Draft:Matka (film)

Hi @Ca, I Hope you’re well. Can you review this draft page Draft:Matka (film).Thankyou. MySlack1222 (talk) 16:15, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you please look into this @Ca? MySlack1222 (talk) 05:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't remember ever reviewing or editing this draft. Is there any reason you want me to review in particular? Ca ^{talk to me!} 06:11, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Nothing in particular, I’m just Requesting you to review this draft. MySlack1222 (talk) 06:13, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Sure, I have reviewed the draft. Ca ^{talk to me!} 06:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Trout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Trouted because your edit summary is in Spanish, likely by mistake BombCraft8 ^{(talk) (contributions)} 13:39, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I forgot the Wikipedia mobile app auto-adds undo revert summaries XD Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Unalive

Hello, Ca. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Unalive".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Dodecathorpe (15:14, 19 October 2024)

The article Sultanpur Lodhi --Dodecathorpe (talk) 15:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, what about the article? I see that you are trying to improve it. Ca ^{talk to me!} 15:16, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I hadn't used the ask mentor functionality from the Homepage before, so I thought it was just a topic header. The article appears to contain masses of information, but only has three sources. A quick check suggests a couple of sources for the remainder of the information:

• Medieval History: This matches https://kapurthala.gov.in/sultanpur-lodhi/, except for the ending & a bit near the beginning that I rewrote (as Triserif).
• Places matches https://kapurthala.gov.in/sultanpur-lodhi-places

There are a couple more, but I can't recall at the moment. I'll add them in a reply as soon as I remember. Anyways, my question is: are these sources reliable? A check on the Wayback Machine suggests that the information has been there since the oldest save of the site, which is still less time than it's been on Wikipedia. Dodecathorpe (talk) 17:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Dodecathorpe Sorry for the late response. Since it is a official local government source, and it seems to be updated often, I will presume it is reliable for basic facts. However, I don't think it is the highest quality source since we don't have info on its author or the website's editorial practices. I recommend finding more scholarly sources in place of these sources. WP:RSN is a noticeboard where you can discuss further reliability inquiries. Ca ^{talk to me!} 15:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Dodecathorpe (talk) 13:30, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks...

Question from LindaLouise18 (11:22, 23 October 2024)

I am having trouble editing. It says that I am blocked. What does that mean? --LindaLouise18 (talk) 11:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, if you can edit this page, you are not blocked. Some blocks on IP addresses even prevent logged-in users from editing. This is done to prevent abuse from other troublemakers who use that IP address. If this is a chronic problem and you can't find another IP address to edit under, see WP:IPBE.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Ok, there's modesty and then there's excessive modesty. C'mon. -- asilvering (talk) 23:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I guess it's time to update that. Two year earlier I had a WP:GOCE member give up on my article Charles Brenton Fisk because it was "out of their skill level". But my English have improved since then. :D Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Ouch, haha. Well, I wouldn't have guessed! I suspect my English have improved may even be the first non-native-like error I've seen you make. (If that wasn't a joke, I'm so sorry for cursing you.) -- asilvering (talk) 00:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

sdfnlakjs; Ca ^{talk to me!} 07:01, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I should clarify: I just thought it was ironic that I made a blunder as I commended myself for my English improvement. But no offense was taken! Ca ^{talk to me!} 04:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

That's how I read you, no worries. -- asilvering (talk) 11:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Error rate

Hello Ca, 25/1000 is 2.5%, not 0.025%. Also I think your admin election comment was past the discussion deadline and someone may remove it soon. starship.paint (talk / cont) 01:33, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I've fixed the error—I tend to make silly mistakes when I had not had a good night's sleep ;;
