Here's a link to what I've translated so far https://docs.google.com/document/d/146PmtIMWvXbBy2oTR5pzqkX0Go8H2OpmnVkqDbjeL70/edit?usp=sharing Annwfwn (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you! This is really interesting! SpookMew (talk) 01:47, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'd love to, but it may be quite delayed. I'm currently recovering from a brain tumor resection and my vision and energy aren't great. Today is my first time on wikipedia in months! Annwfwn (talk)

@JoeNMLC:Greetings, Asking for Userbox - Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub improvement, I cloned ((User WikiProject Buses)) (I'm a great cloner). The wikicode with "pre" is here. This may or may not be correct, and I know zero knowledge about how to install the right way. So I'm asking for your help. Thanks, JoeNMLC (talk) 22:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks great, I played with your first box changing "| info-a = (({info-a|center))}" to "| info-a = center." You could add a border-s value to change the thickness of the surrounding box and I made the Wiki letter bigger since I'm vision impaired. Example:

Hi Annwfwn, Thanks for doing this request. Two things, the "br" needs to be moved to the left of the word "of"; the two-color shade appears on left side but is transparent on right side of the userbox. Is it Ok to create this as subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub improvement so it's with the WP instead of me? JoeNMLC (talk) 00:30, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oh yeah, all those weird spaces. How does it look now? And yes, the project is fine to use, you can use a Wikipedia project, template or a user. Annwfwn (talk) 00:52, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done - Thanks Annwfwn for your help. Now I will create the Userbox subpage at the wikiproject. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 03:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

* Update - I did create Userbox as a Template, not subpage & it's Ok. FYI, those Userbox colors came from "Bubble colors" for Stub-class. Before it's archived, I did copy/paste here of that color spectrum. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 18:39, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

On 10 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alopekis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Alopekis), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Levan II Dadiani, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Abkhaz. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for your contributions, attentiveness to detail and proposals worthy of discussion. (Productive editors should get occasional general thanks, in my opinion.) I looked at your user page and saw you were having medical issues. I can relate to that. I hope you are recovering and will be doing well now and in the future.
