Is there a protocol for this? How do I know who the original author is? How do I contact them to discuss the changes I would like to make? Unimech ( talk) 03:33, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi, If you have any job regarding content creation then I am interested. Pl consider. 39.52.29.155 ( talk) 04:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Dear Sir or Madam, A notice came up asking for donations towards wikipedia. Is there bank details where I can walk into a bank and just credit £2 as and when I like? This is much easier than using a card for me. Also it retains my id. 2A02:C7E:3922:6F00:D976:56B:19C9:A493 ( talk) 05:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate for me to create a wikipedia page dedicated to useful links to Turkish botany, covering web pages, forums, PDFs, books etc (books would provide a google search for the ISBN). The advantage of being on wikipedia would be that it is long-lasting and others could jointly add things, and the Flora of Turkey webpage could usefully provide a link to it.

For a bibliography on a topic to be notable, the members of that bibliography should be discussed as a group in reliable sources. This discussion may take the form of a published standalone bibliography on the topic, a bibliography in a published reliable source on the topic or recommendations for further reading on the topic published in a reliable source on the topic.So if I were you I'd try to find other sources which have themselves discuss sources on Turkish botany. I would also consider "Bibliography of Anatolian plants"; it might be that botanical sources consider peninsulas moreso than national borders. Umimmak ( talk) 15:23, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi my boss is Zain Verjee and ive been trying to update her Wiki page with her wanted changes but the whole page keeps reverting to an older version and now im locked out from being able to edit the page - I've never edited a wiki page before so clearly I did it wrong but I dont know what to do now.

When looking through the new users page, I found the article Southern Regional College had been recently edited by the user User:Wrightj797, and it seemed to be from the colleges point of view. As they did remove vandalism, I believe this to be in good faith, but I'm not sure what to do about it. What template should I use, and how should I notify the user?
I ask this as I am trying to learn more about how to use Wikipedia, including editing and creating an inclusive space for newcomers. (Some might consider me a newcomer, but I'm always trying to learn)

I have correctly added relative (P1038) and sibling (P3373) on Giorgio Pustetto (Q69154523), Carlo D’Alpaos (Q69152719) and Andrea D'Alpaos (Q3615652)? 2001:B07:6442:8903:5453:E7A2:6794:8630 ( talk) 16:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, for some years ago I added several entries to Wikipedia, since then I have only very occasionally done anything at all. But today I see that I no longer have an account, which surprises me. It also annoys me be cause in the last couple of years I've donated to Wikipedia. So is there anyone I can contact to resolve this issue? Thank you for your help.

I've been trying to get link colours I can comfortably read in the new Vector, but my CSS skills are almost nonexistent. So far I have
a:link {color: #3162C4;}
a:visited {color: #24478F;}
a:new {color: #CD0000;}
This does not display disambiguation pages in orange, nor nonexisting pages in red until after I've visited them.
Anybody knows how to fix this? Many thanks :). —Femke 🐦 ( talk) 18:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
.classname
. Pseudo-classes (such as "visited" or "active") are set using :pseudoclass
.
a
is used to select links to existing unvisited pages.a:visited
is used to select links to existing visited pages.a.new
is used to select links to non-existing pages (red links).a.mw-disambig
is used to select disambiguation links.a { color: blue;

}a.new { color: red;
}a.mw-disambig { color: orange;
}:new
pseudoclass. a:link
already describes links that haven't been visited yet. If you're still editing your personal CSS, you can try editing the class mw-disambig
instead. —

a:mw-disambig {color: #f17600;}
in
my CSS, but that doesn't work either (I had hoped that the setting in Gadgets would still work).

I edited. I stand by my edit as I have used this many times in the last 15 years. However, now it is no longer free if you actually want to actually use it. Which is fine, but I know that I have also paid numerous times over the years for premium services on old computers. I would like my IP address removed, and I would like to keep my edit. I just newly signed in. How do I do this? Solophilia ( talk) 18:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Can you fix the reference error i made please. 98.186.55.18 ( talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
