Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Five pillars

Hello, and thanks for the addition. Just wanted to mention that someone may revert your edit because there is an ongoing discussion about this very topic, the use of WP:5, on the talk page. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it would be an uncontroversial addition; I wasn't aware of the current discussion surrounding it. Thank you for bringing this to my notice. mwwv (converse) 16:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. Yes, it does seem an obvious addition. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect “correction” to en dash

Hi,

I have reverted your article text edits to dot-matrix display, which while I am sure they were in good faith, were absolutely incorrect. Unfortunately I am unable to revert the article title from the move you performed, since the redirect prevents moving back. This will require assistance to fix.

At Talk:Dot–matrix display#En dash vs hyphen in title I wrote a full explanation, including relevant examples from the very MOS you cited, of why an en dash is incorrect in this instance.

Regards, — tooki (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I'll tag the redirect for speedy deletion and make the move. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! 😊 — tooki (talk) 11:06, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Aparna (television presenter)

On 18 July 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Aparna (television presenter), which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Schwede 66 21:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

for the acknowledgement of the prod issue, pity about Trove though, it has been going down/offline recently, making its usage a bit of a random event... JarrahTree 03:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your reverts of my edits

About your reverts of myedits here and special:Diff/1239445013/1239530065: I did those edits under the policy of biographies of iving people, which states A harmful statement about a small group or organization comes closer to being a BLP problem than a similar statement about a larger group; and when the group is very small, it may be impossible to draw a distinction between the group and the individuals that make up the group. This is under the section "Legal persons and groups," which is technically about corporations, which can sometimes employ tens (if not hundreds!) of thousands of people. In that context, a band would be on the extreme end of a "very small group." Also, the biography articles without living parameter states that When an article is about many persons (such as a list of persons), the editor needs to see if at least one of the persons is still alive. If they are then living=y should be used. If all persons in the list are dead then living=n should be used. and WP:BLP states Anyone born within the past 115 years[...]is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death.

In any case, if this band exists (which, they probably do) and is notable (which, as someone who's not a J-rock fan, I find more questionable), so do reliable sources. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out I owe you an apology. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, it's alright. Don't sweat about it too much, it's been a while, that discussion is 13 years old, and consensus can very well change. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 19:19, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
