'''READ THIS FIRST:'''

Because of [[Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer]], this is my advice on quick-moving events.

* Wikipedia '''is''' a historical encyclopedia.
* [[WP:NOTNEWS|Wikipedia is not a newspaper]]: Wikipedia is not a news source; it is not a good source for "Breaking News".
* [[Wikipedia:There is no deadline]]: Editors get no points for making an early edit and there is no added clout here for being first.
* [[Wikipedia:No original research]]: Editors don't need to add something just because they think or even "know" it's going to happen.
* [[Wikipedia:Ownership of content]]: Even early edits are open to other editors making drastic changes.
* [[Wikipedia:Summary style]] and [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Be concise]]: Avoid unnecessary formalism and excessive details.

Thank you.  —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]]

== templates FedRep ==

Hi.  Looking for some help. When using templates for Current US Congress delegations EX: [[Template:FL-FedRep]] it still lists current congress as 118th. checked for all states and doing the same. do you know how to change this?

Thanks [[User:Tomrtn|Tomrtn]] ([[User talk:Tomrtn|talk]]) 14:16, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
* That template, and the templates for the other states, uses {{tl|Congressional Delegation}}.  I've now changed it. —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 15:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

== Talk-page archiving ==

While gnoming, I noticed your user-talk archiver is mis-configured. In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GoldRingChip&diff=prev&oldid=1275953761 this edit], you changed the archive to point to "Example" rather than your own username.

* Oh my, what a blunder! {{Thank you}}. —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 13:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
** You're welcome! [[User:DMacks|DMacks]] ([[User talk:DMacks|talk]]) 14:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
*** {{Reply|DMacks}} and just like that, the archiving started working properly again.  How, in your gnoming, did you find it?
**** Another editor came to [[WP:HD]] to figure out why their talk-page archiving wasn't working. It was a similar problem. So I found and am now working my way through [[:Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage]]. I also pushed for a change in the config template so that this sort of mistake emits a visible red error message at the template location rather than simply an easily overlooked category tag with an understated name.

== Help on these talk page moves  ==

I have come across a new editor who has moved complete article talk pages to "talk page archive 1" (or whatever number) but these moves are wiping out the talk page history. I went to their user talk and have asked them not to do any more of these moves so hopefully this editing will stop BUT... Now there are 5 mangled article talk pages - take a look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Szchalchsz their editing history]. I noticed you had edited [[Leonid Brezhnev]] recently, which is why I am asking for some admin help on [[Talk:Leonid Brezhnev]] and the 4 other mangled article talk pages:
*[[Talk:Konstantin Chernenko]], [[Talk:Yuri Andropov]], [[Talk:Nikita Khrushchev]], and [[Talk:Mikhail Gorbachev]].
If there are any talk page watchers who are admins hanging around (like maybe {{u|DMacks}}?) please have a go at getting these talk pages (and their histories) back to where they need to be because I have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance, - [[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]] ([[User talk:Shearonink|talk]]) 02:48, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

== Anne of Denmark#Relationship with James - missing text ==

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_of_Denmark&diff=prev&oldid=1285777332 this edit] you tried to replace refs with sfn or some such, and were missing a closing }}. Then in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_of_Denmark&diff=next&oldid=1285922961 this edit] you tried to close, but closed badly(?), dropping a whole segment of text at beginning of section [[Anne_of_Denmark#Relationship_with_James|Relationship with James]]. Could you fix that? Do finds on the word "pressure" to locate the problem area. [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 03:12, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
* {{Reply to|Shenme}} Before my edits, much of the text was in <nowiki><ref></nowiki> markers.  In my edits you note here, all I've attempted to do was to swap <nowiki><ref></nowiki> with <nowiki>{{Efn}}</nowiki>.  Regardless, the whole segment of text remains in a note, just not a footnote. I've moved it all out of a note and into the main text, against the unknown intent of the previous editor who had put it in a note. How does it look? —[[User talk:GoldRingChip|GoldRingChip]] 12:22, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
