Could anyone please tell me if a group only qualifies for category pages like Category: Musical quintets if the group consistently has only five members, if they started out with that number and changed the amount of members over the years, or if they had five members at one or more points midway through their run?-- Thylacine24 ( talk) 00:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
I noticed an edit from an IP address to Second_Bill_of_Rights&oldid=1011770530, which I reverted. Checking out the edit history associated with that account showed a variety of small contributions which are interesting but not supported by discussion or sources. I vaguely recall there being a process for welcoming new users to Wikipedia and I'm not looking to bully anybody here. What should my next step be, if any? -- Edwin Herdman ( talk) 02:10, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Is it possible to use Template:Sortname with an ill link? I'm trying to sort Jacques De Braekeleer by "De Braekeleer" for List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven but not sure how to link in this case... Aza24 ( talk) 03:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Is there a bot that automatically corrects grammatical errors? DrSalvus ( talk) 18:20, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
I read the page about COI and wikipedian in residence. I don't find info about paid contributions from destination marketing organizations. Writing about a destination, its history, its sightseeings, its typical food (of a city or of a region etc) is it similar to writing about a GLAM institution? were there case about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.57.253.17 ( talk) 18:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I made a number of twinkle personal options but unintentionally took Twinkle options off the screen. So are my options above the screen. What can I do to get Twinkle to reappear in my options? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Salvus ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Would this book contribute to the notability of the companies listed in it? SK2242 ( talk) 19:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't see why it shouldn't. Has somebody suggested otherwise? Spinney Hill ( talk) 10:15, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I havent seen this particular book but from the information provided ity looks like an enthusiast's book edited by an independent editor/author. It is likely to contain for each company a brief history and a list of fleet numbers of buses with some technical details for each type of bus the company runs. The selection of which companies are listed is likely to be made by the editor/author. Some of this information is likely to be provided by the companies or can be found in the trade press. Perhaps SK2242 can confirm that this is the type of book he is talking about. Spinney Hill ( talk) 10:10, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
How can I protect a page to interface administrators? DrSalvus ( talk) 20:24, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Code that you insert on this page could contain malicious content capable of compromising your account. If you import a script from another page with "importScript" or "iusc", take note that this causes you to dynamically load a remote script, which could be changed by others.
If you are unsure whether code you are adding to this page is safe, you can ask at the appropriate village pump. The code will be executed when previewing this page.

If i'm reading an article and I see a fact attributed to a historical person without attribution, how can I ask for a source to be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muirbio ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying to translate a Wikipedia page for a competition show and I require the use of Color Boxes to do so, however I don't believe that I can just simple copy and paste the English spelling into the source editor, as it says it doesn't exist. Is there a way to get Colour Boxes in German? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylveon ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Upon clicking on a link in an article, I received an error msg:
