Help

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I was wondering if there is a way to search for wiki articles in your own area?? --Discolover18 (talk) 12:15, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Do you mean articles in a particular subject area, or articles relating to your local geographic area (which are kind of the same thing, I suppose)? Yunshui _水 12:26, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, articles within my local area of Erskine--Discolover18 (talk) 12:37, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Is this any use?

v t e Renfrewshire council area
Local Government	Renfrewshire Council (local authority) Council wards County of Renfrew (registration county) Renfrewshire lieutenancy area
Towns	Paisley (administrative centre) Renfrew (traditional county town) Johnstone Erskine Linwood
Villages	Areas of Paisley Bishopton Bridge of Weir Brookfield Crosslee Elderslie Houston Howwood Inchinnan Kilbarchan Langbank Lochwinnoch
Other locations	Braehead arena Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park Glasgow Airport Paisley Abbey St Mirren Park University of the West of Scotland
UK Parliamentary constituencies	Paisley and Renfrewshire North Paisley and Renfrewshire South
Scottish Parliamentary constituencies	Paisley Renfrewshire North and West Renfrewshire South
See also	Paisley (UK Parliament constituency) Renfrewshire (historic) Strathclyde Strathgryffe West Renfrewshire (Scottish Parliament constituency) West Renfrewshire (UK Parliament constituency)
Neighbouring council areas East Renfrewshire Glasgow Inverclyde North Ayrshire West Dunbartonshire

Yunshui _水 12:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah that's pretty good, thanks.--Discolover18 (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I live to serve. Sadly there's no Portal:Erskine (Portal:Scotland is about as close as you'll get), nor a useful category (Category:Renfrewshire might have some helpful stuff in, though). I also note that we need an article on Erskine Hospital, if you're bored and have nothing better to do... Yunshui _水 12:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Ive thought for ages that the Erskine Hospital could be doing with it's own page and also the Mar Hall hotel as well. Yeah, ill see what happens. Thank you for your help.--Discolover18 (talk) 12:57, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

l, you e== Help ==

I'm looking to start an article. I need some help and some questions answered. I have an article in my sandbox. I don't how to turn it into a proper article??? Thanks. --Discolover18 (talk) 13:06, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

(typed before edit conflict)

The best place to look for guidance for starting a new article is WP:Your First Article, while the best place to get quick answers about general questions onwiki is at the WP:Teahouse. Once ready to start your new article, go to Articles for Creation at WP:AFC, or use the "Article Wizard" link on the YFA page.

You can also, of course, use the {{help me}} like you did, but that'll just put you on the list for a single helper...the Teahouse is more of a message board for multiple people to give comments.

(after conflict, and after looking)

Nice! I just edited your draft and added the "Articles for Submission" header to the top. All you need to do to submit the article is click the button. Honestly, I think it's quite nice, I'm just not an AfC reviewer. Revent (talk) 13:43, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your help. I think that's it done right. I hope so. Thanks for your help. --Discolover18 (talk) 14:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Well, you ended up submitting it multiple times, but that's no big deal and common... after you submit, there is a lag before the header changes. Your page is in the proper category (Pending AfC submissions) and that's what matters. Revent (talk) 14:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your help once again. I'll get the hang of this one day. --Discolover18 (talk) 15:17, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Help

Hi I saved a draft of an article. Where does it save to?? Sorry but i'm a complete noob at this. Thanks.--Discolover18 (talk) 10:04, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry

It is located at Draft:Erskine (charity). For future reference, you can look this up in future via your contributions. --Mdann52talk to me! 10:58, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much btw--Discolover18 (talk) 11:02, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Help

Hi. My sandbox has an article I wrote in it. However when I delete my sandbox, It deletes that article. It's strange. Can anybody help. The article is Mar Hall Hotel.--Discolover18 (talk) 08:36, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Your sandbox currently redirects to the live article. In order to re-use your sandbox, you'll want to remove the redirect. Here's how that works: When you open your sandbox, you'll be redirected to the article, but at the very top, you should see the text "(Redirected from User:Discolover18/sandbox)". When you click on that, you'll be taken to your sandbox with the redirection disabled, allowing you to edit the sandbox and do with it as you please. For now, here's the direct link. Hope that helps. Cheers! ~ | twsx | _cont | ~ 08:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	You're doing great work on a number of articles and becoming a fine Wikipedian. It is my pleasure to award you your first barnstar :) LukeSurl 12:34, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I am really chuffed by the way. It is my second star now. I got one from John the moderator guy. However I am really chuffed. I think ive had 6 articles done now. I have had help from John. I hope some of my articles look ok. Once again, thanks. Chuffed.--Discolover18 (talk) 13:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

How do you archive the stuff on your talk page??--Discolover18 (talk) 14:30, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

One way to do it is to program and use an archiving bot. I personally like using Cluebot the third.

Another way is do it manually, usually through cut and paste. This page explains how it's done. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 15:13, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
