READ THIS FIRST:
Because of Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer, this is my advice on quick-moving events.
- Wikipedia is a historical encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia is not a newspaper: Wikipedia is not a news source; it is not a good source for "Breaking News".
- Wikipedia:There is no deadline: Editors get no points for making an early edit and there is no added clout here for being first.
- Wikipedia:No original research: Editors don't need to add something just because they think or even "know" it's going to happen.
- Wikipedia:Ownership of content: Even early edits are open to other editors making drastic changes.
- Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Be concise: Avoid unnecessary formalism and excessive details.
Thank you. —GoldRingChip

Template:Campaignbox Anglo-Spanish wars
[edit]I have readded the link to "Anglo-Spanish War (disambiguation)". Contrary to what you think, this does not create a circular link on the disambiguation page or creates other misery. In fact it is a trick used to fool the maintenance bots to think that the template does not link to a disambiguation page in its title, while it is doing that. But without the redirect, the maintenance bots will start shouting that is is an incorrect link that needs to be fixed. So please, do not remove it again. The Banner talk 15:44, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. I did not think it created a circular link; that was a different editor. My motivation was to link to a more direct article, but you and the other editors have correctly noted that there is no more direct article exists, so the diambiguation page is as good as it gets. —GoldRingChip 20:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Lala Rukh
[edit]Dear GoldRingChip,
I hope you are well. I would like to make some changes to the Wikipedia page 'Lala Rukh (Activist)'. I work at the Estate of Lala Rukh to manage the late artist and activist's archives. our goal is to make information on her more accessible. I have edited the text on the already existing page 'Lala Rukh (Activist)'. I would like to correct the title of the page to either just Lala Rukh or to Lala Rukh (Artist and Activist) as that is more accurate. Along with that, I also want to include pictures from her archives in her biography, which I am unable to do currently. If you could grant me more rights and/or administrative rights, I would like to make these necessary changes.
Thank You,

Union University
[edit]I see many, many years ago you maybe worked on Union University in New York. It is hard to track down exactly how it "exists" although I understand that Union College and Albany Law School are part of it. But I'm not sure if it is legally incorporated or what exactly. Jjazz76 (talk) 22:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Jjazz76: Short answer– I don't know. Long answer– 19 years ago I was editing List of presidents of the United States by education, saw that POTUS Chester Arthur had attended Union College. Union College was a short article at the time. I added a paragraph about the affiliated colleges, and moved on without any further work on either article. Sorry I can't help more on this. —GoldRingChip 16:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- All good. It seems like it was mostly a loose affiliation and none of the colleges mention it anymore except for Albany Law School except to say they are questioning its continued existence. Seems like it exists via an act of legislature, but not sure there is like a corporate status. Anyway very interesting!
