Yay

I moved the article into mainspace. It is now at Mitchell Flint. Good work. DS (talk) 23:45, 6 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi DS. Thank you. I think there are a few spaces that need deleted after some of the commas, and I plan to add a photo in the near future. I'd also like to keep a copy of the file with the coding for backup purposes. How do I proceed from here?
To trim the spaces: you know how to do that by now. To save the code: sure, just copy-and-paste it into a .doc file. To add a photo: ... okay, do you have a photo of Mr Flint to which you own the copyright? All in all, it would probably be better for you to go back on chat and ask for explanations in real time.

Hi. I want to add a pic and caption to my submission. How do I do this? Here is the picture: http://imgur.com/HjKje

Hello, Chris, did you take that photograph yourself or did you find it on the internet? If you took it yourself you can upload it to Wikipedia and link it to your article. We've started to explain it at the Teahouse. Please feel free to ask again if the answer is not clear enough. heather walls (talk) 06:37, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Then add your signature (~~~~) and hit the "Ask my question" button. Looking forward to seeing you around! heather walls (talk) 17:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

How does X work?

edit

Hi all, I have a couple questions.  1_ I posted this in my sandbox and then went to the next step for review - is this the right place to get the post approved and uploaded?  

Can someone review -- there seems to be a problem with my reference tags and my image.

  here is an image of the info box code I was using http://imgur.com/SBWI08S

ChrisRehr (talk) 01:56, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Chris, you needed to remove the "File:" from your text in the infobox. I've done it for you. I will also move your article to AfC space for you. Please always feel free to come to the Teahouse to get help! heather walls (talk) 19:51, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply


Thanks so much, Heather. Sorry for the added "How Does X" work question -- I'm still a newbie, but will work at getting mole efficient at Wikiped1a.
