i would like to add some information on how the word "hello" was created 142.24.50.5 (talk) 16:25, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:19, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

relevance of image[edit]

the image of the "Printed Hello" that i tried to change in "printed all-capital Hello," is IMHO hardly relevant, see image talk on commons

Agreed. 1st Duke of Wellington (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

positioning of the image[edit]

hi, or HELLO, its me again,

another problem i have with this image, it is strangely framed, it nearly matches the bottom line with the "Early uses" 2nd-level-topic, so it should be imho in the top most position instead and thereby don't effect the 2nd-level topics at all (im viewing this on classic 4:3 resolution with 110-130% page-zoom do to bad eyes)...

PS: normally i would just edit source and fiddle around by moving the "[[File:-127wiki.jpg|thumb|Printed Hello]]"-line while clicking preview until it looks right but, again, its blocked ;( --Mr.T. 31.172.106.163 (talk) 10:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please include the fact that "Hi" is an informal way of saying hello. Neelbaban (talk) 19:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done; Wikipedia is not a dictionary and that would create a slippery slope about listing many other variants. Graham87 (talk) 08:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I would love to edit this; I was wondering if I could perhaps with your permission? Bally125 (talk) 00:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone may add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself.
