As I said, I would like to change header color from violet to white, in Korean Wikipedia. Actually I already know and read wp:COLORWAR, so I choose white; it should be free from color blindness problem, also I will check the consensus in there before (kowiki only). Then, how could I edit default color of navbox in Korean wikipedia? Reiro ( talk) 06:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

I have translated a Wikipedia article from German to English. It still needs adjustments in the infobox for computer games and also some sources would still have to be transferred. Also I don't know how to link the article to the german version. I had translated an article before but it was shorter and I was supported in adapting it to the english wikipedia. How could I find people who might be interested in helping me transfer the translation to a normal wikipedia entry?

Hi
I have created one Wikipedia page for my company which is still awaiting approval from Wikipedia.
I now need to upload a 2nd and a 3rd Wikipedia page, with different headlines, topics and content.
Can you let me know how to do this. I keep going round in circles to my first article?
Thank you, Linda.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SloanLA ( talk • contribs)

Cousin marriage § United Kingdom
Hi all,
I was just reading the United Kingdom section within “Cousin marriage” wiki article.
May I point out that the main content refers to Pakistani ancestry and west Asian ancestry when it comes to quoting statistics and to me comes across very biased in this respect.
This is skewing the statistics as there are no general statistics referenced regarding the whole of the UK with regards to 1st cousin marriages and any genetic conditions.
The reason I was reading the article was because of a debate in a Facebook genealogy group asking about whether 1st cousin marriages were legal. Thankfully this Wiki page has some great graphics showing the legal status across the planet.
As the father of a disabled son, now an Adult, I am constantly conscious of the “perceptions” that disability has in some areas of society, often not helped by inadequate or inappropriate articles.
So the question is how do we get unbiased and informed source articles into this wiki topic?

I've started rewriting this article. At present it consists of an introductory paragraph which I've added, followed by the original text. The original has a few major problems, which I've mentioned on the Talk page.
One is that the citations, though potentially relevant, are very tangential to the text where they're placed. Another is that the original text mostly consists of either confused or deliberately nonsensical summaries of material from some relevant academic papers. (The page was created by a subsequently banned user as their second edit, and I'm honestly not sure whether they intended to create a coherent article.)
I don't yet want to completely discard the existing material or the citations. Neither do I really want to move them to the talk page. For now they're most useful where they are, to refer to while rewriting. I'm thinking the simplest thing is probably to put <!-- --> comments round them so I can edit with the material in situ.
It will mean creating some pretty substantial HTML comments. Is this considered a reasonable use of them?

@ Maproom: @ Arch dude: Thanks both—I'll keep the references and delete the content, I think. (Ironically, the citations that are there aren't the ones the content is based on, either! I have found those, though.) Musiconeologist ( talk) 21:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Michel Roux was a chef - his nephew Michel_Roux_Jr. is also a chef - he used the jr. to seperate himself from his Uncle - it's not part of his name. Reading an Article in The London Times - he's now dropped the jr and just goes by Michel Roux. ... so how where would a moved article be called?

Hello all! I have Twinkle set up to automatically add any page I edit with Twinkle to my watchlist for 7 days. I would like to do this for non-Twinkle edits as well, but the only option I see in my preferences is to add any pages I edit to my watchlist permanently, which I don't want. Is there a way to change the default watchlist duration, or am I stuck watchlisting for 7 days manually? Squeakachu ( talk) 22:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
