This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Why are talk pages so confusing, with no separation of comments or UI? They just seem to be a massive page anyone can edit, while it should have been some forum Skratata69 (talk) 19:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Talk pages are divided into sections and each section can be individually edited. Talk page conventions say that each successive comment in a section should generally be indented by one more level than the one before it.

Does this help? Are you looking at the desktop view or the mobile view? — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah why "generally"? Why does the software not provide a forum like interface, and leave it up to the user to maintain all this? Skratata69 (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you have the time, can you please answer the following too:

How you divided them into sections?

How you marked the help request as answered?

Who marked it as a help request? Skratata69 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, trying again. I thought I answered this before but it seems to have been lost (perhaps I never posted it).

I use the source editor. To create a new section, I type a line like == Section header == and you can use more equal signs for sub- and sub-sub sections. I'm not so good at explaining how to do it with the visual editor, but there certainly is a way.

Also, from the view in the source editor, you can see that a help request is made by using one of the {{help me}} templates. I marked it as answered by changing it to {{help me-helped}}.

As for my use of "generally", many editors do not add a layer of indent if they are answering the prior question, adding on to the existing response.

The Wikipedia software is quite old and slow to change. Often, when a new feature is introduced, a lot of editors complain about the change. There exist sites that copy Wikipedia's content - which they are allowed to do because of Wikipedia's license - and reformat or re-present the content to make it more "modern". Wikiwand is an example. There are places to make suggestions about how the software can be improved. The most recent that I found is m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023. You can also engage in discussions at WP:Village pump (proposals) and similar forums. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

The entire content on that page is licensed under GODL which is accepted as a copyright free license on Wikipedia and sister sites such as commons.

It is the work of an agency of the Government of India, hence it is licensed under a free and permissible license. Since the copyright issue is not an issue due to this, can the article be published? Skratata69 (talk) 06:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Where is the 49.2% similarity number gotten from? Skratata69 (talk) 06:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@CharlieMehta I cannot find appropriate licencing on rbi.org.in/commonperson/English/Scripts/FAQs.aspx?Id=1658 to allow text to be copied and pasted here. Thus, unless a repository of text prior to the publication there exists I concur that this is a copyvio. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is worth asking for a definitive verdict, though it seems to me to cover text what what you have quoted Wikipedia:Copyright assistance lists the various places to ask the question, f yiu feel it is in tghe smallest detail unclear. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:04, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's a great and worthwhile ambition. You do not yet meet the criteria - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants for the list. I am sure you will be in a position to apply after participating in a good selection of WP:AFDs. Keep this in your sights. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
