Hi VaudevillianScientist! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Kj cheetham, I'm still learning how and when to tick these boxes. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 12:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Greetings

I see you have been very active in articles about chemists. I tried to write an article about Peter Gill, but it been moved to draft space as Draft:Peter Gill (chemist). Could you take a look at it and perhaps help me to get it accepted? I think the major problem is the lack of direct sources. Some of the links support the text but they are not direct sources. I have been on WP for a long time and I am now getting old and my memory is getting worse. I was an admin but gave it up because of my age. All best wishes.

Hi Brian, I'm confident that the draft as of its current status will be accepted on Wikipedia. One of the two links you provided is already cited. Stay tuned for the result! Cheers. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 04:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. Well done. I agree. I am getting too old. Are you a computational chemist? I was but retired nearly 20 years ago and my links with and interest in computational chemistry declines every year. Bduke (talk) 05:13, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Brian, I'm not a computational chemist but collaborated with a few in the past. I can understand why your interests decline over time...If you let me know your contact info such as the email, I'd be happy to connect. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Stewart Fotheringham question

Hello,

I saw your move on the page Stewart Fotheringham and just had a quick question. I struggled with naming it originally honestly because of his inconsistent name use, with most publications going by A. Stewart Fotheringham. However, when I was deciding on the original page name I found online sources (of varying quality) for Alexander Stewart Fotheringham, AS Fotheringham, Alexander Fotheringham, and just Stewart Fotheringham, [1]. I decided to be safe and include his full name Alexander Stewart Fotheringham, mentioning he usually goes by A. Stewart Fotheringham in the page. I'm very low confidence on any choice, which is why I included the full name, but I was wondering how you decided his preferred name was Stewart Fotheringham, as most publications at least have an "A" in front of the name. If dropping the Alexander, Wouldn't "A. Stewart Fotheringham" be closer to what it seems he prefers to publish under (such as J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling)? Thanks for clarification. Is there a source for his preference besides one being used more regularly? Is there a Wikipolicy or design criteria I can use for future guidance?

Without any outside source, I just assumed he might be trying to differentiate himself from other researchers with a similar name, and was using his middle and first initial rather then the conventional first and middle initial to do that. However, I don't know him and am only going off of what I see.

Thank you for your help! GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 18:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

He uses that on his official website

https://search.asu.edu/profile/2372224 VaudevillianScientist (talk) 19:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, but he also uses "A. Stewart Fotheringham" on the same website, and has more then one publications/sites with different preferences. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 20:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

He's called Stewart in life. It also helps with online search without Alexander, which is the purpose of a wikipedia article. You can definitely write his full name in the introduction paragraph. A lot of the times people use a nick name as the article title since it is easier to find publicly.

On the side, I see your great progress in adding these quantitative geographers into wikipedia. It's still lacking an entry on Andrew D. Cliff, perhaps you are working on that. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 22:21, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Check his self intro here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvMYYpHhpjM VaudevillianScientist (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

I have not seen that video, nice find. From a publication standpoint, most of his work is A. Stewart though. With multiple sources for each variation, including the A. Stewart on his personal site, I'm unsure on dropping it completely, especially as thats the name on his textbooks and on multiple peer reviewed publications (Many pages include a middle initial if the person uses it frequently I've seen). However, if we're going with how he introduces himself in public, that might be a good argument.

Sorry, I spent a couple days stewing on the name and took what I thought was the most "conservative" approach. As long as the choice is supported by sources and thought out though I'm not going to argue the point. Thanks for indulging me! GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 03:50, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
