DYC

What's DYK? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 03:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DYK, its a way to nominate articles that you have recently created, 5x expanded, or made to a WP:GA status. You get featured on the Main Page as well! Any of the admins that help in that field can help you further as I have never nominated an article for DYK. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 03:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from LoveStroke (01:33, 6 September 2024)

Did I code that Charley Crockett edit correctly?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Thanks --LoveStroke (talk) 01:33, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, but it looks like you tried to close it using an — and not a hyphen (normal dash). Make sure to close your tables using hyphens. As well, you put question marks where the — is supposed to go. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref list error

Hello, thanks so much for fixing the errors in the ref list for this article Geertruida de Haas-Lorentz! I was struggling with this. How did you fix the multiple target errors? Thanks!! Beaky15 (talk) 14:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability question

Hello again. I am here again because I had another question, again sorry to bother you. I had found another thesis paper but was having trouble trying to find a way to see if it had been cited academically or not. If it can be used that's great, if not then that's a bummer but I can't do much about it. One caveat to this is the paper is in Spanish. Assuming you want to take this on, thank you so much and hope you have a great day! ^[1] Captain Galaxy 14:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding One of Your Edits

Hey, sorry to bother, but I wanted to ask about one of your edits.

I noticed your edit with The Alchemist production discography in which you removed a lot of links, and I have a few issues with this.

In my view, it seems like a waste of time for the readers to manually type in all the albums, and your edit doesn't seem consistent with other hip-hop production pages such as DJ Premier production discography.

Happy to discuss this whenever your available. Cahlin29 (talk) 05:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cahlin29, I am cleaning up these articles to be able to comply with the manual of style. You can read the things that I have fixed at MOS:HEAD and MOS:PSEUDOHEAD. Section headers should not contain links or references, MOS:NOSECTIONLINKS. You can view my progress at User:Cowboygilbert/sandbox. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 05:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Cowboygilbert, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Hey man im josh (talk) 16:14, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew
