If I want to merge two articles (in this case because an AfD closed with that recommendation) in the old days I would simply have copied-and-pasted the content of one article into an appropriate place in the other, turned the first article into a redirect to the second, then edited the second article appropriately to make sense of the new content. Is there now anything different to be done on a technical level? Or does the method I've just described still work appropriately? AndyJones (talk) 13:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Broadly, yes, @AndyJones. See WP:PROMERGE for the details. ColinFine (talk) 14:19, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

You should also add merged-from and merged-to notices (using the templates) in the respective talk pages. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:03, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

That's brilliant. Many thanks @Clarityfiend: & @ColinFine:. AndyJones (talk) 20:25, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Seeking feedback on this post about plagiarism... Drew Stanley (talk) 14:30, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Drew Stanley I have responded there. TSventon (talk) 14:58, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

I have added a file of an photograph of the old school It is way too big - please assist. Sorry and thanks Srbernadette (talk) 22:51, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Srbernadette I made a quick fix of the issue by adding "|thumb" to the file. If you want to tweak the image's size, placement, etc, I recommend you check this help page NeoGaze (talk) 23:33, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

You got there first! Musiconeologist (talk) 23:35, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

I think last time it was a matter of adding |thumb somewhere. I'll go and look . . . Edit: already done by NeoGaze. You definitely should keep a note of these fixes. I won't say it's easy, because different people find different things easy or difficult, but it's a small edit once you're familiar with it. Musiconeologist (talk) 23:34, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

So I have been editing the article Symphony No. 2 (Brian) since its very start, and I wanted to add score examples of the main themes of the piece. I tried copying the template from Beethoven's Eroica Symphony and manually modify it, but it takes too much time and trial and error. Is there a more intuitive and efficient way to do this? Thanks in advance. NeoGaze (talk) 23:28, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@NeoGaze: Have you read the Help:Score page? There are some resources in the External links section including one to LilyPad documentation that might be helpful. There are a few WikiSource links in the box on the right of the See Also section which are tutorial-style. Jiltedsquirrel (talk) 01:46, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

For example, today the EU announced tariffs on €4.5bn of U.S. consumer goods. If I want to use this information in a U.S.-focused, American English article, is it best practice to leave the number in Euros, convert the number to USD myself, or is there a template I can use somewhere?

I've seen templates like Template:From EUR, but they haven't been updated in years so they cannot convert 2025 currency. satkara❈talk 23:51, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Satkara: If you're set on using a converted value to USD in the article, I would go ahead and use the From EUR template and just specify the most current year that there is template data, which appears to be 2023 based on some testing in a sandbox. Based on MOS:MONEY, I would suggest including the reported euro value along with the conversion and year used for conversion rates (i.e. "{template conversion to USD} in 2023 dollars").
