... for improving article quality in July! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:29, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi S. Rich,
The edits you recently made to Hamlet are sheer nonsense. Your AutoEd script changed some page ranges from abbreviated to full, and some from full to abbreviated, and some from correctly abbreviated to incorrectly abbreviated. In addition, whether to use abbreviated or full page ranges is subject to WP:CITEVAR and should not be changed without prior discussion (and, yes, the article does use a consistent style, even if a few later additions may have deviated and not been cleaned up yet). I've seen you make similar mistakes on other articles on my watchlist, and this is stuff that you should have caught when checking the changes (you do check the edits before saving right?). I would in general strongly recommend you check such changes better before saving; and I do not recommend you try to do this kind of thing with any regex-based method (it's just not a suitable tool for the job). -- Xover ( talk) 09:07, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
did not change any ISBNs, dates, page ranges, hyphenssince you definitely changed dates and hyphens, and another editor changed the ISBNs, so really only the page ranges were untouched. Not that it matters so long as the changes made are actually correct.And the same goes for the number of edits: use as few or as many edits as you like, so long as all the edits are correct. It is generally better to separate into logical groups of related changes: even if you can effectively check all the changes in one giant edit, other editors watching the article may not be able to do so comfortably (especially when you throw in a ton of pointless whitespace changes with the substantive changes). And if anyone wants an overview of all the changes it is easy to generate a multi-revision diff.Don't get me wrong here: I absolutely do appreciate everyone that helps out with maintenance on the articles in my watchlist, and have no intrinsic objection to script-assisted edits. But in this specific case, some of the changes your AutoEd scripts (custom or factory default, btw?) produced were outright incorrect (and some were objectionable for other reasons), and you failed to catch those problems before saving. That's all I'm objecting to.Incidentally, you may be interested to know I have proposed (per CITEVAR) to change the article's citation style to use full page ranges instead of abbreviated; partly because you're not the first to try to process the abbreviated ranges with a regex and discovering after the fact that regex just isn't up to the task. -- Xover ( talk) 06:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Just want to head off this issue with WP:SETINDEX. Set indices are list pages and battle honours in Commonwealth nations are inherited by units of the same name and each ship is considered a unit, so the only good place to put it is on the list page of the ship names. It is relevant to the ship name, as the battle honours are associated to the name, as the more recent Campbeltown will carry the battle honours of previous ships of the name.

Your edits certainly did violate MOS:NUMBERS when you reduced page number ranges like 110–112 to 110–12. The problem with doing such comprehensive edits is that they all get tossed out if you get one part incorrect. Fix those and we'll call it even.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 22:24, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
@ Sturmvogel 66: No, please look at WP:CITESTYLE. We stick with one MOS per article. My edits achieve a consistent style. E.g., if some cites are 123–25 and others are 123–125 I try to stick with whatever style is predominate. – S. Rich ( talk) 22:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Srich32977. I'm not sure what general fixes you were attempting here, but some of those were decidedly incorrect (Toronto public library and Buffalolib should definitely be cite web, and those isbns are wrong) so I've reverted you. Please check to see that this hasn't happened in other places; I only saw this because I wrote the substance of this article. Vanamonde ( Talk) 23:44, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
A library web site was cited as if the library had anything to do with the book aside from owning a copy of it": that's just a fallacy, I'm afraid. - SchroCat ( talk) 19:21, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
In his book The Double Agents, the writer W. E. B. Griffin depicts Operation Mincemeat as an American operation run by the Office of Strategic Services. Fictional characters are blended with Ian Fleming and the actors David Niven and Peter Ustinov.The web page listed at the URL in the original citation does not support the claims in that sentence; the web page gives only bibliographical information. The book itself supports the claims in the sentence, so it should be cited, or a summary or review of the book should be cited. There is no summary or review of the book at the web page that was originally cited, so it was not following WP:V, one of our core policies. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 19:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
I am at a loss to understand User:Vanamonde93's complaint. The citation bot added ISBNs to our WP citations. The first complaint involves a link to the Erie & Buffalo library, which provides a listing for one of their books. The listing itself contains a correct ISBN to the book. The citation bot added the correct ISBN to the WP cite and designated the citation as a book (which it is). What's wrong?? The second complaint involves another link to the Buffalo library, which also provides a listing for a different book. Again, the library card listing itself contains the correct ISBN and the citation bot added the correct ISBN to our WP citation. In both cases the bot was helpful to the reader because it provided a direct link to the ISBN rather than via the library card listing which showed the ISBN as a bit of additional info. IOW, no mistakes were made by me or the bot. – S. Rich ( talk) 21:06, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
In this edit that you made with Citation bot, it looks like you attempted to replace a dash with an en dash, but instead added the word "is" and an en dash after the existing dash. (Look at the very last change in the list of changes.)
Do you think you fat-fingered it, or do you think the tool messed up? I'm not looking to complain about your edit at all -- just trying to figure out if there's a bug in the tool that we should report. Thanks! Stephen Hui ( talk) 06:47, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
@ Stephen Hui: I agree it's a weird change. But unintentional. I don't think it was the bot. Thanks for the excellent catch AND your note to me. – S. Rich ( talk) 19:40, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, quite recently you performed a copy edit in Vilnius, however I recently rewritten the "Demographics" section of this article from a very poorly written, referenced one. Though, since English is not my native language - I might have made some grammar or structure mistakes, so it would be very appreciated if you could check this section as a native speaker of English. Vilnius is capital of one of the European Union countries, so I think this article is of high importance and must be of high quality. -- Pofka ( talk) 21:32, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Pofka: I did some fixes. Take a look see what you think. I can do more if you ask. (My family's Lutheran Church in California had a Lithuanian ex-pat as a member. He escaped shortly after WWII.) – S. Rich ( talk) 22:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Srich32977: Thanks, my biggest concern is grammar/style because sometimes I really mess up something due to the completely different languages. I rewritten the whole "Demographics" section recently (including "Historic ethnic makeup" subsection). Is everything alright in the "Historic ethnic makeup" subsection? California is one of the main Lithuanian ex-pat centers in the USA, along with New York and Chicago. Probably most of these Californian Lithuanians started their journeys in New York/Chicago as well, but later moved to California (likely due to a pleasant climate). Popular Lithuanian singer and active independence movement supporter Vytautas Kernagis even written a song about California, which was extremely popular in the 90s when we just regained independence, some of the lyrics are: "Tau burnoje ištirpsta žodis Kalifornia. Lyg būtum taip toli nuo Lietuvos. Juk Kalifornijoj merginos smagus ir linksmas vynas. O Kalifornijoj saulėtas dangus" (translation: The word California dissolves in your mouth. As if you were so far from Lithuania. After all, girls and wine in California are cheerful. And California has a sunny sky;recording from 1995: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDA-kY2isR8). :D -- Pofka ( talk) 11:55, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello Srich32977,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Srich32977, you've once again changed a citation template from cite web to cite book, even though the citation in question is to a website and not a book [4]. Can you undertake to be more careful with semi-automated scripts? Vanamonde ( Talk) 00:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
They do not render the same.
Note the italics for the title in Cite book. The HTML cite and span tags that accompany and wrap the citation data also indicate whether the source is a web source or a book source. External citation tools like Zotero use this metadata to determine what type of source is being cited. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 01:58, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Thank you for improving Nocturnes (Debussy) while the principal author is sadly blocked, and a late "Valentine" to good relations ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:52, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Srich32977, you've once again changed a citation template from cite web to cite book, even though the citation in question is to a website and not a book [4]. Can you undertake to be more careful with semi-automated scripts? Vanamonde ( Talk) 00:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
They do not render the same.
Note the italics for the title in Cite book. The HTML cite and span tags that accompany and wrap the citation data also indicate whether the source is a web source or a book source. External citation tools like Zotero use this metadata to determine what type of source is being cited. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 01:58, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
|title=
parameter is written that way is that is the title of the web page being cited. In general, we do not change the titles of sources that we are citing. –
