Administrator needed to create a redirect
Someone requested the creation of an article on National Academy of Education HERE. The article actually exists, but with a slightly different title: National Academy of Education (NAEd). I tried to create a redirect for National Academy of Education, but found that such creation could only be done by an administrator, due to an unfortunate history of articles with that name. This seems easy to fix, but an admin needs to do it. The best solution might be to rename the "NAEd" version, instead of redirecting to it. Who can help? Lou Sander (talk) 01:51, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Created it for you. Monty  845  01:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, would it make more sense to delete the redirect and move the article there? Seems like the redirect is at the better location... Monty  845  02:01, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Dear all, I have moved the page. All the best, Taketa (talk) 04:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Lupton family
If this is a reasonable suggestion, and I think it is, please add the page Yorkshire to the category section at the very end of this page. Much of this page deals with Yorkshire. 144.139.53.175 (talk) 08:25, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Dear Madam/Sir, the article Lupton family is already part of the category Leeds. The category Leeds is part of "Cities in Yorkshire". As such, I don't think a seperate category Yorkshire is needed. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 09:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

I meant to suggest West Riding of Yorkshire. Please add to categories if you see fit - I sincerely believe it is most relevant144.139.53.175 (talk) 09:18, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Category:Leeds is part of Category:Local government districts in West Yorkshire, which is part of Category:Local government in West Yorkshire, which is part of Category:West Yorkshire. We do not put each member of a sub-category separately into all of its parent categories.  Please read WP:Categorization. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:30, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * However,, as far as I can see Category:Leeds is not directly or indirectly included in Category:West Riding of Yorkshire. West Yorkshire is a very different thing from the former West Riding of Yorkshire. Possibly categories corresponding to cities that were in the West Riding, such as Category:Leeds, Category:Sheffield, and Category:Bradford, should be included in the category. I'm not sure where this should be discussed. --ColinFine (talk) 17:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Perhaps at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire? --David Biddulph (talk) 20:06, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

how much time Article take to get into search result of wikipedia and google search engine
I had wrote an article approx 25 days before but still it is not in a search result of Wikipedia. where is an actual problem.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Icewardha (talk • contribs) 10:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * You made User:Icewardha/sandbox. This is not an article but a userspace darft. I have added Userspace draft which makes a button "Submit your draft for review!", but I suggest you first check out So you made a userspace draft. Userspace drafts are not included in searches by default. It appears in Wikipedia's search if you check the "User" box on the search result page. If a draft submission is accepted then it's moved to the encyclopedia and will quickly appear in Wikipedia searches. It varies how long it takes before external search engines like Google index it.

 * Your account is old enough to upload files so it sounds like you are missing something. The fields with a red asterisk in the upload form are mandatory but one of us can do it. Is it http://www.stagnescollege.org/images/agneslogo.png? PrimeHunter (talk) 16:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Army Aviation Heritage Foundation & Flying Museum page
I was building a page for a Foundation that I volunteer for...the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation & Flying Museum. Last December (for some unknown reason!) I changed my first name used to sign-in from William to Bill. The page was still under construction at that time. Now I am unable to access that page! I have tried to recover it on my own by browsing the Wikipedia FAQ, but haven't had any luck. Could someone please help me recover that page so that I am able to complete the construction & release it for public consumption? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill MacIntire (talk • contribs) 21:39, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I assume you are User:William Macintire. You didn't change username but created a new account where you also capitalized a letter differently. Special:Contributions/William Macintire shows User:William Macintire/Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. The old account still works if you know the password. If you use both accounts then note Sock puppetry. I recommend you stick to one of them. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:07, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * P.S. You can still edit it, even with a new name. Anyone can edit almost any page. User:William Macintire/Army Aviation Heritage Foundation 86.20.193.222 (talk) 23:58, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Fixed with this edit, you just got the syntax slightly wrong. You had [[ instead of | before the description, so it didn't close off the code properly.
 * The normal way is, FILENAME.JPG 86.20.193.222 (talk) 00:01, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
