Sorry for the revert on Cuban sandwich; there was a lot of negative activity on the page over the past couple of days and I lost track of which edits needed to be cleaned up. Zeng8r (talk) 13:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Seltorop (09:43, 8 January 2024)
Hello, I wrot an article last week and it was deleted because of its looks like a marketing article about portless. How can I re-write or post again with different content ? --Seltorop (talk) 09:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
Chin Tiki
I added the following to the Chin Tiki article: "In 1975, a gay bar, complete with D.J., called "Top of the Tiki" briefly existed on the top floor of the building." How do I know? I went there. I knew the DJ. It opened and closed in 1975. That's not good enough evidence? 216.252.210.83 (talk) 07:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome. I've reverted your edit because it was unsourced. Reliable sources are required to add with the content (to make sure it's both verifiable and can support the material), and if there is no citation for the content you decide to add, then it shouldn't be added to the article in question. Thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 07:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Atluox (00:36, 13 January 2024)
Hi -- been a while since last edit.
Trying to create articles in English for young Luxembourgish politicians, any templates I should follow?
Many don't have links at all.
Liz Braz, Christos Floros, Jana Degrott, Fabricio Costa, Jessie Thill, Amar Armani (in case you want to check it out) --Atluox (talk) 00:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! You can use the
{{Infobox politician}}
template for your drafts, and it looks like you have a draft currently active, Draft:Christos Floros. However, it probably has the possibility to be declined, but don't worry or overreact if it was declined by an articles for creation (AfC) reviewer; you may continue to improve the draft (adding adequate and reliable sources, following a neutral point of view, etc.) until it is ready to become published in the mainspace. Thanks! – 64andtim (talk) 06:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Question from Marshyg (05:50, 13 January 2024)
How does protection of wiki page works? Wanted to semi-protect a page but don't know how. --Marshyg (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome! Unfortunately, users who are not an administrator (sysop) cannot semi-protect pages. Page protection is used to prevent vandalism, disruptive editing, edit wars, and others. Hope that helps, and thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 06:24, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a way we can request them to protect a page? Marshyg (talk) 11:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, and when you see "Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level", click on the blue button below that, and insert the page you want to be protected and the reason for protection (such as persistent vandalism or disruptive editing, and other reasons). Thank you. – 64andtim (talk) 11:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Trying to Edir
Hello - Trying to edit this page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Bogner_Sr. - but you flagged me. Not sure what I did wrong. I wanted to add, "Willy Bogner, Sr. was a Nazi and an SS officer." Here is the reference: Österreichs Skisport im National-Sozialismus: Anpassung-Verfolgung-Kollaboration, by Andreas Praher, Ph.D. Dr. Praher is a postdoctoral researcher in history at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. 85.59.9.210 (talk) 12:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I have undone the edit because appears to be unsourced. If there are no reliable sources that support the claim, then the content should not be added to the article in question. – 64andtim (talk) 12:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Here is the source again : Österreichs Skisport im National-Sozialismus: Anpassung-Verfolgung-Kollaboration, by Andreas Praher, Ph.D. Dr. Praher is a postdoctoral researcher in history at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. 85.59.9.210 (talk) 14:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- His source seems to be doi:10.1515/9783110724127.
Edit: On page 328, reference 114 specifically. Nobody (talk) 14:30, 17 January 2024 (UTC)- After I have taken a look at Wikipedia:Digital Object Identifier, maybe somebody could take it to the talk page for consensus. As for the IP address, apologies if I have mistaken your edit as "non-constructive" after it appeared to be in good faith, and this will not happen again. – 64andtim (talk) 14:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, reverter. What do you think "Saxon greetings" really means ? I really want to know, as I'm very interested in all kinds of gymnastics. You seem to be an expert.

Mop reserved template
Hello friend. Regarding User talk:Philipnelson99#There is a mop reserved in your name, you might already know this, but that template is usually used on prospective admins rather than prospective EFMs. Admin is a bit harder to get than EFM and usually requires content work such as a good article in order for it to go smooth. That template also notifies a bunch of people. Or if you already knew all that, disregard :) Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

You might want to fully read this page first, and note than autoconfirmed users (whose accounts have more than 10 edits and have 4 days of age or more) allowed to create pages in the mainspace, but there is the article wizard in which any user can create pages in the draftspace. This means that new articles can be created and developed for a limited period of time, and this allow editors to develop new articles and to receive feedback before being moved to the mainspace. Thank you! :-) Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 13:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [5]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now watch message groups/projects on Translatewiki.net. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [13]

Problems
- Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm"

Links removal
Hey Noreste you might want to double check the link removal on the page regarding the location . it is actually a legit link and follow the guidelines of wikipedia. Let me know if you need further info Adamou752 (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Adamou752: I've checked your edit, and it looks like you've added below the article's categories and it appears to be an external link. So is adding this necessary? Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it does help a lot. Going through the article there is no mention of a practical way to show location on a map even it mentions relative and absolute location, not even Google maps. On that note if you are not comfortable with the previous link it could be replace by google map? Adamou752 (talk) 17:33, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think I have a solution: you could request this on the talk page if it's appropriate or not to add this link. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
