Stuck in a live chat where no one can hear me
Dragonfly 6-7 was helping me. Then something happened to the thread, and now two other people are on it, working on something else. I don't think they can hear me.

So I opened a new live chat. It said hi to me, but then it kicked back in to the previous live chat. Thanks very much for any help you can give, is this the Wikipedia help desk? I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, I'm new, Entwhiz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Entwhiz (talk • contribs) 01:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes this is the Help Desk. Which helpers are available in live chat at a given time depends on the time they can spare. Like the users in here, the people answering questions in live chat are also volunteers. I suggest trying again. Typing  (do not spam it though, type it only once) may also help attract attention to your question.--   Obsidi ♠ n   Soul   10:03, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Assuming you mean, you can always ask him a question via his talk page. Mjroots (talk) 13:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record, I think we need to establish more clearly that the Help Desk is analogous to a forum in that posts are archived, but the Live Help Chat is not. This isn't the first time I've seen someone become confused. DS (talk) 14:04, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

 * [[Image:P question.svg|20px]] This page is for questions about using Wikipedia. Please consider asking this question at the Miscellaneous reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what this Help Desk is for). Just follow the link and ask away. You could always try  for an article related to the topic you want to know more about.  I hope this helps. CharlieEchoTango (talk) 02:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * A comment at http://www.neptunuslex.com/2007/12/03/poker-and-chess/ says it was Bernard E. Trainor and his exact quote was: "The Chinese were chess players. We were poker players." However, that page is the only Google hit on that exact quote so the wording may be inaccurate. http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/32829/history-channel-america-at-war-megaset-the/ refers to a documentary but doesn't give an exact quote.

General Sir Charles Asgill
On my Wikipedia page General Sir Charles Asgill I have given two links to an article I have written and had published in the British history magazine, History Today. While that article is not currently fully available without a subscription, I understand that within a few days it will be. The History Today article can be found here:

This article contains "history-changing" information! Is there any way in which Wikipedia would be prepared to put a "spotlight" on General Sir Charles Asgill, if only for the month of December 2011? December 2011 is 225 years after General Asgill wrote to The New-Haven Gazette, And The Connecticut Magazine in response to letters published by General Washington the month before. The Editor at the time, Josiah Meigs, denied Asgill a voice and did not publish his letter.

This omission has now been rectified, to a large degree, in my History Today article and I think it would be nice if it could have the sort of coverage only Wikipedia could give it. History Today may possibly not have as much coverage, world-wide, as Wikipedia?

Any assistance you may be able to give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. --Arbil44 (talk) 15:21, 25 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbil44 (talk • contribs) 02:25, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've turned the internal links in your question into Wikilinks.
 * Contributions by experts on a topic are always welcome, as are references to information published in reliable sources. But there are a couple of points of caution:
 * First, it is not your page, it is an article to which you have contributed.
 * Secondly, you need to be cautious about inserting links to your own article. This is a form of WP:Conflict of interest, and while it is certainly not prohibited, you need to be very sensitive to other editors' concerns and opinions.
 * Thirdly, if you are presenting new information which runs counter to existing views, you need to be even more cautious. You may certainly include the new information if it refers to a reliable source, but you may not remove the old information if that too comes from reliable sources; nor should you present the new view as the only possible correct one, unless and until that becomes the consensus of editors interested in the page. In this case I would strongly advise you to open a discussion on the article's talk page, so that you and other editors can reach consensus about how to present the new information.
 * As to your main question, the answer is probably no. Wikipedia is specifically not a vehicle for promoting anything, whether products, causes, events, or scholarly views. --ColinFine (talk) 09:25, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. It wouldn't be possible to enter into discussions with anyone who had not read the History Today article and obviously you have not been able to since it is not likely to be fully available, without subscription, until next week. I have given a link to the first paragraph though, as above and here. In a nutshell, Asgill was condemned to death by Washington on the basis that he, Asgill, pulled his name out of a hat, along with 12 other British officers, but Asgill got the "short straw". Queen Marie Antoinette got pretty upset about this and ordered Washington to release Asgill. After six months of what Asgill described as "Peculiar Hardships" in his service records an Act of Congress was passed to released him. In the years following, Washington got very upset with Asgill for not writing a "thank you letter" following his release and gave Asgill a very hard time and labelled him a cad and a liar. If you consult the further reading section of the Wikipedia article on General Sir Charles Asgill (which I happened to write, in total, and uploaded it onto Wikipedia, so I tend to think of it as "my Wikipedia page" but sorry for any offence caused on that point) you will see that Asgill has been written about endlessly. Nobody, before me, in my article in History Today, has revealed the fact that Asgill DID write about his experiences as a prisoner of war, whilst protected by the 14th Article of Capitulation, yet sent to the gallows by the 1st President of the USA who, today, would thereby be classed as a war criminal. The newspaper editor who received Asgill's letter failed to publish it and the letter has never surfaced in the public domain. The letter, in itself, changes recorded history relating to The Asgill Affair since it is written personally by the prisoner himself. However, if this is of no special interest, then so be it. Luckily for me History Today has taken an entirely different perspective on this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbil44 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Arbil44, thanks for you hard work on the article. However I don't think you understand the last point made by ColinFine. We (that is me and you, e.g. wikipedians) do not judge whether something is of 'special interest' or not, and we do not feature content that way. If you want to get the article featured on the main page, you will have to go through this process. I hope this helps, and best regards, CharlieEchoTango (talk) 14:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Those who have the article on their watchlist will be interested to see the recent additions, and more so if the History Today link becomes readable without subscription. The article does need some improvement to meet Wikipedia's standards;  in particular the inline external links need to be removed, and replaced by references.  Appropriate reading matter includes WP:EL and WP:Referencing for beginners. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Colin, Charlie, David - thank you for your comments. I don't think I can do anything more about anything - I am nearly 70 years old and find the technological side (and computer-techno-speak) relating to contributing to Wikipedia terribly difficult (even though that must seem very pathetic). I have received an email about not having signed my entries above correctly and even that is pretty much beyond me. I am going to spare myself all this grief and just leave the matter there. No further action, but thanks all the same.

One last question, if I may. I have recently spent £200 on having Asgill's mezzotint image (as shown at the beginning of the article I wrote about him - sorry, cannot even get my links done correctly) painted - so that it matches the missing portrait by Thomas Phillips RA. Having spent that much I am not prepared to upload it (if I can get someone else to do so for me) unless it is something which can be available ONLY on Wikipedia. I am NOT prepared, having spent that much, to allow all and sundry to copy and paste it elsewhere. Is there a way of doing that - or not? I fully expect it to be the latter, which is a shame, because the National Army Museum in London are very impressed by the research and expertise which has gone into recreating a colour image of the original portrait. Arbil44 (talk) 15:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry you feel it is beyond you: we do value your contribution, honestly, and many people find it quite daunting learning all the new skills and approaches required to contribute to Wikipedia. You appear to have signed your last comment successfully, so you have mastered that part!
 * For Wikilinks, you simply put the page name in double square brackets, so: General Sir Charles Asgill, which appears as General Sir Charles Asgill - but it must match exactly, including spacing, punctuation and capitalisation.
 * I think part of your frustration comes because you are wanting to use Wikipedia for a purpose which it does not have, that of announcing your new discovery. Once the discovery has been published, it may be referred to, but publicising it is not what we are here for.
 * As for the picture: as you guess, Wikipedia requires that images and other matter be licensed under one of the licences that do not restrict where they may be used (though they generally require that the source be acknowledged). If you hold copyright on that image, and are not willing to grant such a licence, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ColinFine (talk • contribs) 17:14, 25 November 2011‎ (UTC)

Again, my thanks. In the real world I am not a complete moron! In the virtual world I am! You will see my problem when I say that I don't even understand what is meant by "For Wikilinks, you simply put the page name in double square brackets, so: General Sir Charles Asgill, which appears as General Sir Charles Asgill - but it must match exactly, including spacing, punctuation and capitalisation." I don't even know what Wikilinks is or the purpose it serves! Sorry, it must be very frustrating indeed getting messages from such as me.

I doubt it is as simple as this - but do you mean that if I put double square brackets around the title of the page about General Sir Charles Asgill then that, in itself, will mean that the page is automatically put forward for some sort of front page Wikipedia attention? If that IS the case, then I might just about be able to do that...but cannot be sure until I try! I really do apologise for being so burdensome, but all I am trying to do is rectify a wrong perpetrated 225 years ago - a man had a right to a voice and it was denied him - I want to do all within my power to give him that voice back (I am his g-g-g-granddaughter which means this is all rather more personal than normal). Arbil44 (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi there, Arbil. If you are having trouble and need assistance, I will be happy to help — I'm a history guy and can help you get what needs to be in there without conflict of interest issues. The first step is that the article needs to have been published. That is an absolute minimum. As soon as that happens, send me an email with a digital copy of the article attached or an address where I can find it on the internet and we will talk. Okay? —Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR (USA) /// MutantPop@aol.com /// Carrite (talk) 07:05, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I think, Carrite, that you may have understood. The article HAS already been published in History Today.  It is ref 2 in the article General Sir Charles Asgill, and also shown as a link from the first paragraph of the OP above, though the full text of the History Today article is available only to subscribers. - David Biddulph (talk) 09:56, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Carrite. I will email you a scan of the article which has been on the shelves of bookshops since 17th November! It's right in front of one about Lord Nelson, so you will miss that one! I think you will understand a whole lot more about how I feel once you have read it! Somewhere at the top of this thread there was something about making the page about Asgill more public...this process...that is what I need help with please. By the way, the penny has finally dropped about what is meant about Wikilinks! There are plenty of them in the Asgill page written by me, but it is several years since then and I had forgotten how to do it! Arbil44 (talk) 10:49, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

For those who may be interested in the History Today article - it is now freely available online (although the magazine itself has a much nicer selection of illustrations). It will only be available on the internet for a short time though. Arbil44 (talk) 00:01, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Note also that there are a number of issues with that page. Among other things, you need to realise that Wikipedia does not normally include inline external links, but instead expects references, so please read WP:EL and WP:Referencing for beginners.  Before creating your first article, it would have been wise to read such pages as WP:1st and WP:Tutorial;  there are many other useful links in the welcome message on your talk page. - David Biddulph (talk) 10:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

The longhair
Just a note that you do absolutely nothing at all to further your contributions campaign when we have to look at the longhair every time we go to your site. Millions of people just want Brandon Harris to get a haircut. It's disgusting. This is your campaign picture for requesting contributions?

 * How dare a non-profit charitable organisation that provides a valuable service ask for donations (must be valuable to you in some way, otherwise why are you even here?).. unfortunately non-profit organisations such as Wikimedia must often rely on the generosity of others. You can find further reading at the donation FAQ. Donating is of course entirely optional - you are free to ignore the banners, you can hide them entirely if you wish, just register an account and browse to Special:Preferences click the tick box "Suppress display of the fundraiser banner" and hit save. I'm sorry you find such an appeal shameful, if you find it unbearable I'm sure there are other websites out there that will gladly shove advertisements in your face.  Я ehevkor ✉  13:00, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * If you object so strongly to our annual fund raising, don't use Wikipedia! Alternatively register an account - there is an option in registered users' preferences to hide the fund raiser. Advertising has been ruled out as it could affect Wikipedia's neutrality. Realistically, you have 3 choices:
 * Don't use Wikipedia
 * Ignore the fund raiser (or register an account so you can hide it)
 * Start your own on-line Encyclopedia which has advertising to fund it - mind you, you'll need to spend out initially on a website, but then you can run it how *you* want to

Or use Citizendium, and have ads shoved in your face by a much smaller but in some ways higher quality free online encyclopedia. Or Conservapedia. Wikipedia's competitors are eager for your business. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Although I should point out that they are very different to Wikipedia. Citizendium has just under 16,000 and much stricter criteria for editing - which you might like; Conservapedia is in no way a neutral venue - again, that might be what you are looking for, but again it is a lot smaller than Wikipedia, with about 38,000 articles. Personally, I would never use Conservapedia because of their strong (albeit self-admitted) bias. I've not looked enough at Citizendium to have an opinion. Of course, you could always go to Encarta, Britannia, etc - but I'm guessing the reason you are here is because of the width of coverage and that it's free. Well, the price of this free, neutral encyclopedia is our annual fund raiser. --  Phantom Steve .alt/ talk \[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 08:29, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Wikigear
If someone wanted to produce and sell Wikigear such as hats shirts coffee mugs scarves and a plethora of more possibilities, who would they talk to?

Wiki would get their cut for the use of the Wikipedia name and so would the person for paying the bills for for the production and marketing.

There would be no cost to Wikipedia.

It would help offset the cost of maintaining the site.

The name Wikipedia would be a visible presents somewhere other than the internet on a daily basis.

The external link I added to "Brooklyn (novel)" was apparently reverted due to the general policy of not linking to blogs. However, the link was to a specific entry to a blog that has an insightful review of the book in question.

Why doesn't Wikipedia have a simple to follow 1,2,3 step from writing a feature to publication? Why is it so impossible to navigate your site from start to finish?

 * Here it is: Step 1: pick a topic that isn't covered. Step 2: gather references. Step 3: write it, in neutral factual tone based on and citing those references. Step 4: get feedback from others to help double-check those three keys.
 * It's actually all in Your first article. That article has an obvious title but maybe not obvious until you know to look for it at that title? That's a common problem new editors encounter--not knowing where to look. The key is to ask early, before spending weeks being increasingly frustrated--we were all new once and now most of us recognize where to find things and are happy to point them out to others.
 * I see your account is about 3 weeks old and this is its first edit.

 * The literal answer is that you move it to mainspace. But as FormerIP says, you should make the references inline first. —teb728 t c 21:57, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The question has been asked, and answered, at least three times previously, on September 12, on September 18, and in October. - David Biddulph (talk) 10:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello-I can't afford to give a donation but would it help to keep your site on as long as I can each day? Good luck with the site-it's really helpful! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.39.51 (talk) 20:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if you can't give any money, you can still help by adding valuable content to Wikipedia. See Introduction for information on how you can improve Wikipedia with your time and knowledge rather than your money.  In many ways, this is the more important way you can help!  -- Jayron  32  21:10, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * But no, how often or how long you access Wikipedia has no effect on it. --ColinFine (talk) 23:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

How can I submit a photo to wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.0.64.226 (talk) 23:38, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * If it is a photo that you own the copyright to (i.e. it was your finger that pushed the button on the camera) then sure, see Help:Files for info on uploading and including images at Wikipedia. -- Jayron  32  23:49, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
