@ Headbomb: I am looking for some advice. I am working on an article about Bakewell glass. Bakewell glass is one of Pittsburgh's most famous glass factories even though it closed in 1882. Benjamin Bakewell is considered the father of American flint glass. There is currently a Start-class Wikipedia article called Bakewell Glass written by someone that has not contributed since 2019. I plan to upgrade it to Good Article. I have already written GA articles about glass: Hartford City Glass Company, Fostoria Glass Company, Indiana Glass Company, J. H. Hobbs, Brockunier and Company, Early glassmaking in the United States, and others that are B-Class. The odd thing about Bakewell is that the company was reorganized and renamed numerous times—it had nine different names, all with "Bakewell" in the name. Currently, I plan to use the name that it used for 36 of its 74 years in existence—Bakewell, Pears and Company. Is this a good idea, or is it better to use "Bakewell glass" (not "Bakewell Glass"), even though there never was a company simply named Bakewell glass and the InfoBox Company might be a little awkward? BTW, I will be unavailable for Wikipedia starting tomorrow until May. TwoScars ( talk) 20:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to apologise for reverting your edit on the page Tehzeeb-ul-Akhlaq. I was not familiar with the ISO 4 abbreviation standard and my ignorance was reflected in my action. Your revert of my edit made me look into the standard and I shall familiarise myself with the same. In a way, I am thankful to you for making me read up about the standard.
Cheers. -- Indianite ( talk) 11:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I am working with SafariScribe on an article, but I realize that they cannot see the same thing I see about reference link errors. You know I am not technical, so I hope you can "interpret" my non-precise description of what I need and help us. There is a gadget that one can install in a "skin"? that shows errors in the links to citations and sources in various colors. For example, on the anchor I see this "Harv error: link from CITEREFObi-Young2018 doesn't point to any citation." in orange and in the source, I see "Harv warning: There is no link pointing to this citation. The anchor is named CITEREFOtosirieze_Obi-Young2018." in brown. I have no idea how to find or edit the "skin", much less how to find the name of the gadget or how to install it. Do you understand what I am trying to say and can you help with instructions on how to install the gadget? I very much appreciate your patience with my technical limitations and your willingness to help. SusunW ( talk) 17:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
