Thank you for fixing more of the vandalism on the House of Lords page, I only caught the search preview at first somehow, you beat me to the rest of it o7 Kuinor (talk) 11:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

No worries! It's always nice to know that there are people out there keeping an eye on such things. Sigma440 (talk) 11:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

History of Denmark edit

edit

Hi, it's common knowledge that Kievan Rus was founded by Vikings, the Rurik dynasty ruled the many cities and later principalities there. If a reader were to click on the Kiev Rus link in the history of Denmark article, they would immediately see this too. I added the extra information, because then it makes the preceding information on the large trade networks more understandable. 2001:1C02:1990:A900:A133:12C8:56B:A2BA (talk) 08:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'll leave it alone for now since I haven't studied Eastern European history for some years. Having said that, since your edit was challenged, anyone would be able to revert it again and you'd be asked to provide some sort of source even if you think of it as common knowledge. (See WP:BURDEN)
Also, telling people to click a wikilink absolutely isn't enough either. Be sure to keep that in mind in case someone else asks you for a source in the future. (See WP:CIRCULAR and WP:CK) Sigma440 (talk) 10:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately I was off Wikipedia, so it took me a while to see it, but once I did see it I did what you quite rightly suggested. JBW (talk) 15:13, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks very much for the assistance. Much appreciated! Sigma440 (talk) 15:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

François Letexier page

edit

Quick question; why François Letexier page being attacked with lots of vandalism? Was he recently refereed a match and cause some controversy? Can you clean things out for me? 2A02:C7C:5ADE:9E00:1081:7932:FF17:A300 (talk) 10:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, i came here cuz of this user's question on the teahouse, just adding, I don't see the vandalism there. Garethphua (talk) 07:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I never made a username report before but it was definitely something that needed to be dealt with. I guess there's a first time for everything! -Sigma440 (talk) 07:07, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

"bogeda"

edit

"bogeda" not bodega. I gave a reference, see for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94hdP5lNkg4 24.157.135.56 (talk) 22:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, a Youtube video is not considered an appropriate source here. See WP:RSPYT. If you're serious and want to find an actually reliable source for a citation, you can look at the other sources listed on the page WP:RSP. You can also read WP:RS and WP:VERIFY for a more general overview.

You can hear her say it and watch her mouth form the words. How on earth is that not valid?! 24.157.135.56 (talk) 09:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I literally gave you links to various Wikipedia policies explaining why it's not valid. Feel free to read them at your convenience and you'll find your answer. Sigma440 (talk) 10:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
In addition, what would be the actual point of that edit to the bodega article? It's off-topic and irrelevant. How would it contribute to making the article better and enhancing the reader's knowledge about bodegas? At best you could try adding it to the Jill Biden article but I doubt you'd have much luck there either. -Sigma440 (talk) 00:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
