Thanks

Thanks for spotting the article that I created six years ago. I'm not sure that the duplicate refdef was the best bit, and therefore I find your edit summary... unusual. Its usual to fix errors and to encourage bold editors to do more. I'm not sure that calling out editors for minor syntax they made in 2012 is going to help. Still its up to you.

I guess I figure that, after six years, you were either unaware of the problem or didn't care about it. If you didn't care, then why should you care about it being fixed? Or, maybe it initiated you to reconsider examining articles for error messages after you edit. If you were unaware, you now are, and I think that helps too. Either way, it's interesting to dig into article histories to see how long referencing errors were allowed to hang around. It has given some insight into the lack belief in the fundamental tenet that content must be verifiable. -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
