| Thank you for paying attention to my page! I'm a little confused, however, because I used the visual editor, and I thought it automatically formatted elements such as links to Wikipedia pages and citations (unless I manually input information for those, which I did in several cases).
I don't want to reverse your corrections because I'm sure you wouldn't have done them if they weren't needed. But I do want to learn about this issue and how to avoid it. Somebody else had told me to get rid of the external links in my copy, but I couldn't figure out what he meant because I thought my text links were to Wikipedia pages, and my external links appeared in citation footnotes. This is my first serious page contribution and I sweated every detail, so I'm trying to absorb whatever guidance experts like you can provide. Again, thanks for the look at the page. It appears you are a reviewer ... so what did you think? How can I get this page approved, or what other work do I need to do? I've been tightening the text and cutting the discography (and keep going back to trim more), but I think it reads pretty well, has solid attribution (with external links in the process of being backed up in the archive) and is about a notable person worthy of coverage. I hope you don't mind me asking so many questions, but I sure appreciate any input you might be inclined to offer. ～～～～ TexasEditor1 ( talk) 09:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC) |
- Thanks ... thought I saw something about you being a reviewer. In any case, I understood what your corrections were, but the point I was trying to make is that I used visual editing, not source editing, so I didn't do the coding. It was automatic. So I'm not sure whether it makes a difference whether I code it with your instructions or use the coding that visual editor automatically created. I'm not sure why visual editor would exist if it's going to code everything incorrectly; I just know that if it didn't, I'd never have the patience to manually code every single name and italicized title in this thing (which was twice as long when I first submitted it).
- I did find the external references you mentioned in the discography, and frankly, I have no idea why I did them that way. I just turned them into citations. I still need to create archived pages for references in that section, but I still think it's ready to be published; I just wish I could get someone to actually review it and make that happen.
- Thanks so much for the attention and responses. TexasEditor1 ( talk) 09:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@ Cmr08:, Thanks for changing the px and adjusting the other stuff! Greatly Appreciate it! One question though, how do the px's work? I honestly was just copying another article's format since I've only been here for less than 3 weeks.
- Hi The Capitalist forever, px is short for pixel. It just means how big the image should appear. It was listed as 150 pixels which was pretty small. I just leave images in their default size, which is done by leaving the image_size parameter empty. Cmr08 ( talk) 08:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there @ Cmr08,
I wanted to give you a heads up on some of your edits to my pages (eg: Anikv, The Limba, Niletto, etc.). In case you didn't see, those are pages I translated from the Russian Wikipedia, so there was bound to be some errors here and there. I was merely trying to at least start those pages here on the English Wikipedia, so I didn't really do as thorough of a job as I should have. Also keep in mind that I don't bring every single thing over to here (either because I chose not to translate it, the sources there are blacklisted here, or some other reason). That's why there are expansion tags on those pages for editors that might be interested in doing so. That being said, thanks for the edits you made to them. They're very helpful. Losipov ( talk) 21:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Losipov, I think the extent of my edits to those articles was to fix small manual of style edits. I didn't even notice the expansion templates. Cmr08 ( talk) 05:34, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, thank you very much for your contributions on my article (Boukari Laouali). Can you help me introduce links on the page to remove the tag (orphan)? Thanks in advance Wikipedien28 ( talk) 11:55, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Wikipedien28, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't been online for a couple of days. From your question, I think you have misunderstood what an orphan is. Adding links in the Boukari Laouali article does not make the article no longer an orphan. To remove the orphan tag, we need links in other articles directing to the Boukari Laouali article. Clicking on "what links here" in the tools menu will show what articles are linking here, and it appears that you have removed the orphan tags from this article and the Polha Andrea article, when they are both clearly still orphans.

Hello Cmr08!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.

- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Thanks for your contributions to Kelvin May. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ktkvtsh ( talk) 04:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Cmro8, thank you for your recent edits to the George Bain (academic) page. I have inserted some additional references and removed the tag relating to disclosure of payment as I have now added the paid disclosure to my user page and flagged it up in a recent edit summary,
I’m a newbie to Wikipedia. I've been a professional copy editor for many years and George Bain engaged me to edit his autobiography last summer. While doing this I realised ‘his’ previous Wikipedia page contained several factual errors and that there were also significant omissions in relation to his career. In the interests of accuracy, I made several substantial corrections to this page some months ago. Since then, the page had remained relatively untouched until I posted a help query, after which the tags appeared. My help query related to the side bar. I’ve been unable to insert a reference to Bain’s role as Director of the Industrial Relations Research Unit at the University of Warwick, which is a major omission. Is this something you can help with?
As several references have now been added, can the tags referring to citations now be removed? Also, I’m not sure how to address the tag stating that the page reads like a résumé. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and best wishes. Ashanza5 Ashanza5 ( talk) 18:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Ashanza5, the only edit I made to this article was to put the headers in the correct format, so I don't think I can be of much help with the issues you mentioned.
