March 20[edit]

Lewis Carroll[edit]

This should be the URL for reference number 95 (which in "red" and wrong) https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/2017889 Please repair if you are able - I cannot. Thank you 115.70.23.77 (talk) 00:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The redlinks are due to wikilinks to articles that don't exist yet. That's not an error, if there is a chance those articles will be created. RudolfRed (talk) 00:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed one redlink. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:REDLINK. Polygnotus (talk) 09:11, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How i can publish my article on wikipedia?[edit]

Hello can anyone tell me how can I publish my information about flagle unlimited on wikipedia Islamjad (talk) 00:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By basing Draft:Flagle Unlimited on what Wikipedia classes as reliable sources and writing the draft in accordance with a number of policies. In particular, divulging any conflict of interest that you may have. So, let's start. Here, in this message thread, please provide links to three reliable sources, independent of each other and of course also independent of the producer of this game. -- Hoary (talk) 00:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Islamjad. I recommend that you read Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Cullen328 (talk) 05:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding information from video game's credits[edit]

I was to add Sascha Dikiciyan as the composer to the infobox of Wild 9, but @Sergecross73 recommended this information must be properly sourced as the game is obscure. Dikiciyan is credited as his alias "Sonic Mayhem" in the game's credits, so I'd like to cite this as reference directly. What's the correct format and template to do this? Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 08:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Emiya Mulzomdao: Hello! I've added sources for both (the websites of the artists listed these games as projects they worked on). You could look at Help:Referencing for beginners and WP:CITE; if you have any further questions feel free to return here and ask them. Polygnotus (talk) 08:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Sergecross73 msg me 11:11, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning template for reverting editor[edit]

Hi, I noticed that @Melvin Hudson has been constantly reverting other editors' edits, and most of the reverted content seems fine. Which warning template should I use to inform him about his actions? Thanks. CanonNi (talk) 08:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think warning templates are appropriate in this case. Warning templates have a habit of making things worse. It is probably better to ask an experienced and tactful ~~moderator~~ administrator to take a look. Polygnotus (talk) 09:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not have 'moderators'. AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:12, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad.

Fixed Polygnotus (talk) 09:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Also, thanks for fixing that typo on my user page! CanonNi (talk) 09:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting users from edit filter[edit]

While watching the edit filter log, i sometimes see users (or ips) trying to vandalize over and over but getting disallowed.
If they continue to do so after getting a level 4 warning, should i report them to AIV? begocc ^questions? 10:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Begocc, the answer is "yes". Cullen328 (talk) 15:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
