How is the best way to go about requesting a new spoken article that will get the most attention in hopes someone will create one? The written article in question already has a spoken article but it's from 2010, so obviously the article in question has changed a lot since then. As such I don't think it would fall under a spoken article request, as this seems to be for pages that don't already have a spoken version (although I may be wrong here so clarification would be helpful). Also, the original uploader has been inactive on Wikipedia and other related projects for years, so I can't ask them to make a new version, nor do I think I'm comfortable recording myself. I've asked this question on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia and Category talk:Spoken Wikipedia requests without any responses. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If there was Template:Infobox Guinea Pig and I wanted to know all of the unique values that had been given to the parameter "tail color", is there an easy way to search this? Let's say that there are more than 500 uses of the template. Ideally, I'd like to then be see that there is one with cyan and then able to tell the one article that had tail color = Cyan, but I figure the second could be done with a regex search.

BlueSpace Federal ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Odd case I came across today.
The defence industry BlueSpace seems to fail our notability guidelines for companies, but the IBM BlueSpace actually seems to pass – on a quick search it's got coverage in the NYT, The Register, ZDNet, The Globe and Mail etc.
I'd like to put the defence industry BlueSpace up for deletion but rewrite and retain the IBM BlueSpace. How should I go about doing this? I can think of two ways:

/info/en/?search=Goochland_County,_Virginia article image on right side does not show the state in either Firefox or Edge, only the highlighted county. Looks weird. Not allowed to upload an example here. Oathed ( talk) 15:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi - I've been going through recent "bad" changes lately and sometimes there's articles that get hit by a vandal over-and-over, but with different IP's. Today it's Multan Electric Power Company - an IP hopper keeps repeatedly changing the first line to stupid stuff. It gets reverted but they just do it again. What's the right thing to do here - is it AN/I or is there a more specific board to go to? BugGhost 🪲👻 15:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm trying to find a way to request an update to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's page. My office manages MIT's brand, and we've updated the MIT logo and seal designs. If one of the page owners can contact us, we can provide the updated logo and seal files. 2601:192:4D00:7F90:D4C5:BBA3:F63E:B560 ( talk) 16:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Is there a template or other way to reuse a citation, with a different quote for each instance.
{{sfn}} almost does that, but only allows for a different page number.
