March 5[edit]

06:57:23, 5 March 2017 review of submission by 176.199.114.13[edit]


Not a problem, I don't think it makes sense to merge this topic into postage stamps, since this is a specific topic, as there are many with stamps. I prefer the approach of the German Wikipedia which allows specific stamp topics in its own right. You can delete the draft.

Hello, IP address. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. If you are really intent on deleting the draft, the quickest way to do that is to place {{db-self}} at the top of the draft. This indicates that a request for deletion is coming from the draft's creator (i.e., you) and will be acted upon within a few hours. Or, if you prefer, you can do nothing and let the material be available to anyone else who might care to use it. Either way, thanks again for your interest in Wikipedia.

Having trouble with making all the content of the page be aligned as right to left, i don't understand if i need to change the page content language (and if so, how?) or what markup to use to create proper alignment from right to left. Avichaim (talk) 21:18, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Avi. Thank you for your interest in the English Wikipedia. Your draft has a larger problem than the direction of its text -- we are not going to accept an article that isn't written in English. Your text will first need to be translated, at which point the left-to-right direction will be the correct one. I hope this response has been helpful.

I want to learn how to create an automatic table of contents for my draft page....I have invented one but would rather have the standard automatic version. ThanksWirewool (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Bryan23:18, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Wirewool (talk)[reply]

Hello, Wirewool. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. You don't need to learn how to create the Table of Contents, because they are generated automatically. The problem you are facing is not knowing how to format the headings of your sections (which is what the Table of Contents is looking for). You might want to read through our WP:Tutorial, especially the section on "Formatting". I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:58, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
