Edit counter mot working in commons
Hi, I have been using http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pcount/index.php?name=Redrose64&lang=commons&wiki=wikimedia to chaeck my commons edit count; this worked until a few days ago, but now it throws the error "MySQL error, please report to X! using the bug reporter. Be sure to report the following SQL error when reporting: No database selected". Has the URL syntax changed? The equivalent for English Wikipedia, http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pcount/index.php?name=Redrose64&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia still works. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:08, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I wonder if you could replace
{{Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)}}
with
{{Sandbox heading}} <!-- Please leave this line alone! -->
as this template has been moved. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chp cum.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Chp cum.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Toolserver
Hello X!,
I don't really understand how the Toolserver pages work, but I'm working on a school project and I was wondering if there is any way to get the data in spreadsheet form. I need lots and lots of data, all of which is included in pages like this:
