DYK for Rita Cléos

On 27 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rita Cléos, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Rita Cléos was the first actress filmed in a bathing scene on Brazilian TV? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rita Cléos. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Cultural heritage sites in Sri Lanka

@Ата: I got your message regarding your question about the number of |UNESCO cultural heritage sites in Sri Lanka. There are about 8 cultural sites in our country and Sigiriya is considered as one of the most important and ancient cultural heritage sites in Sri Lanka as it is also called as the 8th wonder of the world. Sigiriya rock cave is a mystery as the critics say that it would have been built up by King Kashyap or could have been created naturally. The rock paintings and carvings inside the Sigiriya rock fortress and presence of Mirror Wall are some of the special characteristics that can be found when visiting Sigiriya. The place is picturesque but should be careful when climbing the rock fortress. Abishe (talk) 18:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Misplaced Pages's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
] <sup>]</sup>

Fixed signature:
] <sup>]</sup>

More information is available at Misplaced Pages:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Misplaced Pages talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:38, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Jonesey95, thank you for reminder! Now fixed. Ата 09:28, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Requesting some article expansion support

Kindly do help expand the article Draft:Avret Esir Pazarları, if you find yourself interested.

Thanks and warm regards

Artemy Vedel

Hi Ата, you may be able to help me. I've nominated the article on the Ukrainian composer Artemy Vedel for FA (see here for the discussion on the nomination), but I'm unable to check through the Ukrainian spellings for the sources listed in the References/Sources/Further reading sections at the end of the article. Also, the translations into English may not be correct. Could you help by changing them yourself, or telling me where they are wrong? Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 19:35, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

I'll have a look in the morning. Ата 19:57, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

I checked the links and made some corrections. (I haven't read the article itself, though.) Ата 11:32, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Many thanks, Ата. I'll let the reviewer know that you helped me with the article. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Add a Fact survey and thank you

Thank you for testing out the Add A Fact browser extension! This extension was developed as an experiment by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Misplaced Pages from outside of our website/apps.

We are planning to wrap up this experiment this December, sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Misplaced Pages. The survey is anonymous (see the survey privacy statement) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.

You can take the Goole Forms survey here.

Kind regards, MPinchuk (WMF)
