Hi, I noticed you removed numerous image requests. I noticed this for a couple of pages on my watchlist and the requests there seem reasonable to me. Please explain your reason of removals. --Altenmann >talk 18:52, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Altenmann: Thanks for allowing me to explain myself. Per Template:Image requested, the image requested template is "not a general-purpose "no image present" indicator ... Editors placing this template on a talk page should provide information about what images or photographs are wanted". Apparently in 2014, a user added these requests to around 50,000 talk pages, to the talk pages of (apparently) every single Iranian village article that lacked an image (see this category as an example). So, while some of these requests can be viewed as valid (we don't always explain our reasons for adding the imagereq template to talk pages), your average user at least doesn't add them to thousands upon thousands of talk pages en masse using the same edit summary, disregarding the usage guidelines in the process. The massive number of image requests dilutes the template's importance (it isn't intended to be added en masse), and also goes against the usage guideline. Also according to those guidelines, Template:Improve images should be added instead as a ""no image present" indicator". Nythar (💬-🍀) 22:53, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I’m having trouble finding where to make an article. --Mbarthelson (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mbarthelson, to create an article, you first need to create a draft. To do so, visit the Article Wizard. After you've created the draft and improved it to an encyclopedically acceptable state, you can then submit it for review so that it can be published.

@Justchangedmysettings, for desktop users, click "Preferences" on the top right part of your screen. As for mobile, I'm not sure. Let me know if you need anything else. Nythar (💬-🍀) 08:01, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
