I accidentally added something to page as a joke not knowing it would actually publish as I thought it would be a protected page. When it did publish I immediately freaked out and deleted it. As I was deleting it I must have changed around the format and now some information is in the wrong columns and I don't know how to change it as I don't understand the editing format. I feel really guilty and do not want to be sued by anyone. I also need Wikipedia for school. My question is, will I be kicked off Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:3892:D101:9035:22B7:8A2E:2C4A (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the problem. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Nobody will sue you or block you for an innocent mistake; just please try to do any editing tests in the

WP:SANDBOX, or better, register an account and use your personal sandbox. Also, when asking for help, please provide more information about the problem is (in this case, a link to the article, BTS videography, would have helped). Thanks. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 08:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

Good morning, I have a small statue which was made in the Philippines many years ago. I would like to contact the natural History Museum there. Do you have a contact email?

Hi I accidently signed up to wikipedia when I thought I was writting to some producer. Now I can’t find a way to delete what I wrote or delete my account. This is really unfair. I have searched and searched but you don’t seem to have a deactivate my account option nor any way to withdraw what I have posted. I am so disapointed with wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jelaraja (talk • contribs) 14:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The mistaken edit was reverted by a

bot. You can't delete an account, but you can abandon it and not use it again. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

Hello User:David Biddulph, I am sorry to bother but I have also some sort of similar problem with my account. I created this long ago and my email address has now changed and I have closed down my old address and got a new one. What should I do? How can i transfer my existing account to the new email please? Or would I have to open a new account and close the old one? Kindly guide thanks. AsadUK200 (talk) 21:33, 11 January 2020 (UTC)AsadUK200[reply]

how do you make that symbol on a talk page that means you are resetting the indents, ie moving the next paragraph all the way back to flush left?--Sm8900 (talk) 14:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For information about indentation, see WP:Indentation. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can use {{od}}; just as I have done here. Eagleash (talk) 16:06, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

terrific. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am somewhat new at this and appreciate your patience. I am still getting the cite reference that I can't make sense of, so it keeps reverting.

I desperately need help to sort out why when I edit a page for my client, it goes back to the old one? URL is: Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan

I'd really appreciate your help.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdullahejaz2 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
