Heads up

Just don't want you to miss this proposal. Cheers, Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 23:50, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Ads misfiring?

Hiya. I've traditionally used {{Wikipedia ad exists|2|collapsed=no}} to give your add for Edit Summaries.

Now, however, it seems to produce a random ad:

Wikipedia ad for Help:Edit summary
Wikipedia adsfile info – #2

I don't understand how these things work. Could you shed any light? Thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 10:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) This should be working again now. I have asked Mabdul to fix the edits they made, as they were causing this brokenness; in the meantime I have reverted them. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:43, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing my horrendous typo! What is it with me and my keyboard today? Hekerui (talk) 00:35, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Please avoid watermarked pictures

File:RoseMcGowan2011.jpg

Well I wouldn't know how to remove that watermark but I know that you can do it using external software, perhaps you could help me or know other user that could do it??? I would really appreciate it RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

There are tools called "inpainting" that can be used to remove watermarks. →AzaToth 22:28, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes I've heard about inpainting before, but the thing is I don't know how to use it. Don't you know anyone that could help me?? in commons perhaps??--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps maybe even cropping the image???--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:32, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
If the file gets used, it's possible someone else will come around and do it. It's not an emergecy, I just tagged it and notify you (sometimes the uploader might want and is able to do it) →AzaToth 22:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Oh then I guess there won't be a problem if i upload it to the Rose McGowan article then?--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 23:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem. It was only a friendly notification. nothing that makes it unusable (the watermark is rather small so it doesn't disrupt the image too much) →AzaToth 23:03, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

AFD notices again

I noticed (1 and 2) that these still weren't working for 2nd nominations. I've copied exactly the same markup parameters that are in the standard {{AfD-notice}}, and hoping it works. If not, I don't know what to do. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 01:11, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
