You Tube
I have noticed a number of pages where a You Tube address showing a video has been used as a link to verify something on that page. For instance, some Football Suppoters Groups have used videos of them at stadiums to verify that their particular Fan Group exists. Surely to verify something a reliable source is not a video on You Tube? Thank you Tangerines 00:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's not a verification at all. I can drum up a bunch of friends to chant and sing about purple oranges, but that doesn't verify they exist. - Mgm| (talk) 22:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Please Help with Log In Problems That Just Started
As I type my question to my problem, Wikipedia again has me logged out even though I just signed in. I have not had this problem until about a week ago. When I try to log in it shows me logged in until I go to another Wikipedia page. I click on an article I want to help edit and I am suddenly not signed in. I go to sign in and click the link that takes me back to the article I was previously in, only to find out that once I get back to that page it has me again logged out. When I try to edit an article anyway, only my IP gets logged and I am viewed as a non-registered user. Because of this now I have gotten blamed for several other people's vandelising of articles that I have never visited nor tried to edit. I would appreciate Wikipedia helping me find out why I am no longer able to stay logged in on the system. Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. 67.142.130.27 01:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Purpleparrot (Purpleparrot is my Wikipedia name)
You are using Hughes Net according to whois. It is a problem with them, but if you use the (slightly slower) secure server, you can log in and edit normally. Prodego talk 03:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. I will try the secure server. :) Purpleparrot
monobook.js
I have been trying desperately to add some features to my wikipedian experence by editing my monobook.js file. The code I am currently trying to load on the page is:
importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/morebits.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklefluff.js'); importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI menu'); importStylesheet('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI menu/css'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklewarn.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklearv.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklespeedy.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklediff.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkleprotect.js'); importScript('User:Lupin/recent2.js');
Whatever I do doesn't seem to work however. What could I posibly be doing wrong? Redian(Talk) 02:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Thank you for your help. I will try the secure server and see if I can once again edit and write articles. :)
Contacting former Missionaries
Dear Friends:
I am wondering who and how to contact someone who can give me information about missionaries from Sweden who served in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) under Bishop Strandvik during 1963-1965.
I taught secondary school there during that time at the Chegato Mission Station.
Now I am retired as a bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and I would like to contact my friends from that time who are still living.
Thank you very much for whatever help you can give me.

- If you accidentally inserted this template, simply remove it. It's only protected when an administrator actually applies the protection. The template just exists to inform other users of this status. - Mgm| (talk) 22:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Request one's account for closure?
I'd like to request that someone's account closes. What's the page for this? --Imdanumber1 (talk contribs) 13:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
(←) What action I would recommend really depends on the circumstances of the case, which I cannot really determine from your comments. If the user is conversing with you and you have a dispute, you may wish to have a look at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes and working through one or some of the processes there. If you believe that the user has clearly and consistently violated policy in a manner which would require admin attention, go to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Accounts are only blocked in line with the Wikipedia:Blocking policy, which you might also find helpful to read, as people are not blocked for 'being annoying' unless thay have clearly and repeatedly violated policy. Please remember to be civil with no personal attacks at all times or you may find people reluctant to help you or you may be blocked yourself. I hope that helps, mattbr 14:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I'm the one he's complaining about. --NE2 09:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

hw can i put myself on wikipedia
- Please don't. Experience has shown us that while people know a lot about themselves, they're not the right people to create the article about themselves. Wait until someone else does it and go to the article's discussion page to suggest additions or changes. - Mgm| (talk) 22:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Adding a page
Can I add a pag about a Nintendo fan site? MattC13 16:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Depending on its content, a fansite may be a useful external link in a Nintendo related article, but unless it's the biggest of its kind or repeatedly mentioned in the press, I would recommend against creating an article about it. - Mgm| (talk) 22:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Lower case letters in first letter
