How do I "archive" or "file" my own user talk page? Looked for it on the FAQ searchbox and nothing relevant popped up. - Joaquin89uy ( talk) 03:29, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I found an Creative Commons image of Nick Lutsko on Flickr that is clearer than and, in my opinion, looks better than the current one. The current image was taken only a few months ago and the clearer image was taken in 2015. Which one would be better to have on the article? Owcs ( talk) 04:30, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
for those of us who don't want to edit your page but found that something is missing, should we just give you the page and note what should be either edited or added?
for instance, Memphis Tennessee has a list of museums, but it does not include one of the best ones that is a draw for me and many who appreciate the history of and beauty of metal that is the Metal Museum, for more information look at this https://www.metalmuseum.org/
Just an important over-site in my mind. 2600:1700:3A40:1400:EC28:2923:CEDE:CBA3 ( talk) 06:37, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, just joined Wikipedia to right a wrong that's been bugging me for years. The Alitalia 112 crash has a page in English that documents the crash and investigation which is fine.
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volo_Alitalia_112
But the Italian page suggests a conspiracy theory explanation that is was shot down by NATO and has a photograph as evidence which is presented as factual.
https://it.wikipedia.org/?title=Volo_Alitalia_112&veaction=edit§ion=2
However, the photo quite clearly shows blunt impact damage due to the leading edge of the wing impacting objects at high speed - the ground, rocks, trees on crashing. Multiple photos exist of similar damage to wing leading edges caused by impact with trees, chimneys, telegraph poles and large birds. Also multiple photos exist of battle damaged aircraft showing damage caused by 20mm cannon/smaller calibre bullets. There is an obvious and clear difference - namely bullets/shells pierce and explode causing multiple small and sharp entries whilst impacting objects cause large dents and deformation of metal.
How would I go about editing that? Delete the photo? Leave the photo with an explanation?
Many thanks,
Morgan

A small table of contents shows up in the middle of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, and I can't figure out why. I tried adding _NOTOC_ as a solution, but that didn't do anything. Clarityfiend ( talk) 08:55, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm working on an article where the subject seems to be an alumnus from a certain school. I couldn't find any independent sources other than some social media posts.
Can I use this source [1] as per WP: TWITTER. It's not promotional and is from the official handle of the school itself.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rejoy2003 ( talk • contribs)
How many articles are contained within the entire category tree of Category:Controversies? How many are both in the Controversies tree and in Category:Living people? (I would use the WP:PETSCAN tool for this, but it isn't working properly for me right now.) gnu 57 15:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I am trying to cite the German Residence Act using Template:Cite act, but I am having trouble understanding some of the parameters and what I should put in them. I've been trying to cite it for long enough to realize that I was not making any progress, I've come here to see if anyone with more experience with the cite act template could help me with this predicament and cite it for me. It would be greatly appreciated to anyone that has the spare time to help me as I know citing takes a bit of time! Treetoes023 ( talk) 16:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
How do I suggest updates for already-established entries? I have made several edits myself, but I'd like to make suggestions as well.
For example, the extensive entry on C.J. Cregg, a fictional character on the US television series The West Wing played by Allison Janney, devotes a section to her romantic attachments. It mentions two, but omits a number of others that also figured in the script. An expert on the show is in a better position to find the episodes, and to make the judgment on including them.
This kind of thing occurs often. It does make me wonder why biographies of performers, who presumably have social media managers to update their online profiles, sometimes do not include certain well-known roles. I fix them sometimes, but maybe there's an ethical issue I've not thought of.
Your advice would be appreciated. Frazierdp ( talk) 18:43, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Looking to provide the real reason for Durani's death Its found in many Sikh books I can provide their refrences but this point I am providing the Sikhwiki refrence On Ahmad Shah's death in 1772 of the cancerous wound said to have been caused on his nose by a flying piece of brick when the Harimandar Sahib was destroyed with gunpowder, his empire roughly extended from the Oxus to the Indus and from Tibet to Khurasan. It embraced Kashmir, Peshawar, Multan, Sindh, Baluchistan, Khurasan, Herat, Qandahar, Kabul and Balkh.
