User talk:Randomdude121/Archive2

I am interested in adding my genealogy to Wiki and would appreciate guidance on how to begin the process.

My current research and sources are located on both FamilySearch and Ancestry. Additionally, I have completed extensive genetic testing. When overlaying my genetic results with ancient Viking migratory patterns, the data confirms my descent from ancient Vikings.

I just completed a documentary about my journey from poverty into one of the most influential professions in the HVAC trade.

A general guide to beginning article creation is present at WP:YFA. If you're writing about yourself (which looks like the case here), please have a read of Wikipedia:Autobiography as well. randomdude121    07:02, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hey there! Thanks ... very very long time dabbler. Appreciate the message.

No real questions at the moment. --R-Bee-NZ (talk) 06:12, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello. How can I create a course page for students to join to create or modify different wikipedia pages? --Laylaghazi (talk) 18:14, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Hey! I'm not sure what you mean by course page, could you clarify?

These might help:

• Special:Homepage a newbie-friendly place which shows editing suggestions.
• WP:TWA, "The Wikipedia Adventure" to help contributors get acquainted with basics of Wikipedia editing.

Hey how do i add those cools things you have in your profile like all of the facts and things --AlbanyParkChicago (talk) 01:11, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Can you clarify which cool things? Abni (talk) 03:27, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Like things about the person like how you have your Jamaican etc. like the fun facts and stuff about the person or does Wikipedia give that ? AlbanyParkChicago (talk) 04:45, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Oh, those are userboxes. Abni (talk) 06:11, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

How do you do that they look really cool and are helpful. AlbanyParkChicago (talk) 08:00, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I would love to tell you in depth but it's 3:14 am for me right now so in the morning (around 7:30 or 45 am) I'll tell you. Sounds good? Abni (talk) 08:15, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I am actually awake now so are you ready? Abni (talk) 19:18, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

@AlbanyParkChicago Alright, let me multi-task the monitor cuz I'm also playing a game at the same time. Abni (talk) 19:45, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

From what I know about you from your user page, I will edit your user page and add userboxes you'd like if that's ok with you. Abni (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

That would be perfect!! AlbanyParkChicago (talk) 19:53, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

What I mean is, how to unlock the pencil icon (edit), to my Wikipedia user ?, Thank You. Cassidy Bobson Alexander (talk) 01:16, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I see that you might be referring to the full protection on your user page. Kindly consult the protecting admin PhilKnight to discuss unprotection, if you receive no response then WP:RFUP is the way to go. Thanks. randomdude121    01:21, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Can you do it for me...? Please...🙏🙏🙏,to unlock the pencil icon...🙏🙏🙏, thank you. I can't. Cassidy Bobson Alexander (talk) 01:25, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, I cannot unprotect the page for you. With that being said, the admin have been pinged in this conversation so you can either wait for a potential response here, or start a new thread on their talk page. randomdude121    01:28, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

How to inactive my Wikipedia accounts, even though is pencil icon is lock ? Cassidy Bobson Alexander (talk) 01:29, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

If you want a break and want to add a template like {{Wikibreak}} and such, without requesting unprotection, your best bet would probably to make an edit request to your userpage on User talk:Cassidy Bobson Alexander, your talk page, explaining the edit you want and adding the {{FPER}} template along with it. randomdude121    01:35, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

I cannot edit (pencil icon) my Wikipedia user. How can I edit it ? Cassidy Bobson Alexander (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Please read above, you will have to contact the admin whom I've linked above so that they "unlock", or "unprotect" (in wiki terms) your page. randomdude121    01:52, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

I use smart phone (powered by Android) Realme, I cannot find “unlock” or “unprotect”... Cassidy Bobson Alexander (talk) 01:56, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

I would suggest quite the opposite actually, by making edit requests for any edits and refraining from editing directly because of WP:COI. randomdude121    14:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for being my mentor. I edited my page this morning. I have been trying to reclaim my name and image to the film work I have done as I noticed someone was falsely claiming to be me on different sites. I have an account with IMDb so I could claim my page and professional work. Importantly my image is in the cast list of each film I have appeared in. I also wanted to say I am still actively modelling but because I’ve mentioned the Company name I have to edit accordingly so there is no intended conflict of interest. How do I do this? Thank you Papillon --Papillonsoosoo (talk) 02:31, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Is your question related to editing on here or different sites, like mentioned? randomdude121    05:14, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Mostly all pages except the protected ones.

• Re: Edit visibility
