I want to change the section in the Infobox Colour named Color to the Hex code this have before. I want to change 54BAFF back to 0000FF. SasukeFMS34 (talk) 22:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:00, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done - seemed clear to me. Was changed without discussion and does not match the source so an easy revert. Tollens (talk) 00:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to change the top image collection

We need to be moving away from religion as a way to explain concepts. Suggest we remove the picture as inappropriate. 89.240.48.37 (talk) 20:18, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
