==2018 SEC football standings template==
Can you Move the 2018 SEC football standings template from the talk page to the draft page please. I would except it. [[Special:Contributions/68.102.39.189|68.102.39.189]] ([[User talk:68.102.39.189|talk]]) 01:09, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
:Hello, IP editor. I see that [[Template talk:2018 SEC football standings]] was deleted earlier today, as it was a talk page dependent on a nonexistent page, so I have asked the admin who processed this deletion to restore the contents as a draft. –[[User:FlyingAce|FlyingAce]]<sup>[[User talk:FlyingAce|✈hello]]</sup> 01:20, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

==[[Stephen Bachiler]]==
Please help me place the new file of coat-of-arms at top of page, if that is appropriate. Also, should we remove notice about  not enough citations?  I have added many more. Thanks [[Special:Contributions/203.132.68.1|203.132.68.1]] ([[User talk:203.132.68.1|talk]]) 01:51, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

==Wikitext search==
Is it possible to search the original Wikitext of articles?  I'm wanting to find articles in the living people category which link to specific articles, such as [[United Kingdom general election, 1950]], but in many cases the links are piped, so a search for incategory:"Living people" "United Kingdom general election, 1950" is not finding them.  I could try and check every link coming in to the article in question, but there are more than 1,000 for this article alone, so I'm hoping for an automated method and being able to search the original Wikitext would solve this. [[User:Warofdreams|Warofdreams]] ''[[User talk:Warofdreams|talk]]'' 02:46, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
:See [[Help:Searching]] and [[:mw:Help:CirrusSearch]] for options. There is <code>insource:</code>  but you can also use <code>linksto:</code>. {{search link|incategory:"Living people" linksto:"United Kingdom general election, 1950"}}.

==Collapsed text not displaying==
I've been working on formatting something on a different wiki, and when I collapse a specific text it shows up as {{{1}}}, and I cannot figure out why. I have checked for extra brackets and could not find any. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:18f:800:1dd9:d16c:c408:3c5d:4304|2601:18f:800:1dd9:d16c:c408:3c5d:4304]] ([[User talk:2601:18f:800:1dd9:d16c:c408:3c5d:4304#top|talk]]) 03:32, 14 November 2017‎ (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Xsign -->
:You haven't given much detail here, but one thing to check is whether the collapsed text contains an equals sign anywhere, for example, hidden inside a URL. The workaround is to stick <code>1=</code> in front of the text: <code><nowiki>{{My collapse template|Some text with an = sign}}</nowiki></code> won't work, but <code><nowiki>{{My collapse template|1=Some text with an = sign}}</nowiki></code> should be OK. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 08:23, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

== TV Show Character Articles ==

At what point does a character from a TV show merit their own Wikipedia page? What if said show is ongoing?

:As with any other subject, {{U|Justus et peccator}}, the criterion to decide whether there should be an article on the subject is nothing directly do to with what the subject does, or is, or is known as, but wholly to do with whether there is enough independent reliably published material on the subject to base an article on. If somebody has written an extended article specifically about the character in a reputable newspaper or magazine; or if several in-depth articles about the show contain more than just a sentence or two about the character, that might do it.

Feel free to disregard any messages that are not relevant to yourself. In cases such as this, account creation is encouraged to avoid erroneous messages, which I see you have now done.

== English or British ==

Hello,

On the [[Dua Lipa]] article, user SnapSnap keeps reverting my edits: she is a British singer, not an English one (see [[British nationality law]]). Can someone other than me replace English by British in the catch phrase? Thanks

[[User:WhatsUpWorld|WhatsUpWorld]] ([[User talk:WhatsUpWorld|talk]]) 21:58, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
:This is a long-term thorny issue (with many other artists). Don't get into an edit-war over it. As I understand it, unless she has stated at some point that she considers herself English rather than British, we should go with British as nationality.

== Sutcliffe Jugend  ==

Hi,
I play in a band called Sutcliffe Jugend.
In the pictures on your website is a picture of the cassette called White Power and a Nazi symbol.
We had nothing to do with that cassette, a track was put on without our permission, back in 1982. This does not represent the band or our political feelings, plus the picture of ripper victims.
This is a gross misrepresentation of the band. 
We have children and do not want them to see this.
We play noise/industrial music.
We tackle extreme topics, but do not glorify in any way.. we do the opposite if you listen to the words.

Please amend this misrepresentation.

Kind Regards

:Hello, Paul. We have over five million articles: which are you referring to? There is no image in the article [[Sutcliffe Jügend]] (and it hasn't been edited for over a year).  
:[[File:Symbol move vote.svg|20px]] Are you by any chance referring to a photo or text shown to the right of a Google search? Google's [[Knowledge Graph]] uses a wide variety of sources. There may be a text paragraph ending with "Wikipedia" to indicate that particular text was copied from Wikipedia. An image and other text before or after the Wikipedia excerpt may be from sources completely unrelated to Wikipedia. We have no control over how Google presents our information, but Google's Knowledge Graph has a "Feedback" link where anyone can mark a field as wrong.

::A problem with Google Image search and their Knowledge Graph, and it is notoriously hard to get Google to change them, no one knows who to contact. They need to have an ombudsman.

== Help with possibly advanced text editing ==

Hi, I would like the place words on top of each other. Take this piece of text:

17 86 CO 80 37 32 56
Read Words KONA 3 6 Read Letters S D

Is it possible to place 17 atop Read, 86 above KONA, CO above 3, 80 above 6, 37 above Read Letters, 32 above S and 56 above D. 
I could put them in a table, so they are in tabular format, but is there another way to format them.

thanks.

:Hello, {{U|Scope creep}}. You ''might'' be able to do something with [[tab character|tabs]], but really, that is what tables are designed for.

{{ping|Scope creep}} There's three ways you can do it. The first two are tables (see:[[Help:Table]]), The third is called [[WP:Latex|LaTex]]. The code for each is in the collapsed text.
