READ THIS FIRST:

Because of Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer, this is my advice on quick-moving events.

• Wikipedia is a historical encyclopedia.
• Wikipedia is not a newspaper: Wikipedia is not a news source; it is not a good source for "Breaking News".
• Wikipedia:There is no deadline: Editors get no points for making an early edit and there is no added clout here for being first.
• Wikipedia:No original research: Editors don't need to add something just because they think or even "know" it's going to happen.
• Wikipedia:Ownership of content: Even early edits are open to other editors making drastic changes.
• Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Be concise: Avoid unnecessary formalism and excessive details.

Thank you. —GoldRingChip

Expanded HMSO

Firstly, why? and secondly, most of those it was Her Majesty's not His, so your expansions are anachronistic. And thirdly, you only need to link at first mention. DuncanHill (talk) 22:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

• You are right. But I was interrupted when I was working on this. I'll simplify. —GoldRingChip 00:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

US House elections

Where are you getting your numbers for pages like this: 1827 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia? Wowzers122 (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

• @Wowzers122: It's been 5 years, but I likely copied the data from the existing version of 1826–27 United States House of Representatives elections. —GoldRingChip 12:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

PowerBook 100 under FA Review

I have nominated PowerBook 100 for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. George Ho (talk) 08:27, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:Campaignbox Anglo-Spanish wars

I have readded the link to "Anglo-Spanish War (disambiguation)". Contrary to what you think, this does not create a circular link on the disambiguation page or creates other misery. In fact it is a trick used to fool the maintenance bots to think that the template does not link to a disambiguation page in its title, while it is doing that. But without the redirect, the maintenance bots will start shouting that is is an incorrect link that needs to be fixed. So please, do not remove it again. The Banner talk 15:44, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks for the information. I did not think it created a circular link; that was a different editor. My motivation was to link to a more direct article, but you and the other editors have correctly noted that there is no more direct article exists, so the diambiguation page is as good as it gets. —GoldRingChip 20:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Lala Rukh

Dear GoldRingChip,

I hope you are well. I would like to make some changes to the Wikipedia page 'Lala Rukh (Activist)'. I work at the Estate of Lala Rukh to manage the late artist and activist's archives. our goal is to make information on her more accessible. I have edited the text on the already existing page 'Lala Rukh (Activist)'. I would like to correct the title of the page to either just Lala Rukh or to Lala Rukh (Artist and Activist) as that is more accurate. Along with that, I also want to include pictures from her archives in her biography, which I am unable to do currently. If you could grant me more rights and/or administrative rights, I would like to make these necessary changes.

Thank You,
