I have problem in editing my notes section. When I click the "edit" button I can not find all the texts I put in between "ref tags" and then when I click the "save page" button they all appear to be there. I mean I manage to see them however with repetation and gaps. I would appreciate if you could help me to solve this problem. Thank you in advance..

Hello, Mach22591, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Purple Violet (Aerobatic Aircraft), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hadn't - I don't usually watch archived pages; archives aren't supposed to be edited. In such cases it's much better to add a new section to the main AfC help desk.
In reply to your questions: Offline sources are perfectly acceptable as long as you provide sufficient bibliographical information to allow us to easily identify the source. For a newspaper that would probably be the name of the paper, the exact publication date, and the page number.
I'm not all that impressed by the Turkish President's website. Firstly, it's his own office reporting on an official act of the president, so it should probably be considered a primary source. Secondly, it's rather vague and speaks of Öztürk in generalities only - for example, unless I misread Google's translation of the page (which is easily possible), it says Öztürk put on the "Best Solo Display" - but it doesn't say when or where he did so. News sources such as Hürriyet are probably better. Huon (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To link, just put [[:File:Acromach Pitts S2S aircraft.jpg]] on the page. To display the picture, put [[File:Acromach Pitts S2S aircraft.jpg|thumb]] on the page. This displays as on the side of the page. To put a caption, use this [[File:Acromach Pitts S2S aircraft.jpg|thumb|YOUR CAPTION GOES HERE]] :) gwickwiretalkedits01:53, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you gwickwire, but I Didn't understand what you mean by "page". If you can read my article, I've divided into sections. When I press the "edit" button on one of these sections, "insert picture" option appears and when I use that option, on the edit window it appears "gallery" - File:Example.jpg|Caption1. You mean, I should delete "file: ..." and "gallery" and write directly [[File:Acromach Pitts S2S aircraft.jpg|thumb]] ? Mach22591 (talk) 15:39, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that should work. I don't quite know where that "insert picture" option comes from, but you can ignore it and just add the image manually. Huon (talk) 15:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Huon, nice to know you are always there :) When I click edit, edit tools show up and among them there is an "advanced" option. Under that thre is "insert" and right behind the insert, there are picture - table etc. buttons. Actually I've tried to add the picture under my references sections using this "insert - picture" button. However I don't see any pictures at all on my article page. Could you please check it for me. Is it possible that the picture is already added there but I still don't see it? Mach22591 (talk) 18:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the <gallery></gallery> tags were the problem. I removed them and moved the image to the relevant section. Huon (talk) 19:04, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I guess so.. I didin't understand what is the function of that "insert" option tough.
Eveything is in its appropriate place now. Thank you :)Mach22591 (talk) 09:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Ali İsmet Öztürk, Professional Display Pilot, Turkey, 2012.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Ali İsmet Öztürk, Professional Display Pilot, Turkey, 2012.jpg, which you've sourced to Ali İsmet Öztürks' Facebook Account. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.
