My browser reports a virus in the image on a La Sagrada Familia page
Apparently the image on this page has a virus issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sf_gp.jpg

Here is what Symantec Endpoint Protection says:

 * It's probably a false-positive, maybe connected to the large size of the image? – ukexpat (talk) 15:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

No apostrophe in the Broadway production of Hellzapoppin
About four months ago I posted a message in the Discussion Section of Hellzapoppin' (musical) stating I didn't believe there is an apostrophe in the title of Olsen and Johnson's original Broadway production of Hellzapoppin. No one has argued to the contrary. Has enough time passed to make the change? If so, how is a change made to the title of an article? Thank you. Brad Smith (talk) 00:46, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Enough time has passed. If you are autoconfirmed there is a tab that says "move" on it. The you follow the steps on that page. I took care of it, the page is now at the correct title. Sumsum2010 · T · C  00:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Sumsum2010. I found the tab and appreciate you changing the title of the page.  Nice to learn how to fish and to be given a fish. Brad Smith (talk) 17:09, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Selected Works
Do selected works normally come before or after a references section? :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  02:44, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

What percentage of the world population plays golf?
I have been looking soooo hard to find the answer to this question. It would mean a lot to me if someone could find it. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.74.162 (talk) 03:09, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Ratings for Movies
Is there a specific reason as to why pages for films don't mention their ratings in the basic information (aka PG, PG-13, R, etc.)? Are users not allowed to post this information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emclaughlin (talk • contribs) 05:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Mainly, there are simply too many ratings systems in English-speaking countries, let alone the world over. Further, these ratings can change drastically over time as different editions of a film are released, and re-released. --Monterey Bay (talk) 05:38, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That, I believe, is the main reason why a film's ratings aren't included in the Infobox film template. You may want to look through the talk page for that template to see if the issue has come up before.  Dismas |(talk) 05:47, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Guidance for discussing ratings in an article (but outside the infobox template) is at WP:FILMRATING. Ka renjc 08:46, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Stuff to help with
Where can I find things to help with in regard to improving or adding new articles on the law and legal cases? Thanks! Lord Roem (talk) 05:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * WikiProject Law perhaps? Dismas |(talk) 06:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. I'll check it out. Thanks! Lord Roem (talk) 06:56, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

How do I delete an unused account?
I don't know why I created this account. However I haven't used it at all. I haven't uploaded anything, edited, or written anything. I have contributed nothing to Wikipedia. I don't plan on doing so either. So how can I delete my account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marry-jane97 (talk • contribs) 06:11, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Because Wikipedia content is licensed under the GFDL and the CC-BY-SA, all edits must be kept for attribution purposes, and so your account cannot be deleted. You do, however, have the right to vanish, which you can exercise by (1) requesting your user page (found at Special:Mypage) and subpages be deleted, by adding the template to them; (2) requesting to change your username to something that is unconnected with you (possibly a random collection of letters and numbers); (3) never logging in to your account again. The "right to vanish" does not mean anyone has the right to a fresh start under a new identity. Anyone who wants to continue editing should request a change of username instead so edits can be reattributed. --  Phantom Steve .alt/ talk \[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 06:54, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Picture alignment
How do I move the picture in Russ Prize more to the left, between the infobox and the table? Any idea? Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't do that. Pictures should be left or right aligned unless there are only pictures in the row. Otherwise it gives poor display with many common setups for window size, text size and other settings. I have a common setup and the table and image already take up nearly the whole width. If you tried moving the picture to the left of the infobox then the table would probably end up below the image for me and lots of others. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Most visited non-existent articles
Does this list exist? It might give clues to which articles (or redirects) need creating. 81.131.56.84 (talk) 12:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Most missed articles, but it's from 2008. There's also Most wanted articles which lists non-existent articles with the most incoming links.  --Mysdaao talk 13:09, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * What a lot of obscure band names! Thank you. 81.131.56.84 (talk) 13:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sadly, the overwhelming majority of those "most-wanted articles" are created by the inclusion of redlinked terms in templates, rather than actual articles. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:47, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Waaaayyyy back in the dawn of time, there used to be a page of "most searched for terms" but I haven't seen that for years now.  Corvus cornix  talk  23:38, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Apply a monobook line only when using Safari
I dropped my rollback rights because when I use my iPhone (which uses the Safari browser) I would occasionally hit the rollback link by mistake. Another user suggested adding ".page-Special_Watchlist .mw-rollback-link {display:none;}" to my monobook.css, but that would also remove it from the watchlist display when I am on my main computer. Is there a way to write a line in the monobook file that would only apply if I were using Safari? That would be ideal, because then I would have no rollback links on the IPhone but I would have them on my usual computer, where I use Firefox. If there's a more technical forum where I should be asking this question, please let me know. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk – library) 15:07, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Since no one has answered here, I suggest you try Village pump (technical). -- John of Reading (talk) 08:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks; I'll do that. Mike Christie (talk – library) 13:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Rape Statistics
I wouidl like to be able to contribute additional info on th aboe topic. I cannot see an easy way to do this. Do I have to create a 'new page', or something ? Yours etc R Whiston —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.33.143 (talk) 16:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could add the information to rape? The content will have to be referenced in reliable sources, however.  Giftiger Wunsch   [TALK]  17:12, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Rape is semi-protected so it can only be edited with autoconfirmed accounts. It's free and easy to create an account and has several benefits. Before getting autoconfirmed, you can post suggestions to Talk:Rape. The article Rape statistics is not protected so you can edit it right away. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * When posting suggested edits to Talk:Rape (or the talk page of any semi-protected page), preface them with to call attention to the changes.  -- Bk314159 (Talk to me and find out what I've done) 16:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Wiki clock
The clock in the top right corner apparently runs off of my Ipads clock and not off of one on the server or somewhere else? My Ipad was about five to six minutes fast but now has jumped to about twelve minutes fast. It's starting to make edit histories a bit confusing when my time is so off everyone elses. Beach drifter (talk) 20:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * After a quick experiment, yes, the clock enabled by "My preferences > Gadgets > User interface gadgets" gets its time from the local computer. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You can reset your ipad's clock using Settings → General → Date and Time → Set Date and Time.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
