Few tips & tricks

When page number does not make sense use {{sfn|Fine|2009b|loc=§ Poglavlje II}} !

In that case, the page number does not make sense. If you want to make it explicit where the revelant text is located in longer online sources, you can use the parameter "loc" instead of "p" to indicate the section. For example, you could use "{{sfn|Fine|2009b|loc=§ Poglavlje II}}".

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bosnian genocide denial into Milorad Dodik. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Diannaa, I was sort of aware of this but didn't know that it's required to do something in that regard. So, basically, this copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution would suffice and can be used as a template in edit-summary (if copied text is short or not substantial) and in TP (if there is a lot of copied text). I think that in this case - Bosnian genocide denial > Milorad Dodik - I am a sole contributor of copied text, and it is not particularly intricate narrative it's more of a listing, but if I understood correctly, in case of being sole contributor then, maybe, it could be unnecessary. Please, just to be on the safe side, let me know if I understood this correctly? Thanks again, and stay safe.--౪ Santa ౪99° 15:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Santasa99. The edit summary is mandatory whether you place a template on the talk page or not. The talk page template is optional. You are correct that if you are the sole author, attribution is not required, but it's still helpful for patrolling admins if you do so. — Diannaa (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course, I know that edit summary is mandatory on its own, that's elemental, and yes, it could be that I have done it before. However I am not sure that I am able to remember where, but if I do I will put this temp to appropriate TP. Also, most likely, when and if i used bits of text from one article for writing in another, then, it was again probably my own. Anyhow, I will be sure to use it every time I am reusing any amount of text from now on. Cheers.--౪ Santa ౪99° 16:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

It's a bit small for my tired old eyes. Could you enlarge it a bit? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problemo, will be done :-) ౪ Santa ౪99° 19:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I enlarged for two points, so I hope it will take hold in a minute or so. ౪ Santa ౪99° 19:34, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I can just about read it now. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I could increase font for additional point or two? ౪ Santa ౪99° 20:01, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here, I increased for another point, although I am still unable to see changes. ౪ Santa ౪99° 20:03, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Phil Bridger I am certain that signatures posted prior of enlargement will not increase subsequently. I increased font in my Preferences, and only posts I write from now on will get increased signature. ౪ Santa ౪99° 20:29, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest a height similar to the plain text in the post. An additional problem with readability is the drop shadow, which decreases contrast between text and background. See https://accessibleweb.com/color-contrast-checker/ for a way to test foreground background contrast. Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:52, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I will remedy that in prefs. ౪ Santa ౪99° 10:36, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
