Thanks for editing at new John C. Brown House, NRHP in Kentucky, mostly moving photos into a nice gallery of two photos. I honestly do try! with pic placement; here I believe i was thinking that placement of two photos was good with one pic in the infobox and one left-aligned thumb. And then later I added another pic for some reason, and wasn't particularly thinking about article-level layout. One couldn't have a one-photo gallery, right? Or what would you do, like, under what circumstances would you use a left-thumb placement?
Also, do you happen to know what a "single pile plan" is? It comes up a lot in Kentucky documents, and I have tried some but failed to understand. I sorta interpret as a deprecating term, like an earl in England referring self-deprecatingly to "my brick pile", as if their castle is merely literally a pile of bricks. -- Doncram ( talk) 21:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello @ MB I hope you're doing well. I see marked PageTriage on Yashomati Maiyaa Ka Nandlala. I was not informed or was aware of spelling mistake in article, or if the article was moved to Yashomati Maiyaa Ke Nandlala. If you check the history of the article which you marked page triage today was already reviewed, so are you gonna/would be inclined to do the same to reduce burden of patroller, or shall I ask assistance from Atlantic306 who reviewed previously. Sorry if I was rude to you. Thank, stay safe. C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi. The problem with that redirect template for Astronomical objects was that both the singular and plural forms (celestial body/bodies) redirect to that page, and I was trying to indicate that there were links to both of those separate on the DAB page. Perhaps a text hatnote would be better? (I'm not too concerned about it - just wanted to explain my rationale for changing it.) Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 02:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, MB. Thanks for reviewing West Hill Residential Historic District. I see that you moved the images all to a gallery at the bottom of the page. Previously each was positioned in the text to illustrate the house being described. I would think the latter is more convenient for the reader - particularly if they're reading from a phone with a small screen - but even if they have a big screen.

I noticed that you tagged this page for deletion but didn't post a notice about the deletion tagging on the talk page of the page creator. You used Twinkle, which is great, and Twinkle should have done the notification for you automatically.

Hi, MB! Regarding your revert at Bush (band), I was also inclined to think the British band may qualify as the primary topic for that title. I proposed that Bush (British band) be moved to Bush (band) yesterday at WP:RM/TR and it seems there were doubts that it would, in fact, qualify. I would still be open to the possibility of that move, though. The only thing I know with certainty is that the status quo (in which a title with a more general parenthetical disambiguator redirects to a title with a more specific disambiguator) isn't appropriate. Would you be up for putting it to a full RM discussion? Graham ( talk) 04:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, MB,
I was leaving a message for Nihiltres' on their talk page and saw messages from you to them about red link hatnotes. It's something you brought up with me in the past. It sounded like there was an existing category that listed pages that had this problem. Can you tell me what that category is? When I get some free time, I'd like to help out there. It's really a problem caused by admins when they delete articles so we should all do what we can to eliminate these eyesores. I can't guarantee to whittle down a list if there are thousands of pages listed but I could help out a bit. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello MB, I see you changed the Glycine Watch SA article to Glycine (watch). When I first began contributing to the article, it was "Glycine Watch", which did not seem appropriate as Glycine Watch is neither the company's full name, nor common name, so I changed it to Glycine (watch). Later, I noticed the title for the Omega watch article was "Omega SA," not Omega (watch). Obviously both Glycine and Omega cannot be named "Glycine" and "Omega" because the names have more recognition has an amino acid and Greek letter, respectively. I thought it would be wise to follow the lead of Omega, since it is such a prominent company, and rename the article again, this time as its full company name "Glycine Watch SA", like "Omega SA". The name change was an attempt at cohesiveness across watch brand articles on Wikipedia. My question to you: should " Omega SA" be "Omega (watch)"? Should " Montres Tudor SA" be "Tudor (watch)"?

On 24 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the slopes near Bass Lake at Flat Top Manor in North Carolina were covered with hundreds of apple trees?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

I've no objection to reverting to your last good edit, but did you mean to revert only one, and have it end up with two Location sections?

I have recently created a page and I see you re-added the redirect. I have talked to many users, and we all thought that it was a fine article (that will be worked on) that does neccisarly require it's own page. Please don't go deleting articles, saying they need more sources. Help get more sources next time or atleast consult me on my talk page? I am the one who wrote the article by the way and for a moment I thought i lost all my work. And if it is to remain how it is, how will we be going about changing the wikiproject canada status from redirect to an article rank. Msaskiw ( talk) 12:20, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
@ Msaskiw and Ovinus: one of the problems is that the Wikimedia Foundation (that's not us, it's the technology organisation that owns Wikipedia) doesn't do enough to write software that infors new users as soon as thetyregister, what the basic requirements are for creating articles. The user has to rely on pot luck finding out themselves - the help is out there, masses of it but there are so many help places and pages you don't know where to start. We feel for you.

Hi MB. You recently corrected PA and other such usages to omit the two-letter abbreviation, rending it Pennsylvania in the chapter list table in the article, Phi Psi (professional).
I understand this meets general guidance in the WP:MOS. However, for clarity and consistency, I'd like to allow for these. Project participants (Fraternity and Sorority Project) have been rather methodical in recent years, moving chapter lists and infoboxes to adopt consistent formats, this being one of them across several thousand pages. (That's an example of consensus.) We've found that the two-letter abbreviations, with underlying WLs, get the job done, importantly allow for a narrower table, and are thus more readable. In the infoboxes, usage is split: where used in the address fields (not founding school/city), they follow the standard US Postal abbreviations which casual researchers are looking for when addressing an envelope. Founding cities and states are spelled out. It's highly unlikely that non-US readers would seek a postal address here, and run into confusion. Now, in body text we would assuredly spell out the full name of the state. Yours was a good faith, but single change, impacting a category of articles that use this format widely. Wikipedia allows for deviation from the MOS where it improves clarity. I hope you see this as reasonable. Assuming so, I reverted your change. Jax MN ( talk) 19:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello MB, I'm curious about this edit. I didn't know there was a certain level of significance (or criteria) necessary for including whether or not you someone served in the military in the infobox. Can you point me to any documentation on that? I've always thought you are or are not a military person, and there isn't necessarily a gray area like this. Similar to whether or not someone is in a category for the topic. Thank you, -- Engineerchange ( talk) 04:08, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello MB, You left a message on my talk page saying you unreviewed 2022 The Centaurus Mall Fire Incident, if this because it is being considered for a merge or some other reason? Regards. Hughesdarren ( talk) 08:41, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Added an info box to Wolfgang Hoffmann BUT it doesn't quite fit the bill. Is there such a thing as a LIST of Infobox templates from which to choose an appropriate format? Infobox seems to go nowhere in this case!
Am also on the track of further information; have temporarily entered some of it into the Infobox, but awaiting cite-able references to confirm and expand. Thank you! All the Best! Shir-El too 10:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
{{
infobox architect}}
seems to be the best fit for this person. I moved some of the info around and added a bit. Would need to know more about the additional information you may add. If a person was also significant in a second career, it is possible to use a second infobox tailored to that and usually there is a way to combine them.
MB
15:24, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Above confirmed! Have added two new sections. However, Infobox will not accept second wife or shows child only (per final line). Also unable to name reference [9] so as to reuse for same final line. Beyond my ken. Cheers! Shir-El too 20:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I do not have a lot of experience editing Wikipedia pages but was wondering what portions of the last update I did to Calabogie Motorsports Park constitute an advert and what changes you'd suggest to still provide the information people would be looking for? It is a Motorsports facility and people come to Wikipedia to find out about the track and what is offered there and so listing what facilities and services are available seems very appropriate.

On 24 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the slopes near Bass Lake at Flat Top Manor in North Carolina were covered with hundreds of apple trees? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

"Moves do need to be discussed if there is an objection."
Who has expressed an objection, and when? I haven't seen one. Only someone reverting it purely on the grounds that it's "undiscussed" which is not a ground for reversion at all. — Smjg ( talk) 22:48, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Match wagon (disambiguation) (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Hello, I'm confused by your revert on Raichur University
I've no objection to reverting to your last good edit, but did you mean to revert only one, and have it end up with two Location sections?
No problem if that's the case, just wanted to make sure =] Mlkj ( talk) 19:05, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
I have recently created a page and I see you re-added the redirect. I have talked to many users, and we all thought that it was a fine article (that will be worked on) that does neccisarly require it's own page. Please don't go deleting articles, saying they need more sources. Help get more sources next time or atleast consult me on my talk page? I am the one who wrote the article by the way and for a moment I thought i lost all my work. And if it is to remain how it is, how will we be going about changing the wikiproject canada status from redirect to an article rank. Msaskiw ( talk) 12:20, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
@ Msaskiw and Ovinus: one of the problems is that the Wikimedia Foundation (that's not us, it's the technology organisation that owns Wikipedia) doesn't do enough to write software that infors new users as soon as thetyregister, what the basic requirements are for creating articles. The user has to rely on pot luck finding out themselves - the help is out there, masses of it but there are so many help places and pages you don't know where to start. We feel for you.

My webmaster is looking in to the problem why I am not receiving some mails sent through the Wiki mail system. Could you please send me a test mail using it so we can check my server. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 14:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi MB. You recently corrected PA and other such usages to omit the two-letter abbreviation, rending it Pennsylvania in the chapter list table in the article, Phi Psi (professional).
I understand this meets general guidance in the WP:MOS. However, for clarity and consistency, I'd like to allow for these. Project participants (Fraternity and Sorority Project) have been rather methodical in recent years, moving chapter lists and infoboxes to adopt consistent formats, this being one of them across several thousand pages. (That's an example of consensus.) We've found that the two-letter abbreviations, with underlying WLs, get the job done, importantly allow for a narrower table, and are thus more readable. In the infoboxes, usage is split: where used in the address fields (not founding school/city), they follow the standard US Postal abbreviations which casual researchers are looking for when addressing an envelope. Founding cities and states are spelled out. It's highly unlikely that non-US readers would seek a postal address here, and run into confusion. Now, in body text we would assuredly spell out the full name of the state. Yours was a good faith, but single change, impacting a category of articles that use this format widely. Wikipedia allows for deviation from the MOS where it improves clarity. I hope you see this as reasonable. Assuming so, I reverted your change. Jax MN ( talk) 19:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello MB, I'm curious about this edit. I didn't know there was a certain level of significance (or criteria) necessary for including whether or not you someone served in the military in the infobox. Can you point me to any documentation on that? I've always thought you are or are not a military person, and there isn't necessarily a gray area like this. Similar to whether or not someone is in a category for the topic. Thank you, -- Engineerchange ( talk) 04:08, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello MB, You left a message on my talk page saying you unreviewed 2022 The Centaurus Mall Fire Incident, if this because it is being considered for a merge or some other reason? Regards. Hughesdarren ( talk) 08:41, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Added an info box to Wolfgang Hoffmann BUT it doesn't quite fit the bill. Is there such a thing as a LIST of Infobox templates from which to choose an appropriate format? Infobox seems to go nowhere in this case!
Am also on the track of further information; have temporarily entered some of it into the Infobox, but awaiting cite-able references to confirm and expand. Thank you! All the Best! Shir-El too 10:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
{{

seems to be the best fit for this person. I moved some of the info around and added a bit. Would need to know more about the additional information you may add. If a person was also significant in a second career, it is possible to use a second infobox tailored to that and usually there is a way to combine them.

Above confirmed! Have added two new sections. However, Infobox will not accept second wife or shows child only (per final line). Also unable to name reference [9] so as to reuse for same final line. Beyond my ken. Cheers! Shir-El too 20:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I do not have a lot of experience editing Wikipedia pages but was wondering what portions of the last update I did to Calabogie Motorsports Park constitute an advert and what changes you'd suggest to still provide the information people would be looking for? It is a Motorsports facility and people come to Wikipedia to find out about the track and what is offered there and so listing what facilities and services are available seems very appropriate.
Thank you. TheColKlink ( talk) 21:53, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I'm a frequent editor of the Triton Jr-Sr High School wikipedia page, I've recently had trouble fixing image syntax and I've seen you've corrected my mistake, If you could show me how to fix that I'd appreciate it.

You have several. They'll keep until you can read them. Take care, Chris. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:23, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
