Question from Leo.K.O.Tuo (05:38, 1 October 2026)
[edit]no, well, yes that too. but, I'm going to go to Wikipedia, I will Create a new word for it.
"let's snurgle together."
snurgle means to snuggle close, huddling next to each other like cold seals seeking to warm up against each other, however I do not know exactly HOW to make a page, and create a page for it, the start indeed, yes, is a no but that too meant about snurgle being officially a flying creature from old Zelda games, where I would like to also add a mention about it, however my main point is, that it fits so well that it simply could be a hit of olden days, yet inside of 70 years some hundreds of people might even use it! Let's snurgle some more! --Leo.K.O.Tuo (talk) 05:38, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

- Hi M7! Thanks for reaching out to me and for letting me know about this. I just checked the link that you sent me, and everything appears to look good on my end. I've just removed the local block from this account, and I'll leave a message on their user talk page shortly to let them know. :-) If I can be of any assistance with anything else, please don't hesitate to let me know. I hope you have a great day! :-D Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:51, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

Citing instagram
[edit]Hi there. I am a new-ish editor, hoping to do more. I was looking at the Sabrina Frederick page as it was a suggested edit. I see on her instagram account (verified) that she had another child: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMpQfElhQA8/. I was going to cite it but know that instagram is a tricky source. Can you advise? I followed the steps I found online but wasn't successful. NKGrovebach (talk) 22:04, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hi NKGrovebach, welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for leaving me a message with your question regarding the use of social media websites and posts to support content, such as information that you found and were looking to add to the article on Sabrina Frederick. The best places that I can link you to is this section of Wikipedia's page on perennial websites, and this section of Wikipedia's biographies of living people policy. In general, we want to avoid using any social media profiles or posts to support content on Wikipedia. Even if its coming from a profile or post that has a "verified" symbol, it shouldn't be assumed to be. For social media sites like Twitter (now X), getting a "verified" symbol on your profile is as easy as simply paying a monthly subscription for premium features, which includes this as one of the incentives to upgrade your account. Furthermore, social media profiles and posts are primary sources, which we try to avoid using to support content whenever possible. This is especially true with articles that are biographies of living people.
- My recommendation would be to wait until reliable sources that are secondary and independent of the article subject can be located that supports this information. One thing to always keep in mind is the fact that Wikipedia is not news; while we try to publish up-to-date information whenever possible, we also need to wait until the information is supported by reliable sources before we include it (again, this is especially true with articles that are biographies of living people). This keeps content and information on Wikipedia as correct and accurate as possible. Fear not, though! I wouldn't fret too much that this information isn't included on the article; content about the fact that someone had another child doesn't detract nor add too much encyclopedic value about most people. ;-) The information will surely be covered by the sources that we try to cite; we just need to be patient and wait.
- Please let me know if I can answer any more questions for you or provide you with input and advice about anything else, and I'll be more than happy to help you with anything that I can. :-) Thanks again for the message, and I wish you a great rest of your day and happy editing!

- OK. Thank you! NKGrovebach (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
- NKGrovebach - No problem! Don't be a stranger if I can help you with anything else. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:22, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
- OK. Thank you! NKGrovebach (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
Peer Review Inquiry
[edit]Hello!
My students are scheduled to begin the peer review portion of the Wiki Education assignment next week, but they've only just started editing their sandboxes. How does that assignment normally work? Are they able to see each other's sandbox edits somehow?
Thank you,
Dr. Jill Fredenburg DrJ!ll (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hi DrJ!ll! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your questions regarding a peer review Wiki Education assignment that's scheduled for your students. There's a training page on the Wiki Education site that explains the peer reviewing assignment, how it works, and how to complete a peer review using the Wiki Education dashboard and interface. You can review this information by navigating to the training page on peer reviews. This page should hopefully be able to provide you with the exact information and instructions that you're looking for. Please let me know if the training module that I linked you to is able to answer all of your questions and assist you, or if it doesn't or if you still have questions after reviewing it. I'll be more than happy to try and reach out to some resources and either find you an answer or get you in touch with someone who can help. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:31, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
ACC Tool Access
[edit]Hey! I saw that you were an ACC tool admin, and I was wondering if I could get access to the tool. I have already signed up and created my ACC tool account, and I am listed on the m:ANPDP/N. Thank you so much :) 「Norellia.sh」(talk) 17:24, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Norellia.sh! Thanks for the message and for letting me know! I'll put a note on my to-do list; I need to go through our list of ACC tool user requests and review them, ideally with another ACC tool admin as well. Hang tight; it might be a little while, but I'll do my best to get the ball rolling on this. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:37, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
[edit] |
The Template Barnstar | |
| Hello, Oshwah!
You have made a lot of fixes to various block templates, including Template:Blocked impersonator, Template:Spamublock and other templates, so I give you this Barnstar! Happy editing and best wishes, Zahrazamedahmedi (🗨️My Talk Page🗨️) (🫗My Mistakes🫗) 13:07, 22 October 2026 (UTC) |
- Hi Zahrazamedahmedi! Thanks for taking the time to leave me this message! I appreciate the barnstar and the very kind words you included. :-) While the majority of my contributions, actions, and duties are to patrol and handle vandalism, sockpuppetry, and abuse - writing and updating templates, user scripts, and policies and guidelines are things I enjoy taking the time to do. A lot of our policy and guideline pages contain unclear statements, bad grammar, and sentences that can be significantly improved. One policy page that I recently went through and completely overhauled was Wikipedia's username policy (history), and I have plans to do the same to many others. If anything, they could use a fresh pair of eyes, a peer review, and many improvements. I appreciate your kindness and your recognition! Fear not; I plan to make many more improvements like this soon! ;-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:51, 22 October 2026 (UTC)
- You're Welcome! ☺️

A question as a new user.
[edit]Hey stranger, I do have a quick question.
If you make a sandbox, can you just like make whatever you want in there (of course not breaking the rules.) or just practice in general? If you could answer that would be great
