here is a screenshot but I guess you also need to see the screenshot from an iOS/ipadOS device to replicate the problem: https://ibb.co/tM6xhDN original page Epidemiology of obesity

thanks a lot. Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 16:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adenosine Triphosphate! Based on your global.css page, it doesn't look like you're using my dark theme, but rather DavidL's – you'll want to contact them instead. It doesn't look like mine has this issue. Tollens (talk) 18:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

apologies, i got the two confused. i thought i had the right one going back and forth on my phone. thanks, will get back to david! Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 20:09, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tollens!

I made an anonymous addition to "Sail" yesterday, under "Material", adding a reference to Viking wool sails, but I don't see it today. Can you explain what happened?

Never mind, I see how it was re-incorporated slightly differently. --Hseltman (talk) 19:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know a whole lot of them but I had gotten an Amber Alert about this when it happened and the way the murder happened. The fact that dumb people called 911 to complain about the Amber Alert waking them up afterwards made me think this is notable enough to have an article. 142.113.207.182 (talk) 15:21, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NEVENT is the guideline on notability criteria for events, including homicides – the main thing to keep in mind is the requirement either for very widespread coverage of the event (geographically speaking), or lasting coverage of the event over time. I don't know anything at all about this event so I'm not able to very easily tell you one way or the other, but if you believe the event meets NEVENT feel free to submit a draft article for review.

Hello how do I create my page? --Abner Semshak Gowok (talk) 17:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Abner Semshak Gowok: It looks like you've figured this out, you appear to have a user page. If you still need help please do let me know. Tollens (talk) 20:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello how can I create citation --Abner Semshak Gowok (talk) 20:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Abner Semshak Gowok: The page Help:Referencing for beginners has an excellent guide. Tollens (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I want to add a large table to a page, where all of the details come from the same website, which is already used as a citation on the same page. What's the best way to mark that it is cited? --GracefulEase (talk) 23:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@

caption for the table and then include the citation at the end of that caption. Alternatively, if the table has a sentence right before it that explains what the table is, you could include it there instead. Tollens (talk) 00:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Where does picture go? --Shamere31 (talk) 22:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@

inclusion criteria, someone else will probably make an article about you eventually. For more information please see Wikipedia:Autobiography. Tollens (talk) 22:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

No worries about lots of requests, but perhaps post here, or on my talk page for any further administrative actions to take that don't directly involve that other user. As for move protection, it is currently move protected and requires autoconfirmed or extended confirmed. There's something fishy going on here. I am not familiar with what led to the current move protection so I'll ask the protecting admin.

@Favonian: Can you have a look at Cliff Cash? You move protected this for some reason related to sockpuppetry. The article got moved to draft by user:XyreneRed who was able to do it by beelining to autoconfirmed with a series of short description edits. Curiously, that user account was created Dec 3, 2021 and only made a single edit to their user page one year later and has been dormant until now whereupon they immediately futzed around with the Cliff Cash page. That seems rather odd. -- Whpq (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

XyreneRed (not pinged) is indeed a sockpuppet, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Liamb2011. Tollens (talk) 01:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why the account was dormant so long. Doesn't really matter though, I suppose. It's certainly the same person behind the account – only editing from the iOS app, same pattern of trying to edit Cliff Cash and now Kristen Hanby (User:XyreneRed/sandbox). Tollens (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Whpq: Kristen Hanby has just been moved to article space. Tollens (talk) 01:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User now blocked. Tollens (talk) 01:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Liz has temporarily upgraded the move protection on Cliff Cash and salted Kristen Hanby (thank you!). This looks like it has all been dealt with now, hopefully. Tollens (talk) 10:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a lot has happened since I was last on. Thanks to all for taking care of this. -- Whpq (talk) 11:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how can i make kaimla article semi-protected for me --Pirate dzns (talk) 10:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pirate dzns: The whole reason it is extended-confirmed protected in this case is so that you cannot edit it during the dispute that you're involved in right now. You are welcome to discuss on the talk page to attempt to reach consensus for your change. Tollens (talk) 22:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
