I wanted to make the Template:FranceFlagNote template in any French flag articles (e.g. List of flags of Île-de-France) work like the Template:UKFlagNote template in any British flag articles (e.g. List of English flags). But how can I fix this template? SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 00:39, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
|registered=<small>(Registered by the Flag Institute)</small>
. In the ((FranceFlagNote)) template, the switch is set to |registered=<small>(Registered by the French Society of Vexillology)</small>
, so that is what will be displayed. In the List of flags of Île-de-France, I used ((FranceFlagNote|regd|Île-de-France))
(in preview, not saved) for the "Regional council flag of Île-de-France". That created a footnote and a link to https://drapeaux-sfv.org/drapeaux-de-france/ (like this: (Registered by the French Society of Vexillology)[1]). That is what the ((FranceFlagNote)) template makes it do. Exactly what would you have the template do differently? P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 10:28, 14 February 2022 (UTC)References

How to change color of the clock for each day in a week? For example, Monday is orange, Tuesday is yellow, Wednesday is lime-green,… Sunday is red. Thanks for much. Ccv2020 (talk) 09:21, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Maybe some of my problems are due to my en-2(at most), but i think at least a part of my problems are issues of the articles. In Talk:Nonpartisanism#The word "lack" and in Talk:Non-partisan democracy#A contradictory sentence i addressed some of the problems. I was not the first one to state lacks of quality on these talk pages.
The article Nonpartisanism is imho not a low-importance article, since for instance the National Rifle Association article links there (quotation: "Until the 1970s, the NRA was nonpartisan"), and the NRA is categorized in Category:Nonpartisan organizations in the United States. Many other articles link there, some of them dealing with scientific advisory committees to governments and so on.
What can i now do there? For instance, is intensive use of the Template:Citation needed allowed for a Wikipedia youngster (youngster = ~400 edits in en Wiki, many of them m or talk) like me? I do not know sources of information that could serve as references for the articles. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 13:37, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Special:Pagehistory/User talk:167.98.223.66 is quite useless. What is the proper action to be taken? Utfor (talk) 14:26, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
I was looking at East Bay Walls. Some time later I noticed a little window - actually it was a pop-under, hidden behind my browser, advertising McAfee antivirus. I haven't seen one of these for years, I thought they belonged to a bygone era. But looking at my history, it evidently emerged from source number 1 on the article (I had visited the source to read it), a news item on the site "Newser". I just wonder how to react to that: if I delete the source, well, I'd be depriving the article of a source, one which it makes extensive use of. I guess it's only an ad, it was just delivered in a nefarious sort of way through a series of redirects and window data apparently embedded in URL strings. Should I write "warning, contains popup ads" in the reference? Is there a template for that? Or does it not matter? Card Zero (talk) 15:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi!
First of all thank you if you answer this request.
I'd like to know what I should do if I've gotten a request to update something on this page, but I can't really understand what needs to be updated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critique_of_political_economy
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards//Pauloroboto (talk) 15:50, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
I've gotten a request to update something: an editor has added a tag suggesting that the article needs to be updated. If you choose to work on it, that's fine, but it is not a request to you. The article, like all Wikipedia articles, is not owned by anybody. --ColinFine (talk) 16:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello ColinFine. I get that wikipedia is decommodified for now, sorry for my bad phrasing, what I meant to say was rather that I've ran into someone who wants a page updated, and I'd be glad to help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found it interesting that one user placed another template due to the wishes of another user as well. That makes the situation somewhat unclear.
When I'm already here, how does the praxis look regarding when a user creates a template and she isn't willing to elaborate much on how it can be resolved and one has looked at e.g the POV page, but if can't figure out anything more to improve after reading that, how should one then proceed in trying to improve the page? I removed it once according to the instructions on this page, after improving the article, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal) but that was apparently to no satisfaction.
Kind regards,

The behavior is escalating at various articles, including the Critique of political economy. I am about done giving OP advice on PAGs that could help them edit constructively. If anyone's interested in mentoring OP, please begin. SPECIFICO talk 17:56, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
I have moved the page to Marxist critique of political economy. I think this goes a long way to resolving some of the worst NPOV problems and setting a course for possible improvement of the article. SPECIFICO talk 13:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for this response SPECIFICO. It's always helpful with communication. I'm glad that you still want to improve the article even after all this time. I've missed a lot due to the lack of tags, which has made this slightly frustrating due to me having missed that you've written some kind of response.
I disagree with this move completely. And have called upon other users to take a look at the page, something we probably should have done a long time ago.
Please note that there is a page regarding this in german, arabic and spanish by this point. It's hardly a fringe subject and has been around for ages. Marx, Baudrillard and Ruskin is hardly fringe.
However! It's fringe within the subject of economics, but the thoughts that's commonplace in economics is also fringe in the critique of political economy. Hence what you're pointing out does not really amount to much. It's equivalent to saying that soccer is fringe within hockey. It is different fields.
Regarding some edits you make I sincerely doubt that you have much understanding of the topic at hand, but I might be wrong and would like to be proven wrong. However, edits like the one where you changed the definition to make it look like critics of economy claim that "the economy doesn't exist" really makes me wonder.
I also do not think that you really think that critique of political economy is some swedish cultural phenomenon. At least I've never heard of some form of traditional ABBA, smörgåsbord and ekonomikritik, if you know someone who has that's really somewhat of a black swan. If you would have checked the Versionsgeschichte on the german wikipedia you would have quickly found out that it is a page created in 2007.
Regarding this viewpoint "You might be more successful if you would treat your work as falling within the field of sociology rather than setting up the last 200+ years of economic thinking as a straw man. That is certainly not a mainstream approach and it's not likely to be a productive use of your time.
If you are going to read the article without grasping the context within which the authors write, why bother? I'll guess that what you reacted to was the recent addition "A brief sketch of the contemporary critique of economy". If you glance at the footnotes you'll quickly notice, that is if you didn't manage to read the whole topic, that it's a critique of contemporary (mainstream) economics. That you call the opinions of authors within the academy "straw-men" speaks volumes in my opinion. I'll gladly argue about this in good faith, but I guess that you certainly understand that those three topics aren't meant to address every sentence that has been written about economics since 1822.
My only intention here is to spread knowledge, I assume you're trying to do the same. Which makes it hard to understand why do you question my motives? Do you think this debate would get to a higher quality level if I started questioning your motives. Let's talk about the issue at hand.
I hope we can reach a understanding soon enough, and that the opinions of other editors can contribute to a worthwhile process for everyone involved.
Kind regards, Pauloroboto (talk) 15:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
I just spent 3 hours creating an article for Emily James, the American actress that just hit with the DraftKings commercial, and I can't find it now to continue editing. My computer's browser crashed and I had to restart the computer to resolve. I looked at "Contributions", but it isn't showing up. Is there some "undo" I'm not aware of? Did I lose everything?

What is the next step when a user simply recreates a page (with the exact same problematic content) that had previously been speedy deleted as unambiguous promotion (G11)? See the deletion log -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:09, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Is there any way I can take the term truscum off the LGBT-related slurs category page, or any way that someone else could do it? I'm not quite sure how to edit it myself, but truscum is not an LGBT slur. It's slang, and usually used in a derogatory way, but that does not make it a slur by any means. It would be like saying MAP or TERF is a slur. Thank you in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:AF0F:2000:9D40:DF7D:2B10:676F (talk) 23:56, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
