Hello! Recently, I discovered that I have some (distant) relatives who were quite involved in the silent film industry, one of which being Robert (Rocco) Vignola. After my grandparents died, my mother and I ended up with many photos and and several albums that he put together. Some of which are from his silent film sets. As far as I've researched, many of the photos that I have aren't anywhere online. I am curious as to how I should go about publishing these things. -- D.Cappellano617 ( talk) 03:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
I thought it's very cool what you did with your user page. How did you do it? Does it take a while? -- EliasRiveraReal ( talk) 07:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to inquire as to the protocol/custom for editing pages where the neutrality/tone is challenged. Can the page just be revised or is there a form of review process? -- ExiaMesa ( talk) 22:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Please how can I add a biography on wikipedia (extensive article)? I have all the necessary information and links. -- Stephen Ini ( talk) 03:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
I see you've made a few contributions to the dumpster fire well-oiled machine that is DYK's prep sets and backrooms. Welcome! Prep setting is a job that earns you a lot of trouts, but also lots of thanks. One thing is
WP:DYKVAR recommends against putting more than four biographies or four US-related hooks in one set, so try to keep that in mind. Also, I see you're an admin, which means you can also contribute by promoting preparation sets to the queue (see
WP:DYKAI). Happy setting!
