See Special:Diff/1283820024, in an attempt to remove the AMP url, it made the URL an unhelpful ambiguous URL.
Luckily, the URL wasn't really necessary before since it was syndicated from another source, which I replaced with the original source. I would not be surprised if a lot of yardbarker links did this, since they mostly syndicated then pull articles from other sources, but these become harder to find when they go from this amp url to a more ambiguous one. Might need a quick review to see if this happened anywhere else. If you have a list, I can go through and try and fix them with the original source. Chew(V • T • E)22:29, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chew: Hi. Yes, none of the yardbarker URLs were usable when I found the issue a few weeks ago. So I added the yardbarker domain to the ignore list, and removed all the problematic yardbarker URLs from the database. There were quite a few of them. Currently there are only seven yardbarker URLs in the database that were operational. I undid all the changes I could find, seems like I missed some. Unfortunately, I do not have a list (as I removed them from the database), but most of the problematic edits were undone. —usernamekiran (talk)15:09, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, thank you! I'll try and go through and just remove them all if I can for my prior reasons, just wanted to make sure you were aware as well. Appreciate it Chew(V • T • E)00:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marie20123: COI refers to editing Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. In simple words, someone you are directly connected with. It should be mentioned on your userpage, and talkpage. —usernamekiran (talk)11:43, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Liance. My name is Fareeda. I am trying to publish an article on live space. I learnt it takes some days to be reviewed and published. And that I need to make edits to other articles at least 10 edits for my article to be finally accepted. Can you please clarify? --Fbakori (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fbakori: Hello. No, number of edits are not required for getting the article created. As you have already done it, you need to create an article either in your sandbox, or in draftspace. After the work is done, you can submit it for review. You did that as well, and submitting the article was your 5th edit. —usernamekiran (talk)11:26, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
