== New article ==

Could someone please move "[[User:Hardy1956/sandbox]]" to the main Wikipedia server? It has been under comment status for over six weeks and is probably ready to move on.

Thanks
[[User:Hardy1956|Hardy1956]] ([[User talk:Hardy1956|talk]])

== Skip to bottom ==

I noticed a handy 'Skip to bottom' link (top right) on this page. I couldn't find a template or whatever in the page source. Is there some way to get one of those handy links for my talk page? ~Eric F [[Special:Contributions/74.60.29.141|74.60.29.141]] ([[User talk:74.60.29.141|talk]]) 00:11, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

== Two Coordinates, One Page ==

The page for [[Namoratunga]], an archaeoastronomical site, needs two sets of coordinates because, there are two locations at the site. I have the added both locations but doing so causes them to stack one on top of the other at the top of the page. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

* The asterisk puts the second one on a new line. I removed the asterisk, is that what you want? [[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 05:56, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
**That's not what they were referring to. They're talking about the cords at the top right-hand corner of the page. [[User:Dismas|Dismas]]|[[User talk:Dismas|(talk)]] 07:06, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
*Unfortunately, there's no way to display more than one set of coordinates in the title position. The best that can be done in a case like yours, Mhotep, is to make both sets of coordinates display inline, with neither displaying in the title position. I've edited the article to show one way of doing this. (If you want to link to maps displaying both locations simultaneously, add a {{tl|GeoGroup}} template below the reference section.) [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 09:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Deor...I knew it would take something beyond the conventional way of displaying coordinates to make it presentable. Thanks also LittleBen and Dismas for your input. I will add the Geogroup template as Deor suggested as well.

==WP links prohibited?==
Do some sites prohibit links from WP or something? Example: I was attempting to link to N Y Time's "TimesMachine" using their 'permalink' - it works fine from anyplace I've tried except WP (bookmarks, email links, etc.). I can't seem to find 'Help' for <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, but suspect that is what I'm looking for. Anyway, is there some way to format a functional link that looks like #1?
#[http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/| TimesMachine browser]
#This link doesn't work: http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/ (ctrl-click)">[http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/|<nowiki><code>http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/</code></nowiki>]
#This <nowiki>"</code>"</nowiki> works: <code>http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/</code>
#Copy/paste works fine: <nowiki>http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/</nowiki>

== Dracorex page. ==

Please guys don't mix up fables with science, the page about "[[Dracorex]]" it's an offence to wikipedia. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/87.5.162.50|87.5.162.50]] ([[User talk:87.5.162.50|talk]]) 08:36, 7 November 2012 (UTC) 
:The article appears sufficiently well sourced to meet [[WP:N|notability]] criteria, and is clear that there is controversy over the subject, with some experts viewing the sole specimen as a misidentification of a juvenile ''[[Pachycephalosaurus]]''.

== [[Template:Did you know nominations/Apollo 11 lunar sample display, Apollo 17 lunar sample display]] ==

I have 2 PCs at home and can ONLY see the remark of [[User talk:Vejvančický]] of the 3 articles he Reviewed and his remark of ''The articles are new, long enough, neutral, well referenced and interesting. I didn't notice any copyright infringement. The hook is a bit longer (it lists more than 30 articles).'' There has since been 2 additional comments: one by 62.25.109.197 and another 03:20, 7 November 2012‎ Berean Hunter. These I can ONLY see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ADid_you_know_nominations%2FApollo_11_lunar_sample_display%2C_Apollo_17_lunar_sample_display&diff=521771983&oldid=521726928 Template:Did you know nominations/Apollo 11 lunar sample display, Apollo 17 lunar sample display: Difference between revisions]. Why? Happens on BOTH my PCS that these remarks do NOT show up when I look at [[Template:Did you know nominations/Apollo 11 lunar sample display, Apollo 17 lunar sample display]]. Do you see the comments of 62.25.109.197 and Berean Hunter in [[Template:Did you know nominations/Apollo 11 lunar sample display, Apollo 17 lunar sample display]]? --[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] [[User talk:Doug Coldwell|talk]] 11:21, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

:No. I can see the problem too. Looking at where the page breaks off, it almost looks as though something in [[User:Vejvančický]]'s signature is causing a rendering problem. However, that user has been signing other contributions recently without problem and doesn't appear to have altered their signature. I'll keep looking, but you're right; something is borked with that page. - [[User:Karenjc|Ka]][[User_talk:Karenjc|renjc]] 11:49, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
::The signature contains a vertical bar. As it says at [[Special:Preferences|My preferences]], "Also, if you are going to use a displayed pipe ("|") character (i.e. not part of a piped link), please use &#124; for the pipe character; it can otherwise cause templates to fail.". -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 11:52, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
::I've left a message at [[User talk:Vejvančický]]. All the text on a DYK nomination page is passed as a parameter into the template {{tl|DYKsubpage}}, so a stray vertical bar will cause the text to be truncated. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 11:59, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

:::Gah! Found it but John had got there first. Still, that's my something new learned for today. Nice catch, John. - [[User:Karenjc|Ka]][[User_talk:Karenjc|renjc]] 12:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

== Submission ==
[[Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jan Vogler]]

Hi -
I recently submitted (I think) a revised edit for an article on Jan Vogler. The first and second submissions were rejected because of lack of supporting reference material. I believe I have now completed everything but I submitted the last edit on October 16 and haven't heard anything yet. Is there a way for me to check to see if the article was submitted and its status in the queue.
Thanks, — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:MoJoC|MoJoC]] ([[User talk:MoJoC|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MoJoC|contribs]]) 16:05, 7 November 2012 (UTC) 
:I don't know the answer to your question. But a sentence like "Jan Vogler’s distinguished career has featured him with renowned conductors ..." reduces its chance of being accepted. If you delete "distinguished" and "renowned", it will look more like an ecyclopedia article, and less like an advertisement. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 17:56, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I have edited it again - removing adjectives.

Hello,

on my user page, how to reduce the height of the field image? There is a large white space which should be removed. Regards.--[[User:Tomcat7|Tomcat]] '''''([[User talk:Tomcat7|7]])''''' 16:05, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

:Your user page does not use standard formatting. I don't think it is usual to use <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags in a Wikipedia page at all. But yours has five <nowiki><div></nowiki> tages and nine <nowiki></div></nowiki> tags. I, at least, can't figure out how you expect it to work.

:''You'' shouldn't. Please read [[WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY]] and [[WP:COI]] to understand why you are strongly discouraged from writing about yourself on Wikipedia. If you are truly [[WP:N|notable]] as a martial artist (i.e. if you satisfy the criteria at [[WP:ATHLETE]]) then someone will eventually write about you here. Or you could assemble the material for an article, along with the essential reference sources we require, and post it at [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]]. - [[User:Karenjc|Ka]][[User_talk:Karenjc|renjc]] 18:05, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

:And don't forget to check the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and the [[WP:PERSON|notability criteria for people]].

My suggestion is to address their concerns by citing the article with [[WP:RS|reliable, published secondary sources]] before removing the tag. If another user reverts the removal afterwards, then a new discussion occur on the talk page.
