Question from Kankiriho P Tandeka (04:35, 28 April 2023)

How do we upload a profile picture on my account page --Kankiriho P Tandeka (talk) 04:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

@Kankiriho P Tandeka: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've been assigned to be your mentor and should be available to help when you need it.

Getting new pictures on Wikipedia is unfortunately a little more involved than you would think. Generally, we upload the image file to Wikimedia Commons and link it from there. Try stepping through this tutorial and seeing if that helps. I would add that you cannot upload copyrighted images, though for your profile picture of yourself, that shouldn't be an issue. If you get stuck, feel free to follow up here on my talk page. — voidxor 14:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Voidxor. BURDEN is a bit much for the level of stock indexes that are published in tens of thousands of media every day. Yes, cn would be appropriate, but it's borderline WP:PEDANTRY to edit war claiming BURDEN. This content has been in the article for many years and no other editor has challenged it. As such it has a strong degree of consensus, and a citation-needed template would be sufficient. Or, of course, you could simply provide a citation. Please do the right thing. SPECIFICO talk 21:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what it is; it needs a reference. That's WP:V—a core policy of ours. It already had a CN tag on it, did you not bother to look at that? I'm not edit warring. I reverted once; the limit is three times in 24 hours. Also, I reverted because I was following a policy that you weren't. Did you even read BURDEN? It's on you to add a citation, if you are so apt to believe that silly claim. Even if it's true, and even if you can cite it, I think it twists the facts and subtracts from the article. How do you not get that? "Do the right thing"? Shove off. I'm not in the mood for this kind of entrenched "we don't need no stinkin' citations" crap today. You were twisting facts on the article and now you're twisting facts on my talk page. — voidxor 22:09, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Disappointing to see an experienced editor resort to rude personal disparagement, etc. Your interpretation of WP:V is incorrect, which is also unusual for a user of your long experience. SPECIFICO talk 22:46, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Then don't post manipulative messages (e.g. "please do the right thing") on editors' talk pages demanding that they ignore policy and do your bidding. I cited the relevant policy before you came here; you ignored that and then cited an essay (not a policy), arguing the opposite. It even says, "Note that this essay should never be cited in a dispute about whether or not a certain fact is true or not and should not be considered a replacement for the core content policies." — voidxor 20:28, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ogwangobonyo (17:59, 4 May 2023)

Hello, am Alfred I wanted to write a biography how can I edit one? --Ogwangobonyo (talk) 17:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

@Ogwangobonyo: Hello, Alfred, and welcome to Wikipedia! To clarify, are you wanting to edit a biography that already exists on Wikipedia, or create a new one? New ones can be started as a draft first, and later submitted for inclusion in the encyclopedia, but the subject must be notable enough to warrant his or her own article. Writing one about yourself is almost certainly not appropriate. — voidxor 18:26, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I had already learned how to perform partial reversions, and indeed quite some time ago, but thank you for showing me that there's a pithy essay on the subject. I can see from it that I should have indicated more clearly that I didn't consider the other parts of your edit to be worth preserving either. Sorry! XAM2175 ^(T) 17:40, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

That's alright, thanks. I just like us editors to converge on compromise solutions a little more quickly. Sorry if I was snarky. — voidxor 19:19, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Have you ever heard of

WP:BLAR? I don't appreciate your aggressive message. Dead-man's vigilance device has been known to be redundant since 2011. Furthermore, there's already an entire section in Dead-man's switch titled "Vigilance control" which has far more content than this pointless fork.

I have replied to your combative messages here. No need to have duplicate discussions. — voidxor 22:21, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
