Question from IND123456 (05:14, 19 August 2024)

Sir, how can I exit from desktop view to mobile view on my mobile phone. Please help. Thank you. --IND123456 (talk) 05:14, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Which browser do you use? Chijioke2007 (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

@IND123456: Thanks for the message. As hinted by Chijioke2007, this is a browser setting. Look for something in your browser's options, maybe in the tab-specific settings. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Chijioke2007 on Vladimir Kramnik (14:59, 19 August 2024)

Hello. I wanted to ask a question regarding the Vladimir Kramnik page. I recently made a new section called "Notable Games" and I noticed there was a problem with the second reference in the section. Can you tell me where I went wrong and how to rectify it? --Chijioke2007 (talk) 14:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Chijioke2007, thanks for the message. The problem was an extra bar | in the template, which evidently made the parser think there was an extra unnamed template parameter, which the template doesn't support. I've fixed the issue. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, sir Chijioke2007 (talk) 05:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Ji (surname)

Regarding your revert: I don't know what Ji (surname) is, but it's not a disambiguation page and thus shouldn't be marked as such. E.g. it has references (not allowed per MOS:DAB#Individual entries), no "may refer to", a too long lead explanation, etc. Leaving it marked as {{disambig}} marks this page for likely clean-up in Category:Disambiguation pages with (qualified) titles. Yes, I see now that it has dab-like navigational value, but it's not (and probably should not) be formatted per MOS:DAB. Do you have an idea how to fix this page? :-) – sgeureka ^t•c 15:31, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, I think this page is more like a set index than a disambiguation page. I'll relabel it for now, in the hope that we'll both be happy with that solution. Let me know what you think. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:07, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Imperial Enjoyer on User:Imperial Enjoyer/sandbox (14:27, 22 August 2024)

How Can I Write Name For The Article ? --Imperial Enjoyer (talk) 14:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Imperial Enjoyer, thanks for the message. The title at the top of the page will change automatically when the article is "published" by moving it to the main namespace. The information page Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft has some more details about this. I would suggest that you first keep working on the article, add enough sources to demonstrate notability, and then submit it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation or move it to mainspace yourself. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from SirWilliamWray (22:58, 30 August 2024)

Hello, I only signed up as an editor two days ago and made a good faith contribution to a discussion and I find I have been blocked from editing (with no reason given). Can you advise how I become unblocked? --SirWilliamWray (talk) 22:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi SirWilliamWray, thanks for the message. Your block log seems to show that your account hasn't been blocked, so something else must be going on. It's possible you were editing from an IP address that's been blocked (this often happens if you're editing through a proxy or VPN, or if you're editing at an institution like a school where many other people share the same IP address). Or it's possible that your specific edits were prevented by an edit filter. Can you give me more information about what you're seeing, so we can figure out what the problem is? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 11:57, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mx, thanks so much for the quick reply. I'm getting a message saying I gav been blocked for the following reasons - but then no reason is given. There is also some reference to something called a range block but I don't know what that is. Thanks again! SirWilliamWray (talk) 19:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

have* been blocked, sorry for typo SirWilliamWray (talk) 19:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@SirWilliamWray: Thanks, that helps a lot. A range block is a type of block that affects a range of IP addresses. It sounds like you've been caught up in a block due to someone else causing trouble using an IP address that's close to yours.

Is the block still affecting you? In other words, are you still unable to edit articles? If you can edit articles now, then you should be fine, no other action needed. If the block is still interfering, you can request to be unblocked by adding something like {{unblock|1=I'm affected by a range block caused by actions I wasn't involved with. ~~~~}} to the bottom of your user talk page. More details are here: Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks. Let me know if you have any trouble or any follow-up questions. I know this can be confusing, and I hope it will be resolved soon. —Mx.
