Question
Good morning Joseph, Very sorry to bother you with an elementary question about the use of Wikipedia. Using Wikipedia on my iPhone I can see the history of my searches. I would like to do the same on my laptop. Is there a way to do so and if yes how. Thanks in advance for an answer and best regards from Amsterdam.

Hi. Could I bother you to tweak the colors of your signature a little bit? The yellow against white background is virtually unreadable. - NQ (talk) 23:07, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- NQ I've switched to dark yellow, is this more readable? Ideally I want to keep the yellow & green colours of Norwich City Football Club. Joseph2302 23:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Better, thanks. Yellow and green are quite tricky when it comes to WCAG color contrast compatibility. - NQ (talk) 23:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Theodor Lewald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Olympia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Joseph,
I received a message from you regarding the updates we are trying to make on our page. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and I am completely confused. Can you help me?

AfD
Hi. If you see an artice Proposed since March 2008 for merging, you can go ahead and simply do it. No notable School articles: Blank and redirect to the school district (USA) or to the locality (any where else). There's o need to ckoke the overburdened AfD system. Cheers.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- Also, anyone could have just done it instead of complaining about the AfD discussion. As I'm effectively deleting the article by redirecting it, I still think it needs a deletion discussion. Joseph2302 11:37, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
