I would like to provide additional information to some of my timelines articles but the information would come from books and not from the internet. I want to state as a reference that this information has come from a book but I would not know how to go about it. Also are references from books acceptable for Wikipedia?

I've been blocked by admin Bishonen, backed up by three collegues, - without warning (!) - unlimited (!) - without having done harm to any article (!) - in spite of decennia of fruitful edits with many thanks (not all reproducable because of ip-changes by providers in many, many years, - without having insulted anybody, - simply because I didn't login every time - misinterpreted as "socketpuppetry, and - am not able to follow every discussion ad infinitum - misinterpreted as "failure to communicate", - without a concrete hint of what is concretely expected beyond all I tried. I would regard that as a severe misuse of power. Hans J. Holm 2A02:8108:9640:1A68:850E:FDF0:59BE:BB49 ( talk) 09:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
I was editing wikipage https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinig%C5%B3_muziejus, but I've been blocked (my username is Behemoth1985) and I don't understand reason why... The reason I'm editing itz, its because I'm working at that institution (which is Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania) and we decided to renew information. Text is taken from the official website pinigumuziejus.lt. Photos are made by me, so I really want to do it. 81.29.24.172 ( talk) 12:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
When entering text into the Editing Summary field of a newly-edited article, a drop-down list appears of past contents of the field, depending upon what I've typed so far. I want to clear out those suggestions, which I'll mostly never use again. How do I do that? -- Doktor Züm ( talk) 13:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, in January there were helpful links posted somewhere on en-WP how the evil 2023 interface could be disabled. I did so, and also remember to have changed my global settings. Except that the global settings were seemingly reversed at some point, and I cannot find them anymore. Please help; I definitely need interwiki capabilities. -- Enyavar ( talk) 16:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
I've got a four-column table that starts like this:
The "colspan=2" separates the date into two columns: the month-day and the year. (These two columns have no separate label, and fine).
I want to make the month-day column a little wider (but not at the expense of the year column, rather at the expense of the Speech column, or possibly the Place column. How. Herostratus ( talk) 18:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
instead of a normal space between month and day.

In the article "Romanian Cyrillic alphabet" it shows squares where an old Cyrillic character should be. Has something to do with Unicode. What must I do? 195.74.226.120 ( talk) 20:42, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi Folks!! How you link to wikisource which is in the translation namespace. Is it transparent? Its for the Second law on the status of Jews. Its this [2] scope_creep Talk 20:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
I don't see why you couldn't just use the normal template. You can pipe the link using the second parameter if that concerns you. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 21:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Why, in this paragraph, are these signs present (they look like wikilinks, but they are not)? [1] e [2]? "In the last part of Jám Nindó's reign, after 1490 CE, a Mughul army under Shah Beg Arghun came from Kandahar and fell upon many villages of Chundooha and Sideejuh, invading the town of Ágrí, Ohándukah, Sibi Sindichah and Kót Máchián. Jám Nindó sent a large army under his Vazier Darya Khan[1], which, arriving at the village known by the name of Duruh-i-Kureeb, also known as Joolow Geer or Halúkhar near Sibi, defeated the Mughuls in a pitched battle. Sháh Beg Arghun's brother Abú Muhammad Mirzá was killed in the battle, and the Mughuls fled back to Kandahár, never to return during the reign of Jám Nizámuddín[2]."
