July 11 Information

Is there anything like AutoWikiBrowser that works in Mac OS X? I haven't seen anything that breaks the various tools down by OS, so I'm guessing it's a "no". Dismas| ^(talk) 00:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't know. Where have you searched? You have probably seen WP:EIW#Tools, Wikipedia:Tools, Wikipedia:Browser notes, and Wikipedia:Tools/Browser tools. That's where I would start. You could also try searching some of the Wikipedia namespaces where people might have mentioned such a thing. If you like to search with Google (and who wouldn't), see {{ Help desk searches}} or {{ Google custom}}. You might find something in the User:, Wikipedia:, and Wikipedia talk: namespaces. More specifically, you could search the AutoWikiBrowser talk archive with {{ Google custom}}:

• search the AutoWikiBrowser discussion archive for: Mac

That finds several instances of your question from other people. Maybe some of the answers are informative (I have not read them). -- Teratornis ( talk) 04:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

No, but you can use tools like Twinkle and Huggle in Safari and Firefox for Mac. Confusing Manifestation( Say hi!) 04:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Can anyone tell me why all the non mainspace pages just went blue? Adam McCormick ( talk) 02:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I remember seeing somewhere (I'll look for it) that it so people realize that it isn't mainspace and isn't part of the "real" encyclopedia. IMO it is too subtle and wasn't announced wide enough to be effective, but whatever. Paragon12321 ( talk) 02:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Lightbot ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is doing its work on the de-linking of dates. Controversy over the edits notwithstanding because that's not my issue but rather I want to have bot edits show because some are relevant but I don't need to see these edits on what seems like every article on my watchlist. I don't think there is a way for one editor's (bot or not) changes not to show, but I figured I'd ask. Thanks! _{TravellingCari} ^{the Busy Bee} 02:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Sort of: you can hid bot edits in your watchlist, however it may not act as you expect. If an article was last edited by a bot it simply will not show up on your watchlist; it will not show the prior "non-bot" edit. It is also an "all or nothing" setting, affecting all watched articles, and all registered bots. Tiggerjay ( talk) 07:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi. I registered on this week's Monday afternoon and 'my preferences' page denotes that I have 20+ edits. The rule says that usually one will be Autoconfirmed once a user is registered more than 4 days and has more than 10 edits. I would like to use the upload function. Could someone check my status (I checked last time and I was not Autoconfirmed) and tell me how I can reach Autoconfirmed status please? Any help is appreciated! Ben K rox!!

I have several new wikis that I would like to write. I have also read all the applicable help pages but have not really found any concrete answers. The problem is a lot of the information I have gathered is from old bulletins, magazines, journals, (most of which are not on the internet) and a significant amount of primary historical documents (i.e. correspondence, meeting minutes, agendas, constitutions, etc.). Now, I know how to treat primary sources on wikipedia, that is, I can only use primary sources as sources of fact and am not allowed to interpret the primary source, and that's fine with me.

I have two questions:

1.)Can I cite off-line secondary sources, such as a phd thesis, magazine, journal, etc? Or do they have to be made available online somehow?

2.)What about primary historical documents? (letters, meeting minutes, briefs--stuff that you would find in a national archive or university library). Do they have to be scanned and uploaded first or can they just be properly cited, like in a magazine or peer-reviewed academic journal? Nocandu1976 ( talk) 03:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

In response to #1, YES! Secondary sources of any sort that are considered reliable are able to be used (as per WP:V), see Category:Citation templates, specifically those that are named as {{cite XXX}}. In answer to ur second question, you can sort historical documents like any other. - ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel _Alexandria 03:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

You seem to be using the word " wiki" to mean what we call an article. A wiki is a Web site that its users can edit, using (minimally) a Web browser. For example, the English Wikipedia is a wiki (a very large one). -- Teratornis ( talk) 04:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Someone added this picture of xkcd author Randall Monroe. It says it's been digitally modified by being "recropped." If you look at the original picture you'll notice the new version also has a digitally added mustache. I've undone the article changes to link to the modified picture, but I don't know what to do with the edited picture. Is it allowed to stay? Should it be deleted (IMHO, I think so, but I don't know WP's policies that apply here)? DaRkAgE7 _[Talk] 03:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Turns out the person behind it has already been warned for previous vandalism of other images on their talk page. Should they be blocked? DaRkAgE7 _[Talk] 03:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I was recently directed to [2] by another user, however I am not sure how, or indeed where I should enter the js code. Thanks Flaming Ferrari ( talk) 03:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

You would add the code to your monobook.js which is at User:Flaming Ferrari/monobook.js. Note that I have this script and it used to work but no longer does for me. This is quite possibly a result of other changes I've played with and not a problem in the script itself but I thought I'd mention it.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 04:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

(Urdu:علامه عارف حسين الحسينى شهيد) November 25, 1946

The Arabic text is right-to-left and I'm sure this is what is breaking it- the date format properly if you remove the Arabic. There is a way to fix it, but I'm darned if I can remember. -- — —   Gadget850 (Ed)  ^talk - 11:53, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Flailing blindly in the dark and adding the first character listed at Unicode control characters#Bidirectional text control has solved it, for me at least. Algebraist 12:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Snap! That was what I was looking for. Wrapping the date in <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> fixes it as well. There is an Urdu template {{ ur}}, but wrapping the Arabic text in that did not fix it.

McFly's new album is titled as "Radio:ACTIVE". What should the title of the article be? At the moment it's Radioactive (McFly album), but if Go:Audio is allowed, is Radio:Active? I'm asking this because others keep changing the title as no one knows what it should be. -- Stacey _{talk to me} 11:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

If Radio:ACTIVE is the proper name of the album, then it should be the article title. There's no technical reason against it, if that's what you're asking. Algebraist 12:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

This page says "Use standard English for titles even if trademarks encourage otherwise". It seems to suggest that it should be "Radio:Active", which is at least better than "Radioactive". -- Stacey _{talk to me} 12:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

The only time you have to be careful with colons in a title is if the text before the colon matches a Wikipedia namespace, such as "Talk" or "Image". However, "Radio" is not a namespace, so this should not pose an issue at all. -- ShinmaWa^{( talk)} 22:15, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks for taking a look. There is a second biography that is giving us trouble. The infobox has a link to the webpage for her ward. There you will find a biography page which I use as reference [1].

Any advice?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 14:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC) reply

It looks like [3] fixed it. The url contained two wrong '-' characters. My guess: An external editor was used at some time and it added hyphens in the long url where the line wrapped. PrimeHunter ( talk) 16:04, 12 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia,

My name is Brandon. I am very interested in using Wikipedia as a good study source that will help me to learn more about a broad range of educational, scientific, and other serious topics. However, I have just now learned that some consider Wikipedia to be questionable because of its articles' ability to become edited by people who visit the site.

The topics I plan to study are very important to me and I need to make sure that they are completely true. So because of Wikipedia’s easy ability to become edited, I need to know what the details are on the information presented here. Is everything about every topic posted here on Wikipedia completely true at all times? If it isn't, then how can I be sure that what I am reading is true as I would need it to be?

Do the people who run Wikipedia ensure that it remains the way it should be, completely true. And if so, how often do they protect the information here from getting robbed of its truthfulness.

So, in general, what are all the details of people editing the articles with incorrect information and what are all the details of the actions that the people who run Wikipedia make to ensure that its articles are true.

Also, does wikipedia.com have a customer service phone number?

Sephiroth40 ( talk) 19:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Brandon reply

Hello Brandon. I know what you mean.. all of my professors are vehemently anti-Wikipedia too. I believe that most of the editors here are trying to get accurate information to as many people as possible, that false information gets reverted/changed (sometimes it takes a while, that's all) and you should take everything you read with a grain of salt.. even the stuff in big musty books on creaky wooden shelves in dark dank libraries. So far as things getting robbed of [their] truthfulness goes.. we invest things with truth, they haven't got it to begin with. So don't worry about it {:

That's my 2c. Kalindoscopy: un enfant espiègle ( talk) 19:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Brandon, the short answer is that if you are using Wikipedia for serious research, you should not trust it (or any encyclopaedia) for a minute. Wikipedia's use in research is that its quality articles can point you to reliable sources on the topic. Quality articles will have a lot of references, and specific claims will be supported by citations with numbers, like this ^[1]. You can find these by visiting the "References" or "Footnotes" section of a given article. Best of luck, Skomorokh 19:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia makes no guarantee of validity. This doesn't mean that Wikipedia isn't accurate - it's just not accurate all of the time. We have vandals - they're scoundrels who take pleasure in ruining our hard work. Vandals make Wikipedia inaccurate. Wikipedia users attempt to patrol all changes to the encyclopaedia, but they are human and can't catch all the vandalism. Also, we have users who think they can add their opinion or anything else they would like, regardless if it is factual or not. The only way to insure the information you are getting is completely truthful is to compare the Wikipedia entry with that of another encyclopaedia.

As Wikimedia (the non-profit that runs Wikipedia) is not a business, they do not provide customer service, because as they are not a business they don't have any customers. You can ask any other questions you have about Wikipedia here, as that is what this page is for. Xenon 54 19:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I am interested in creating an alternative definition for the word "Drumlin". This definition is not at all related to the previous definition of "Drumlin". I am wondering what I should do in this situation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnyaGilbert ( talk • contribs) 22:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply

By utilizing disambiguation. For the short explanation, you create an article titled Drumlin (something) where the something is what makes it different from the existing article on Drumlin. For example, if Drumlin were the name of an actor, you would create the article Drumlin (actor). Or if Drumlin were the name of a city in Florida, you'd title it Drumlin, Florida. After creating your new article, you place the text: {{For|USE|TITLE}} at the top of the Drumlin article. For example, if it were a city in Florida, it would be: {{For|the city|Drumlin, Florida}} If you read through the page on disambiguation, the first link I gave you, you'll see there is also some stuff about moving the original article and creating a disambiguation page. But this should not be done in this case since a very large number of links already exist to Drumlin and would have to be fixed if that article were moved. You should also read Wikipedia:Your first article to make sure it is appropriate to create an article on this alternative definition of Drumlin. Someguy1221 ( talk) 23:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC) reply
