I am trying to add headings (key people & revenue) to the main box on the Dyno Nobel page. I copied the formatting of the headings already there, but the information is not showing up. What am I doing wrong?

 Done I changed Key people to Key_people and added a carriage return (<br />) at the end of each line in this edit. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Any idea how to add a revenue line? Jaybird7of9 (talk) 16:11, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. I fixed the revenue. You had capital "R". Lowercase works. See the template for other fields. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:58, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

On the page Dyno Nobel, I don't understand how to add secondary references. I read the info and thought I had done what was suggested there but the notice is still at the top. How can I make this page reflect the secondary sources I have used. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Jaybird7of9 (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

That notice won't remove itself; if the issue has been addressed, an editor will have to remove it. But I don't think the issue has been addressed yet - the article still heavily cites the company's own website, patent applications are written by the company itself and thus also are primary sources, and Wikipedia does not consider itself a reliable source. In place of all those sources we should cite truly independent, reliable sources such as newspaper articles or articles in reputable trade magazines. Huon (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Image transfer

I have a picture from WikiCommons I would like to add to the page Dyno Nobel. It is currently on the Alfred Nobel Wikipage. How can I use this and take all the approvals with it? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AlfredNobel_adjusted.jpg)Jaybird7of9 (talk) 15:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

 Additional information needed – specifically: What precisely do you mean by "approvals"? – PAINE ELLSWORTH ^CLIMAX! 16:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Alfred Nobel

You can use this code...

[[File:AlfredNobel adjusted.jpg|thumb|right|Alfred Nobel]]

...to display the picture. The Wikipedia:Picture tutorial gives other options for positioning and sizing a picture. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:44, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I think I got it. I had this same image previously and it was removed because it did not have the right licenses. Hopefully, using this one from wikicommons will make it so it will not be removed again. Jaybird7of9 (talk) 20:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
