Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

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. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which 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. Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
3. Update your signature to fix the error.
4. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

1. In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am trying to figure out how to use Wikidata.org, but I am absolutely stumped. I want to learn how to use the codes to edit "External links" for actors in Wikipedia for Turner Classic Movies Database, Internet Movie Database, Internet Broadway Database, etc. but I just can't figure it out. And I don't know how to ask for help on Wikidata. Please point me in the right direction.

Also, as a suggestion, Wikidata needs to make finding help easier and more user friendly.

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is the English Wikipedia; you will have to ask about WikiData at WikiData itself, though we do have Wikipedia:Wikidata which might be helpful. Primefac (talk) 07:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have tried, but no response yet. That's what I mean about making it more user friendly.

By the way, I am confused as to what you mean by "English Wikipedia". English language or English country? Specifically, what do you mean? I don't understand. Thanks. Entertainment Buff (talk) 07:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article's only two sources are sources that, when I examined them in Google Books, mentioned nothing about any sort of dancing clown. Creator and primary editor of this article attempted to create numerous hoax articles in the past and add false information to articles. I could find absolutely nothing about this movie when I did an Internet search. Based on all this, I am led to believe that this article is a hoax and that this film is nonexistent.

I think you have the wrong contributor. I don't recall making any entries about this movie. Sorry. Entertainment Buff (talk) 20:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for the confusion if you thought that I was implicating you in this. The contributor's name is "Cornbread pancakes." Very revealing. ApplePieGuy95 (talk) 21:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Entertainment Buff. I am interested in improving the article on the actor Ross Elliott. I notice you tried the other day to link to the article on him at Find a Grave, which another editor disapproved. But that entry did have a lot of information that might usefully be added to the Wikipedia article, if reliable sources could be located. I have not had much luck at that. Could you take a look at the entry I just put on talk: Ross Elliott and let me know if you can help? PDGPA (talk) 01:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
