Rollback

Hi PharyngealImplosive7. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 22:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you a lot, and I will use this right responsibly! PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Red links

Hi. Please don't delete red links unless they're frivolous. They serve two purposes: they show which additional articles are needed for coverage of the topic, and they automatically link when an article is written. For example, if a notable person is mentioned (and if it's worth mentioning their name in an article, they're probably notable), then we can expect that sooner or later they will have a bio on WP. — kwami (talk) 04:13, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know and I won’t delete them from now onwards. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 04:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. And of course use your judgement for reducing overlinking just as you would with blue links. I let some of the red links you deleted remain that way, because they didn't seem to serve any purpose -- if there were an article there, would it be beneficial to the reader to link to it? Would the subject be better served if someone created an article to turn the red link to blue? People track which red links have the most incoming connections ('what links here') and prioritize them for article creation. But if it's unlikely an article would be worthwhile, especially if the reference can be understood from context, or if it is already adequately covered and doesn't need to be split off as a separate article, then there may be no reason to have a red link. — kwami (talk) 05:47, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I shouldn't be pontificating. It's covered better at WP:REDLINK. — kwami (talk) 05:51, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is true. I’ll be sure to look at the Wikipedia policy, and thanks anyways. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 11:39, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, those guidelines shouldn't be followed too narrowly. They say "remove red links if and only if Wikipedia should not have any coverage on the subject," but that's too strict -- if you would delete a blue link per MOS:OVERLINK, then you shouldn't keep it just because it happens to be red. IMO at least. — kwami (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sino- en-dash

Hi, PharyngealImplosive7. Why do you think Sino-Tibetan languages, etc should have an en-dash? It doesn't seem to fit within the en-dash cases of MOS:HYPHEN. Kanguole 10:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, MOS seems to suggest that you shouldn’t use a hyphen unless the previous word is modifying the next. I don’t think that “Sino” is modifying “Tibetan”. It’s a little bold, I know.
This is what WP:Dashes (in page titles section) has to say about it: “ In article titles, do not use a hyphen (-) as a substitute for an en dash, for example in eye–hand span (since eye does not modify hand).” PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is that "Sino" by itself isn't a word, so this isn't a conjuction of words as described by MOS:ENBETWEEN. Rather this is intra-word punctuation, for which hyphens are used. Kanguole 10:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. You could revert my edits, or start a discussion on the talk page. Either is fine by me. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 10:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'll revert them. You could start a discussion somewhere, but everyone seems to describe Sino- as a prefix. Kanguole 10:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Double spaces

Please do not remove double spacing from articles. Many of us find the wikitext more readable with sentences clearly separated, and it does not affect the display. WP:COSMETICBOT advises against making such changes in bulk, especially with JWB, etc. MOS:DOUBLESPACE has more information. Thanks, Certes (talk) 10:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I never saw the policy and did not know that they would become rendered as one space. Thanks for letting me know. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
