Problem reading/editing the page

There is a picture (drawing) in the middle of the first paragraph of this information article (at least on my browser}, and so the first thing I see when I read the article is the middle of a sentence (which starts with the hyperlnked words "reliable source"). I clicked "Edit source" to see if I could try to fix that, but all I see when I do that is some codes. I'm not sure why. Could someone try to fix the fact that an image is (or seems to be) in the middle of a sentence on this Wikipedia Help article? Thank you. GreyGoose (talk) 12:48, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GreyGoose: Thank you for pointing this out! I think it occurred because of how the browser tried to order the picture, the 'shortcuts' box and the text on a narrow screen. I've rearranged these elements so that hopefully they arrange in a more sensible order, with the image first, then all the text together. You're correct that the source code for this page is far more confusing than most, since it transcludes most of its contents. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 01:06, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks! It looks fine now. Thanks for the quick response. GreyGoose (talk) 03:26, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

wrong picture

The picture on Robert Graf's profile is not him.

The picture is actually Robert Hardy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.75.238 (talk) 09:02, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Need to add: South Mountain Park, Phoenix, Arizona 16,000 acres.

What is a reliable source? Is it a leftist source? Because your thought police seems to censor any non leftist/factual source. 47.147.16.228 (talk) 18:28, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

verifiable is all well and good

But your highhanded "editors" don't take the time to check content before deleting. How does speedy deletion without checking for verifiability serving the internet community. Come on wikipedia, do better for your customers or did you not know that your volunteer authors are customers?. MissParker (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance you could add a protection on the page until the transfer is completed if it even happens at all? Just continued editing from unknown ip’s RossButsy (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

Could not proceed with a correction on mobile - transclusion activated and preventing edition:

I just wanted to say that near the start it says "an inline citation", is it supposed to say "online"? TheMCMultitasker (talk) 14:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
