User talk:Ritchie333 - Wikipedia

Hi Ritchie Thanks for being my mentor! One of the things I would like to do is sort out the "roguelike chronology" page tables. Primarily because the table for traditional roguelikes has become polluted with Japanese rpg listings. Most aren't "pure" or traditional roguelikes (ASCII graphics, etc.) and don't belong there. Many don't qualify as hybrids. So my thought would be to move them into their own category table. BUT I wanted to ask you for advice whether I should or not, and if it is worth doing. It will require research on my part--which I have no problem with at all. I'm happy to do it, but I require your advice first. Thanks! --Wigandbean (talk) 01:11, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm afraid I don't know what "roguelike chronology" is - my focus has generally been on British architecture and transport articles. As for a general piece of advice about whether you should do something or not; the general view is you should have a go at doing it on one article, and if you get reverted on that, start a discussion and see what happens.

Hi!

Thanks for responding.

I understand. And I'll give it a go.

I'll make some notes and plan it on paper first. I'll need to do some research too. But I was looking for a "project" in general so I think this will do.  ; )

Best,

Hi, I have set up an account to add a page. I am using my son's laptop that uses the same Wifi as mine, but when I log into my laptop, an error message appears saying the IP address is blocked. How can I unblock my laptop please?

Thank you --Omar Azami (talk) 15:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey there @Omar Azami! Ritchie seems to be away currently and I checked his page by coincidence, so I'll step in here just to be sure the wait isn't too long.

To stop past disruption from other editors abusing multiple accounts, it's practice to ban both IPs and even IP ranges. It's possible that unlucky but supportive editors to be affected in this situation. It's happened to me before when my school was IP blocked, but I was put under an IP block exemption; this is what you'll need. You can find out more about this exemption, and how to request for one, at Wikipedia:IP block exemption. Panini! • 🥪 20:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I create a page --Khenku Sinentlahla (talk) 09:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey there @Ritchie333! Stepping in for Ritchie here so the question doesn't stall too long.

Creating a page can be very tricky, and I recommend it's best to understand general Wikipedia policy by working on other articles first before going all in. Please check out WP:FIRST, as well as some important links to check out which I have left on your talk page. Panini! • 🥪 15:58, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, is there any way to do a pushpin map with the former country infobox? I'd like my article Merrymount Colony to show the colony's location but I also want the features of the former country infobox style. --Gazingo (talk) 20:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Gazingo! I'm stepping in for Ritchie juts to make sure questions don't stall too long. I'm not the next best thing, nor am I a third or fourth best, but probably in the top 1000.

It looks like you can use a map image on this inbox by using the |image_map and |map_caption parameters. If you go to Template:Infobox country, you can see the list of all the parameters that work with the template, as well as an example on how to use them. Please ping me here if you need anything else!

Hello, can I ask you a question? How can I create and upload an article or a biography of someone or about myself? Please. --Charles (Kay Tu) (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Charles (Kay Tu)! I'm here answering questions while Ritchie is away.

This may not be the answer you want to hear, but you should most likely not do this. Please very carefully read Wikipedia:Autobiography to prevent yourself some trouble with various WP:Conflict of interest rules in the future. Panini! • 🥪 07:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I change an article's title to Italics? --Gazingo (talk) 02:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Gazingo! Still me.

Most infobox templates will automatically italicize the article title if necessary. If this is not the case for your article, you can put {{Italic title}}at the top of the page. Panini! • 🥪 06:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Putting at the top gives me the message: Warning: Display title "Onrust" overrides earlier display title "Onrust" Gazingo (talk) 15:04, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gazingo, {{Infobox ship begin}} just needed a parameter |display title=ital, although there were also some misplaced glyphs. Please have a look at my diffs at here for the fix and here for the first stuff I did that didn't fix the problem. Folly Mox (talk) 17:10, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! The trial of the RfA discussion-only period passed at WP:RFA2024 has concluded, and after open discussion, the RfC is now considering whether to retain, modify, or discontinue it. You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing!

Hey, how can I create a new page?? --Anonymous9809 (talk) 17:24, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Anonymous9809, welcome to Wikipedia! Ritchie333 hasn't edited in a few days, so other volunteers have been stepping in to answer some mentor questions in the interim.Creating a new article is one of the hardest tasks on the project, and we really recommend you get a feel for how the encyclopaedia operates before making the attempt. You might want to check out Help:Introduction for some basics, and spend some time improving existing articles before attempting your own. Whenever you feel more prepared for starting a new article, Help:Your first article is the guidance page you'll want to read thoroughly before beginning. Best wishes, Folly Mox (talk) 17:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

hello! Few days ago I created an article about the animation TV series "Tommy and Oscar". I still don't see it online and I have not received any message about it. Do you know if it will be published soon?

Thanks!
