Basis point definition

I see that you reverted my change to the basis point definition in the "Parts-per notation" article.

The definition, wherever you look, is one part in ten thousand, not one part in ten thousand per annum. And as for common usage, for example, if the yield of a Treasury note rises to 1.05% from 1% it is said to have moved by five bips, and a fund with expenses of 0.45% is said to be five bips more expensive than one with a 0.40% ratio. These are all time-independent changes.

An annual interest rate should be expressed as "basis points per annum", although people commonly omit the "per annum" in the same way that it is commonly omitted from "percent per annum", but that doesn't mean that the unit itself has time dependence any more than percent does.

You could alter the article to express the above, but as it stands the article is incorrect.

People v. Turner

Hi. Your edit to People v. Turner has been reverted. I know you don't edit here that often, but you've been doing so since 2010, and should know by now that Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, as explained here. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:11, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Southampton Cenotaph, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

SPI

Hi - thanks for your recent report at SPI - your suspicions were correct. A few notes for future reference, in case you need to file a report again:

• If the proposed master is already blocked/tagged as a sock, list the original account rather than the sock as the master.
• Please provide diffs, rather than unlinked references to particular versions of pages. There is information on how to do this at WP:DIFF
• Some really good general advice on filing SPI cases can be found at User:Blablubbs/How to file a good SPI.

Thanks again for the report, cheers Girth Summit _(blether) 20:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

African literature

I am sure you wanted to do something different from this, but I can not reasonably guess. Please feel free to undo what you wanted to undo. Ymblanter (talk) 09:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

My mistake. I undid a correct reversal. Keesal (talk) 09:44, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. Ymblanter (talk) 10:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello

Sorry for messing up the Wikipedia page called "List of countries and dependencies by area" but i was trying to give proof that the page was wrong. I also tried for the page, "Aland but i was trying to do the total area (13,518 sq km) but most websites doubt it but i thought it was true because of bing.com (which is similar to google but a little different) and it said 5,419 sq mi which i tried to translate by sq km. I'm sorry. Now i realise that the websites that talk about the island itself just prefer it to be the land area (1,580 sq km), also, i was trying to prove that Artsakh is nearly the size of Qatar because of mapfight which was a website where you can compare areas. I hope you get what i'm trying to say. Anyway, i'm very sorry for messing with other pages as well. Thanks for reading. Locked Empire (talk) 18:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
