AlphaBetaGamma I only noticed after I checked into Huggle today and noticed I dream of horses updated it a week ago, so I decided to update it again. I think Lego has been notified, but nothing has been done quite yet. Thanks! Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 01:15, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes.

Question from Darealturkfork (18:34, 2 November 2024)

how do i create a new article? --Darealturkfork (talk) 18:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Darealturkfork (talk page watcher) You should go through the tutorials on Special:Homepage first. Then you create a draft through the article wizard. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 20:38, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding image attribution

Hi, how do I use images that have a CC BY-SA 4.0 license? If I understand the policy correctly, do I have add the author's name and license in the image's thumbnail? Thank you. Sam Tabatabai (talk) 19:39, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Tabatabai (talk page watcher) You don't have to do that, since people can click the image and see the author's name and license there. You just link it by typing [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Other parameters here]]. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 20:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. Sam Tabatabai (talk) 20:53, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Hot Dog Wars

I appreciate your note. However I have attempted repeatedly to engage on the talk page. The very first time I made the change I noted it on the talk page.

However the person reverting my edits refuses to engage. You can readily verify that from the talk page. So I don't understand how I am the one being warned here?

From my POV I made a reasonable and well-justified change. The person repeatedly reverting that change without offering any justification for doing so has created this edit war. And I believe that they have done so deliberately so that they can use their greater knowledge of Wikip processes to impose their viewpoint rather than actually arguing their case, e.g. by reporting me for edit warring.

So my polite request would be that you ask the other editor to also engage on the talk page. Czetie (talk) 09:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Czetie: You have clearly not made a reasonable effort, as you've repeatedly accused me of vandalism, using misleading edit summaries, edit warring, and removing well sourced, contextually relevant content that's sourced to reliable sources and shows significant coverage of the subject just because you don't like it. You're ignoring the standard practice of reverting to the WP:STATUSQUO during a dispute, and you've accused another long time editor of being me on another account. All of this is entirely inappropriate. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from CG Writer11 (09:55, 7 November 2024)

Hiii, thank you for being my mentor :). I got my first article declined and I just made the resubmission. Is it possible to get some feedback of you about my resubmission, if you think that is ok or if I have done everything right? many, many thanks --CG Writer11 (talk) 09:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CG Writer11, hello, I took a quick look at your draft, it seems you rely on a single source, such as WP:PRIMARY sources. What we also need are reliable sources, such as news articles that are third party, that don't have a connection to the subject, and are subject to rigorous fact-checking. See WP:RSPSS for a list of sources that can help tell you if a source you want to use is reliable or not. Hope this helps. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 02:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting a sockpuppet

Hi,Sir A sockpuppet is constantly putting unsourced content on the wikipage Uddhav Thackeray,After removing his unsourced edits,he is harassing me on my talk page. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/117.228.176.138 )

Regards Io5678 (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Io5678 (talk page watcher) Yoshi is not an adminstrator, and so can't block anyone, or protect a page from being edited by logged out edtiors. He can give advice, but not much else. You can contact a recently active admin by selecting "admin" here. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
