Hello, I don't know if you've taken a look at the discussion at Template talk:Cite Instagram#Fixes for author error messages, but recent changes to Template:Cite web are causing the Instagram template to generate error and maintenance messages. I've tested a fix in the sandbox. It should also provide better metadata and more clear error messages. I'm reaching out since you're the original author of the template in case you have any questions or objections. Regards, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 23:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for creating parent categories at Category:1950s in Samoa, but the populated sub-sub-cat was created by Johnpacklambert who should have searched for existing siblings first, and the set is now up for merging/renaming at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 9#Samoa 1920–1961. – Fayenatic London 12:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lake Topozero. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 153.181.48.17 (talk) 05:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

How is it vandalism? The Russian article is a lot longer than the English article, and has a lot more sources. Numberguy6 (talk) 05:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

You've been adding 'expand Arabic' templates to a bunch of English Wiki articles. The corresponding articles from Arabic Wikipedia are usually full of very poorly sourced content (usually sourced to government outlets and propaganda outlets that portray the subjects in a whitewashed, puffed up way). English Wiki articles for those subjects used to look the same before editors wisely removed all the unencyclopedic content. For this reason, the tags don't seem helpful and English Wikipedia should not aim to restore all the poorly sourced content that was carefully removed. Thenightaway (talk) 21:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@Thenightaway: I will stop adding Template:Expand Arabic to articles. Are there any other language editions that you are concerned about? Numberguy6 (talk) 00:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Numberguy6. Your edits at various 'Expand LanguageName' templates pop up on my watchlist from time to time, most recently the edit request at the Talk page of {{Expand French}}. I just wanted to say I'm glad to see your involvement, and I encourage you to continue. I didn't create the {{Expand language}} template, but I became involved a few years back and enhanced it (especially, but not only, the documentation, which I think is an important part of it) so I feel I kind of "inherited" the role of principal maintainer of Expand language. I'm happy to do it, but in general, it's not good to have something like that in the hands of only one editor, so it's great that you are getting more involved. Doesn't mean we'll always agree on stuff, but that's small potatoes; it's much more important to have more eyeballs and opinions on it. The Holy Grail for me, is to one day unite all of the Expand LanguageName templates into one; that will be a tedious task, but doable, and would be great to have you on board for that. (Not imminent, probably more than a year or two.) Anyway, just wanted to say I've noticed your involvement, and I encourage it; kudos, and keep going! Are you able to get involved in templating at some point? Some years back, I knew nothing about templating, but it can be learned, and now I am very comfortable with it. If you're not a template editor, I totally think you should consider getting into it; you'd be good at it, I think. Mathglot (talk) 08:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Numberguy6, and thanks for your efforts to enhance English-language Wikipedia through encouraging translations. If I may make one observation though, I think perhaps sometimes your addition of these tags are done a bit hastily. In a few cases recently, they have been added to short articles about churches in Sweden I've authored. Of course one could expand the text of these articles. At the same time, I wonder if a) anyone will make the effort, ever, and b) if an expansion really would add very much for the English-speaking reader. In many of these cases (and I here refer to them because I know them, but please consider this just as examples), the Swedish-language articles go on at some length describing the building history at great detail, the gist of which I have tried to summarise in a pertinent way for an English-language reader; or they go into greater detail about who the pastors have been throughout the centuries or some such - information which, I dare to assume, is of more interest to a Swedish and even perhaps local reader than the typical English reader.

My point is therefore that it might be advisable to consider first whether the English-language article, though short, perhaps gives a reasonably adequate cover of the subject, before adding the tag? Especially if you do not yourself intend to actually do the expansion the tag encourages. In my experience, tags tend to get stuck on an article and never go away. Particularly when it comes to minor articles like these. In other cases, of course, there is more of a "real" discrepancy between language versions and I would fully understand the inclusion of the tag (though even here I am sceptical as to whether they have any concrete effect; fixing problems is in my experience more efficient than pointing them out.)

Sorry for this wordy post, I hope you see it as an attempt at a constructive and friendly feedback. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 20:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
