2011 Census
Hi Joshuarshah, I see you have access to the 2011 census data on community level. Has this data been published yet? Do you have an "official" link to it? Thanks and kind regards, Grueslayer 13:19, 16 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Five years later and i'm now seeing this :-( . I don't the link for the data anymore but the data is available in the CSO's website. Joshua Shah (talk) 00:25, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

July 2018
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 02:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Can you please help me as I am unable to move the page as I am being told by the software used by Wikipedia that allows pages to be moved that 'The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists' which is true as Mayaro–Rio Claro is being currently used as a Redirect to Rio Claro–Mayaro. Rio Claro–Mayaro Regional Corporation changed it's name to Mayaro–Rio Claro Regional Corporation circa 2015. Joshuarshah Joshua Shah 02:48, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, this will have to be done by an admin, as they need to delete the target page first, and then perform the page move. As I am not an admin I'm unable to do it. You may start a discussion on the article's talk page, or better off, request here (under Requesting technical moves - Technical requests). Best, -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 02:49, 30 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank You Joshuarshah Joshua Shah 03:01, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Coalmine
Moin Joshuarshah, I'm putting up a list of communities in my user space for easy research, and I've stumbled across one community I cannot make head or tail of. Coalmine is listed as a community in Couva-Tabaquite-Talparo by the CSOTT, but on Google Maps I only find one place called Coalmine which is a bit south of Sangre. Also, the CSOTT list does not feature an< other community called Coalmine. Do you happen to know what to make out of this? Thanks and kind regards, Grueslayer 08:22, 26 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Coalmine is somewhere in between the villages of Balmain, Basta Hall and Indian Trail in Couva. Joshua Shah (talk) Joshua Shah (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Got it! Thanks! I thought that was Balmain, but yeah, seems to be Coalmine. Kind regards, Grueslayer 16:53, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
