Hello EmpAhmadK, I heard from Chlod (who's at the ceremony) that it's someone who could connect the community that got the award, and I do really like to know them, but I think that we will never find their true identity :( —— Eric Liu_{（Talk・Guestbook）} 18:35, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Mensah Loveland (14:26, 24 July 2026)

Hello , how can i get my Wikipedia link --Mensah Loveland (talk) 14:26, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Mensah Loveland! Do you mean a Wikipedia article? These are only available for people who pass Wikipedia's notability criteria; not all people can have Wikipedia articles. Chlod (top • contribs) 06:42, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Hi my name is furozone on User:Hi my name is furozone/sandbox2 (22:25, 25 July 2026)

hi how do i change my sandbox page name --Hi my name is furozone (talk) 22:25, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Hi my name is furozone! Head over to Special:MovePage/User:Hi my name is furozone/sandbox2 (or click on the "Move" button on the "Tools" sidebar") and change the title there. Please do keep the Hi my name is furozone/ segment, as this ensures that your sandbox remains within your user space. In other words, only change sandbox2 to whatever you'd like. Hope this helps!

An original barnstar for you!

		The Original Barnstar
		Hello Chlod! An Original Barnstar for you! Congratulations on your acknowledgment as the Community Connector, Wikimedian of the Year 2026 honoree. Thank you for all the work you’ve done and continue to do! I’m a Signpost contributor and I’m editing an article: Meet the Wikimedians of the Year 2026! Here is the current draft, open for copy editing: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/News from Diff I didn’t edit the WMF words, just added links and pictures to add more information to everyone’s story. Just wanted to bounce it off you incase you have any edit suggestions or comments. Congratulations again! Wil540 art (talk) 18:34, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Wil540 art! I've read the article and it looks great to me. Thank you for your hard work! :D Chlod (top • contribs) 05:40, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from TheVento (13:16, 28 July 2026)

Hi!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Agapeyeff_cipher says "The D'Agapeyeff cipher is an unsolved cipher". I think I solved it. Shall I put my results on wikipedia, or dou you suggest any other kind of verification first? Thank you and best regards... Vento. --TheVento (talk) 13:16, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @TheVento! Wikipedia is usually not at the forefront of discovery. We avoid original research and only ever cover what is published in reliable (usually secondary) sources. We're not the right venue for this, and I'm not exactly sure where the right venue would be; maybe try academia? Chlod (top • contribs) 05:47, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from MosaicMind (08:38, 29 July 2026)

Hi Chlod,

I have an issue on a page I wrote, Jogakbo. It indicates that the article may incorporate text from an LLM.

The original content was the Korean page of ko:조각보. I translated it into English with help of an AI tool, then added a lot more, extra citations and other sources which I verified one by one. I'm not sure how to get this tag removed. Could you take a look when you have time, and let me know if there's anything I still need to do?

Thanks! --MosaicMind (talk) 08:38, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @MosaicMind! I see that Grapesurgeon has already removed the tag from the article, so this has been resolved. Please let me know if you have any other concerns. Thanks! Chlod (top • contribs) 05:53, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Twig Sigmund (19:52, 29 July 2026)

if i edit tone in a way that still ends up being off because i have misinterpreted something, will i get punished for that? I am doing my best to make good quality edits but I fear that my tone may come off as callous. --Twig Sigmund (talk) 19:52, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Twig Sigmund! Sanctions on Wikipedia are preventative, not punitive and we do our best to assume good faith. You shouldn't need to worry about getting punished unless you keep breaking a rule after multiple notices from others. Chlod (top • contribs) 06:06, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Mantreeorg (19:37, 30 July 2026)

Hello Everyone what are you doing now. Am doing good for every moment. I want to communication for skill work --Mantreeorg (talk) 19:37, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Mantreeorg! I'm doing good. Is there any question that you might have about Wikipedia? Chlod (top • contribs) 06:09, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Twig Sigmund (21:25, 31 July 2026)

Am i allowed to copy a list from a source, where there is no words other than the content of the list (in this case a list of soldiers involved in the boarding of U-744)? --Twig Sigmund (talk) 21:25, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

where there ARE no words Twig Sigmund (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

@Twig Sigmund: If you're copying the whole list, at some point you'll need to find out if this is content that is appropriate for Wikipedia or not. Chlod (top • contribs) 22:56, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

so then adding the list as a reference (as there is no other reference to the list) would be better? Twig Sigmund (talk) 00:11, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

@Twig Sigmund: Yes, since it doesn't involve copying the whole list. Chlod (top • contribs) 08:09, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

DCWC August update

The 2026 Developing Countries WikiContest has been running for a month now, so let's check in with the competition so far!

As of the time of writing, our top contestants are:

1. Vanderwaalforces (submissions) ahead of the pack with 715 points, with two FAs and many GAs on the monarchs of the Kingdom of Benin;
2. Simongraham (submissions) with 291 points, mostly with GAs on jumping spiders, alongside various GAN and FAC reviews;
3. Jaguarnik (submissions) with 240 points, mostly from an FA on the 1945 film Ivan the Terrible;
4. Grnrchst (submissions) with 215 points, mostly from GAs on anarchist history in various countries, alongside many GA reviews, and;
6. Vestrian24Bio (submissions) tied for 4th with 215 points, with an FL and four GAs on Indian cricket!

These competitors are in the lead, but if past experience is any indication, big shake-ups might still await us in the contest. If you're looking for a way to boost your position, we got a table of review requests from fellow participants—you can rack up a lot of points through reviews, and it might just convince others to review your own nominations! You can also look through the eligible reviews page to find other articles to review, with highlights for articles eligible for the 1.5× multiplier. The coordinators would like to thank Jaguarnik (submissions) for his work to keep this page up to date.

Thank you so much for all your work in the contest so far, dear participants, and keep on the good fight against systemic bias on our wiki! Have any questions? Leave a message on the contest talk page or send it to one of our wonderful coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), Generalissima (talk · contribs), Magentic Manifestations (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), and TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Question from AncestorsRUS (16:57, 9 August 2026)

Hello, I just signed in as a member - AncestorsR Us, and I also have a guest member ID of Frank.6856. Should these be merged? --AncestorsRUS (talk) 16:57, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

@AncestorsRUS: Hi, I don't see an account registered under the name Frank.6856. Do you mean this on another website? Chlod (top • contribs) 07:46, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Good article nominations RfC

Hi Chlod,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Snqobile Dladla on Thamsanqa Mnyele (12:06, 16 August 2026)

Can you write essays for about what challenges did in your profession face because of bantu education act of 1953 about Social artists during apartheid --Snqobile Dladla (talk) 12:06, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Snqobile Dladla! Unfortunately, you are asking questions to a Wikipedia editor and not Thamsanqa Mnyele. Please do this research on your own. Thanks! Chlod (top • contribs) 13:28, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
