hello, do you know why my contribution menu is grayed out --Govden (talk) 19:56, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Govden: Is it still? At the time you asked, you had no contributions as your question was your first contribution. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:26, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It still is, but I managed to still submit an article for publication, just edited some of the citations/links so hopefully it'll publish soon. Thanks. Govden (talk) 10:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gaur

I have seen many people referring gaur as "Indian bison" and even on the internet so should I write "also known as the "Indian bison" or not? Eiehel (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite a reliable source? If yes, then do it and cite the source. If not, then no. It doesn't matter what you know or have heard, it matters what you can prove. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I put a game inside a article --Blockbusterstu (talk) 18:53, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:59, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

When you guys do restore revision to a certain edit and try to revert it what does it mean when you guys write "last best" in the summary? Eiehel (talk) 09:30, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That means we are reverting to the last best version of the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:09, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I remembered 2 months ago where you had reverted two of my edits of them well for the hippo edit it was just a single word change while for the orca one I had added "literally" which was a helping word for the statement Eiehel (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry not "literally" it was "meaning" that was the word I had added for the orca edit Eiehel (talk) 14:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. So? - UtherSRG (talk) 15:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted a reason why you reverted that Eiehel (talk) 16:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits were not helpful. The previous versions were better. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:20, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Constant reversions on the page List of ethnic groups in Nigeria

Hello UtherSRG I have a concern on the page List of ethnic groups in Nigeria there seems to be a user by the name of Da5ft9 who is constantly skewing the percentage figures on the side of the page by continually reverting percentage figures back to made up figures [[1]] the source which is supposed to support the figures is here [[2]] it states

"Ethnic groups Hausa 30%, Yoruba 15.5%, Igbo (Ibo) 15.2%, Fulani 6%, Tiv 2.4%, Kanuri/Beriberi 2.4%, Ibibio 1.8%, Ijaw/Izon 1.8%, other 24.9% (2018 est.)" and not

"Hausa (25%), Yoruba (21%), Igbo (18%), Fulani (6%), Ibibio (3.5%), Tiv (2.4%), Kanuri (2.4%), Ijaw (1.8%), Others (19.9%)"

since these new figures are not supported by any reliable sources it is in fact made up as such not factual I have given the user a warning multiple times [[3]] before reverting the information on the page back to the factual source [[4]] still, the user seems to not care as the user reverts the information back to the wrong figures again [[5]]. I was wondering if you could please help thank you. Bernadine okoro (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
