==Regarding a recent article I created==

Hello, Keith! I have finally decided to become a contributor here. The article I've been working on is [[Happy Bar & Grill Biometric Surveillance]]. However, when someone I've sent the link to opens it, they see the version that was last updated before I created my profile. What could be causing this? I apologise for any lack of knowledge on my part. [[User:Juuns|Juuns]] ([[User talk:Juuns|talk]]) 18:23, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

:Unfortunately this is a problem with cloudflare's caching. If you wait a short while, or they log in, they should see the updated version. We've found a solution and will be shipping it with the next version of the wiki so that page edits are instantly reflected in cached versions of pages. Until then, it's just a case of waiting a while or logging in (logging in bypasses the cache as it needs to load user-specific elements). Great work on the article by the way! Just as a heads up, we're happy to have sources in non-english languages, so if you find any Bulgarian sources discussing it, those would be great to add to the article to demonstrate notability.

==Bill JSON link merge issue for API==

[[Colorado SB26-090 critical infrastructure exemption]] [low priority issue]

Some citations involving API requests and pulling JSON have the selector merged with the actual link, resulting in a direct click of the link returning a non-valid result.

Example: Ref #19 links: https://data.colorado.gov/resource/dxfk-9ifj.json?$select=sum(incomeamount)&$where=upper(lobbyistname), when everything after the question mark should be non-linked, and the original link should have everything after the question mark removed. Then click check should return valid JSON objects.

I've added the following string to all references where I believe this appears, I've only gone through half the list however: "!!! JSON SELECTOR MERGED WITH LINK, RESULTS IN BROKEN CLICK !!!"

If there are any other instances of this happening, I'll make another minor edit, feel free to revert if there's actually no real problem and I'm going insane.

It really would be nice to do the JSON parsing within the actual link and have the API return the valid results, unfortunate. [[User:Left4Code|Left4Code]] ([[User talk:Left4Code|talk]]) 03:35, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

:Also, I can't seem to follow the instructions for reference #16 https://www.sos.state.co.us/lobby/ [low priority issue]

:"To verify: go to the Colorado Secretary of State lobby registration search at https://www.sos.state.co.us/lobby, click "Bill Search," enter "SB26-090" as the bill number, and select the 2025-2026 session. The search returns all registered lobbyists, their clients, and their positions (Supporting, Opposing, Monitoring, etc.). Accessed April 3, 2026."

:My attempt to verify (results in error): "Bill/resolution number is invalid. Example: for bill number 12-002 enter as 002."

:#1: to go link in instructions

:#2: click search by bill number, land on https://www.sos.state.co.us/lobby/SearchSubject.do

:#3: bill resolution: empty | session 2026 (also tried 2025) | bill resolution number (tried 26-090, 090, 90, SB26-090)

::Yeah, that was Louis - I'll prod him on it [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 08:38, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

::Ok, worked out the correct instructions for this one - you need to put 'senate bill' in the dropdown, 2026 in the session, and then 090 in the number. the name SB26-090 stands for 'Senate Bill 2026 - 090'.

I'm wondering if there's another link to the recording (and hopefully an archive)

==Lemon Law Story, Hello Keith!==

Hey Keith,

I saw you edited or deleted the article I posted, I was wondering if there was any sort of explanation for it as this is my first time being on this website and wanted to share my experience of a well-known issue of warranty denials by Toyota.

Thanks,

:Hi Nelson,

:You beat me to it! I just left an explanation on your talk page.

:tl;dr: it's original research and has been moved to your user space, where you can keep it
