July 30[edit]

Hidden content[edit]

I am seeing two separate entries (with different content) for July 29 on the page Portal:Current events. But when I try to edit either I end up at the second one. I can't find any way to get to the entry that appears first. Some template voodoo gone wrong? Rmhermen (talk) 00:39, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted a wrong edit to Portal:Current events/2019 July 30 which changed the date.[1] PrimeHunter (talk) 01:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for adminship[edit]

What does it mean to have "A request for adminship is open for discussion." on my watchlist page? Help me understand thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LXA43 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever anyone decides to try to become an administrator, then all editors (that includes you) are invited to review the request. I have no idea why anyone would want that thankless task, but thankfully there are those willing to do it. The comments can get fairly ugly as all of the requestor's past wikilife is dragged over the coals. -Arch dude (talk) click on the link to see the process in action. -Arch dude (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @LXA43: It is a notification of and an invitation to, join the discussion resulting from a request for Admin. rights. If you click on the blue links, it will take you to the RFA page where the discussion is taking place. There is no 'burden' placed upon you to do anything as a result of the notification.

Spelling Mistake[edit]

Daayra hindi movie spelling mistake. You have written Daayraa

That seems to be about the article Daayraa. The image in that article is the DVD cover of the French language release, where it is written Daayra. On the other hand there are references to the other writing Daayraa (ex. Hindustan Times). I do not have any opinion about whether the page needs to be moved, but certainly there seems to be support for redirecting whichever writing loses out to the other.

103.7.82.230 I added the alternate spelling to the lede. This is better discussed on the talk page.

Frances Lupton[edit]

Ref number 10 is all wrong - it is an IBSN number from a published book. I cannot fix it on this device. Please help if able. Thankyou 175.32.82.245 (talk) 11:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed You added both ISBN NOs. (10 digit and 13 digit) also a comma within the markup. Eagleash (talk) 12:24, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You failed to read what you were told at #List of alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge above. Your steadfast refusal to correct your own mistakes is disruptive editing. Use preview to check your edits, and if they're wrong, don't publish them. If you've already published and notice your error, then "Undo". --David Biddulph (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Contents page and title[edit]

Hi all,

Would anyone know how to put a contents page below next to a paragraph instead of the top of the Wiki page?

Also would anyone know how to edit the title (top of the page)?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galvanlondon (talk • contribs) 14:13, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The contents is generated automatically. Why do you not want it at the top?

Changing the title is done by moving the article. If you tell us the article, then perhaps we can help. Dbfirs 14:20, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Galvanlondon: The table of contents automatically appears before the first section heading. We don't place a heading before the lead text. See more at WP:TOC. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:40, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The is the article is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Galvanlondon/sandbox — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galvanlondon (talk • contribs) 15:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Galvanlondon: Remove the heading at the top of the markup and place the infobox at the top not after the first piece of content. The TOC will then appear at the right place. Before you do anything about moving or submitting the page, you need to answer the points raised at your talk page in respect of your username and also read WP:COI and WP:PAID and make any necessary declarations. Please also read WP:NCORP and bear in mind that content deemed in any way to be promotional will be rejected.(Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 16:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Galvanlondon: The sandbox draft is also without references and if submitted for review will be rejected for that reason alone. See WP:REFB for a guide to adding references and WP:RS for what can be used as a reference. Eagleash (talk) 16:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Galvanlondon: Your username appears to be that of a company. This is not permitted because each user name must belong to a single individual. What is your connection with the company? Dbfirs 17:39, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Agnes Moorehead birth place[edit]

Hi, I just heard out of Anges Moorehead's own mouth that she was born in Cambridge, MA and grew up in Clinton, MA so why has all information on the Internet just state Clinton, MA? Now you may be asking me how did I find out this information? She stated it on a rerun of Password where she was a guest with Allen Ludden.

Thank you for listening to me and I hope you can rectify this error that everyone states she was born in Clinton, MA

Thank you, Pat Raia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:184:4780:28BD:F883:8D62:DA4B:B886 (talk) 18:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even the Encyclopaedia Britannica gets it wrong then? Wikipedia reports only what is written in WP:Reliable sources. Can we find a different source for the place of birth? Dbfirs 18:31, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbfirs: The IP seems to say that AM herself said she was born in Cambridge in a TV show. If true, I would say that is a reliable source. I am going to leave a note at Talk:Agnes Moorehead. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 14:16, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that show is archived somewhere, then yes, though it would be good to have a printed source. Dbfirs 15:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Inline audio[edit]

How can this transclusion of the above template be improved in such a way that the file list is displayed below the template (without adding extra spacing etc.)?--Hildeoc (talk) 19:45, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hildeoc: How about this? Domenico Scarlatti. I used the userbox template and gave it a title. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 00:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fitness First[edit]

The name fitness first was first coined by Tony Greaves in 1990, he was a fitness equipment engineer who in 1996 was maintaining fitness equipment at the Queens club in Bournmouth, he was approached by Mike Balfor while working in the gym and Mike said " Tony I would like to use your Fitness First name when I revamp the gym?". I gave him permission to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.193.83 (talk) 20:45, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to see Tony Greaves mentioned in the article Fitness First, you must find a WP:Reliable source which describes the anecdote which you mention above, and cite it when you add the material.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
