Question from Rockawaypoint (06:43, 16 March 2026)
Hi, I have not done anything at all on Wikipedia in a long time after having an 'experience' last year over the topic of "Vinland", and the debate over its location. Could you please help me figure out where things stand today? Many thanks. --Rockawaypoint (talk) 06:43, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Rockawaypoint, do you mean learning about Wikipedia in general, or specifically about that topic? Sorry to hear you feel discouraged. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 18:07, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- About a year ago I was attempting to add information about New England's role in the long running debate over Vinland's location, but some people had a conflicting view and wanted to see sites in Canada 'take priority' in a manner of speaking. Yet most academics believe Vinland was in New England, even though proof has not been found yet. I was "restricted" in some way from posting, but just on that one subject I believe. Could you tell me where things stand today? What restriction may be in place today - if any? It's really odd that the New England theory, which is so well established, is so opposed by many people on Wikipedia. Rockawaypoint (talk) 18:46, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Question from 97.Përçêñt (16:59, 17 March 2026)
Hiya. I have a question on editing, as I'm pretty new to this stuff. How do I link things? Like when the word "Molasses" gets highlighted in blue, and clicking on it brings you to the site for Molasses? --97.Përçêñt (talk) 16:59, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi 97.Përçêñt, you can link using [[these brackets]]. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 14:44, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
Question from Danshiels (14:38, 21 March 2026)
Is it possible to add Family History Biographies here? --Danshiels (talk) 14:38, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Danshiels, we do biographies here but there are various rules regulating them, which I can help with. Who are you planning to write about? Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 18:04, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
