Deleted Messege:
[edit]Hello, I have seen that a user recently blanked you and deleted your messeges multiple times without any confrimation from you. This does raise my eyebrow. Can you please inform me of what is happening, in case I can help [I know I seem Inexperienced but I recently had to change account because of password issues].

- It also seems that she probably does not have a user before her as she is ghosting you. However, she may have one but I don't know why they wouldn't tell you. DUCK.IN.A.LEMONADE.STAND (talk) 17:01, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Baldwin Township, Pennsylvania
[edit]It isn't helpful to add a short description that duplicates the title of the article. See WP:SDNONE or, for that matter, the first sentence of WP:Short description, which starts, "The short description of a Wikipedia page is a brief phrase intended to complement and clarify the page title". I have modified Baldwin Township to use Short description none. I did the same with North Fayette Township, Pennsylvania, because that is on my watchlist too.

- I reverted you on both. While it might be abundantly obvious to you and I as individuals who are aware of how localities are incorporated in Pennsylvania, even only marginally expanding short descriptions like "Township in Pennsylvania, US" are valuable in clearly identifying the subject as a municipality in the US. This also keeps with the norm across other municipal shortdescs. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:06, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- You are seriously claiming that "Township in Pennsylvania" clarifies "Baldwin Township, Pennsylvania"? Bruce leverett (talk) 03:23, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- Well, no, I'm saying "Township in Pennsylvania, US" is sufficiently superior to no shortdesc as to clear the rather low bar that WP:SDNONE sets. It does not duplicate the title, but instead make it clear that this is an article about a location. For someone unfamiliar, this article could be about a book with that title, a fictional location, or a private property. ~ Pbritti (talk) 12:28, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- I thought of another issue, which is that for many townships, such as Mt. Lebanon, the title of the article doesn't say "township" (i.e. it's not part of the WP:COMMONNAME). So putting that word in the short description atually provides information. In fact, many of the people who live here don't know that it's a township.
- I still think it looks pretty silly to have the SDs that we now have for Baldwin twp. and North Fayette twp., but consistency with other twps. is not a bad thing. Bruce leverett (talk) 13:44, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Aquilegia confusa
[edit]
On 22 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aquilegia confusa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the expansion of glaciers created two distinct forms of Aquilegia confusa, with individual populations better adapted to different elevations? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aquilegia confusa. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aquilegia confusa), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
