? Infiniti fx35?[edit]

How do I get information on the infiniti fx35 suv? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.99.147 (talk) 02:09, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A simple way of getting information would be by reading this. If you want more, you can also perform a Google search by typing "Infinity FX35" on a Google search box and clicking enter. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:14, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not appear in public access[edit]

Help solve the problem. She posted an article on March 6, about a significant person, but she has not yet appeared in the public domain. However, there are no edits from other editors, or notifications. I just do not understand what to do. Here is this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maria_Ivanova Thank you! Anzela Mikoyan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:25, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anzela Mikoyan: The page currently exists as a draft; it is not a published article. If you consider that it is ready for mainspace (publication) you can place {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page, although this should ideally be done by the editor who created the page. Please note, the review process is currently backlogged and it may take several weeks. Furthermore, articles in draftspace are not indexed by search engines and new articles are not either, until they have been reviewed or for 90 days, whichever is the shorter period. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 10:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kwanzaa[edit]

I was reading your Kwanzaa page and it said the corn was decoration. Actually it represents the children in that household. The colors represent : red- the bloodshed in the motherland of Africa , the green represents the land. Black the people . Is one description but the official website states:The colors of Kwanzaa are black, red and green; black for the people, red for their struggle, and green for the future and hope that comes from their struggle.

XMPP logo[edit]

The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) has updated the logo some months ago (a little update from original). I have created the new SVG file for replace: commons:File:XMPP_logo.svg. How I can do update the logo? Thanks in advance. Lbocquet (talk) 14:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Lbocquet: I have updated the image for you. In case next time, when you want replace an image with updated version just search for the image code in the editing window and change it with the new name. –Ammarpad (talk) 15:24, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ammarpad You have not understand, I have the new file on my computer... to update the logo on commons.wikipedia.org. Lbocquet (talk) 10:33, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Lbocquet. If you go to the Commons page you linked to above, there is a link in the "File History" section that says "Upload a new version of this file". --ColinFine (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ColinFine but I have "You cannot overwrite this file." :/ Lbocquet (talk) 12:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Lbocquet: Your account must be at least four days old at Commons to get "Upload a new version of this file" when you are not the original uploader. If you link to an online version of the image then somebody else can do it. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:36, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone threating violance and change khaga History Article[edit]

Sir please correct this correction some Below Cast People Changed Our History — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pradeep Suryavanshi (talk • contribs) 16:45, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody's making any threats Pradeep Suryavanshi. Those of us who have removed the History section from the article on Khaga have done so because it cites no sources for the information, and therefore fails our requirements on verifiability. Please do not restore the section again without appropriate references. The talk page of the article is available for you to make your points, but please do so politely: Noyster (talk), 18:34, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How Can I upload a profile and write a biography[edit]

Good day, Could you please send to me a link which is showing me How to upload a photo and Write biography? I'm stuck on wikimedia please we need your help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gadanetwork (talk • contribs) 17:07, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can write a biography of someone else, with references, but you should not write an autobiography, that is, a biography of yourself.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Autobiography is a helpful warning for this matter.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:47, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, To upload a photo on Wikipedia, you can refer to this link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Uploading_images Solène Huille (talk) 05:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page Curation[edit]

I just added "importScript('User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js'); // Linkback: User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js" to my common.js file but the toolbar is not appearing. Is that normal? I heard that even non-NPRs could have the page curation tool. L293D (☎ • ✎) 18:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Page Curation says:

"Page curation provides two main features:

the New Pages Feed, a dynamic list of new pages for review by community patrollers.
the Curation Toolbar, an optional panel on articles that enables editors to review them more effectively."

The only thing the script does is add a link saying "Page Curation" to the left of "Preferences" at top of any page. It's a normal piped link to Special:NewPagesFeed and does not add the Curation Toolbar which is only available to new page reviewers and administrators. It may cause confusion that the term "Page Curation" is sometimes used only about the Curation Toolbar and its functions, and not about the New Pages Feed everybody can see at Special:NewPagesFeed (new page reviewers and admins see some extra things there). PrimeHunter (talk) 20:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So basically, I can't add tags to new articles or do anything else with the page curation toolbar until I have the right. L293D (☎ • ✎) 20:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

L293D, yes that's right. More information can be found at Wikipedia:PageCuration script#Troubleshooting. You can of course go ahead and apply for the new page reviewer right; we need as much assistance as we can get from good editors. Lourdes 11:48, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EBSCO Information Services[edit]

Do we Wikipedians have access to EBSCO Information Services? There is an eBook there I would like to access.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:EBSCO. It gives information about obtaining free access to EBSCO via the Wikipedia Library. If you decide to apply, note the "Signups have moved!" box at the top of the page; it contains a link to the new application process. Eddie Blick (talk) 19:25, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dthomsen8, I have access. If you want some assistance, I can provide. Lourdes 11:49, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about Greenbrier High School (Arkansas) I suggest taking it up on the talk page: Talk:Greenbrier High School (Arkansas). HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:05, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
