Request for AutoWikiBrowser[edit]
Hello @Crazycomputers I would like access to AutoWikiBrowser in order to make semi-automated edits like typo-fixes. I would also use more features of the tool in the future when I become more experienced with this. Thank you. So, I am requesting for AutoWikiBrowser. Nexovia (talk) 06:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Nexovia:
Done. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 19:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
The Albuquerque Plaza in Albuquerque, New Mexico and The Epic Center in Wichita, Kansas[edit]
I did a height comparison of the Albuquerque Plaza in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Epic Center in Wichita, Kansas on Google Earth and the Epic Center is taller than the Albuquerque Plaza. The Albuquerque Plaza is 351 feet to the tip of its iconic roof and the Epic Center is 385 feet to the tip of its iconic roof. 2600:8803:7:9300:795C:7DDE:964F:9CE8 (talk) 01:36, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- @2600:8803:7:9300:795C:7DDE:964F:9CE8: I would suggest discussing this on the talk page for the article. There will likely need to be discussion about whether Google Earth can be used as a reliable source for this kind of information / comparison. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 19:17, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Chris[edit]
In the entry or Leonia, New Jersey, USA (Town), I was wondering if, to the list of Notable Residents (which already includes 4 Nobel prize recipients), someone could add Professor/Writer Peter Manuel, Ethnomusicologist, who has published hundreds of monographs in the field of Ethnomusicology, mostly about the musics of India and the Caribbean. Hugs to you. 104.162.216.73 (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
