 * You don't. This is Wikipedia, an encyclopedia full of articles about notable topics written by impartial third parties; not Myspace or Facebook. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  05:31, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi IP user, I have fixed if for you. You had missed the |150px after the |thumb, see MOS:IMGSIZE NZFC  (talk) 05:34, 18 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This is a little nit picky, but just FYI NZFC, it's generally preferred to use an upright scaling factor for images rather than px when possible.  G M G  talk   12:48, 18 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks  G M G , that is good to know. Will keep that in mind in future.  NZFC  (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi as you were told a few days ago, you need to bring this up on the article's talk page, not here.  Rojomoke (talk) 10:31, 18 October 2017 (UTC)


 * [Edit conflict] Jjoshua39, the appropriate place to raise concerns is on the Talk page of the article in question: you have already left a cryptic message there, whose import is unclear. You need to specify there exactly which pieces of text you think should be changed, what you think each should be changed to, and provide supporting references to Reliable Sources for all such changes. Other editors may wish to discuss your proposals, but if (after a few days) no-one objects to any given change you are free to be bold and make it provided that you provide an inline citation for each changed piece of information, making sure that your sources are not less reliable that any currently used for what you think is incorrect. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.0.129.189 (talk) 10:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Apparently you do not have a question. Please don't post at this page other than to ask a question about how to edit Wikipedia. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 13:03, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

in-article disambiguation template at the top of the page
Greetings, How does one fix an opening disambiguation template? I have tried to add disambiguation to the searchterm result "cybercell", as all across India, cybercell is known as a term referring to cybercrime investigators (Police Force of India), but wikipedia returns only one article, about E-Coli.
 * You're probably looking for Template:For or Template:For2. Crow  Caw  18:41, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

That looks about right, having a go. Thank You126.209.0.225 (talk) 19:24, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hatnotes should link to existing articles and those articles should have content about the topic. I have fixed it.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CyberCell&diff=805979425&oldid=805963891] PrimeHunter (talk) 21:34, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Question about time for edits to be reviewed?
Hello,

I submitted an edit to add an organization and its description, following closely the guidelines about sources and conflict of interest. I did this a few months ago, but I still have not received answer or seen it published or deleted. How long do these requests usually take?

Thanks.

Best, Camila

 * Unfortunately you can wait for many months and years before it is created. It depends on interest of editors to this topic. You can try to create a draft yourself. Ruslik_ Zero 20:14, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Irritating notices
OK. there are pages A,B,C,D and Z and Template Q and I watch page Z. Template Q is already on pages A, B, C, and D. I add Z to template Q. When someone edits page A and adds anything, I get the notice that a link was made page A to Z, even though the changes to A have nothing to do with page Z. Is there any way that I can keep from getting the same notice when pages B, C, and D next change *other* than to stop watching Z?Naraht (talk) 23:58, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * .....Page link .--Moxy (talk) 00:37, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You didn't post a real example so I cannot check who created "Z" but it sounds like you describe the "Page link" feature at Special:Preferences which is supposed to notify you about links to pages you created and not pages you watch. You can disable the feature completely. I don't think you can limit the feature to omit links via templates. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:42, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 'Z' in this case is Theta Sigma Upsilon, which as was pointed out, I did create. So no way to keep getting notices for pages that I created last week while disabling it for those I created years ago. Hmm. I think a trip to WP:VPI will be in my future, as soon as I figure out what...Naraht (talk) 00:54, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
