Question from Johntheschmo (07:55, 25 October 2024)

Hey Ferien! As you can see in my history, I've been struggling to understand how WP:NPOVN works in practice. Can you please provide insights as to how exactly neutrality should be implemented when a topic is so contentious? Thanks --Johntheschmo (talk) 07:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Johntheschmo, welcome to Wikipedia. I'd personally stay away from these areas for the time being, until you have experience with WP:NPOV outside of contentious areas. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 16:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Kicab (15:52, 29 November 2024)

I edited the Three Prisoners Problem. The change was added and then removed by Burghardt who said it should be discussed on talk page. How do I do that?

Hi Kicab, sorry for the slow response, I've let a backlog of questions on my talk page build up. By the looks of it, you managed to find the talk page, if you need any more help please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you, --Ferien (talk) 22:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Brierforest1 on Temple tax (18:12, 29 November 2024)

I do not believe this entry is correct. The ancient Levites were exempt from The Temple Tax in ancient Israel as they were not counted in the census and were priests. The Levite tribe was the priestly tribe and separated into Cohens who were a higher priestly family that are descendents of Aaron. The Levites that served The Temple. --Brierforest1 (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brierforest1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Sorry for the slow response. Please, be bold, feel free to fix a page if you believe it is incorrect. Content in Wikipedia should have reliable sources to back them up and if it doesn't, it can be removed. Let me know if you need any more help. Thank you, --Ferien (talk) 22:04, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Used Q&A4.0 ~ circa 1990. Age 82, poor eyesight and new technology has me wonder if BroadCom or competitor may have reproduced Q&A4.0 for use on Windows 11 ?

Question from BlizzardHero (10:38, 14 December 2024)

Hello, quick question about linking to external resources. How granular should external links be? To illustrate, two examples: an oral history collection about a town linked to the page for said town (for which none of the interviewees should receive their own page), and a single audio recording in an archival database.

In the first case, oral history collections might be conducted about a subject, but might be too broadly related in their subject focus. In the second case, the resource might be too granular and thus not worth linking to. I couldn't find clarifying examples in the external links guide page, so I'm sorry for asking. Thanks! --BlizzardHero (talk) 10:38, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from MayerBrand (15:40, 16 December 2024)

Some things look a little redundant or maybe convoluted with repetitive synonym use.

I'll try to keep my eye on those and rewrite with proper English so that the most detail is absorbed through the least amount of wording.

I signed up to keep my eye on Wikipedia and donated what I could for now.

Wikipedia has always been very useful In many ways regardless of its information. --MayerBrand (talk) 15:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 22EBronze (16:54, 26 December 2024)

Hi,

Can you help me figure out how to put in a reference to a website off wikipedia that is already referenced in the article? I want to move the first reference to an earlier part of the article, and not break anything.

The article is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_America_Dickson

The reference is currently listed as 3 (New Georgia Encyclopedia). I want to introduce this reference after my edit at 16:42, 26 December 2024. So after the sentence: "He was the child of an enslaved black woman, Kit, and was ultimately bought by wealthy white John Toomer, who had settled in Houston County, Georgia in the 1850s."

Thank you. I read the article about references, but I don't know about the superscripts a, b, etc. --22EBronze (talk) 16:54, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
