2022 Pro Bowl Logo[edit]

Can You Please Upload the 2022 pro bowl logo please if you can find it. 98.186.54.177 (talk) 02:14, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Pro Bowl talk page may be the best place for this request. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 02:27, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We are all familiar with this user using different IP addresses to badger people here to add logos to articles of future sporting events. If you look at his/her talk page, you'll see that his (or her) entire participation is adding these premature articles, and having them declined as being too soon. He/she can be quite impatient at times. See [[1]] At what point does this disruption become worthy of a ANI report and IP block? TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 01:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove a new line on top of Template:Infobox rocket[edit]

When I enable Wikidata on the template, suddenly there is a new line on top. I tried to remove Wikidata properties and honestly I have no idea why the new line is still there. Does anyone have any clue? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 04:15, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CactiStaccingCrane: What do you mean by enable Wikidata? Are you describing the template page or some page using the template? PrimeHunter (talk) 04:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter I embedded Module:WikidataIB to the template, which supposed to be able to receive both manual and Wikidata input. It doesn't make a new line on top until I move the new template to Template:Infobox rocket. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 05:00, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I think that it is fixed now. Thanks for assisting my troubleshooting. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 05:09, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a template collapse switch?[edit]

How do I cite Google Earth?[edit]

Google Earth time slider shows clear evidence of the period of a development in 2012, which I can't find evidenced anywhere else. How do I cite it in an article please? Johnragla (talk) 17:47, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since that would appear to constitute original research, you can't. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:53, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was a discussion of Google Earth OR in 2008, which concluded that a description of images wasn't necessarily OR. Johnragla (talk) 20:05, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the 2008 discussion reached any useful conclusion at all: two people said one thing, one said another. It might help if you were more specific though. I'd recommend asking at WP:RSN, stating the article in question, and exactly what it is you are citing Google Earth for. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:28, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Italic titles[edit]

How does one make an article's title italic? Specifically, I believe Bazar de la Charité should be italicized. --107.15.157.44 (talk) 19:08, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can put the template {{Italic title}} somewhere in the article - preferably at the top. Make sure the article meets the Article titles policy. --ColinFine (talk) 19:16, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; (that falls under MOS:FOREIGNITALIC). 107.15.157.44 (talk) 19:25, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[Edit Conflict] Well, you could find out by looking at the title coding of the article on the TV miniseries Le Bazar de la Charité about the fire at that annual event. However, it may have been a deliberate decision not to italicise the title of the event's article, in contrast to the miniseries' title as is standard.

Have you studied WP:MoS#Italics and its relevant links, and weighed its subsections Titles and Foreign words against each other? To me, the latter's "However, proper names (such as place names) in other languages are not usually italicized . . ." suggests the title should not be italicised as you propose. If you still think it should, go ahead with step one of WP:BRD. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.205.225.31 (talk) 19:29, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done (before reading this post) -- also, since it was already italicized in the body of the article -- feel free to undo, if desired. 107.15.157.44 (talk) 19:34, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What? RudolfRed (talk) 20:11, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by posting the whole of Wikipedia's article False advertising here on the Help desk. Given that you have attached the URL of an external site, I'm guessing that you are claiming that that external site is an example of false advertising. Whether you are right or not (I haven't looked), this is absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia, and it is inappropriate to make such an argument on Wikipedia's Help desk. If you have a grievance about that site, you will need to take it up with them, not with Wikipedia. --ColinFine (talk) 21:28, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
