I saw you edited a page I created "Dean Kaelin" and most everything was deleted. Can you explain why? I made sure there were links and additional information to back up everything written. I also made sure to look at several "like pages" to make sure the form, information, and tone was similar to ones already published on the site. Anna.kaelin (talk) 14:55, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Anna.kaelin, I'm a bit confused. I have never edited Dean Kaelin, see its history. Are you sure you got the right person? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:57, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello - I found a page of a professional athlete that said the following:

"After taking the ice hockey world by storm..."

and I edited that to have a more neutral point of view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view to say:

"After gaining attention..."

However I received a message from a user saying my edit did not appear to be constructive and was reverted.

I don't think I broke any rules, but since I'm new I want to reach out and get your thoughts and suggestions for what I should do or how I could approach future edits? --JazzyOxygen (talk) 22:38, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @JazzyOxygen! My first quick glance at your edit shows that nothing is wrong. You did change it to a more neutral tone. The edit was reverted by @Freedoxm, let's see what they have to say.

On a side note, if you ever have such disagreements on content in the future, you can take the measures listed at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 04:14, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey, @Bunnypranav. I was wondering if you are able to change the font size in your signature as it can be quite hard to see for a person who may have low vision, like myself, and it can take a bit to be able to see the smaller text. A "font-size:10pt" (or 9pt) could work. Thanks, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 05:43, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Cowboygilbert, I would be glad to chane it to be more accessible (once I get to my PC in a couple hours). Quick question, I didn't set a smaller size per se, does the monospace font make it look smaller? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

@Bunnypranav, I believe it is the font that changes the size. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 17:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

@Cowboygilbert I have set it to 10.5pt. Is this better? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:14, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome! I am noticing different levels and types of citations around Wikipedia and I see sometimes an item is cited with just ref tags and sometimes with the cite web template and sometimes also linked at the bottom of an article under external links. I'm wondering about best practices so if you have suggestions, let me know. One more specific question I have is: Should I mostly use cite web template for all citations and should those links I provide also be listed in the external links at the bottom of an article, or only in the citation? Thanks! --LodroNyimaCO (talk) 16:26, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @LodroNyimaCO, citation styles are usually dictated by Wikipedia:CITETYPE policy, so you might wanna have a read of that. If you're cutting a source available on the web, you can add a link to it in the citation template. The content in the all cite templates are listed at the bottom of the page with {{reflist}} automatically, so you need not add it to the external links section. For a more detailed guide on cite templates, have a look at Wikipedia:Citation templates. Hope that helps! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:09, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

I did not know that bunny. Thank you for telling me. BTW I just wanted u to see my article that’s all. Wikalevi (talk) 13:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Bunnypranav. Thanks again for your technical help! I don’t want to flood the project discussion, but I have a couple of questions that have been living rent-free in my mind for a while, both technical and possibly requiring PetScan or SPARQL.

The first is about country of origin for biographies. Is there a way to determine, based on a category (like "Latino musicians"), where someone's heritage comes from? For example, identifying whether their background is Mexican, Colombian, etc.? I’d love to find a way to represent people based on their heritage, whether they were born there or their parents were.

The other question is a bit more abstract. I’d like to know if it’s possible to estimate how many articles belong to a specific category compared to a larger one. For example, if I want to determine what percentage of musicians are of Latino origin compared to the total number of musicians in the United States and get a result like "13% of musicians are Latino," is there a way to calculate this without doing the math manually?

Please let me know if you can help, or at least point me in the right direction with these questions. I’d greatly appreciate it. Cheers! Oscar_. (talk) 20:40, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Oscar ., I would love to help you out with the stuff that that I know! Firstly, if you just want to filter people based on background, you can just put both of the matching qualities in PetScan. Say American people of Spanish descent who are musicians, put Category:American musicians and Category:American people of Spanish descent in the Categories section of PetScan, setting the depth accordingly (Pro-tip, you can set the depth per parent category, add | and the depth number, see petscan:31976555 for an example)

The second one's answer is related to the above practice. To found out the percentage of Spanish descent American musicians for all American Musicians, just take the number you got above divide it by total number of pages in Category:American musicians (you can figure that out by creating another PetScan with just this cat in the fields, and a desired search depth) and then multiplying by 100 for a percent. 158 (above link)/36722(petscan:31976665 of the musicians) gives 0.4%. Just keep in mind that the second number is excessively bloated due to the all-inclusive nature of the cat. Feel free to refine the data by providing exceptions and playing with depth values.

If you do not want to like handdling these cats due to their bloated or incomplete nature, you might have to use SPARQL or SQL in Quarry since WikiData might provide a more accurate data source. I may be able to help create some Petscans if you need, but I do not know anything about these SQL-like methods. If you want to try to learn and create SPARQL youselves, take a look at the guides at wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/Wikidata Query Help. If you want help with other people writing those try posting at wikidata:Wikidata:Request a query for SPARQL and WP:SQL for quarry queries. I'm not sure if category data is in quarry or not, but if wikidata folks can't help you, just try there once. Hope this helps! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:18, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

This is awesome, @Bunnypranav! I’ll check this out sometime this week and see if I can make some progress on those metrics. Thanks a bunch! Oscar_. (talk) 02:17, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

How do you determine how much of a cite to use, and how come some fields do not display even when you select them, I am trying to display a date of online article (the HotRod.com cite on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Hot_Rod_Association) and it seems like that field will not populate. We are doing these edits for a graduate level class. This is my first time doping any editing on Wikipedia. --Bsides2025 (talk) 22:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Bsides2025 and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm sorry I did not exactly understand your question. If your talking about citation templates, look at Wikipedia:Citation templates for a guide on those, or on the documentation of the particular template you are using. Feel free to comeback with more info if the above did not help, and have a great time here! :) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:14, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank for your response at adding a citation was an article with no previous citations so there was no template with which to follow or stay consistent. Will give it another go! Bsides2025 (talk) 14:58, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello Bunnypranav! 👋🏻

My name is Sarai Sanchez, and I'm a member of the Product Design team at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're conducting a round of online interviews to gather feedback from new Toolforge users on the latest features we're working on. We believe that you recently created a Toolforge account, and that makes you a great candidate for the exploration. Would you be interested in taking part? If so, please fill out this short survey. Participants will receive a thank-you gift as a token of our appreciation.

Thank you for your time and consideration! SSanchez-WMF (talk) 19:58, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Shale, and my Wikipedia page informs me that you can answer some questions for me! I walked myself through some of the guidelines for editing Wikipedia, including the Wikipedia Adventure. I've dived in to making smaller edits on pages I'm familiar with, and I'm starting to see some of the general practices. Much of it still feels like a mystery, though, so I have a question. On some pages, there will be either a comment on the talk page that is very clear on how they would change an article and why, or something along the lines of a "failed verification" or "spelling" tag on the page text for things that are easily verifiable. When do people choose one of those methods instead of just editing the actual article? I imagine it is related to how verifiable or how large the change is, but what are some of the reasons not just edit the article if you have verified the change? --Shale.de (talk) 22:29, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello Shale.de! People may choose to just WP:Maintenance tag as they are unable to fix the issue themselves due to various reasons and adding a tag will notify other users that this article has problem needs fixing. We do encourage WP:Bold edits, so feel free to fix anything you can, and then remove the tag if the problem is solved. If you see any page/section tagged, but does not have a problem, just remove the tag yourself! (Just keep in mind to read through the pages linked to see if the problem is actually solved). Sometimes people with a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest leave the tag even if they fix the issue, to get a second opinion on their edits, it is not mandated, and if you find such a case, verify the page and remove the tags. Hope this helps! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:26, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, that's helpful! Shale.de (talk) 17:06, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of a group of Wikipedians to better understand their experiences! We are also looking to interview some survey respondents in more detail, and you will be eligible to receive a thank-you gift for the completion of an interview. The outcomes of this research will shape future work designed to improve on-wiki experiences.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey, which shouldn’t take more than 2-3 minutes. You may view its privacy statement here. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Sam Walton (talk) 16:34, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

You offered to write some tips for the tip of the day project.

Go for it.

Post them on the talk page, or look for a tip that has duplicates and replace one. Or look for a tip that is obsolete (there are usually one two that go stale each year).

In any case, the community will benefit from new tips on how to make Wikipedia more useful and easier to use.

Hello! I’m practicing adding references in my sandbox using the visual editor & do not understand the on-screen instructions for citing journal articles that have more than one author: “ …can suffix with a numeral to add additional authors.” What does this mean? Thank you. --Tedaman (talk) 13:07, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Tedaman. Basically you can add a number after the param you use for adding multiple authors. Example: first1=X|first2=Y|first3=Z for defining the first names of 3 different authors for the same resource cited. Hope that helps! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Are your instructions for the WYSIWYG visual editor? The visual editor does show options to select fields for additional authors, however when I check & save them they don’t stick. Thank you! Tedaman (talk) 14:39, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tedaman: Huh, my tests stick. After checking the First Name 2 and Last Name 2, are you also typing the name of the authors in the fields that show up on the right panel? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:18, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

I don’t think the fields ever appeared… will be sure to double-check next time. For now I’ve just auto-cited & edited the results. Perhaps has something to do with editing by phone(?). Appreciate the follow-up, thanks! Tedaman (talk) 10:37, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bunnypranav! I was wondering if you could have the bot place the WikiProject Latin and Heritage under these categories: Hispanic and Latino American people, American people of Haitian descent, American people of Guadeloupean descent, American people of Martiniquais descent, American people of Equatoguinean descent, but exclude Puerto Rican people from the mass tagging. Here is the consensus to include people of those descents into the WikiProject scope. Here is the template: {{WikiProject United States}}}} (with the parameter being HLA=yes). Thank you in advance! Erick (talk) 16:01, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Erick, I would love to be able to help with this task. I do also have a few questions to you. While making the lists of pages, what should be the depth of the categories to be included? Basically, how many levels of subcategories deep in the category tree should I search in the above categories to make the list? petscan:31676986 is only the pages which are directly in the above listed cats, while petscan:31677085 searches 5 levels deep. This needs to be carefully calculated to avoid over tagging of not related pages. PetScan also allows for the depth to be set per parent cat, i.e. for each cat you provided, how deep should it search customized to that cat. (Personal experience, 5 might be too deep, though you be the judge for figuring this out.)

Secondly, is {{WikiProject United States}} already included in these pages, if not, should it be added?

Apologies if this giant wall of technical text is overwhelming, I just wanted to list everything to avoid mistakes in the tagging. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:43, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks and no worries! I took a look at petscan and saw articles that wouldn't fit in the project scope like Colin Powell whose ancestries don't come from a country that we cover and I couldn't find the category that caused this. Since some categories are small like American people of Guadeloupean descent, I guess I can manually do those. So maybe just tag the categories for Hispanic and Latino American people and American people of Haitian descent just for now? Some pages have the US project banner already, while others don't, I wouldn't know which ones do or don't. Maybe add this to the exclusion page: WikiProject Hispanic and Latino Americans articles so it doesn't get re-tagged? And I'm fine with the subcats being set as is. Erick (talk) 16:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Actually, instead of Hispanic and Latino American people, can the bot do Hispanic and Latino American society? Erick (talk) 16:50, 2 February 2025 (UTC) No that didn't work either, it included Andrew Jackson who again doesn't have ancestries from a country we cover. Just do Hispanic and Latino American people and American people of Haitian descent for now. Edit 2: I set the depth to "3" instead of "5" so that the bot doesn't accidentally cover articles that don't fall under the project scope. Also add these to the exclusion category: American people of Spanish-Jewish descent, American people of Asturian descent American people of Basque descent, American people of Canarian descent, American people of Catalan descent, American people of Galician descent,Guamanian people of Spanish descent, Hawaiian Kingdom people of Spanish descent, Louisiana Creole people of Spanish descent.

Here's a Petscan I did, which is more ideal.Erick (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

By that time, I would appreciate if you could just spot check the pages in that petscan above to see if those 10,000~ pages need to be tagged, and if most of them have the US project tag in the talk as well (will make my job easy!), this will also minimize the possible extended trial in the WP:BRFA phase in case something goes wrong. (better safe than sorry!) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Additionally, since this is a very large mass tagging job, I think we should get some explicit consensus about these categories of pages to be tagged. You can post this petscan query and link the categories in a new subheading under the above consensus section, possibly pinging its participants. This is just to ensure additional verification for the categories/pages listed. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

No worries, I completely understand. Pinging @Oscar .: to see what he thinks. Erick (talk) 18:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

@Magiciandude I think it would be better if you add a talk notice to the wiki project talk taking some second opinions about the cats being mass tagged, or atleast a link to this page. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:12, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. I will probably do it this Saturday. Erick (talk) 15:44, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

This is not because I doubt your listing is wrong, but just to take a few more opinions before this mass tagging. Thanks for understanding! :) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@Magiciandude, @Oscar . Any update? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 09:54, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping @Magiciandude, and Bunnypranav to help make sense of this. Long story short, last July we reactivated the project (which at that time was a task force of the USA project), and with a small consensus I moved the pages to the page that today is called WP:LATINOS, the problem is that in doing so, the original list of articles that linked to the banner was sort of lost. If we are going to start over, my suggestion would be to have a new banner and clasifications.

The benefit would be, as I think Magiciandude is starting to peek, is to have a better classification according to the definitions we have and also to have updated metrics of how many articles really exist there, the catch is, it sounds like a lot of leg work, but in all honesty, I think any help would be welcome, also suggestions on how to move forward on this. If you want we can continue on the project discussion page, thanks in advance, --Oscar_. (talk) 02:54, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the insights Oscar .. Once we have a template tag, parameters, and a list with least positive false positives, I am ready to go ahead with the tagging. I wouldn't mind having the discussion here, but if you do so, just make sure to post a notice to the project talk. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 04:27, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Great @Bunnypranav! If Magiciandude and I don’t get to it before the weekend, I’ll be starting the WikiProject thread next week, Oscar_. (talk) 05:13, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

I think it's best to do it on the project talk page so that way we can save the discussion for future reference whenever it gets archived. Erick (talk) 00:31, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

@Magiciandude Go ahead, feel free to copy the above section for some context as well. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 03:59, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay, my glasses broke so it's a bit hard for me to see and I won't get my new pair until probably next week. But I'll start working on the templates with Oscar. Erick (talk) 17:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

@Magiciandude No worries, take your time. Just thought to inform you. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 01:17, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Please review your bot's edits, for example on Talk:Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States Congress. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:27, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey @MSGJ, thanks for this message, and stopping the bot. The error seems to have been caused by the extremely weirdly formatted template. I'll make the regex a bit more stricter. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:34, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

This is still happening. Please see Talk:Racism in Hispanic and Latino American communities — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

I have just found a fix for this, with help from Tom.Reding. This will not occur in any edits from now, thanks for the revert! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:25, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Another problem edit: [2] — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:11, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Noted, will take a look and fix it. Thanks for the revert and report! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:13, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

[3] — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

@MSGJ, I have been testing a few options in AWB, and have a question regarding syntaxes. Is this a problematic syntax? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Sorry I am unable to open that link. I will try on a different browser later — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:48, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@MSGJ It is the below:

:::{{WikiProject banner shell|class=
:::|{{WikiProject Latino and Hispanic heritage}}
:::}}

of course without the : prefix, that was added by <syntaxhighlight> markup. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:01, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

That would be okay but preferably the second pipe would be on the first line next to the equals sign — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:20, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Will definitely try to do that, thanks for the response! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:10, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

The issue has now been resolved, such edits should not happen again. Thanks again for the report! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello sir, hope you are doing well. I am Tiya. I am from Delhi. I want to upload a biography article. The issue is, I have made a new wikipedia account in the person’s name and have no contribution yet. Can the article be published in that case on the main page? What’s the requirements and procedure after writing a blog to publish on main page? --Tiya bisla (talk) 09:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Tiya bisla and welcome to Wikipedia. Firstly, Wikipedia is not a blog, and if you want to create an biographical article, creating a new wikipedia account is not required, and even not allowed. Please make sure to declare that account yourself at the earliest, an asked for it to be blocked (that account, not this one) at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, or your actual account could be blocked for violating Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry policies.

Now that's out of the way, do have a look at Help:Your first article for a beginners guide for article creation. Apart from that, make sure you do not have any conflict of interest and are ideally not indulging paid editing (if yes, make sure to disclose it per policies). Do make sure to have a look at all the pages I linked above, they will assist you to properly follow policies and also guide you in your journey. Hope that helps! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for tidying up the redirect with the Vin Burnham pages. I meant to create a draft but accidentally created a page in main space. However _ I have now got the draft pretty well developed and it should be ready to go 'live'. Shall I move it into main space, or wait for deletion and then try again?? Thanks for advice :-) FilmCostumes (talk) 15:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

here's the draft: Draft:Vin Burnham FilmCostumes (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey @FilmCostumes, no worries! I would say to just wait for deletion, since you cannot move it overriding the redirect. If you do want to move it right now, consider asking at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:24, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tebzza 2.0: You can keep anything in userspace, as long as it follows Wikipedia:User pages. See WP:UPYES and WP:UPNOT for stuff you can have and shouldn't have respectively. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:41, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
