About lint errors
[edit]Hi there @Bruce1ee, how do you find and fix the lint errors in an article? 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 09:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Have a look at Wikipedia:Linter, in particular the "How you can help" section. Special:LintErrors lists the current lint errors, and on each page linked there is a "Help" button at the top right, which explains how that category of errors should be fixed. Another list of current lint errors is Firefly's report. Installing the "lintHint" gadget can also be very helpful (see User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint for instructions). If you need any further help, you're welcome to ask me here. Otherwise there is a linter discussion page at Wikipedia talk:Linter. —Bruce1ee 10:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

I can't find the info boxes on my profile that link to my TR page and say "this user is a patroller on Turkish Wikipedia" etc. Can you help me? YG01 (talk) 18:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- Yes I was looking for this thank you, how can I access the other boxes? YG01 (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- There are other boxes listed in the documentation for that template. You can also click on the category links at the bottom of {{User wikipedia/New page reviewer}}. Does that help? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: Thanks for responding to this. —Bruce1ee 21:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- The categories don't show up for me, I guess because I'm not an approved user on en.wiki, thank you for your help. @Jonesey95 YG01 (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Those categories should appear for everyone. They are Category:User rights templates and Category:New Page Patrol userbox templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help, unfortunately it doesn't show up for me. Our wiki is very different. For example, on our wiki the number of changes etc. is shown on the user page, but not on yours.

- On en.WP, I have a script or a gadget that adds text to the top of User pages like "1,252 revisions since 2005-03-15 (+6 days), 44 editors, 101 watchers". That may be what you mean. It is not a standard feature that all editors see. As for whitelisting, I don't know what you mean. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- What I mean is that while the Turkish Wiki has information about such users, the English Wiki has a blank space... What I mean by White List is that users who do not require version control are given to users who are trusted by us, and the burden of version control is lightened. YG01 (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- You could ask at tr.WP how that information is displayed on User pages. It looks like a customized piece of code that we do not have at en.WP. As for the white list, the en.WP list of user rights is at Wikipedia:User access levels. You could ask at Wikipedia talk:User access levels about the equivalent to the tr.WP white list. We may have the same thing but call it by a different name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Hornby Railways logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

If you see any more like that, please could you let me know? I'll take all the link spammers you want to give me because they're usually organised SEO types rather than misguided newbies but I'm particularly interested in anything related to Dubai/the UAE. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell: ... and thanks for blocking this user. I'll keep a lookout for Dubai/UAE and other link spammers and forward them on to you. —Bruce1ee 12:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Mark Dawson
[edit]Just wondered if you could have a look at the "Mark Dawson" page.
Seems to be sanitized, as no mention of the story below, re: plagiaraism allegations. Several months old now and NO mention on his entry in Wiki.
THANKS
Based on the available information, Mark Dawson has not publicly responded to the plagiarism allegations against him. Key points regarding the situation:
1. There has been no direct public statement from Mark Dawson addressing the accusations[1][4].
2. His company, Self Publishing Formula, has rebranded to Learn Self Publishing, with Dawson "taking a step back" from public-facing aspects of the business[4][5].
3. Any mentions of the plagiarism allegations in Dawson's Facebook group are reportedly being deleted, though this is unconfirmed[2].
4. Some of Dawson's books published by Hachette (through Welbeck) appear to have been removed from the publisher's website, though not all titles were affected[5].
5. Dawson has not appeared on podcast episodes or communicated in his groups since the allegations surfaced[4].
6. Despite the controversy, Dawson still has a new book scheduled for release in May 2024[5].
The lack of response and the changes to his business suggest that Dawson is attempting to avoid public scrutiny while not directly addressing the allegations. This approach has left many in the self-publishing community waiting for a more definitive statement or explanation from the author.

- None of the sources you cite supporting plagiarism allegations are reliable. I don't know Mark Dawson and have no connection to him, but only when some reliable sources can be found, can these allegations be added to the article. —Bruce1ee 12:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Inadvertent display of Sounding Rocket article revision
[edit]I am sorry for you having to revert my sandbox efforts to the external links on the sounding rockets page. I have extensive research on Sounding Rockets and missiles in general. As I feel that Wikipedia is encyclopedic and should provide researchers with as many useful leads as reasonable, I am working upon a revision of the Sounding Rockets page. The current page (August 2024) is very deficient in extent and content. For example it states "The basic elements of a sounding rocket are a solid-fuel rocket motor." All early Sounding Rockets were liquid fueled. Witness the See Also section which lists several such as Aerobee and the V-2. There were also sounding rockets which used artillery for example the Martlet series. There was the air launched Sparoair series. I am most sorry that my sandboxing of external links entries were inadvertently posted. Many are for aged sources which are not easily proofed to avoid problems that the Wikipedia templates are poorly designed to handle.
Thanks for the heads-up I shall try to be more careful in the future.
