Editing "top"

I've been here a few years and have never figured out how editors manage to edit the lede as a section "top". How do you do that? SlightSmile 23:48, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

All I remember was that long ago—more than ten years ago, they made this possible, but you had to change something in your settings to enable it. Don't know if that's still how it works. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Unschool 13:43, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Hey I've always wondered this too. You can write the {{Help}} template on your talk page, and an experienced editor will be able to assist. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 19:26, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Ya know one day I might just do that. SlightSmile 19:43, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Do you wanna do it now, I don't see why it needs to wait. Or I'll copy this to my talk page and ask someone there. I mean editing "top" can be very useful if it lets you edit only the lead, especially if it's on larger articles that may take longer to load the whole thing. Thanks.

In the "gadgets" section of the preferences there is a "Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page" option. That seems to be what you're looking for. Huon (talk) 20:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Perfect! Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 20:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Wadya know it works. Thanks. SlightSmile 21:27, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I absolutely love them!!!! They are the most fantastic and wonderful quotes! Thank you!!! Bloody brilliant! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:10, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you I appreciate that. I think they're kinda cool if I say so myself. I've noticed cafe anna since I was new here. SlightSmile 13:17, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Sandwiching text between images and infoboxes

Hi, I'm not sure if you're aware of MOS:SANDWICH, but your edits to Tegenaria domestica resulted in classic sandwiching all over the article. Alternate left and right placement looks good, but only works when the sections are long enough so that the images are vertically far enough away from each other. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Sandwiching. Oh great now I'm hungry. SlightSmile 17:02, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Haji Lane, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malay (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.)

Place Names need Qualifiers

Sorry, do not agree. Most people in the western english world are beholden to social media - social media creates a false view of the world on almost everything. Perth Australia, along with other absurdities - denies accurate geographic knowledge. For a start the argument that created 'perth' as the prime location without qualifier was infested with those editors who dont like qualifiers. I was fortunate to have a relative who had lived in Ontario a very very long time ago, who never stated the name of a place without qualifying where - on the basis that there were more places with ambiguity than, no as many as, the late frank zappa alluded to when utilising the place names for his dislike of urban us culture all those decades ago... (how many springfields in the us say?). I think that place and country is wrong. For some very good reasons. Some mostly former editors of wikipedia thought that google hits was enough to determine primacy. I say may they live in Ontario and try living amongst the place names that require qualification as a matter of life or death perhaps. I like qualifiers, for a whole range of reasons. Please never assume that there is a collective geographical 'good sense' amongst fellow wikipedians. Tasmania has been designated as a separate country by wise editors. I rest my case. Thanks for your comments. I beg to disagree. JarrahTree 01:15, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Though it may seem to you to be a discussion that might not have many ramifications - wrong. The things that we touch on are things like various carnivores (not elephants) in the room. People used to get beaten around the head and other parts of the anatomy over primacy - i find the effort and angst created by having primacy in articles or items to be quite anti-encyclopediac - the general resolution over that could have to be abandon things tied into the google algorithm - google hits are neither a template or standard that wp en articles or subjects should be tied into imho - there are subjects and topics that do not show up on the omnivorous algorthym of whatever guiles or guides it. So why respond on this? Binary names - place and location (within a narrower context for the qualifer, and not country but something more specific) - are endless issues that we as a community should have resolved years ago, but due to the nature of the place... Pity youre elsewhere, this is a long beer or three, or tea, coffee, whatever - that should have been resolved at a wikimania, or something similar. Bet youre a canuck - go geulph! (the relative was enrolled in U of T long before you or I were even on the twinkle of an eye). sigh JarrahTree 03:53, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Saddle shoe

Here is the consensus I'm referring to. Please don't defend lists of random pop culture "sightings." They're junk. 24.7.14.87 (talk) 22:10, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

That wall of words does not constitute consensus. Take it to talk page and get consensus there. I don't know why you're so worried about this. It's a nice clean section and as one editor pointed out it gives the readers a perspective about saddle shoes. There's lots of ways you can make a contribution without being confrontational. I look forward to seeing your good work here. SlightSmile 22:44, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
RFCs are a component of Wikipedia's dispute resolution system and they most certainly do represent editor consensus. WP:CONDD: "Be familiar with policies, guidelines and past discussions." So you can't just dismiss that wall of text; at least read the closing decision at the top of the page. If you're going to urge discussion then I suggest that you not revert the article again without participating in such. I use Wikipedia's search box to find articles needing trivia cleanup and then edit them. This is one article I found. 24.7.14.87 (talk) 04:38, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, 24.7.14.87. I do hope we can work this out. I must say, by your edits, you certainly do not like those sections. If there is an RfC that broadly prohibits them, please do point it out over at the saddle shoe talk page. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:40, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
