Chlod is currently experiencing dysthymia, which may affect his Wikipedia editing in various ways. He may have difficulty with: altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to him; reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when he experiences issues; limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete his usual workload of Wikipedia tasks. Thank you for your understanding.

Chlod is at Wikimania this week. Say hi if you see him!

Deputy query

Hi Chlod, quick question for you. I've been repairing some translation related attributions, and adding the translated page template using deputy. However, it's recently started adding an error message to the talk page? [1][2]. Um.... have I broken something? GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 04:47, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like changes on Wikimedia's side which has ended up breaking something. It seems to have been fixed; but I'll add in a check to make sure errors like these get caught instead of saved. Chlod (top • contribs) 08:52, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from PrincipalSunrise (18:38, 18 July 2025)

hi, i want to write about some travel guide placed in Pakistan. Can you help me about this --PrincipalSunrise (talk) 18:38, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @PrincipalSunrise! Wikipedia is not the place to write about travel guides. Perhaps you'd like to check out one of our sister projects, Wikivoyage, instead? Chlod (top • contribs) 18:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you Chlod for Quick Guide about wiki. thanks once again PrincipalSunrise (talk) 11:19, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Iamseunkazeem (07:45, 28 July 2025)

Hello is it possible to write about a company that is legally backed in Nigeria --Iamseunkazeem (talk) 07:45, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Iamseunkazeem! Companies must be notable to have a Wikipedia article. A company is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Chlod (top • contribs) 07:59, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
