I noticed today that some of the math notation displays on a regular browser, but does not appear on the iPhone using Safari browser.
It seems like the ones with the ":" tag are not displaying.
Or perhaps it is the lines starting with a "<math>" tag?
Particularly, I am looking at the 4-gradient page.
Can anyone else verify this?
Is the problem Wikipedia, or the Safari browser, or iPhone Safari, or just my phone?
Reference help requested. Hello, I was editing a page, Anthony Barber (basketball) and I received a message that I had made a reference error. I deleted a reference that was referring to something that was no longer needed in the article, but it showed up as an error in the references section. If I could get some help to get rid of the error message, that would be great. Because the info from the reference is no longer needed in the article. Thanks, -- Miamiheat631 Talk 01:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Reference help requested. I still can't figure out what I did wrong. I clicked "Fix" but couldn't see anything highlighted. When I saved, the reference error was still there.

Thanks eagleash
Ref 7 and 8 are from the same citation resource (UK Daily Mail, but different articles) - I feel they should be formatted the same way please help Srbernadette ( talk) 04:45, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Mistake - Age Of Death Edit On Wikipedia when a person dies this displays in their info box Died 1st January 2000 (aged 12) (change date/age) I've recently noticed a mistake in one so I went to change I was really confused by your coding, there must be easier ways or ones that don't cause mistake Like: 1.Just Write it like I did on 2nd line of this article or 2. Get Wikipedia to calculate the age byear- dyear and the bmonth-dmonth if =>1 -1 from age. (Or similar)

I think you might want to ask this question on the wikipedia: help desk instead of here. Margalob (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

{{Death date and age|2016|8|29|1920|2|4|df=y}}
renders as 29 August 2016 (aged 96); the detail of the parameters is at {{
Death date and age}}. --

12:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)birth_date = {{Birth date|1920|2|4|df=y}}
and death_date = {{Death date and age|2016|8|29|1916|2|4|df=y}}
in {{
Infobox person}}. That's an inconsistency which could have been avoided if the template was recoded to get the death date in a separate parameter and reuse the given birth date parameter to compute the age. It wouldn't avoid an error if one of the dates was wrong but it would make internally consistent claims. There are however other complications with that method.

I'd like to request a change to the logo used, as it is an extremely outdated logo, which can be seen when comparing it to our website [1]. I looked into trying to change it myself but was unable to, as the system is quite complicated. Can anyone help us to edit this, as the logo is also reflected in Google searches for our company and displays a badly outdated logo.
Please contact me for the correct logo. Haofeng93 ( talk) 14:27, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I am having trouble with someone who keeps deleting sections of my daughter's Wikipedia page dealing with her tennis career. The entries are factually correct. I have asked them to stop doing this but they persist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lydian64 ( talk • contribs) 14:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Reference help requested. How do you want me to go about fixing this? I thought this was correct in how the page was supposed to be added. Thanks, Movieman2 ( talk) 17:14, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Is there a known good script for closing Afds? I realize there may be multiple scripts to close Afds as I've noticed editors going about the same quite easily. Can someone experienced connect me to any recommended script which I could use (if I wished to close straightforward keep afds)? Thanks to you all in advance... Lourdes 17:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, keepers of the eternal flame! I'm trying to centre a poem between two images in Ständchen, D 889 (Schubert)#18th century editors, but I'm having a lot of difficulty. I imagine it's possible, but I can't find out how to do it. Any ideas, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MinorProphet ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Fantastic! Thank you. Done
I have tried a number of attempts to include a signature image for the infobox of the Willy Stöwer article. Previously, (after giving up) I used it as the main image; an unsatisfactory result. Just now I replaced that with an actual photo, but would like to include the signature. Help! 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:F853:9A57:8459:1F05 ( talk) 20:40, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Apparently, I have personally look over all the major news coverage on him in China, and find he truly have enough evidence for contribution. We can all agree he coined new words. However, I founded there's something more. What he really did is he made spoken language into a discipline. So by all means is fair to say. That he continued, and add new concepts that assist second acquisition learner's from acquiring a new language. I also read his other stories. The guy is really a good; devout Christian man, and he cares about the educational situation in China. So let us all show him some love and support! And please let us never take anyone too lightly without seriously, thoroughly, in detail understand each person behind the article that we encounter.
