Socking re Franj

I thought it might be something like that. 331dot (talk) 09:42, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

At least it was bludgeoning...not very clever overall. Lectonar (talk) 09:43, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Question from Diridam (18:41, 3 July 2026)

Hei, cum fac ca atunci când public un articol folosind unealta de traducere să pot scrie un summary diferit de cel implicit? Vreau să pot scrie și „#noplastic” la articolele traduse în cadrul campaniei „Iulie fără plastic”. De asemenea, pot cumva să schimb editarea în cea din „Edit source” când traduc? Editorul vizual din unealta de traducere mai are chichițele ei și pe Firefox se mai strică uneori --Diridam (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Deși eforturile de îmbunătățire a Wikipedia sunt întotdeauna binevenite, din păcate contribuțiile dvs. nu sunt scrise într-o engleză suficient de bună pentru a fi utile. Păreți să fiți mai familiarizat cu limba română; știați că există o Wikipedia în limba română? Poate preferați să contribuiți acolo. În orice caz, bine ați venit la proiect și vă mulțumim pentru eforturile dvs.! Dacă aveți nevoie de ajutor, nu ezitați să mă anunțați pe pagina mea de discuții You need to communicate in English here. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 10:32, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Lectonar. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. So far, there hasn't been a thread about translation, but there probably ought to be at some point. Please take the § Survey when you get there. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Question from Idr888 (10:36, 7 July 2026)

Note: Idr888's mentor Seawolf35 is away.

Hello Seawolf35, how are you doing? I contributed to the page of Patrick_K._Kroupa . There are a lot of information, which doesn't have sources. Is there something I can do or just leave it? and keep revising tone? --Idr888 (talk) 10:36, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Also, I came across this page (Dušan Zivlak). I can not find any reliable sources for this page, the links are just there, and doesn't mention him. What should I do with it? Idr888 (talk) 15:20, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

@Idr888: Sorry for the very late reply. I would leave the first article alone, but for the second case I do not see the notability of the article subject. The safest way to go here would be via our proceess for article deletion. I see you have already done WP:BEFORE, so you can get right to it. Lectonar (talk) 07:45, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Lectonar... Good to hear from you. I hope everything is good. Proceeding with our proceess for article deletion. Idr888 (talk) 16:00, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

@Lectonar I was learning how to nominate an article for deletion, And Gemini told me about the Twinkle tool, in preferences. I have nominated the second page for deletion. I just wanted to know if I have done it correctly. Kindly, let me know. Thanks Idr888 (talk) 10:15, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

I am so old-fashioned that I don't even use twinkle. The nomination looks ok. Lectonar (talk) 10:43, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

O... ok. Not a problem. Thanks for checking it out and commenting for it. It's literally my first nomination... :D Idr888 (talk) 12:15, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

If you want you can have a look at WP:ARTIST...sometimes there's more than GNG :). Believe me when I say that even after more than 20 years on the site, I am still learning new things every day. Lectonar (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

I would definitely look into it, and I do understand what you are saying. One day, I started to go with the policies within the policies... After wasting an hour or two, (wasted because I was unable to focus and understand any of them :D) I realized that even the policies, essays, and guidelines are a vast ocean in themselves.

Question from CivicObserver (14:26, 22 July 2026)

I found that an article have a missing information, and its not being changed for a long time, how can I change or edit the page? I have some credible sources (Nationally published books and research papers) to support my point, how can I do this? --CivicObserver (talk) 14:26, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

And which page would that be? Lectonar (talk) 07:39, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Cochleoid on Sir Henry Martin, 2nd Baronet (17:50, 28 July 2026)

How do you salvage a "quote dump" like the one in this article? --Cochleoid (talk) 17:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I have removed it as WP:UNDUE. Lectonar (talk) 07:38, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Shades of pink

Just curious if you intended to set PC to expire in six months here, as I believe the page was already under indefinite PC? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 17:46, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

@The Bushranger: Thank you, and no I didn't...just didn't see it...*trots sheepishly back to RfP to undo his mistake... Lectonar (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

No worries, we've all been there! There are those of us who have, and those who will. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:07, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
