I had a link I attached to my hometowns page removed. Someone removed it and stated it was against guidelines. I was confused it was a site ran by a part of the city. -- Skilletgamingtv ( talk) 19:29, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. In other words, the site should not merely repeat information that is already or should be in the article.
Hello. I would humbly like to make a correction that the rifle in the photo of Jerry Potts is an 1873 not 1866 winchester. The side plates of the rifle's receiver show distinctly in the photo. Also, the 1866 fired .44 Henry. The 1873 fired .44-40 or as Winchester originally called it, .44WCF (winchester central fire) which would make a lot more sense as it's the same cartridge as his hand guns. Love Wikipedia and have a nice day. -- Ron M. in AB ( talk) 23:17, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Hey it's me, the one who helped make your signature. I've gotten a little more experience since I made yours and I've noticed something that could be an issue. When you make a post on a talk page, your signature leaves a little gap of white space before the date and time. This is an issue with the way that I programmed the signature. If you replace the part that says "right:21q" with "margin-right:-21q" this whitespace will not be there and look better. Here is the resulting the difference:
Old signature : Vukky Talk Guestbook 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
New signature: Vukky Talk Guestbook 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Here is the changed code if you'd like to use this:
[[User:Vukky|<b style="background:#000;color:#00a8f3;padding:1q;border-radius:5q">Vukky</b>]][[User talk:Vukky|<sup>Talk</sup>]][[User:Vukky/Guestbook|<sub style="position:relative;margin-left:-21q;top:1q">Guestbook</sub>]]
If you have any issues or questions, please let me know. Thanks, ― Levi_OP Talk 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
