Did he serve as the Commanding Officer of the 2/75 Artillery in Hanau, Germany in 1970 -1971? I was the Battalion Surgeon at that time. Mark R Stein, M D 134.56.25.140 (talk) 00:08, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
I have terminal brain cancer and must use every one of my last dollars trying to stay alive as long as possible. The relentless requests for money are extremely distressing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2BB3:1140:DDD0:B13E:A331:733B (talk) 00:13, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi all, quick question, please. In the following copied and pasted passage from the San Francisco article:
The city is home to a number of educational and cultural institutions, such as the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the University of San Francisco (USF), San Francisco State University (SFSU), the de Young Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Symphony, the San Francisco Ballet, the San Francisco Opera, the SFJAZZ Center, the California Academy of Sciences, the San Francisco Giants, and the Golden State Warriors.
Does the need to be repeated for every entry in the sentence like that? I understand that most of those, if mentioned alone, should have the in front of them, but, I think it would be easier read if it was changed to:
The city is home to a number of educational and cultural institutions, such as the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), University of San Francisco (USF), San Francisco State University (SFSU), de Young Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Ballet, San Francisco Opera, SFJAZZ Center, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco Giants, and Golden State Warriors.
I couldn't find anything in the Manual of Style about this so I wanted to check here. Thanks so much, have a great day/afternoon/night! HeyElliott (talk) 02:17, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Hey, so there are like a billion reform movements in the 19th century, but both categories seem kind of empty. Any ideas what caused this? Is it ok if I just like.. add a bunch of them? I added progressive education just now but there seems to be a lot of ambiguity between reform movements and social movements. (Related to this, do we really need separate articles for 19th century reform pedagogy in the US and Europe? They're both pretty short articles too.) Hobbyvoll (talk) 03:12, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
How would I cite https://pubs.usgs.gov/myb/vol3/2019/myb3-2019-china.pdf using a citation template? Mucube (talk • contribs) 04:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

to the URL to provide a link that will open the file at page n. The n has nothing to do with any pagination in the document: it is the nth page of the .pdf itself. Hence this exact link opens your report at page ten. Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)I as yet see no way to simply say "Thank you for all you do, and Happy Holidays"! And although I am a sustaining supporter, I today added a $100 Holiday gift! Again, Thank you. Tom Tjohnsun1 (talk) 04:26, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
I got a notification on enwiki saying “Congratulations! You are now eligible for The Wikipedia Library.” However, when I click though and log in, it says I am not eligible and I only have 431 edits. I tried logging out and logging back in to refresh my data but it didn’t change. Is this a known issue, and am I eligible as the notification says or do I still need to make 70 more edits? — TheOnlyZac (talk) 04:58, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Please see the edit history for the talk page for this saturated fat article. A user is reverting/deleting/archiving talk page posts in an apparent attempt to suppress good-faith discussion.sbelknap (talk) 14:10, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Please can someone take a look at the recent edits on the page List of people scheduled to be executed in the United States. Long story short a transgender person (formerly male transitioned to female) is scheduled for execution next year. The MOS for these types of pages and the way the tables present this information requires the gender of each person to be listed and there is disagreement/confusion as to how this information should be presented as this is the first time a transgender person is set to be executed. Normally just male or female is selected but I'm unsure as to what should be listed in the table given the person is transgender. There is also a page List of women executed in the United States since 1976 and if executed I'm not sure if McLaughlin should be added to that list either. This news article from CNN lists the person's current and former name: [1]. Please can someone take a look and help clear this up as a lot of recent IP edits have been happening on the page changing the information and it will likely spiral out of control as the date draws nearer. Thanks. Inexpiable (talk) 17:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome and thank you for your question about donations! To hide the fundraising banners, you can create an account and uncheck Preferences → Banners → Fundraising. The Wikimedia Foundation does not track the identity of IP addresses, so it doesn't know your age, income level or whether you donated in the past.
None of the Wikipedia volunteer editors here who add and improve content in articles receive any financial benefit. We all simply contribute our time because we care about building a great encyclopedia for you and innumerable others around the world to use.
If you cannot afford it, no one wants you to donate. Wikipedia is not at risk of shutting down, and the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts the Wikipedia platform and is asking for these donations, is richer than ever.
You are welcome to communicate directly with the donor-relations team by emailing donate@wikimedia.org

I messed up - I created a new page for the art game Game, game, game and again game but hadn't realised that the work already had a page that was a redirect to the author page. So I removed the redirect and moved the content I wrote to the first page - but I must have messed up the redirect because now it redirects to itself. The only difference between the two pages seems to be the capitalisation. (I should have checked that of course).
Could someone please help me and delete or properly redirect the messed up page?
Game, Game, Game And Again Game is the messed up page.
Game, game, game and again game is the correct page.
Thank you!! Lijil (talk) 19:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Paintings of Venice (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) I don't know where to start, what advice to give, what action to take - maybe draftify? Could someone perhaps with NPP experience step in? NebY (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Does removing the Uncategorized Template (after just having published an edit in which I have categorized an article) a minor edit by itself? I couldn't manage to find an answer in Help:Minor edit so I'm asking you all :) 3point1415 (talk) 20:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
You've got an image problem.
I bought 100 Zimbabwe million dollar bills on feebay.
I put each one in an envelope and sealed them with a sticker with the URL to the Wikipedia Zimbabwe hyperinflation page. As an explanation that they were real bills.
As xmass presents I put one in the in-boxes of everyone in my building. 60 people.
I'm getting complaints.
People think it's a scam. They went to Wikipedia and got hit with a plea for money.
And I can't convince them otherwise. 75.97.208.201 (talk) 21:28, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
I have found a photobook with 70 photos of the Mohmand Field Force in 1908, belonging to my great grandfather. He was a British Army officer serving in India. How can I make these photographs available to anyone with a valid interest? Ping503952 (talk) 21:32, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
