Question from The-ragi1481 (10:53, 9 July 2024)

Hi Alex,

I'm a user/newbie editor here. I wanted to remove the "Plot" and "Summary" sections in the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriots_(1937_film)

I tried removing it and my edit was undone and instead an "unreliable sources" tag was added.

I understand that this might be the way things work around here, and that I am not an expert when it comes to movies, but I think it is silly that this film is obviously a propaganda film from Nazi Germany and the "plot" describes a resistance movement defeating the Germans.

The "unreliable sources" tag, in my opinion isn't enough of a fix for this. The sources even show a different poster (The Patriot, 2000) from the movie the page is about.

Since I am new to this, I wanted some advice on how to deal with this, since you have been assigned to me as a mentor.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards, The_Ragi --The-ragi1481 (talk) 10:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, meant to say "Plot" and "References", not "Plot" and "Summary" The-ragi1481 (talk) 11:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi The-ragi1481, sorry for the delay, unfortunately not sure what to suggest here. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 13:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Arogowski cs (17:49, 9 July 2024)

Curious, what makes you motivated to make so many edits? 100k is so many! --Arogowski cs (talk) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Arogowski cs Hi it's out of wanting to help out the general public I would say. Life is busy and gets in the way sometimes, but I like working hard to help out. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 14:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Frankiesinatra on Help:Convert (19:58, 12 July 2024)

If I want to use convert with table display on, can I customize the background color and how would I do so? --Frankiesinatra (talk) 19:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@Frankiesinatra Hi Frankiesinatra, unfortunately I'm not sure how to do this; you can ask at Wikipedia:Teahouse and someone will probably know. I'm not the best at tables. cheers, Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 12:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Weaverenergy (19:51, 18 July 2024)

Hi! This article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_rights_movement_in_India It reads a little weird to me. But I'm not sure what should be improved? Could you please take a look and let me know if I'm wrong and if changes should be made? Thank you! --Weaverenergy (talk) 19:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Pingpong947 (07:27, 19 July 2024)

Hi there,

I believe I removed a poorly written part of a page a while back. Someone has left me a comment saying they removed it due to my lack of neutral point of view. I'm confused on how that works with an edit where I only removed something?

Hope you're having a good day. Thanks. --Pingpong947 (talk) 07:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Fibre H. Bundle (16:38, 19 July 2024)

Hi again, friendly mentor! I'm curious what I should do about the US-centrism of National Coming Out Day. My instinct was to move the page to National Coming Out Day (United States) so I started a discussion on the talk page. How long should I wait for a reply? I think the \{\{Globalize|article|US\}\} is not appropriate because it's about a United States celebration (although, it could be globalized like National Doctors' Day if such a thing exists elsewhere), but I'm not sure if this is considered an "uncontroversial" move, or how long I should wait for consensus before just moving it? Should I just go with my instinct and rename pages to "National Thingamybob (United States)" when they implicitly imply the only possible nation is the United States? --Fibre H.

Question from Bilal9808 (21:27, 31 July 2024)

Dear Alex Thompson,

I hope this message finds you well.

I recently made an edit to the Wikipedia page on telecommunications companies in Pakistan, adding Onic Pakistan, which was launched in August 2023. This addition was to update the list with the latest significant telecom companies in the country.

I am now interested in creating a dedicated Wikipedia page for Onic Pakistan. Could you please advise if I need to wait until I have made ten edits before I can create a new page, or if I am eligible to do so now?

Thank you for your guidance.

Best regards, Muhammad Bilal --Bilal9808 (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
