Please place the Wilton crest INSIDE at the top of the info box - where (like other peerage pages) it belongs. I have tried but cannot do this. Thank you 2001:4479:6903:5A00:C5B8:D45F:EF7F:C0C6 ( talk) 00:10, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
This says that in the lead sentence of an article, the boldface reiteration of the article's title that mostly begins the first sentence - for example, as in "Sarde in saor are an appetizer etc" in the article titled "Sarde in saor" - should not contain any links. Can someone confirm that this includes foreign-language links such as {{lang-it|...}}? Sarde in saor doesn't do this, but cf for example Colatura di alici, which does. Before I take this further I want to double-check that linking in this way is wrong. Thanks, Ingratis ( talk) 11:15, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I'm new to editing Wikipedia and want to make sure I'm adding references correctly to my articles. What is the best way to cite sources and add references to ensure they meet Wikipedia's guidelines? Are there any tools or templates that can help streamline this process? Thanks for your assistance!

In the Final Years and Tribute section for Dominick Dunne, there is a timeline discrepancy. It states that "On September 22, 2008, Dunne complained of intense pain, and was taken by ambulance to Valley Hospital. He died on August 26, 2008."
How does one go to the hospital on September 22, 2008 when they died on August 26, 2008?
Please fix this for Mr. Dominick Dunne's page. He was my favorite Vanity Fair/True Crime writer.
In September 2008, Dunne disclosed that he was being treated for bladder cancer. At the time of his death, he was working on Too Much Money. On September 22, 2008, Dunne complained of intense pain, and was taken by ambulance to Valley Hospital. He died on August 26, 2009, at his home in Manhattan and was buried at Cove Cemetery, in the shadow of Gillette Castle in Hadlyme, Connecticut. 2601:14D:4E82:2850:AE38:7465:CBE0:15B9 ( talk) 13:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
"Spaghetti all'assassina is similar in preparation to pasta risottata (Italian: [ˈpasta rizotˈtaːta])"; we absolutely don't pronounce it like this, not with "z"; I hope that other pronunciations don't have similar errors, otherwise I will have to eliminate many of them.

Hi, I tried (for the first time) to edit this page. Unfortunately, I got hit with the
"As an anti-abuse measure, you are limited from performing this action too many times in a short space of time, and you have exceeded this limit. Please try again in a few minutes. If you are attempting to run a bot or semi-automated script, please read and understand our bot policy, then request approval. Users who run unauthorized bot scripts may lose their editing privileges."
I admit, I created this account just for this edit, because a couple of years back, on my old account, I couldn't edit anything on fr Wikipedia due to some weird error (I don't remember which one exactly, something due to IP).
What do I have to do to be able to edit?
Thanks in advance.

The actor Alec Baldwin was born in Amityville or Massapequa? In his book "Nevertheless: a memoir" he says: "I'm from 25 Greatwater Avenue in Massapequa, New York". 87.11.28.107 ( talk) 17:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
I want to update the image of the "Eternal Flame" in Sarajevo. I've uploaded my photo to Wiki commons but forgotten how to replace the main image on the right side of the Wikipedia page. Thanks. Pianistinator ( talk) 20:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
how do I add more sources? there are Many Many Articles in published magazines etc. Going back over 20 years. Sharapparazzi ( talk) 21:48, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Asking out of curiosity, what's the Wikipedia policy on copyrighted images when it comes to sandboxes? Asking because I'm thinking about creating a draft for a game that's seen recent popularity, but I'm not entirely sure if it has enough notability to be an article just yet.
