Speedy deletion nomination of Victor E. Rillieux

Hello Aearthrise,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Victor E. Rillieux for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

A little Latin help

Hi @Aearthrise:, thanks so much for all your contributions!

I have created a personal user award to recognize contributions related to ancient Roman history, which I have dubbed "The Barnstar of Tacitus". Could you check my translation: "stella horreorum Taciti"? Thanks. Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I can certainly help you; the phrase you wrote means the "Star of the granaries of Tacitus". Aearthrise (talk) 20:12, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

So how would I say it correctly? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 20:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I assume you want Classic Latin Pronunciation: Aearthrise (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry, how do I write it correctly? The meaning I'm looking for is the "barnstar of Tacitus". Thanks Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 21:34, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

As a translation, there are different ways to say it: 1.stella granarii, stella horrei meaning "Barn star, Granary star, Storehouse star"; 2.stella horreorum, stella granariorum- "star of barns, star of granaries, star of store houses" work too- 1. singular and 2. is plural. Aearthrise (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. And how do I say "of Tacitus", "Barnstar of Tacitus"? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 22:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Taciti, like how you wrote it, is the correct way of writing "of Tacitus". Aearthrise (talk) 22:43, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Another Latin queation

Salve,

Aiutum! I am struggling with the difference between evocare and devocare, evoco and devoco. I understand evoco to mean to summon, or lure. An evocatio was a ritual designed to "distract" a city's gods by a besieging army. But I find in Pliny's Natural Histories XXVIII ch.4, devocare is used for summoning Jupiter. Are the two interchangeable?

Evocatus is a veteran heeding the call to return to duty. So what would a devocatus be?

If you can help, awesome, don't feel obliged to respond if you can't :-) Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 04:47, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@InformationvsInjustice: taking a quick glance at the prefixes of the words- evocare means calling out ex+ vocare, while devocare is calling down de+ vocare. Beyond that difference I would assume they have a similar or same meaning. As an evocatus is someone called out (i.e. called to return to duty), a devocatus would be someone called down to someone/something, and an advocatus(advocate) is called to someone/something. Aearthrise (talk) 22:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

@Aearthrise: Could the de in devocare be a negative prefix, like dethrone or denounce? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 05:26, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Latin translation

Hi there Aearthrise, I saw that you're proficient in Latin, and wonder if you might be willing to translate a few sentences? They're "Leontius hic jacit fidelis puer dulcisimus patri, pietissimus matri. Qui vixit annis septem et mensis tres et dies sex. Innocens funere raptus, beatus mente, felix et in pace recessit." It comes from a letter written by Robert Howard Hodgkin, and while Google Translate gives the gist of it, it would be nice to have a more accurate translation before incorporating it into the article. The full letter (i.e., the full excerpt of the letter that was published) is: "This morning I set my face against the lovely Cologne Primitives and kept rigidly to Roman and Frankish antiquities. Among other things I copied out some of the Frankish inscriptions on tombstones. One of the fifth century: [above inscription]. I suppose sorrow has been almost the same through all the ages." The letter was written some eight months after Hodgkin's twelve-year-old daughter died. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 01:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Hello Usernameunique! Yes, I can translate this: "Leontius lies here, a faithful boy, the sweetest to his father, the most pious to his mother. He lived seven years, three months, and six days. An innocent taken by death, blessed in mind, he departed happily in peace." Aearthrise (talk) 20:17, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

That's great, thanks very much! I've added the translation to the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

"Alabama Cajans"

Eh, cher — fellow Cajun Wikipedian here, nice to meet you. Thanks for all your good work on the Alabama Creole people page — but I do want to raise one important issue. The "Alabama Cajans/Cajuns" are no relation to either the Louisiana Cajuns or the French colonial settlers of Mobile. They are the descendants of a group of Choctaw Indians that evaded resettlement to Indian Territory in the 19th century. They were mislabeled as "Cajuns" (or "Cajans," a not-uncommon spelling for the Louisiana Cajuns at the time too) in the 1880s and the name stuck. They have long considered it a pejorative and have for decades called themselves the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians. You can see background in the links below or in the ones linked at the MOWA Band article; the WPA Guide was just repeating some common misconceptions of the era. Given the lack of an actual connection, I think the Alabama Cajans section should be removed, but since it's almost entirely your work, I thought I'd give you a heads up.

December 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Alaskan Creole people moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Alaskan Creole people, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

All of the information in that article is from other articles in Wikipedia, so while you're putting that article into a draft, you should also move all the other articles that the information was copied from to draft space too as apparently they don't fit "veritability." Aearthrise (talk) 14:56, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Please peruse WP:OWN. Blanking the draft was not called for and looks like an act of lashing out at the perceived denigration of something you own. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

You accuse me of lashing out without any evidence; I won't tolerate your slander, and I want you to apologize to me now for your attack on my person. Aearthrise (talk) 15:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

I merely pointed out how your actions look. You decided to take it as slander. I have not attacked you. I still suggest you read WP:OWN. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

You, "UtherSRG", posted an inflammatory accusation on my talk page; you purported that the blanking of a page and adding a delete tag on the Alaskan Creole draft page was an action of "ownership." You then demanded that I read the page for ownership disputes, WP:OWN, yet you yourself, being an Admin, ignored the very lines within that read "Always avoid accusations, attacks, and speculations concerning the motivation of any editor."

Your supposed basis for your accusation was that I blanked the page and put a deletion tag. This a Wikipedia sanctioned action under the deletion rule WP:G7.

You escalated this encounter to a personal level attack by making baseless accusations based on your unwarranted speculation. This behavior is not becoming of someone who has been a Wikipedian for as long as you have, and especially not of an Administrator.

I want you to apologize to me now for your personal attacks and baseless accusation and I implore you to read the very rules that you purport to be upholding rather than slandering Wikipedia members. Aearthrise (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

I am sorry that you choose to take things so harshly. I merely looked to help you see how your actions were viewed. G7 is definitely a legitimate criteria for deletion. Without such state criteria, the request looked like lashing out in frustration. With the criteria, it appears less so. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:06, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Issues following drafting of Alaskan Creole people

I'm not really sure what you were trying to accomplish by pasting a massive informational template at the top of Promyshlenniki and Russian America, nor by previously moving them to draftspace, but it is disruptive and I have reverted it. Please see WP:POINT and be more careful about invoking templates that you are not familiar with. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:20, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you @Rosguill:, i'm looking to post the template for a content dispute on ths page. Aearthrise (talk) 16:27, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I had the following encounter with the Wikipedia Administrator @Onel5969: on his talk page}:

discussion copied from Onel's talk page
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Onel, yesterday you posted on my page that you moved the article Alaskan Creole people to drafts, directly after two months of it being public on Wikipedia and already having a considerable amount of good sourced material; the following quote is your reasoning why you moved it to drafts: "I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive." I recommend next time rather than being uncommunicative and timid about the perceived "disruption" of an article, that you either communicate effectively on the talk page of the article, boldly remove the unsourced content, or simply place a "citation needed" tag. You can't expect an editor to know what is in your mind nor have knowledge of your concerns if you choose to remain silent. I responded to your post yesterday, to which you still haven't replied back to me yet: All of the information in that article is from other articles in Wikipedia, so while you're putting that article into a draft, you should also move all the other articles that the information was copied from to draft space too as apparently they don't fit "veritability." XXXXX In regards to the information of the Alaskan Creole people article, the majority of its composition came particularly from the two articles Russian America & Promyshlenniki, with bits of information interspersed from Starozhily, Ninilchik, Alaska, and Kodiak, Alaska; there may be other articles i'm missing, but I don't have access anymore to the history of the Alaskan Creole people article to verify this. I had the Administrator UtherSRG delete the Alaskan Creole people draft; your quick decision to move the article to a draft state indicated that the information within wasn't worth keeping public. I have also moved the two primary articles that composed the article, Russian America & Promyshlenniki to drafts so that you can do your job better and ensure that the information within them is worthy of public view. Aearthrise (talk) 14:44, 18 December 2022 (UTC) So, the fact that I communicated to you is a lack of communication. Interesting. And difficult to respond to something when you didn't bother to ping me on your talk page. In the future, please familiarize yourself with WP:VERIFY. You also need to take a good look at WP:OWN. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with WP policies and procedures. Onel5969 TT me 14:54, 18 December 2022 (UTC) Your lack of communication stems from you not communicating within the last two months of published content and attributing your inability to communicate effectively due to your timidity of your actions being perceived as "disruptive". XXXXX Explain to me now in detail why I would need to look at WP:OWN? What makes you say that I need to read the policy on ownership? I recommend you choose your words carefully in your response, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Aearthrise (talk) 15:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC) Onel5969 reverted the page immediately thereafter with the line only with the word "nonsense". You just reverted my answer on in this thread responding to your question "So, the fact that I communicated to you is a lack of communication." I also asked you in the same post for your reason why you demand that I read WP:OWN. I ask you again to explain in detail now why I would need to look at WP:OWN. Are you making the accusation that I broke WP:OWN rules? If you are, then I will need to escalate this to a dispute and call attention of this to other Wikipedia administrators for arbitration. Wikipedia administrators and their words hold weight, and deflection & unaccountability is unacceptable for Wikipedia administration. Aearthrise (talk) 15:32, 18 December 2022 (UTC) Onel5969 then reverted the page a second time with the line "unwanted comments from someone who is not interested in conversation, only arguing. Now go away and don't post on my talk page again." These are not the actions or words dignified of a Wikipedia administrator; they should understand that the actions and words made in their position is held in a higher regard than standard editors, and should not make accusations unless they have ample evidence.

I want Onel5969 to explain now what he meant in his closing words because he implied I broke WP:OWN rules, and my reputation is at stake. Aearthrise (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

First of all, Onel5969 is not an admin. I'm not really sure why OWN would apply here, but WP:POINT does per your decision to take drastic action against other articles in response to their draftifying of Alaskan Creole people. Please refrain from invoking templates without reading their documentation (or at least just hitting preview before publishing the edit to make sure you're doing what you want to do! I've now had to revert you twice.); dispute resolution processes are not begun by placing requests for intervention on an article, they are begun with discussions on the article's talk page.

My guess as to why Onel drafted the original article was not due to an issue with the underlying verifiability of the content at the articles you pulled it from, but its suitability in establishing notability of the new subject. To establish that the subject "Alaskan Creole people" is notable, you need to provide sources that describe the subject directly, by name, in detail; sources about Promyshlenikii or other Russian groups are not sufficient. Now, looking at Google Scholar, plenty of usable sources exist, so you should have no trouble creating a suitable draft. If you like, I can restore the draftspace revision Draft:Alaskan Creole people so that you can continue work if you like. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Cajuns/Creoles

Hey there — I'm reverting your revert of my edit on Cajuns. Your version:

Although the terms Cajun and Creole today are often portrayed as separate identities, Louisianians of Cajun descent have historically been known as Creoles.

My version:

Although the terms Cajun and Creole today are often portrayed as separate identities, Louisianians of Acadian descent have sometimes been considered Creoles.

I understand and appreciate the broader point, but surely you'd acknowledge that Louisiana Acadians/Cajuns have only sometimes been considered Creole, historically speaking. Sometimes they have! But there are hundreds and hundreds of references through the 19th and 20th centuries that differentiate "Acadians"/"Cajuns" from "Creoles" of all types. To pick just a few:

George Washington Cable, 1881: "The Creoles proper will not share their distinction with the native descendants of those worthy Acadian exiles who, in 1756, and later, found refuge in Louisiana."

Carl Brasseaux, 2005: "The heirs of these three colonial cultural traditions are, of course, white Creoles, Creoles of Color, and Cajuns."

Ruth McEnery Stuart, 1896: "Among the interesting peoples who are ensconced in picturesque homes in remote localities over the Western continent there are probably none about whom hangs so charmed a glamour of romance as the three principal American communities of French speech: the Canadians of Quebec, the Lousiana Acadians, and the Creoles of New Orleans. Although the first two are essentially different from the last, there are certain inherent national qualities in them all that have, through successive generations, preserved them separate and distinct peoples."

And "of Acadian descent" makes more sense than "of Cajun descent," given that Cajun identity is a 19th/20th-century creation, and the key referent is their earlier Acadian ancestry. Flaggingwill (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

You'll find that the usage of the term "Cajun" came about only after the Civil War, evolved throughout the destruction of Louisiana Creole society; for all the time period before the Civil War, there was no discussion about whether Acadian descendants were Creoles or not. They were Acadian Creoles, and thusly so as Creole refers to Latin Louisianian culture. The phrase makes a contrast with the modern understanding of Cajun and Creole, and sheds light on the fact that historically they indeed were known as Creoles, specifically Acadian Creoles. If the reader wants to know how the word evolved from the historical meaning of Creole, they read the sections specifically dedicated to that information: "Etymology and historical usage of the term", and "Cajuns as Louisiana Creoles"

So, I shall revert the phrase back. Aearthrise (talk) 18:46, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

However, I would warn you that your concern (that there is a redirect in draftspace) is a very common occurrence, given that accepted draftspace submissions by the Articles for Creation project tend to have redirects from draftspace to the mainspace. You may also be interested to read WP:RDRAFT and Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 135#Draft Namespace Redirects. Sdrqaz (talk) 18:55, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Each one of those reversions by the editors did nothing to further the cause of deleting that redirected draft. I thank you for your initiative to bring this information to at least my talk page. This is an uncontroversial deletion; can you delete this redirected draft, not only for me, but also all future draft reviewers, so that they may not be bothered by a misplaced draft?

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Aearthrise (talk) 19:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

I think that the reason why "[e]ach one of those reversions by the editors did nothing to further the cause of deleting that redirected draft" is because they didn't agree with the deletion. As I've noted, this is not an uncontroversial deletion – apart from the people objecting in that page's history, I have highlighted pre-existing community consensus on the issue. Again, having a redirect from draftspace to the mainspace is a very common occurrence – being "bothered by a misplaced draft" is very unlikely. My role as an administrator is not to circumvent community consensus. If you want the redirect to be deleted, you should use the redirects for discussion process.

Minor and not-so-minor edits

Hello, I'm BlackcurrantTea. After editing Alaskan Creole people, I looked at your contributions out of curiosity. I noticed that many of them were marked as minor, although they weren't minor in Wikipedia terms, e.g. changing the wording and link in a hatnote, changing 'French Creole culture' to 'The Catholic Latin-Creole culture', adding an image, and changing 'German' to 'Palatine'. If other editors have 'hide minor edits' ticked in their watchlist and recent changes preferences, these changes would be hidden from them. Please take another look at WP:MINOR and be careful when deciding whether to mark an edit as such. Thank you, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 01:12, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Swiss Amish. 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. Better to discuss on the talkpage rather than leaving a diatribe in the edit summary. Eric ^talk 22:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

This whole post is nonsense: you seem to lack the ability to communicate effectively, as your only communications with me on the article Swiss Amish were reversions with no context other than you claiming the information to be "contradictory" to the articles content:

Here are your nonsense reversions with no context, and my reversion with context:

Reverting edit(s) by Aearthrise (talk) to rev. 1179717180 by Materialscientist: Reverting presumed good faith edit that both contradicts the article content and introduces an inappropriate graphic (RW 16.1)

Undid revision 1193449609 by Eric (talk) You claim that the statement "Amish come from Switzerland" is a contradiction, but this whole article has to do with Amish coming from Switzerland. Either you're blind or you don't comprehend the article

Reverting edit(s) by Aearthrise (talk) to rev. 1193449609 by Eric: 2nd rv of unhelpful edit (RW 16.1)

I detailed a full response detailing logic for the edit, which you should have responded with a proper response or argument against the edit. You failed to communicate entirely, and rather decided to post this useless drivel on my page.

Indeed, coming to my page to post this nonsense is just a bullying tactic from your part, to end the conversation through false authority which does not apply at all in this case. All of this instead of providing your detailed reasoning for reverting the edit.

I will not play your ego game, and further, I shall revert your unhelpful, nondescript reversion on Swiss Amish, and I expect you to communicate your reasoning on either the Edit Summary or on the the Talk:Swiss Amish page as you should have done from the beginning. Aearthrise (talk) 23:49, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

As is stated in the Swiss Amish article, the Amish came from what is now France and Germany as well as from Switzerland. Placing a Swiss flag in the article, with the caption "The Amish come from Switzerland", is incorrect and runs counter to Wikipedia's encyclopedic style. Eric ^talk 02:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Unwanted changes to the article "Holy See"

I noticed your recent edit to the 'Holy See' article, changing the term 'Holy See' to 'Holy See of Rome' in the first paragraph. While the latter term exists, in the present time it's not used by the Holy See itself nor by major organizations like the UN, US Department of State, UNESCOor CIA to refer to the See of Rome. For clarity and consistency with established usage, I have reverted the term 'Holy See of Rome' to 'Holy See' as it was before.

Cambridge dictionary definition for Holy See: "the government of the Roman Catholic Church, under the Pope"

Oxford dictionary definition for the Holy See: "the job or authority of the Pope" EXANXC (talk) 13:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Kingdom of Aksum

I was alerted to your piece on Axsum by a discussion on Twitter citing your erroneous information on Greek and the ptotemies in Ethiopia, which is false. Location is unknown and no ptolemies remains have been found in Eritrea or Ethiopia and is said to be Aqiq. No scholar agrees with such. You then make claims Greek was the official language without providing sufficient evidence to such, the script was not invented in the 4th Century, for example Wazeba uses it and neither did Ezana promote the script, I have no idea where you got that from. Definitely needs to be revised. Can you show me inscriptions in Greek prior to Ge'ez? Habesha212 (talk) 16:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Don't bring this nonsense to my talk page. Make your argument under Talk:Kingdom of Aksum#Greek. Aearthrise (talk) 17:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Your agenda drivel nonsense should be bought to the forefront and therefore you will be called out. I saw the discussion on twitter your claims are false and when challenged you can not seem to answer. Habesha212 (talk) 17:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

New York Dutch

Are you aware that the user "Djflem" redirected the article "New York Dutch" over to "Dutch of New York City" essentially erasing it from the encyclopedia without consensus? Jonathan f1 (talk) 01:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

June 2024

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please don't spam me with 5 messages on my talk page. Allan Nonymous (talk) 01:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Allan Nonymous I reverted my post on your page, because I didnt see any point in discussing it further. I didn't spam your page, I simply wrote "I responded to your post on the talk page of Pennsylvania Dutch". Aearthrise (talk) 09:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

5 notifications for one message that was then later removed seems a bit excessive no? I understand you did it in good faith, but please try to be more careful next time. Allan Nonymous (talk) 15:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Preview

I know you have a lot going on right now, but please use the preview button to review and modify your comments before you save them. You have made 40% (!) of the last 100 edits to ANI. That's not how many comments have been made to the thread about you, that's just the number of edits you, personally, have made. That makes it more difficult to edit the page, and it makes it more difficult to review ANI's history to figure out what's been going on. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:53, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see, thank you for informing me. Aearthrise (talk) 17:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

No problem. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

You say that, but then you keep doing it here. There are other methods (besides voluntarily) to enforce this common courtesy if it becomes necessary. Like page blocks, or sitewide blocks. It would be a shame (and a bit ridiculous) for it to come to that. Floquenbeam (talk) 20:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@Floquenbeam: Ah, I thought this post was in relation to the Administrator's request page (I thought that's what ANI meant); and I gave my word I wouldn't do it there. I now see that your post here is in regard to all of Wikipedia. As I ensured there, I ensure furthermore that i'll keep it in a few consecutive edits. I thank you again for informing me. Aearthrise (talk) 20:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

If preview is too annoying, many people also compose comments in their /sandbox. Then, you can save as many intermediate attempts as your heart desires, and copy/paste to wherever you want. Floquenbeam (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
