em-dashes

Just to let you know: turning Unicode em-dash into HTML — is directly opposite to the direction we've been going for over a year. It's not a big deal (the display is the same) but it looks like you are making a deliberate effort here, and it will simply be undone by a bot at some point. - Jmabel | Talk 18:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[copied]
Please point to a Wikipedia guideline page that includes recommendations to use Unicodes vs. HTML codes such as — for —.

Regardless of Wikipedia guidelines, I would point out:

• Editing in Wikipedia is done in a fixed-width font, so, while editing, the visual distinction between hyphen, en dash, and em dash is certain when using HTML codes, and uncertain when using Unicodes.

• Wikipedia's own Unicode and HTML page refers to and uses — to discuss and display the em dash.

• I seem to recall reading somewhere off Wikipedia that browsers are more likely to render & codes correctly than they are to render Unicode characters correctly. I don't know if this is true with the browsers of 2006.

In general I replace – codes and single and double hyphens with — codes. I do not replace Unicode-coded em dashes with &mdash-coded em dashes except perhaps in the course of fixing the other stand-ins for em dash. Anomalocaris 21:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC) [end copied]

I have no idea if there is a formal guideline, but there is an authorized bot sweeping through and Unicodifying HTML entities.

There may still be someone using a browser that has trouble with Unicode, but if so they will be in trouble in a lot of other places, since we no longer use HTML entities for letters with diacritics, either.

Again, no big deal, just didn't want you to waste effort swimming against the current, but if you want to, it is your prerogative. - Jmabel | Talk 21:12, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Your edits on Nancy Pelosi

Hi. I thought you might want to know that while your decision to delete "the only woman to hold the position" from the article was correct, it had read "No woman has been closer to the Presidency" just a few edits before. Just a note. Cheers. Xiner (talk, email) 15:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

"Cautious Cal" is an existent and valid nickname for Calvin Coolidge, regardless of its popularity.

Apologies, it was my mistake. I saw an edit of yours in which you corrected a link, and took that as if you added the link. The link itself was not appropriate, and hence my mistake. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 20:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Dashes

Please note the North American tradition of months, dates, and time to see the appropriate use of dashes and emdashes. Please discontinue your unstandardized changes to articles pertaining to dates. Thank you. Mkdw^talk 01:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The Chicago Manual of Style notes that an En dash are used for dates and number ranges. An Em dash is twice the length of an En dash. Em dashes are used to indicates a sudden break in thought and are texted based. You are inserting Em dashes to articles pertaining to dates and time. I kindly ask you to please change them back. Thank you. Mkdw^talk 01:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

You seem to still be making changes inconsistent with the WP:MOSDATE, although I haven't rechecked The Chicago Manual of Style. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Dianne Feinstein

Please try to be more careful when reverting to a previous version. Your revert undid two days worth of valid citation upgrades that I did, plus reinserted a WP:BLP violation that I had removed. The best way to handle that edit would have been to go back into the history, copy out the text you wanted, and then paste it into the latest version. That way, subsequent work will not be undone. I reverted to my last version, and another editor is piecing the text changes back in. Feel free to check it out and make further adjustments, just don't undo all of my work, I am still in the process of formatting all of the citations so that we have nice complete footnotes to refer to. - Crockspot 15:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

--Amwestover (talk) 00:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It is standard Wikipedia procedure to not contribute material that is in the process of consensus in order to prevent edit warring. I encourage you to contribute to the consensus on the matter until it is resolved. Please do not re-add the contribution or else I will have to report you for edit warring. --Amwestover (talk) 01:05, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

October 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Joe Wurzelbacher. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Bstone (talk) 01:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:NPA

The Joe the Plumber article presents some difficult problems for editors to solve. Please don't attack or insult people whose beliefs are different from yours, on the talk page or in your edit summaries. WP has policies about personal attacks, civility, and assuming good faith not because we are all sweet little angels in tutus and pink ballet shoes but because we are not. Getting angry at other people and getting them angry at you makes the discussion less productive and more unpleasant for everyone. Thanks. betsythedevine (talk) 11:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Sepal Copyedit Template

The reason for me placing the copyedit template on the sepal page was mainly because of poor sentence structure/tone. Unless that has been fixed, it would be a good idea to leave the template there. die2u2 (talk) 01:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Picasso about van Gogh

You reinserted the following caption: When Pablo Picasso was shown this photograph on January 6, 1958 he remarked: What a striking resemblance to the young Rimbaud, especially the keen and penetrating eyes.

Is it relevant that a painter looks like a poet? Actually, I don't think he looks like Rimbaud, but that is my personal opinion. Just as it is Picasso's personal opinion that he does. It would be relevant though, if Picasso would have said, that Rimbaud's poems are reflected in Van Gogh's paintings. But he didn't. He is just talking about characteristics that both person's are not know for.Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 07:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Space em dashes

You seem to be inserting a lot of spaced em dashes. This is a generally bad style; per MOS:DASH, em dashes should not be spaced. Please clean those up. Dicklyon (talk) 07:01, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Punctuation inside quotes

Thanks for your clean-up work. However my understanding is that Wikipedia's "house style" calls for placing the punctuation outside of quotes, unless they are part of the original quotation. See WP:MOS#Quotation marks. It says, "On Wikipedia, place all punctuation marks inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted material and outside if they are not." That is different from ordinary American usage.   Will Beback  talk  07:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Euphorbia reversions

Hi, I am not a seasoned contributor so could you please explain in detail why you are reverting the changes I made. In particular the number of species in Euphorbia which I changed from an unreferenced number to a number generated by a documented peer reviewed website. If I am citing this incorrectly please advise as well as why you deleted the external link I added, again to a peer reviewed website containing all species data on Euphorbia.--Weepingraf (talk) 10:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

species numbers

Hi, I do of course agree that it is impossible to say how many species of Euphorbia "God Created". But many of the figures cited for larger genera are wildly out to the number of known species. From the WCSP you get the exact number of species by using the "Build a checklist" option [2] select family "Euphorbiaceae" and Genus "Euphorbia and click "create a checklist". Under the genus entry for Euphorbia it will say "2003 Species". The WCSP species count is exactly that, not including hybrids or infraspecific taxa, that is why it is so usefull for large genera. By citing the date this search was done, at least you have a referenced peer reviewed source of the number based on actual species counts rather than a guess. I agree the wording should perhaps reflect that this is one count of known species at one particular point in time. However this could be said about any species number. There may be only one species of Ginkgo know today but that does not mean there may be another species as yet undiscovered. And Yes for Psychotria the count is exactly 1900 (in the same way as Phyllanthaceae has exacly 2,100 species known today[[3]] although I agree that there are at least another 200 or so undescribed species of Psychotria. But I would assume the figure to reflect current knowledge rather than looking in a crystal ball. --Weepingraf (talk) 11:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Your edit in Ahava

Hi there, the text in the article has now been replaced by the standard boilerplate language, which is okay, but I'd like to let you know nonetheless that I don't agree with this revert of yours. Moreover, the source you removed deals with the issue more specifically than the boilerplate language (dealing as it does with Mitzpe Shalem and exports to the EU), so there's an argument it would have been better.

Specifically, you say that that the source wouldn't support the text. However, the source says: "The British Government believes that Israeli settlements on occupied territory are illegal. So does every other government in the world, except for Israel. (...) a settlement called Mitzpe Shalem". This means exactly that every government except Israel considers Mitzpe Shalem to be an illegal settlement. Kind regards, --Dailycare (talk) 11:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state for deletion

The article List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. OSborn ^arf_contribs. 01:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Adding spacing to initials in Black hole

In this edit you added spacing to all initials in the references of the black hole article. Why? I, for one, think this is very ugly, which is why I have consistently added references without spacing between the initials. This is perfectly valid choice for formatting references. Moreover, it is generally considered very bad form to make wholesale unilateral changes to references formatting in a drive-by edit without discussing.TR 08:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Timothy, I can't help with your sense of beauty or ugliness, but initials of human names are spaced in Wikipedia, as can be seen by these examples: J.R.R. Tolkien redirects to J. R. R. Tolkien; George H.W. Bush redirects to George H. W. Bush; D.W. Griffith redirects to D. W. Griffith; I.M. Pei redirects to I. M. Pei. Spaced initials of human names is standard. For example, The Chicago Manual of Style 14th edition says in section 7.6 on page 237:

Names and initials of persons are capitalized:

...

R. W. B. Lewis

...

The space between initials should be the same as the space between initial and name (not R. W.B. Lewis), except when initial are used alone, without periods (see 14.4).

As for your claim "it is generally considered very bad form to make wholesale unilateral changes to references formatting in a drive-by edit without discussing", even such a consensus exists, I didn't violate it. It is not as though I changed wholesale from APA style to MLA style. All I did was insert spaces in initials, which is standard throughout Wikipedia and Standard English. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

The space thing applies to page titles, not citations. Citations may be in any acceptable style, and switching from one style to another is extremely looked down upon per WP:CITEVAR. I've reverted to the established style. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 22:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I have replied at Talk:Black hole#Citation standards. —Anomalocaris (talk) 00:01, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

World War II/Second World War and ENGVAR

I have reverted your removal of First World War/Second World War in articles with strong ties to British English. British English usage is for Second World War/First World War to be used. It is a choice for the editors of the article and there is no mandate for either version to have to be used in an article. Changes in usage, particularly in Featured Articles such as the British Empire, should be discussed on the article talkpage with the editors of the article per WP:ENGVAR.

Highway 4

Hey, Anomalocaris. First of all, let me say that you have a weird and fascinating user name. From it, I deduced that you are from British Columbia (The Ogygopsis Shale). LOL. You recently edited Highway 4. I applaud you for you diligence in fixing hyphens and dashes. However you also inexplicably removed all links of street names to the persons they're named after other than to say that it is fundamentally illogical. I strongly disagree. Wikipedia articles are all about providing information. The person a street is named after is certainly of interest to the reader. Would you also remove all links to towns, geographic features and historical events that lend their names to streets? And would you remove the hundreds of such links to well over 50 articles about Israel's highways? I sincerely hope not. Respectfully, --@Efrat (talk) 08:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Whilst/while

Can I ask why you are replacing "whilst" with "while"? They have exactly the same meaning. Number 57 08:34, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm no clearer. The only reason I can see is to comply with WP:ENGVAR, yet you have made the change on some articles using British English - e.g. The Generals' Revolt. Number 57 15:31, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I still don't see the problem. If an article is using British English, WP:ENGVAR applies and "whilst" is acceptable ("international English" does not apply). Number 57 15:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Links to city and state

Thanks for your cleanup in Hank Gathers. I did revert one aspect, namely changing [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]] to [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]]. In general, specifics link should be used over back-to-back links that look like a single like per the manual of style on linking. If the concern is that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is actually a redirect to Philadelphia, WP:NOTBROKEN says redirects are generally OK to use.—Bagumba (talk) 18:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Bagumba, I believe you are referring to this:

• When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link, as in [[Ireland|Irish]] [[Chess]] [[Championship]] (Irish Chess Championship). Consider rephrasing the sentence, omitting one of the links, or using a more specific single link (e.g. to Irish Chess Championship) instead.

That is different from [[city]], [[state]] examples, because the unlinked comma prevents the links from looking like a single link. In fact, links of this type are prevalent throughout Wikipedia, for example:

• Drexel University: Drexel University (DU) is a private research university with the main campus located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
• Wilson Goode: Willie Wilson Goode (born August 19, 1938) was the first black mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• Independence Hall: Independence Hall is the centerpiece of Independence National Historical Park located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, on Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets.

Those were the three of the first four articles I checked and each one includes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania right in the first sentence. (The fourth, Frank Rizzo, uses Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Therefore I believe I was right to edit Hank Gathers as I did.

By the way, I find Wikipedia:List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state to be a useful resource. —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:02, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Definitely you are encouraged to be bold, and thanks for following up on my comments. There was this line in the MOS, "As explained in more detail at Help:Links#Wikilinks, linking can be "direct" ([[Riverside, California]], which results in Riverside, California), or "piped" ([[Riverside, California|Riverside]], which results in Riverside in the text, but still links to the article "Riverside, California")." I suppose one could argue that doesn't specifically discourage a link to both the city and state in cases where the city article does not have the state in the city's article name. I think we can find examples of both approaches, but WP:OTHERSTUFF would caution about solely basing decisions on examples from other articles. My thinking, which I believe is consistent with the basic principle of the MOS such as WP:SPECIFICLINK, is that a reader is mostly interested in the city Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as opposed to being equally interested in Philadelphia and separately Pennsylvania. Those interested in the state would still find the link in the city article. I also think its small and subtle to tell if the comma is blue or not (i.e. is it one link or a separate link to the city and state).—Bagumba (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I have no problem with any of your edits yesterday to Magnetic-core memory.

great job!

I noticed your nice cleanup edit on saxitoxin (it's on my watchlist) and glanced at your contributions -- you've done great work! Nice to meet a fellow WikiGnome! =)

Just curious -- do you use AutoWikiBrowser or do you do all your edits manually? Cheers! Wingman4l7 (talk) 23:21, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Stevia

I noticed all your recent edits to the article on Stevia. Most of them seem to be very good edits. I was just puzzled by the change to italics for the word "stevia". I think the two instances of the word in italics in the first paragraph in "History and use" are correct, but I don't understand later instances of the word in italics. I can't remember if there are any more than the one in the list for the U.S. at the bottom of the page, but I don't understand why that one is in italics. The word appears frequently in regular font both before and after that. I'd appreciate learning the reasoning behind it. Thank you. – CorinneSD (talk) 23:17, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Help with The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp & SeriousFun Children's Network

Hi,

Can you help me fix the inaccurate merging of these two articles? The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is not the same organization as the SeriousFun Children's Network. Hole in the Wall is one of 14 different independent camps that belong to the SeriousFun network, itself an independent 501(c)(3). If you could unmerge them I would be willing to fix up the Hole in the Wall one and build an accurate one for SeriousFun.

Dashes

I mentioned an old edit of yours at Talk:List_of_eponyms_(A–K)#Dashes. Dicklyon (talk) 19:16, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

WP:ENGVAR

Thanks for your efforts to repair articles, but please don't change British English to American English when there is no need to do so. Cheers, Number 57 20:23, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Please read MOS:RETAIN, specifically the part "there is no valid reason for such a change". I realised after I wrote the comment above that this is not the first time I have asked you to refrain from making such changes - please could you respect the guideline. Thanks, Number 57 21:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

We did not settle this a year ago, I either forgot or just didn't bother responding to you. I have no interest in discussing the merits or the opinion of a handful of external style guides - the whole point of WP:ENGVAR's existence is to prevent the need for such futile discussions ("In general, disputes over which English variety to use in an article are strongly discouraged. Such debates waste time and engender controversy, mostly without accomplishing anything positive."). Please just respect it. Thanks, Number 57 18:20, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Given our recent conversation, these edits are clear violations of WP:POINT. Please stop. Thank you. Number 57 07:51, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Not responding does not equate to conceding the point, as there are a variety of reasons for doing so. I am also aware of the theoretical wording of WP:POINT, but the overall concept is not to make edits that are merely to prove something after you've been asked not to. You have your views on how English should be written, and I have mine. Sometimes we agree (I have no problem with this edit), sometimes we won't. In most cases, there is no definitive answer, and WP:ENGVAR is there to prevent endlessly circular fruitless discussions by stating that there should be no change in such cases. I appreciate the work you are doing to identify dead links, so let's leave this discussion on a positive note. Cheers, Number 57 17:48, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately I see you are continuing to remove the word "whilst" from articles for no apparent reason. Please consider this a final request to stop before I take this to a noticeboard. Thanks, Number 57 18:55, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that you designated the above as not being notable enough to appear in the DoY pages (March 30 births) I thought that anyone notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry qualified. I would be grateful if you could point me to the criteria for inclusion in the DoY pages. Regards. Richard Avery (talk) 17:34, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

WP:DOY#What is notable says, "Also, being the subject of a Wikipedia article is only a minimum requirement for inclusion in a Wikicalendar article. Not all people meet the more stringent notability requirements for Wikicalendar articles." But it doesn't say what those more stringent notability requirements are. On my own initiative, I ruled that having won a high school state wrestling championship followed by an unspectacular year or two in college is not notable enough for DOY articles. If his record doesn't improve, he will soon be completely forgotten in the domain for which his notability is claimed. Would anybody care today about someone with a similar record who was born in 1892 or 1942? —Anomalocaris (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of culinary vegetables, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Daily News (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Many thanks!

For all the work you've done adding descriptions to my Romanian river disambiguation pages. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the acknowledgement, bd2412. Would you like to take over?—Anomalocaris (talk) 05:47, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't know where to start! bd2412 T 15:36, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

bd2412: Start at Special:ShortPages and search for "river". The first such article is now Brebina River. When you have edited all the river articles on the page, click on the "next 50" link. There are now 60 "River" articles in the 500 shortest pages, most of which are Romanian river disambiguation pages. In the next 500, there are only 5 "River" articles, of which only 1 is a Romanian river disambiguation page. —Anomalocaris (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

How do you tell which county a tributary is in? It looks like most of them run through multiple counties. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:57, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

bd2412: For example, Brebina River links to Brebina River (Bârsa), which says, "This Brașov County location article is a stub." For my similar edits, I assumed this info is correct. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Substitution

Hi Anomalocaris,

Thank you for contacting me on this issue. I notice from the Refer template talk page that Rich Farmbrough objected to the template being substituted earlier this month, and I tend to agree with him; I don't see a reason to substitute this template. Has there been a discussion on this subject, or a guideline that has been written? As far as I can tell, not substituting the template facilitates consistent formatting among disambiguation pages. I would be glad to hear why you think it should be substituted.

Manuel I Komnenos

I get a little testy when people "correct" the usage of 'which' and 'that'. It dates back to a scientific paper I wrote years ago which had a rather complex descriptive sentence in it. When it appeared in print, the publication editors (perhaps an automated checker) replaced all the usage of 'which' with 'that' rendering the sentence an abomination. I have no quarrel with your other edits, but did not want to wade through acres of text to replace the changes from 'which' to 'that'. Urselius (talk) 10:18, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Help on Tom Graves?

Hi Anomalocaris, I'm looking for help with some updates to the Rep. Tom Graves article and I wonder if you might be willing to help. Looking around at the articles for a few other Republican politicians from Georgia, I saw you'd been active in this topic area recently recently, so this article might be of interest to you.

At present, some of the article sections are lacking in detail or WP:RS citations, or both. I also see a few areas where the wording does not conform to the cited source and / or is not encyclopedic. I'm seeking to address these issues.

Worth noting, I am working as a consultant on behalf of Rep. Graves and, considering my financial COI, I won't make any direct edits to the article. What I have done instead is to propose suggested updates on the Talk page here. If you are able to review and make the changes as you feel are appropriate, I'd be very grateful. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 22:15, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

User:Davey2010: You are welcome, and you might find the template {{Diff}} handy. In your example, you would use something like {{Diff|Eva Marie|661442061|661442060|your edit of Eva Marie}}, which would display like this: your edit of Eva Marie. I believe these edit numbers are used consecutively across Wikipedia, and it's pretty unusual for the same article to have two consecutive edit numbers, so I must have done mine right after you did yours, but it's still amazing that in all of Wikipedia no other article was edited in those seconds.

Type species must display the named genus?

Hello, I do not agree that "Type species must display the named genus", as you stated in your recent changes to Platymantis and Ptychadena (and which would require putting the authority in parenthesis, which is not the case at the moment). The Amphibian Species of the World, the source of this information for amphibians, lists type species using their original names, which may or may not coincide with the names of the genera they typify. So do the Mammal Species of the World. I am not sure whether this is a convention rather than a rule, but I see no reason to depart from it. Type species are usually wikilinked to their current name, so there should be no risk of confusion. Micromesistius (talk) 14:05, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

They/it

Could you not change "they" to "it". It's perfectly acceptable in British English to refer to organisations in the plural and use "they". See, for example, Conservative Party (UK). Cheers, Number 57 08:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

User:Number 57: I believe there ought to be consistency both within and across Israeli party articles, and when referring to a party, as opposed to members (plural), the usage should be consistent. A review of Conservative Party (UK) shows considerable use of both "it" and "they" in reference to the party, but the plural "they" is often (but admittedly not always) used to agree with "Conservatives" or "the Conservatives". Similarly, Republican Party (United States) usually refers to the party as "it", but uses "they" after "Republicans", e.g. "... while Republicans lost 7 seats in the House, they retained control." Thank you for expressing your concern, but I do intend to continue to work to standardize to the singular pronoun in referring to the party as a whole as I edit Israeli party articles primarily improving the reference info. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:55, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

It's not "concern", it's a request to respect WP:ENGVAR; if you continue to ignore this, then I will continue to revert you. You will see that "they" is also used in UK Independence Party article, despite there not being a plural version of the party name (unless you count "Ukippers...). Number 57 10:00, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Please stop edit warring over this. The outcome of the discussion at Cooperation and Brotherhood does not apply in this case as it is a different case; Rothorpe's comment that "the 'was' and 'were' are too close together", this time they are at different ends of a long sentence. The comment from Sminthopsis84 was that the sentence was apparently confusing; this is an entirely different sentence, so that comment does not apply here either. Number 57 16:04, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Adfix

Please see the categorization principles listed at Category:Uncategorized pages. A stub template is an internal project category that groups articles by a maintenance condition of the article, not an end-user content category grouping articles by a defining characteristic of the topic — so a stub template does not count toward considering an article to be properly categorized. All articles in mainspace still have to have at least one real content category declared directly on the page in the Category:Blah blah format — if no such category declaration is present, then the page is still uncategorized even if it has 100 stub templates on it.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for November 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deaths in December 2011, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Daily News and Proceso (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Help

please remove this line from khowar language which is incorrect; Khowar is the predominant language of Chitral, and one of the 14 designated regional languages there.[citation needed] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.160.66.131 (talk) 15:50, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

a 50–50 joint venture

The MOS text now seems to suggest that we prefer to spell this out as a fifty-to-fifty joint venture. I'm pretty sure that wasn't your intention. Pburka (talk) 22:40, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

User:Pburka: I agree with you that this wasn't my intention, but please explain. My change was to insert the example

a 50–50 joint venture

and I do not see how this suggests that we prefer to spell this out as a fifty-to-fifty joint venture. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:47, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The full text reads: a 51–30 win; a 22–17 majority vote; a 50–50 joint venture; but prefer spelling out when using words instead of numerals: a six-to-two majority decision, not the awkward a six–two majority decision

It instructs us to spell out the word 'to' (or 'vs.', etc.) when using words instead of numerals. How should editors interpret this as applied to the example you added? Pburka (talk) 23:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

User:Pburka: I don't see that. The words "spell out" appear in Wikipedia:Manual of Style only twice, both in the "Units of measurement" section. I inserted my example among other examples under the heading

In compounds when the connection might otherwise be expressed with to, versus, and, or between

but I don't see that heading as implying that the use of the en dash in an example means that Wikipedia recommends that the en dash in an example should be replaced with (or should be spelled out as) one of those four words. The first example in this section is

boyfriend–girlfriend problems

and I don't believe this is intended to recommend that this phrase be replaced with any of "boyfriend to girlfriend problems", "boyfriend versus girlfriend problems", "boyfriend and girlfriend problems", or "between boyfriend and girlfriend problems". Do you still believe that my example suggests that Wikipedia is recommending "a fifty-to-fifty joint venture"? —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

"boyfriend" and "girlfriend" aren't numbers, and they're not part of the clause you edited. Let's just consider the example you added, and the next phrase:

a 50–50 joint venture; but prefer spelling out when using words instead of numerals

How should a reader interpret this? "Spelling out" must refer to the dash (and, indeed, the omitted example confirms this), but how should it be spelled out in the case of 50–50? I think the wording needs to be clarified to explain why it should be fifty–fifty (i.e. not spelled out when using words instead of numerals) in this case. Pburka (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

‎ user:Pburka: I am sorry it took me so long to see your point, which is actually pretty obvious. With your astute advice, the example of "a 50–50 joint venture" is now separated from the advice "but prefer spelling out when using words instead of numerals" as this example would never appear as words. —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:11, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

An automatic editor?

I noticed this edit to the page Shahada; did it use a semi-automatic page searcher and editor? Thanks. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard: No, simply clicked on the "edit this page" tab at the top and proceded as usual. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Megaplex (Supaplex#Clones)

Please see the talk page. The section was removed because it encourages spam. There are MANY clones and remakes of this game, and I don't see why Megaplex deserves special treatment. I think it should stay gone, and the disambiguation page link removed as well. --Vladimir (talk) 00:54, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
