August 3

Name

How are these two (1, 2) called in English? I would like to write about this puzzle since I have needed sources. However, they aren't in English, so I actually don't know the most important thing — the name of the puzzle. 178.221.213.175 (talk) 01:45, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I own a thing like those, but I have never known a name for it. And I wouldn't call it a puzzle – it's a set of stuff that lets children be creative and make pictures. Maproom (talk) 08:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I've never seen one, but Amazon sells them, and they seem to be called something like 'peg boards' or 'mosaic boards'. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:47, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I get the best results for "Peg Board Set" Ditch ∝ 15:14, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Infobox Non-profit

Infobox Non-profit is suddenly not showing Founder names. They are correctly entered, but fail to show up in the box. Used to work fine.pagnol (talk) 02:07, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Can you give an example of what you are trying to do? What page is this for? {{Infobox non-profit}} does not have a field for "Founder names" RudolfRed (talk) 02:52, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I have undone the most recent change to {{Infobox non-profit}}, since it removed the "founder" and "type" parameters without explaining why. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Correct format for reference

Please help me give the correct format for the new reference for article - Albert Kitson, 2nd Baron of Airedale. I actually would prefer the link in this article to be to the article NOT to be "Holy Roman Empire" but instead "Duchy of wurttenburg" but the 2 dots over the u I just cannot do!! Thanks Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.153.199 (talk) 09:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your work above - PLEASE help me with the referncing - URLL's on article Albert Kitson 2nd Baron Airedale. cheers Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.153.199 (talk) 10:44, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I linked Duchy of Württemberg in [1]. See Diaeresis (diacritic)#Keyboard input for some ways to write ü depending on your computer. Or make a Wikipedia search on Duchy of wurttenburg. That suggests Duchy of Württemberg where you can copy-paste the title. The references have several problems. I don't have time but maybe others will help. See Template:Cite web for the documentation of the template you are trying to use. We don't use Google translations. Cite the original page and use the language and trans_title parameters at Template:Cite web. For a journal you can also consider to use Template:Cite journal. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:48, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Linguistically, I think that's an umlaut rather than a diaeresis, but typographically they are the same.--ukexpat (talk) 14:54, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! First always please follow your posts here with ~~~~ so we may understand who is writing and can link to your userpage if necessary. Second you would best be served raising these concerns in a polite, assuming good faith manner on that article's talk page or perhaps the wikiproject talk pages listed on that articles talk page. Third, anyone can make constructive edits to Wikipedia so an editors religion or race (not certain how it is you are sure of the race or religion of editors on wikipedia) is inconsequential. ^{Market St.⧏} _{⧐ Diamond Way} 12:11, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi editors RE albert Kitson 2nd Baron Airedale

I realise now that my 4th reference for the above article is infact a page fron the London Gazette - "Supplement (List of attendant Peers of the Realm) for the Coronation of King George V at Westminster Abbey, September, 1911" NOT a report on the Investiture of the Prince of Wales. I am unable to "get in " and change it. Please help me cheers Ted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.153.199 (talk) 09:52, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

list of people from Sacramento, CA

Robert Brookins He was raised in Sacramento,CA. He started a group called Robert and the Fondells. He also played with Earth, Wind and Fire, and other notable artist. He was also a solo artist, producer, and composer. Robert was a mentor as well and mentor other young artist in the field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.163.209 (talk) 15:32, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

We have no article on Robert Brookins, so he should not be added to the list. If an acceptable article is ever created on him, then we could add one. Remember, not all professional musicians (or bands) are notable enough to merit an article in an encyclopedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:29, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

File:Johnny Angel Wendell LA, CA Oct. 2012.jpg

I am the owner of this photo and do not know how to keep it from getting deleted. I would like to place it in the info box but can not figure out for the life of me how to do it. I would appreciate any help. I just keep getting messages that it will be taken down in 10 days. Further proof that the photo is mine can be located on my flickr page here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/traceycr62/8618698606/in/set-72157633158242461

I also have been trying to get a friend to help me Toni O'dell. Thank you for your patience and help.

Hello, Tracey. The problem is that on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog; or to put it another way, we have no way of knowing that you are the person who owns this copyright. If you wish to licence the photo in a way acceptable to Wikipedia, please follow the procedure in WP:Donating copyright materials - but be aware that permission to use it on Wikipedia only is not enough. If you do choose to licence it, then it would be better uploaded to Wikimedia commons, so that all Wikimedia projects can use it.

Once the copyright is sorted, you link to it using a wikilink, not a URL; so [[File:Johnny Angel Wendell LA, CA Oct. 2012.jpg]]. However infoboxes are inconsistent: some of them expect a link like that, while others just want the filename. You need to read the documentation of the infobox, for example Template:infobox musician. Either way, you will need to get the file name exactly right, as to spacing, capitalisation, and punctuation. --ColinFine (talk) 19:31, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

@Tracey Capobianco: Please be warned that we can't accept copyrighted materials, which your flickr page says [(c) All Rights Reserved]. If you want to change that, go into the image's settings, and choose a following license - CC-BY-SA, CC-BY, CC-0, Public Domain - then we can use it. Please be aware of the rights you are releasing it under before releasing it :) ~Charmlet ^-talk- 23:21, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

How to add a translation of an article in a different language

Hello,

I'd like to translate the Haitian Literature article into Haitian Creole, but I can't change the title of the article to Creole. So the Haitian Creole article title is "Haitian literature" instead of "Literati Ayisyen." How do I change this?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ToLiveDeliberately (talk • contribs) 19:39, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't know why ht:Haitian literature exists, but you should be able to create an article at ht:Literati ayisyen. --  Gadget850 ^talk 20:03, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Need support posting about a new fitness concept

Hello, My name is Hayden J. I am the operating officer for Raiderfit LLC. We have created a new workout system and wanted to post the concept of the system on wiki. The concept is called P.A.S.S.S.E.S System. It is a concept built from former special forces operators who have years of fitness training. We wanted to teach people about the right way to train your body to achieve maximum results. We would like to post some pictures as well to reinforce some of the P.A.S.S.S.E.S System points.

Thank You, H. J. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raiderfit (talk • contribs) 21:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Does this topic meet the notability requirement to have an article? RudolfRed (talk) 22:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Please also read Wp:coi In short, it is almost certain that you should not be adding this material. --SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
