== Why? == |
|||
I don't understand why you remove "the" from [[Symphony No. 2 (Beethoven)]]. That is no true title, such as ''[[Fidelio]]'', just a generic name. Consider reverting yourself, in all these cases. You wouldn't say "Second Symphony is a symphony", or would you? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 08:50, 27 January 2022 (UTC) |
|||
:If the title has "No." then I believe you don't need "the". It's different from "second". Like the following page, for example. |
|||
:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._2_Commando |
|||
:The style used for symphonies on Wikipedia varies, with some having "the" and some not. You can see a selection here. |
|||
:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5 |
|||

::See [[MOS:VAR]]: if a given style varies, you should not arbitrarily change it. [[User:Intforce|intforce]] ([[User talk:Intforce|talk]]) 10:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC) |

:::[[MOS:VAR]] is for "When either of two styles are acceptable" but I don't think "the" is correct English. That's why I am raising the point here. At least it's being discussed now. |

::I noticed that you opened discussions on both [[Talk:Symphony No. 5 (Mahler)]] and [[Talk:Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven)]].

== Your signature == |
|||
Hi there; I notice that your signature as used {{diff|User talk:Gerda Arendt|prev|1068928611|here}} for example, uses a bare pipe. This is causing problems on some pages, for example at [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Language and linguistics]] where the entry for Talk:Bengal tiger stops abruptly - at the exact point where your signature has a bare pipe. In accordance with [[Wikipedia:Signatures#Treat as wiki markup]], please fix your signature so that it does not include this bare pipe, for example by altering it from this: <syntaxhighlight lang=moin>[[User:BrightOrion|<font color="#0080ff" face="consolas">Bright</font>'''Orion''']] | [[User talk:BrightOrion|<font color="#336699" face="Calibri">talk</font>]]</syntaxhighlight> to this: <syntaxhighlight lang=moin>[[User:BrightOrion|<font color="#0080ff" face="consolas">Bright</font>'''Orion''']] | [[User talk:BrightOrion|<font color="#336699" face="Calibri">talk</font>]]</syntaxhighlight> You should probably also address the use of the obsolete {{tag|font}} tags. Thanks. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 21:57, 30 January 2022 (UTC) |

::{{ty}} Did you know that you can shorten <code><nowiki>'''<span style="color:green">Bright</span>'''</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki><b style="color:green">Bright</b></nowiki></code>, a saving of twelve bytes? This is because the <code>style=</code> attribute is valid on all HTML elements, and the span element is really only useful if no other element encloses the same piece of text. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 23:12, 31 January 2022 (UTC) |

== [[Darby Allin]] edit == |

Not sure why you took the revert on [[Bengal tiger]] to heart, but I don't appreciate looking through my contributions and doing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darby_Allin&diff=1069008912&oldid=1068978348 this] and potentially [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darby_Allin&diff=1069014109&oldid=1069008912 this]. I get you're trying to fix things, but I know for a fact you would never be on that page without looking through my contributions. Thanks.

:Hi, I didn't do the "longest-reigning" edit. The other edit I did, because I didn't see the distinction between "videos" and "video clips". I found that page by looking at your edits, yes. By the way, why did you feel my ordering of the countries on the Bengal tiger page was "unnecessary"? I listed the countries in order of number of tigers, otherwise it would have been a random listing. It matched the following sentence. No hard feelings!
