About lint errors[edit]
Hi there @Bruce1ee, how do you find and fix the lint errors in an article? 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 09:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Have a look at Wikipedia:Linter, in particular the "How you can help" section. Special:LintErrors lists the current lint errors, and on each page linked there is a "Help" button at the top right, which explains how that category of errors should be fixed. Another list of current lint errors is Firefly's report. Installing the "lintHint" gadget can also be very helpful (see User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint for instructions). If you need any further help, you're welcome to ask me here. Otherwise there is a linter discussion page at Wikipedia talk:Linter. —Bruce1ee 10:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi![edit]
Greetings, I occasionally come and make edits on en.wiki, I am normally a patroller on tr.wiki, I need your help as I don't know this place. I can't find the info boxes on my profile that link to my TR page and say "this user is a patroller on Turkish Wikipedia" etc. Can you help me? YG01 (talk) 18:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- YG01, is {{User wikipedia/New page reviewer}} what you are looking for? – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I was looking for this thank you, how can I access the other boxes? YG01 (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- There are other boxes listed in the documentation for that template. You can also click on the category links at the bottom of {{User wikipedia/New page reviewer}}. Does that help? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: Thanks for responding to this. —Bruce1ee 21:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- The categories don't show up for me, I guess because I'm not an approved user on en.wiki, thank you for your help. @Jonesey95 YG01 (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Those categories should appear for everyone. They are Category:User rights templates and Category:New Page Patrol userbox templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help, unfortunately it doesn't show up for me. Our wiki is very different. For example, on our wiki the number of changes etc. is shown on the user page, but not on yours. Also, does en.wiki have the right to whitelist? I'm sorry, I've really overwhelmed you, I apologise... @Jonesey95 YG01 (talk) 16:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- On en.WP, I have a script or a gadget that adds text to the top of User pages like "1,252 revisions since 2005-03-15 (+6 days), 44 editors, 101 watchers". That may be what you mean. It is not a standard feature that all editors see. As for whitelisting, I don't know what you mean. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- What I mean is that while the Turkish Wiki has information about such users, the English Wiki has a blank space... What I mean by White List is that users who do not require version control are given to users who are trusted by us, and the burden of version control is lightened. YG01 (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- You could ask at tr.WP how that information is displayed on User pages. It looks like a customized piece of code that we do not have at en.WP. As for the white list, the en.WP list of user rights is at Wikipedia:User access levels. You could ask at Wikipedia talk:User access levels about the equivalent to the tr.WP white list. We may have the same thing but call it by a different name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 10[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stanisław Wyspiański, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Legion. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Hornby Railways logo.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Hornby Railways logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Bruce1ee,

- "What do people in the UK call 'bridging'?". www.bridgingloan.org.uk. Retrieved 2023-12-21.
- Guide to bridging loans Financial Times. 3 February 2014. Retrieved 27 November 2018.
- Brief history of the bridging finance sector Mortgage Finance Gazette. 4 August 2016. Retrieved 27 November 2018.
- And others.
- The information I've included is not only fresh but also comes from reputable source, including experts who are actively involved in the field of bridge loans. This makes it a reliable and relevant source of information.
- Please help.

- The link you added (hardmoneylenders.io/blog) is not acceptable because:
