I noticed you were having some difficulty with creating redirects. To create redirects you add

#REDIRECT [[TARGET OF REDIRECT]]

to the page. I hope this helps. --Alpha Quadrant ^talk 15:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I got another question though, if I'll be redirecting a word to a specific section of an article, how can that be possible? Thanks. Berniemack (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Berniemack

To redirect a word to a specific article section you write:

#REDIRECT [[TARGET OF REDIRECT#ARTICLE SECTION TITLE]]

This will create a redirect that jumps to a specific secion in a article. For example, Alpha Quadrant redirects to Galactic quadrant (Star Trek). If I wanted the Alpha Quadrant redirect to go to the section "Four quadrants" in Galactic quadrant (Star Trek) I would write:

#REDIRECT [[Galactic quadrant (Star Trek)#Four quadrants]]

I hope that helps you. Best, --Alpha Quadrant ^talk 22:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks User:Alpha Quadrant for the help. Will improve my Wikipedia skills with your help and some reading with the Wiki standards. Berniemack (talk) 22:45, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Berniemack

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 17:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Palibrio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spanish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Author Solutions

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Author Solutions. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:08, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:PCMall Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
