Hello @MPGuy2824, I hope you're doing well. It's been a while since we last spoke, and I wish you all the best. I'm reaching out to request your assistance in creating maps for the constituencies listed in the List of constituencies of the Telangana Legislative Assembly. I would like the maps to follow a similar format to those you created last year for the List of constituencies of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly. For reference, please see this map: File:Legislative Assembly constituencies of Andhra Pradesh (1-Ichchapuram highlighted).png. Thank you. 456legendtalk 03:10, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241229031000","author":"456legend","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-456legend-20241229031000-Map_request","replies":["c-MPGuy2824-20241229070600-456legend-20241229031000"]}}-->

Sure, I can do that. I assume that it is the same deal that we agreed to in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian politics/Electoral constituencies update#Constituency maps? I create and upload the maps, and you'll do the rest of the work that is necessary on commons, wikidata and enwiki, right? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241229070600","author":"MPGuy2824","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-MPGuy2824-20241229070600-456legend-20241229031000","replies":["c-MPGuy2824-20241230092000-MPGuy2824-20241229070600"]}}-->

I'm trying to write |area_total_km2^[1] but it says "formatting error: invalid input when rounding".

ACarWP14, you can use the "area_footnotes" parameter for that.

I looked at a few of your recent creations. Just to take Kaji, Afghanistan as an example: Google maps and google earth aren't counted as reliable sources since they include user generated content. In addition, the website for maplandia (www.maplandia.com) says that "Maplandia.com provides the searchable world gazetteer based on Google Maps", so it would have the same problem. For population settlements, I've found that providing a link to a government census website which mentions the place and the population is usually enough. See if you can find one of those for Afghanistan.

Also, I noticed your updates to your user page. You might be interested in Wikipedia:Service awards.

@Strait WikiN: There are various types of protection. You do not yet qualify to edit protected pages, but you can request that someone edits them. Be clear in what change you want. People like edit requests of the form "Please change X to Y". If the change is a typo fix or something small then ok. If you are requesting correction/addition of some fact, then support your request with a good reference. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241230051700","author":"MPGuy2824","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-MPGuy2824-20241230051700-Strait_WikiN-20241230050200","replies":["c-Strait_WikiN-20241230052600-MPGuy2824-20241230051700"]}}-->

Have you traveled too? Yup, see User:MPGuy2824/Wikiadventure. I did it a couple of months after first creating this account and found it very useful.

How to edit protected pages on Wikipedia? You cannot edit protected pages since you are a new editor, but you can request that someone else do it for you. There are links in my previous replies that will help you understand what these things mean.

Hi John, I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Regarding Ampati and Ampatigiri, they do seem like the same location and they seem to be in the same district (Garo Hills earlier and West Garo Hills now after the district was split), so you can put the details of the old winners in the existing article. For the rest, if there is no similar sounding existing constituency article, then you should create them. If so, then you'll have to compare delimitation reports like I did. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250104083200","author":"MPGuy2824","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-MPGuy2824-20250104083200-IJohnKennady-20250104082300","replies":["c-IJohnKennady-20250104083600-MPGuy2824-20250104083200"]}}-->

@Coraevas: Welcome to Wikipedia. Its nice to know someone that acknowledges their limitations. Since you can read 4 languages, I would have suggested some work in translation, but there too grammar would come into play. Can you tell me what field you are most interested in? A field of study (e.g. biology) or a geographical area (e.g. Egypt) would be good here. May you could help with finding references for articles that need it? Alternatively, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Task Center: "Fact-Checking" and "Categorization" seem like things you might be interested in.
