Wikipedia can be confusing—but it doesn't have to be that way! What do you need help with?
|
A user talk page is a page where you leave messages for a user. In this case, this is the user talk page for me—K6ka. You can use this page to contact me.
Think of a user talk page like a public email inbox. All messages need to have a Subject and a Body, and they should be written politely and formally (e.g. starting with a greeting and ending with "Thank you for your time"). When you post your message, it is public—everyone can see it, even though it was addressed to me. I will receive a notification when you leave me a message, and will try to respond to your message the next time I log in.
How to leave a new message for me
- Select the New section button.
The page editor will load. - In the "Subject:" field, enter the Subject of your message.
A subject is your title, not your entire message! Be clear, concise, and short.
Examples of bad titles: HELP ME!!!, Message, Hello, Question.
Examples of good titles: Question regarding the Coffee article. - In the text box underneath the Subject: field, type the message you would like to leave for me.
- Look over your message for any typos or mistakes.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.
To do this, first move your text insertion cursor to the end of your message. Then, do any of the following:- In the editor toolbar, select the
button. - Enter four tilde characters using your keyboard. This will look like the following:
~~~~.
On a US keyboard, this is done by pressing the following key combinations four times: ⇧ Shift+`. Please see this chart for more information on how to type the tilde character.
- In the editor toolbar, select the
- Select Publish changes.
A new thread will appear at the bottom of this talk page with your message.
How to respond to an existing thread
Threads are organized by their Subject. Subjects are written as a Level 2 heading—large text with a grey underline—along with an edit link. If you would like to reply to an existing thread, do the following:
- In the thread you would like to reply to, select the edit link next to the thread's Subject.
- In the editor, move your text insertion cursor to the bottom of the page.
- Type your response.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.

Disruptive IP edit
I noticed you reverted an edit of 2605:8d80:13bc:131c:9917:6bac:cc7e:4dae, they have been extremely disruptive towards any of Sokolov's work and on the Battle of Kursk page, and continue to do so, as you can check the Battle of Kursk page and see that the IPs are in the same location of Toronto.

Orphaned non-free image File:Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4 macOS Big Sur.png edit
Thanks for uploading File:Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4 macOS Big Sur.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Renamed account edit
Hi K6ka :) I was randomly scrolling through edit filter hits & I came across this note you left on Draddex’s talk. I just thought I should leave you a message; as you mentioned in that diff that you’d lifted the block on the account, but it still appears to be blocked.
Apologies if I’ve missed anything. All the best. —a smart kitten[meow] 12:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- @A smart kitten: Oops! Thanks for catching that; I have now actually unblocked the user. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-16 edit
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [1][2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [3][4]- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [5]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [6]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [7]

Besins healthcare page edit
Hello,
I noticed you reverted the changes I made on the Besins Healthcare page, citing a lack of adherence to Wikipedia's tone guidelines. While I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent tone, I believe the revisions I made were in line with improving the article's accuracy and relevance.
I'm open to constructive feedback and suggestions on how to better align with Wikipedia's standards, I would appreciate to not see my work be cancelled instead have some suggestion to make it fit the tone.
Best regards,
Vic01toire
Vic01toire (talk) 07:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Vic01toire, your work is not "cancelled"; it was reverted because it was not written in the encyclopedic tone that Wikipedia is written in. Reverting an edit does not mean "cancellation", it means someone else disagrees with it and feels the article was better before. Please see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for guidance on this; Wikipedia is written by many people who will all eventually disagree with something at some point, and Wikipedia is built as a result of people with differences working to resolve disputes. Using terms such as "cancelled" is simply not correct and may inhibit your ability to resolve disputes, because it implies that you believe other people have an agenda to silence you.
- Your edit here looks like something found on the company's "About Us" page, not something in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written in the style of an academic paper, so it presents the facts "with a straight face", not with the perspective of an employee at the company. For an example of encyclopedic tone, see a featured article and take note of the way it is written. It also removed a lot of sourced material, particularly those in the "Controversy" section; Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. Information that is well supported by reliable sources is what's reported on Wikipedia, not material that something believes to be truthful. Even if you think something isn't true based on your own perspective, that's not justification to remove it from Wikipedia if it's been supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia is a reflection of what reliable sources report on a topic, not an independent curator of information.
- You may find it difficult to write about Wikipedia on these terms because you're receiving payment for these contributions; as such, you have a conflict of interest. Most Wikipedia editors are impartial to the topics they write about, which makes it easier to write in an encyclopedic tone. You'll need to keep your own biases in mind when drafting content about this company.
- I've provided you with a lot of links to policy pages above. You may also be interested in the Teahouse, an environment for newcomers to ask questions; help on writing your first article; and the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, which summarize the core principles.
