Please help me with...

I am new at Wikipedia, don't know much code. Have been using the beta version to make what few edits that I can. Anyway, I am trying to center a number within one column and do not know how do this. For example the number 55 inside an 8 space column. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and as I have said, I am new at all this and not even sure if I have formatted by question right within my creating user talk page. Thanks

Hi, EagleTech199 – if we assume you are working with "tables", then the ability to center a number inside a column depends on which kind of table you choose to use. The page you should read to find out is:
There are links in that page's hatnote and in the See also section at the bottom of the page that will further aid you with tables if needed. Hope this helps! Painius  02:23, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Adding an image to a wikipedia page

edit

How would one add an image to a Wikipedia article that is already saved as a file? Read the page on uploading the image to a Wikipedia article. Tried some of the code for a jpg, but unable to get it uploaded to the Wikipedia article, which is named Martian Hop. The image uploaded web url is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cover_sleeve_of_the_1963_single_Martian-Hop_by_the_group_The_Ran-Dells.jpg As I have little experience on Wikipedia any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. EagleTech199 (talk) 11:38, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi again, EagleTech199 – did you read Help:Files#Using files? That is a description of how to add an image file to any page, including articles. For more details about this, you can go to Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. Hope this helps! Painius  20:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sports discussion north american football

edit

Hello. I noticed that you created the article in order to ask a question. Unfortunately, the Article Namespace is not the place on Wikipedia to ask sports-related questions (or any form of question for that matter). Such matters are best asked at the Wikipedia Reference desk. As such, I have moved your question to this link. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

How did I mess up trying to add citations?

Please help me with... Been using Wikipedia for about a month and still learning. Tried to add citations to the page "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime" by the band Korgis. It didn't go well as you can see by the Revision history: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Everybody%27s_Got_to_Learn_Sometime&action=history Code kept showing up in the reference section. I first tried the Edit only version but then tried Edit Source and "went down the rabbit hole" trying to fix my problems. I don't want to get my account taken away or locked. What went wrong using the Edit only button or the Edit Source button. What help pages could I utilize. Thanks ahead of time.

I recommend using something like ProveIt. Please note, YouTube is not a valid reference, and see WP:YOUTUBE for using it as an external link. --  Kethrus |talk to me  04:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Reply


When to delete some parts of a song article.

edit

Please help me with... Trying to edit the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody%27s_Got_to_Learn_Sometime There are 2-3 instances in 2 different places of chart positions that have no citation. Is it OK to go ahead and delete these, or should I add [citation needed] for each chart position? Or should I discuss this first on the article's talk page? (which by the way is rarely used so there will probably be no reply.) To note there is the "this article needs additional citations" box but it has been up for 2 years. I have tried looking for verification of the chart positions but seems it either doesn't exist or I would have to travel thousands of miles just to get verification. What is the best way to handle a situation like this? Thank you ahead of time. EagleTech199 (talk) 06:22, 13 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
