{{helpme}} Alex, thank you for your answer. could you possibly help me (I've written my problem on the discussion page - and noone answered). I'll repeat it: Could you please help me with the categories. I managed to include several, but the surname Martynenko isn't arranged in alphabetical order (though I put him down on the List of Political scientists and Sociologists). It stands apart from the rest. And the same goes to all of the categories. What's the problem? Thanks in advance. Kate Orlova 09:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC) Kate Orlova

I've fixed it for you using the {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word. This is what I did. I hope that helps! --ais523 09:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Thank you VERY much for such a prompt answer and your help! and in future where should I write this magic word (in edit this page?) in order to avoid this? Thank you. Kate Orlova 10:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC) Kate Orlova

It has to go before anything in the article which involves a category, so it's easiest to put it right at the top. --ais523 10:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI, the problem you were having had to do with the extra "| " that you put in the category. Using something like [[Category:1953 births| ]] forces the article name to the beginning of the category list. In general DEFAULTSORT is best if it is near the categories themselves rather than the top of the article. I just checked the article and removed the redundant DEFAULTSORT. Hope this helps.

need help

Could anyone possibly advise me on how to edit the heading of the article . I've edited the name in the text, but have no idea how to do so in the header. help! please! thanx! Kate Orlova 12:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I did it for you. In future just press the "move" button (near the history button) and enter the new name of the article. ReadWP:MOVE for caveats Alex Bakharev 00:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kate Orlova! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 874 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
