Hello there! I noticed your recent edit to Gram staining where you capitalized "Gram" throughout the article. Actually, this is not as straightforward as it seems. In general when Gram is used as part of a compound adjective (gram-positive, gram-negative, etc.) it is left lowercase. There is a brief explanation of this at the Eponym page as well as some discussion about our specific case at Talk:Gram-negative bacteria and a brief note on the Gram-staining talk page. In general this is the format you'll see from the CDC (sorry you have to scroll down a bit on that one) and other mainstream organizations. I went through the Gram staining page and re-lowercased throughout (except for "Gram stain" which remains uppercase). If you disagree or would like to talk about it, feel free to ping me here or leave a message on my talk page (or post on the Gram staining talk page for a wider audience). Other than that, glad to see someone taking an interest in the Gram staining article! Happy editing!! Ajpolino ( talk) 18:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Don't forget to also add the Findagrave ID to Wikidata, I added your last one. People delete them in Wikipedia, but they are always there at Wikidata. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 04:28, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Some of the changes you made with this edit to the above article actually broke the sentence case in some of the references, by capitalising words that are not proper nouns.
eg:
Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas eliminated
you changed to Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas Eliminated
, but note that all the capitalised words in the sentence before you changed it were proper nouns.
I don't want to revert the whole edit, as some of the changes (moving from all capitals to title case) are valid. I would invite you to revisit this edit and change those which you moved from sentence case to title case back to sentence case. Cheers, Gricehead ( talk) 09:18, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to sentence case or title case. For example, replace the headline "WAR BEGINS TODAY" with "War begins today" or "War Begins Today".(my bold). In the example above, the original edit is equivalent to
War begins todayand your edit is equivalent to
War Beings Today. So you've changed an acceptable per-MOS sentence case to an acceptable per-MOS title case. There is no difference between languages. ( Sentence case states:
Only the first character of the sentence is capitalised, except for proper nouns and other words which are required by a more specific rule to be capitalised.) Not a massive deal, but I don't think we should really be changing one per-MOS acceptable title to another per-MOS acceptable title. Cheers, Gricehead ( talk) 12:47, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ira. Thanks for your edit to the MV Discovery article; however, I have reverted it. I see from your user page that you are American, and Coast Guard is indeed two words in American English, but it is a single word in British English. The reference in the article was to the United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which is the parent body of Her Majesty's Coastguard, so the original spelling was correct.

Hi Ira Leviton,
I won't revert your edits again and i did know the guidelines. But i think it's important to realise that the party name and list name are 2 different things. The Dutch election committee follows instructions from party's choice for partylist name. Styling it this way is the way they participated. Since this is a list of the party lists (and not party names) it's strange not to follow the official party list name.
Anyway. Not going not going to edit war you on this or anything. But i take pride in my accuracy.
With kind regards,

Hi Ira, Thanks for taking an interest in Nantucket's neutrality during the American Revolutionary War, an article that I have found to be problematic owing to its marginal notability and the appearance that it was a school history paper. Perhaps you could take a crack at the lead section. A good summary there could help indicate whether the article focuses on a notable topic. It appears to have some interesting material in the body that probably should find a home in any case. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:48, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Ira, thanks for your edit on Clash of Champions (2017). I noticed you removed the PPV abbreviation in the first sentence. Although it might not be used again in the article right now, it is often later added in the articles, and its actually in the first line of every Impact, WCW and WWE PPV. I understand your rationale for removing but I think it does serve a purpose. Any thoughts on that?
I also notice you recently edited the Israeli Wrestling League article I recently created. I created a bunch of other Israeli wrestling related articles, and a template for them: Template:Professional wrestling in Israel, Professional wrestling in Israel, Ultimate Wrestling Israel, IPWA Heavyweight Championship (Israel), and Tomer Shalom. Any help with a second set of eyes, and with expanding them, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Galatz Talk 18:41, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Ira, I noticed your edits and requests for clarification on Peter Corke. This page is about me so not quite sure the process given WP COI guidelines. You've expanded CSIRO to its full and formal name, but since the 1980s the organisation only refers to itself as CSIRO. It's not an acronym, there are no dots. Maybe expand it out the first time and give the short name in parentheses. You've added matrix laboratory as an expansion for MATLAB, and although that is where the name came from in the 1970s when it was a university project, the company MathWorks founded in 1984 never refer to this meaning for MATLAB. ICT stands for Information and Communications Technology, a fairly well known term in Australia and Europe, it recognises that for IT systems today the communications/networking is super important. But if you expand out CSIRO ICT Centre you no longer have the name of the organisation, it was known internally and externally as CSIRO ICT Centre or even CSIRO ICTC. It's tricky when the contraction becomes the normal way of referring to a thing. Finally, "take up a chair" is a British idiom for becoming a professor. Unlike the US, in the Australia and the UK not all academics are professors: academics rise through the ranks of lecturer, senior lecturer, reader (increasingly associate professor), professor.
Peter.corke ( talk) 21:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Peter.corke:
Hi
I will try to fix the article – either later today or tomorrow, using the information in your message. (As you can probably tell, I hate jargon abbreviations. But if they're explained properly and used properly, then they're OK.)
You taught me a Britishism! (I've wanted to take up a chair many times, but only to use it on somebody from behind.)
And you're right about conflicts of interest, but I'm sure that it can be fixed without you having to do anything.

The phrase and mayor of Jerusalem in 1920–1934. should be and mayor of Jerusalem from 1920-1934. This conforms to British and American use of prepositions. I've been doing this for a decade, Ira, but I don't know how to alter that background section, which is a newer feature. I noticed that you also like proof-reading, so I'm asking you for a how-to. It's possible that the original sentence was in 1920, then someone added -1934, but neglected to update the preposition. MichelleInSanMarcos ( talk) 20:43, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm confused. You removed the word "ironically" from the article Cutty-sark (witch), citing the manual of style, where we are warned against using that word as a peacock word. However, I reverted that, explaining that in this article the word is being used in it's correct sense: when we say that this line in the poem is ironic, we are making a scholarly statement about the literary device of irony which the poet used; we are NOT saying that we find it casually ironic that he did that.

I'm glad someone is working on that gnomish task. I just ask that you be more careful. There's no reason to remove words like "interestingly" from a quote as you did at Navy Working Uniform.

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.
Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hi, You added a "sic" template to a reference in the Winter Gardens Pavilion, Weston-super-Mare article as the typo is in the source but this means the reference (Ref 20) is now showing a CS1 error "URL–wikilink conflict". Any idea how to fix this?— Rod talk 16:07, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Rodw:
Hi, are you sure this edit is a good idea? If it's the "Lent" issue of some magazine, shouldn't we be keeping their -- the magazine's -- dating? Would we change a "Michaelmas" issue of an Oxford University society publication to read "Autumn" in the reference, even if Michaelmas is how it described itself?
There's also the complication that Lent occurs in the Spring in the northern hemisphere, but in the Fall in the southern hemisphere. If the magazine was an Australian one, or the article subject an Australian, would you change "Lent" to "Autumn" instead of to "Spring"? This can all get confusing quite quickly!

Hi, how do I do a clean up of ALL CAPS in one go, for example your recent edit to John Hick (politician)? There are a few more articles that need sorting out. Regards 80.229.34.113 ( talk) 18:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
I saw you fixed tense in the article on Little Lake (Peterborough). I am not comfortable with the changes:
Did Scott Plains grow to become the city of Peterborough before the first British settlers arrived?
Were the locks built before or after the route became the waterway?
Did the discussion occur before or after the river was canalized? Was it in fact canalized?
The forms "would grow", "would become", "would open" imply consequences that were going to happen some time in the future. They are followed by statements about more immediate events.

Workshop on teaching kids to read (MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1985) In an age of video games and television reruns, many parents and teachers are finding it increaSingly more difficult to teach and encourage children to read. On November 16, internationally renowned child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, Ph.D., will conduct a one-day workshop through UCSD Extension on problems in teaching children to read. Bettelheim, known for his work with autistic children, will discuss why and how children teach themselves to read, the books that stimulate or dull a child's mind, factors in the home environment that encourage or discourage love of reading, the emotional factors that cause a child to block a word, and how a child's misreading can be seen as intuition rather than as a mistake. Bettelheim, a professor of education and professor of psychology emeritus at the University of Chicago, is the author of a number of books, including his most recent (with Karen Zelan), On Learning to Read: The Child's Fascination With Meaning. The one-day workshop will be held from 8:30 am-5:00 pm. Saturday, November 16 at UCSD Extension. The fee is $95.

I'm curious about your edit summary on
New London Chamber Ensemble (Replaced the jargon abbreviation found with Wikipedia:Typo_Team/moss and reduced ALLCAPS. Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters.
) The acronym for New London Chamber Ensemble isn't "jargon", they use it themselves in their content, and the references writing about them use it as well. I also don't understand pointing to
MOS:CAPS when
MOS:CAPSACRS on that page says we do use all caps for acronyms. I had just edited the article to change the repeated use of the acronym in all lowercase (nlce). I have no problem with the changes to remove the acronym, but your objections don't make sense to me so I was wondering if you could explain your reasoning. Thanks!

May I ask how you found the details you have and if you are related? Zerodroprob ( talk) 02:31, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
I don't think you meant this message to go to me. I simply deleted a word that shouldn't be used. Please look back at the edit history of the page for the right editor.
Thanks, I did just that. Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerodroprob ( talk • contribs) 10:27, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ira! I'm contacting you regarding this edit.
First, you wrote in your comment that you "don't know how to contact somebody with a redlinked user name". This is very simple – just leave a message at the talk page. Redlinked user name means the user does not have a user page, but this doesn't say anything about his/her user talk page. For example, my user page doesn't exist, but my user talk page does. Moreover, even if a user's talk page doesn't exist, you can create it and post a message there, and the user will be notified (unless s/he has disabled notifications deliberately).
Second, regarding your deletions of abbreviations. As you mentioned in your edit comment, "Wikipedia is for general audiences, not just those familiar with the subject" – that's exactly the reason why I expanded every subject-specific abbreviation at its first appearance. However, there is no requirement not to use abbreviations / acronyms in Wikipedia articles; actually, an article on a subject should use the terminology that is used in sources dealing with the subject. Abbreviations are widely used in sources dealing with the field, and IMHO actually make the article more readable (given that they are expanded at the first use).
Best regards,
DmitTrix (

Hi, do you feel that pavability is a proper noun and should be capitalized? MPS1992 ( talk) 22:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
It looks like I messed up on this one, but it turns out it's for some good. It's not a proper noun. I had thought that it was detected by the spellchecker because it was an arcane word that it didn't recognize, but I capitalized it because it was part of a title. I should have capitalized all the words in the title, but I was just going too quickly for my own good. When I saw your message, I went back to the source at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1203.2854.pdf, just to be sure to make the edit correctly, and I noticed that it should be spelled "paveability". So now I'll make all the corrections and expand the section. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Thank you for your edit to this Scouting related article. You have however undid a lot of correct capitalisation. You might not be aware, but as per WikiProject Scouting/Style advice it is correct to capitalise Scout and other Scout related words.

@ DuncanHill:
Edits like this are almost never appropriate. A construction like that can mean a couple things, but usually something like there being two possibilities, one with the parenthesized part and one without (in that case, homology or cohomology). That a spellchecker doesn't like it is NOT a reason to change it. Plainly removing the parentheses usually changes the meaning. I'm asking that you stop making these changes; I saw something like 26 in your last 500 edits, something like 4-5 or so a day. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 23:39, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Ira Leviton. You might remember that we discussed formatting of quotes with regard to the article Antoine Hamilton. In the meantime I discovered that MOS:QUOTE gives detailed instructions and explicitly directs us to replace all-caps, just as you do and told me. I still wonder a bit whether this also applies to quotations (or extracts) in the footnotes, but there is no good reason to believe it doesn't. However, how did you come to "OrmondeE"?

Sorry, no. I'm aware that the skit " Racist Word Association Interview" is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article (which I wrote).
However, it is not relevant to the article on the Tar-Baby story that the words "tar baby" were spoken in "RWAI". There are a variety of different racial slurs that could have been used in place of "tar baby", and if any of them had been used in place of "tar baby", "RWAI" would have been no different.

Thanks for the clean up on Heterophragma sulfureum. I admit, I don't like allcaps and appreciate their removal, but I also admit that it is so frequent in refs that I skip over it in page creation. By the way the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is the name, not the name and location of the gardens. There are lots of Royal Botanic Gardens, and their place name is part of their formal name.

Thank you so much for creating the Disco Freddy page! I was a kid in Brighton Beach in the 1970s and vividly remember "Disco Freddy” and his act. Usually saw him at Brighton 2nd Street and the boardwalk. But one thing: I really never remember him being called "Larry the Unbelievable"; I do remember some of my friends calling him "Sensational" as a name. And FWIW, the photographer who took that pic of him jumping over his jacket ing front of the 42nd Street library branch — Tony Szczygielski — sadly passed away of COVID-19 complications back in May 2020. More info can be here. Thanks again for creating that article! -- Giacomo1968 ( talk) 05:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Ira, you corrected the punctuation in three {{cite book}} entries on a page I created—see diff—for which I thank you. As far as I remember, all three were created by using the cite book template, entering the ISBN, and accepting whatever it returned. Obviously, in future I shall keep an eye on the punctuation that it leaves lying around.
I am wondering, though, if this is a problem with the cite book template, or with the Wikidata content on which (I assume) it relies? Can it be fixed?

I don't know how often you look at your Moss subpages, but I have been plugging away at C, along with a few other editors. Today I had an "Aha!" moment that got me so excited that I can barely type without typos.
Your bot had flagged a chemical formula on the page Calculus (dental). When I went to the page, there were several other chemical formulas. The one you had flagged was done simply with letters and subscripts, and the others done with ... the "chem" template at Template:Chem! I had never noticed that one before. And it's a very easy template! I have taken the liberty of adding an instruction to the new in 2020 section of your Moss Quick Start page; feel free to edit that if needed.
Example: Ca9(Mg,Fe)(PO4)6(PO3OH) gets converted to Ca
9(Mg,Fe)(PO
4)
6(PO
3OH). They look identical.
But I'm not sure if what to do about chemistry formulas with words. For instance, should I change cis-11,12-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethano-2-anthroic to cis-11,12-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethano-2-anthroic? They look the same, but I'm wondering if there's a reason not to do this. Formulas with words aren't mentioned on the "chem" template page. (If you know anything about this, please tell me.)

Hi. You recently removed closing table tags from a few articles such as
Tenryū Saburō or
Tikkurilan Palloseura, in the process leaving unclosed tables. This causes a
lint error and can break formatting. In the future, please replace the tag with either the correct closing template (like {{
Sumo record box end}} for Tenryū Saburō) or closing table wikitext (|}
) – although only replacing </table>
is a
cosmetic edit and probably shouldn't be done on a large scale unless you make other changes in the same edit. Thank you. As an aside, in the case of Tikkurilan Palloseura specifically, the optimal thing to do would've been to remove the entire table, which was completely empty and extraneous. –

Hi, regarding your edit Special:Diff/1050042014, most if not all of these language parameters were added by me. You cited two articles but I don't think either one requires the use of language codes. The first one Category:CS1_maint:_unrecognized_language says "MediaWiki recognizes all of the ISO 639-1 two-character codes and some of the ISO 639-2 three-character codes, along with the full official names of the languages corresponding to those codes" (emphasis added). The second one Template:Citation_Style_documentation/language/doc says "This page lists the language codes and names that MediaWiki supports" (emphasis added). I usually use the name of a language rather than the code when making web citations. The reason is that all of the examples given for the template are using the full name (see Template:Cite web/doc#Foreign language and translated title and Template:Cite web/doc#No author, no publisher).
I also noticed that you changed the title of web articles to remove ALLCAPS. I know that we should do this when an article's entire name is in caps (e.g. "FUEL PRICES NOW HIGHEST EVER"), but where there is a mixture between caps and lower case in a title, I tend to keep the original, especially when citing a foreign language title where their local conventions may be different.

I didn't write this paragraph but I wrote a paragraph some weeks ago which was quite similar to this one.

Good day Ira. I have not heard from you for a while but then found a correction from you this morning on the page Baron Kingsale, which is on my watchlist. Glad to see you are active and improving Wikipedia. In this case it was a double article "the" in the form of a "the [[The". You might remember our discussion about all-caps words in footquotes. I resisted your changes and maintained the all-caps must be kept in footquotes. I now think I was wrong. User:AustralianRupert (now retired) convinced me during an A-Class review of the article Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty. Two MOS rules apply: MOS:ALLCAPS and MOS:CONFORM. The second rule insists that "a quotation is not a facsimile" and "text should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions" but "preserve bold and italics". Greetings.

Hi. You made a formatting edit on this page, following an edit by me. But a person with a declared COI keeps undoing my edits. He is possibly using other accounts as sockpuppets. He claims I added "some random news" when I merely: a) took two items already existing on the page and merged them into a section titled "Controversies", b) and added a third item. This third item is very newsworthy. It resulted in a conviction of a foreign agent. Others with links to the same agent (such as state Senator Dan Burton) have it mentioned on their page too).

Hi Ida, it’s lovely to meet you virtually! My name is Isabel and I’m a senior working on Wikipedia for my capstone project. In full transparency, I’m still learning the ropes and could use some guidance from Wiki experts. I noticed you made a few awesome changes to the article I’ve been working on, Food labeling and advertising law (Chile) and I was wondering if you might be able to give me any advice on improving my contributions? I look forward to learning from you. NUstudent1316 ( talk) 18:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

I greatly appreciated the revisions you made to minor errors in one of my source citations on the Chronophilia page. Unfortunately, the very accurate, sourced & essential corrections & revisions I made to factual errors on the page were rolled back ( by a different editor ) without legitimate reasons for the rollback beyond vague allegations of "not sourced" when ample sourcing was provided (thank you Legitimus for the edit data). I'm reaching out to you because you seem like a fair, unbiased, facts first type of editor, & I need help making the proper revisions to that page. I don't want to be unfairly accused of "vandalism" for making much needed revisions. My facts, with related source material ( all of which you know was formatted into citation ) follow:
The existing (unrevised) Chronophilia page has glaring & potentially dangerous inaccuracies and misinformation, making overbroad claims that are contradicted by the scientific facts and assertions. Ephebophilia is not just broad attraction to "late teens", nor is teleiophilia exculsive attraction to "20s & 30s", which the page currently and falsely claims. Ephbophilia & Teleiophilia, both clinically normative, are defined by attractions to Tanner Stages 4 & 5. This is an essential detail, as its abscence causes misclassification, including potentially harmful misclassification of things that aren't paraphilia as paraphilia.
The chronophilia are, as the existing article already states, primarily determined by Tanner stage, not by a specific age, though certain Tanner stages tend to correspond with certain ages. It is common knowledge that, by age 18, the average Western Industrial citizen has already attained Tanner stage 5, and has become a teleiophilia focus. Dr. Seto's & Dr. Blanchard's research and observations acknowledge this, and were cited. If there were any flaws in the formatting of the citations, it is of course entirely proper for editors to edit and correct those errors, but to omit the revisions entirely, when they are both factual, corrective and sufficiently sourced, has an air of activist editing and even fact suppression. Here is the full information AND quoted material for the Dr. Michael Seto citations, which also reference the related & cited works of Dr. Ray Blanchard ( both prominent in the field, both frequently cited on existing chronophilia and related pages ): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/293334555_Hebephilic_Sexual_Offending January 2016 DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-2416-5_3 In book: Sexual offenders: Predisposing antecedents, assessments, and management (pp.29-44)Publisher: SpringerEditors: Amy Phenix, Harry Hoberman Authors: Skye Stephens at Saint Mary's University Skye Stephens Saint Mary's University Michael C Seto at University of Ottawa Michael C Seto University of Ottawa.
Dr. Seto is directly quoted therein stating the followsing: "In the clinical literature, hebephilia has often been (impre-cisely and thus confusingly) equated to a sexual preference in adolescents, which is typically defined as the developmen-tal period between the ages of 12 and 18. This wide age range is problematic as it would include pubescent children... along with sexually mature teenagers who could be easily confused with young adults. A sexual preference in those in late adolescence who show many signs of sexual maturity (Tanner stage 4) or who are sexually mature (Tanner stage 5) is not representative of hebephilia; instead, it can be described as ephebophilia or teleiophilia (Hames & Blanchard, 2012)... older adolescents are reproductively viable and the fact that typically men are sex-ually attracted to older adolescents, as reflected in self-report, psychophysiological, and pornography use studies (Freund, Seeley, Marshall, & Glinfort, 1972; Symons, 1979). (Chart, Table 1, Tanner 5: Secondary sex characteristics reach full maturity: 17 and older (sexually mature) Teleiophilia )... Though typical men are sexually interested in youthfulness, they are also sexually interested in cues of sexual maturity, including adult size, full breasts, and waist-to-hip ratio approaching 0.70 (Buss, 1994). As a result, men are most sexually attracted to older adolescent and young adult women (Kenrick & Keefe, 1992),... Additionally, some labs may use stimuli that include adolescents in Tanner stage 4, which means that they would only be able to detect the presence of ephebophilia, which is not a paraphilia (Hames & Blanchard, 2012)... there were two limitations of this research. First, the offenders were distinguished by victim age rather than maturation status of victims, which would likely increase misclassification. For example, some 14 year olds and more 15 year olds would be expected to be postpubescent, and thus offenders who had an ephebophilic or teleiophilic sexual preference could be misclassified as potentially hebephilic...".
An extensive reference citation section is also provided. The above statements are all from Dr. Michael Seto, & cite the (already cited in wikipedia articles ) works of Dr.s Blanchard & Hames. These statements clarify the real parameters of chronophilia, distinguish what is and ISN'T paraphilia, and correct some of the sweeping errors and inaccuracies of the chronophilia page & of some related pages. These additions and revisions are ESSENTIAL if the Wikipedia pages in question are to be accurate, providing correct and accurate information, rather than (potentially dangerous) disinformation and inaccuracies. The proposed corrections need to be implemented on this chronphilia page, and, for the sake of accuracy and the credibility of the factual correctness of Wikipedia pages, they need to remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4101:E4E0:28B2:3BE:A47F:1F67 ( talk) 01:25, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, Ira
Stanley Simon’s date of death had already appeared in the “information box”, I do not know who did it, I just simply added his age to the death date inside the “information box” as well as the actual death date in the “main article”. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any stories about him.
Sincerely,

Even though I live in Ohio, I am originally from New Jersey (specifically Central Jersey) and to this very day I still root for professional sports teams that represent New York, New York instead of the professional sports teams that represent Cleveland, Ohio.

Both articles are now about cardiac stenting - and PCI. I took the DES article on as a personal project and it has been fleshed out to include PCI and I have also attempted to follow best practices in the layout and structure for a GA type of article.
I am exploring how to merge the articles, they are so very similar but the DES article is I think a child of the CS article.
Just testing the waters - I think they can be rolled into one document - within the GA framework as described on the DES article tp.
Your name was on one or the other articles , and you are an experienced editor - so just politely reaching out.
Thoughts, ideas, how to?

Re Special:Diff/1186498464, you may have noticed the preceding edit comment: "Including an |orig-date= parameter even though it seems to not be understood because Template:Cite arXiv/doc says that I'm allowed to, damn it!"
There's a famous programming aphorism: "If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong." It's hard for me to guess which should be fixed to match the other, and I'd prefer adding support for |orig-date=
to {{
Cite arXiv}}
since it makes sense in the context of multiple versions of a preprint, but if the code is assumed correct, you might want to fix the documentation to match it.
The offending text is in
Template:Citation Style documentation/date, which I could just edit myself, but I'm reluctant because it's also transcluded in other documentation pages like
Template:Cite web/doc which explicitly do allow |orig-date=
.
Adding to my confusion is the fact that
Module:Citation/CS1/Whitelist definitely does include ['orig-date'] = true
. Specifically, that's included in the basic_arguments_t
table which
Module:Citation/CS1/Whitelist/doc says "is supported by all templates."
The whole
Module:Citation/CS1 business is convoluted enough that I'm not sure where the |CitationClass=arxiv
parameter to #invoke:citation/CS1
actually causes anything to happen.
Help? Or at least a pointer to a venue where the {{ #invoke:Citation/CS1|function}} wizards hang out so I can ask them for help? TYVM. 97.102.205.224 ( talk) 16:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your edits on Hunan Yongzhou No.1 High School. However, I want to tell you about high schools in mainland China. The habit of writing English is not to leave a space after "No.". For example, Beijing No.4 High School, one of the top schools in China. Whether it is from the school's official website or Baidu Baike (the most authoritative online encyclopedia in mainland China), it is written "No.4". Even on Google search, you get results like this.

I reverted these edits before noticing that you had made some edits to the material that was added. Not wishing to "step on your toes" so to speak, I wanted to ask if you were ok with these edits. They seem to be coming from IP editors and are continually spurring CopyPatrol warnings (3 at last count, albeit coming from Wikipedia mirrors) but the jist of it is that this information is mostly sourced by the subject herself. So I wanted to touch base with you about that for my future reference — if you're ok with adding that material, then I suppose I would be as well. Please advise. Thank you!

Hi there, I recently published an article. You were the first to make changes to it when it first went public. The article was originally called Ineffective altruism. I then nominated the article for peer review, and two reviewers came in, who put my article back into draft space by highlighting a number of Wikipedia policies that I supposedly did not abide by. I felt like most of their comments were unjustified, however, at times they were very well justified and I was happy that they even raised their concerns. Each time, I propose concrete solutions and ways forward that reach a degree of middle-ground. Each time, they shoot my solutions down and refrain from reaching a consensus.
At one particular point, one of them even attacked my field by saying Please, let's not follow the annoying habit of many social psychologists of stating grandiose conclusions based on trivial experiments. They are the laughingstock of philosophers of science.
, which I find very offensive, given that I am a researcher in the field of social psychology.
Could you intervene and please help me out? I feel like I am fighting an unjustified battle. The talk page is Draft talk:Barriers to effective altruism.

Noticed your edit at
A Rum Affair. There are a bunch of articles with similarly malformed cs1|2 templates currently populating
Category:CS1 errors: dates. If you are going to be picking away at that category, you should definitely be removing things like |id=nla.obj-1309248845
The tag-end of a url path is not an identifier and should not be used as one. Were it me, unless necessary, I would also remove |location=
and |publisher=
because for periodicals these are rarely needed – keep |location=
when it is necessary to disambiguate the periodical (|journal=
, |magazine=
etc). Further whatever periodical is being cited from Trove, is almost never a journal and almost always a magazine so |journal=ABC Weekly
should be changed to |magazine=ABC Weekly
or |periodical=ABC Weekly
etc.
Thanks for cleaning up that mess.

Hello there! I noticed your recent edit to Gram staining where you capitalized "Gram" throughout the article. Actually, this is not as straightforward as it seems. In general when Gram is used as part of a compound adjective (gram-positive, gram-negative, etc.) it is left lowercase. There is a brief explanation of this at the Eponym page as well as some discussion about our specific case at Talk:Gram-negative bacteria and a brief note on the Gram-staining talk page. In general this is the format you'll see from the CDC (sorry you have to scroll down a bit on that one) and other mainstream organizations. I went through the Gram staining page and re-lowercased throughout (except for "Gram stain" which remains uppercase). If you disagree or would like to talk about it, feel free to ping me here or leave a message on my talk page (or post on the Gram staining talk page for a wider audience). Other than that, glad to see someone taking an interest in the Gram staining article! Happy editing!! Ajpolino ( talk) 18:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Don't forget to also add the Findagrave ID to Wikidata, I added your last one. People delete them in Wikipedia, but they are always there at Wikidata. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 04:28, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Some of the changes you made with this edit to the above article actually broke the sentence case in some of the references, by capitalising words that are not proper nouns.
eg:
Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas eliminated
you changed to Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas Eliminated
, but note that all the capitalised words in the sentence before you changed it were proper nouns.
I don't want to revert the whole edit, as some of the changes (moving from all capitals to title case) are valid. I would invite you to revisit this edit and change those which you moved from sentence case to title case back to sentence case. Cheers, Gricehead ( talk) 09:18, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to sentence case or title case. For example, replace the headline "WAR BEGINS TODAY" with "War begins today" or "War Begins Today".(my bold). In the example above, the original edit is equivalent to
War begins todayand your edit is equivalent to
War Beings Today. So you've changed an acceptable per-MOS sentence case to an acceptable per-MOS title case. There is no difference between languages. ( Sentence case states:
Only the first character of the sentence is capitalised, except for proper nouns and other words which are required by a more specific rule to be capitalised.) Not a massive deal, but I don't think we should really be changing one per-MOS acceptable title to another per-MOS acceptable title. Cheers, Gricehead ( talk) 12:47, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ira. Thanks for your edit to the MV Discovery article; however, I have reverted it. I see from your user page that you are American, and Coast Guard is indeed two words in American English, but it is a single word in British English. The reference in the article was to the United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which is the parent body of Her Majesty's Coastguard, so the original spelling was correct.

Hi Ira Leviton,
I won't revert your edits again and i did know the guidelines. But i think it's important to realise that the party name and list name are 2 different things. The Dutch election committee follows instructions from party's choice for partylist name. Styling it this way is the way they participated. Since this is a list of the party lists (and not party names) it's strange not to follow the official party list name.
Anyway. Not going not going to edit war you on this or anything. But i take pride in my accuracy.
With kind regards,

Hi Ira, Thanks for taking an interest in Nantucket's neutrality during the American Revolutionary War, an article that I have found to be problematic owing to its marginal notability and the appearance that it was a school history paper. Perhaps you could take a crack at the lead section. A good summary there could help indicate whether the article focuses on a notable topic. It appears to have some interesting material in the body that probably should find a home in any case. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:48, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Ira, thanks for your edit on Clash of Champions (2017). I noticed you removed the PPV abbreviation in the first sentence. Although it might not be used again in the article right now, it is often later added in the articles, and its actually in the first line of every Impact, WCW and WWE PPV. I understand your rationale for removing but I think it does serve a purpose. Any thoughts on that?
I also notice you recently edited the Israeli Wrestling League article I recently created. I created a bunch of other Israeli wrestling related articles, and a template for them: Template:Professional wrestling in Israel, Professional wrestling in Israel, Ultimate Wrestling Israel, IPWA Heavyweight Championship (Israel), and Tomer Shalom. Any help with a second set of eyes, and with expanding them, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Galatz Talk 18:41, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Ira, I noticed your edits and requests for clarification on Peter Corke. This page is about me so not quite sure the process given WP COI guidelines. You've expanded CSIRO to its full and formal name, but since the 1980s the organisation only refers to itself as CSIRO. It's not an acronym, there are no dots. Maybe expand it out the first time and give the short name in parentheses. You've added matrix laboratory as an expansion for MATLAB, and although that is where the name came from in the 1970s when it was a university project, the company MathWorks founded in 1984 never refer to this meaning for MATLAB. ICT stands for Information and Communications Technology, a fairly well known term in Australia and Europe, it recognises that for IT systems today the communications/networking is super important. But if you expand out CSIRO ICT Centre you no longer have the name of the organisation, it was known internally and externally as CSIRO ICT Centre or even CSIRO ICTC. It's tricky when the contraction becomes the normal way of referring to a thing. Finally, "take up a chair" is a British idiom for becoming a professor. Unlike the US, in the Australia and the UK not all academics are professors: academics rise through the ranks of lecturer, senior lecturer, reader (increasingly associate professor), professor.
Peter.corke ( talk) 21:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Peter.corke:
Hi
I will try to fix the article – either later today or tomorrow, using the information in your message. (As you can probably tell, I hate jargon abbreviations. But if they're explained properly and used properly, then they're OK.)
You taught me a Britishism! (I've wanted to take up a chair many times, but only to use it on somebody from behind.)
And you're right about conflicts of interest, but I'm sure that it can be fixed without you having to do anything.

The phrase and mayor of Jerusalem in 1920–1934. should be and mayor of Jerusalem from 1920-1934. This conforms to British and American use of prepositions. I've been doing this for a decade, Ira, but I don't know how to alter that background section, which is a newer feature. I noticed that you also like proof-reading, so I'm asking you for a how-to. It's possible that the original sentence was in 1920, then someone added -1934, but neglected to update the preposition. MichelleInSanMarcos ( talk) 20:43, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm confused. You removed the word "ironically" from the article Cutty-sark (witch), citing the manual of style, where we are warned against using that word as a peacock word. However, I reverted that, explaining that in this article the word is being used in it's correct sense: when we say that this line in the poem is ironic, we are making a scholarly statement about the literary device of irony which the poet used; we are NOT saying that we find it casually ironic that he did that.

I'm glad someone is working on that gnomish task. I just ask that you be more careful. There's no reason to remove words like "interestingly" from a quote as you did at Navy Working Uniform.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hi, You added a "sic" template to a reference in the Winter Gardens Pavilion, Weston-super-Mare article as the typo is in the source but this means the reference (Ref 20) is now showing a CS1 error "URL–wikilink conflict". Any idea how to fix this?— Rod talk 16:07, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Rodw:
Hi, are you sure this edit is a good idea? If it's the "Lent" issue of some magazine, shouldn't we be keeping their -- the magazine's -- dating? Would we change a "Michaelmas" issue of an Oxford University society publication to read "Autumn" in the reference, even if Michaelmas is how it described itself?
There's also the complication that Lent occurs in the Spring in the northern hemisphere, but in the Fall in the southern hemisphere. If the magazine was an Australian one, or the article subject an Australian, would you change "Lent" to "Autumn" instead of to "Spring"? This can all get confusing quite quickly!

The forms "would grow", "would become", "would open" imply consequences that were going to happen some time in the future. They are followed by statements about more immediate events.

Workshop on teaching kids to read (MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1985) In an age of video games and television reruns, many parents and teachers are finding it increaSingly more difficult to teach and encourage children to read. On November 16, internationally renowned child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, Ph.D., will conduct a one-day workshop through UCSD Extension on problems in teaching children to read. Bettelheim, known for his work with autistic children, will discuss why and how children teach themselves to read, the books that stimulate or dull a child's mind, factors in the home environment that encourage or discourage love of reading, the emotional factors that cause a child to block a word, and how a child's misreading can be seen as intuition rather than as a mistake. Bettelheim, a professor of education and professor of psychology emeritus at the University of Chicago, is the author of a number of books, including his most recent (with Karen Zelan), On Learning to Read: The Child's Fascination With Meaning. The one-day workshop will be held from 8:30 am-5:00 pm. Saturday, November 16 at UCSD Extension. The fee is $95.

Your talk page note and detailed edit summary at Nilphamari District are helpful guidance for new recruits and old salts alike, with regard to best practices around foreign words. The Islamic education levels ebtedayee (elementary), dakhil (secondary), alim (higher secondary), fazil (B.A.), and kamil (M.A.) are probably originally Arabic, borrowed into Bengali the way "madrasah" has been into English.

Hi, Ira. We communicated previously about an article. I just noticed your professional speciality.

I'm curious about your edit summary on
New London Chamber Ensemble (Replaced the jargon abbreviation found with Wikipedia:Typo_Team/moss and reduced ALLCAPS. Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters.
) The acronym for New London Chamber Ensemble isn't "jargon", they use it themselves in their content, and the references writing about them use it as well. I also don't understand pointing to
MOS:CAPS when
MOS:CAPSACRS on that page says we do use all caps for acronyms. I had just edited the article to change the repeated use of the acronym in all lowercase (nlce). I have no problem with the changes to remove the acronym, but your objections don't make sense to me so I was wondering if you could explain your reasoning. Thanks!

May I ask how you found the details you have and if you are related? Zerodroprob ( talk) 02:31, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
I don't think you meant this message to go to me. I simply deleted a word that shouldn't be used. Please look back at the edit history of the page for the right editor.
Thanks, I did just that. Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerodroprob ( talk • contribs) 10:27, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ira! I'm contacting you regarding this edit.
First, you wrote in your comment that you "don't know how to contact somebody with a redlinked user name". This is very simple – just leave a message at the talk page. Redlinked user name means the user does not have a user page, but this doesn't say anything about his/her user talk page. For example, my user page doesn't exist, but my user talk page does. Moreover, even if a user's talk page doesn't exist, you can create it and post a message there, and the user will be notified (unless s/he has disabled notifications deliberately).
Second, regarding your deletions of abbreviations. As you mentioned in your edit comment, "Wikipedia is for general audiences, not just those familiar with the subject" – that's exactly the reason why I expanded every subject-specific abbreviation at its first appearance. However, there is no requirement not to use abbreviations / acronyms in Wikipedia articles; actually, an article on a subject should use the terminology that is used in sources dealing with the subject. Abbreviations are widely used in sources dealing with the field, and IMHO actually make the article more readable (given that they are expanded at the first use).
Best regards,

Hi, do you feel that pavability is a proper noun and should be capitalized? MPS1992 ( talk) 22:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
It looks like I messed up on this one, but it turns out it's for some good. It's not a proper noun. I had thought that it was detected by the spellchecker because it was an arcane word that it didn't recognize, but I capitalized it because it was part of a title. I should have capitalized all the words in the title, but I was just going too quickly for my own good. When I saw your message, I went back to the source at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1203.2854.pdf, just to be sure to make the edit correctly, and I noticed that it should be spelled "paveability". So now I'll make all the corrections and expand the section. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Thank you for your edit to this Scouting related article. You have however undid a lot of correct capitalisation. You might not be aware, but as per WikiProject Scouting/Style advice it is correct to capitalise Scout and other Scout related words.

@ DuncanHill:
Edits like this are almost never appropriate. A construction like that can mean a couple things, but usually something like there being two possibilities, one with the parenthesized part and one without (in that case, homology or cohomology). That a spellchecker doesn't like it is NOT a reason to change it. Plainly removing the parentheses usually changes the meaning. I'm asking that you stop making these changes; I saw something like 26 in your last 500 edits, something like 4-5 or so a day. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 23:39, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Ira Leviton. You might remember that we discussed formatting of quotes with regard to the article Antoine Hamilton. In the meantime I discovered that MOS:QUOTE gives detailed instructions and explicitly directs us to replace all-caps, just as you do and told me. I still wonder a bit whether this also applies to quotations (or extracts) in the footnotes, but there is no good reason to believe it doesn't. However, how did you come to "OrmondeE"?

I'll probably work on TS+COMMA+ for now anyway just in case, but if there isn't actually any risk of conflicting edits I want to know.

Sorry, no. I'm aware that the skit " Racist Word Association Interview" is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article (which I wrote).
However, it is not relevant to the article on the Tar-Baby story that the words "tar baby" were spoken in "RWAI". There are a variety of different racial slurs that could have been used in place of "tar baby", and if any of them had been used in place of "tar baby", "RWAI" would have been no different. Mentioning every single use everywhere of the phrase "tar baby" is not useful. DS ( talk) 20:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ira! Thanks for editing the authors into the various boxes on La Négresse. I wanted to ask you more about this, as I’m still figuring out how complex citations work on wiki. Each of the chapters cited has a different author (why I cited them separately as opposed to the whole book) but the entire book is listed as co-authored by all of those whose names are listed. Is there a way to indicate chapter author (I tried to check the add more fields but nothing came up under “chapter author”)? Any theories on this would be great! Thanks!!

Ira, you corrected the punctuation in three {{cite book}} entries on a page I created—see diff—for which I thank you. As far as I remember, all three were created by using the cite book template, entering the ISBN, and accepting whatever it returned. Obviously, in future I shall keep an eye on the punctuation that it leaves lying around.
I am wondering, though, if this is a problem with the cite book template, or with the Wikidata content on which (I assume) it relies? Can it be fixed?

Hi Ira,
I noticed your edit to Japanese swordsmithing today. I just wanted to point out that the word jou thieh in the Metallography section is actually a Chinese word, not Japanese. I tried to change it, but I'm not good with these templates and stuff. Apparently "ch" is not the code, for Chinese, but if not I have no clue what is. I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks.

Hi Ira, lately I've tried my hand at tagging words as their respective languages. So far my approach seems to work, except for when I tried early middle english.

I don't know how often you look at your Moss subpages, but I have been plugging away at C, along with a few other editors. Today I had an "Aha!" moment that got me so excited that I can barely type without typos.
Your bot had flagged a chemical formula on the page Calculus (dental). When I went to the page, there were several other chemical formulas. The one you had flagged was done simply with letters and subscripts, and the others done with ... the "chem" template at Template:Chem! I had never noticed that one before. And it's a very easy template! I have taken the liberty of adding an instruction to the new in 2020 section of your Moss Quick Start page; feel free to edit that if needed.
Example: Ca9(Mg,Fe)(PO4)6(PO3OH) gets converted to Ca
9(Mg,Fe)(PO
4)
6(PO
3OH). They look identical.
But I'm not sure if what to do about chemistry formulas with words. For instance, should I change cis-11,12-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethano-2-anthroic to cis-11,12-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethano-2-anthroic? They look the same, but I'm wondering if there's a reason not to do this. Formulas with words aren't mentioned on the "chem" template page. (If you know anything about this, please tell me.)

Hi. You recently removed closing table tags from a few articles such as
Tenryū Saburō or
Tikkurilan Palloseura, in the process leaving unclosed tables. This causes a
lint error and can break formatting. In the future, please replace the tag with either the correct closing template (like {{
Sumo record box end}} for Tenryū Saburō) or closing table wikitext (|}
) – although only replacing </table>
is a
cosmetic edit and probably shouldn't be done on a large scale unless you make other changes in the same edit. Thank you. As an aside, in the case of Tikkurilan Palloseura specifically, the optimal thing to do would've been to remove the entire table, which was completely empty and extraneous. –

Hi, regarding your edit Special:Diff/1050042014, most if not all of these language parameters were added by me. You cited two articles but I don't think either one requires the use of language codes. The first one Category:CS1_maint:_unrecognized_language says "MediaWiki recognizes all of the ISO 639-1 two-character codes and some of the ISO 639-2 three-character codes, along with the full official names of the languages corresponding to those codes" (emphasis added). The second one Template:Citation_Style_documentation/language/doc says "This page lists the language codes and names that MediaWiki supports" (emphasis added). I usually use the name of a language rather than the code when making web citations. The reason is that all of the examples given for the template are using the full name (see Template:Cite web/doc#Foreign language and translated title and Template:Cite web/doc#No author, no publisher).
I also noticed that you changed the title of web articles to remove ALLCAPS. I know that we should do this when an article's entire name is in caps (e.g. "FUEL PRICES NOW HIGHEST EVER"), but where there is a mixture between caps and lower case in a title, I tend to keep the original, especially when citing a foreign language title where their local conventions may be different.

Good day Ira. I have not heard from you for a while but then found a correction from you this morning on the page Baron Kingsale, which is on my watchlist. Glad to see you are active and improving Wikipedia. In this case it was a double article "the" in the form of a "the [[The". You might remember our discussion about all-caps words in footquotes. I resisted your changes and maintained the all-caps must be kept in footquotes. I now think I was wrong. User:AustralianRupert (now retired) convinced me during an A-Class review of the article Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty. Two MOS rules apply: MOS:ALLCAPS and MOS:CONFORM. The second rule insists that "a quotation is not a facsimile" and "text should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions" but "preserve bold and italics". Greetings.

Hi. You made a formatting edit on this page, following an edit by me. But a person with a declared COI keeps undoing my edits. He is possibly using other accounts as sockpuppets. He claims I added "some random news" when I merely: a) took two items already existing on the page and merged them into a section titled "Controversies", b) and added a third item. This third item is very newsworthy. It resulted in a conviction of a foreign agent. Others with links to the same agent (such as state Senator Dan Burton) have it mentioned on their page too).

I greatly appreciated the revisions you made to minor errors in one of my source citations on the Chronophilia page. Unfortunately, the very accurate, sourced & essential corrections & revisions I made to factual errors on the page were rolled back ( by a different editor ) without legitimate reasons for the rollback beyond vague allegations of "not sourced" when ample sourcing was provided (thank you Legitimus for the edit data). I'm reaching out to you because you seem like a fair, unbiased, facts first type of editor, & I need help making the proper revisions to that page. I don't want to be unfairly accused of "vandalism" for making much needed revisions. My facts, with related source material ( all of which you know was formatted into citation ) follow:
The existing (unrevised) Chronophilia page has glaring & potentially dangerous inaccuracies and misinformation, making overbroad claims that are contradicted by the scientific facts and assertions. Ephebophilia is not just broad attraction to "late teens", nor is teleiophilia exculsive attraction to "20s & 30s", which the page currently and falsely claims. Ephbophilia & Teleiophilia, both clinically normative, are defined by attractions to Tanner Stages 4 & 5. This is an essential detail, as its abscence causes misclassification, including potentially harmful misclassification of things that aren't paraphilia as paraphilia.
The chronophilia are, as the existing article already states, primarily determined by Tanner stage, not by a specific age, though certain Tanner stages tend to correspond with certain ages. It is common knowledge that, by age 18, the average Western Industrial citizen has already attained Tanner stage 5, and has become a teleiophilia focus. Dr. Seto's & Dr. Blanchard's research and observations acknowledge this, and were cited. If there were any flaws in the formatting of the citations, it is of course entirely proper for editors to edit and correct those errors, but to omit the revisions entirely, when they are both factual, corrective and sufficiently sourced, has an air of activist editing and even fact suppression. Here is the full information AND quoted material for the Dr. Michael Seto citations, which also reference the related & cited works of Dr. Ray Blanchard ( both prominent in the field, both frequently cited on existing chronophilia and related pages ): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/293334555_Hebephilic_Sexual_Offending January 2016 DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-2416-5_3 In book: Sexual offenders: Predisposing antecedents, assessments, and management (pp.29-44)Publisher: SpringerEditors: Amy Phenix, Harry Hoberman Authors: Skye Stephens at Saint Mary's University Skye Stephens Saint Mary's University Michael C Seto at University of Ottawa Michael C Seto University of Ottawa.
Dr. Seto is directly quoted therein stating the followsing: "In the clinical literature, hebephilia has often been (impre-cisely and thus confusingly) equated to a sexual preference in adolescents, which is typically defined as the developmen-tal period between the ages of 12 and 18. This wide age range is problematic as it would include pubescent children... along with sexually mature teenagers who could be easily confused with young adults. A sexual preference in those in late adolescence who show many signs of sexual maturity (Tanner stage 4) or who are sexually mature (Tanner stage 5) is not representative of hebephilia; instead, it can be described as ephebophilia or teleiophilia (Hames & Blanchard, 2012)... older adolescents are reproductively viable and the fact that typically men are sex-ually attracted to older adolescents, as reflected in self-report, psychophysiological, and pornography use studies (Freund, Seeley, Marshall, & Glinfort, 1972; Symons, 1979). (Chart, Table 1, Tanner 5: Secondary sex characteristics reach full maturity: 17 and older (sexually mature) Teleiophilia )... Though typical men are sexually interested in youthfulness, they are also sexually interested in cues of sexual maturity, including adult size, full breasts, and waist-to-hip ratio approaching 0.70 (Buss, 1994). As a result, men are most sexually attracted to older adolescent and young adult women (Kenrick & Keefe, 1992),... Additionally, some labs may use stimuli that include adolescents in Tanner stage 4, which means that they would only be able to detect the presence of ephebophilia, which is not a paraphilia (Hames & Blanchard, 2012)... there were two limitations of this research. First, the offenders were distinguished by victim age rather than maturation status of victims, which would likely increase misclassification. For example, some 14 year olds and more 15 year olds would be expected to be postpubescent, and thus offenders who had an ephebophilic or teleiophilic sexual preference could be misclassified as potentially hebephilic...".
An extensive reference citation section is also provided. The above statements are all from Dr. Michael Seto, & cite the (already cited in wikipedia articles ) works of Dr.s Blanchard & Hames. These statements clarify the real parameters of chronophilia, distinguish what is and ISN'T paraphilia, and correct some of the sweeping errors and inaccuracies of the chronophilia page & of some related pages. These additions and revisions are ESSENTIAL if the Wikipedia pages in question are to be accurate, providing correct and accurate information, rather than (potentially dangerous) disinformation and inaccuracies. The proposed corrections need to be implemented on this chronphilia page, and, for the sake of accuracy and the credibility of the factual correctness of Wikipedia pages, they need to remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4101:E4E0:28B2:3BE:A47F:1F67 ( talk) 01:25, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, Ira
Stanley Simon’s date of death had already appeared in the “information box”, I do not know who did it, I just simply added his age to the death date inside the “information box” as well as the actual death date in the “main article”. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any stories about him.
Sincerely,

P.S. Even though I live in Ohio, I am originally from New Jersey (specifically Central Jersey) and to this very day I still root for professional sports teams that represent New York, New York instead of the professional sports teams that represent Cleveland, Ohio.

Both articles are now about cardiac stenting - and PCI. I took the DES article on as a personal project and it has been fleshed out to include PCI and I have also attempted to follow best practices in the layout and structure for a GA type of article.
I am exploring how to merge the articles, they are so very similar but the DES article is I think a child of the CS article.
Just testing the waters - I think they can be rolled into one document - within the GA framework as described on the DES article tp.
Your name was on one or the other articles , and you are an experienced editor - so just politely reaching out.
Thoughts, ideas, how to?

Re Special:Diff/1186498464, you may have noticed the preceding edit comment: "Including an |orig-date= parameter even though it seems to not be understood because Template:Cite arXiv/doc says that I'm allowed to, damn it!"
There's a famous programming aphorism: "If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong." It's hard for me to guess which should be fixed to match the other, and I'd prefer adding support for |orig-date=
to {{
Cite arXiv}}
since it makes sense in the context of multiple versions of a preprint, but if the code is assumed correct, you might want to fix the documentation to match it.
The offending text is in
Template:Citation Style documentation/date, which I could just edit myself, but I'm reluctant because it's also transcluded in other documentation pages like
Template:Cite web/doc which explicitly do allow |orig-date=
.
Adding to my confusion is the fact that
Module:Citation/CS1/Whitelist definitely does include ['orig-date'] = true
. Specifically, that's included in the basic_arguments_t
table which
Module:Citation/CS1/Whitelist/doc says "is supported by all templates."
The whole
Module:Citation/CS1 business is convoluted enough that I'm not sure where the |CitationClass=arxiv
parameter to #invoke:citation/CS1
actually causes anything to happen.
Help? Or at least a pointer to a venue where the {{ #invoke:Citation/CS1|function}} wizards hang out so I can ask them for help? TYVM. 97.102.205.224 ( talk) 16:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your edits on Hunan Yongzhou No.1 High School. However, I want to tell you about high schools in mainland China. The habit of writing English is not to leave a space after "No.". For example, Beijing No.4 High School, one of the top schools in China. Whether it is from the school's official website or Baidu Baike (the most authoritative online encyclopedia in mainland China), it is written "No.4". Even on Google search, you get results like this.

I reverted these edits before noticing that you had made some edits to the material that was added. Not wishing to "step on your toes" so to speak, I wanted to ask if you were ok with these edits. They seem to be coming from IP editors and are continually spurring CopyPatrol warnings (3 at last count, albeit coming from Wikipedia mirrors) but the jist of it is that this information is mostly sourced by the subject herself. So I wanted to touch base with you about that for my future reference — if you're ok with adding that material, then I suppose I would be as well. Please advise. Thank you!

Hi there, I recently published an article. You were the first to make changes to it when it first went public. The article was originally called Ineffective altruism. I then nominated the article for peer review, and two reviewers came in, who put my article back into draft space by highlighting a number of Wikipedia policies that I supposedly did not abide by. I felt like most of their comments were unjustified, however, at times they were very well justified and I was happy that they even raised their concerns. Each time, I propose concrete solutions and ways forward that reach a degree of middle-ground. Each time, they shoot my solutions down and refrain from reaching a consensus.
At one particular point, one of them even attacked my field by saying Please, let's not follow the annoying habit of many social psychologists of stating grandiose conclusions based on trivial experiments. They are the laughingstock of philosophers of science.
, which I find very offensive, given that I am a researcher in the field of social psychology.
Could you intervene and please help me out? I feel like I am fighting an unjustified battle. The talk page is Draft talk:Barriers to effective altruism.

Noticed your edit at
A Rum Affair. There are a bunch of articles with similarly malformed cs1|2 templates currently populating
Category:CS1 errors: dates. If you are going to be picking away at that category, you should definitely be removing things like |id=nla.obj-1309248845
The tag-end of a url path is not an identifier and should not be used as one. Were it me, unless necessary, I would also remove |location=
and |publisher=
because for periodicals these are rarely needed – keep |location=
when it is necessary to disambiguate the periodical (|journal=
, |magazine=
etc). Further whatever periodical is being cited from Trove, is almost never a journal and almost always a magazine so |journal=ABC Weekly
should be changed to |magazine=ABC Weekly
or |periodical=ABC Weekly
etc.
Thanks for cleaning up that mess.
