How do I report vandalism?
There is a photograph of Holger Danske, attached to the article 'Ogier the Dane', and some idiot has photoshopped a bong into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.122.113 (talk) 00:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Holger danske.jpg... I don't think that's a bong. If it is, then it was in the original picture. There's only one upload in the file's upload log, and it's by an established photographer. You've got the right spirit, though :) [&#65279;flaminglawyer] 00:40, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * By that I meant that it's good to want to improve it. That just sounded awkward :/ [&#65279;flaminglawyer] 00:44, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's definitely not photoshopped. See and  . PrimeHunter (talk) 01:00, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, If you look at the diffs, it's definitly not a bong. But I agree, it does look like one from this angle >>> D rew S mith  What I've done  06:50, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

ADD ENTRY TO CATEGORY
How does one ADD an entry to an existing Category?

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Point_of_sale_companies&oldid=265275432

We are fine with adding/editing/formatting pages, but how does one proceed to ADD an entry inside an existing CATEGORY?

For example, the CATEGORY "Category:Point of sale companies" has Alphabetical headers and then names within each alphabetical header. How do we proceed to: 1) Add an Alphabetical Header 2) Add an entry under a new or existing alphabetical header?

 * You add to the text at the end of the article. Articles are automatically sorted by the title of the article; thus, special rules apply for people, who must be given a DEFAULTSORT code so that Albert Einstein is sorted as Einstein, Albert. -- Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  01:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * See more at Help:Category. Note that you can only add an already existing Wikipedia article to a category. If you consider to make an article or other edits about a company you are connected to then see FAQ/Organizations. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Mohamed Altoumaimi and Bernoulli numbers
As of now Mohamed Altoumaimi redirects to the Bernoulli numbers article, yet there is no mention of him anywhere in the article. I am asking if this is enough to merit his own article. I'm sure there is more on this kid, but I just happened to see him on the main page of yahoo, and came to see if wikipedia had more info. I don't want to start an article that isn't notable, and while I know the WP:NOTABILITY policies, I'm really not sure if this qualifies. If given the OK, I would be happy to write the article. D rew S mith  What I've done  06:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * He's certainly got some news coverage, but I suspect he might still fall foul of our "one event" guideline for biographies of living people - i.e., he's known for this incident alone, and there's really not much else to say about him (yet). I'd think the best course would be to add a paragraph about him to the Bernoulli numbers article, rather than creating a new article. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I figured as much. But consensus at bernoulli numbers is that a blurb about him would be innapropriate. Is there a page somwehere for young mathematicians? D rew S mith  What I've done  21:34, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Duplication
How do I get rid of the second reference to the References in this article? Contents [hide] 1 Vietnam 2 Guangxi and Guangdong 3 Central Leadership 4 References 5 References DOR (HK) (talk) 09:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The article had two references sections. I removed one of them. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

two questions
1) What is the link for cross-checking the edit history of two users? I've seen it before, but have never used it.

2) I'm fairly sure a BLP is being controlled by one editor (close to the subject) operating at least three accounts. Is there anywhere I can ask for an outside opinion, or is WP:SSP the only place?

 * I'm not sure about question 1, however, for question 2, SPI is probably the best place to go. However, be sure to have diffs to support your theory. SPI will decline requests that appear to be fishing expeditions. TN X Man  16:40, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

telugu wikipedia member
vandhe maatharam

I am already a member of telugu wikipedia and my user name is SAIRATNA. Can I take membership again in english wikipedia ? can I create a user page in english wikipedia also ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sairatna (talk • contribs) 14:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, however it is better for you to have a [unified login] account. E Wing (talk) 14:22, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Can Name Be Corrected?
Someone has posted a brief Wikipedia article on British-born Australian zoologist William John Dakin. However, his name in the article title is John William Dakin. There doesn't seem to be any doubt about which name is correct. Even in the references in the Wikipedia bio (and in other published articles), he is listed as William John Dakin. Can this be corrected so that the page becomes searchable? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.126.72.1 (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Someone beat me to it. Here's the link.  APK  lives in a very, very Mad World  15:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I moved John William Dakin to William John Dakin and changed the name inside the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Image deletion
{{resolved|1= Fingers {{sup|OnRoids}}  01:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)]} How can I request the deletion of a photograph I uploaded that isn't used? Cycle~ (talk) 16:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Simply place (author requests deletion) on the page.  TN X Man  16:38, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Durrr.... Thanks! For some reason, I assumed there was a different method for images! Cycle~ (talk) 16:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've gone ahead and zapped it for you. TN X Man  17:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Convert AI to SVG
Do anyone have any idea of how to convert AI to SVG ? Which software should i use ? Arteyu ? Blame it on me !  18:58, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The AI format is described in Adobe Illustrator Artwork, whioch lists several programs that can handle it. Inkscape apparently has at least a limited ability to handle it, and it uses SVG natively. -Arch dude (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I cannot open the AI format file on inkspace. How should i do it ? Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  19:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You could always download the demo version of illustrator, although that's for a limited time obviously . -Optigan13 (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Can it convert the AI to SVG, using the demo illustrator ? Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  20:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup although I misspoke, it's a trial, not the demo (so it's a limited time, not limited functionality). You just open the AI file and do a file-save as, then you select what variation of SVG (SVG 1.1, 1.0, Tiny, Basic) to save to and you're done. -Optigan13 (talk) 20:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your help. I will download it now (: Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  20:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Another way might be to open the .AI in Adobe Acrobat and save it as a format you can open in Inkscape. chandler • 20:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

page does not appear
I have been searching for INDIA WAVES on Wikipedia but I can't seem to find the page. The page is created India Waves Network but why does it not show? -Thank youIndia Waves (talk) 21:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * User:India Waves is your user page. The reason it is not visible is that it is in User space not Article space. To be in Article space it would have to be moved. But if it were in Article space, it would be immediately deleted for it is hopelessly promotional. Wikipedia does not accept promotional content. See FAQ/Organizations, WP:NPOV, and WP:COI. —teb728 t c 23:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Getting an image into an article.
I took an illustrative photograph (of the Devries Monument) with my camera today and want to put it into an article (called Lewes, Delaware).

When I tried, I was told to get an account on "Wikipedia Commons" and upload it there. I think I did that, but I'm not sure. It says "There is already an image with that name in Wikipedia Commons." But it doesn't say WHAT name, so I can't tell if it's my own that I think I may have uploaded, or someone else's.

In any case, I can't see how to get the image from "Wikipedia Commons" into the article on Wikipedia. Whenever I try to "upload image" to Wikipedia, it sends me back to Wikipedia Commons, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do once I'm there.

Incidentally, I know that licensing is a big issue, but the different options from which one must choose for licensing are really quite opaque. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Slade (talk • contribs) 22:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Your image is File:Devries Monument.jpg. You use an image from Wikimedia Commons the same as one on English Wikipedia: If you enter Devries Monument.jpg, you get -> —teb728 t c 00:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
