I recently stumbled across this article, and there are so many things wrong with it I really don't know what to tag it with. Suggestions? Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme 17:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Whoa! That article looks bad! No citations or sources and only external link is to a site of pictures of a bombing. I tagged it for cleanup but it may require a re-write. and I also removed some of the obvious nonsense. --Hdt83 Chat 19:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm working on the List of Texas A&M University people, a list of notable alumni, former students, faculty, and presidents of Texas A&M. I'm trying to figure out a way to indicate former students (those who did not graduate from the university). I thought about adding an asterisk next to former students, but I am wondering if there is a better idea to distinguish alumni from former students. Any thoughts? By the way, at Texas A&M there is no such thing as an "alumnus" as people who attended A&M are all considered former students ; that's why the subtitle says "notable former students".

How can I stop getting unwanted messages on my talk page? Hallpriest9 (Talk | Archive) 19:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What are you referring to? You haven't recieve any messages on your Talk page so far. You can't simply protect your Talk page entirely, as it's intended as the place where people can contact you if they need to discuss an article or your actions. -- Kesh 21:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually the talk page has received messages [3] but today it was redirected to the user page (where no messages have come yet). That sounds like a bad idea to me. Redirecting the user page to the talk page is OK. PrimeHunter 22:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, good catch. I missed it had been redirected to the User page. Yes, as PrimeHunter says, it's a bad idea to redirect your Talk page to your User page, especially when your link for "Talk" on your User page goes right back to the Talk page. The Talk page is intended for people to leave comments to you, as well as warning messages when your actions are questionable. I would suggest letting those messages remain. -- Kesh 22:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Heed the warnings that people are putting on your Talk page, and they won't need to leave the warnings there in the first place. Corvus cornix 04:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do when an IP starts a talk page like a test, for example inserting random text, images, etc? How do I tag the talk page for deletion? —May the Edit be with you, always. (T|C) 20:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If it's a Talk page attached to an article, I would just blank the content, and put a normal Talk page header on it (like {{talkheader}} ). Just leave the page there until actual content is added. If it's a Talk page with no associated article, use a Speedy Deletion template and mark it as an orphaned Talk page (like {{db-reason|orphaned Talk page, G8}} ). -- Kesh 22:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Got it, thanks. —May the Edit be with you, always. (T|C) 22:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You can also use {{db-talk}} on talk pages with no article. PrimeHunter 22:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a question that has concerned me about kids having Autism. I know a girl that has this and I have gotten told that she has a reversed chromosome that is backwards and I was wondering have you got any answers about this. When I work with her. She just sits by me for like 3 or 4 hours just sitting down being quiet and we both do things to keep her busy. I haven't seen it just yet but one day she just got mad and just took a hunk out of someone's arm and then she just goes over to the person and says she sorry. I don't know what it is. There is just something that sets her off and then she back to her usual self. She is very loving and friendly. I just would like to know how can a person have a---- Reverse Chromosome tht is Backwards?------

Hi,
I've registered, and clicked on the 'edit this page' link, but then the text of the original page is not there for me to edit!??
I've gone to the sandpit, and it's taught me how to make stuff bold, or insert a line etc., but not how the whole system works.
How do I go about appending, correcting, changing an existing page text?
The page I wanted to add to is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multyfarnham
I was born there, and my family founded the monestery there in c1214 [citations will be provided too!,] our family tomb is inside the monastery so I wanted to include a reference to that in the article, but on trying to edit, the text of the article was not available; I only was able to edit the external links and so on.
Regards, Declan --Subskinboi 20:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It sounds as if you clicked the edit link next to the Multyfarnham#External links section heading. However, most of the article text is inside the (too-lengthy) lead section. To edit that text, you must click the edit tab at the top of the article. See WP:LEAD and WP:LAYOUT for guidelines on how to divide the too-lengthy lead section into standard article sections. --Teratornis 21:20, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Click the "edit this page" tab at the top. It sounds like you clicked the "edit" link to the right of External links. PrimeHunter 21:20, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey, hey!!! I was first [4]. Don't insert your answer first just because it's more detailed, better written, more helpful, full of nice wikilinks, and , ehm, forget it ;-) Good answer! I'm striking mine. PrimeHunter 21:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm surprised we got no edit conflict, since I probably had started typing my reply before you did (given that I needed more time to look up the various pages I linked to, and you probably typed yours extemporaneously). I don't know how my reply ended up above yours. Had I seen your reply before I started editing, I would have eliminated redundant wording from mine. Oh well. It would be nice if the Help desk provided a way to let a volunteer know if another volunteer is in the midst of editing an answer to a particular question. One ugly method would be to quickly post something like "I'm working on the answer" to encourage other volunteers to work on another question in the meantime. --Teratornis 16:29, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
