Hi John! I watch a lot of Court shows and hear things that interest me. Today I heard someone say that the pin on their lapel represented the Combat Infantry Badge.I thought it must be something special, so of course I Googled it... Wow! That is very special, and what an honor to have those men still alive, who stood right up to the enemy, maybe even breathing the same air! Some of the bravest men in the world are in the United States Military! Thank you for risking your life for some war that you probably didn't really believe in and that we finally lost. Men of honor and dignity!! If you updated the page to add or correct information, and happen to be one of these men, or know one, thank you and God Bless you!

Hey John, how are you? I hope you are doing fine. I was trying to add images in infobox same as on New York City article, but without alternate images.

Hi John of Reading, first, let me thank you for your efforts over the years to correct my numerous typos. Second, one problem that comes up though, is that prior to the mid to later 19th century, spelling was not fixed. Some words such as Rein Deer or Rifle Man were in the process of transition, and in some cases even individuals were inconsistent from one document to another in how they spelled their own names. And then there are idiosyncratic abbreviations. I admit that I am not consistent in my practices, but in general I try to favor function over form and follow the spelling in the source to facilitate searching by others. The result can be that the same name may manifest itself in two, three, or more forms within the same article. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 16:40, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

I ran AWB on this version of Pax Amicus Theatre that has two maintenance templates. AWB did not wrap them with {{ MI}}. I've never seen it not do that before. Any clue? MB 05:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi John of Reading, I often come across wikilinks in section headers and was considering writing regex to find and do the bulk of the work to change to 'see also'. I suspect that perhaps I would be reinventing the proverbial wheel. Do you have something along these lines? Best regards, Neils51 ( talk) 14:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I noticed in National Museum Zaječar, AWB added MI around a "citations needed" template and "expand" template. In the next edit, a bot removed it. I contacted the bot operator who doesn't really care but was told by one user not that expand is not a maintenance/cleanup template so shouldn't be within MI (see User_talk:Kanashimi/Archive_1) section Expand_by_language_templates_in_{{Multiple_issues}}, because it's not a listed in Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup. But I see it there in section 6. Another user disagreed and started at discussion at at the MI template over a year ago and no one commented. The issue apparently died. We now have two tools disagreeing. I don't suppose you would care to take the lead in resolving this. MB 02:14, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi John of Reading, first, let me thank you for your efforts over the years to correct my numerous typos. Second, one problem that comes up though, is that prior to the mid to later 19th century, spelling was not fixed. Some words such as Rein Deer or Rifle Man were in the process of transition, and in some cases even individuals were inconsistent from one document to another in how they spelled their own names. And then there are idiosyncratic abbreviations. I admit that I am not consistent in my practices, but in general I try to favor function over form and follow the spelling in the source to facilitate searching by others. The result can be that the same name may manifest itself in two, three, or more forms within the same article. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 16:40, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
thanks for your help edit, on Template:introductory pages!!

I ran AWB on this version of Pax Amicus Theatre that has two maintenance templates. AWB did not wrap them with {{ MI}}. I've never seen it not do that before. Any clue? MB 05:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi John of Reading, I often come across wikilinks in section headers and was considering writing regex to find and do the bulk of the work to change to 'see also'. I suspect that perhaps I would be reinventing the proverbial wheel. Do you have something along these lines? Best regards, Neils51 ( talk) 14:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I noticed in National Museum Zaječar, AWB added MI around a "citations needed" template and "expand" template. In the next edit, a bot removed it. I contacted the bot operator who doesn't really care but was told by one user not that expand is not a maintenance/cleanup template so shouldn't be within MI (see User_talk:Kanashimi/Archive_1) section Expand_by_language_templates_in_{{Multiple_issues}}, because it's not a listed in Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup. But I see it there in section 6. Another user disagreed and started at discussion at at the MI template over a year ago and no one commented. The issue apparently died. We now have two tools disagreeing. I don't suppose you would care to take the lead in resolving this. MB 02:14, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Have you considered splitting the Reading article into one for the town / urban area (using {{ infobox UK place}}) and another for the Borough (using {{ infobox settlement}}). The article is quite long and I suggest it would be improved by hiving off the political and administrative details to another article.
