Question from Tyri Hansen (23:47, 26 December 2023)
Hey, Ferien: My real name is Per Flaatten; I have logged in under a pen name, namely Tyri Hansen, which is completely fictitious; Tyrihans is the protagonist of a Norwegian a folktale of the same name. Tyrihans is basically, a male Cinderella, but the story is not as romantic as Cinderella's; rather, it's more of a comic mishap kind of thing. His reward, however, is the princess and half of the kingdom. Anyway, I do not expect you to solve my problem, but how can I get help, since i can't even login. I have not found a category of communication, nor of role that can help, except for the name of the mentor (You!) assigned to my fake name. I am Norwegian, but also fluent in English and French, I have a university degree and I'm 78 and retired. In advance, thank you for ?any? help you may provide.

Per PS It's too late yo wish you a  Merry Christmas, but a Happy New Year is still appropriate. --Tyri Hansen (talk) 23:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, welcome! You messaged this to me on your account, as your first edit to Wikipedia, to my talk page, so you should be logged in? Happy new year to you too, and apologies for my somewhat late response. --Ferien (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

From Simple English wiki
Hi Ferien! I am copying and pasting the same message added to your talk page in Simple English wikipedia here too. The reason is that there are lots of related templates, found in Regular English wikipedia but lacking in Simple English wikipedia, which affect the appearance of the script in the desktop screen. Could you please check the same following fonts? Recently, I noticed a template that creates a difference between the appearance of Meitei script in desktop screen of people living outside Indian subcontinent. Could you please tell me which of the following are visible properly in your computer screen?

(1) ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯃꯌꯦꯛ - plainly written without the template

(2) ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯃꯌꯦꯛ - written without the template but with double brackets

(3) - written with the template, without double brackets, as

(4) - written with the template as well as double brackets, as

(5) - written with the template, with double brackets, but by lowering the letter "S" as "s", but with correct Meitei script code "Mtei", as

(6) - written with the template as well as double brackets, but by lowering the letter "S" as "s", but with correct Meitei script code "Mtei", as

(7) - written with the template without double brackets, but by lowering the letter "S" as "s", as well as wrong Meitei script code "mtei", as

(8) - written with the template as well as double brackets, but by lowering the letter "S" as "s", as well as wrong Meitei script code "mtei", as

Question from Chesca1911 on Lynne Marta (15:11, 17 January 2024)
In Lynne Marta’s wikipedia it’s says she was an earwitness to Rebecca Shaffers death. Should it say eyewitness? --Chesca1911 (talk) 15:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I spelled Schaffer wrong Chesca1911 (talk) 15:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi welcome to Wikipedia! There is a difference between earwitness and eyewitness. If the sources say she was an eyewitness to her death then yes it should be changed, but if it is indeed earwitness then it should stay as it is, as that is what the sources say. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 19:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * In Visual editor, there is a drop-down box with Paragraph set to default. Click on it, and choose the heading size you prefer.

Question from Egglions (04:48, 24 February 2024)
Hi there, I am VERY new to all of this so please go easy on me! This is going to sound insane, but how would I format a date of birth when the month and day of birth is known, but the actual year is uncertain? The individual I'm working on was born on either November 14th, 1868 OR November 14th, 1875. My sources are conflicting, unfortunately. His marriage certificate states Nov. 14th, 1868, meanwhile his death certificate states Nov. 14th, 1875. I am not able to discern which of these years is actually correct. Would one simply exclude the month and day in favor of putting 1868-1875, or is there a better way to go about this to preserve his birth month/day?

Thank you in advance for the help! --Egglions (talk) 04:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, welcome to Wikipedia and apologies for my slow response. I would format it as November 14, 1868 or 1875, similar to how it is done in Kim Jong Un, using a note to state the different sources showing different things. Let me know if you have any other questions or need any more help. Thanks! :) --Ferien (talk) 20:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

What do you think are the qualifications that would prompt someone to edit? Is it simply a Google search? Or a local tells you something different.

Question from Caaskoe (16:23, 20 March 2024)
Hello, for a class project, I'm required to make 15 edits to topics related to my research. None of my edits are being accepted, and I am at a loss for how to get anything accepted. I have tried to make sure my edits do not have a bias and use reliable sources. I have even tried to simplify my edits in the hope that some would be accepted, but are all immediately reverted by the same user. --Caaskoe (talk) 16:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, I think has explained to you why he has reverted your edits, but if you need any further clarification, feel free to ask. --Ferien (talk) 18:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from TakuyaYagami (20:10, 20 March 2024)
Hi, I wanted to ask something. I have an article that I want to upload but when I go to create it it says that it has been deleted a number of times. The article is just a battle I wanted to add. Shall I upload it anyway or not? --TakuyaYagami (talk) 20:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, it depends on the reason for deletion of the article you're attempting to create. Could you provide me with more detail please? --Ferien (talk) 18:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just checked, and it got deleted twice due to G5 Twice. Can i still try to make an article on it or not? I don't want to get in any trouble. Thanks. TakuyaYagami (talk) 19:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * , G5 applies for articles that were created by a user evading their ban or block. As long as this is your first account, and you weren't told to create this article by another editor, you are probably alright to create it, however it needs to meet notability guidelines. --Ferien (talk) 20:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kaede118 (07:09, 5 April 2024)
Hi Ferien! I'm having some trouble with a page I'm trying to update about philosopher Gustaf Arrhenius. I don't understand whether the draft is published or under review. Previously there was a big yellow notice that said something like "This draft is under review, please be patient" but now there is no such message, but the page is still titled "Draft:Gustaf Arrhenius". --Kaede118 (talk) 07:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi ! Someone else used content translation to convert an article about the same person into a draft, which replaced what you had already written, including the Articles for Creation templates.

 * Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. As pointed out, the YouTuber you attempted to create the page on was not notable. Please do not attempt to create the page for this person again, as they fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please let me know if you need any more help.

Question from CandleWickipedia (18:50, 16 April 2024)
Good afternoon, Ferien. Does Topper Guild qualify for a Wikipedia article to be written on him? --CandleWickipedia (talk) 18:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Good evening, in my opinion, no, as there is not significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, per the general notability guideline. He also doesn't meet WP:ENT, the notability guideline for entertainers. You may find this page helpful for determining whether YouTubers meet our notability guidelines. It focuses on the notability guidelines that surround YouTubers, often "GNG" (General Notability Guideline) and "ENT" as I have already mentioned, and also gives an ongoing tally of Article for Deletion discussions on YouTuber articles, whether they resulted in keep/delete, the year, subscriber counts etc. Let me know if that helps, and if you have any more questions.

Question from The Happy Potter (05:08, 30 May 2024)
Hi, firstly I’m new at this! I don’t have a lot of time so I need to put links a such in?

The bungaroosh article was previous so inaccurate it was looked at as pure fiction.

The leading Sussex expert not on his 70,s is Neil England.

He actually knew the previous author of the wrong info posted, he was a planning officer with zero knowledge of bungaroosh.

I have know Neil England, where most of the revised info comes from, for thirty five year and he is highly respected in Brighton Hove and the coastal Sussex areas. He wrote a method to restor the banquet hall in the Royal Pavillion and was asked to repair it all. He has worked on hundreds of listed G1 and G2 buildings and is the go to consultant for bungaroosh.

The previous article was fantasy. Trains arrived in 1841 in Brighton and the regency period and the extensive use of multi Storey bungaroosh in 1811….. we laughed so much as ther were no old railway sleeper as there was no railway!

Please can you stop this other chap from constantly re editing the page putting back the nonsense? Maybe he is the author we can’t say but in the interests of Wikipedia it must be the truth! Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing from you. Steve --The Happy Potter (talk) 05:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
