Hi, hope you don't mind, but I thought it might be useful to change the title of your very useful Inline messages table to "Inline Citations". I was going to be cheeky enough to edit it myself, but Wikipedia won't allow me to do so, because I prefer not to register.

BTW, I came to your talk page in response to seeing your welcome to me a couple of years ago, regarding my edits on the 2020 Olympics (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:95.145.205.179&diff=cur) 95.145.86.121 (talk) 15:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Hi lo My automatic signature which is in red is SueoftheAntipodes but when I hover my mouse over it it says 'page does not exist'. What does that mean? Perhaps that is the reason nobody replies to my questions about revising the page on Nick Kyrgios? It is in need of major changes and edits but no volunteers seems to be willing to do anything or discuss anything. How do I make my page exist? ! Thanks.SueoftheAntipodes (talk) 23:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SueoftheAntipodes - The message "page does not exist" simply means that nothing has been written on that page yet. You can easily fix that by writing something there yourself. Typically people start off by writing a sentence or two about the areas they plan to be editing in. Just click on the red link, and go for your life. As for why nobody else has responded to your Kyrgios comments, that's just a result of the fact that we ARE all volunteers. There are no major tennis tournaments on right now, so interest is low, just as in the major media. Sometimes you have to wait a while for more responses.

Hi, I have just received a message telling me that I will be blocked next time I write something about Nick Kyrgios because they can't believe I am not involved. Pity. He has been making some very interesting podcasts in USA for the last four weeks about mental health so I have been putting these in his 'film and tv' page. I had collected material for the racism section (which includes ethnic and other reasons for being discriminated against) but I guess they won't like that either. So It's probably goodbye. Maybe someone else can update the Kyrgios page. It's strange that nobody else seems to want to bother but when I did they get really upset? He's very high profile and wikipedia has to get it right.SueoftheAntipodes (talk) 18:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I appreciate your invitation to join Wikipedia but I'm afraid I must refuse, I have account that I've not used in years and I don't plan to again. My actions are solely for typos, vandalism and talk pages, I am not confident in doing anything else. But still, from the bottom of my heart thank you, and I wish you a great decade, friend. 92.236.211.53 (talk) 20:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello HiLo. I just wanted some advice from someone who trawls school websites at times. I attempted to add Ruby Roseman Gannon to Northcote High School's page and the citation keeps throwing up an error. I can't stare at it any longer! When you have time can you have a look?

Nickm57 - Sorry, but I don't think I can help there. That style of referencing is something I have never properly mastered. Maybe you could take your question to the Wikipedia:Help desk. Good luck. HiLo48 (talk) 10:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Will do. Nickm57 (talk) 10:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hillo HiLo48! I saw you created an article on Ben (Armenian letter). There you dated it "since 405/406". However, as to my knowledge, official/best-of-human-knowledge/commonly agreed date is that all original 36 letters of Mesropian alphabet were "created" in 405. => Why put "/406"? Is there some scientific puzzle or uncertainty? If not, I will correct it.

BTW, thank you for creating the article in the first place! I am slowly making articles of the Alphabet and its letter more accurate and, where possible, informative) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregory108 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Gregory108 - I think you may be mistaken. I didn't create that article. HiLo48 (talk) 02:51, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

huh... Indeed. Something weird happened: I clicked on the author-creator (Andromeda) and eventually came here=(

Sorry for disturbance, my mistake (somewhere)! Gregory108 (talk) 03:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Here is the page of the creator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Artemis_Andromeda - and there the link via "my talk page" leads to you. Gregory108 (talk) 03:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
