April 3[edit]

Underlining the name of a section[edit]

OK, on my user page (User: JIK1975), I have a line under the heading "About Me," which I created with this code:

"== About Me =="

However, I try the same thing for the External Links section, and it never works. I can't figure this out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JIK1975 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JIK1975: Could you link to the page that you'd trying to edit? As long as you type == External links == on its own line, it should work as expected. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 03:25, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I played around with your user page a bit, and this seems to have done the trick. OK now? Deor (talk) 04:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The fix worked but I have made a cosmetic change [1] which may reduce the risk of future errors. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Emory University page[edit]

Someone keeps editing the page to make it les organized and generally unpresntable. In addition some removed "all ethnic minoirties" from the alumni page- this is very disturbing. I am an alumni and me and some other students have attempted to make a more appealing wiki page that better reflects other university wikis. However, someone, who seems to have poor intentions keep reediting the page to be unpresentable and unorganized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superdude112 (talk • contribs) 04:00, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Superdude112: Your best bet is to bring this up at Talk:Emory University, so others interested in working on the article can participate in the discussion. --Gaff (talk) 04:33, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I inadvertantly uploaded the wrong photo on 2 April 2015[edit]

In uploading a photo of jazz double bassist James Aton today, I accidentally selected the wrong image. Although Mr. Aton appears in the image, he is not the bassist in the picture. And also I do not know the proper ownership or copywrite, if any, of the image I accidentally uploaded for use with this Wickipedia link: List of jazz bassists. I request that the editors NOT publish this incorrect image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strongbower (talk • contribs) 13:09, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want the image to be deleted?--ukexpat (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How to change/correct a topic title[edit]

I am a member of the Board of Directors of the West Michigan Symphony. When I search Wiki for this organization I find a stub article referencing the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra. Since the orchestra is only one component of the West Michigan Symphony I would like to change the article title to West Michigan Symphony, then reference the orchestra as one of several components of our organization. If I am able to change the title, I intend to edit the existing article to add much more useful content.

Is it possible to make this change? Dreamfollower (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Before you do anything else please read this guidance. We would much prefer that you use the article's talk/discussion page to suggest changes to the article, rather than make them yourself.--ukexpat (talk) 18:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
