stub-sorting

Hallo, Good to see someone else attacking the backlog! (Multiple Association Division was on my watchlist after I PRODded it, and, as sometimes happens, by the time I'd PRODded it I forgot to stub-sort it, so I spotted it when you sorted it - it's usually impossible to know who else is working on them). I hope that the recent flood of stubs was a one-off catchup operation and once we've got it cleared we'll be back to the usual steadier flow. I tend to pick off the ones which look interesting in some way - likely to be in need of a DEFAULTSORT, or to check for incoming links, or part of a set in some way, and I always take care of any which file under "P". If 25 other people adopted a letter of the alphabet we'd keep them under control! Happy Editing! PamD 11:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

...And we've now got it down to below 100 for the first time in quite a while! Well done. PamD 23:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

... and now down to zero - though I see you last edited early this morning, and I'm sure I saw 48 or so entries in the list earlier today, so someone else has obviously blasted through a lot of them! Well done us all. Now we wait for the next bot to drag a batch of elderly untagged stubs into the category. PamD 21:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

And I will be able to do some gnome-work on other areas I work on as possible. Rpyle731^talk 01:13, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Wichmann the Elder

Do I have the sort key and name field correct for this article? I have looked at the relevant manual articles, but wanted a second opinion. Thank you.

I have made some changes, following the precedent of Henry VIII of England. The {{persondata}} entry should be his name proper, not some sort key. The {{defaultsort}} entry doesn't matter all that much since we currently don't have articles on any other Wichmanns - if we had, I think your sorting and mine wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Impossible Dream (game publisher)

Hello Rpyle731,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Impossible Dream (game publisher) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Tco03displays (talk) 04:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Dreaming of the Tiger Spring

A couple of questions on the coord template I've added: would this be considered a type:waterbody as I have put, or should it be type:landmark? Also, is there consensus/policy as to where in the article the coord template is to be placed? I've seen it in several places in different articles. Thanks in advance. Rpyle731^talk 22:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I checked a couple of other Chinese spring articles, and the only one which didn't use type:waterbody was primarily about a hill, not the spring. So that seems to be correct. Regarding the template's position, Template:Coord says: "Per WP:ORDER, the template is placed in articles after any navigation templates, but before any Persondata or Defaultsort templates, or Categories." So you did that correctly, too. Thanks for improving the article! Huon (talk) 23:10, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Your fixes on Indian childhood cirrhosis

This is regarding your fixes on Indian childhood cirrhosis vide this edit wherein you have used author2 rather than coauthor in {{cite journal}} template. Could you please explain the rationale behind. Further, in case of more than one coauthors use author2, author3 and so on, better still last2, first2, and so on, and that too without capitalisation. Also look up WP:DATESPROJECT, Wikipedia:Date formatting and linking poll and Wikipedia talk:Date debate as a number of conventions are followed for date, none of which are thought to be wrong. Diptanshu^Talk 14:25, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

My understanding was that the coauthor parameter was deprecated, so per my understanding, I changed coauthor to author2 (and author3, etc if needed.) As for dates, I was looking at articles with Category:CS1 errors: dates, and trying to follow MOS:DATEFORMAT. If I have made errors, I am sorry. Rpyle731^talk 03:44, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I was unaware that coauthors was depricated but when you use author2, make it a point not to include all the coauthors under author2 (which you have done in the case that I pointed out). I would strongly insist that rather than using author2, use last2 and first2. I will keep MOS:DATEFORMAT in my consideration. Diptanshu^Talk 13:19, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Modifying and removing deprecated parameters might indeed be important, but I would invite you to and insist that you also participate in WP:CLEANUP, WP:COPYEDITORS, WP:TYPO and WP:WIKIFY. Diptanshu^Talk 07:04, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

typo in template

The Template:Infobox water buffalo breed (talk · links · edit) seems to be adding an extraneous "}}". I don't feel comfortable trying to fix the template, so if an expert could step in and make the correction, that would be great. Thanks in advance. Rpyle731^talk 07:55, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up. Yunshui ^雲_水 09:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=3dz0m2ubQw1KSnb_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_9nsdnpNOAG0nplj&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Wasi (duo)

I am trying to fix a Cite error in the above article. The original source [3] shows the author as "Becky (Contributor)". A previous wiki-editor had put |first1=Becky| and left |last1=| blank, giving the Cite error. I have tried |first=Becky| and |last=| as suggested in one of the Help articles; still an error. Not sure if there is a proper way to fix this, and i don't know where else to RTFM. Thanks in advance. Rpyle731^talk 10:25, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I messed around a bit, and eventually just put Becky in the last name spot, which got rid of all the problems. It shows up as if one only had her first name, but again, it's just in the last name spot. If you want, you could put "contributor" somewhere in there to make clear that we have no idea if that's that person's real name. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 13:50, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

About Kushwati

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Kushwati a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Category:Cities and towns in Kushinagar district^(talk) 07:12, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, CASSIOPEIA. I am a bit confused. I did a stub sort on Kushwati, standard edit. There was no cut and paste that I am aware of. My edit no longer shows on the current draft version of the page, nor in my contributions. Perhaps there was an edit conflict which did not show on my screen? Thank you for the heads-up, in any case.
