I want to edit a article of semi protection changes. -- Vinay viniyl ( talk) 09:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Hi there Cocobb8! Thanks so much.
I'm actually wondering how to get a 'confirmed' wiki account?? I followed the verify account instructions, but for some reason it's not letting me upload photos in order to use them in wiki pages. -- TrevorGaeillan ( talk) 00:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, any chance you could self-rv? I was writing my rationale for deleting the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ami Dror (2nd nomination), but saw you closed it as a non-admin. Since it's quite extensive, and even though my !vote will probably not tip the balance, any objection to reverting and allowing me to leave my !vote for posteriority? Thanks. Pilaz ( talk) 15:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
I submitted an article, and if published, I need the title or name of the wiki article to be edited. How do I edit this? It doesn't show anywhere on the source code.
Should I just delete and resubmit with the new name? TrevorGaeillan ( talk) 01:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Are you a bot? -- WatteryFire ( talk) 10:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Wow Thanks,this helps a lot. How do I prevent edit wars and keep my point(if it's correct)? -- WatteryFire ( talk) 12:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Cocobb8, I was just wondering why you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Craig Murray (disambiguation) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gerhard Lomer as keep, given that they'd been open for less than 24 hours? I !voted keep in the Craig Murray (disambiguation) AfD, but I feel it would have been beneficial for the nomination to have remained open for longer than it was, especially as XfD discussions are usually only closed after seven days. All the best :) — a smart kitten[ meow 18:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi there Cocobb8!! Thanks so much for always responding!
I recently submitted an original article of a actor/voice actor, but, the tags that were automatically attached was "deprecated (unreliable) source." That's unfortunate, because I worked pretty hard to ensure that all sources were valid.
First: Why was this tag auto-attached? Second: Will this tag cause a delay in publishing?
Thanks for your help! TrevorGaeillan ( talk) 02:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
G'day! I just want to add 1000 Schilling gold Olympic Movement : Zeus KM#3028 missing from the list "Commemorative Coins of Austria" - the two 200 schilling silver Olympic coins ARE there. Regards -- Chuck380 ( talk) 21:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Greetings, regarding the decision to keep the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bogdan Khmelnitsky Battalion. Have you reviewed the argument that there is no coverage of article subject other than in news from short period in 2023? Thanks! ManyAreasExpert ( talk) 15:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
strong arguments such as having significant WP:RS and meeting WP:GNG
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 May 11. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. ManyAreasExpert ( talk) 19:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
I see you recently closed it as 'keep' but a bot put a template back up stating that it's still in AFD. This is the second time this has happened in 2 weeks after an AFD close. Do you know what is going on? -- Omer Toledano ( talk) 03:21, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, why did you close the following debates after such a short period:
On the face of it these look like totally inappropriate closures, but I'm worried that I'm missing something here so I'll hold off reverting them until I hear back from you. Thanks, Daniel ( talk) 03:49, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
someones asking me to create a wiki page about himself, so, how do i do it? -- Iamwahid0911 ( talk) 09:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

How to add a title? -- Tatev Melkumyan ( talk) 08:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
I would like to edit the page "Novopil, Donetsk Oblast" to remove biased language, but I'm unsure as to where the boundaries lie with that. I believe some of the information, while factually correct, may overemphasize certain aspects of the subject. For example, the use of the word "liberate" and the inclusion of "not a single undamaged house remained in the village after the Russian occupation" could present some bias. How could this be effectively altered without removing important information? Should the stated justification behind political decisions be included to provide perspective, or would that only further introduce bias and lead to speculative conclusions? I would appreciate some clarification in regards to this. Thank you for your time and consideration. -- BrianOrtigas ( talk) 05:35, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Where can I add languages in which I can edit? My native language is Swedish so I would like to get suggestions for articles in both English and Swedish. Thanks. -- Ofranzen ( talk) 08:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Cocobb8. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, " Vast-2".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello mentor
What (or how many newlines) do I have to insert in the source/visual editor to make my articles not appear lkke this: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydia_pneumoniae? I mean that all of the sections are too close together when they're all collapsed. -- W;ChangingUsername ( talk) 13:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
