Question from I74765279 (20:08, 20 June 2024)
911 --I74765279 (talk) 20:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
June thanks
Thank you for improving article quality in June! - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:07, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Iitimi (09:05, 21 June 2024)
Hi --Iitimi (talk) 09:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Iitimi! Welcome to Wikipedia; feel free to ask any questions! :) ~ Tails Wx 01:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from ErickCartmann (20:05, 23 June 2024)
Hello, how do we fix the Comicsgate Wikipedia entry? It currently violates several policies I read as a new contributor; it’s full of opinions, poorly cited, and biased. Here is the link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comicsgate#/editor/0 --ErickCartmann (talk) 20:05, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, @ErickCartmann! So, if there’s issues with the article, you could fix it yourself. However, since contentious topics rules apply to that page in particular, then I highly recommend asking on the article’s talk page for any edits or fixes that could be made regarding the article. The Help desk could also be of interest in any questions regarding that article as well. Thanks! :) ~ Tails Wx 04:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Newsjunkie13 on Antonio Mora (14:15, 26 June 2024)
Hi. I used an updated picture, but it does not appear at the top of the infobox. I tried to use source editing to move it, but I've been unsuccessful. Thanks for your help. --Newsjunkie13 (talk) 14:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Newsjunkie13, I’ve fixed it for ya here!. Linking the URL in the infobox does not cause the image to show up, by the way. ~ Tails Wx 04:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Allewikiwriter (01:22, 28 June 2024)
Hi, I wrote an article and it keeps getting rejected by different writers. The most recent rejection comment was "Remove unreliable resources".The reviewer did not explain which sources are unreliable.... How should I proceed? This is my draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Carlo_Rino_Group_Berhad --Allewikiwriter (talk) 01:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Allewikiwriter! The best way you could proceed is to ask the most recent reviewer, SafariScribe, and ask what sources are unreliable and, if possible, to improve the draft in general. You could ask the other reviewers what issues could be resolved as well! :) ~ Tails Wx 04:29, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your reply! @Tails Wx Allewikiwriter (talk) 06:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana (04:48, 5 July 2024)
Buna ziua! As dori sa public un articol despre un subiect nou pe Wikipedia. Ma puteti indruma, va rog? --Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana (talk) 04:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bună, @Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana! Voi fi mai mult decât bucuros să vă ajut să creați un articol — Help:Your first article este un link care este util, precum și Wikipedia:Article wizard și Help:Introduction. De asemenea, sunt destul de sigur că limba în care vorbiți este româna — de aceea vă răspund în română prin traducere. Există o Wikipedia în română dacă nu știți — nu ezitați să verificați și acolo! Editare fericită! :) ~ Tails Wx 00:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 07:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Question from Eshal khan (visionary 420) on User:Eshal khan (visionary 420)/Referencing sandbox (06:56, 13 July 2024)
Hi, I've to ask you something that i can i create changes.. --Eshal khan (visionary 420) (talk) 06:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
What's the biggest problem in today's world?
Well, i believe that social inequality is the biggest that individuals can't control... Eshal khan (visionary 420) (talk) 07:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I believe this question is the one you’re referring to above, @Eshal khan (visionary 420)—but this doesn’t seem like it’s related to Wikipedia unless it’s referring to the social inequality article. Probably should be asked someplace else, not Wikipedia (unless it’s a study related to it that would be useful to Wikipedia). ~ Tails Wx 15:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes Improvement Time!
Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.
There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!

Question from SDO TI (19:22, 26 July 2024)
Hi, the logo file for my company (Texas Instruments) is incorrect in Wikipedia Commons and as a result is displayed incorrectly on several pages throughout Wikipedia. I want to upload the correct version, but the tool says copyrighted images are prohibited. In tutorials, I see a "fair use" button but I do not see this option when trying to upload the file myself. Any advise? --SDO TI (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
