The term was applied once in 1943 to the US, the USSR and the British Empire. The statement you reversed states that "It was a term applied to the United Kingdom and her British Empire for several hundred years before sustaining immense damage yet surviving the full force of both World Wars." That's something very different. I'm sure that the British Empire was one of the main powers pre-WWII, but so were many other countries.

Go to hell. I edited a page based upon the information I had, which is the whole point of this site. I in no way "vandalized" anything. If you're that uptight, get a life and get outside now and then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.240.35.46 (talk • contribs)

I'm having trouble modifying an infobox for an article on a "mountain". I put the coordinates in, and the infobox shows the coordinates, and after them it has {{{7}}}″{{{8}}}. How do I get that to go away?

scroll down to the bottom

When you use {{coor dms}} you need 8 parameters (see the usage). When you are missing parameters the 7 and 8 appear. The solution is to include the missing coordinates.--Commander Keane 19:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-06-08T19:52:00.000Z","author":"Commander Keane","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Commander_Keane-2006-06-08T19:52:00.000Z-Need_help_getting_an_infobox_to_work.","replies":["c-Commander_Keane-2006-06-08T20:29:00.000Z-Commander_Keane-2006-06-08T19:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

I created an image using Paint for an article that did not have an image. I've been trying to upload it, and it wouldn't take a .bmp, so I changed it to .pdf, but now the image won't display unless you open the pdf. Obviously it can't go in the article that way. This is my first attempt at image upload, so... what am I doing?

To my knowledge Wikipedia accepts only .gif and .jpeg files. --Pilot|guy 15:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-06-21T15:25:00.000Z","author":"Pilotguy","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pilotguy-2006-06-21T15:25:00.000Z-Need_help_with_an_image.","replies":["c-Commander_Keane-2006-06-21T15:28:00.000Z-Pilotguy-2006-06-21T15:25:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pilot|"}}-->

If you are using paint (like I do :-)), you will want to go File, Save As and select PNG. PNG is the best format for icons and things.

Yeay!!! It worked!!! Thanks for all your help!!! Now to try to get it in the article...

Phew! Man, you really freaked me out when I saw this whole thing that says: scary that Sheynhertz-Unbayg isn't the only one adding these things... I kind of thought it was a reference to a Disambig vandal or something. Thanks for the cateogory addition! It'll be helpful in the long run... hopefully someone can add to it... especially the dang red links that Wiki has...

I notice you've made a lot of changes to the article on Water, including adding the chemical infobox. Now, I'm not saying these edits are bad... but you do realize, don't you, that there is a seperate article on the chemical properties of water? And that that other article Water (molecule) has the infobox you added? And that the infobox in Water (molecule) is more complete then the one you added to Water?

Ahhh, glad you asked, I never though of a problem like that. Under your preferences there should be a Misc tab. In that section is an option: "Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3 headings)". Make sure that box is checked. I currently have a TOC on the page after the bump, so if you're still having problems, check to assure you have javascript enabled in your browser. (I think the TOC uses javascript).

Dear ONUnicorn I'm so sorry I'm writing here because I don't know a real place to talk to you, I would like to say that the Arabian Nights were not erased by me I simply re-added some other works as Chaucer Dante and a few other authors. I don't think that we can let these facts out of Wikipedia because Chaucer is a pillar of English and human culture as Dante and the few others I restored I look forward to talking to you

I believe you might be correct on this organization being notable. Is there an article or something that might show that? I looked but could find nothing. I would prefer no going to AfD.
