Question from Ylizalewallen (22:59, 25 February 2024)

Can I change my username? And put About:BankofLewallen? --Ylizalewallen (talk) 22:59, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ylizalewallen:! My apologies for the delayed response. I would recommend reading Wikipedia:Changing username. However, you can't have "About:" as a prefix to the username and the username must comply with WP:UPOL, which "BankofLewallen" would not as there is a "Bank of Lewallen" in existence. Do you work for the bank? TheSandDoctor Talk 21:50, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

TheSandBot task 3

Hi TheSandDoctor - I just came across an edit made by TheSandBot task 3 in 2019, where a talk page was moved, but its archive page was left behind at the old name. I've fixed the seven cases Quarry tells me still had non-moved subpages from task 3, but I just wanted to let you know for your information (although I appreciate that this was a few years ago now!)

All the best :) ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 03:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @A smart kitten:! (I love that username, by the way!) Thank you for this report. Task #3 was a one-time run from 2019 so any errors that it did make are not something that it is at risk of repeating in the future. I thank you for fixing that error and apologize that it occurred.

Question from Bs232 (11:59, 7 March 2024)

Hello, I wanted to make a page for my favorite music artist, named C2d, he is a rather underground artist. So there is limited info available on them but they did have a song with about 90 million listens. If you have any advice for making their wiki page I would appreciate it! --Bs232 (talk) 11:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Bs232:! My apologies for the delayed response. The notability criteria that you would be looking to demonstrate C2d passes would be WP:MUSICBIO. I would recommend giving that link a read and start looking around for sourcing. Without significant, independent coverage in reliable sources, unfortunately there cannot be an article one Wikipedia.

Question from OGOSADE (08:01, 10 March 2024)

How to fully write an art --OGOSADE (talk) 08:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @OGOSADE:! I think you'd be looking for this guide. In looking at your user page, I would also point you to WP:NOT. TheSandDoctor Talk 21:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
