Hi
Please can someone help? On mobile phone web version there is an image on an article that is overlapping the text making the website unreadable on mobile phone. So I saw a simple space between image and text fixed it. However a user claims doing that causes issues on the desktop website version. Is there anything that can be done to sort this as the last thing I want is a petty dispute. Many thanks Onshore
Hi,
There is an issue with the article titled above, when viewing on a mobile phone the rail track image overlaps all the text marking it hard to read.
I did a fix by adding a space between image and start of text but a user claims doing that affects the desktop website version, so the user rolled back my edit.
Is there a way to fix this? I have contacted the user as shown below but I’d like to fix it rather than it becoming a petty dispute.
Please can you help?
Thanks, Onshore
Hi, just noticed you have reverted edit. Please can you fix this for mobile as it's needs attending to…. Caernarfon_Railway_Line.jpg Onshore ( talk) 19:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
I was going to make a sizable donation to help fund Wiki because I am greatful for the knowledge. After reading what was said about Donald Trump I was very disappointed! Much of what was said was more opinion than fact. Hardy any of his best achievements were never listed. Only the bad or the negative. When he was critiqued after Biden was elected, no previous president has achieved many of the milestones Trump did. I’m just a democrat that wants to see an honest two sides of the coin, and this is clearly a one sided coin. Trump was not all good, but then nobody is. He just needs to be treated fairly, and without bias. If Wiki is letting other readers change and control information inputted on this site, then it needs to be vetted somehow for examples like this. By the way, I only chose to look up Donald Trump because I was told that Wiki weakens on the more controversial topics. Thought I would put your site to the test. Well, they were correct. I need information to be facts only no persona bias. This muddies the waters, and ruins the results thus making the results unusable and incorrect. Sorry Wiki, you have some house cleaning to do first before I donate to your cause. 71.78.172.38 ( talk) 22:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

The content about the history of the National Southwestern Associated University on this page is not accurate. Its site during the Second Sino-Japanese War was Yunnan University rather than the National Kunming Normal University, which was established in 1946 after the War (cf. https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/云南师范大学, 2024-02-03). - George Ho, PhD and a former student of Yunnan University. 125.238.239.9 ( talk) 16:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi. There is an ArbCom discussion with one of the main topics being the dispute resolution process. It is at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Consensus process, censorship, administrators' warnings and blocks in dispute, and responses to appeals. Your input is welcome. This notice is placed to attract objective input (whether in favor, neutral, or against) of uninvolved editors related to the interest of the dispute resolution policy page, seeking a broader reaching consensus. It is not canvassing,
In general, it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it be done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus.

Or does it? See the argument at WP:ANI#User Tonymetz posted again to my talk a month after a very clear request to never do so again Doug Weller talk 11:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
If an editor asks you not to edit their user pages, such requests should, within reason, be respected. However, editors should not make such requests lightly, especially concerning their talk pages, as doing so can impede the ordinary communication which is important for the improvement and smooth running of the project.Emphasis added. Mackensen (talk) 11:56, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
"a user cannot avoid administrator attention or notices and communications that policies or guidelines require to be posted merely by demanding their talk page not be posted to", which means that most normal comments should be allowed. For example, in this specific case Tonymetz was commenting on Fred Zepelin's conduct, which is a recommended (possibly required?) first step in WP:RUCD, so such comments should be exempt from WP:USERTALKSTOP.
in a polite, simple, and direct way ... [possibly using] several templates. And of course HARASSMENT is not tolerated.
Hello the creator of the Wikipedia page for Afghanistan has used the flag of the Taliban . Even though some people commented he/she should change it. Please edit the new flag and make it back to its original colors. Saly161616 ( talk) 10:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
There are several parts of the MoS and general best practice for Web accessibility such as MOS:DTAB, MOS:TABLECAPTION, MOS:COLHEAD, etc. that oblige us to include some things and exclude some thing to make the site semantically correct and useful for the blind (among others). I have recently edited on some pages where I have added these required accessibility features and a small group of editors have removed them with the rationale (in my interpretation) being "we don't do that" and they seem to not really care that things like table captions are required. In spite of the fact that WP:LOCALCONSENSUS is written to stop a small group of editors deciding that "we don't do [thing that is required sitewide]", I don't see what the remedy is with this small group of editors who will just remove these required accessibility features when I add them. What am I missing? What is the remedy here to get this to stop? ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 01:20, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
