message: The image shown in this article, as an example of a Flemish Bend is, in my opinion, dangerously incorrect. It is, in fact, shown tied perfectly, but backwards! The standing part of the ropes need to form the INNER loops of this bend knot, otherwise they can, and will, slip down and jam the knot, when great stress is suddenly applied, (like if you fall off a mountain and the knot catches you)! Instead, if the RUNNING ends of the rope, (which never will receive new tension), are made the outer ones, they are placed correctly.  Many people, even experienced climbers, (and even Clifford Ashley), have tied this knot incorrectly, and so the Flemish Bend has gotten an unfair reputation for being hard to untie. Maybe someone could supply a corrected image?  (I've never made a correction before, so I don't quite know how this stuff works.) C.F.Beeble (talk) 20:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi,
There is an issue with the article titled above, when viewing on a mobile phone the rail track image overlaps all the text marking it hard to read.
I did a fix by adding a space between image and start of text but a user claims doing that affects the desktop website version, so the user rolled back my edit.
Is there a way to fix this? I have contacted the user as shown below but I’d like to fix it rather than it becoming a petty dispute.
Please can you help?
Thanks, Onshore
Hi, just noticed you have reverted edit. Please can you fix this for mobile as it's needs attending to…. Caernarfon_Railway_Line.jpg Onshore (talk) 19:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not experienced in the areas of bugs and problems, unfortunately; however, you may wish to go to WT:UKRAIL and describe the issue there (particularly if it affects multiple pages). Hope that helps. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 19:46, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry but if you're not experienced then why did you revert me fix? Please show image of your website error? I may have to forward this to Wikipedia admins. Onshore (talk) 19:49, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do so they can look into what might be causing the problems. I can't send an image, but if you look at what your edit did on the Desktop version, you'll see that the lead turned into what you get with Template:Code. Whether this is what you got on the mobile site, I don't know. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 19:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

text: Use responsive design: Try to use responsive design to ensure that the page displays correctly on different devices. This may require some CSS tweaking, but will ensure the page is readable on a variety of devices. Rearrange content: Consider rearranging content on the page to fit better on different devices. This may include rearranging the position of text and images to reduce overlap. Try other editing methods: Collaborate with other editors to try to find other editing methods to solve this problem. Maybe try other ways to fix the image overlapping text issue without affecting the desktop version of the site. Yangpeifu (talk) 05:04, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Thoughts on removing the subsection titled "Mediation"? This is very uncommon and I've never seen it used. It also overlaps a bit with WP:DRN, which is already covered in a subsection a bit further down. I would hate to see new users read this page and get advice that is not a current best practice. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:54, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

message: I was going to make a sizable donation to help fund Wiki because I am greatful for the knowledge.  After reading what was said about Donald Trump I was very disappointed!  Much of what was said was more opinion than fact.  Hardy any of his best achievements were never listed.  Only the bad or the negative.  When he was critiqued after Biden was elected, no previous president has achieved many of the milestones Trump did.  I’m just a democrat that wants to see an honest two sides of the coin, and this is clearly a one sided coin.  Trump was not all good, but then nobody is.  He just needs to be treated fairly, and without bias.  If Wiki is letting other readers change and control information inputted on this site, then it needs to be vetted somehow for examples like this.  By the way, I only chose to look up Donald Trump because I was told that Wiki weakens on the more controversial topics.  Thought I would put your site to the test.  Well, they were correct.  I need information to be facts only no persona bias.  This muddies the waters, and ruins the results thus making the results unusable and incorrect.  Sorry Wiki, you have some house cleaning to do first before I donate to your cause. 71.78.172.38 (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

message: There are several parts of the MoS and general best practice for Web accessibility such as MOS:DTAB, MOS:TABLECAPTION, MOS:COLHEAD, etc. that oblige us to include some things and exclude some thing to make the site semantically correct and useful for the blind (among others). I have recently edited on some pages where I have added these required accessibility features and a small group of editors have removed them with the rationale (in my interpretation) being "we don't do that" and they seem to not really care that things like table captions are required. In spite of the fact that WP:LOCALCONSENSUS is written to stop a small group of editors deciding that "we don't do [thing that is required sitewide]", I don't see what the remedy is with this small group of editors who will just remove these required accessibility features when I add them. What am I missing? What is the remedy here to get this to stop? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:20, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
