When I login using Firefox, something has changed. Despite specifying to keep me logged in for a year, it stopped doing that recently. However, Chrome doesn't give me trouble. This is on Windows 10. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:40, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I have noticed some vandalism at Alexander Stepanov. Namely, User:Icandostuffnow added a couple of obvious jokes to the biography of a living person and deleted the jokes about 11 hours later. The vandalism was done the same day the user created their account, and it appears to be either inactive or deleted. But Special:CentralAuth/Icandostuffnow does not show it as blocked. These are the user's only visible edits (at 2022-09-13T12:04:52, 2022-09-13T12:04:52, and 2022-09-13T21:05:10)Special:Contributions/Icandostuffnow). I just wanted to bring attention to it in case removing the vandalism from the page history is the standard practice for a living person. Would an editor please assist me with fixing it?

how can I find archive date of my url? Rubina12 (talk) 05:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I have just joined and added some information to a page. (Wisbech to Upwell Tram Line) I noticed that it was described as inactive and standard or low importance. It appeared the section to raise the issue and get it elevated was the 'talk' section but red rose sent me a link to the requirements for content which suggests the note I posted is not compliant. If so I apologise. However how does a page get elevated to be considered more important by Wikipedia. If my talk post is non compliant obviously no problem with deleting it. Help would be appreciated. (Cameron Spade (talk) 13:06, 14 October 2023 (UTC))
With the intention of filling in some red links at National Register of Historic Places listings in Roanoke, Virginia, I planned to create an article on a building most commonly known as Villa Heights. However, as the building lent its name to the surrounding neighborhood, there is already a Villa Heights, Roanoke, Virginia article. The building is also known as the Compton-Bateman House, and in doing a Google search to see how commonly that name was used, I discovered an existing article at Villa Heights Plantation. That article is a bit of a mess (with an overlong quote that is probably a copyvio), and I plan on rewriting it, but I'm unsure how to title it and what kind of redirects need to be created. The article is about the building, and while it was likely a plantation home in its past, none of the literature on the subject mentions a plantation. I don't want to appear as trying to whitewash the site's history, I simply would like as accurate of a title as possible, and would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

There are three archives of Talk:The Law of Success which has 5 or 6 total discussions. I think they should be merged in main talk page and archives should be deleted. Sarangem (talk) 16:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

to stop future archiving. Somebody chose a poor archive format for a low-activity page. There hasn't been a talk page post since 2016 so I don't think anyone would object, or even notice your change. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2023 (UTC)I want to do a set of simple merges like those that can be seen in this history page. I extract one or more bulleted points from a stub, move them to a corresponding subheading in the new article, and then convert the old article to a redirect. Repeat until all of the stubs are covered in the larger article and all of the old articles redirect to the appropriate subheading. Is there any way to do this more efficiently?
