Reference help requested. After several tries, I still haven't found the cause of the error message. It keeps recurring in the same place. Bruin2 (talk) 02:10, 1 December 2016 (UTC) Thanks, Bruin2 (talk) 02:10, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello guys, I am a new user to Wikipedia, just made my account two months before. I was going through the facts related to vandalism on Wikipedia and I need to know more about it and to fight against it. What tools can be used by a new user to detect vandalism and how to use those tools properly. Expecting a reply at the earliest. Jayabilla (talk) 04:23, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Dear Sir/Mam,
There are numerious of changes required to be made in Maharaja Agrasen Page:

Reference help requested. Hello! On an article called the "Townville Elementary School shooting", I made a few edits. One of the citations I made contains a YouTube URL but when I save my edits, the only problem the citation has, involves the URL and I recently got an email about it. When I copied and pasted the URL into the citation, it had a dot after the "u" of "Tube" so it looked like this: youtu.be. But when I tried to save my edits, it wouldn't let me so I got rid of the dot (so it says "youtube") and then it let me. But the reason I keep getting messages to fix my URL, is because I changed it. But if I change it back to its original form (youtu.be), it won't even let me save my edits altogether. The URL currently contains what I changed it to (youtube), but also says I need to fix it. The reference link itself obviously does not work because of this. Thanks, Depthburg (talk) 06:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Does this matter? I have posted a proposed deletion notice to a user's page, and they deleted it saying "[needless blah deleted]". I have since posted another proposed deletion on their talk page for another article. I'm not sure if it matters that they deleted it though? --Jennica✿ / talk 07:14, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages.-- John of Reading (talk) 07:32, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I ran across nearly duplicate articles here and here that, I think, arose from a name change. I put a message on @Aaronsimmons:'s talk page but thought that it would be best to get this resolved before the two pages diverge. I don't know if it would be best to merge or just delete one of the articles. Leschnei (talk) 13:10, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 15:29, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I ran across User:168.216.132.237 while trying out STiki. There are 3 recent edits on Xenotransplantation that are all vandalism. They have been reverted, but what worries me is that one of them includes someone's full name and address. Does this editor need to be blocked? Leschnei (talk) 14:39, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
My watchlist has reverted to its old behaviour of only bolding the updated-since-last-visit items for a fraction of a second, so it's hard to tell which they are. Is this because I've misconfigured something, or is it a general problem? Maproom (talk) 23:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Where can I find the guidelines for lists within an article (not for articles that are lists)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.218.34.42 (talk) 23:12, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
