Please don't "fix" redirect links that don't need to be fixed. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:34, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:37, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will not make again those edits. But "covid 19" is a wrong spelling. I did not turn "[covid 19]" into "[COVID-19|covid 19]". That would be pointless and I would agree with you. Instead I corrected "covid 19" by replacing it with "COVID-19". I would have not changed "CoViD-19" or "COVID-2019" or "Corona Virus Disease 2019" with "COVID-19" because those are all legitimate spellings as well as "Franking D. Roosevelt". All I did was correcting a misspell as wrong as "franklin d roosevelt". If an administrator tells me that this is a problem then I do not want to create problems to the encyclopedia so I will leave those misspells as they are now. 151.30.103.107 (talk) 22:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per COVID-19_naming, stylization as "Covid-19" has become common as well. Numerous news sources including The New York Times, CNN, Politico, The Wall Street Journal, NBCNews have presented the term with a capital C but all other letters as lower case.

"COVID-19 naming" is right. "Covid-19" has become common as well. Not "Covid 19". 151.30.103.107 (talk) 23:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to object if you add a hyphen (i.e., Covid 19 -> Covid-19), but it would be disruptive to go around and change all instances of "Covid-19" to "COVID-19." OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I only modified those two occurrences from "Covid 19" to "COVID-19" and I am not going to modify any other possible occurrences should they come out. If you tell me not to restore those two edits I will not restore them. If you tell me that you are okay with me restoring those two edits I will do it. I do not want this simple correction to be a problem for the encyclopedia or the community. 151.30.103.107 (talk) 23:45, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Taking another look at those pages, it seemed that a link to the pandemic/crisis made more sense than a link to the virus; I changed the link to match the new target article. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:01, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am okay with this solution. Thank you for your collaboration. 151.30.103.107 (talk) 07:00, March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for working with me on that. There are a lot of policies to keep track of here; WP:COMMONNAME comes up frequently, but it's not always clear cut. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
