure as there was no note with a ticket number left behind.  This doesn't really change anything I said below, but it looks like the problem as already been resolved.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 13:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Due to restrictions of the GFDL, we can not delete the history of the page. However, in extraordinary circumstances, elements of the history can be hidden from view.   If you truly feel that there are elements of the history that are libelous, there is a facility of Wikipedia called Oversight that exists for the sole purpose of hiding revisions.  If such is the case, you may make a request by following the instructions at Requests for oversight.   Please be prepared to indicate exactly which revisions need to be hidden and why.  As for "locking down the page", the policy that covers this is at Protection policy.   However, to be frank, neither page is anywhere close to meeting the threshhold of page protection as both pages are editted exceedingly rarely (approximately 1 edit per month average) and neither show the history of vandalism that is required to invoke protection.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 13:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In the general case, it is false to claim that the GFDL forbids history deletion. This is one of the more persitent myths, unfortunately.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify all of this - I've been through the histories of those two articles and removed the rubbish, so administrators can still see the whole page history if they want. Oh, and I'm not OTRS - I declined a speedy deletion of the articles which led to talk page posts. You can read it all on User talk:Alex.muller and User talk:AndyBaines. Ta, Alex Muller  14:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarifications, Alex.  Much appreciated!  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 17:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ummm...looks like I misinterpreted AndyBaines's response. Anyway, at least it's all sorted now. --92.40.182.63 (talk) 22:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC) (formerly 92.40.193.196)

Globe thing

 * Use the Coor title series: Coor title d, Coor title dm, Coor title dms. Remember to plate them at the bottom of the article. Xenon54 12:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe Xenon meant 'place' them at the bottom of the article. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 13:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did. Another reason why I shouldn't edit Wikipedia just after waking up. Xenon54 13:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

LINKING
Ive created a new page called Type dynamics indicator. i wanted to make it so the abbreviation TDI also linked to the page. how do i do this? im sorry if this is in the help pages but i couldnt find it or it wasnt very clear. Daniel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danb14 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Go to TDI, which is a disambiguation page, and add a link to your page at the bottom. Xenon54 13:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * (e/c) In most circumstances, you would simply create a redirect to the page. However, in this case, TDI already exists as a disambiguation page.   All you need to do in your case is add type dynamics indicator to the list of things that can be referred to as TDI.   I hope this helps.   <font style="font-variant: small-caps;">-- ShinmaWa(talk) 13:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

histories
how far does the recent changes history go back? to 2001? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 16:04, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Normally a maximum of 500 edits from 30 days ago. However, if you tweak the URL, you probably can. <em style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:DarkBlue">StewieGriffin!  &bull; Talk Sign Listen 16:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please explain "tweak the URL". I was to misunderstand that clicking "earliest" shows changes from begging of Wikipedia existance, but they differ for each article. I wish to view activity accross all of wikipedia in real time as Recent Changes offers, but I wish to see the logs from 2001 or as early as possible in virtual real time, to seem what activity was happening in Wikipedias early existance. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 16:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Stewie means adding options to the end of the URL, like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&from=20020101000000&hideminor=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Xenon54 16:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you. So what is the maximum time one can view the logs for? Are they deleted? It would seem a waste to loose such important information about the growth of wikipedia? Are they archived somewhere else for preservation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 16:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That link does not work. It gives todays changes. I wish to view past changes as far back as they go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 16:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Please answer: how far back into the past does the Recent Changes log go? Where can I view the furthest back logs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 17:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * At this point, I think it is important to focus less on 'how' and more on 'why'.  What exactly are you looking to do?   It sounds like you are up to some serious data mining and this is fine.  If this is the case, you might want to take a look at downloading the Wikipedia database and doing your data mining on your own computer(s) without the limitations imposed by working through the WikiMedia software.   Specifically, I think you'd want the database dump called "pages-meta-history.xml.bz2".  <font style="font-variant: small-caps;">-- ShinmaWa(talk) 17:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, thank you I will certainly check those out. To ask once more, how far back does the logs go? In looking around I find the length of a month quoted. Do the logs only go far back as a month or longer? This is recent changes I mean, not the page histories. I would like to no before I begin downloading. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishoco (talk • contribs) 18:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The technically correct answer would be "$wgRCMaxAge". The dumps that ShinmaWa mentioned contain the complete history (except for some early edits around 2001 which got lost due to software changes), but recent dumps of the English Wikipedia are often unavailable due to technical problems.

Search Query Direction
Hello,

I was wondering why when I type in "Fuze" is brings me to the "Fuse (explosive)" and not the "Fuze (Beverage)" page. Also, is there a way to change this so when people type in "Fuze" they go to the correct page?

Thank You

—Preceding unsigned comment added by AlphaJaguar5 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You can edit the redirect here. If you replace the text with  #REDIRECT Fuze (Beverage)  it will start pointing to that article. I do think changing it is the best option, but a link to Fuze (disambiguation) should be placed at the top of Fuze (beverage) - see Template:Otheruses. If you think others may disagree you should bring the change up for discussion first at a talk page of one of the articles. =Species8473=  (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * According to the manual of style, articles should point to the most common usage of a term.  In US English, 'fuze' is an alternate spelling of an explosive fuse and is therefore the most common usage of the term..  Because of this, it is appropriate that 'fuze' redirect to 'fuse'.   At the top of the fuse page, there is a link that reads:  "Fuze" redirects here. For other uses, see Fuze (disambiguation).   It is on this disambiguation page that you can find the link to the beverage.    <font style="font-variant: small-caps;">-- ShinmaWa(talk) 22:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * When I do a google search: Google: Fuze. Of the ten first results, number one and five point to the beverage (drinkfuze.com and bevnet.com). Other results include a sandisk product 1, and some webdesign pages. But none of them are about explosives. It doesn't seem like the beverage is dominant, but there is not a single page one result pointing to explosives. Perhaps the best option here is to direct Fuze to Fuze (disambiguation), where the SanDisk product is also mentioned? =Species8473=  (talk) 22:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

New Parser Function
I made a parser function to display EST but I don't know how to get the 2 extra digits, which are the seconds, can someone fix it? It's at this page. It comes out looking like this. Melab-1 (talk) 21:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... it seems like you don't quite know what a parser function is... Parser functions aren't template pages, they just look like it. When you call one, the parser recognizes it and, instead of displaying what it normally would, displays whatever that parserfunction is supposed to return. The parser function code for your needs is <tt> </tt> (source - m:Help:ParserFunctions), which returns . Note that it doesn't auto-refresh, you'll need to refresh the page or sometimes purge the server cache of the page by appending <tt>action=purge</tt> to the end of the URL. For more on parser functions, check out Help:Parser function. There are some more at the source link in the parenthesis above. Hope all that helped. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
