I  have  accidently  removed  an  entire  picture  at the  top of this  page -   I  was trying  to  make  it  smaller  -   can  you  fix it up please?  Sorry [[Special:Contributions/203.132.68.1|203.132.68.1]] ([[User talk:203.132.68.1|talk]]) 00:32, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

== Not seeing the AfC helper toolbar [resolved]==

As instructed here [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Helper_script]], I enabled the script and purged my cache. I know that it was indeed "working". When I viewed any userpage, I was getting the message to the effect of "error, the user is not listed in the Articles for Creation participants". That was before I was added to the list here: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants]]. 
I have now been added to the list and stopped getting the error message; however, I'm not seeing the toolbar that I was supposed to see. I wonder if you may have some advice for me. I'm using Google Chrome. --[[User:K.e.coffman|K.e.coffman]] ([[User talk:K.e.coffman|talk]]) 02:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|K.e.coffman}}, by "not seeing the toolbar", are you saying that after you click on <code>More ▼</code> in the toolbar on an AFC-applicable page, you're not able to see the <code>Review (AFCH)</code> link? Or are you saying that nothing happens after clicking on the <code>Review (AFCH)</code> link? [[User talk:❤️|<span style="color: black">Lourdes</span>]] 09:27, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

== Deletion of User Page ==

I have requested my user page to be deleted, but not sure how look it would take? ~~  [[User:DiasporaCryptid|DiasporaCryptid]] ([[User talk:DiasporaCryptid#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DiasporaCryptid|contribs]]) 03:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: I see that you've twice added (but soon after removed) the {{tl|db-user}} tag. I would suggest that you leave the tag visible, as that puts the page into the relevant categories for speedy deletion requests. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 03:57, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

== Unable to upload image ==

It will not allow me to upload a photo to a Wikipedia to which we own the rights.  

What do I need to do to make this change?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rnewman ECC|Rnewman ECC]] ([[User talk:Rnewman ECC#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rnewman ECC|contribs]]) 12:05, 12 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Hello, {{U|Rnewman ECC}}. It's hard to know precisely how  to advise you when you haven't explained what you mean by "it will not allow me"; but I'm guessing that you are a partner or employee of [[Essex Court Chambers]], and are trying to upload a picture related to that. What is probably the critical point is that (with certain exceptions which are unlikely to be relevant here) Wikipedia requires that all its content be licensed in such a way that anybody may reuse it in any way for any purpose (commercial or not), under a licence such as [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]]. Your owning the rights is not enough: you have to explicitly release the image under such a licence. If you personally own the rights to the image, you can license it on the fly as you upload it; otherwise you need to follow the procedure in [[WP:Donating copyright materials|Donating copyright materials]]. 
:On another subject (and again assuming you are in some way part of Essex Court Chambers), please be aware that you are strongly discouraged from directly editing an article on a subject with which you are connected; and if you are in any way paid for doing so, you ''must'' declare this: please see [[WP:COI|COI]] and [[WP:PAID|PAID]]. I also note (though I realise it is not you that wrote the article) that it lacks the ''independent'' [[WP:reliable sources|reliable sources]] which are an essential for any Wikipedia article. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 14:28, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

@ColinFine, many thanks for your response.  You are correct, I did not write the article but find it strange that no image has been uploaded as I know in many other articles an image has been uploaded.  Is there a way to tell who wrote the article, it is very much out of date.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rnewman ECC|Rnewman ECC]] ([[User talk:Rnewman ECC#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rnewman ECC|contribs]]) 14:50, 12 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{U|Rnewman ECC}}, If you check the "view history" tab on the article-page you will see who created it in 2011 an who has edited it since then. Such info ''can'' be helpful, but I don't think it is very helpful in this case. [[User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|Gråbergs Gråa Sång]] ([[User talk:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|talk]]) 15:14, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

== How to find the best page about climate change or global warming in a country or region? ==

I am trying to improve [[climate change in Turkey]]. Is there a way I can find the best "climate change in xxxx" or "global warming in xxxx" article to use as an example please? I asked on the talk page of [[global warming]] but no answer as yet.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chidgk1|contribs]]) 13:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:{{u|Chidgk1}} Welcome to Teahouse.  Check out [[Climate change in Turkey]] and see if this is what you are looking for. By the way, if you intend to add/change the content, please support the claimed with [[WP:IS|independent]], [[WP:RS|reliable]] source by providing inline citations. Thank you.

::{{u|CASSIOPEIA}} So do you mean the article I am improving is already the best regional climate change article? I have already added lots backed up with reliable sources and nominated it as a "good article" (no reviewers yet) but I suspect it could still be improved a lot.
[[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 14:17, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

::: {{u|Chidgk1}} Sorry I misread your question.

:::: {{u|CASSIOPEIA}} Thanks for replying so promptly but on the search link you mention I cannot see how to search for articles which are at least "good" quality.
:Were there any good articles that fit the criteria, I would expect them to be listed at [[Wikipedia:Good_articles/Natural_sciences#Meteorology]].  Similarly, [[Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Meteorology]].  Try this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=intitle%3A%22climate+change+in%22 search].

== youtube videos ==

Why can't wikipedia work with youtube to let youtube host its videos and wikipedia use youtube videos for relevant articles?
[[User:Svrangerchrista|Svrangerchrista]] ([[User talk:Svrangerchrista|talk]]) 14:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
:Hello, {{U|Svrangerchrista}}. You'll probably get a better answer at [[WT:WikiProject YouTube]]. But for my 2p worth: YouTube is a commercial site. It is important to Wikipedia (and the WikiMedia Foundation) not to align itself too closely with any commercial site. Even if the Foundation were careful to conclude the deal in a way which ensured that YouTube's commercial interests had no influence on Wikipedia (if that were possible) there would still be a risk that people would think its independence was compromised. Also see [[WP:YOUTUBE]] and [[WP:NOTYOUTUBE]]. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 14:34, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

==  Fergie /Josh Duhamel ==

On Fergie’s page it says Josh Duhamel and Fergie are separated. On Josh Duhamel’s page it says they are divorced legally only one is accurate  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/68.58.124.115|68.58.124.115]] ([[User talk:68.58.124.115#top|talk]]) 19:02, 12 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Hello, IP user. Actually, it didn't say they are divorced: it only said they "announced they were divorcing". But even that claim was not referenced, and is not supported by the sources cited in the next sentence (they say only that they had "split"). So I have removed the sentence.
