Thanks a lot

Thanks for the minor barnstar. You gave me my 10th one in the past 16 months. I'm assuming you found out about them through the recent changes feed. I appreciate the gratitude. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from KaylaT3210 (17:35, 3 February 2022)

Hello! Why is your name I dream of Horses? --KaylaT3210 (talk) 17:35, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

@KaylaT3210 It was an impulsive decision, but I don't regret it. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:11, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thank you

For doing the disambiguation at the ozanimod page. Please, do as much tidying there as you want! I was only there because interested in understanding the drug (it's being advertised during the Olympics), and stayed with the article, because so much there was based only on press releases and other primary sources (rather than reliable secondary sources). I'm sure someone who owns the article will also show up, but other sets of kind eyes are always welcome! 2601:246:C700:558:A9BE:1C36:A7F6:BE3 (talk) 05:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from MAWbiz (07:26, 8 February 2022)

Hi, I am writing an article about a company. Just wondering whether there is a minimum length of that article. Thanks! --MAWbiz (talk) 07:26, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@MAWbiz Articles can get pretty short, but you need to have references in the article, and a summary of what the references say. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:30, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

What company are you writing about? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:31, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from MAWbiz on User talk:I dream of horses (07:46, 8 February 2022)

Hi, thanks!

This is the website of the company https://www.mawbiz.com.bd/

I have just written the first draft. My first time submitting something on wiki, is it possible for you to take a quick look at the draft? --MAWbiz (talk) 07:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

You have to change your account name; you can't name your account after a company, since that could imply that a company is sharing an account between their employees. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@MAWbiz: You can change your username here. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:52, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

(07:57, 8 February 2022) ==

Hey thanks! This is so overwhelming haha, so much to learn.

Just requested for a change of username. How long does it take for the name to change? --MAWbiz (talk) 07:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@MAWbiz: It varies, but it should be done pretty quickly, probably during daylight hours in North America. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:01, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Guitarworkshop409: Apparently, it can get done almost immediately. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:02, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Guitarworkshop409 on User talk:I dream of horses (08:03, 8 February 2022)

Just got the name change request accepted, sweet :)

Is it possible for me to send you the first draft of the article so you can have a quick look? Just about 200 words with references --Guitarworkshop409 (talk) 08:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Guitarworkshop409: I can't find the draft in your contributions. You'll have to link to it, and I'll probably look at it at some point after waking up tomorrow. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Guitarworkshop409 on User talk:I dream of horses (08:12, 8 February 2022)

Thanks.

Can you please let me know how to upload the draft?

Where is it under the contribution tab? --Guitarworkshop409 (talk) 08:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Guitarworkshop409: You can do it through articles for creation. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 09:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Guitarworkshop409 on User talk:I dream of horses (08:44, 8 February 2022)

Couldn't figure out how to upload a draft here so here is the google drive link. Will really appreciate your comments, thanks!

@Guitarworkshop409: Unfortunately, it would appear that the draft that you wrote reads more like a resume or brochure than an encyclopedia article; more concerning, it's referenced to primary sources, and Wikipedia is based on secondary sources (being an encyclopedia, it's basically a tertiary source).

You wouldn't be affiliated with MAWbiz by any chance? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 09:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes I am, am i not supposed to? --Guitarworkshop409 (talk) 09:26, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Guitarworkshop409: You need to disclose your affiliation on your userpage. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 09:28, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Guitarworkshop409 on User talk:I dream of horses (09:30, 8 February 2022)

Ok thanks. I am an admin there. But will it be a problem if I am affiliated? Should I ask someone who is not affiliated? --Guitarworkshop409 (talk) 09:30, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Guitarworkshop409: If you want, you can request an article here, after disclosing your affiliation. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 09:32, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you again

First Nations

I just saw this. Did you do any others like that? It should have been changed to First Nations in Canada. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

@CambridgeBayWeather I think that was one of the few mistakes I made. Thank you for fixing it. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 16:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

No worries. It's an easy error to make. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:26, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Possible Vandalism in Johnny Appleseed

I just reverted an edit to Johnny Appleseed and I see you reverted an earlier edit there. Based on the content of these edits and several others, I think the page is being targeted by vandals. I'm a new editor, so is there a procedure to "protect" a page temporarily? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just Another Cringy Username (talk • contribs) 08:01, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@Just Another Cringy Username You can request protection at WP:RPP (or "requests for page protection"). It probably won't work because it's more for when multiple reverts a day is needed; then again, it's good to know where you make requests for protection.

Italian credits link

Good afternoon. In my Google Drive I have the italian credits of some movies.

Here's the link with all files of italian credits: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/my-drive?sort=13&direction=a

As you can see on my contributions i've added the link of google drive where there is the italian credits.

Can I do this for the pages of the italian voice actors? -- RBNB1589 (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@RBNB1589 I don't see any sources; I just see my own google drive. Perhaps you'd be interested in WP:REFBEGIN. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:35, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@I dream of horses in the italian wiki there was a year ago the discussion about the italian voice actors acreditated in italian credits (find "Fonti attendibili" / "Attendible Sources") and all the users they have accepted this. So I think for this informations they are right for the eng wikipedia. --RBNB1589 (talk) 21:45, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@RBNB1589: But I can't see the sources you're trying to show me. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

The sources they are on the files of google drive. Can you opens? They are public files. RBNB1589 (talk) 21:50, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

●"Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest - italian credits". Google Drive.

Can you open this? Is public. Try to writing on google drive "Titoli di coda" (credits) and you will seen. Good evening. --RBNB1589 (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@RBNB1589 I'm not sure what's going on with the Italian wikipedia, but here, pictures of an electronic screen aren't considered a usable source. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

but, but they are the italian cast of the movies. In the screen there is the italian voice actors who i've added in the page of the italian voice actors. And that they are the sources. --RBNB1589 (talk) 23:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@RBNB1589 Photographs aren't sources, though. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:23, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

And if the photo they show the italian voice actors of the movie can i citate the dub role for example with <ref>/from the italian credits/<ref> if there is on the italian credits? (This is the same move who i've seen do in italian wikipedia, like here); that move in the italian wikipedia he mean "if the source come from the credits if the source in web does not exist this is correct, because i known this rule "wikipedia assimilates primary and secondary sources" and the italian credits of the movie is a primary sources for the pages of the italian voice actors.

--RBNB1589 (talk) 23:27, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@RBNB1589 Italian Wikipedia has different policies than the English wikipedia. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:36, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

all right don't worry. But add informations taken from the italian wikipedia like this who i've did it is wrong or not? Just for curiosity. So can I citate the dubbing roles from the italian credits? --RBNB1589 (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

apart this, i've removed all the references of the photos in all pages where i've contribuited, you're right, the photos they aren't sources. But if that dubbing role come from italian wikipedia i think they could be good for eng wiki and i don't see any problem to add that informations from italian wikipedia. Bye bye --RBNB1589 (talk) 00:01, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Do you spend all of your time on Wikipedia 66.172.89.175 (talk) 00:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

No, sometimes I watch YouTube as well.

A message from GregFarted

Hello, I dream of Horses, I was curious as to why you have reverted all of my changes onto the Wake Christian Academy Wikipedia Page, Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregFarted (talk • contribs) 05:28, 28 February 2022 (UTC) I accidentally have messed up some of the information on the page, however some of the information that I had corrected is still correct, and I believe that Wake Christian Academy is inaccurately portrayed by this Wikipedia Page at the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregFarted (talk • contribs) 05:31, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
