Losing part of a page when editing
I've been trying to edit the "Lake Superior Scottish Regiment" page, and when I hit preview or save, more than 1/2 the previous version of the page has disappeared.
I've paraphrased copy from other web sites (while also footnoting & citing the web pages), but the changes seem to disappear, as well as 1/2 the page???????????
Thanks!

Thanks. ~ AH1 (TCU) 01:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Country Flags not appearing
Hi, Does anyone know why certain country flags might not be appearing for some reason. They used to appear but today for some reason they are not. When i click on it, the flag appears in full on a seperate page but not in an article as in a small flag. It has happened on this page, but there are others http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Twenty20_World_Championship Look at the Kenya and Pakistan ones. If anyone knows, i'll tell the other pages Roadrunnerz45 04:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
a line
How do I enter a line into a page (it's for userspace, not a main article). To clarify, I mean one of those lines which appear beneath a section header produced when you do ==title==. Thanks, -- Matthew Edwards | talk | Contribs | ( Offline ) 05:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia logo
I was wondering if the image used in the top-left corner of English Wikipedia bothers anyone. The one at French Wikipedia, for example, has less anti-aliased text and a cleaner globe. ALTON .ıl 05:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Country Flags
Hi all. I am just wanting to know if there is a glitch with the country flags that are being used on the wiki sports pages (mainly football). I noticed that on the Stirling Albion F.C. page that the Scotland flag is not showing, all that is showing is text saying flag of scotland. also noticed its the same for flags on the FA Cup Final 2007 page. Could this bee looked into thanks Gorillamusic 09:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Creating lines starting with blanks
I need to create an example copied from a book . Numbers and stars have to be in the correct position on a line. Due to the above a lot of the lines start with a blank. How does one create those blanks. Indenting will not be exact enough Thanks Peter
The example is multiply x 12 taken from the actual book If we wish to multiply 413 by 12, it goes like this:
*First step: 0413 X 1 2
6 double the right-hand figure and carry it down (there is no neighbor)The star has to be above the 3 the 6 below the 3 and the 2 last lines start below double. There are 4 steps with similar spacing to complete the example. I originally tried inserting in a block and added line feeds on each line. Here I have just typed it in. What causes the spacing on the actual page, it is closer to my requirement and the &nbsc would fix it. --PeterDKnight 16:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Main articles: Fair use and Fair dealingCopyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the fair use doctrine, codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder or payment to same. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead gives four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis. Those factors are:
1. the purpose and character of your use 2. the nature of the copyrighted work 3. what amount and proportion of the whole work was taken, and 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.I would think in this case the small example copied would encourage people to buy the book. To delete my notes or not to delete ? What do you think ? Would the site Administrator be able to help ? --PeterDKnight 20:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for your help and advice. Re-wrote the article totally and got the indenting right. --PeterDKnight 14:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Admin abuse
What is the proper way to report Wikipedia admin abuse of power?
How do I start a fresh new article?
How do I do this as yet I can only work out how to edit/add to existing articles. Thank you.
I asked this same question months ago. I agree there needs to be a more obvious route. Why should we logically go to a "Help" page every time to start one. 216.95.55.112 05:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I am the SAVE Program Chief and wanted to post information about this program on Wikipedia. It is not a business. It is a federal government program that provides immigration status verification. I work for the Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship & Immigration Services. I am the owner of this information, but a bot thinks the information is copywrited.

Company pages like Yahoo & Google
Hi,
how does one get to create a page like yahoo and google company information pages in Wikipedia?
What is the bloody point?
Ok, why must wikipedia write pages such as Mud or Wallpaper? who on earth bothers to look at these boring pages? They just seem pointless. And its kinda sad to actually write an essay on Mud isnt it?
Urgent! something seems to be destroying all the chess diagrams
It seems something is destroying all the chess diagrams, and I cannot find what. You can see an example of such a diagram in the chess article for example, looking at the diagram on the right with the caption "The position of the pieces at the start of a game of chess".
Normally such diagrams are generated using Template:Chess diagram but it does not work anymore. I assumed some evil force had deleted one
