Ms Sorrenti is a worldwide troll target and her wikipedia entry is now full of references claiming she is a “Bolshevik” and a “communist” political candidate, with false sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.37.12.58 ( talk) 01:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
The article involved: Portalegre District
I wanted to change "S" to "Seats" in the section on the summary of election votes from 1976-2022. However, afterwards, it made the table unexpectedly much bigger then I expected. I believe that this will affect readability in the future. I'm now considering a table set-up like this:
I believe that using that kind of format will increase the readability, as well as will fit the flow of the article more easily.
However, I do not know how to do this. I am requesting for help on this. Thank You.

05:13, 8 September 2022 (UTC)Hello all! I was reading through Desiigner's article and noticed that there's a line in his Background information section that says he's a "Spinoff of Kanye West"; I'm wondering what exactly that means? I checked a few articles of other similar artists and couldn't find anyone else referred to as a spinoff. I understand that he has worked with Kanye quite a lot, but I don't understand what is meant by spinoff there. Was this information just added by someone that wanted to be rude or something? Should it be removed?
Thank you. ~ Tyong127 ( talk) 04:38, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
I often run into the issue that Wikipedia does not search symbols in templates, such as '|', '=', and '{' properly. One example can be seen here, where I try to search for Color box templates formatted as "{{Legend3...}}", but in addition to what I am looking for, I get a lot of results that are "| legend3 = ". How do I fix this? TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 08:07, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

21:58, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Dear Editor,
In China, we celebrate Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) for thousands of years. It has always been dedicated to celebrating the elders, and grandparents in our history. In the 1980s, the festival was set official as Seniors Day by the Chinese government. as a school, we promote it to children for showing their love and appreciation to grandparents and the seniors in our community. it is the oldest Grandparents’ day in the world. It is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar calendar. This year it falls on the 4th of October. We hope society will celebrate the special time for the grandparents and elders just like how we celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day. Hope you can add China's Grandparents Day - Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) Seniors Day to the "Grandparents Day around the World page on Wikipedia. Much appreciated.
More information about the festival can be found here: https://wenlinchineseschool.org.uk/chongyang2022.htm
The URL for the page that I refer to is: /info/en/?search=Grandparents%27_Day
I look forward to hearing from you.

Typically, I'll use Provelt to put in my references, but this time I've had an error code that I've been unable to fix. On
User:Horsegeek/Ronteza, I've been trying to input a source I found on the Wikipedia Library (which I only recently gained access to after many months of absence from the Wiki) and I'm trying to cite a journal. Multiple errors pop up, including check|url=value and Unknown parameter |month=ignored, along with {{cite journal}}
though I've already put in the link to the journal, but I'm assuming there's a different way to cite sources from the Wikipedia Library. Would anyone be able to assist me with this? Many thanks!

The article has been changed to state her birthplace to be Mayfair, it was specifically this:
On 21 April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II was born at No. 17, the London home of her maternal grandfather, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. (from Google but I have been aware of this for many years.)
The point here is that the bombed in the war address of Bruton Street was seen that she was born in a normal street like one of us, this was a perception often cited across the years, the current Mayfair reference shows her start in life in the opposite manner. Please can you correct this. 2A02:C7C:9608:DC00:651C:4DAA:F612:E444 ( talk) 19:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
