Hello, I signed up to make some corrections and edits to the AEYE Health page, as stated on my user page. Do you suggest to directly implement the changes (clearly specifying, where possible, that I am being compensated for this service), or should I propose the changes on the article's talk page first? Thanks in advance :) --Dirindalex1988 (talk) 14:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dirindalex1988. Yes, you should propose edits on the article's talk page. Add the {{COI edit request}} template to the top of your proposed changes so a reviewer can double-check them. C F A 04:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks a lot! Dirindalex1988 (talk) 09:30, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where do I practice edit --Stumbleannnn (talk) 23:22, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stumbleannnn. You can use the Wikipedia sandbox to test editing. The best way to practice is to get out there and start improving articles. Happy editing! C F A 04:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank yo!! hi it's me (talk) 04:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At least you gave an explanation, even if it is just one word. Plasticwonder (talk) 04:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is my signature not working in markup?? I have it on markup mode --{{SUBST:box|Stumbleannnn!}} Talk to me 19:23, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Stumbleannnn: It's not working because you're using | instead of the actual vertical bar character (|). It will not subst without the vertical bar. C F A 21:15, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i will upload a file bc if I add real pipe it breaks I will show you {{SUBST:box|Stumbleannnn!}} Talk to me 00:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nvm I can't

When i use pipe it says "retired html class: div" and "you must have one line of wikitext' {{SUBST:box|Stumbleannnn!}} Talk to me 00:42, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

idk if it's a mobile issue {{SUBST:box|Stumbleannnn!}} Talk to me 00:43, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try the app {{SUBST:box|Stumbleannnn!}} Talk to me 00:44, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This works just fine: {{subst:box|[[User:Stumbleannnn|Stumbleannnn!]]}} - UtherSRG (talk) 12:22, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Stumbleannnn: You could also add the border using plain HTML: <span style="border-width:2px; border-style:solid; border-color:black; padding:4px">[[User:Stumbleannnn|Stumbleannnn!]]</span>. I think {{box}} is too complicated for signatures. C F A 16:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay! Thanks! Stumbleannnn! Talk to me 20:48, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I wanted it filled in (with white) but I'm not too well versed in html. Stumbleannnn! Talk to me 20:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mr. Alpha, I have a Hindi dictionary that might be helpful for replacing English words (written in the Devanagari script) for something more familiar to the Hindi Wikipedia audience and therefore better their understanding of a concept. So I was wondering if could do that? Thanks :) --IndicArya (talk) 01:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Am i going a little overboard on my userpage? I have found many new templates and are using them alot --Stumbleannnn! Talk to me 05:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone will care about what you have on your userpage as long as you are editing the encyclopedia constructively. If all you do is edit your userpage and never touch an article, someone might complain. C F A 16:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, CFA! I would like your opinion on our discussion about whether Grand Biniverse should have a standalone article. You can find the discussion here: Biniverse § Clarification regarding succeeding concerts as part of the tour.

To provide some context, Biniverse is a concert tour by the Filipino girl group Bini, and Grand Biniverse is a solo concert by Bini as well. The term Biniverse has existed long before this tour, dating back to Bini's debut era. However, some editors are claiming that Grand Biniverse is part of the Biniverse tour, which I strongly disagree with. (Unfortunately, I can't locate the discussion where this claim originated.) Although, it shares the same name as Biniverse, Grand Biniverse is a way different type of concert which is a solo concert, meaning it is a one time only performance. On the other hand, the upcoming Grand Biniverse: Valentine Repeat is also a distinct concert."

Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN's Head of Entertainment Production, clarified in a tweet on July 6, 2024, that Grand Biniverse was a new show and distinct from the previous shows. You can see the tweet here: [1].

So what do you think, it is need to be a separate article on this? --Royiswariii Talk! 04:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Royiswariii. There is no requirement that topics have to be explicitly distinct in order to create separate articles. WP:SPLITTING has some advice on the matter: In some cases, refactoring an article into child or sister articles can allow subtopics to be discussed more fully elsewhere ... but only if the new articles are themselves sufficiently notable to be included in the encyclopedia. Ultimately whether to split subtopics out is an editorial decision that should be worked out on the talk page. One relevant guideline is WP:PAGEDECIDE, which says: the decision should always be based upon specific considerations about how to make the topic understandable, and not merely upon personal likes or dislikes (emphasis mine). There are a few things you should consider, including size, notability, the amount of coverage, and whether reliable sources discuss them separately. I haven't looked into this specific case as I'm not familiar with the topic at all, but hopefully some of the links I've given you will help. Happy editing, C F A 02:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for identifying copyright issues. I found additional copyright violation from the same source tracing back to 2010 in Basohli (town), so I deleted the violating text and increased the revdel. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
You're receiving this message because you are a new page patroller. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hello CFA -- I declined this because there were clear claims about the subject's career in ballet sufficient to meet the low threshold of A7; subsequently dropping the name in Proquest/Ebsco comes up with quite a few substantive hits in specialist press, and I think it's possible that the subject may actually be notable. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting — I'll take a closer look. Thanks for letting me know. C F A 16:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering if you're still offering the new page patroller training! I am interested in helping to clear the big backlog that is piling up, and I have recently (since 6 months ago) been more active since I've been having more time. Artwhitemaster (talk) 07:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Artwhitemaster. Sure. I'll have your training page ready for you by the end of the week. C F A 16:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CFA, back again! Could you take a look at Jennifer Cook? At the moment, the article refers to a healthcare executive, but I feel that the author might be the primary topic, given her recurring appearances on Love on the Spectrum. If not, then I'd recommend another disambiguation page. APM (talk) 11:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
