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)

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)

Or with gradients! Hello Ritchie DanCherek (talk) 15:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

Hi

Hiya. Dropping in again. Would you mind taking a look at this? I'm not sure about the user name and their edits look fishy... John (talk) 01:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Xylan P Ladista from Zippy Roadside Inc (04:54, 19 July 2024)

Ritchie333, My name is Xylan. I work for Zippy Roadside Inc., and we did not see a wikipedia page for us and wanted to create one. I guess I have no idea how to use Wikipedia lol. But we are a small startup, looking to get our things running! Any advice you can give for me on how to use Wikipedia for this topic? I have an article pre-written out that is neutral tone, but I am not sure how to publish and add photos that meet wikipedia standards --Xylan P Ladista from Zippy Roadside Inc (talk) 04:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Xylan P Ladista from Zippy Roadside Inc: In short, you don't. Wikipedia is not a means of advertising. We are also not a business directory. Small startups generally do not have reliable, secondary sources that talk about them, which is what you would need to begin to consider an article about your company. I strongly advise against making any attempt to create an article about your company unless you have a lot of such references. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll hold off for a moment. We saw some community submitted contributions about us on other sites such as Crunchbase and other ones. We did not want to advertise on here at all. Just was looking for a place to start an article about us like others did for us on other sites. Xylan P Ladista from Zippy Roadside Inc (talk) 17:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

We're not Crunchbase, nor do we have any intention of being them any more than Crunchbase is in trying to be an encyclopedia. We rely on reliable, secondary sources to support articles here. Without them, an article about your company will never happen. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:14, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from FGK802 (18:53, 31 July 2024)

Hey Ritchie, great to meet you! I'm new to Wikipedia and created an account to update inaccuracies on the wikipedia page about the non profit I work for. What is the best way to go about suggesting edits to the page? I want be transparent that I work for the organization and that the page (which hasn't been changed in years) no longer reflects what we do. Would appreciate any advice you have on this or suggestions for people in the community I should reach out to. Best, Finn --FGK802 (talk) 18:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from CPeltonRRP (17:08, 22 August 2024)

Hi! I tried out writing a lead section in my sandbox for a page that was missing one. Is there any way you could review it and let me know if I am on the right track? I don't want to add anything live since I'm new! Thanks! --CPeltonRRP (talk) 17:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Query

Hello. I was just wondering if you remembered where you asked that comment on whether Google Maps can be used as a source about 2 or so years ago? If you can't remember, then no worries. Regards, Roads4117 (talk) 08:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I have found the discussion! Roads4117 (talk) 10:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
