National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Babel

I think you should change it from Tagalog to Filipino. Jleo22 (talk) 14:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not disruptive edits

Hello, my edits are not disruptive. The pictures used on the Wikipedia pages were stolen from my sister who owns that picture. I was trying to give credit where credit is due. Also, I am knowledgeable in textiles as my said sister owns a fashion brand using those textiles. Excuse me for not including a proper source yet. 2601:205:4100:CA:45A8:203D:B7B2:A90 (talk) 13:15, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Script-assisted fixes

Hi there! Can you make sure your script isn't changing dates in the references, titles of external web pages, and adding spelling errors? Thank you! Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 01:11, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:OVERLINK

(comment in non-admin capacity) Hi, Migfab. Echoing Ed's point from last month, could you please be more careful in your usage of the OVERLINK script? It's a very opinionated script, and its author's definition of "overlinkng" is significantly broader than what MOS:OVERLINK actually says. For instance, here, "Massachusetts" and "New York (state)" are overlinked, but New York City is not. Here, "assault" is a reasonable link because it helps the reader understand what crime Murray was charged with. (Something like Alice assaulted Bob, on the other hand, might be overlinked.) Here, most removals are valid, but "per capita income" and "poverty line" are relatively technical terms that should definitely be linked.

These scripts you're using are highly context-sensitive, and meant to be used by editors with a strong grasp of the relevant guidelines and norms. There's a reason that we generally don't allow bots to perform such tasks. There are many variations as to why it might or migt not be appropriate to link to a term; another way to look at it is that there is no term that it would categorically be overlinking to link to. If you're not yet an expert on these nuances, that's fine! I definitely wasn't when my account was 7 months old. Or 7 years old, probably, honestly. But please understand that in a lot of cases you're editing articles that much thought has gone into the presentation of, and that you should fully familiarize yourself with the context in which a link appears before removing it as overlinked.

Happy editing. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 23:02, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scripting error

Hello, happy new year! Your recent edit on Nabunturan changed an image's size syntax from 120x80px (valid syntax) to 120x80p (invalid syntax), and made the image show at 100% size, filling and breaking the page. Letting you know so that you can adjust any further scripting you do to avoid repeating such problematic errors. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 04:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Zinnober9. Thank you for the message and a happy new year! Migfab008 (talk) 05:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AIV reporting

Hi – Thanks for editing Wikipedia. I want to talk to you about this report you made to AIV today on John Mikael Castro.

The last edit this user made to the encyclopedia was at 2306 GMT on January 15. Here's what you did after they'd been inactive for more than twelve hours:

You warned them at 1233 GMT today about an edit to List of programs broadcast by GMA News TV International. That edit was made on January 2.
You then warned the user two minutes later about an edit they made on December 31.
You next warned the user one minute after that about an edit they made over 24 hours prior.
You gave a level 4 final warning four minutes later about an edit they made a little less than 24 hours ago.
After waiting another four minutes, you reported them to AIV.

That's four warnings and an AIV report in a space of eleven minutes about edits that are stale at best.

Do you think we don't notice that kind of thing? It's entirely inappropriate to go back through an editor's contributions, pick out old diffs, give warnings when the editor isn't even active, and then report them to AIV. Besides wasting our time, this could be considered hounding, and we take that very seriously. I don't care if you just found their problematic edits. AIV reports are to prevent disruption, not to assuage your ego or your annoyance at the trouble you've had to go to to fix it.

I've looked at your previous AIV reports and they seem fine, so I don't know if this was an honest mistake or something else. Regardless, consider this your only warning: don't do it again. I've worked AIV for more than 15 years, so believe me when I tell you that repeated bad reports to AIV are a ticket to ANI, and you don't want any part of ANI.

We appreciate your vigilance, but dial it back just a skosh. Thanks. Katie^talk 16:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changing "Philippine pages"

Whatever is called Philippine English, I don't it them improved by you. Philippine dates can be dmy or mdy, there isn't a national date.

And "Philippine English". What is that? I don't know what it is, but I certainly know what it isn't. I guess it's for pages actually written by Philippine editor, not any page with the word Philippine inside it. Auntie Kathleen (talk) 13:58, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jock Semple dates

Hello,

You created: Special:PermanentLink/1130639034, citing "(script-assisted date audit and style fixes per MOS:NUM, American English)". Here's a thing to think about.

If you read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Consistency carefully, you'll see that the manual of style specifies that the "Access and archive dates in an article's citations should all use the same format", which may be:

the format used for publication dates in the article (see above);
the format expected in the citation style adopted in the article; or
yyyy-mm-dd

Or, to put it another way, you would have met the manual of style requirements by putting all the access and archive dates in yyyy-mm-dd format - which is the format that I prefer using in all circumstances, on the grounds that: it's concise, unambiguous, and not nation-specific.

Report for DXQM

Hi, Migfab008!

Can I ask questions about the report of Home Radio Cagayan de Oro. Will this radio station DXQM-FM changes its programming and reformatting for the relaunch of its new branding on January 30, 2023, amongst other Home Radio's provincial stations that will having a new flagship radio station of Aliw Broadcasting Corporation, or it still carries the Home Radio branding like its Cebu station?

Hoping that you'll answer. Thanks and more power to you! Trizailla Jemz (talk) 14:23, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trizalla Jemz, it depends on the reliable source says. Migfab008 (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Short description

Yo. I reverted your change to the Panzer Dragoon Saga short description. Per WP:SHORTDESC, the genre is unnecessary in most cases. Thanks. Popcornfud (talk) 13:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

David Ho

Why you undid it? It just relocation and remove redundant repeat? It has lot of repeated sentences eg Chinese Engineering Academy. US National Academy etc. What's problem with you? 119.56.17.133 (talk) 11:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@119.56.17.133, This is not an improvement. This edit revision by 119.56.17.18 removes some content and it might have been disruptive. However, this edit by Lightoil was reverting his edits adequently. Migfab008 (talk) 11:37, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why disrputive? actually both of you are disruptive. previously its has lots of repetition so hence removed. 119.56.17.133 (talk) 11:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so if you say this edit is disruptive, I will not do it again. Hence, I am so sorry for that. If I disrupt Wikipedia unexpectedly, I would be blocked by editing. Sorry for that 119.56.17.133. I will not do it again disruptively. Migfab008 (talk) 11:44, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Davy Crockett (nuclear device)

Just be aware that you script changed armour to armor in the infobox. If the armour line was actually used on this page, it would probably have broken the infobox. Template:Infobox weapon does not indicate that armor can be substituted for armour. You may want to inspect other pages you have used the script on for this issue. Kylesenior (talk) 08:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will always respect the WP:ENGVAR as of now. Thank you Kylesenior for this message. I appreciate that. Migfab008 (talk) 08:11, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Script

Your script for fixing MOS:NUM can fix the dates of an article and adds the Philippine English template automatically. On my script, it cannot add the Philippine English template automatically, it only fixes the dates of an article. Is there missing on my scripts? SeanJ 2007 (talk) 06:31, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shortened footnotes

I noticed you removed {{Use shortened footnotes}} from at least two articles, Gregorian calendar and Pope Gregory XIII, and did not explain why. I notice both articles do in fact use shortened footnotes. Would you please explain your reasoning? Jc3s5h (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful

In this edit, you introduced a typo by changing the correctly-spelled derailment to "deraillment", changed the correctly-spelled proper noun Greyhound to "Grayhound", and changed cancelled to canceled when both are acceptable in American English. In summary, nothing you did here improved the article in any way. You need to be much less careless if you're going to be making edits like these all over the place. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:58, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will be more carful. Migfab008 (talk) 08:37, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another request to be careful - you changed "colour" in a template parameter to "color". --Golbez (talk) 13:57, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Using MOSNUM script to change citation dates (please don't)

Hi Migfaboo8, I have reverted your use of the MOSNUM script at 2023 United States East Coast wildfire smoke. As another editor has mentioned, YYYY-MM-DD is a valid format for references. Editing the dates in a reference provides no aesthetic improvements and impedes the translatability of Wikipedia.

I do not use this script, but I believe it is possible to turn off this function. I encourage you to do that. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Wracking ^talk! 04:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
