My first article on Vacant lot of Cabbages - work of art, is published and has been through a round of editing - so far so good. Can you help please: For reasons i don't understand, if you type in vacant lot of cabbages into google it takes you to my talk page not to the wiki article. have i inadvertently set it up to do this? your help would be appreciated many thanks.

How do I message on wikipedia. It's different than talk page? Also what is trout fish whacked? It redirected me to the talk page. But is it rude? It says don't take it seriously. Unsure if professional on wiki. Thanks! new to this ~2025-31939-01 (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@~2025-31939-01 (talk page stalker) You can add a message exactly how you just did =) It is the same as an article talk page. A trout is to tell someone they made a mistake, but in a nice way. For the most part, people are professional on Wikipedia, but it really depends. I am a mix, as I believe being unprofessional can promote a tighter community bound, which helps the overall goal of creating a better Encyclopedia. It really depends on what you want and who you are talking to. Hope that helps =) – LuniZunie ツ_(talk) 19:27, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the fix in Equestrian Portrait of Prince Balthasar Charles. But my doubt still remains. Can I (should I) have done what you did? Or just posted in the talk page as I did? Documentation on how to do this was not easy to find. Jp1008 (talk) 13:55, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Anybody can change article ratings to anything they want (besides GA or FA), it's only a problem if someone objects, see WP:BRD. You've improved the article beyond a stub, but it could still use more references than 3 (and 1 unreliable). --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 19:35, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I just got a MacBook a few days ago for work so I can test out that the instructions actually work when i get home =) – LuniZunie ツ_(talk) 00:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good, no rush. :) - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Got it working.

On your MacBook open the terminal and then follow these steps:

1. Type nano ~/.bashrc (this will open a text editor)
2. Paste export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="https://*.wikipedia.org,https://*.wikimedia.org" OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1:11435 into the editor
3. Press control+x, y, enter (this will save the file)
4. Run source ~/.bashrc && ollama serve in the terminal

If you get an error saying "address already in use", then just increment the number at the end of the IP address (11435 for example) by one until you find an open port. Remember this number.

Ollama should now be running.

• In WikiShield, under the "Server URL" section, add http://localhost followed by a colon (:) and the port number from above (so for port 11435 the URL would be http://localhost:11435)
• Now hit "test connection" and it should say connected.

Make sure you download a model (as simple as selecting a model in Ollama and just sending a random message), once you do you can hit "refresh models" and it should appear.

I should warn you however, I use WikiShield on my PC and I have a 5060TI 16GB GPU, which is good for LLMs, and my GPU sometimes will max out using a 16b model. I have absolutely no clue how well it will perform on MacOS. Additionally, the edit analysis is kind of sucky right now. It will be a lot better in the coming version, but just as a fair warning lmao.

Hope that helped =) – LuniZunie ツ_(talk) 02:06, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again (and sorry to @Pro-anti-airfor clogging his TP) but when I turned it on I received this error in the model selection tab: "No models found. Please install models using: ollama pull [model-name]" Where do I need to use that? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:36, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Whoops sorry I missed this, it is saying this in Ollama?

Nevermind I found it in the code, yeah you just have to follow the instructions below (as in send a random message to a model, make sure it is one with a download symbol next to it and NOT a cloud symbol), it takes a bit to install. If you want to know which models might be best to install, you can check it out here. – LuniZunie ツ_(talk) 03:26, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame I usually install the model just by entering a random message in a an undownload model. If you want, we can move this discussion over to my talk pahe – LuniZunie ツ_(talk) 03:28, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Indeed, my redirecting of the disambiguation page was admittedly a bit of a bodge. For consistency though, I think we should either restore the previous hatnote link from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to the disambiguation page, or else delete the disambiguation page as not needed. I think the new hatnote I added is sufficient, however I accept it might be a borderline case for WP:TWOOTHER, so I'm not too bothered either way. Let me know your thoughts. --Jameboy (talk) 15:28, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

The voting phase of the December 2025 administrator elections has started and will continue until Dec 15 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• Dec 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase
• Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Hey @Terry625972, welcome to Wikipedia! Articles should be written in an encyclopedic tone, from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is a summary of what independant sources have to say about the subject, and should not give original research. When communicating with fellow editors, it is important to remain CIVIL.

(talk page stalker) @Krijama19 Hi! I see a few issues with your draft. For example, I see that you cite Wikipedia; Wikipedia does not consider Wikipedia reliable, so we don't cite it. If you need further help, I would suggest looking at Help:Your first article. Hope that helps, – LuniZunie_(talk) 02:26, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for this. I think I got confused on citing wiki vs referencing to other pages. Like he is listed in other places as the US Atty for Alaska so thought I was cross linking to those pages. The main issue is they are saying he is not notable enough. I have a lot of other articles but how many make him notable? Krijama19 (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

@Krijama19 Notability is more based on how many sources talk about the person, and what those sources are. It really is a case by case basis and there is not definite amount. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:35, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

  • Draft:Marshall Jon Fisher (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi. I have questions about why you rejected the page I created about the author Marshall Jon Fisher. You said that it resembled a resume more than an encyclopedia entry, and that it needed more secondary sources, rather than "self-published sources." But I don't understand. After my first rejection, I studied the biography pages of many other authors, and used them as a template. And I don't think any of my sources are "self-published." Could you help me by pointing out which ones you think are?

It seems to me that the page I created looks just like hundreds, or even thousands, of other authors' bio pages. As one example, compare with the entry for "Burkhard Bilger." If you could show me how that page uses better sources, or is less like a resume, it would be a big help to me.

Thanks very much for your time. I am truly trying to figure out how to make this work.

You are free to resubmit if you disagree, and another reviewer will see if it's fine. It's just that there is a list of things they have done, and most of the sources are there, rather than WP:SIGCOV about the article subject.

what link do i upload do i copy paste the link or use the commons link? Gfroi (talk) 16:48, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

No, if you use the link, it will become a link. When you upload a photo, you should use the file name, in the manner I showed above. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 16:50, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

could u explain that? Gfroi (talk) 16:54, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

For example, you decide you want to upload a photo to commmons. You click upload, you upload your image, and you decide on a file name, say, c:File:Screenshot of WikiShield.png. To add the image to a page, you would add what I showed above: "[[File:Screenshot of WikiShield.png|100px]]", which outputs the image with 100px size. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 16:58, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Pro-anti-air, I notice you have been welcoming mentees to Wikipedia; thanks for that, and bravo! I just signed up as a mentor recently, and found the sole welcome template, {{Mentor welcome}}, wanting. So, I created {{Welcome mentee}} and have started to use that one. Feel free to use it as well, and let me know how you like it. I am active on the Welcoming committee, and I think we need a selection of mentor templates available to us to choose from; spare ones like {{Welcome}}, graphical ones for some users like {{Welcome to Wikipedia}}, and others. In some cases, it might be sufficient simply to add a mentor or Homepage link to some of the existing welcome templates. Feel free to add any ideas you have on this to the template talk page, or contact me on my Talk page. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 12:34, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Pro-anti-air, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

I apologise if this is an obvious question, is there a place I should look first before asking you directly? --Yukit00kazaki (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for asking @Yukit00kazaki, looking at the article, I believe it is in alphabetical order. I could be wrong. Another place you could ask is at relevant WikiProjects, the Teahouse (which is great for newcomers), or the help desk. Don't worry about questions being too obvious! --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 00:06, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Amazing, thank you :) ~2025-42375-77 (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

@~2025-42375-77: Is this you logged out? I would recommend you logging in, as it could be seen as confusing or misleading. Thanks! --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 00:09, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Indeed it was; my apologies, I opened it through the email app instead of through the web browser on my phone. I'm logged in now across both email and web browser. Yukit00kazaki (talk) 00:10, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

	I am sorry to say that I sorely disagree with your username—you can’t be both, and I fall squarely into the pro-air camp.[FBDB] Now that that’s out of the way, thank you for your humour and great work over the past six months (you’ve only been here since May!?), and congrats on getting NPP! I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season, and I’ll see you in 2026 :D.

GoldRomean (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! Now as much as it pains me to say this, your interpretation is wrong^{[FBDB]← Right back at ya!}

It's meant to be read one at a time, not all together. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 01:07, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Though, I must thank you for the reading material (ANI thread). Have a golden year! --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 01:54, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Whoops, apologies, that'll teach me to stop making assumptions. And how about existing downstage? Jump right into the audience, maybe do some crowdsurfing while you're at it ;). GoldRomean (talk) 01:32, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Ah yes, to my adoring fans. You can do a lot of things without air resistance, you know? ;) you should try it. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 04:09, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Millions of them! Perhaps one day I shall try, but as said above, I'm quite fond of air at the moment ;). HNY! GoldRomean (talk) 00:11, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Oh, and also...

		The Adoptee Graduation Diploma
		Whilst we’re here, we might as well make it official. I think developing a whole new anti-vandalism tool (along with two also-amazing Wikipedians) more than qualifies you as an experienced editor that does not need a tutorial on how to do things like warn people whilst doing RCP; thus, I invoke my right to ignore all the rules and officially declare you an adoptee grad. Questions, of course, are still always welcome, shall you have them :). GoldRomean (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you! I bow, and exit stage left. or right? --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 01:07, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
