This is 94rain's talk page, where you can send them messages and comments.
I want to ask you what am I supposed to do first. I am confused. Today is the day I signed up to make the Wikipedia family better and stronger with our strongly written and sourced articles.
Thank you,

94rain, Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Hello, I wish to write a page about a person what should I do to start with --Rishikaa Tiwari (talk) 16:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rishikaa Tiwari. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people) first. If you think the person you want to write about meets one of the requirements, you can go to WP:AFC to create a draft. Let me know if you have any questions. 94rainTalk 17:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Edited : Draft:Mustata Hawash
Hello , I’ve edited the sources which shows the news for the person itself not his books , kindly check and change name of draft from “ Mustata “ to “Mustafa” as it was a mistake .
with pleasure
Akram AkramHosny22 (talk) 04:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AkramHosny22 Great, but you don't need to delete sources about the book. Please also see Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. If you are writing about someone that you have relationships with, please read WP:COI for declaring a conflict of interest. Just wanted to double check on that. Thanks. 94rainTalk 04:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your respond , however I want to add the previous sources about the books he wrote , could you add them fot me or allow me to edit it so I can provide all links?
Thanks for confirming that. As I said earlier, please read Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. You can use citer to generate footnotes. Thanks. 94rainTalk 08:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright so if I added the footnotes will it get approved ? Is this was the problem? AkramHosny22 (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot promise that. But with added footnotes, it'd be easier for us to see if the person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. 94rainTalk 08:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure , but I will add the footnotes to the other draft " Mustafa Hawash " because this one called " Mustata " by a mistake ok ?
Hello , I am sorry for reaching you more than one time , I also added the changes to our previous draft “ Mustata Hawash “ which we are talking about but kindly edit the sympol t to f from your side
thanks and sorry for disturbing AkramHosny22 (talk) 10:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Charles Jonasen
You mention that there is an issue because the page is a "biography of a living person," but this person has been dead for over 30 years, so it's not clear why this standard has been applied. NorseLord (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi NorseLord. Looks like it was a mistake. I just removed that comment. Thanks for adding another source. We can probably user more sources though. Also the draft is still a bit short for me to accept at the moment. 94rainTalk 19:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How do you create those text boxes that can be seen on various pages that give quick facts about somebody or something(the one usually below the first paragraph of a page)? --Tricks3281 (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I want to edit the talk page for an article (I want to bring up an issue the article has) but it only gives me the option to edit source, which I don't really know how to do. --ImperialSaponification (talk) 03:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi ImperialSaponification. There should be a "new section" button. If you can only see "view source", it's likely that the page has been protected. 94rainTalk 00:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 94rain !
I just saw a wiki page of a violonist that i really appreciate. The page appears in several languages but not in my french (my native language). How is the best way to create the french version of the page ?
Thank you for your help ! :)
By the way, the violonist is "Yury Revich" --Vincesblt (talk) 14:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Vincesblt. I think the best way is to start at fr:Special:ContentTranslation on French Wikipedia. You can input the title of page in other languages. WP:CXT may provide some helpful information. 94rainTalk 02:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, dear Mentor! I would like to ask you for guidance on how to create a page about a company an it's patents? --Drtn.2020 (talk) 11:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question from Vincifer015 (03:48, 27 January 2024)
Hey good day may i ask what yout gender is and what nationality are you ? And i ask where can i put a new article or page --Vincifer015 (talk) 03:48, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Vincifer015. Welcome to Wikipedia! I’m sorry I won’t answer your first question. Regarding creating articles, you can start by reading Help:Your first article. Let me know if you have any questions! 94rainTalk 03:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I create a list of article that need edits on a campaign meta Page --Inyor4mr (talk) 12:14, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Inyor4mr Hi. If you want to get a list of articles in a category / tagged with some templates, you can use Wikipedia:PetScan. For more complicated search, you can also use Quarry to query the Wikipedia database, you can use Wikipedia:Request_a_query to request queries for that. I hope this answers your question! 94rainTalk 16:47, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am an artist that was advised to make a Wikipedia page. I see there is a pop up that says it is "unconstructive." Most of the Bio is informational to be optimized online so that my identity corresponds with me as an artist. May I know where is the template or link to copy and paste https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ta_0003/sandbox
so that the title and page shows the username removed from the top and the page published correctly in the proper format? --Ta 0003 (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi!
I tried adding the following info to this chart using the formatting of the ones above and now the references are IN the chart. Can you help me figure out what I did wrong?
Thanks!

Hi @KnittressKnitsAndRuns. Welcome to Wikipedia! The last line of the table should contain |}. I have helped you add it back. I suggest using Help:VisualEditor for table editing next time :) 94rainTalk 04:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BP131527. Welcome to Wikipedia! You can start by looking at Help:REF. If you have any specific questions, I'd happy to help with that further! 94rainTalk 08:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, you’re apparently my mentor, so I have a quick question. First some background, I found a source about a seemingly notable beach patrol, Long Beach Township Beach Patrol, and I expanded the article on it, but it got reverted. If the patrol was noted as, “one of the biggest and oldest beach patrols in America” by the Philadelphia Inquirer, should the article be added back? --Wranlo (talk) 23:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Wranlo. Claims like “one of the biggest and oldest beach patrols in America” do not directly imply notability. Please take a look at WP:N and find sources to support notability. Feel free to ask me any questions again using your original account once it gets unblocked. 94rainTalk 03:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 24
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.
Newly maintained scripts
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.
Improve a script
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor(pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
/redirect-helper(pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup(pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.
Edit-listings
Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.
Appearance-ricing
Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
Jonesey/common(pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
/AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
/Selective Rollback(pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
/flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
/randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
Wondering why Nathia Kelley is not credited with her lone female appearance in the Robert Plant video "If I Were A Carpenter" from his Fate Of Nations album which came out in 1993? --DWC252525 (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DWC252525. I'm sorry I don't have an answer to this question. Can you try asking in WP:Reference Desk instead? Thanks! 94rainTalk 04:27, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 94Rain(interesting coincide to have been assigned a mentor with a similar name!) My question is- why can I not edit some pages- they have no 'edit' button? --Kentucky Rain24 (talk) 13:05, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It looks like the page I wanted to edit but could not (Likud) requires something called 'Extended confirmed protection" which needs more edits. So it will take soem time, but I will get there :) Kentucky Rain24 (talk) 03:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am wondering if Wikipedia supports bullet points or numeric lists for a more easy-to-read layout concerning anything using a list or three or more descriptions, objects, subjects or 'things'? --Duncan McKellar (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
