Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

It is easiest to use the "Add topic" link at the top of a talk page and "[ reply ]" link following each post but you may edit this page directly if you follow the above-mentioned guidelines.

If you choose to edit the page directly, please observe the following in addition to anything else in the above-mentioned guidelines:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

Regarding replies and notifications:

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or use the "[ subscribe ]" link by each thread heading,or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.
If I left you a message; please answer on the page where the message was left, using {{ping|Username}}, {{reply to|Username}} or {{u|Username}} in your response, or add {{talkback|Username}} or {{whisperback|Username}} to my talk page. If you leave me a message here, I will answer here on my talk page, notifying you in the same manner.

This user does not mind criticism. Feel free to let him know if he did something wrong.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Hello, i hope all is well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ahmed_magdy_3295/sandbox

but it is still in my sandbox and there is no sign it is in the process of being published in wikipedia. please advice what is the next step i should do to publish it.

Thank you Ahmed --Ahmed magdy 3295 (talk) 19:56, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahmed magdy 3295 hi. Your article appears to be written in Arabic, so it's best to publish it on the Arabic Wikipedia instead. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello CanonNi:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Welcome back!

Nice to see that you're back! Hopefully the real life doesn't come back to bite you. I wonder what's the status of Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/CanonNiBot 1? Aaron Liu (talk) 11:50, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aaron Liu thanks! Yeah, let's hope so, lol. And ah, I almost forgot about that - I'll get those trial edits done sometime soon, which should be easy since the code is already good to go. Appreciate the reminder! '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:05, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Reijenn13 on Wikipedia:Help desk (01:16, 23 May 2025)

Hello. I have a Wikitia draft and would like to transfer it to Wikipedia. How will I do that? --Reijenn13 (talk) 01:16, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Reijenn13 hi. Do you mean Fandom (formerly Wikia) or some other wiki? Whatever the case, directly "transferring" the draft is inadvisable, as Wikipedia has its own set of guidelines and standards for articles. Please see Help:Your first article for instructions on how to get started. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:11, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Sword Oratoria Revisions

Hello I restored the changes you reverted as there was no deletion of content and the changes were intentional. I moved the Sword Oratoria list of novels and chapters to dedicated pages to align it to way the main story wiki page Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? is set up. A large list of novels is not exactly helpful on the main page. I have restored the changes with a more helpful comment.

New Pages with the removed content

Thanks. Lazeraman (talk) 04:28, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lazeraman ah, got it. Thanks for your work! '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 08:48, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for File:Path of Exile 2 screenshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Path of Exile 2 screenshot.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:30, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

...huh? I've already included both the rationale and licensing templates. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:09, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Irfnapathan4444 See Help:Your first article. The singer needs to be notable and be reported on by multiple reliable sources. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:00, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am new here. I have knowledge of HTML. Can I edit wikipedia? How to edit and how I should start? --Arbaz Thakur (talk) 11:21, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 2018 Taipei mayoral election

On 29 May 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2018 Taipei mayoral election, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the second-place candidate in the 2018 Taipei mayoral election lost by just 0.23%, demanded a recount, and ended up losing by even more? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2018 Taipei mayoral election. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2018 Taipei mayoral election), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Some bubble tea for you!

Just wanted to swing by and say that your DYK for the 2018 Taipei mayoral election made me laugh. Thank you for translating it and nominating it for DYK! BaduFerreira (talk) 16:45, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Youcanbuymeflowers (20:24, 30 May 2025)

HI. Trying to edit an image on a page so it reverts back to the original image. the one posted is unflattering. how do i do this with out it constantly being reverted back to the unflattering photo. I am not adding text, misinformation or anything, simply reverting a picture back to a previous image that was approved by wikipedia. Thanks --Youcanbuymeflowers (talk) 20:24, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Youcanbuymeflowers I'm assuming you're referring to Jenny Heijun Wills? Your attempted additions of a new image are, as explained in the edit summaries, way too big. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 00:23, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the drive!

Welcome, welcome, welcome CanonNi! I'm glad that you are joining the June 2025 drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

How to add a reference

Hi, hope you are doing well. For the past few days, I’ve been on Wikipedia trying to learn how to edit. Your previous article was helpful to me. I noticed that some people use references from news articles or books. The code they use looks like cite news = something. How can I learn this referencing system and how to use that code? Also, what is the easiest way to remember it?. Arbaz Thakur (talk) 05:44, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arbaz Thakur the code you're referring to are WP:CS1 templates, which are used to format citations in a standardized manner. The good news is, you don't have to learn it at all! (unless you want to, of course) This is because the VisualEditor, the one enabled by default, has a handy tool for automatically generating citations from a URL, ISBN, and more. See WP:REFVISUAL on how to use it. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 07:07, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
