Barbara Hendricks

You reverted my edit with the explanation "she may not be a US citizen (do we know?), but she's still African-American". Huh? If you don't know whether she is American, then how do you know she is African-American? You can't be African-American without being American. Hence the word.

I copied your remark to Talk:Barbara Hendricks where this ought to be discussed so other interested readers can participate in this discussion. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:31, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

references responsive

In the article Willemijn Verkaik the tag <references responsive /> is used. The keyword responsive is not mentioned at Help:Footnotes. Where is the definition for it? What is the meaning? --GünniX (talk) 04:16, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it first discussed at Template talk:Reflist#Responsive where a (very unhelpful) announcement at Meta:Tech/News/2017/11 and a better explanation at phab:T33597#3082884 were mentioned. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:28, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I am here for the same reason! :) -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:20, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I failed to see the answer. Now I know. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:07, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rjwilmsi: if they can hep with the AWB part for it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:07, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Came for the same reason, Maria Callas, don't get columns [1]. Should I? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:53, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on your screen resolution. I get 2 columns with 1280 pixels horizontally, and 3 with 1920. It reduces here to 1 column at about 1100 pixels. From mw:Talk:Editing/Projects/Columns for references I gather that the column width of this feature is about 39em. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no time to dig into the details (need/want to expand a Bach cantata for Easter), - can you give a short explanation 1) why you'd prefer it to reflist|30em, and 2) if yes: could it become part of the reflist template? I don't like the idea of changing hundreds of articles ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer <references responsive /> over {{Reflist}} because it seems simpler to me. You, or anyone else, may have a different preference, although as happened at Callas, merely using {{Reflist}} without any parameters is never an improvement. There's no need to change any article; I only do it when I edit an article for another substantive reason. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 15:03, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, helps. I use reflist|30em for most articles, but reflist|20em for articles with harv referencing, because then the Biobliography is long, but the refs tend to be shorter. Could that be done with the other? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I know; there's a place for both methods. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Safina

Hi, I was just getting to the beginning of his opera background and into the "popera" music and I started having problems everywhere. Hopefully, I will be able to put that in there at some point.CyranoAS 02:33, 13 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mama1229 (talk • contribs)

I'm afraid Alessandro Safina its outside my area of expertise & interest. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:46, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Andrei Bondarenko

Could you please explain why there are different representation of Андрі́й Бондаре́нко vs. Андрій Шевченко or other Andriys? Why should this one be AndrEI??? Thanx, 80.99.208.111 (talk) 15:20, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
