why is my edit not updating? --Peterblunden (talk) 01:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Peterblunden: You should not edit articles about yourself, as you have a conflict of interest on that topic. Consider requesting updates on Talk:Peter Blunden with {{t|Edit COI}}. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 01:44, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello. My real purpose for contacting Wikipedia was to contribute a new article. In editing, I assume the edits are limited to style, format, spelling and the editor should not modify the subject matter. What if the editor knows of another article on the same subject that conflicts with or augments the article's subject? --Elpremo (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Elpremo: There are many ways to contribute to Wikipedia, including the ones you mentioned. Wikis are meant to be edited boldly, but you shouldn't go overboard. If you see some conflicting information between articles, leave a message on one of the articles' talk pages explaining the issue. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 22:20, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Ideateightbits: To add links, you use [(url) (comment)], where "url" is the URL of the document without spaces, and "comment" is what will be displayed as the link text (which can contain spaces) Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 03:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello. May I ask how do you make drop-down page(s) in an article? Like those which you click on an arrow pointing down and it reveals a long paragraph? I want a drop down PAGE not a drop down LIST by the way. thank you. --Optheia (talk) 23:47, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Optheia: To create a collapsible section in a page, you surround the text with {{t|Collapse top}} and {{t|Collapse bottom}}{{cot|Click "show"}}Like that{{cob}}

However, you shouldn't use these templates in articles. They are designed for discussions, such as collapsing walls of text and off-topic comments.

Hi there, Thanks for being my mentor and sorry to disturb you, I can imagine you being quite busy helping others as well.

I was trying to make some changes to a semi-protected page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arshdeep_Singh_(cricketer) I am a big cricket fan and have a lot of cricketing knowledge. Was going through this page and discovered some valuable information missing. Tried connecting with some editors through WikiProject cricket and one of them said that I should make the necessary edits myself. All the additions I am suggesting are easily verifiable and are backed up with proper links and references. (You can see the talk section of the above page for details). I am quite new to the whole thing and would much appreciate some guidance please. Thanks very much, Zex --Zex777 (talk) 05:15, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Zex777: I would suggest adding those facts to #International career, and filling out {{t|cite web}} and {{t|cite news}} with information related to your sources. For example, you can append "Singh was declared ICC Men's T20 cricketer of the year 2024 {{cite web |title=India star named ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year |date=2025-01-25 |site=International Cricket Council |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/india-star-named-icc-men-s-t20i-cricketer-of-the-year-x4918}}" to the section. Also, please do not put {{t|Edit semi-protected}} in the section header, as it makes it way too long. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 05:33, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks very much, have republished the suggested edits in the recommended format (not sure if I need to delete the previous message now or leave it as it is) --Zex777 (talk) 06:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Iwant to add my photo on my profils --Abdallah Kulandana (talk) 16:32, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Abdallah Kulandana: I wouldn't recommend uploading personal photos without encyclopedic value, as they will be quickly deleted. To upload photos that DO have encyclopedic value, see c:Special:UploadWizard. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 19:37, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, what's the etiquette when it comes to talk pages? Are they treated as a part of the Article proper? And where do I properly raise bias concerns with other editors? --Atemperature (talk) 11:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
