I question the neutrality of the recently added statements:

• "Making matters worse, WWJ-TV has had to compete with longtime VHF CBS affiliates WTOL channel 11 in Toledo, Ohio and WLNS channel 6 in Lansing, Michigan. Both stations signals cover the Detroit/Windsor area decently."

I have placed a notice on the editor's talk page here. Thomprod (talk) 16:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

rv edit by [User:Joev688] made 20:52, December 27, 2008: Boq Tin man ==> Tin Woodman

Spelling: lense ==> lens. [[Wikipedia:Typo|You can help!]]

Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings

It's pretty simple. For the first ref, make the ref just like you normally would, only instead of using <ref>...</ref>, use <ref name="NAME">...</ref>, where "NAME" is any name you want to use for the ref (the only rule is the name can't be a number...it can be letters and numbers but not just a number). For every other time you want to use that ref, just type <ref name="NAME"/>, with nothing inside it, and using the same name as before. That will make the exact same ref appear. —

This is the first use of the ref.[1]

This is the second use of the ref.^[1]

Over the past week, I have added more detail to the section on Television Productions and tried to use inline footnotes to cite my references. In most cases, the references were web pages. Is there a better way to do this? I have read WP:Citeweb, but I think the footnote numbers that are produced by using (ref) and (/ref) keep the article text cleaner. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Use <ref>{{Cite web|...}}</ref>. Dendodge Talk^Contribs 19:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c)If you wrap the citeweb template in <ref></ref>, the cite web stuff will be incorporated in the footnoted reference. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 19:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Dendodge and Ukexpat. I'll change them next time I have have a chance. Thomprod (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to link to a section with in a page and I don't know how could someone give me an example? Shadowmaster13 (talk) 10:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Put a # between the article name and section title. For example, [[Canada#History]] would link to the

Actually what I meant was can you link from the top of a page to a section of that same page?Shadowmaster13 (talk) 08:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what the Table of Contents is for? --Thomprod (talk) 00:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just omit the page name before # in the above example by AlexiusHoratius. [[#Internal Links|this]] creates this piped link to the heading of this section. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
