Hi Rodney, I'm interested in this word "digitally". It seems to be a standard -ly adverb in this disputed case, but I'm very happy to be shown otherwise. I see the same pattern between a new watch (adj/noun) and a newly bought watch (adv/adj/noun) on the one hand, and a digital watch (adj/noun) and a digitally configured watch (adv/adj/noun) on the other. Where am I going wrong? Regards, Ericoides ( talk) 06:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Rodney! I see you've been doing a bit of work on Mark Selby over the last couple days. I've marked some items as citation needed. I've also moved some refs from the lede. Hopefully that's of some use towards pushing it to GA in the future one day. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 20:38, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Rodney,
I never did reply to you from [1]. Thanks! I appreciate it. If you ever think of an RfA, it's quite the stressful week! I now have all the tools - it's quite the clutter. I don't think my ping of BennyOnTheLoose worked at the 2002 World Snooker Championship article worked, but he'd definately be the right guy to question about offline sources for snooker articles.
I do hope you are getting through this time ok! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 11:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, in 2020 Masters (snooker) it says "NowTV simulcasted the event in Hong Kong with additional commentary." Should it be "simulcast" rather than "simulcasted"? Also, do you think it's worth linking to simulcast? I'm unsure on both points. Thanks! BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 10:42, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks very much for helping out with pending changes :)
I noticed your revert of this revision of Dubai Creek Tower was done without an edit summary explaining the reversion. Whilst I was also about to revert it, I think it would have been helpful here to leave an edit summary. The revision in question wasn't undoubtedly vandalism - it might have been, but it also might have been in good faith, and WP:AGF of course applies. There was no reliable indication that the added website was the official site, and the website was empty, but that doesn't mean that the edit was necessarily vandalism.
Just wanted to leave that as a note for future reverts - hope it's useful feedback!

No it is a seperate event.

Who are you to tell people what to do or what names to call events?on my Talk page which I think was totally out of order. If you're going to argue about it here then you can leave me out. The problem with operating on here as unregistered IPs is we cannot tell who you are and cannot address you properly. And IP hopping makes it even harder to identify who's who. Have you considered registering on Wikipedia? It's very easy to do and people will respect your opinion a whole lot more. 92.251.237.108 / 31.200.160.204 / 80.233.33.220 above — we cannot be certain if that's two or three different people, or maybe even just one.

@ Lee Vilenski: Hi there, the 2020 Championship League article was created by User:Jamiecameron00 on 23 May. It currently has no Talk page because it's still waiting to be assessed. Do you know how long that will take? There's a bit of an argument going on via edit summaries at the moment re. round-robin capitalisation and I wanted to put something on the Talk page but found there was none! I'm also concerned that an anonymous unregistered IP (oh how I love them) has added an unsourced statement about how the group placements are determined in the event of a tie and I wanted to bring that up on the Talk page. You wouldn't happen to know of any good sourcing for round-robin snooker tournaments would you? I've never really come across them before. Cheers, Rodney Baggins ( talk) 07:32, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Barry Hearn announced on his twitter the highest break made in the group would determine the positions 89.204.185.61 ( talk) 13:53, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
I hadn't yet finished revisions on the Higgs boson article, and the last section had two notational errors: using the same symbol (µ) in one formula for two different things (a Higgsian mass parameter and a co-ordinate index); and a summed index-pair (‘a’) both raised (one should be up, the other down, either way is good). So I felt I had to fix those. Most of the rest of the changes are trivial typesetting conventions, e.g. when the a letter (like ‘W’ in the article) names the particle, or serves as a name / label subscript (like mW), it's supposed to be in Roman type, but when that same letter represents the particle's wave function it's italics.
Anyway, I'm finished now, so you may want to go back and re-revert the changes I made after un-reverting your first revert.
And although I don't want to make a bother for you, I try to deliberately make lots of small changes while I'm reading through an article. I've run into disasters where an entire day's work of changes, all done to be updated in one go, got wiped out because someone else submitted a change while I was off checking citations. (When you ask for a preview, it doesn't report that you're now working on an old copy. That only comes with an update.) And for the most part, I'm planning on not coming back to an article: I'm only passing through, to check on something in some science news website, and noticed something while reading through the article. Rather than gritting my teeth and moaning, it's simpler to just tweak the math notation (sometimes nothing more than changing fonts with 'mvar') while I'm reading. (My graduate advisor was the editor of a planetary sciences journal, Icarus, and burned proper notation into me while I was preparing my thesis. Now it's almost automatic.)
So that's my side of it; I'll think some more about how to avoid overworking editors, such as yourself. In the meantime, if it seems good to you, revert the changes that you don't want to review. 107.77.165.34 ( talk) 10:16, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rodney,
Thanks for looking over my edit, however I am not sure I fully understand your decision toward it.
I had a bit of a random browse around other wikipedia pages and there seemed to be no consistency in "type". Many organisations with identified leaning on a political spectrum have their leaning mentioned under type. Perhaps there is a wiki guideline I am unaware of that outlines how type should be written out. Regardless I don't think the classification of the organisation of 'hate group' falls outside your parameters. A hate groups doesn't imply specific affiliations, it is merely a classification in of the groups that promote hate.
Thank you for the source rescue. However upon reviewing that specific source it seems to me to be questionable. I did some further research into whether or not the statement substantiated and have come up with nothing. I cannot find it listed on any official database as a registered NGO. I believe more substantial evidence is needed to define the group as such. I will keep looking for better evidence but until then I feel it is dishonest and potentially misleading to describe it as so.
I will thus remove the identification of it as an NGO, until a more reliable source can be found, and I will reinstate my edit identifying it as hate group. It has been identified as such by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Centre. Both of these organisations are internationally recognised and are dedicated to the identification of this type of group. For now I will leave out the identification of the group as 'far-right extremist organisation', until you can return to me with information that falls outside what is meant by "type".
Thanks for your help editing,

Hi Rodney!
Long time, no comment. How are you? I hope the wonderful world is treating you well! I saw you've done some copy-edits to snooker and I wondered if you had any thoughts about a potential FAC push for it? I think it needs some general cleanup, but as you know copyediting is not my strongest suit!
I was also looking at taking Mark Selby to GA soon - I know you were working on it recently - do you have any ideas on improvements?
I do have two FACs outstanding, which if you do get any time, I'd always appreciate your comments.
I hope you are well Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 08:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rodney,
I just wanted to pop by and say well done for making it to 15,000 edits. It's quite the achievement. I'm taking a little time off from content creation (the wikicup has taken a bit out of me), but I'll be back ready to improve more articles soon. I thought we could work together on promoting all of the WSC winners, starting with those that won it more than once. To that end, Mark Williams, John Higgins and Stephen Henry seem like the most obvious targets. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 04:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rodney, I would like to point out that in official United Nations documents, the simple form of the Republic of the Niger is the Niger, not Niger.
Source: http://www.onu-missionniger.org/mission/
From what I have read, most people have been using the word Niger incorrectly. The correct way to use this word is as follows:
Niger: the Niger River Basin (a geographic feature in West Africa)
The Niger: the Republic of the Niger (a West African country)
The Niger River: the principal river of West Africa
Informally, the region of West Africa can be referred to as Niger (most of the West African countries have territories on the Niger River Basin).
A similar example is the word Sudan:
Sudan: the region of Sudan (an inland region in West Africa, south of the Sahara)
The Sudan: the Republic of the Sudan (a Northeast African country)
The Sudans: the geographic region covering the area of modern-day countries of South Sudan and the Sudan. 120.16.92.71 ( talk) 02:55, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Moscow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moscow Airport.

I'm also concerned that an anonymous unregistered IP (oh how I love them) has added an unsourced statement about how the group placements are determined in the event of a tie and I wanted to bring that up on the Talk page. You wouldn't happen to know of any good sourcing for round-robin snooker tournaments would you? I've never really come across them before. Cheers, Rodney Baggins ( talk) 07:32, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

I hadn't yet finished revisions on the Higgs boson article, and the last section had two notational errors: using the same symbol (µ) in one formula for two different things (a Higgsian mass parameter and a co-ordinate index); and a summed index-pair (‘a’) both raised (one should be up, the other down, either way is good). So I felt I had to fix those. Most of the rest of the changes are trivial typesetting conventions, e.g. when the a letter (like ‘W’ in the article) names the particle, or serves as a name / label subscript (like mW), it's supposed to be in Roman type, but when that same letter represents the particle's wave function it's italics.
Anyway, I'm finished now, so you may want to go back and re-revert the changes I made after un-reverting your first revert.
And although I don't want to make a bother for you, I try to deliberately make lots of small changes while I'm reading through an article. I've run into disasters where an entire day's work of changes, all done to be updated in one go, got wiped out because someone else submitted a change while I was off checking citations. (When you ask for a preview, it doesn't report that you're now working on an old copy. That only comes with an update.) And for the most part, I'm planning on not coming back to an article: I'm only passing through, to check on something in some science news website, and noticed something while reading through the article. Rather than gritting my teeth and moaning, it's simpler to just tweak the math notation (sometimes nothing more than changing fonts with 'mvar') while I'm reading. (My graduate advisor was the editor of a planetary sciences journal, Icarus, and burned proper notation into me while I was preparing my thesis. Now it's almost automatic.)
So that's my side of it; I'll think some more about how to avoid overworking editors, such as yourself. In the meantime, if it seems good to you, revert the changes that you don't want to review. 107.77.165.34 ( talk) 10:16, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Rodney, I hope you are well! There is an FAC open at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1985 World Snooker Championship/archive2 that you may be interested in. Have a great weekend. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 15:17, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rodney,
Thanks for looking over my edit, however I am not sure I fully understand your decision toward it.
I had a bit of a random browse around other wikipedia pages and there seemed to be no consistency in "type". Many organisations with identified leaning on a political spectrum have their leaning mentioned under type. Perhaps there is a wiki guideline I am unaware of that outlines how type should be written out. Regardless I don't think the classification of the organisation of 'hate group' falls outside your parameters. A hate groups doesn't imply specific affiliations, it is merely a classification in of the groups that promote hate.
Thank you for the source rescue. However upon reviewing that specific source it seems to me to be questionable. I did some further research into whether or not the statement substantiated and have come up with nothing. I cannot find it listed on any official database as a registered NGO. I believe more substantial evidence is needed to define the group as such. I will keep looking for better evidence but until then I feel it is dishonest and potentially misleading to describe it as so.
I will thus remove the identification of it as an NGO, until a more reliable source can be found, and I will reinstate my edit identifying it as hate group. It has been identified as such by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Centre. Both of these organisations are internationally recognised and are dedicated to the identification of this type of group. For now I will leave out the identification of the group as 'far-right extremist organisation', until you can return to me with information that falls outside what is meant by "type".
Thanks for your help editing,

Hi Rodney!
Long time, no comment. How are you? I hope the wonderful world is treating you well! I saw you've done some copy-edits to snooker and I wondered if you had any thoughts about a potential FAC push for it? I think it needs some general cleanup, but as you know copyediting is not my strongest suit!
I was also looking at taking Mark Selby to GA soon - I know you were working on it recently - do you have any ideas on improvements?
I do have two FACs outstanding, which if you do get any time, I'd always appreciate your comments.
I hope you are well Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 08:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
proofreading with love
Thank you for enhancing the quality of articles such as 2019 World Snooker Championship (today's featured article), National Ice Centre, Royal Blood (band) and the Timeline of Welsh history baby, for helping the "living, breathing, self-checking encyclopedia", - cats'-names user, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi Rodney, do you have any objections to me doing some edits and then putting up Selby for GAN? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 17:30, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Rodney,
I just wanted to pop by and say well done for making it to 15,000 edits. It's quite the achievement. I'm taking a little time off from content creation (the wikicup has taken a bit out of me), but I'll be back ready to improve more articles soon. I thought we could work together on promoting all of the WSC winners, starting with those that won it more than once. To that end, Mark Williams, John Higgins and Stephen Henry seem like the most obvious targets. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 04:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rodney, I would like to point out that in official United Nations documents, the simple form of the Republic of the Niger is the Niger, not Niger.
Source: http://www.onu-missionniger.org/mission/
From what I have read, most people have been using the word Niger incorrectly. The correct way to use this word is as follows:
Niger: the Niger River Basin (a geographic feature in West Africa)
The Niger: the Republic of the Niger (a West African country)
The Niger River: the principal river of West Africa
Informally, the region of West Africa can be referred to as Niger (most of the West African countries have territories on the Niger River Basin).
A similar example is the word Sudan:
Sudan: the region of Sudan (an inland region in West Africa, south of the Sahara)
The Sudan: the Republic of the Sudan (a Northeast African country)
The Sudans: the geographic region covering the area of modern-day countries of South Sudan and the Sudan. 120.16.92.71 ( talk) 02:55, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Moscow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moscow Airport. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, it seems you accepted an at the page above. Just so you know, I accepted an edit that reverted the edit that you accepted, since the IP editor pointed out that the source actually didn't call the character a villan. Thanks, P,TO 19104 ( talk) ( contribs) 00:20, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
