A little question
A little question. Is wales and sanger still friends?
- Definitely not, if they ever were. (Larry was an employee of Bomis while Jimmy was the boss; it's not like the two of them started Wikipedia in a garage). This is Larry's current version of events, or there's a longer version at this old Slashdot post of his. Take everything either Larry or Jimbo say with a large pinch of salt as they both have distinctly flexible relationships with the truth. ‑ Iridescent 23:52, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Path slopu. An edit you recently made to Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. PATH SLOPU 13:25, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. PATH SLOPU 13:30, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

How do I use suggestbot?
What is suggestbot, if so, how do I use it. New3400 (talk) 13:44, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- it gives you a list of articles that you may like to edit. You can subscribe to it by adding your name there. --DBigXrayᗙ Happy Holidays! 05:08, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Are kids allowed to edit Wikipedia?
A friend asked me if kids can edit Wikipedia. Or do you need to be 18? Also, can kids have an Wikipedia account?New3400 (talk) 21:16, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, no (except for a very few advanced permissions with legal responsibilities), yes. I respectfully suggest that before asking any more questions you or your friend read the "About Wikipedia" page which is linked from every one of our 49,058,767 pages. (If you find that confusing—it's quite long and wordy—then Wikipedia:Introduction gives the bare bones, and I see you already have a link above to the Wikipedia Adventure which is quite a good crash-course in Wikipedia for newcomers.) ‑ Iridescent 23:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Is repeating articles bad?
I've been editing, and i noticed some articles links (i.e youtube repeats in the same article). Is it good or bad? New3400 (talk) 15:51, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- I don't really understand what you mean by "repeats". If you mean, should something be linked more than once in an article, then in general we link the first time something is mentioned in the lead section of the article and then the first time it's mentioned in the body text, but that's not a hard-and-fast rule.
- Your talk page really isn't a good place to be asking questions; only four people are currently watching this page, and presumably two of those are your current and former account. If you're looking for general help and advice about Wikipedia, WP:Teahouse is the best place to chat with people who can talk you through any editing questions you might have. ‑ Iridescent 15:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rent (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello
Hello. I have included the text from the Elvis Presley article which you removed because 1) the text had been included in the article for a long time which showed that there was consensus for it to be included in the article 2) you did not object to any of the text. Articles about other famous singers who are known by their first names have the same style e.g. Kylie Minogue. And, many articles have the same word mentioned more than once in the leading sentence e.g. Las Vegas.--Doctor987654 (talk) 09:29, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Deletion
Your attempt to propose an article for deletion was pretty confused, I tidied it up for you. See WP:DEL for how to do it. PatGallacher (talk) 01:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your interest in how we elect our administrators. Please read this: WP:RFAV, it will help your future participation in this process. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Wikilinks
Hi. It's not really a good idea to link normal words that everyone knows. It means someone has to spend time undoing them. The page at MOS:LINK will explain how and when to use Wikilinks and if you need any explanations, don't hesitate to ask at the Teahouse or drop me a line on my talk page - we're here to help.

Disambiguation link notification for December 21
An automated process has detected that you recently added links to disambiguation pages.
- Lights Over Paris (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to Band
- Michael Farmer, Baron Farmer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to Christian

December 2019
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Jamal Khashoggi are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Your help desk question
You have a response.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:11, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I would respectfully suggest that telling users interested in creating an article to "search for the guide" is not very helpful. New users may not know how to do that- they likely wouldn't be at the help desk asking if they did. They may also have- even if they did find it- difficulty in interpreting it and would like to see a response from a live human to clarify things. 331dot (talk) 00:43, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- user:331dot, my fault, not used to working in the help desk. Thanks. New3400 (talk) 00:59, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- You should leave the help desk to editors who have more experience with Wikipedia. Bitter Oil (talk) 19:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Michelin Guide, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:30, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
