Location Coordination
I created an account for the location coordination contest shown at the top of a page I was referencing. I can no longer see the contest box on that Wikipedia page. Does this mean I’m entered? Goatdonkey (talk) 01:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This help desk post is your only edit from this account. Which article did you edit?  RudolfRed (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn’t intend to edit anything. I was just trying to ask a question of Wikipedia. Goatdonkey (talk) 02:16, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * , your question referred to "a page". It would be easier to answer if we knew what page that was, hence 's response. Maproom (talk) 08:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I was on page for “The Paris Murders” tv program, redirected to the French name of the show. At the top of that page was a banner for a contest running by Wikipedia during the month of May. When I clicked on the contest it indicated I had to join Wikipedia, which I did. When I went back to “The Paris Murder” page the contest banner was no longer there. Thus I apparently can’t take part in the contest. Goatdonkey (talk) 08:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, these transient banners that are there when you don't want them but not when you do want them are annoying. Maybe this one was about https://wikilovesearth.org/ ?  Maproom (talk) 09:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for replying; very kind. Another contributor has solved the riddle. Goatdonkey (talk) 17:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) I don't know which banners have been used but was it about commons:Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2024? PrimeHunter (talk) 09:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It sounds more like wikidata:Wikidata:Events/Coordinate Me 2024. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:31, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That is exactly it. I’ve enrolled. Thank you! Goatdonkey (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Reference numbers 2, 3 and 5 are in red - they appear to be citations that are magazines - can you repair please? Thank you Srbernadette (talk) 07:25, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Srbernadette: Go to the citations and add the name of the magazine in the magazine parameter of cite magazine. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 08:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We can't fix this for you without knowing the name of the magazine involved. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Guess: In, the field "title" mistakenly specifies the magazine title (and the article title remains a mystery). And ditto for the other two references. -- Hoary (talk) 12:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like this may be available from British Newspaper Archive. You can use this link to go direct to that issue, but without a subscription, the images are too small/blurry to be legible. Fabrickator (talk) 21:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

How to?
How can this and this and the likes of them be quickly and easily solved/addressed without having to get lost in dozens of so-called help pages in order not to be ignoverseen? I won't read the possible reply (I've already lost enough time) but somebody might take advantage of it. Thanks. Regards. -- 188.76.241.151 (talk) 12:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I've made the redirect at Phailinsiam, based on your first comment. My Arabic isn't up to confirming your second comment. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * They are different types of requests. See Article wizard/Redirects for how to suggest a redirect without having an account. You can edit Zembretta yourself without an account to mention the planet, with a link to List of proper names of exoplanets where it's mentioned. You could have used Edit requests if the page had been protected. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Looking for articles
Just curious. Is there a list of articles under a certain protection level, e.g. 'Edit fully-protected', and where can i find this list if there is one? Garethphua (言)  13:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Garethphua Curiosity notwithstanding, why does this interest you? 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Just maybe if i get the 30/500 permission then i can look for articles as such
 * Was my e.g. implying something else? Garethphua (言)  13:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You can search for protected pages on Special:Protectedpages. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 13:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Garethphua (言)  13:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Im trying to edit the howden school page and it wont let me do it
I try to change the website and pupil number but it wont work 8ftezivyd1u (talk) 14:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @8ftezivyd1u There seem to be quite a few problems with the article on the Howden School: for example the website address doesn't work and much of the content of the page has no citations. Please don't try to add information unless you can also cite a reliable source for it. I'll take a more detailed look at the article in a moment and you can try editing it again.
