Too many sources clumped together

Where ten of the governors-general are mentioned in a paragraph, it ends with 10 back-to-back sources. If anyone knows how to? it would be best to have 'each' source after 'each' governor-general. In other parts of the page, we've other instances of clumped sources. GoodDay (talk) 04:23, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sub-sectioning, the External links section

If we'ere gonna 'sub-section' the External Links section. Do we really have to repeat "External link" in each sub-section heading? GoodDay (talk) 23:54, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate headers cause page navigation issues. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 00:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We'd of been better off, not sub-heading at all. GoodDay (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you didn't like seas of blue. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 00:44, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't, though I tolerate it more in 'external links' sections. Anyways, I think a solution has been found. GoodDay (talk) 01:03, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Fauxhawk Guy at the parade

One of the people I remember seeing at the parade was this Afro-British man dancing around wearing a pink fauxhawk dressed in a black and pink leather jacket with the word "Gay" embroidered on the back. I forget how he was supposed to be part of the jubilee, maybe he was supposed to be an example of how the people of the UK have evolved during her reign, or whatever. But is there anyone else who remembers seeing the guy? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 00:46, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
