We don't usually link entire countries or commonly known languages. I have no particular horse in this race so I don't care. Just letting you know. Elinruby (talk) 00:57, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Elinruby: thank you; I don't think this is a serious mistake, right? JacktheBrown (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not at all. Purely for your information. I had to say something to start the section. It would have been better not to make it right there, but it is not a serious mistake at all. Has any one ever talked to you about the Manual of Style?
- So let's take it here now. I am no kind of admin so feel free to tell me to buzz off. But I am trying to help. Is the bottom line here that you sometimes get over-caffeinated and chatty? Or that you have a lot of questions and don't always remember the answers? Or what? I may have a good suggestion if I can understand the issue. Maybe. Elinruby (talk) 01:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Elinruby: it's not easy to explain: I would like to look for people to collaborate with to improve the articles I work on, but also for other reasons, such as not knowing a particular thing, or whatever. JacktheBrown (talk) 01:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- And you mostly edit food articles I take it? Not a lot of regulars, I guess, or no Project Italian food? If you are looking for interaction, you probably should join a big wikiproject. Which one would depend on your interests. I would leave the helpdesk alone for a while and take some time to read the Manual of Style so you can get up to speed on the policy on English dialects. The guy talking about cookie vs biscuit has a point. Fewer of those mistakes would be good. While they are understandable in someone whose English ieres a second language, if you are making a lot of that type of edit, the annoyance may boil up fast. It would give you fewer reasons to bug the Helpdesk, anyway, which is feeling visited enough by you, and that would probably be good. For questions of fact not related to Wikipedia you want the reference desk not the helpdesk or the Teahouse. If I am around you can ask me as long as you don't offended if I say I do not have time right then. There is always WP:PNT, which afaik still does not have any Italian regulars, and could use for some bad translations from Italian to get assessed, as in, is this person even notable in the first place? Assuming of course that you have read the notability policy. However that would not get you much interaction, and I should warn you that there are all sorts of minefields in translation, so you probably don't want that to be your next project. However, another way to ask fewer questions would be participating more in areas where you don't have to ask questions, becausie you would be the local subject matter expert. Hope some of this helps.

- @Elinruby: thank you, but my idea remains the same: exclude any type of question, except for the article discussion pages; it doesn't mean "I will do it", but "I will do my best to do it". JacktheBrown (talk) 14:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- PS you had the right idea removing the bold -- it can come across as insulting or aggressive -- but they generally frown on comments being edited once someone has responded to them, fyi. Probably not a substantive enough change that anyone cares, though; I am just letting you know. Driveby guardian angel says there is a hole in the road there. I am getting up from my computer now. Listen carefully to whatever it is that they tell you at ANi. A page block would not be the end of the world but you may be able to avoid it if you tell them you plan to act like you have one anyway. Don't do that unless you are sure you can, though, as it would be really bad for someone to complain about you from there after you said that. Elinruby (talk) 02:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Re: Marinara sauce
I don't know, I can't help you, I don't know the nomenclature policies of Wikipedia articles in English. LukeWiller (talk) 07:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC).

hi @JackkBrown; I sent a message in the talk page of the article. I would like to have your response and to understand your position. Could you have a look please? 81.185.169.191 (talk) 12:30, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Re: MOS:CAPTIONS
Okay, I'll pay attention. Regards. LukeWiller (talk) 13:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC).

Hi, I noticed you moved the page they created to Draft:Delete this, dispregiative page. I'm not sure, but isn't WP:G3 a better option? or is there something I'm missing? 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 17:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @BalaM314: yes, but i wanted to quickly remove the insult. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
