Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
While you are correct that navboxes should not contain external references as per WP:NAV, when you move something in a list with only one entry to notes as you did in Template:List of systems of plant taxonomy it has the effect of suppressing that entry completely.-- Michael Goodyear ( talk) 11:51, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Any way you could do that article title switchover (if you consider it justified) at Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2015? I'm thinking that concerns of length should be addressed, and that we should have it as part one of 2 articles for this year, i.e. Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2015, January-June? Once I get to the end of June, if this is okay, I'd open up the second half of the year's coverage with, July-December, etc. No obligations involved in this of course.

@ NSH002: I've noticed you're replacing the former monoaminergics and catecholaminergics templates with {{ serotonergics}} and {{ adrenergics}}, presumably per the tfd; unfortunately, you're placing the incorrect template on many drug/pharmaceutical pages by doing this substitution. I'd suggest you simply delete the templates instead of adding a substitute. Seppi333 ( Insert 2¢) 23:29, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Well, thank you for having answered my message, NHS002, but at least it is possible to save my Template:United Kingdom & Ireland Radiotelevision Broadcasting, instead of deleting it? I mean after you have deleted it, save it in a page where i can still see it, you see I'm asking you because my parents are very proud of it, and they are ery sad at the idea of this template being deleted, so if you can help me still see this template after it has been deleted, I would be grateful to you forever.

Hope's all's well there, N. Knocking again to squeeze that bulging bean of yours for the usual technical insight and perhaps fixes. Could you chuck a shufti at the ref formatting on the Tel Rumeida which, unlike the main text, is all squeezed up, making the article look like an outsized body supported by tapering pins? Reminds me of the Lawrence Makoare monster in The Dead Lands. There must be some gnome my editing unleashed to make it trim down to the proportions of the final quote, though strain the cerebral hemorrhoids as I will, I can't nut it out (as usual). Thanks.

Hi -- thanks for looking over my page -- actually, the page about me. I hadn't known about it for some time, and just recently found your question about links by which to check Morningside and Go. Morningside was the long-lived morning show hosted by Peter Gzowski onCBC radio in the 70's-90's; in fact Peter had me on two times in each of those decades, plus repeats. Go was the Ottawa pre-cursor of Brent Bambury's current national CBC radio show Day Six. Peter is sadly dead, but Brent might easily remember me. Another CBC radio show with my work was As It Happens, also a show called Wordbeat hosted by dub poet Lillian Allen (I notice you have poetry on your page, so thought you might recognize her name?). I don't know if these are archived or referenced on-line... -- all best, Sue SusanMcMaster ( talk) 19:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

I am officially asking you to stay away from me. If you have a problem with me, take it up with an administrator. Otherwise, I will file a complaint for harassment. WikiEditorial101 ( talk) 02:52, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps it is you who should cultivate the skill of good reading comprehension by rereading both your comments and mine. I'll assume good faith, as surely you would never purposely assert something incorrect. First of all, I referenced both the Talk page of the article in question and my User Talk page. If you'll reread above you'll see that I purposely made this distinction very clear to avoid any confusion. I only mentioned my own Talk page to illustrate my general approach, as to facilitate your understanding, as I assumed that you had been presumptuous rather than outright insidious, and to also indicate another source of slander. So secondly, you're asking me to believe that you were merely anticipating that others would violate Policy by not assuming good faith rather than you yourself not assuming good faith? What a convoluted rhetorical fallacy. It would appear that, ironically, you initially projected on to me your own reluctance to admit error, and thus the spin. Look, I don't have the same desire as you to be "right"; I have simply defended myself against false accusations and what I perceive as a biligerant attack by a seemingly authoritarian personality. The reason it took me so long to respond to you is that I consider it an utter waste of time, and did not want to dignify your slander with any response at all, though I did decide to reply, as bullying in general makes me uneasy, and I feel that it may beneficial to others who encounter you that I not lend my strength to any future mishandling of any other new editors, as bullies tend to be emboldened when no one stands up to them. But had I known that you wouldn't even read my comment carefully enough to understand it, I'd probably have reconsidered wasting even more time. With all due respect, as far as your Talk page (or any of your activities on Wikipedia), I am not concerned. I tend to take a greater interest in my own activities and conduct; I find that my time and energy are better utilized that way. WikiEditorial101 ( talk)
And so now I'm on trial in your court, guilty until proven innocent as to my intent? And basing your unfounded judgement on what you think I should or shouldn't know about Wikipedia after 2,500 edits?? Really??? Again, I don't know who you think you are or why you think that I should answer to you personally for anything or explain myself to you, but most of my edits have been to Lydia Canaan's page. I unfortunately have not had the time to learn the many workings, facets, and rules associated with Wikipedia. Yes, I really was so completely ignorant regarding who can rate an article and how it can be done that I thought that I could rate it, and give it the highest rating possible. As I'm the only major contributor to the article in question since 2009, having done numerous major rewrites and revisions and have been the only one working on the article and thus there has been no discussion at all since I turned an error-ridden, subjective stub into what I think is a decent article, I had only even looked at the Talk page probably twice in two years. So I'm guilty of being ignorant, and probably guilty of all sorts of things from the perspective of your particular branch of Wikipedian philosophy, but I am not guilty of knowingly breaking any code of conduct. And as for your accusation that I was trying to hide my mistakes, might I remind you that all of the other discussions removed (besides your comment) were from years before I edited the article and thus had nothing to do with me or my edits or my errors? And that I removed them long before you came along and corrected my mistake? Further proof that your charge against me is false is that when you made me aware that nominating the article for a GA rating was the next step, I immediately took that step. Had I known otherwise, I'd have already done so. And therefore I actually am grateful and thankful that you:
I just wish that you had done these helpful things while assuming good faith rather than attacking the integrity of my character based on some editing blunder.
Also, I wasn't referring to your User page in particular — most Wikipedians are into that; that was perhaps a less relevant element of my rant meant to defend/explain my compulsion for deleting things, citing my roguish desire to have a Zenlike User page as an example. As far as User pages go, yours is actually rather cool, and I found that I agree with your politics 100%. I've lived in both Israel and Palestine, and have seen first hand the brutal oppression and outright attempt at genocide of the Palestinian people, who I found to be the most loving, peaceful, and hospitable peoples I've ever encountered. Thank you for the loving work you pour into their cause. And I'm sorry that I said that your compliment was insincere. WikiEditorial101 ( talk) 21:41, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
You are most welcome, and advice noted. Thank you for the tea. It will remain :) WikiEditorial101 ( talk) 20:08, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

@ NSH002: Just letting you know, I've changed back the referencing style to define references where they are invoked. The page is now up for WP:GA nomination, and perhaps somebody will point it out there, but it's prohibitive to section-editing to define all the references at the end. It forces editors to either load the whole page where they would only normally need to edit a section (which can lag for users on slower connections or even if the page becomes longer), or makes them edit two sections, which can be time-consuming depending on what it is. It might look neater to some, but it gets very complicated if the page gets longer and more detailed. I'll raise it at the GA nomination too, because this isn't a very common referencing format on music articles on Wikipedia anymore due to the nature of charts and their constant updating, and thus it would require multiple section edits when it need not.

To think that an incapacity to do harm, and a profound empathy with the suffering that must in part motivate people who do evil is a sign of 'derangement' is to be deranged.

no! not how do you do: we know each other. Um, how do you use the sfn template when you have an article co-authored by many (I am reading one in Nature with upwards of 20 signatories) I'm sure one can whittle this down to Joe Blow &Co in a template. I can accept an upper limit of 8, but beyond that seems ridiculous. I strain the bean at times to muck up a technical problem you can't answer and entertain the prospect of salivating with a dickhead's sense of triumph at thinking one's stumped a boffin - but I don't think this will do that?

| ref = harv
is all you need (as usual). Or you can have anything you like with | ref = {{harvid|...}}
, as long as the "..." corresponds with the {{
sfn|...}}
. But much easier to stick to the default. As for the authors in the bibliography, just enter them like you would normally - the only problem is it could get a bit tedious entering them all. An alternative is to use
Vancouver style, which reduces the clutter in the edit window, but that is not so much of a problem when they're all neatly arranged by my nice wee girl in their own biblio listing. --

Thanks for the ping, I appreciate getting feedback. And always pleased if I may have been of service. Or can be; let me know if there are any discussions where I might help clarify matters.
I would caution that "citations as a subset of notes" is a little tricky. As a kind of content, yes, but they intermingle; I would not break them out separately. My preference is for separate (but equal) "Notes" and "Sources" sections.

So, without despoiling the leisure of these torrid weeks, having I trust rested over Sunday, can I prevail upon your wit and mercy to intervene with corrective digital surgery or sorcery and retitle that to Ernest Ailred Worms. (The name reminds me of the Japanese for athlete's foot, 水虫, mizumushi(water insect), but he's a wonderful analyst and deserves better than my patchy stuff. Nishidani ( talk) 13:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
This is how he's classified. I'm dead sure, because I've read several of his articles via jstor (haven't yet the time to add what I've learnt) and in all of them he signs himself 'Ernest Ailred Worms.' I too thought Ailred was a misprint for Alfred, but his articles are thus signed (see some in Baada biblio. e.g. here. catholic priests might not be good guides on things like the correct pronunciation of Ouagadougou - I'll forego the anecdote- but they were rigorous with orthography.

Any way you could do that article title switchover (if you consider it justified) at Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2015? I'm thinking that concerns of length should be addressed, and that we should have it as part one of 2 articles for this year, i.e. Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2015, January-June? Once I get to the end of June, if this is okay, I'd open up the second half of the year's coverage with, July-December, etc. No obligations involved in this of course.

@ NSH002: I've noticed you're replacing the former monoaminergics and catecholaminergics templates with {{ serotonergics}} and {{ adrenergics}}, presumably per the tfd; unfortunately, you're placing the incorrect template on many drug/pharmaceutical pages by doing this substitution.

Hi -- thanks for looking over my page -- actually, the page about me. I hadn't known about it for some time, and just recently found your question about links by which to check Morningside and Go. Morningside was the long-lived morning show hosted by Peter Gzowski onCBC radio in the 70's-90's; in fact Peter had me on two times in each of those decades, plus repeats. Go was the Ottawa pre-cursor of Brent Bambury's current national CBC radio show Day Six. Peter is sadly dead, but Brent might easily remember me. Another CBC radio show with my work was As It Happens, also a show called Wordbeat hosted by dub poet Lillian Allen (I notice you have poetry on your page, so thought you might recognize her name?). I don't know if these are archived or referenced on-line... -- all best, Sue SusanMcMaster ( talk) 19:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

I am officially asking you to stay away from me. If you have a problem with me, take it up with an administrator. Otherwise, I will file a complaint for harassment. WikiEditorial101 ( talk) 02:52, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps it is you who should cultivate the skill of good reading comprehension by rereading both your comments and mine. I'll assume good faith, as surely you would never purposely assert something incorrect. First of all, I referenced both the Talk page of the article in question and my User Talk page. If you'll reread above you'll see that I purposely made this distinction very clear to avoid any confusion. I only mentioned my own Talk page to illustrate my general approach, as to facilitate your understanding, as I assumed that you had been presumptuous rather than outright insidious, and to also indicate another source of slander. So secondly, you're asking me to believe that you were merely anticipating that others would violate Policy by not assuming good faith rather than you yourself not assuming good faith? What a convoluted rhetorical fallacy. It would appear that, ironically, you initially projected on to me your own reluctance to admit error, and thus the spin. Look, I don't have the same desire as you to be "right"; I have simply defended myself against false accusations and what I perceive as a biligerant attack by a seemingly authoritarian personality. The reason it took me so long to respond to you is that I consider it an utter waste of time, and did not want to dignify your slander with any response at all, though I did decide to reply, as bullying in general makes me uneasy, and I feel that it may beneficial to others who encounter you that I not lend my strength to any future mishandling of any other new editors, as bullies tend to be emboldened when no one stands up to them. But had I known that you wouldn't even read my comment carefully enough to understand it, I'd probably have reconsidered wasting even more time. With all due respect, as far as your Talk page (or any of your activities on Wikipedia), I am not concerned. I tend to take a greater interest in my own activities and conduct; I find that my time and energy are better utilized that way. WikiEditorial101 ( talk)
And so now I'm on trial in your court, guilty until proven innocent as to my intent? And basing your unfounded judgement on what you think I should or shouldn't know about Wikipedia after 2,500 edits?? Really??? Again, I don't know who you think you are or why you think that I should answer to you personally for anything or explain myself to you, but most of my edits have been to Lydia Canaan's page. I unfortunately have not had the time to learn the many workings, facets, and rules associated with Wikipedia. Yes, I really was so completely ignorant regarding who can rate an article and how it can be done that I thought that I could rate it, and give it the highest rating possible. As I'm the only major contributor to the article in question since 2009, having done numerous major rewrites and revisions and have been the only one working on the article and thus there has been no discussion at all since I turned an error-ridden, subjective stub into what I think is a decent article, I had only even looked at the Talk page probably twice in two years. So I'm guilty of being ignorant, and probably guilty of all sorts of things from the perspective of your particular branch of Wikipedian philosophy, but I am not guilty of knowingly breaking any code of conduct. And as for your accusation that I was trying to hide my mistakes, might I remind you that all of the other discussions removed (besides your comment) were from years before I edited the article and thus had nothing to do with me or my edits or my errors? And that I removed them long before you came along and corrected my mistake? Further proof that your charge against me is false is that when you made me aware that nominating the article for a GA rating was the next step, I immediately took that step. Had I known otherwise, I'd have already done so. And therefore I actually am grateful and thankful that you:
I just wish that you had done these helpful things while assuming good faith rather than attacking the integrity of my character based on some editing blunder.
Also, I wasn't referring to your User page in particular — most Wikipedians are into that; that was perhaps a less relevant element of my rant meant to defend/explain my compulsion for deleting things, citing my roguish desire to have a Zenlike User page as an example. As far as User pages go, yours is actually rather cool, and I found that I agree with your politics 100%. I've lived in both Israel and Palestine, and have seen first hand the brutal oppression and outright attempt at genocide of the Palestinian people, who I found to be the most loving, peaceful, and hospitable peoples I've ever encountered. Thank you for the loving work you pour into their cause. And I'm sorry that I said that your compliment was insincere. WikiEditorial101 ( talk) 21:41, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

@ NSH002: Just letting you know, I've changed back the referencing style to define references where they are invoked. The page is now up for WP:GA nomination, and perhaps somebody will point it out there, but it's prohibitive to section-editing to define all the references at the end. It forces editors to either load the whole page where they would only normally need to edit a section (which can lag for users on slower connections or even if the page becomes longer), or makes them edit two sections, which can be time-consuming depending on what it is. It might look neater to some, but it gets very complicated if the page gets longer and more detailed. I'll raise it at the GA nomination too, because this isn't a very common referencing format on music articles on Wikipedia anymore due to the nature of charts and their constant updating, and thus it would require multiple section edits when it need not.

.Thanks for the revert. Sometimes I think such comments by sociopaths are worth preserving, if only to evidence the fact that a lot of people who think they are normal are in fact sick. To think that an incapacity to do harm, and a profound empathy with the suffering that must in part motivate people who do evil is a sign of 'derangement' is to be deranged. But it is fairly commonplace. All the best for the upcoming year, N. Nishidani ( talk) 10:08, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Are you sure this is how it should be done? The official government web sites and the Dja Dja Wurrung's own organisation's pages all use Dja Dja Wurrung as does the National Native Title Tribunal . Ian D Clark's Aboriginal languages and clans : an historical atlas of western and central Victoria, 1800–1900, Published: Melbourne, Vic. : Dept. of Geography and Environmental Science, Monash University, c1990. ISBN 0-909685-41-X, identifies numerous spellings of the word but settles on the AIATSIS use of Dja Dja Wurrung. Garyvines ( talk) 11:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
no! not how do you do: we know each other. Um, how do you use the sfn template when you have an article co-authored by many (I am reading one in Nature with upwards of 20 signatories) I'm sure one can whittle this down to Joe Blow &Co in a template. I can accept an upper limit of 8, but beyond that seems ridiculous. I strain the bean at times to muck up a technical problem you can't answer and entertain the prospect of salivating with a dickhead's sense of triumph at thinking one's stumped a boffin - but I don't think this will do that?

| ref = harv
is all you need (as usual). Or you can have anything you like with | ref = {{harvid|...}}
, as long as the "..." corresponds with the {{
sfn|...}}
. But much easier to stick to the default. As for the authors in the bibliography, just enter them like you would normally - the only problem is it could get a bit tedious entering them all. An alternative is to use
Vancouver style, which reduces the clutter in the edit window, but that is not so much of a problem when they're all neatly arranged by my nice wee girl in their own biblio listing. --

Thanks for the ping, I appreciate getting feedback. And always pleased if I may have been of service. Or can be; let me know if there are any discussions where I might help clarify matters.
I would caution that "citations as a subset of notes" is a little tricky. As a kind of content, yes, but they intermingle; I would not break them out separately. My preference is for separate (but equal) "Notes" and "Sources" sections.
Some interesting comments you have. I must take some time to study them. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) ( talk) 19:26, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Please read what I write. I specifically requested that you not reply until I had posted the update. The question about the distinction between ETVP and vertical is already answered in the thread above. Please read it. Most of the points you have just made here I have already noted from other discussions in which you've particiipated. My time is limited, and I don't want it used up in premature discussion. Now, please, no further replies until the update is posted. -- NSH001 ( talk) 07:44, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I'll have to call the Lord's name in vain. I've made a comprehensive fuckup and even if I whistle or cooee that little Sheila you've fathered to bot and better the usual trash I leave in my compositional wake, this one's a job that requires the creative majesty of her pater. In sum, using a stupid Aussie site specializing in German missionaries, I created a stub entitled Ernst Alfred Worms. Now I've downloaded his articles, I see he signs himself Ernest Ailred Worms. So, without despoiling the leisure of these torrid weeks, having I trust rested over Sunday, can I prevail upon your wit and mercy to intervene with corrective digital surgery or sorcery and retitle that to Ernest Ailred Worms. (The name reminds me of the Japanese for athlete's foot, 水虫, mizumushi(water insect), but he's a wonderful analyst and deserves better than my patchy stuff. Nishidani ( talk) 13:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
This is how he's classified. I'm dead sure, because I've read several of his articles via jstor (haven't yet the time to add what I've learnt) and in all of them he signs himself 'Ernest Ailred Worms.' I too thought Ailred was a misprint for Alfred, but his articles are thus signed (see some in Baada biblio. e.g. here. catholic priests might not be good guides on things like the correct pronunciation of Ouagadougou - I'll forego the anecdote- but they were rigorous with orthography.

I've had a hard day trying to wrench 10 consecutive minutes of reading from innumerable interruptions and chores, so I might have missed the point re Tindale cit conflicts at Ngarigo. I can't see the problem. Everything I cite from his 1974 book is on p.198? Nishidani ( talk) 17:21, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
