I've been looking at List of The Beatles songs. It's naturally a very long list, in table form, with a heading row at the top. When I'm 22 screen pages below the heading row it's hard to keep track of which column is which. Having come here just after doing some work of my own in Microsoft Excel, where I used the Freeze Panes function to make the top row visible wherever I am in a long table, the obvious quesion arose - Can we "Freeze panes" in Wikipedia tables?

Check if you are on the secure server (https) on one wiki, and on the insecure server (http) on the other. If so, access the other wiki on the same server. Lynch7 07:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article on artist Vaughn Bodē http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughn_Bod%C3%A9 is incorrectly titled "Vaughn Bodé". The mark over the "e" in "Bodē" is a macron (to show that the "e" is long), and *not* an accent mark. Vaughn pronounced his name "BO-dee"; his son, Mark Bode, states on his web site that his last name is pronounced this way, and I personally heard Vaughn pronounce his own name this way, so there's no doubt that "Bodē" is correct. I've changed "Bodé" to "Bodē" whenever possible on the page, but I don't know how to change the page title, and I don't know what happens to all the links to the page if the title is changed. Also, the page for Mark Bode has the name incorrectly given as "Bodé" as well, so I'll need to change that title, also. (Vaughn used the spelling "Bodē" in the signatures for his artistic work, to show how his name should be pronounced; I believe he didn't always write his name with the macron over the "e". And on his own web page, Mark Bode generally has his own name listed without the macron.)

Thanks for your help.

I live in Melbourne Fl. It says that the majority of the population is White. This is NOT True. The Majority is Black and Latino Culture. You need to revise this information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.71.40 (talk) 14:35, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 97.102.71.40. I looked at the source given in the citation and it seems to check out. So, Melbourne is majority white according to the US Census Bureau. It should be noted that this does not include Melbourne Beach or West Melbourne - I don't know whether that's an issue or not. --FormerIP (talk) 15:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not American, but I'm fascinated with the American perspective on race differences. How does one tell a White from a Latino, apart from accent or language? HiLo48 (talk) 16:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, even the U.S. Census Bureau seems to have given up trying to figure this one out. As our Race and ethnicity in the United States Census article points out, they classify people according to 'race' (whatever that is), and then again according to whether people are of 'Hispanic or Latino origin' or not. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the 2012 census, the Census Bureau separated the issue of "race" from "origin". [1] They ask two questions for each person documented on a census form. Question 8 was "Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin?" Question 9 was "What is Person 1’s race?" For Melbourne, Florida, 6794 people reported they were Hispanic or Latino, and of those, 4413 said their race was white alone (they could have designated more than one race, but few did). Jc3s5h (talk) 16:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's interesting. But in the particular case, even if we decide we are going to discount those people as white (first question is why should we do this in any case?), it only reduces the white population of the city to about 75%. --FormerIP (talk) 16:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of updating/improving an English Wikipedia page. By this I noticed that the same page (same title) already exists in different Wiki languages. At least, I would like to have the for example the German page exactly the same as the English one. I looked for your translation policy which at a fist glance looks very complicated. Anyway, I do not trust automatic translation procedures very much. Somewhere I read that one also just could do it by "hand" whch means just copy the source of the English page to the German one and translate it there, by this at least keeping all boxes, formattings, referencing etc. By doing this, of course, the old page is completely replaced by the new one, only the history is kept. Is this an allowed procedure ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHjmHam (talk • contribs) 14:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "automatic translation procedures" exist, so you may want to read that page again. Machine translations are discouraged really. Please see Wikipedia:Translation/German/Translation advice.

The problem is that different templates have different names in different language Wikipedias. {{Reflist}} in the English Wikipedia, for example, is {{Listaref}} in the Spanish Wikipedia. Copy-pasting entire articles in such a manner will result in broken formatting. That said, there is no requirement for different language versions to present the same information in exactly the same way. In fact, it might be detrimental, given that you could be overwriting sourced information for a rather superficial reason. Instead, you should move snippets of relevant information with good judgement, and then credit your sources. Of course, you should also be fluent in both German and English. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 15:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are not autoconfirmed (which you are not), you will have to request confirmed permissions at WP:PERM. Could I also ask which company you are from? I would suggest that you read our guidelines on notability and ensure that the company is notable enough for Wikipedia. Also, it is strongly recommended that you do not edit articles which you have a conflict of interest in (such as a company which you work for), as this will make it very difficult for you to write from a neutral point of view.

Hans Kammerlander doesn't have a page on the English Wikipedia. Surely his achievements, e.g. with Reinhold Messner being the first climbers to climb two 8000m mountains without returning to base camp, justify a page. So, I'll add a referenced stub. http://www.planetmountain.com/english/special/people/kammerlander/cv.html But, what I'd like to know is if there isn't a page because no-one's made one. Or if there isn't a page because a previous page has been deleted. How can I find if a missing page is because one's been deleted? Ross-c (talk) 20:45, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your question in general: type the name of the article in the URL (for example, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Kammerlander) instead of searching for it. If an article has existed but was deleted, the page will give you the most recent portion of the deletion log (which will say who deleted it, when it was deleted, and why it was deleted), but there won't be a deletion lot for a page that never existed. Please note that this is only valid for the precise title; if someone had created the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_kammerlander then going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Kammerlander wouldn't help at all.

Sometime ago, I submitted an article on (late) Dr A.K. Nazmul Karim for publication. Yet, when I google wikipedia and hit the search button for his name nothing comes up! Why is that? I have spent a lot of time researching. Everything in that article is accurate. I read books written by him, read interviews given by him to the local newspapers when he was alive, talked to people who knew him personally. He was the foremost sociologist of his time. There was no discipline for studying Sociology in his country. He recognized the importance of studying and recording society + culture and he started the Sociology Department at his University. I know future generations will look up his name for reference + study. There needs to be a place/page they can go to!

I'm trying to contribute to an artile that is terribly out of date. It was tagged in May 2010 with the "Update" template. The article desperately needs an expert or semi-expert looking at the thing. Should I tag it "Out of date" as well? Which template is designed to sort the most attention, or should I use both? J.D. Hooijberg (talk) 02:58, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to me as if {{Out of date}} is for use in situations that are more serious; e.g. we'd use {{Update}} on New York City if the latest census data was from 1930, but we'd use {{Out of date}} on Sudan if it still said that the country bordered Uganda. Saying "As of 1930, the population was..." is quite accurate but easily able to be updated, since the 1930 census data hasn't changed, while "Sudan borders Uganda" is not accurate because the recent creation of South Sudan means that Sudan doesn't border Uganda. Therefore, if the article has statements that are factual but able to be updated, I'd suggest that you use {{Update}}, while if it has statements that were once factual but aren't anymore, I'd suggest {{Out of date}}. Nyttend (talk) 04:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense to me (although the difference really is a nuance). Thanks a lot for your effort explaining this. As it is an country's economy article, {{Update}} is the appropriate label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdhooijberg (talk • contribs) 04:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Negative feedback amplifier (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The most recent addition to that article has already been undone. The problem was that the closing </ref> tag was on the same line as the equals signs that trigger the heading - those equals signs have to be at the start of a line in order to work. Other than that, the reference syntax was correct.

The edit was undone with the extra comment "Wikipedia should not be used to promote a book", so you should begin a discussion at Talk:Negative feedback amplifier before trying to add the book to the article again. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The place to suggest improvements to an article is on the article's talk page.

how do i delete my browsing history in wiki?

tks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.87.52.86 (talk) 14:09, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If by "wiki" you mean Wikipedia, it doesn't keep a record of your browsing history. It records pages which you have edited (see the "My contributions" tab at the top of the page, or 98.87.52.86), but of course if you do not have a registered account and your IP address changes, it will record only the edits made by your current IP address (and that might include edits made previously by other users with the same IP address). The record of your browsing history will be stored in your browser, so it is to your browser that you would need to go if you want to delete it. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:24, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia will record any edits you make to pages in your contributions; you cannot edit or clear this history. Wikipedia does not, however, record your browsing history (the pages you visit). These will still be recorded in your own browser history and you can clear this in the same way you would normally clear/edit your browser history.

i hae been searching your article about schools in ipoh, Malaysia. I have been trying to trace my old school, Raja Perempuan School. I was a pupil there until i left school in 1961. Then i left Ipoh to come to Englang to do my nursing. I recently started to look into my childhood days and been reading items about Ipoh from your site and i realised that almost all the roads have now been changed. So even the name of the road is not known to me anymore. I only know that Raja Perempuan School was situated in Chamberlain Road. I remember the school so well, as we,the pupils of the school were the ones who built the road. I remember we were made to dig the stones from the ground. I remember one day, one of my classmates had an accident with a stone and one of her fingers , i think it was her thumb, received the injury and she was bleeding. I remember we had to stop the digging and were all given two sweets each. I think that was to sweeten us from reporting the incident to our parents. The headmistree was an Indian Lady, and if my memory serves me well, her name was Mrs Dara. I remember some of my teachers: Miss Chinniah (Maths)Mrs D'Souza(English). Those are the only 2 i can recall....there were several others. I remember whenever we had a rpots day, it was attended by the Sultan od Perak...cant remember his name but he wore dark-rimmed spectacles. i have alos been searching for different places but because th emajority of places have had their names changed, i cant find them. I would dearly love to see photos of my old school again. Would be so nice if can find anything about my old hometown.

Hi,

I am trying to change the external links on the article about the charitable organisation I am part of to link to our new website, but can't find how to delete the old one. The old link was posted by a former employee who was recently fired and has since hijacked our previous site, forcing us to make a new one. He is continuing to use the old site, pretending that he still works here and is generally damaging our reputation (we are a very small organisation so his actions are quite serious!). We are going to great lengths to remove all association between our organisation and the now fraudulent site and really want to make sure wikipedia has the correct link.

Apologies for not posting the page, but if it's OK, I would rather not post the name of the page here as I am reluctant to attract the attention of the individual in question. He is actively pursuing a hate campaign against a number of individuals in our organisation so I would like to do this quietly if I can. Can anyone give me some advice on how I can get this fraudulent site off the page? I couldn't find how to do it anywhere.

Again, sorry for giving quite vague details on the page I am editing, I hope it makes sense!

If, however, you don't mean an external link but a reference, you'll need to go to the section where the reference is called up. From the references section, click the up arrow ^ at the left hand end of the reference (or the superscript ¹ if the reference is used more than once), and that should take you to the relevant section. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on pages related to the county of Monmouthshire, England. I want to complete the coverage of "listed buildings" within the county, that is buildings which are notable for their special architectural or historical importance. But I don't know how to do it when the building I want to tag as, for example, a "Grade I listed building", doesn't have its own article but is mentioned within another article. An example might best illustrate my issue:

The Church of St Jerome, Llangwm, Monmouthshire is a Grade I listed building in Monmouthshire. So I want to tag it as a Grade I listed building, so that it appears in the list of "Grade I listed buildings in Monmouthshire". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Grade_I_listed_buildings_in_Monmouthshire)

But St Jerome doesn't have its own page, appearing within the page on Llangwm. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llangwm,_Monmouthshire) Indeed the church probably doesn't merit its own page but it should be listed as a Grade 1 listed building. I can't just tag the Llangwm page as that mentions other buildings in Llangwm and it wouldn't make clear which building was the listed building.

So I'm stuck. But I feel sure there must be a way to tag a building, or anything other "thing", which doesn't have its own page but does warrant a tag.

Really grateful for any help. KJP1 (talk) 19:01, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is no problem with an article containing a redlink if the subject of the link is likely to be notable and warranting the creation of its own article.

I frequently use Google to find WP articles because of the many useful search features it provides. In some cases, though, Google returns a poor mix of articles, talk pages, user pages, "wikipedia:" pages, category pages, media pages, etc., which makes it hard to find the articles, which is the aim of my search. I am looking for a way to guide Google to only (or mostly) main namespace articles so that the results are useful. (I know about namespace selection on WP's own search engine, but I often find that search inadequate to my task.)

I have looked in vain for searchable text that exists only on article pages. I have looked in vain at WP URLs and page titles for unique, searchable text. If such text exists, I could add it to my query and thus Google would return only the useful pages.

Do you know of such text to use, or of any other method or trick to get Google to return just articles? -R. S. Shaw (talk) 19:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is the (preferred or required) notation for indicating that something is a unit in a table header?

Observed examples: in a single article, Water (data page), there are four different styles:

1. Melting point of ice at various pressures. No special notation, the unit is just listed at the end, with only a space separating it from the rest.

2. Water with dissolved NaCl. Comma before the unit.

3. Standard conditions. Unit on a separate line.

4. Formulas. "in" before the unit.

And in Properties of water:

5. Heat capacity and heats of vaporization and fusion. () around the unit.

Hi, just started having an issue with the infobox and the centered image in Fluorine conflicting. It was NOT an issue for weeks before, just started right now. Seems to be only in IE9 an issue. Mozilla was fine and so was Chrome. And even IE was fine until just now (fine for several days).

FYI, moving the image to the left did not help (with space separators). Still have the conflict (basically image will not display until after the infobox is done).

If I allow to text wrap (do not want to because looks like crap and section conflict), will work.

I happened to be reading an article on "Fox News USA" and found a story which discusses typing certain things into the "Wikipedia" search engine to come up with very "interesting" topics...to say the least. The example that they had in the "Fox News USA" article was to type in "Define English Person"...which came up with the very top line saying "Cunt" is the definition for that phrase and/or person. Since I am German, I decided to type in "Define German Person" and it came up with the word "Evil" showing a picture of Adolf Hitler and discussing Germans being "Evil" through many different forms, including that ALL Germans are Nazi/Hitler Loving people.

This should NOT be up here under ANY circumstance. I and others that I have shown and e-mailed this article to are appalled. I think that the CORRECT definition for a German / English and/or any other nationality need to be properly written or deleted.

I WILL go to many *MORE* news papers and forums (That have not yet run articles on this topic) if this is not completed in a reasonable amount of time. A Common, wide search should not contain this type of material. I would hate for any of my friends children that are growing up, that do not know proper meanings of words and definitions, while doing homework etc. to get this kind of material and think that these are the REAL definitions for Nationalities of People. I do not find "Cunt" being a English person; nor "Evil" describing myself (as a German) and many others, nor being tied still to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

I can see why this site has been in so much trouble in the past. These are simple things that should NEVER be overlooked. I doubt I am the first one to complain about this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaligulaRompe (talk • contribs) 05:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't happen when you search on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia articles for those words, cunt and evil, are the first results when you search on Google though.

(edit conflict)Typing "Define English Person" on the Wikipedia search engine comes up with this, with Career being the first entry, not cunt. In fact, I can't find "cunt" on any of the search results. Typing "Define German Person" does not return an "evil" response. The search engine also searches in the words in the article, not the article title alone, which could result in some of the search results being not the article you wanted. Regards, Hallows AG (talk) 06:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As others have said, this is a Google search and has nothing to do with Wikipedia's own search function. Furthermore, you are reading the Google results page wrong. Google has a feature where searches starting with "Define" attempt to make a definition, but the definition is marked specially and followed by other results which are not supposed to be definitions. The Google search Define German Person says:

Web definitions: (German People) The Germans (Deutsche) are people descended from several Germanic tribes that inhabited what became the German-speaking...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_People

This looks fine to me. The first normal search result not part of the Define feature happens to be the Wikipedia article Evil which contains all three words in the search, but the words are apart and the article makes no claim that Germans are evil.

The references you provided, www.sajnicole.com (her website) & www.cambridgeinternationalgroup.com (her firm) are not independent sources, which cannot be accepted to establish her notabilty. To satisfy Wikipedia's requirements, she would need to be covered sufficiently in multiple external, independent sources. Self-published sources are only acceptable after notabity has been established, and usually only permitted for personal details that are uncontested and not covered elsewhere, since they can, more often than publications with a reputation for verifying facts, be mistaken, misremembered, or inaccurate. Graduated X High School 1968 is likely acceptable, graduated 3rd in her college class would need a verifiable source. Dru of Id (talk) 14:44, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When an event's year, but not its exact date, is known in the Islamic calendar only, the event's Gregorian year may be uncertain. For example, 986 AH corresponds to 1578-1579 AD. How should Wikipedia articles about such events be categorized in terms of their date? For this example, should it be categorized as both a "1578" event and a "1579" event? Or as a "1570s" event? Or as a "986 AH" event? --İnfoCan (talk) 16:23, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I assume there are no WP:RS that do establish the answer? In that case, maybe a "986 AH" cat, whose page explains the Gregorian overlap/uncertainty and is itself in both Gregorian-year event cats. DMacks (talk) 20:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, I can’t agree that it was a good block: I thought admins were not supposed to give blocks for disputes where they are involved.

Also (not to say Hurricanehink was wrong about category 3) I can’t find at the link he/she put on the anon’s talk page where it says category 3. He/she might have done a better job verifying the change. —teb728 t c 20:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I posted a link to the tropical cyclone report, which indicates the storm was a major hurricane (or Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale). This is backed up by the update in the Atlantic hurricane best track (scroll to the 2nd storm from the bottom). The user reverted four times in a 24 hour period, and given the edit summaries, the user was clearly disrupting. I tried to initiate dialogue by pointing out the tropical cyclone report. Although not a formal warning of 3RR, I hoped that would stop the edit warring, but seeing as the person ignored the report, I did a standard 24 hour block. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have been trying to add a line of text to a table and to reference that addition (name of a type of pottery manufacturer) and just cannot get it straight on ref lists and ref names. I was posting to my sandbox and thought I had it but when I saved to real (wikipedia) site, I drew an error, which freaked me out (don't want to break it). Here's how I tried to edit the table:

| Malibu Ceramic Works || Topanga || 1979–present || Tile, pots, terra cotta floor tile || <ref name="mcw">{{cite web|title=Malibu Ceramic Works|url=http://www.malibuceramicworks.com/|accessdate=29 January 2012}}</ref> 
|-

The Wikipedia url is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_pottery

I just don't get the sequencing of creating and/or citing--are they done differently (footnote first, with name ("mcw') and then call that name when adding to table?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Dschag (talk) 20:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)DanS[reply]

Fixed your code above for you. You can copy paste it into the table on the article. The way refs work, you put the first full citation between <ref name="mcw">...</ref> and it will automatically show up in the references at the bottom. If you want to use the same reference on multiple parts of the article, you can use the name parameter in the first ref, then use a shortened version everywhere else, like <ref name="mcw" />. If you're only using it once in an article, there's no need to use the name parameter, just <ref>...</ref>. Hope that helps! — Bility (talk) 20:18, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing research as an intern through primary Source Documents about a photographer who was once the Dean of the foundations Department at Pratt Art Institute and sat on many boards at other Art colleges in America. He passed away recently and left all His lecture notes to the workshop I Am an intern at. My online research turned up nothing about Him. I Have looked through wiki:Helpdesk and not found anything about citing primary Documents, Such as Personal letters Or his resume. Help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.100.128.175 (talk) 20:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying you want to use unpublished sources? All content must be verifiable by published reliable sources. And the sources that demonstrate notability must be independent of the subject. —teb728 t c 20:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also please see WP:PRIMARY. Note that primary sources ("sources close to the event") can still be used to source uncontroversial facts. But again, they must be reliably published first. This can be in anything from newspapers to magazines to webpages just as long as they are accessible to the general public in some way and thus can be used to verify information. Letters and resumes, however, are not published material.

Also note that offline published material such as paper periodicals, books, academic articles, etc. are perfectly acceptable, provided that you include enough information so that a reader wishing to verify the source will be able to identify the exact publication. You aren't restricted to information posted online.

As for notability, being an academic (and deceased), his criteria is a bit different from the usual biographies (i.e. it does not depend on how many tertiary sources are of him, as it does in Wikipedia:Notability (people)). Please see Wikipedia:Notability (academics) instead. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 21:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Once you have written your book and had it published by a reputable publisher, then it can be cited as a source for a Wikipedia article. Until then it is possible that he will not meet Wikipedia's criteria.

At Ellipsis – in Japanese and Chinese, the 3-dot leaders “…” (U+2026) appear on the baseline, because the English text displays in a Western font.

I don't know the legal rights and all that. But I noticed someone is selling access to Wikipedia on the PlayBook:

http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/76936/?lang=en

Except, it really is just a link to the Wikipedia website that they are charging 1.99 for. I don't know if it is a legal issue or not but I thought I would open the conversation up in case this is something you wanted to be aware of. I'm not sure if he is actually copying Wikipedia data to his own server or just charging for access to the website - but I thought you should know. I didn't see where else to post it.

Cross Road (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Since the encyclopedia covers so many topics, it is not unusual for a page title to mean different things to different readers and editors.

For example, if you go to Amazon.com and search for "Modesto Cartagena" you will find a book that goes for $73. whose contents are articles from Wikipedia. We the editors in Wikipedia spend countless hours researching and writing for the project with the intention that our work is shared and used by those less fortunate. We do this for free. How is it possible that our work is being published and others who have done nothing in regard to making contributions, are profiting from it? Is there a deal between Wikipedia and these people? Where are the earnings of our work going to? What does Wikipedia have to say about this? Is it fair that others are making money from our work, I think not. I want to know what is going on and what is Wilipedia's stance in the issue. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:06, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We've always known about this. Unethical people exploiting our work is not illegal because we use a free license, there's nothing we can do. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that it is our mission to make knowledge freely available -- not to protect it because someone is profiting from "our" content. While it may sound unfair, it is not a big issue; you can still get it for free somewhere else. Commercialization is not necessarily a bad thing. Where do you think Linux would be today if you couldn't make money from it? Editors should be proud when their content is used, not angered. jonkerz ♠talk 16:21, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So I was browsing List_of_Indian_princely_states#States_of_the_Punjab when I noticed that the Princely State of Sidhowal seems to have the exact same flag as Venezuela. This is obviously wrong and has been for 2 years now. Would someone who knows how be able to fix this?--SelfQ (talk) 18:15, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
