Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Public consultation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heckling. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Tidying up page

Apologies for terse comment earlier. You were correcting the page while I was also trying to correct it and I kept losing edits as a result. It arose because I had published before checking as I had already lost all the edits in an internet drop-out and was actually re-entering content that had been removed from the original post by somebody who clearly was not a space scientist because the cuts made radically lessened and belittled Jim's massive contribution to space science. Hence my frustration - apologies. Mike MessageInABottle 18:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Not to worry: in a few cases I thought you'd finished, so I jumped back in too soon, sorry about that. Collaborative editing isn't always easy, but we'll get there. Storchy (talk) 18:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am a bit slow! Thanks for your help. By the way - I was keen to add Jeff Hughes name to the photo legend and the fact that the picture is published in one of my papers open access under CC-BY (with Jeffs permission: indeed he went to a great deal of trouble to supply it at maximum resolution for me) - in order to prevent its instant removal. The only other picture I have added was one I took myself of the Issac Koga medal that I personally won in 1990 and it was taken down with a (very) terse note that it was a blatant copyright violation! I dont want that happening again!

Thank you very much for all the work you've done on the article. But please note that if Mr. Hughes is the owner of that photo, and it's licensed under CC-BY, then permission or other verification will need to be communicated at Wikimedia Commons: the photo on Commons at the moment appears to have been copied from a copyrighted AGU paper at https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016SW001438, with no other source information added for that image. Have you got a link to the CC-BY paper you mentioned, so we can rescue it? Thanks.

What your saying

I don't do any vandalism on Rashid Khan wp page but don't why your saying me like this, Ripomobo11 (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say that you vandalised, I said that you added unsourced content. Reliable sources are especially important in biographies of living persons. Storchy (talk) 12:59, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry from know I used reliable sources buddy Ripomobo11 (talk) 13:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Know = now again sorry Ripomobo11 (talk) 13:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

...

I think you have only find me to edit, there are lot of editors too go and disturb them, don't bother me Ripomobo11 (talk) 12:53, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop deleting perfectly good references, and stop replacing facts with your opinion, and I'll stop telling you to stop. Storchy (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are not my opinion Ripomobo11 (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know why are you doing such things I have given link and write what is written in them. And I think for you icc and ESPN are not reliable. Thank you for corrupting Wikipedia Ripomobo11 (talk) 14:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suresh raina

I do a lot of research that take an hour and you just revert in just 1 click. This time I neither do any grammatical mistake nor add any unreliable website and don't do any mistake this time. This type of exploitation of new users can't be bothered by me. This is last warning ⚠ Ripomobo11 (talk) 11:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Last warning? Until what, exactly? Storchy (talk) 11:42, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know what is wrong that I have done in my edit. Ripomobo11 (talk) 11:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried explaining the problem to you already, and we just don't seem to be communicating well. To avoid further wasted effort, maybe you should try proposing changes at the talk page, Talk:Suresh Raina. There are several editors who seem to have that page on their watch list, so they will also see when you post at the talk page. That would be a good way to get agreement with your proposed change, rather than all this tiresome back-and-forth editing. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 11:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK mate thanks Ripomobo11 (talk) 13:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Storchy:Hi, Suresh Raina need ce in below sections. Ripomobo11 is doing his editing without providing reliable refs, many editors aware him not doing so, you can read all this at his TP. A discussion about their editing is going on Admin'a notice board/incidents. You can join discussion there, happy editing. Success think (talk) 13:45, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted it on talk page of suresh Raina as you said,so can I do edit now? And yes I didn't add any unreliable source as success think is saying Ripomobo11 (talk) 06:13, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied at Talk:Suresh Raina. Storchy (talk) 07:26, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paclobutrazol

Hi Storchy

Thanks for starting your clean-up of the paclobutrazol article, which was in a sorry state when I happened to take a look at it yesterday. As you know, I've added a chemistry section and I have some other changes in mind to explain its early and current use. However, I'll hold off for the moment until you have finished your copy-editing. I think that Invasive Spices plans to chip in also, so between us we should arrive at something worthwhile. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, very grateful to both of you for your help. I'm not a chemist, so am eminently unqualified to write new content there, but happy to help formatting journal references etc.
It looks as if a teacher somewhere has asked their chemistry students to contribute to that article: as you wrote at Invasive Spices' talk page, it's a series of short, badly-sourced edits from a number of new accounts. Storchy (talk) 13:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You removed a reference I added to a Court decision because I linked to LexisNexis's main page. How do you suggest I refer to the decision? The real link was this, and the link still works, but I think this kind of link is likely to break much more quickly than a link to the main page.Thanks. Briane from Chilliwack (talk) 21:25, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, both the original link and the one you've helpfully given above present only a login prompt, without an abstract or even a title of the decision. It's OK to cite a subscription-only resource: the "cite web" template includes a "url-access" option to show readers that it's paywalled, with a little red lock icon at the end of the reference. But how about we search for some other, more accessible link? Happy to help with this if I can: I've got university access to a fairly wide range of journals, if there's no open access version available. Storchy (talk) 21:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no problem in finding the decision itself; it's here. But that's a primary source, and to be avoided even to prove that the action was dismissed, I'm told. Also, summarizing it would be WP:OR (I agree with that). I've tried hard to find an open secondary source, believe me. There's this, but it only has a single sentence about Griffith's action, and the explanation is confusing even for a person who knows the law.
Perhaps a combination of a reference to the primary open source and the subscription-only summary would be enough?
If you're inclined to continue the search, the references are [2008] NSWSC 764 and [2010] NSWCA 257. (That's the common way to refer to a legal decision.) Thanks. Briane from Chilliwack (talk) 01:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No intentional duplicate template arguments?

I used duplicate arguments as a shortcut to mix passing parameters anonymously and by number, forgetting that this puts the page automatically in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. So, in the interest of not polluting the category, I take that this trick shouldn't be used even intentionally?

The context is that you applied the auto fix to where I used this, which had the effect of simply removing the trick. I'm wondering if you know of an alternative way of passing that argument containing an the equals sign (<span= …) without having to number all the other arguments. Of course, the straightforward way is to just number them all, but I'm always looking for cleverer syntax if it might exist. ;D  —wqnvlz (talk · contribs);  06:03, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
