Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Tornado outbreak of November 2004. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in red at the top of the page. Thanks!

Dammit. I didn't spot that. I'm normally pretty good about that. Thanks for pointing it out. BoonDock (talk) 04:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Under construction note

Did you not see the under construction note on Uragan-class guard ship? I stepped away for a minute and now I have to unfuck what I unknowingly fucked up because you did what you did when you did it and couldn't just wait until I was done and removed the notice. Don't assume that an editor doesn't understand that there are still things need to be fixed when there's an under construction notice on an article. Especially one that's limited to just one section!

That's what the "draft" namespace is for. BoonDock (talk) 15:31, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Not for articles already in main space.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:51, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Adding reference lists

Hi. Please pay more attention when adding reference lists like you did in this edit to British Rail Class 86. You should have seen that a footnotes group already existed and that the problem was simply that an editor had recently added a single new footnote in a different group. All that you needed to do was change the group in the new note to match the existing pattern. Secondly, do not use semicolons to create sub-section headers – this is an accessibility failure and per MOS:PSEUDOHEAD is not permitted. Thank you. XAM2175 ^(T) 12:21, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

It's extremely difficult to get it right every time. There are lots of pages that will simply revert an edit that a particular user doesn't like. Doing it like this fixed the WP:NOREFLIST error, but if the editor had made the change on purpose, it would have been easy for them to see what it was and change it. Damned if I do, and Damned if I don't I suppose.

AWB

Just wanted to let you know I added your name to the AWB access list. @Primefac:, wasn't trying step on your toes, but the explanation added I believe fully resolved your concern with the initial request. Courcelles (talk) 19:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

It did, I just haven't had an opportunity to revisit the PERM page other than to strike my initial decline. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks gentlemen, much appreciated! BoonDock (talk) 19:48, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Tense

Hi, re this edit: we still use the plural tense even when referring to a singular person: refer e.g. the APA style guide, which says: "Use a plural verb form with the singular pronoun “they” (i.e., write “they are” not “they is”).". Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:28, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok. If they say so.. I've seen the opposite stated as the correct way but I'm not going to argue the point. ;-) BoonDock (talk) 05:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Use of Template:Ribbon Display in articles.

I feel as if using 'Template:Ribbon Display' embedded in text does not look professional. ISUtahraptor (talk) 21:07, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
