Question from Mrkatz1943 (08:54, 13 February 2026)

Hello Visual . . . How does one link pages? Like if I wanted to link Coney Island v Burton decision to its entry in the 2025 term opinions of the Supreme Court page. --Mrkatz1943 (talk) 08:54, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

If you're using the wiki markup you put the link inside double square braces. See WP:LINK for more info. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 06:12, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Question from Shelley Jennifer (16:02, 3 March 2026)

Hi. I just want to edit one article which is why I signed up. It is an article about my husband which is completely out of date and should be corrected and the whole article needs revision. --Shelley Jennifer (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I would suggest starting by reading our conflict of interest policy. You could make comments on the talk page with information that needs editing, but I would not attempt to edit the page yourself as a first project. COI is really tricky to manage. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
I have read it and, really, I just want to correct some facts. There is no point of view or commentary to change. My husband entry, for example, says he is still working in Chicago for the Canadian government. No, he isn't. He returned to Toronto in 2020. Shelley Jennifer (talk) 16:14, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
That's totally fine to add to the talk page, ideally with a reference to an external source, and let another editor make the changes. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 16:18, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
An external source? Don't you think his wife would know he isn't working at a specific job anymore? And, how do I go about adding to the "talk" page? What talk page? What editor will make the changes?
In addition, the article isn't well written. It sounds like one of John's assistants wrote it. Shelley Jennifer (talk) 20:21, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
Every article has a talk page - the link should be at the top left, just under the title.
And we can't trust information just because a user says so, even if that user is an expert. If the information can't be sourced, it may need to be deleted from the article. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 20:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
Okay, I will go to the talk page. But, how do I get the article rewritten? I can send you the blurb I wrote for the Order of Canada describing John's career. Shelley Jennifer (talk) 20:27, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
Which page is it? HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 20:48, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Question from ChickenScuttleMonkey (20:47, 7 March 2026)

Hi! What Wikipedia-editing skills would you recommend to someone who is hoping to bring a page up to "featured article" status? --ChickenScuttleMonkey (talk) 20:47, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi there! Apparently you are my new mentor?

Hello, I got a notification that you are my new mentor? Admit I have questions and have been on and off with Wikipedia for a long time. Then I went to the Wiki conference in NYC and was there when the gunman came in and... I didn't go back. So... does being my mentor mean anything? Are you open to basic questions? I'd love to know. Thanks. PaulieZiegfeld (talk) 22:31, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. Or, welcome back. Being your mentor means that you have at least one person you can ask questions to, and that's about it. Most people who've been around a while are happy to answer questions and help out and that includes me! If you have any questions, let me know! I may be slow to answer for the next week or so, but will do my best. Happy editing. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 22:40, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for the clue! Main Q is: someone dinged me on a page I wrote saying I may have been paid to do it. I was not. Arguing this point, that person did believe me and removed the "paid" tag but dinged my page with a "may have a close connection with the subject." I explained that yes, things I am expert in, especially in live performance means I may have / have often have met subjects IRL. But the page is not BS or marketing, it does have neutral POV IMHO, and I feel bad for the artist having this on their page, especially as I chose the subject because this was a woman who was notably absent before, unlike every other man in the same field. So how does one get people to rally to review this page and possibly remove a tag? I'd love to know the right way to handle this. Thanks for any help.

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?

Question from Heavycrownpress (19:20, 20 March 2026)

The article on Charlotte Casiraghi is concerning. It contains a lot of irrelevant information that seems like trivia. It just feels like a page written by fans. I would like to start by improving its references and go from there. In the long run, it seems like a broad revision is needed. --Heavycrownpress (talk) 19:20, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, welcome. What's the question? HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 19:23, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
Haha, yeah, I guess I forgot to ask it. My question is, can I just jump in and start redoing it? I feel like that would be not the right approach. Heavycrownpress (talk) 19:28, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
I wouldn't start with a whole rewrite, but adding some (reliable) references and more (relevant) information is always welcome.
I took a glance at the article, and overall it seems like it's OK. What are your concerns with it? HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 21:08, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
The equestrian section is the worst, in my opinion. Like, listing her horses and events attended... Unless, the event is something where she achieved first place or a significant medal, that just... has nothing to do with her importance as a subject on Wikipedia.

Question from BreadSmoothie (03:14, 30 March 2026)

Question from Lickmah on Jenny Saville (03:59, 4 April 2026)

Hello, how to add a citation --Lickmah (talk) 03:59, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for the delay. WP:CITE has all the information about citations. Short version: use <ref>Your citation here</ref> at the place you want to cite.
Since most citations are to web pages, you can also see the {{Cite web}} template for ways to make that easier.
Let me know if you have more questions. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Question from GrandTrine2012 (21:53, 8 April 2026)

Hello! I had noticed a page where a reference link goes to an error page and says, "Unable to determine IP address." What do you do to remove the reference link? --GrandTrine2012 (talk) 21:53, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

References are usually managed in line - see WP:CITE for a lot of info on how they work.
You can edit the section and find the bit between <ref>...</ref> tags, and either replace it with a working reference, or delete the whole ref block entirely. Let me know if you need more help - send me a link to the page and which reference is bad. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 21:58, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Move close at State University of New York at Cobleskill

Hi HundredVisionsAndRevisions, I'm wondering if you could explain your move close for my proposal to move this page to SUNY Cobleskill, rather than relisting it? There is low participation here and I presented, imo, a very strong case for COMMONNAME that aligns also with CONCISE and ACROTITLE, and is CONSISTENT with the (lack of) consistency for SUNY pages. The only oppose also cites ACROTITLE and that the acronym is "not at all clear to the average WP user," which is not part of WP policy or guidance. Thanks BrechtBro (talk) 14:03, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

As a closer, I'm not really evaluating arguments, I'm just looking to see if there's consensus.
  • there was no support for the move
  • there was opposition to the move
  • there was a previous RM that included additional opposition
If you really think there's a chance of establishing consensus, I'm happy to reopen it, but I think it's highly unlikely you'll see any additional participation that moves towards consensus to move at this time. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 15:36, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
The previous RM was bad, and the opposition there is copy & pasted as much as that RM itself and shouldn't be a factor here. I do think there's a possibility of establishing consensus, per a similar RM with some support at Talk:State University of New York at Geneseo#Requested move 22 March 2026, as this RM is a stronger case than that one. BrechtBro (talk) 17:42, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
I've reopened it and linked the Geneseo conversation. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 17:54, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

We don't have profile images here. WP:NOTCV - Wikipedia isn't really about who we are as individuals, it's about who we are as editors and what we do. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 14:28, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

If you mean "can I completely rewrite an article" then technically I guess you could, but I would recommend making a lot more smaller edits before you attempt that.
If you mean can you add information or update an article, then yes please do, just make sure you follow the guidelines and cite your sources. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 21:32, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Question from F.Luce.Mantle (04:40, 28 April 2026)

If you are linking from one article to another and it's a relevant link, you can just do it. Links between articles make wikipedia great. HundredVisionsAndRevisions (talk) 14:30, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
