"Amount"?

Hey, I see that you have massively been changing "amount" to "number" in a large amount of cases, just citing "grammar" as your edit summary. Could you point out in how far "amount" is improper grammar? Lordtobi (✉) 15:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lordtobi: Hi Lordtobi, what an excellent question and thanks for noticing! Basically, ‘number’ is used with countable nouns and ‘amount’ with non-countable nouns. For example, you mentioned, an 'amount of cases'. The cases are countable so that should be 'number of cases'. There is one typical exception and that is with money. We speak of an ‘amount’ of money. Technically I suppose it is ‘usage’ however I would consider usage to come under the ‘grammar’ umbrella term.

There are a number of references that you can use that discuss correct usage. A quick synopsis from the Cambridge Dictionary may be found here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/amount-of-number-of-or-quantity-of Many of the competent style guides are listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_guide A discussion on mass nouns here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_noun For example; there is an amount of cutlery on the table which is made up of a number of knives and forks. A discussion here on ‘number’: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity (refer the section; ‘Quantity in Natural Language’) and ‘amount’ usage is also discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_with_disputed_usage Neils51 (talk) 12:17, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot change it when it is a part of a quote. It the person being quoted said "amount", we can't change the quote. Please be more careful. -- Ssilvers (talk) 08:30, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely! Oops! I missed those quote marks! Thanks for the pickup. Neils51 (talk) 09:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Counting the hours

It's not a big deal, and I respect your differing opinion on hours being a countable noun, but quantities that are non-integers are normally expressed as "amount of", rather than "number of" (similarly for "less than" vs "fewer than"). In the case of dive logs, most dives last less than an hour, so total time is accumulated in minutes and will either be expressed as something like "5.3 hours" or "5 hours 18 minutes", and so on. Once fractions are part of the quantity being measured, the idea of 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. goes out of the window. Nevertheless, I'm happy with your last edit, as we can both agree that time isn't a countable noun. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 13:08, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@210.18.192.246: Hi, and thanks for the feedback. Even if it is quite common to apply this nickname (not one that I would want), it still needs to be referenced or sourced. Do you know of a suitable source that can be referenced? Neils51 (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Atomic Broadcast

The IP user changed "deliver" everywhere I had used it to "receive". Is that better? Not clear. "Deliver" is the verb used in the Defago, Schiper, and Urban paper (reference 2) in defining Total Order Broadcast, and I followed that. More precisely, Defago, et al state the conditions in terms of "TO-Deliver" (Total Order-Deliver) and it is a technical term for them. Whether "TO-Deliver" is closer to plain old "deliver" or to plain old "receive", I will have to think over. As someone who has actually implemented distributed computing systems, including Atomic Broadcast, my inclination is towards "deliver", because it seems to capture the essential point of "receiving the broadcast and committing it" better than just "receive". Also, since the TO conditions in the article are cited to the Defago paper, maybe we should be using the terminology of the paper. Don't you think? By the way, you seem to be setting yourself up as some kind of arbiter of who knows enough to be editing this article, and threatening to revert if I don't satisfy you. This is, "shall we say", somewhat on the obnoxious side. Might want to work on your wording a little, if you make a regular habit of this. So thanks for the "opportunity" to respond, but when did I start being responsible to you? Person54 (talk) 19:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Toastmasters International

I spent hours today improving the article on Toastmasters. Amiably asking: what was it that bothered you? Metaphysics Man (talk) 22:40, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaphysics Man: Hi Metaphysics Man. I think you have me confused with someone else. Perhaps Jytdog. Neils51 (talk) 22:51, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How odd!

Well, this came to my email in the last hour:

The Wikipedia page Toastmasters International has been changed on 30 August 2018 by Neils51, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toastmasters_International for the current revision. Metaphysics Man (talk) 22:58, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaphysics Man: Not odd at all. I suggest you review the article revision history. Neils51 (talk) 23:15, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Neils51 made this edit. User:Metaphysics Man, in your preferences (see Special:Preferences) you probably have the box checked next to "Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed" and possibly also the box below that that says "Email me also for minor edits of pages and files". Checking those boxes causes the system to send an email to you; no person is intending to send you such emails. If you uncheck the boxes you will stop getting those emails. They are just notifications. Jytdog (talk) 23:18, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I see you improved the article with an update. Cool. Are you by any chance the author of this article? Wanted feedback about the spelling of the word programme used in the article. Is that valid in British English? Should it be used here? Also, the word organisation is used twice; once in the "Public speaking championship" and once in the "Education" section. Elsewhere in the article it is spelled with a z. Shouldn't it be spelled with a Z as organization in all instances? In the paragraph headed "Speeches" the word organised is used with the "s" not the "z". I would change it but I'm edit-shy; still bruised after having over two focused hours of work undone by Jytdog for apparently valid reasons. I had added for example that "Ralph C. Smedley served as educational director for the YMCA" I thought that was a pertinent bit of history in encyclopedic fashion rather than a brag or promotion for the organization. Thanks for communicating. Metaphysics Man (talk) 23:44, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaphysics Man: No, I am not the author, however I am a member of Toastmasters International, and perhaps you are as well. As the organisation is based in USA then it is sensible that American English is used. 'Programme', 'organisation', 'organised' are British spellings and should be changed (for this article). When an article is created and it is desired to use other than USA spelling then one of the spelling selection templates should be used in the head of the article. An example template here: template EngvarB. Note that even when these templates are in place some editors don't see them or ignore them and then want to change word spelling. If you see such activity, when a language template is in place, then it is reasonable to revert these edits (with explanation as to reason).
Your reference to, "Ralph C. Smedley served as educational director for the YMCA" would seem to be historical information, suitable for the article. I would suggest doing small changes at a time, such as this, ensuring that you can provide a reference, which can be difficult with this topic as there are few secondary sources.
I understand why originally a lot of information was removed from the article back in May however not overly impressed with the way in which it was conducted. Thanks for endeavouring to make Wikipedia a better place!

List of Jugglers

Thanks for the message. While I can understand there might be a need for clarification I think the link to 'Juggling Records' provides this adequately. Go to that article which is linked under Anthony Gatto and Albert Lucas and the first sentence gives a clear summary with more explanation later in the article Robynthehode (talk) 10:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Robynthehode: Yes I reviewed those entries before my note, so hence I understood your revert. I feel however that the sentence syntax is confusing and needs revision. Each page should stand alone in terms of coherency of the information it is presenting and should not require reference to another page to remove sentence confusion. Neils51 (talk) 11:00, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If any change is to made it must be brief. How about 'holds various number juggling world records.' (removing world's greatest juggler section because there is no source for who considers him to be the world's greatest juggler). Robynthehode (talk) 11:50, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Robynthehode: It's better. Neils51 (talk) 11:54, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you're happy with that change please make the changes in both entries in the article. Thanks. Robynthehode (talk) 11:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Thank You!!
Thank you
 Thanks

Thank you so much for your edit here. This 'issue' has been ongoing since at least 2015 at any page related in any way to the Pakistani nuclear weapons program/s, including BLPs and weapons testing pages.

Unfortunately it's quite possible the editor will revert you, re-edit/ rewrite or delete the sections where you removed all the useless link piping etc. I was in the middle of writing a very long message on their Talkpage, here, pointing out some of their 'unhelpful' editing habits, and suggesting they not do certain things, when I noticed your edit. I have left many messages on that talk-page, which have been overwhelmingly ignored.

I've been doing this type of 'clean-up' manually. I gotta get me some of that sweet, sweet WP:AutoWikiBrowser.
Warmest regards, 220 of Borg 14:20, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 220, thanks for your note. I think many people get editing without checking out the Manual of Style and there is a lot of stuff there. The AutoWikiBrowser is definitely a useful tool for repetitive work. It takes a bit of time to get used to it and understand what it can do for you. Happy to share some tips and tricks. Also absolutely check its suggested edits. Nine times out of ten (even better) they are fine. In the time I have been using it I have never known it to screw up with link fixes. All the best. Neils51 (talk) 07:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Guess what I'm editing right now? (Just had an edit conflict with them!) After your fixes, and more by me, they want right ahead and did these edits. Doing the same silly, annoying and IMHO plain stupid things we fixed. Eg. Had "rocky" linked to the Geology of the Rocky Mountains, a US mountain range! Re-adding "of" to "May 1978" or similar, here
Remember they were also editing this way 5 years ago. Then FeatherPluma (talk · contribs) helped out and we actually got a few, rare, replies. Unfortunately 'Pluma' got blocked. At the very least I see ownership issues; competency, in some areas of English grammar at least; non-communication; and possibly worse issues. I was likely going to seek support, or assistance at WikiProject Pakistan, or related physics pages, even Admin help, then you happened.

• Re. Five years ago, see the list of messages I left on their talk-page, User_talk:PeerBaba#June_2015. 220 of ßorg 11:33, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see that they are continually getting messages re links to disambiguation pages, so don't appear to be learning or perhaps not checking their work. The poor link creation technique is not exactly what I would call disruptive editing however if you legitimately point out faulty editing and the behaviour continues then you may have a case for disruptive editing. Maybe worth having an administrator's opinion. Perhaps starting a discussion here may assist. If the Teahouse is not the place then you will be pointed in the right direction.

It's versus Its

I was taking into account the spirit of the guideline, I don't think it is worth adding complicated templates to fix insignificant minor mistakes. Also I think it is more important to preserve mistakes in a direct quote, and I don't think it is important to preserve mistakes in a citation title. Maybe there's another guideline more specific to references that is more appropriate but I don't see why the same principle wouldn't apply (and there's always WP:IAR). -- 109.79.65.28 (talk) 17:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:QUOTE

I was surprised when you corrected the spelling in the quote on the 20th Armored Division page. It took me a bit to track down [[MOS:QUOTE]]. I have no problem with the change or the policy, but if you could reference [[MOS:QUOTE]] in the edit summary should you correct a quote again, you might save someone else a few minutes! --John (User:Jwy/talk) 02:32, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi: I noticed that some of your recent edits using AWB (e.g. Skyscraper and Island of Bryan) have the unfortunate side-effect of moving Short Description below hatnotes, in violation of MOS:ORDER.

Assistant

Please can I get you assistance in uploading certain articles on Wikipedia that ands on the Wikipedia web yet Fideliaduker (talk) 13:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC) @Fideliaduker: What did you have in mind? Neils51 (talk) 13:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I want to publish an article on an investment banking firm in NIGEIRA Fideliaduker (talk) 14:21, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can I send the article to you for review and ask if you can upload it for me Fideliaduker (talk) 12:57, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fideliaduker - Why would you not do this yourself? Neils51 (talk) 22:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will try but if I face a hurdle can I get your assistance Fideliaduker (talk) 12:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fideliaduker, suggest start with a draft. Please have a go at reading the Manual of Style, unfortunately few editors do. If being paid for creating the article then you need to declare. Also be aware of requirements around notability. There is perhaps nothing more distressing for an editor than to work on an article for a number of years and then see it deleted on 'notability' grounds. Once your draft is completed you can submit for review or ask that it be reviewed. Neils51 (talk) 22:53, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Fideliaduker (talk) 01:30, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

I am working on writing the article and I would like to submit is for good article status, but I was wondering if you would copy edit it for me. I have one more section to write and then it shoul be ready. Thanks. Prairie Astronomer Talk 14:57, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Prairie Astronomer: Sure, I can take a look. Suggest flesh it out as much as you can. Neils51 (talk) 19:03, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Giving Users Warnings

Hey, just an FYI that when a bot reverts a users edit for vandalism it also gives the user a warning on its talk page so there is no need for another warning. Idan (username is Zvikorn) (talk) 18:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for copyediting my article

Hi Neils! I noticed you've been working on one of my articles, doing the necessary corrections. I wrote on this WikiProject Grammar without much hope, since right after I noticed the Project seemed inactive. At any case it's great that somebody did check it. I was looking for help, avoiding overloading the Guild of Copyeditors. I also tried addressing your question on the talk page.--Gunt50 (talk) 18:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
