Hi Arthurfan828, could I ask if you have a conflict of interest with the article? It doesn't seem like a topic people would usually write about unless they had other connections to it. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 19:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I’m not sure. Maybe because I own a powerbank made by that company. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 19:28, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I am confused. What is a reliable source? 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:87 (talk) 23:30, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:87: It is evidence that the text is true. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 23:33, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok. But why is Quora not reliable? 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:87 (talk) 13:48, 13 April 2020 (UTC). Please also note that even though the time said 13:48(or 1:48 PM) it is 9:48 AM(09:48)where I live.

Quora is not reliable because it is user-generated content that anyone can write, even lies. Also, my time is the same as yours (EST). Arthurfan828 - CHAT 14:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Can you make a java that generates a random item from this list? (you don't have to)--Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:47, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@Thegooduser: What is this for? Where would the items be sent to? Naleksuh (talk) 00:48, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Naleksuh, It would be a button that will have the items on the list as a random input for those who click it. (In short generates a random item from the list) --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@Thegooduser: You should know javascript is only run for people who have opted into it, and scripts added to pages doesn't work. Naleksuh (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

There is an example on the english Wikipedia, a user had a joke generator, where it generates a new one everytime you click on the button, talking about something like that. But I'll ditch this idea if you want/if it's not worth it --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:56, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
