Finding sources

I can find sources for articles that need them. Is there a way to know what articles needs sources? I mean to find the articles? Vajzë Blu (talk) 21:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Category:All articles lacking sources or WP:TASK possibly? DatGuyTalkContribs 12:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Both are cool. Thanks! Vajzë Blu (talk) 00:28, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

English Teacher photo

I let the English Teacher band know about the photo I uploaded which is what they're posting all over to promote their first album tour. But I didn't know Wikipedia could change the name of the photo to my description which is crazy long.

The name I wanted for the pic was "English_Teacher_January_2024.png" Is there a way I can change the name of the pic to that? Here's the pic:

The link says "No Target." Do I put the name of the pic after a / Vajzë Blu (talk) 00:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
I just tried it. It says
"You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason:
"Files may only be moved by administrators or file movers."
But there's a request page link there so I'll try that! Thanks! :) Vajzë Blu (talk) 00:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

DatBot's pending changes backlog has not been updated

The last update that DatBot made to its pending changes backlog was 36 hours ago, even though DatBot reports the task as running. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 01:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Restarted the task. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:11, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
It seems the task hung again after only a few hours. I tried restarting it at User:DatBot/run/task4, but that didn't seem to work. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
