Hi Coreyemotela! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Can I ask you a favor? I think instead of going through a bunch of bird articles and only changing the case in the lede/taxobox, it would be more helpful to do one entire article before moving on to the next. In fact, I think only changing the lede is somewhat harmful, since you then leave a bunch of articles in a half-upper/half-lower state for some length of time, which is undesirable. Thanks!

The answer to your questions is obvious, it takes about ten times longer—My point here is that it would be better to do that 10x work before moving on to the next article. IOW, if you're going to spend, say, 1 hour, then it would be better to complete n articles rather than move 10xn articles and only touch their ledes/taxoboxes. I feel like this is pretty obvious, but I guess I don't need to say any more here about it. If nobody else is bothered enough to try to get you to stop I'll just move on.

How many more of these bird name decapitalization move requests are there likely to be? Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 17:56, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Coreyemotela. I declined one decapitalization move per this diff. The target, Thick-billed parrot, is already in use for the genus. Of course using capitalization for disambiguation is uncommon. See if you can propose a different move and consider opening a WP:RM. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 22:12, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Please stop moving portals! Please instead do them one at a time, getting each one fixed and working before doing the next. The instructions are at Help:Moving a page#Moving a portal. Also note that your "requested move" discussion was closed as "No consensus". -- John of Reading ( talk) 06:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Unsure why the changes? Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:21, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Please don't move portal boxes to the bottom, making them into wide bars. I don't see how that is better. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:24, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
Please stop incorrectly naming psychological tests, checklists, and scales. "Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised" is not known as "revised autism diagnostic interview" by its creators or among professionals in the field. The acronym is ADIR, not RADI; and there's a good reason for that: it establishes continuity with the previous edition of the test. Test publishers name tests the way they want them to be named (it's a simple matter of going to the publisher's website to confirm this), and it is entirely inappropriate for you to unilaterally decide to rename them in Wikipedia articles. And please stop changing appropriate capitalization; tests are published works and as such the names are considered proper nouns; see WP:NCCAPS for information about capitalization for proper nouns. Test titles are no different than book titles. The Three Musketeers is not known as "the three musketeers", and the article title has proper capitalization. Please correct the articles in which you have inappropriately renamed tests. Thank you. 75.177.156.78 ( talk) 14:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
