Cabinet card

Ref number 2 is all in red, please fix if you can. Also, the new photo file is way too large. I cannot alter it. Please add the caption: "Hyde Terrace, Leeds, c.1897 - Cabinet card from the studio of Warner Gothard of Leeds" Thanks and sorry 115.70.23.77 (talk) 00:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both fixed in this edit. Deor (talk) 02:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the caption underneath the photo of the 5 young women, the letter "c" is used to mean "circa" - please make sure the link on the letter "c." goes to the correct page. Thank you again 115.70.23.77 (talk) 04:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The text is made with {{circa|1897}} which produces "c. 1897". There is no link but a tooltip. My browser displays a dotted line where hovering says "circa". It's working as intended. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

retaining account info

i have lost the credentials and recovery email to retain those credentials. Is there a way to retain the wikipedia account if this is the scenario? 122.165.79.124 (talk) 06:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have lost your password and didn't get a recovery email or it doesn't work, you will not be able to regain access to your account. You should create a new account and identify it on its user page as a successor to your old account("I am User5678, I was previously User1234 but lost access"). 331dot (talk) 07:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

editing not working

my editing not working Bhartiya Yuva Sansad (talk) 12:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bhartiya Yuva Sansad, since posting the above, you have created Talk:Indian Youth Parliament. That seems to be a talk page for an article that does not exist. No-one is likely to find it except via your list of contributions. Maybe we could help if we knew what you're trying to do. Maproom (talk) 13:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation? The text has ©NationYouthParliament2024 at the end. 57.140.16.48 (talk) 13:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We were working from 1999. 2409:40D4:2F:555C:B1BB:E5E3:6DF6:DA3 (talk) 04:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have such papers too, we were working as Indian Youth Parliament from last two and half decades, one who complained its I’d showing that it’s fake type, wiki first clear that, this person right or not. 2409:40D4:2F:555C:B1BB:E5E3:6DF6:DA3 (talk) 04:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Equivalent policy docs on other language versions of WP

Hi there. Just wondered if there exists a list - a "cheat sheet", if you will - of links to equivalent policy/guideline pages on other language versions of Wikipedia?

For example, I know a few on fr-wiki because I occasionally edit there, e.g.:

etc. If one exists, great! If not, I would be interested in helping create one. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drm310, where there is a direct match, that is handled through Wikidata, so you can access a list of other language versions at the bottom left or top right of the page depending on the skin you use. For example "Notability policy for a Wikimedia content project" is d:Q4657574. TSventon (talk) 17:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
