Question

Good morning Joseph, Very sorry to bother you with an elementary question about the use of Wikipedia. Using Wikipedia on my iPhone I can see the history of my searches. I would like to do the same on my laptop. Is there a way to do so and if yes how. Thanks in advance for an answer and best regards from Amsterdam.

I have no idea, sorry. Joseph2302 21:01, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:SIGAPP

Hi. Could I bother you to tweak the colors of your signature a little bit? The yellow against white background is virtually unreadable. - NQ (talk) 23:07, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

NQ I've switched to dark yellow, is this more readable? Ideally I want to keep the yellow & green colours of Norwich City Football Club. Joseph2302 23:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Better, thanks. Yellow and green are quite tricky when it comes to WCAG color contrast compatibility. - NQ (talk) 23:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Theodor Lewald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Olympia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Message from You regarding David Hoffman Filmmaker Page

Dear Joseph,

I received a message from you regarding the updates we are trying to make on our page. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and I am completely confused. Can you help me?

Thank you. August 11, 2016 Debbie 50.174.216.217 (talk) 17:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

You were replacing sourced, neutral tone text with unsourced spam. Joseph2302 17:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

AfD

Hi. If you see an artice Proposed since March 2008 for merging, you can go ahead and simply do it. No notable School articles: Blank and redirect to the school district (USA) or to the locality (any where else). There's o need to ckoke the overburdened AfD system. Cheers.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Also, anyone could have just done it instead of complaining about the AfD discussion. As I'm effectively deleting the article by redirecting it, I still think it needs a deletion discussion. Joseph2302 11:37, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
