Hi VaudevillianScientist! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Greetings
I see you have been very active in articles about chemists. I tried to write an article about Peter Gill, but it been moved to draft space as Draft:Peter Gill (chemist). Could you take a look at it and perhaps help me to get it accepted? I think the major problem is the lack of direct sources. Some of the links support the text but they are not direct sources. I have been on WP for a long time and I am now getting old and my memory is getting worse. I was an admin but gave it up because of my age. All best wishes. He is noted as a member of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists. Bduke (talk) 05:27, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

I have been thinking about this article too, but you are way ahead of me. You might find this link useful: http://watoc.net/watoc.dirac.html WATOC/our-people/academic-staff/p-gill.html and this one https://www.sydney.edu.au/science/about/our-people/academic-staff/p-gill.html.

Stewart Fotheringham question
Hello,
I saw your move on the page Stewart Fotheringham and just had a quick question. I struggled with naming it originally honestly because of his inconsistent name use, with most publications going by A. Stewart Fotheringham. However, when I was deciding on the original page name I found online sources (of varying quality) for Alexander Stewart Fotheringham, AS Fotheringham, Alexander Fotheringham, and just Stewart Fotheringham, [1]. I decided to be safe and include his full name Alexander Stewart Fotheringham, mentioning he usually goes by A. Stewart Fotheringham in the page. I'm very low confidence on any choice, which is why I included the full name, but I was wondering how you decided his preferred name was Stewart Fotheringham, as most publications at least have an "A" in front of the name. If dropping the Alexander, Wouldn't "A. Stewart Fotheringham" be closer to what it seems he prefers to publish under (such as J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling)? Thanks for clarification. Is there a source for his preference besides one being used more regularly? Is there a Wikipolicy or design criteria I can use for future guidance?
Without any outside source, I just assumed he might be trying to differentiate himself from other researchers with a similar name, and was using his middle and first initial rather then the conventional first and middle initial to do that. However, I don't know him and am only going off of what I see.
Thank you for your help! GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- He uses that on his official website
- https://search.asu.edu/profile/2372224 VaudevillianScientist (talk) 19:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but he also uses "A. Stewart Fotheringham" on the same website, and has more then one publications/sites with different preferences. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 20:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- He's called Stewart in life. It also helps with online search without Alexander, which is the purpose of a wikipedia article. You can definitely write his full name in the introduction paragraph. A lot of the times people use a nick name as the article title since it is easier to find publicly.
- On the side, I see your great progress in adding these quantitative geographers into wikipedia. It's still lacking an entry on Andrew D. Cliff, perhaps you are working on that. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 22:21, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Check his self intro here
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvMYYpHhpjM VaudevillianScientist (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have not seen that video, nice find. From a publication standpoint, most of his work is A. Stewart though. With multiple sources for each variation, including the A. Stewart on his personal site, I'm unsure on dropping it completely, especially as thats the name on his textbooks and on multiple peer reviewed publications (Many pages include a middle initial if the person uses it frequently I've seen). However, if we're going with how he introduces himself in public, that might be a good argument.
- Sorry, I spent a couple days stewing on the name and took what I thought was the most "conservative" approach. As long as the choice is supported by sources and thought out though I'm not going to argue the point. Thanks for indulging me! GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 03:50, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but he also uses "A. Stewart Fotheringham" on the same website, and has more then one publications/sites with different preferences. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 20:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Great article. I think you should be autopatrolled. Aszx5000 (talk) 18:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks, how do I use this capability? VaudevillianScientist (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Wikipedia_Autopatrolled.svg/80px-Wikipedia_Autopatrolled.svg.png)
Hi VaudevillianScientist, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 22:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
