 * At the moment you have created a draft article in a user subpage. In order for it to be an article (without the "user" bit) it will have to be moved to the main space. However, the subject does not appear to meet the inclusion guidelines for sports teams which you will find at WP:NSPORT - in brief, only teams that play in professional leagues meet the criteria.--ukexpat (talk) 00:39, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I suggest you read Starting an article. --ColinFine (talk) 09:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

wiki on Rae Sunshine Lee
Hi, I was wondering why there is no wiki page on Rae Sunshine Lee. You have her referenced on the pilot episode she did with John C. Riley called Check It Out With Dr./ Steven Brule here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_It_Out!,_With_Steve_Brule but there is no other info on her. She played the waitress, Sunshine. She's done a whole lot more than that and I was wondering if there is ever going to be a wiki page on her. Her first television appearance was in 1962, on Bozo The Clown. She is listed on the imdb. I realize I wrote in third person. Habit, sorry about that. I am Rae Sunshine Lee and I was wondering how to get the wiki people to do a wiki page on me. Thanx so much for any help you can be.

 * You need to be notable. See WP:BIO for the guideline on that.  If you meet that criteria, you can request an article at WP:RA  RudolfRed (talk) 03:19, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Hello. I'm not sure what you are asking, but I think it must be about breeds of pigeon. If so, please be aware that this help desk is for information about editing Wikipedia. I suggest you look at the article pigeon, and if that doesn't help, you can ask your question at the Reference desk/Science - but please make it a bit clearer what you are asking if you do that. --ColinFine (talk) 09:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Crawford Alchemy Blueprint of Operational Excellence
The editor has asked for more references to my article above which I have now applied.

I cannot see how to re-submit for the editor.

Please advise how to do.

Thank you.

 * I assume you are talking about Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Crawford Alchemy Blueprint for Operational Excellence. The submitted article was declined because it did not establish its subject's notability. Notability is established by providing reliable sources that are independent of the subject - your own publications and website do not meet this requirement. Also, if you are the creator of the methodology described in the article then you almost certainly should not be writing a Wikipedia article about it - see our conflict of interest guideline.

Image check
Hi, Can someone check if File:The_Smiler.png is actually released under cc 1.0 for me please - As it is released on Twitter, I am not sure. I would, but I'm currently behind a filter blocking me from social media sites..... Mdann52 (talk) 10:14, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That file is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and thus this issue needs to be dealt with over there. Commons:License review is the place to go. -- Toshio   Yamaguchi  12:51, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * What? This was a simple "hey can you check the source" request, and we're quite competent to answer it here.  It wasn't a "fix this" or something else that needed someone with a Commons account.  Mdann — I can't find anything discussing licensing, so I doubt that the license is valid.  Nyttend (talk) 16:06, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I admit this was a misjudgement on my part. I don't see evidence on the Twitter page that the image has been released under that license. A search via tineye.com also doesn't turn up another version of the image which could be used to verify that it has been released under the stated license. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  18:09, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Anonymous (group)
First, Anonymous is not a GROUP, it's a collective. And i want you to change that incorrectness...

thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calisto.Arche (talk • contribs) 11:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The way to change an article is to start a discussion on the article's talk page. In this case you can go to Talk:Anonymous (group) and start a discusion there and explain what should be changed and why you feel it should be changed.  GB fan 13:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * A collective is a group isn't it? Or at least that's what I thought... Thanks ツ Je no va  20  (email) 13:19, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * A collective is a group with common goals and values (see p.5 of for a good definition). Not every group is a collective, however. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  13:43, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Whatever the respective definitions say, "group" is perfectly OK for disambiguation purposes.--ukexpat (talk) 16:20, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Editing an article
hi I created a page some weeks ago. it has been published on Wikipedia but there is some alarms above the page about its references. I fixed the references but that comments still is above the page. what can I do? thanks Negar61 (talk) 14:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

 * If you believe you have addressed the issues satisfactorily, you are welcome to remove the maintenance templates from the beginning of the article: it does not happen automatically. I can't read Farsi, so I cannot evaluate the references, but on the surface they would appear to be reliable sources, and if so, the issues raised have been addressed. --ColinFine (talk) 16:41, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Problems when I log in
Occasionally, when I log in to Wikipedia, I get a red tag which says "there was a problem with your logging in". What is the best thing to do in this instance? Many thanks in advance for any feedback, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:55, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It might be an error generated by the MediaWiki Authentication System. I can't say anything more specific, since I've never seen that error myself and cannot find the displayed tag on MediaWiki. I don't know whether this is documented somewhere. It might be the error message displayed described at the 8th bullet point, where the session referenced by the token doesn't match the actual session, though that is just a guess on my part. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  19:09, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedia, I noticed as a explored your page of African American Drummers you seem to miss or over look the esteemed Kahil EL Zabar from Chicago. Please research this music icon,as he should be added to your list. He has made many major contributions to music in his almost 60 years of age and it needs to be recognized. Regards,

THIS IS THE TEXT - HOW DO I INCLUDE PHOTOS AND FORMAT THIS TO LOOK LIKE THE TYPICAL ENTRY???

Don Albinson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(on right side with photo): Don Albinson Photo Born		November 17, 1921 Sparta, MI Died		November 17, 2008 Minneapolis, MN Nationality	American Industrial Design Career Contributed to multiple significant Herman Miller projects while in the Eames office, 1946-1959 Knoll 1601 Stack Chair, 1965 Westinghouse Office Seating Line, 1974 DoMore Neo 7 landscape system, 1984 Albi stack chair, Fixtures 1987 Stylex Bounce stack chair, 1997

Don Charles Albinson (November 22, 1921 – November 17, 2008) was an American industrial designer who made many contributions to the world of modern furniture. He worked with Charles and Ray Eames for 13 years, helping develop many of the seminal Herman Miller furniture pieces from the mid century – the bent plywood chair, the fiberglass shell chair, the aluminum group set, and the Eames Lounge chair, to name a few. He later developed the Knoll Stack chair, the Westinghouse office line, an update to the DoMore Series 7 landscape system named Neo 7, the Albi stack chair for Fixtures, and the Bounce chair for Stylex.

Biography

Albinson was born in 1921 in Sparta, MI and raised in Detroit, MI. He attended Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1939, where he met Charles Eames, Ray Kaiser, Harry Bertoia, Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Ralph Rapson and other luminaries. He also met his future wife, Nancy Blair Wilcox, at Cranbrook as well. He worked with Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen on the prototypes for the award-winning Eames – Saarinen designs for the 1941 Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He was drafted and served as a pilot in World War II. Upon returning from the war, he moved the family to Los Angeles to work in the Eames office. He worked in the Eames Office from 1946 – 1959. He was the lead designer for the 13 years he worked in the office. During his years with Eames, Albinson was directly involved with the development and production of iconic Eames furniture designs such as the molded plywood screen, the dining chair with metal legs (DCM), the Aluminum Group Chair, and several other products on which he shared more than a dozen patents with Eames. He also helped with the construction the Eames Case Study House in Pacific Palisades in 1949, as well as the Max DePree house in Zeeland, MI, along with numerous other furniture and film projects.

In 1964 Albinson moved the family to southeastern Pennsylvania; he had been offered the position of Design Director for Knoll, in East Greenville, Pennsylvania. He was tasked with getting a number of challenging projects into production, as well as given the opportunity to shepherd his own chair design into production, the iconic 1601 stacking chair. Knoll introduced the stacking chair in 1965 and it won the AID Award in 1967. He was Design Director from 1964 - 1971; during his tenure he put into production such seminal furniture pieces as the Pollack Executive chair, the Platner steel wire Lounge collection, the Don Petitt chair, and many others. He was the Design Director at Knoll until 1971. After that time, he became an independent consultant, designing projects for Westinghouse, Domore, Stylex and Fixtures.

In 1974 Westinghouse introduced the ASD Group of office seating, and it remained a very successful line for many years. In 1984 he redesigned the DoMore Series 7 landscape furniture system, rebranding it the Neo 7 System. The Albi stack chair was introduced by Fixtures in 1987, and continued to be in production some 25 years later. The final contract furniture project was a stack chair for Stylex, the Bounce chair, introduced in 1997 and still in production through 2013. In 1977 the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Art Museum featured an exhibition of Albinson’s furniture designs. In 2005 he donated his design archive to the Special Collections Department at Stanford University.

Don was always curious about the mechanics of things, and approached each project with an element of curiosity, research and engineering, ultimately weaving those elements into the aesthetics of the specific challenge. He mentored and influenced many young designers, and his legacy touched many lives, in a truly positive way. A scholarship was set up in 2013 at Cranbrook Academy of Art, in Bloomfield Hills, MI, rewarding a deserving 3D Design student in the MFA program with a scholarship each year to provide financial assistance. It was the final and fitting gesture to bring everything full circle.

His career efforts have been highlighted in a growing number of books. The following are just a few of the books in which he has been featured:

Eames Design; Marilyn and John Neuhart and Ray Eames, 1989 The Story of Eames Furniture ; Marilyn and John Neuhart, 2010 Eero Saarinen, Furniture for Everyman; Brian Lutz, 2012 The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design; Martin Eidelberg, Thomas Hine, Pat Kirkham, David A. Hanks, C. Ford Peatross, 2006 The Story of the DePree House, Designed by Charles Eames; Max DePree, 2012 Charles and Ray Eames, Designers of the Twentieth Century; Pat Kirkham, 1995 Knoll Design; Eric Larrabee and Massimo Vignelli, 1981

 * Hi. Thank you for contributing, but this isn't the place to create an article, and Wikipedia has a lot of requirements before an article is acceptable; it also has its own way of formatting information, called Wiki markup, that must be used. I can see that you have put some effort into writing an article, but Wikipedia requires everything in an article that isn't common knowledge to be referenced to reliable sources. Please start by reading WP:Your first article, and follow the advice there. And judging by your user name, you also need to read about our policy on conflict of interest. Sorry. --ColinFine (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Link from a reference to a collapsed table
Is it possible to automatically show a table which is by default collapsed upon clicking on a reference linking back to the hidden text? For example, in the article European Patent Convention, there are four notes in the "Notes" section. These four notes originate from a table which is by default collapsed. It would be nice to automatically "open" the collapsed table when clicking on the links from the "Notes" section. Thanks for any hint... --Edcolins (talk) 19:43, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of any way to do this, and is one of the limitations of using collapsible tables. It might be something to submit to Wikimedia as a feature enhancement. Tiggerjay (talk) 14:52, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Verifying permission to use uploaded images ?

 * It is not sufficient that they give permission to use them on Wikipedia: they must agree to license them under one of the copyleft licences that are acceptable to Wikipedia (which allow them to be used for any purpose as long as they are properly attributed).

How do I flag?
Hi there. I was wondering how to flag an article for deletion. I came across a page called 'National anti pudge association' and it does not seem to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. Any advice for how to handle this sort of thing?Dignifiedrice (talk) 21:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There are several different procedures, depending on how likely anybody is to contest the deletion. The details are in WP:Deletion policy. There is a tool you can install called Twinkle, which makes the process much easier to initiate. --ColinFine (talk) 21:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

TOC links to a collapsed section
Is there any way to have a collaped section link the table of contents of an article? I've been working on alcohol laws of New Jersey, which is today's feature article, and there is a section with collapsed tables that we want to link to the table of contents. The TOC list the tables, but it's a dead link. DavidinNJ (talk) 22:09, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey David. I added anchors in between each collapse segment, using the same name as the section header collapsed below it (diff). Looks like it's linking fine now. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:23, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
