User talk:Caterpillar84

Hello, Wikipedia friends. Please be advised that I find templates aggressive and disrespectful. If you'd like to collaborate to improve a page, please engage in a conversation with overt kindness and consideration. Citations missing or inadequate? Help me on the hunt for them rather than propose a total deletion of an article! Other issues? Let's digital high-five and get to work on 'em. I love contributing to the passage of knowledge here and would like to keep the experience uplifting and positive for all parties. Thanks so much and keep rockin'! --Caterpillar84 (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2019 (UTC) p.s. Please familiarize yourself with POLITE, ENGAGED, and WELCOMING etiquette toward relatively new users such as myself. This is all about offering mutual dignity and a group effort toward the addition of knowledge, not a subtraction of it. The wiki ethos is unequivocally all about the spirit of teamwork: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers[reply]

Please don't template me! Everybody makes mistakes, and this user finds user warning templates impersonal and disrespectful. If there's something you'd like to say, please take a moment to write a comment below in your own words.

Dear @Caterpillar84: Have you seen this: [1]. All you need to go, is you plug in a good google book ref, and it generate full harvard style reference for you. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 09:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Caterpillar84:, cracking article though and beautifully written.; Have you thought maybe expanding it out, to GA. scope_creep^Talk 09:28, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Creep Scope. Nice to meet you. Thank you for that tool; I had never seen it before. I'll try to make use of it. Thank you! And I'm glad you enjoyed the page. --Caterpillar84 (talk) 22:07, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

googlebooks metadata[edit]

The metadata at googlebooks is notoriously flawed. With this edit, you added a {{cite book}} template that names a single author (Furia) three times in three different ways. I presume that you used Reftag for Google Books to create that citation. That tool is also flawed. Note that for the legitimate second author it added the parameter |coauthors=Michael L. Lasser which parameter has not been supported by the cs1|2 templates for many years. Do not trust tools. They are not perfect. Please check each and every edit that you make using tools so that others don't have to follow you around cleaning up the mess.
