== Infobox issues ==

I am asking here as [[Template talk:Infobox chess biography]] has very little activity.

Can anyone tell me why the "FideID" parameter does not work for certain articles (see [[Laura Unuk]], [[Stavroula Tsolakidou]]) as it does for others (see [[Magnus Carlsen]] and most other articles which include the chess biography/player infobox)?

:{{Re|Hrodvarsson}} According to [[Template:Elo rating]], the automatic import only works for players rated 2400 and over. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 07:17, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
::{{Re|John of Reading}} I did not know that, it explains the infobox's inconsistency. Thanks for your help! [[User:Hrodvarsson|Hrodvarsson]] ([[User talk:Hrodvarsson|talk]]) 03:09, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello!

Can you please tell me how can I create a box on the right side of the page (for a bibliography page) to include a photo and a general description (nationality, profession, etc)?

Thank you <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Raboj Anca|Raboj Anca]] ([[User talk:Raboj Anca#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Raboj Anca|contribs]]) 10:44, 7 November 2017 (UTC)</small> 

: As the heading of this section implies, those boxes are called infoboxes. You'll find information at [[WP:Infoboxes]], [[Help:Infobox]], and [[Template:Infobox]]. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 10:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

== Encyclopedic text versus discussion text ==

Has anyone calculated the amount of encyclopedic text we have versus the amount of discussion text? I want to calculate the ratio of discussion that goes into making the article text for the English Wikipedia as a whole. This would include all archived discussions. This is for a planned Wikimania presentation. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 15:50, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
:Hello {{u|Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|Richard}}, I've searched and have not been able to find the exact statistics you're looking for.

== Change Loro on Pernigotti Page ==

Hi, the Logo inside the page https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pernigotti

it's not correct. The right logo is https://www.dropbox.com/s/7qwe7t5rum2b2il/logo-2-pernigotti.png?dl=0

How can i change it?

:Hello {{u|Fabzero2017}}, this is the English Wikipedia while your query refers to the Italian Wikipedia. Without commenting on the appropriateness of your image, I would suggest you take this issue up at the [[w:it:Discussione:Pernigotti|article's talk page]] on the Italian Wikipedia.

== Confused ==

This may be a simple stroll in the park for the European way of thinking but for we indigenous people, it is really complicated. I want to post some facts on wikipedia but do not grasp the process.. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/172.97.216.152|172.97.216.152]] ([[User talk:172.97.216.152#top|talk]]) 16:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)</small>

:You say you want to "post some facts"; are you planning to create a new article, or to add these facts to an existing article? Creating a new article is difficult, and not recommended for new users; I doubt that any new user finds it "a stroll in the park".

== Copyright tag for Open Parliament Licence ==

Hi, Does anybody happen to known the copyright tag for an upload images, which has copyright on this: [[http://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright-parliament/open-parliament-licence/]]. Its specifically for this: <nowiki>[[File:Edward_FitzRoy,_Commons_Speaker.png]]</nowiki>. I have put in an OGL licence but don't know if it is right Thanks.

:Hi {{u|Scope creep}}, in my opinion, the best person to speak to on this issue would be {{u|Nikkimaria}}. Thanks. <small>'''[[User talk:Lourdes|<span style="color:black;">Lourdes</span>]]'''</small> 05:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

::Cool. Thanks. [[User:Scope creep|scope_creep]] ([[User talk:Scope creep|talk]]) 13:36, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
:::OGL and OPL are similar but not identical - see [[:commons:Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2012/07#Open_Parliament_Licence]] for some previous discussion. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria|talk]]) 15:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

==[[Hampton, New Hampshire]]==
Please remove the black and white portrait drawing - it is NOT of Christopher Hussey, it is of John Greenleaf Whitter. Our mistake. Sorry [[Special:Contributions/203.132.68.1|203.132.68.1]] ([[User talk:203.132.68.1|talk]]) 22:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

:::: The IP (and its alter egos) has many irritating habits, one of which is to use numerous sections with the same title on this page.
