What should I do if talk pages contain no prior warnings but contain content that doesn’t belong in a talk page? Example: [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by James-the-Charizard (talk • contribs) 01:51, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Madam, Several weeks ago I've published an article about Jiri Evenhuis but it is not showing in any search engines. Could you please advise on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, T --Trudelies (talk) 07:45, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
About a week ago I noticed that every search of global contributions turned out empty. I use the link at the bottom of a user contributions page, and the results are the same no matter if the user has an account or not. What's going on? Sjö (talk) 10:08, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
There was something like NO BOT EDITS sort of template to be kept on the talk page if desired. Can someone point me to that. thanks. --DBigXrayᗙ 12:57, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

I've been wanting to find an image to use in the article Jim Verraros. The subject of the article is pretty active on Twitter [3], so several months ago, I signed up for Twitter and asked him if he'd be willing to donate a photo or two for use on Wikipedia. A month or so later he liked my tweet, but didn't respond. I took that as an indication that he might be interested in helping out, so I sent him a followup explaining how he could release photos under the necessary Creative Commons licenses. But because of Twitter's character limit, I couldn't fit everything in a single tweet, and because I've barely ever used Twitter before, I'm not sure how to properly create a "thread" of tweets. I don't think that I formatted things correctly. I have no idea whether or not Verraros ever saw my followup, but he never responded.
I don't want to message him again myself, because I don't want to start pestering him. But I've been wondering whether someone who actually knows how to use Twitter would be willing to give it another try. He seemed to indicate some level of interest in helping with this, and so maybe if a second person asks him, he'll respond. It seems to me like it's at least worth a shot anyway.
I put the "image requested" template on the article's talk page, but I know that it can oftentimes take years for that to yield any results, if ever. I understand if no one's able to help out, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here. Thanks. --Jpcase (talk) 14:19, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
On Shamsheer vayalil Wikipedia there is an infobox. In that his net worth is indicated as 1.4 billion dollars. Below that infobox a line is also written in which his net worth is indicated as 1.4 billion dollars.
Main problem is that it is very difficult to identify the net worth is in United States dollars or Australian dollars.
I know that it is in United States dollars but I can't add this information in the infobox and also in the line below the infobox because l don't have a Wikipedia account. Someone please! fix this problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4064:192:6557:BF35:CB02:3402:EC0D (talk) 16:25, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
The editor who just now added"US" in Shamsheer vayalil 's net worth(in the net worth column present in the infobox and the line written below the infobox) has done a great job. But the editor did a mistake he added" US " after the net worth. It should be added before the dollar sign. So, I request the editor to correct this small mistake
Note: other editors who are interested to correct this may do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4064:192:6557:7211:F0B0:95B0:F1C (talk) 17:33, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello, is there a way to get rid of that ugly spacing above the column formatting at Boys'_Night_Out_(film)#Cast? (Ideally, please ping when answering – thanks in advance!)--Hildeoc (talk) 19:21, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
@Hildeoc and Orville1974: It looks like @Trappist the monk: fixed the issue. Please check it out to see if its working now. OkayKenG (talk) 20:10, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
I know it's no big deal, but how come in Template:Plainlist/doc#Parameters, the table border to the left of the first table element List content
appears to be darker than the remaining table border?--Hildeoc (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
"suggested": true
means. If the field is required (not just optional) and the value "required": true
is set , the border will appear black. Normal border color means the value is optional, "suggested":
is set to false
or just not defined. – Ammarpad (talk) 06:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)And one last issue for today: How come at Zeno_of_Elea#External_links, the Wikiquote entry keeps slipping into the same line as the Wikisource entry, although I used Plainlist formatting. I don't get it! Hoping for support,--Hildeoc (talk) 20:53, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
