Question from Esmarie7a on User:Esmarie7a (14:32, 19 May 2024)

Hello! Please tell me how to insert my photo --Esmarie7a (talk) 14:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The best place to look at is Help:Uploading images which explains the process in detail. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:47, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Lee Rech (22:29, 25 May 2024)

Hi - why can't I access the Visual Editor? It appears when I login that I only have access to Editor Source - much harder for me to use. I will be updating the Crystal Bayat page from time to time, and would really like to use Visual Editor. --Lee Rech (talk) 22:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't heard of any problems accessing Visual Editor. The best place to ask would be the technical village pump. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:47, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Musajjaakawa Martin on User:Musajjaakawa Martin/sandbox (18:01, 4 June 2024)

How do I create information about someone --Musajjaakawa Martin (talk) 18:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Great Investor on United Bank for Africa (18:42, 9 June 2024)

What is my benefits for publishing article on Wikipedia --Great Investor (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There aren't really any; indeed there are several drawbacks. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sharnadd (10:41, 25 June 2024)

Hi there is an incorrect piece of information on a Wikipedia page but if you edit it and explain why it was incorrect one editor removes it. They do not disagree that it is incorrect but state it being corrected would whitewash and give credit to imperialistic colonizers. It's about the origins of an item of food. I have tried to explain that using the historical facts does not take away the later contributions of others but this editor does not the page corrected. Is there a way to complain. --Sharnadd (talk) 10:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both you and Oknazevad are edit warring on the Fried chicken article. If either of you reverts again, we might have to block that editor from changing the article to stop disruption.

The best thing to do is to start a discussion on Talk:Fried chicken explaining your reasons for removing the information, and see who agrees and what consensus, if any, plays out. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:45, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sharnadd's edits constitute plain vandalism. First he insisted on changing the country of origin in the infobox despite the origin being well sourced in the article itself, and then when that was reverted he just deleted the parameter entirely. Basically, his way (which does not accurately represent the article contents at all) or nothing.

Frankly, some of this issue comes from the article title being too generic and ambiguous, and not being at southern fried chicken. oknazevad (talk) 11:33, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not vandalism, which is deliberate and malicious editing. Any disruptive editing such as this, is not if it can be shown that each editor is making their edits with the aim of improving Wikipedia. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

And be happy that you are still considerably younger than I am! --Tryptofish (talk) 22:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Limyoli makalima on Help:Getting started (22:09, 4 July 2024)

Hello can you help me --Limyoli makalima (talk) 22:09, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you need help with? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AnnaLanuza (07:48, 6 July 2024)

Hi, I hope you are doing great. I wasn't aware that uploading my image on my personal account was a violation. I don't fully understand how this works since other users like Liz, the who flagged my profile, also has her picture posted. Please accept my apologies, and I would appreciate any advice you may have for me, thank you.

Question from Mozahid Bin Mahbub on Suzanne Collins (11:08, 12 July 2024)

Hello....I am Mozahid Bin Mahbub --Mozahid Bin Mahbub (talk) 11:08, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keir

Alright, Ritchie, I hope you're well! FYI I fiddled with your Keir :) it occurred to me that he looked a bit superimposed on the box, just using generic red. Obvs can't use a flat red from within the image because there's different hues. But by taking the main colour from each side it looks like his image is part of the box... kind of emerging from it? Also (added later), one where I removed KS from his background completely so he can sit on top of our box's red background. Anyway it's back how you left it. cheers! ——Serial Number 54129 14:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or with gradients! Hello Ritchie

DanCherek (talk) 15:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good one DanCherek! How about a "long" gradient that runs from near-bottom left to top right of our long box, kind of mirroring the two shades of red behind the chap already? ——Serial Number 54129 16:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I just realized that it looked perfect on my screen but as soon as you look at it from a browser of a different size, it doesn't line up. This isn't unreasonable but your extracted Keir probably works best with any background. DanCherek (talk) 16:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
