Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

why exactly is the fine part needed?

it seems very irrelevant, so why exactly is it there? 19:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC) 207.192.195.114 (talk) 19:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

You should not remove something "just because" You should provide a reason. You haven't provided a reason to remove content. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:49, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Why do we only use automatic taxobox?

For some reason we only use {{automatic taxobox}} instead of {{taxobox}} for some reason I don’t know why and it don’t know. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 01:37, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I gave you an explanation and a link at Draft talk:Pyrosomatinae. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Atlas Þə Biologist: In the beginning, we had no templates and we made taxoboxes by hand. Then we had templates for each entry in the taxobox. Then we had the simple taxobox template that required manual updates of taxonomic changes. Now we have the automatic taxobox system which allows us to not have to determine the hierarchy manually, it does it automatically. I stand with Elmidae: stop being stubborn and work with us instead of against us. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Abubakar Abrick Solokor (10:26, 24 October 2024)

Hello. Please how can I publish my wikipedia for people to access it on Google? --Abubakar Abrick Solokor (talk) 10:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Abubakar Abrick Solokor: Your user page is not to be used in this way. We are here to write an encyclopedia, not promote ourselves to the world. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:06, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, I believe we can do this together. Abubakar Abrick Solokor (talk) 23:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Depends on what you mean by "this". - UtherSRG (talk) 11:02, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jack M James (19:27, 25 October 2024)

I changed a cast list on a tv production earlier, and the changes were reverted. Why would that be? --Jack M James (talk) 19:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

@Jack M James: As per the edit summary of the revert: Material seems to be a direct copy of the official synopsis. i.e. WP:COPYVIO. Your edits must be in your words, with a reference to the source. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:04, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

They were just cast members names... Difficult to put those in my own words? Jack M James (talk) 09:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

You clearly added more than that. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from ChestyXV (03:27, 26 October 2024)

Hello, I am having an issue with someone correcting my edits on a page for which I am the subject matter expert. The person removing my edits originally created the page, but he or she has allowed inaccurate information be added to the page over time. A friend alerted me to the misinformation on the page, so I created an account so I could fix the mistakes as well as update the entry from being just a “stub,” as suggested by Wikipedia. What recourse do I have to take over the page from the person? He or she appears to not be interested in having a page with added information and numerous citations to back up the content. It does not make any sense to me. Thank you, in advance, for your time! --ChestyXV (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

@ChestyXV: We are an encyclopedia. We have a certain standard of language and style. Please conform your writing to established encyclopedic norms. I'll provide you links on your talk page that may help. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:10, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I see that the user you beleive you have trouble with has already provided you all of the information I was going to. Read and learn and comply. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:11, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
