editTranslate a page to English from Malayalam
editHi please transalate this page to English
thank you regards Asha — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.180.148.176 (talk) 08:08, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hey anon. You can always add it to Wikipedia:Requested articles/Sports, although that list is not well maintained. I'm not sure we have a very large community of active editors who speak both English and Malayalam. So if you do speak both languages, you may want to consider reviewing our tutorial on writing your first article, and submitting a translation yourself to our Articles for Creation project.

incorrect entry
editthis entry on the welcome page is not written right. the law did allow all sex acts but has now been changed. i cannot edit the welcome page, so someone else should make a correction. my suggested fix is IN CAPS, below.
The Supreme Court of India strikes down portions of the colonial-era Section 377, thereby NOW making all private consensual sexual acts between adults ILlegal.

- @Mlcred: Hello and welcome. If you believe something that appears on the Main Page("welcome page") is incorrect, it can be reported to WP:ERRORS or Talk:Main Page. As someone who follows that page, I don't really see the distinction between your suggestion and what is there now. 331dot (talk) 14:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- The Main Page states that "all private consensual sexual acts between adults [are now] legal". Mlcred claims that they are now illegal (which seems implausible, and unenforceable). Maproom (talk) 16:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
my profuse apologies to everyone. i absolutely read the entry totally wrong. it is accurate as written. again, sorry for my temporary stupidity. Mlcred (talk) 15:39, 13 September 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlcred (talk • contribs) 15:39, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- No problem. And if you are willing to apologize for something like this, then you'll probably be a better long term editor than a lot of those who edit. Again, welcome.Naraht (talk) 16:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Help:Cite errors/Cite error references no text
editWhat is this error?
Cite error: The named reference e16 was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
page was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awadhi_language — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sattvic7 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Corrected... Lourdes 17:13, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Sattvic7: To actually answer your question (teach a man to fish):
The infobox invokes the named reference e16 with the code<ref name=e16/>, but no reference with that name is defined anywhere in the page. The error was introduced on 7 July, by User:C1MM, in this edit. It removed the infobox parameter|ref=e16, which according to that template's doc generated the required e16 ref. I would leave it to C1MM to determine the appropriate fix in this case. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Replacing old photo with new
editHi there. We just uploaded a new main photo to replace the old main photo and for some reason it is only appearing when you click on the current image. We are wanting to replace the old image we originally uploaded with this new image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trafficcityllc (talk • contribs) 23:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
