Sorry for trying to be helpful. Can you fill me in on why naming that particular musician is spam-like? I see zero other occurrences on the page.

/* Inclusions in film, television and events */
list only the name of the film, TV program, or event—and not the particular artist. The section has to do with inclusions of the song and not of the artists, the article being about the song. Listing artists would serve to clutter the section. My edit was not a personal attack or denigration of Downie. —

I just copied the diagram and caption from the greenhouse gas article, so you may want to update the caption there too. Efbrazil ( talk) 18:34, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
I understand you think the picture doesn't add encyclopedic content to the "Bowling" page - though I do - but to mark it as vandalism is a bit extreme. FYI, there is no picture of 1) the actual pins, 2) their setup or 3) pin to ball size ratio in a regular court; that's the picture's "addition to encyclopedic" content. You don't agree, that's fine, this is not a hill worth dying on, I'll not revert it. But be a bit more cautious in the future with the "vandalism" label. Some of us fight hard against vandalism.

Reporters at Phys.org note that meteorologists have been accused of falsifying weather reports and overusing data from weather stations in warmer locations to promote the concept of climate change. In Spain, meteorologists have reported being harassed and threatened on the Internet and by telephone and email. Alexandre Lopez-Borrull, a lecturer in Information and Communication Sciences at the Open University of Catalonia, notes a recent increase in climate change denial, particularly among supporters of the far right.
— Diannaa ( talk) 18:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
I appreciate that the content re right wing origins should be described as one person's perception; a point well made.
However, your text eviscerates the content and thwarts the intent of a reliable source in warning of misinformation. Specifically, you've ignored the reliable source's prominently placed "falsely accused..." language re three silly accusations against meteorologists in Spain, Australia and France—content that I succinctly included. Instead you place "Reporters at Phys.org" in context (reducing its credibility) and emphasize meteorologists are "accused of falsifying"—in a way that actually casts doubt in readers' minds on the meteorologists and not on the random public idiots whose claims were debunked toward the bottom of the article. Spanish meteorologists being harassed and threatened isn't the main point of my edit; misinformation is the point. My goal is not to summarize the entire phys.org article but to focus on its points exemplifying
Climate change denial's recent history which are recited in a small fraction of the phys.org article. —

Hi RCraig, while your expansion of Held v. Montana is appreciated, it had several close paraphrasing issues (now resolved in Template talk:Did you know nominations/Held v. Montana), so I just wanted to confirm that Diannaa's above points were taken to heart. There are some legal turns of phrase that are okay to quote or repeat sparingly in articles but the majority of the points mentioned in the DYK discussion did not meet that bar. Please take care to summarize sources in your own words, which helps us avoid time-intensive plagiarism cleanup and lets editors instead focus on other expansion efforts. czar 01:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
In the Greenhouse effect lead, you originally wrote "...cause some of the heat radiated from the planet's surface to be trapped in the lower atmosphere." I changed "in" to "by" and you have now changed the word back to "in."
Let's talk this out.
Why do you prefer the word "in"? I believe "in" to be wrong and misleading.
There is no sense in which heat or thermal energy is being retained inside the air by greenhouse gases, which is what the word "in" suggests.
Instead, heat is being prevented from leaving the surface (or the rate at which heat can leave the surface is being reduced).
As an analogy, suppose you have a tank of water that is being drained by a drain pipe. You then add a liner to the drain pipe that narrows the diameter of the pipe, reducing the rate at which water drains. (Greenhouse gases are like that drain pipe liner.)
You wouldn't say that water is being trapped "in" the pipe (there is actually less water in the pipe after the liner is added); you'd say that water is being trapped in the tank "by" the narrowed pipe.
Thoughts? Rhwentworth ( talk) 19:12, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
On 4 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Held v. Montana, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 16 Montana youths are plaintiffs in the lawsuit Held v. Montana, the first constitutional climate change lawsuit to go to trial in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Held v. Montana. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Held v. Montana), 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.

The way to move that discussion forward more seriously would be to add merge tags. I'm starting to think it might be necessary to have that discussion as a precursor to the short description one. WP:BROADCONCEPT would be the guidance argument for merging, but it's probably best for you or someone else who supports to launch it (I'd need to read through the articles more first). {{u| Sdkb}} talk 20:13, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there! Could I ask you a favour? I've been struggling quite a bit with long covid brain fog recently, and have needed to reread your comments multiple times.

Hi RCraig,
Thanks for your SVG spreadsheets: their great and I still cannot figure out how you've created something so complex exclusively with excel.
Is there a way to have values that are between years, e.g. every month in a year? When I try this in the line chart it doesn't seem to work because the values are DD/MM/YYYY instead of just years.
The dataset I'm using is

Congratulations, your edit was worthy of inclusion in a reliable source!
I saw this article recently posted on a user talk page. I recognized your username from our work on Climate Change related articles, and I thought you might find this interesting, if you haven't seen it already:
More specifically :
Just to be clear, I understand where you are coming from. To me it appears you were calling out a clear case of OR/Synth.
What I found that made this a little more interesting is that I recently encountered a user who's account had the appearances of a sockpuppet tied to the editor you responded to; upon questioning, they promptly "retired".
