Hi! Reply-link has officially been superseded by mw:DiscussionTools, which you can install using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. DiscussionTools, developed by the WMF's Editing Team, is faster and has more features than reply-link, and it wouldn't make sense for me to keep developing reply-link. I think the Editing Team is doing amazing work, and look forward to what they can do in the future. Thank you for using reply-link over the years! Enterprisey (talk!) 06:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear fellow Wikipedian, Despite having been off Wikipedia for sometime now, I am coming back with a few specific ideas in mind for which I may need to get help and advice. I am looking to create a few Wikipedia pages about various financial institutions which are quite high in notability but have not yet been covered, however, despite my experience and my knowledge of the field, I am new to this kind of content.

Therefore, I am looking for other, recognized editors that I could consult in case I need help or advice if I encounter roadblocks during my endeavor. I would need to get advice from someone who is well versed in the fields of finance and business.

Let me know if you could help me with this task and if not, let me know if you know someone on wikipedia that would be the go to person to help with such matters ? I am trying to contact a few administrators who seem to be highly competent in those fields but am currently having a hard time finding someone. Thanks in advance, SUPERGTOR (talk) 03:11, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @SUPERGTOR: You don't need an admin for this. Try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Finance & Investment and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Business. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:21, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@Redrose94:Ok, understood, I just wanted to make sure that I get help from someone more experienced than me and who knows the guidelines well in order to not get influenced in the wrong way, it would help me create better content and improve myself as a wikipedia editor,as I have had bad experiences in the past from listening to the wrong advice and yes, I will definitely take a look at it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SUPERGTOR (talk • contribs) 22:33, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
