Welcome - and images

Welcome, Ytiugibma! I'm glad to hear you're also working on this world-wide project.

Images (which must be your own, or free from copyright issues) must be first uploaded to a common storage area (and given a filename there); you can use this link "Upload file", which also appears in the toolbox area on the left.

After you've done this, you can insert an image with the [[Image:yourfilename]] syntax. For example, if you edit this discussion page you'll see the syntax that shows the picture to the right. There are various options you can insert after the filename: |left/right/center, etc.; see Image and Extended image syntax for more details. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

font

you should be able to use html markup language to control size and color of text.Various options are available. I'd keep things pretty standard for articles but on user pages you are free to do what you like! Hgilbert (talk) 11:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Boxes

{{Help me}}

On some pages, such as Trypsin and Gyroelongated Square Cupola, there are boxes or tables with text and a photo. How are those tables made or modified? What about more complex tables on pages such as Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I experimented with trial and error but remain confused as to how to add, say, text or a picture to one of the tables.

• Those are called infoboxes. Wikipedia:Infobox has more information as to adding a picture and general editing of infoboxes. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 23:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

{{Help me}}

The above help is good for info boxes, but how about tables? I started experimenting with one in my sandbox, and I think I am sort of getting it. But when I look at one such as this one, I am daunted by all the |s and | ||s ad | || |s, not to mention the <br/>s and the !!s and the />s. What is all this stuff. Or, more realistically, where can I learn?

Tables are confusing, I agree. After over a year on wikipedia, I myself still have trouble with them. Help:Table does a pretty decent job with explaning everything though; have you tried that? NuclearWarfare _(Talk) 23:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

No, I will. Thanks

Thanks for the Barnstar...

....it's much appreciated. JimVC3 (talk) 23:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Brian Clark (playwright)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Brian Clark (playwright), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Finding Pages to Edit

{{Help Me}}

Is there any way to search for pages that have maintenance tags, such as "unreliable sources"? How, for example, did you find my {{Help Me}} tag?

You can find lots of pages by clicking the "special pages" link on the left of your screen. It takes you here. You might also want to check WP:BACKLOG

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Brandytrail.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
