Prostitution in Germany



Regarding your "edit war" comment, do you think this isn't a clear case of vandalism? They are changing it to random countries/regions (Germany, Netherlands, Africa, etc.). I don't think this is a content dispute. Also, should be mentioned, the previous version was cited in the body (this is in the lead). LordCollaboration (talk) 02:49, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hi LordCollaboration, I can agree that it is at the very least disruptive editing. I didn't check the previous edits besides the most recent one, and it does indeed appear to be Subtle vandalism, or at the very least Accidental misinformation. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia, so can't really say for sure whether this is or isn't an edit war.
:I did try to check if there were any footnotes that were relevant to the Human rights part, but couldn't find any (even in the body). At the very least, I think adding a direct footnote to that sentence would greatly help clarify what the two correct countries are.
:Thanks for reaching out. MSWS (talk) 02:55, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
::Yeah, the sentence probably needs to be reworded. But the Eastern Europe part seems mostly supported by the body, and certainly more so than the Netherlands or Africa or (etc.) ("The same study found that 63% of the sex workers in Germany were foreigners, with two thirds of them coming from Central and Eastern Europe.", "According to Susanne Bleier Wilp of the Association for Erotic and Sexual Services Providers lobby group in Berlin, 80% of the prostitutes working in Germany at the time were foreign, mainly from Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and Ukraine.", etc.) The latter is perhaps what the sentence is referring to for a Human Rights body? I am not sure, and that's only one.
::And thank you as well, I should be more careful on reverting more than three times when it's not more serious vandalism. LordCollaboration (talk) 03:34, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Double heading on user talk page


Hello, MSWS. When you welcomed a user recently at User talk:Saatyc, you ended up creating two headers: 1='December 2025' and 2='Welcome!' . It's okay to go over and just remove the first one, as there shouldn't be a top-level (H2) section header with no text following it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:07, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

AGF: Article on Dozy Mmobuosi ↗



Hello MSWS,

Thanks for your recent contribution to Wikipedia, I would however like to draw to the current issues of COI ↗ on the article, i strongly suggest further edits should be discussed on the talk page before being implemented on the page itself. For now, i have reverted the article back to the last stable version. Looking forward to your input and contribution. Tuesden (talk) 09:31, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Tuesden, thanks for reaching out. I've commented on the article's talk page, though I have no COI.
:Looking forward to fleshing out the article. MSWS (talk) 09:35, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Cheap Trick ↗


MSWS, you might want to take a closer look at my recent edits to the Cheap Trick ↗ page. My edits removed unsourced material, fixed multiple factual errors, and created more connection between the lead and the article body. There was no reason for you to post any warnings on my talk page. If you have any issues with my edits, the article talk page would be the best place to raise them. Thank you. &#126;2025-31181-88 ↗ (talk) 23:19, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, I couldn't find a reliable source stating that Daxx Nielsen left the band.
:There is also a ''former members'' field which you likely want to add him to (along with the corresponding citation) if this happened.
:If the issue at present is that he never actually joined the band (and is simply touring with them as a paid hand), then I apologize for the confusion. (Though, at least one site ↗ says otherwise). MSWS (talk) 23:24, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

::I believe he is still the touring drummer. Some sources say he's a member of the band, but I think they are mistaken. He was originally hired as the touring drummer and I don't see anything saying he got upgraded to being a full band member. His own website identifies him as the touring drummer of Cheap Trick (https://www.daxxnielsen.com/bio). On the other hand, he is photographed with the band members on the Cheap Trick website. So I acknowledge that it's a bit murky. &#126;2025-31181-88 ↗ (talk) 15:40, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Adding a poster in a page



How to add a poster in a page Topic5678 (talk) 10:42, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

:To add a poster to a page, you'll first need to find the poster.
:If possible, find an image that properly represents the article (e.g: movie poster, tv banner, etc.), refer to the image use policy ↗ for more info. Wikipedia has a helpful guide here ↗ that I'd recommend reading.
:Briefly:
:#Upload the image using the upload wizard ↗
:#Update the relevant article with <code><nowiki>alt=ALT TEXT|TITLE TEXT ↗</nowiki></code> with the infobox. Most articles that are for media will have a relevant image field, eg: <code><nowiki>| image = Star Trek The Next Generation Logo.svg</nowiki></code>
:If you ever get stuck, you can always go to your favorite TV show ↗ to see how they did it, and follow their formatting.{{efn|The Stark Trek's example image was uploaded here ↗.}}
