to creat ali mansour egyptian actor

Mohamoudelmelegy As a new user, you cannot yet directly create new articles. You may use Articles for Creation to do so, but successfully creating a new article is the most difficult task on Wikipedia. You would be more successful if you get some experience under your belt first, editing existing articles, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates. Either way, you should first read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial.

To write about an actor, you will first need to make sure the actor meets Wikipedia's special definition of a a notable actor; not every actor merits an article on Wikipedia. You will also need independent reliable sources to support the article content. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

I removed the article text from here, as this page is for discussion. 331dot (talk) 08:52, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia search button and search results not working.

Hello.

Something is wrong with Wikipedia - search button does not working correctly as it does not send me to article I want to visit. And if I type article's name partially, it sends me to search results page where article's full name is presented yet I still cannot access to article.

This problem is presence since last night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfapeet (talk • contribs) 14:35, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

If you give us an example of what you've been searching for, we can have a look. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:37, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

This problem is presence with EVERY article I tried to search. Most recently with "The Children of Times Square". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfapeet (talk • contribs) 14:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

No problem here. You say "... article's full name is presented yet I still cannot access to article"; what error message do you get when you try to access the article? As it isn't a problem with Wikipedia, have you tried restarting your computer? And if you're having a problem in one browser have you tried using different browser? --David Biddulph (talk) 14:47, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

No errors. Only "loading circle" appeared for half a second. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfapeet (talk • contribs) 15:00, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Ford V8 Pilot

Incorrect information on the above Wikipedia article. The Ford V8 Pilot saloon was NOT based on the 1935 model 48 model, but was in fact based on the 1936/7 Ford V8 model "22" body shell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Woodieguyuk (talk • contribs) 20:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Woodieguyuk You may want to bring this up on the article talk page(Talk:Ford Pilot) so editors that might follow that page will see it; you will need to have reliable sources to support what you state. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
