Never heard of this. We weight people in Kg up where I live. We rarely use pounds (just the old people). In the USA I know the nonscientific us pounds and the scientific us Kg. Maybe that is the difference. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Apropos of your edit at Richard Watson (singer) I had no idea that "coauthors" was now deprecated. I have put this field in dozens, probably hundreds, of articles. Is there any way of replacing the lot or is it a matter of remembering to change them when next visiting each article? Tangentially, following what I find the prevalent practice in printed references, I prefer the second author to be John Smith, rather than Smith, John. It's not a matter of great importance, and I see the WP:cite book page allows for this. I'll go down that route in future, and am obliged to you for raising the matter. Best wishes, Tim riley ( talk) 19:09, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Your copyediting is okay sometimes. But shouldn't, as a copyeditor, you always make articles better? Or should we just say everyone is prone to make mistakes? Your copyediting over at Adolescent sexuality in the United States leaves much to be desired. And your copyedits elsewhere consist of you making unnecessary, sometimes unnecessarily elaborate, changes. You overtag and overuse blockquotes. I also think that when one or more editors reject your copyedits, you should just back off. If your copyedits are truly an improvement, then discuss them on the talk page when rejected. But try more often to see why others don't or might not appreciate your copyediting. In some cases, you are dealing with Wikipedia editors far more experienced than you and who are far better at building articles than you. 72.216.11.67 ( talk) 15:32, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

This edit of yours left unexpanded {{subst:DATE}} tags to the article for some reason. -- hydrox ( talk) 17:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
<ref>...</ref>
tags for some reason (a
MediaWiki code bug maybe?).Wanted to let you know that I've given you the "template editor" user right, which will allow you to edit pages that have been given "template-editor protection". This won't help with {{ Actinium}}, since it's fully protected, but it will enable you to edit many templates that shouldn't be just semiprotected. The user right is quite new and just got consensus a few months ago, so there are lots of templates currently at full protection that need to be downgraded to template-editor protected. In case you wonder — I gave you the right because it's clear that you're making a lot of good edits to templates: it looks like you're exactly the kind of editor for whom this user right was created, since it's meant to ensure that trustworthy people can implement edits to templates instead of having to wait around for editprotected requests to be answered. With this in mind, please continue doing what you have been doing, and if you find a template that's been fully protected because of vulnerability/numerous transclusions, you're welcome to go to RFPP and ask that they be downgraded to template-editor, or removed entirely if they're in a situation like the Actinium template. Nyttend ( talk) 03:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
The tag you placed on the CO2 template appears to be causing a speedy deletion tag to appear everywhere that the CO2 in curly braces is used (as shown below). I'm not an experienced template editor (I'm not sure I even have permissions to fix this problem), so I hope that you can resolve this issue. Thank you!

I noticed on your user page that you say you sometimes feel useless on Wikipedia.
There's no need to feel that way, as there's no such thing as a useless editor.
Just keep doing what you do, and never be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.
By the way..these are for you:
The first one is something you're automatically entitled to when you sign up on Wikipedia, and the second one you earned due to the amount of time and edits you put in.

Hey, Meteor sandwich yum! I saw your question on the Teahouse and was wondering about it. (In passing, an IP block exemption is what you're looking for, but it's only handed out in very limited circumstances.) Anyway, my question is (and without meaning to pry too much): do you think it'll help to only use TOR some of the time? Even assuming that TOR is a perfect safeguard against surveillance: if you make edits without the protection of TOR, they'll be able to track you based on those unprotected edits, and then they'll be able to link your protected edits to you because they're all associated with the same username. Again, I don't mean to pry, so if this makes you uncomfortable, just say the word and I'll drop it. Your question just got me to thinking, and since it's pretty much off-topic, I didn't want to clutter up the Teahouse question with it. Anyway, cheers! :) Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 01:04, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

(Regarding the eponymous article)
I'd be more sympathetic to marking that BLP if he was living, but the article says the author of that book died in 2012. I mostly work at trying to do triage on actual BLPs, which is why I fiddled with the tags. Also, I kinda felt like the one in the Refs section was redundant, but *shrug*.

Hello, meteor sandwich yum... I'm todd adams, the real todd adams, owner of newbys, i bought the company from david newby harsh...
I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off!
i'm the one that was steam rolled by BMI... I'm also the only one in the that has ever won a judgement while fighting BMI... Which BMI didnt like, they in turn sued me again in Federal Court for Copyright Infringement... This went on for a while, we settled because I had no more money to pay lawyers to represent me... I failed miserably representing myself against 4 lawyers from NY, Nashville and locally... I failed in the mediation and was forced to agree to insane terms, in due time i failed to comply with and was ordered to pay even more $$$ to BMI lawyers... All under the veil of secrecy, not to divulge any information to the public!
I spent time yesterday writing the FACTS in my incident! What happened to me, as doing business as Newbys... This was and is what happened in the controversies of Newbys!
I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off! As there's no reason to tell / post one side of the story! BMI is worse than organized crime, the Mafia! Stealing from the public billions of dollars, not paying to artists their due... as they have no idea what songs are actually played in businesses! the smallest % scales collected from private and public companies are paid to the highest of the level of artists and keeping the majority to line their pockets, buy the most expensive parcels of property, throw lavish parties and retain the best, most expensive lawyers / bribe officials... this and the other license companies have no room for our World! Here in Memphis, TN they threatened to sue the public library per the music they let students and the public listen to, to the tune of over $20K the City was forced to pay BMI or go to court, costing the City even more $$$... One City out of all the Cities in America... $20K is a drop in the bucket they steal / rob / threaten everyone!
BMI most uttered phrase: PAY US OR WE WILL SUE YOU!

WP:Anatomy quarterly update (#2)
Hello WP:ANATOMY participant! This is the second quarterly update of goings-on in WP:ANATOMY, documenting the current state of WP:ANATOMY, current projects and items of interest, and any relevant news. I'd greatly value feedback on this, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list
On any given week we have at least 4-10 editors making significant contributions to our articles, with probably more than double this making minor edits. As an editor, I am often wondering: with so many articles, where to start? There is so much to be done (as always, on Wikipedia!), and I aim here to provide a comprehensive list of venues within our project. If I've missed any, please let us know on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page.

Re this edit: with an A7 deletion, it's best to advise them to approach the deleting admin first (which is usually the best approach in any case). REFUND is mainly intended for uncontroversial PROD and WP:CSD#G13 restorations, rather than for second-guessing admins, and people asking about A7 deletions will normally get referred to the deleting admin, as I have done in this case, so they can start to feel that they are being given the run-around.

Hi. It's Redrecks. You left a message about User:71.239.172.110 on my "Talk" page I think it's called?
Anyway the main reason I have come to you, is after reading the message you left, I do understand that some people are a "Bit harsh" and do say something to upset people. Well this User:71.239.172.110 DID get me upset.
I noticed on her page, the many, many people have left messages for her/him/ telling this person that they are not being very nice at all. And that this User is leaving nasty messages left, right and centre. She has also been banned before for being nasty.
I assume she will leave me another message as I have just changed yet another of her spelling mistakes, which is what she had a problem with initially. I was taught that any naming word, such as "Ambassador", "Talk Book", a segment of the show called "Test Shoot", all start with capital letters. as anything lower case is just for everyday words? I corrected her spelling of "talk book", "ambassador" and "test shoot", all naming words, with capitals. This is why she has left such a bitter message.
I have NO trouble what-so-ever if someone changes what I write or do. But leaving such a nasty reason in the Edit and then on my page, is just being spiteful. Other's have changed what I have written, but have been nice to me about it, as I have been nice back to them.
Thank you for leaving your message. I do truly understand and are the last person to ever try and cause a fight.

Hi, re
this edit. Your problem at {{

was that by boldfacing inside the {{
Strip whitespace}}
, you were hiding the whitespace so that it couldn't be stripped. That is, instead of {{Strip whitespace|x='''{{{1}}}'''}}
use '''{{Strip whitespace|x={{{1}}}}}'''
so that the boldface happens after the whitespace has been removed. --

Hi! Thanks for your assessment effort. It looks like there is a problem with the script "Rater" you're using, because it adds the Template:WikiProject Computer science even if it was already present on the talk page. Here is an example of what you get: Talk:Syntactic sugar. It seems that the "Rater" script does not handle this particular WikiProject correctly, so we should fix it or stop using this script for this WikiProject. But I have no idea how to fix this! Cheers.

WP:Anatomy quarterly update (#3)

Anatomical terminology is an essential component to all our articles. It is necessary to describe structures accurately and without ambiguity. It can also be extremely confusing and, let's face it, it's likely you too were confused too before you knew what was going on ("It's all Greek to me!" you may have said, fairly accurately).
In the opinion of this editor, it's very important that we try hard to describe anatomy in a way that is both technically accurate and accessible. The majority of our readers are lay readers and will not be fluent in terminology. Anatomy is a thoroughly interesting discipline, but it shouldn't be 'locked away' only to those who are fluent in the lingo – exploring anatomy should not be limited by education, technical-level English fluency, or unfamiliarity with its jargon. Anatomical terminology is one barrier to anatomical literacy.
Here are four ways that we can help improve the readability of our anatomical articles.

WikiProject Anatomy Newsletter #4
Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is the fourth update, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. We've had a quiet time over the last half-year or so, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter and will probably release the next one around the end of the year. If you'd like to provide some feedback, if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list
This issue was originally going to focus on how far we've come as a project. However, that encouraging news can wait until next issue, as there are simply too many changes going on at the "back end" of our project not to write about. What do I mean by "back end"? I mean changes that are not necessarily visible to readers, but may have a significant impact on the way we edit or on future edits.
Templates
A number of visible changes have been made to our templates. Firstly, the way our templates have been linked together has changed. Previously, this was a small bar with single-letter links. This has been replaced by a light-coloured box contained within all our templates with fully-worded links, which provides links to relevant anatomy and medical templates. This should make life a lot easier, particularly for students and other readers who are struggling with the vastness of anatomical systems and their related diseases and treatments.
As part of this, almost all our templates have been reviewed and cleaned up. The previously confusing colour scheme has been removed and colour standardised. The titles have been simplified. References to "identifiers" in the titles of navigation boxes (such as Gray's Anatomy and Terminologia Anatomica numbers) have been removed. Where possible, the wiki-code of templates has been updated to give a cleaner, more standardised, format that is hopefully more friendly to new editors. The cleanup continues , please feel free to contribute or propose templates which need attention.
Anatomy infobox
Most of our articles have an infobox. Previously, there were 11 separate infoboxes for different fields, such as muscles, nerves and embryology. These have been united so that at the "back end", every template will take formatting directly from the main anatomy infobox -- however at the "front end", there is little difference for readers. This will make future changes much easier -- including adding new fields, formatting, and reordering the contents. Several changes have already been made: infoboxes now link to a relevant anatomical terminology article; contents are now divided into 'Identifiers' and 'Details' headings, making it easier to grasp content for new readers; and new fields have been added, including Greek and UBERON, with several more under discussion.
External links
An editor has reviewed all our template-based external links. These are the links that often fill the "External links" category, and sometimes used as citations. At least thirty different links sets, with the number of links stretching into the thousands, have been fixed, and if not functioning, deleted. A number of non-functioning dead links (with no archived websites available), and one or two others, have been deleted. This helps keep our 'external links' section relevant and functioning for those readers who want extra information about articles.
Wikidata
Perhaps our most important change has been integration with Wikidata. This is because of both its current uses and potential future uses. Wikidata is a service related to Wikipedia focusing on storing information. Data relating to a Wikipedia item (such as a muscle or bone, or even a template) can have related "structured" infomation stored systematically alongside it. For example, a muscle can have information about its embryological origin, nerve supply, and the relevant sections of Terminologica Anatomica (TA) stored alongside it. Much information that was stored within articles on infoboxes is now stored on Wikidata, including the TA, TH, and TE fields. An immediate benefit is that Wikipedias in every language will (as they update their own infoboxes, be able to automatically include this information. New data can be entered in a much easier format, and data can be batch entered by bots making future updates much easier Future uses include data visualisation. I personally am looking forward to the day when a reader can view a wikidata-based "tree", clicking mesoderm and seeing all of the derived structures, then selecting the intermediate mesoderm, then Pronephric duct, mesonephric duct and vas deferens. The possibilities of using Wikidata for data visualisation are really quite encouraging!
Our next issue will focus on how far WikiProject Anatomy has come in the past 2 years.

WP:Anatomy newsletter (#5)
Hello WP:Anatomy participant! This is our fifth newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. There hasn't been too much worthy of news, and I have less time to dedicate to this project, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter.
I value feedback, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talk page, or remove your name from the mailing list
How far have we come since our first newsletter... the answer is quite a lot! Here goes:
These are substantial improvements and my thanks go out to our many editors who played a part in this. These improvements are almost always the result of consensus, compromise, collaboration and discussion between multiple editors.
I hope we can continue to improve in the future. How can you help? Continue to edit, add content, and create a welcoming atmosphere so that new editors will join us.
Well done to us all, and the many anonymous editors who've helped along the way!

new good articles since last newsletter include Thyroid, Hypoglossal nerve, Axillary arch, Human brain, Cerebrospinal fluid, Accessory nerve, Gallbladder, and Interventricular foramina (neuroanatomy) | |
I write an Introduction to Anatomy on Wikipedia in the Journal of Anatomy [448] | |
Vagina receives a lot of attention on its way to good article status. | |
We reach two projects goals of 20 good articles, and less than half of our articles as stubs, in July 2017. [449] | |
A discussion about two preferred section titles takes place here. |
Seeing as we have so many new members, and a constant stream of new editors to our articles, I would like to write in this issue about how our project and articles are arranged.
The main page for WikiProject Anatomy is here. We are a WikiProject, which is a group of editors interested in editing and maintaining anatomy articles. Our editors come from all sorts of disciplines, from academically trained anatomists, students, and lay readers, to experienced Wikipedia editors. Based on previous discussions, members of our project have chosen to focus mainly on human anatomy ( [450]), with a separate project for animal anatomy ( WP:ANAN). A WikiProject has no specific rights or abilities on Wikipedia, however it does allow a central venue for discussion on different issues where interested editors can be asked to contribute, collaborate, and perhaps reach a consensus.
Wikipedia has about 5,500,000 articles. Of these, about 20,000 fall under our project, about 5,000 of which are text-containing articles. Articles are manually assigned by editors as relating to our project (many using the rater tool). As well as articles, other Wikipedia pages in our project include, lists, disambiguation pages, and redirects. Our articles are improving over time, and you can have a look at our goals and progress, or last newsletter, to get a better idea about this.
Our articles are structured according to the manual of style, specifically here. The manual of style is a guideline, which "is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply", and prescribes the layout of anatomy articles, most of which follow it.
Our articles are organised in a particular way. Most articles have a infobox in its lead, describing key characteristics about the article. Because we have so many articles, articles are often linked together in different ways. An article tends to focus on the primary topic it is written about. Further information can be linked like this, or piped ( like this). We use navboxes, which are the boxes at the bottom of articles providing links to similar topics, as well as hatnotes. Typical hatnotes in articles include {{ main}}, {{ see also}} and {{ further}}. This lets us link to relevant and related articles. The bottom of articles also shows categories, which store groups of related articles.
For interested editors, our project offers a number of additional tools to help edit our articles. On our main page appears a log of the most edited recent articles. An automatic list of recent changes to all our articles is here. We have a list of the most popular pages ( WP:ANAT500). To keep abreast of news and discussions, it is best to monitor our talk page, newsletters, and our article alerts, which automatically lists deletion, good article, featured article, and move proposals. We also have a open tasks page for editors to create lists of tasks that other editors can collaborate with. Articles are also manually assigned to a "discipline", so interested editors in for example, gross anatomy, histology, or embryology can easily locate articles via here.
Our project has all sorts of smaller items that editors may or may not know about, including a barnstar, user box ({{ User WPAnatomy}}), welcoming template ({{ WPANATOMY welcome}}) and fairly comprehensive listing of templates ( here).
We are always happy to help out, and I invite new editors, or for those with any questions relating to how to get around the confusing environment that is Wikipedia, to post on our talk page or, for a kind introduction to questions, at the WP:TEAHOUSE.

Never heard of this. We weight people in Kg up where I live. We rarely use pounds (just the old people). In the USA I know the nonscientific us pounds and the scientific us Kg.

Apropos of your edit at Richard Watson (singer) I had no idea that "coauthors" was now deprecated. I have put this field in dozens, probably hundreds, of articles. Is there any way of replacing the lot or is it a matter of remembering to change them when next visiting each article? Tangentially, following what I find the prevalent practice in printed references, I prefer the second author to be John Smith, rather than Smith, John. It's not a matter of great importance, and I see the WP:cite book page allows for this. I'll go down that route in future, and am obliged to you for raising the matter.

Your copyediting is okay sometimes. But shouldn't, as a copyeditor, you always make articles better? Or should we just say everyone is prone to make mistakes? Your copyediting over at Adolescent sexuality in the United States leaves much to be desired. And your copyedits elsewhere consist of you making unnecessary, sometimes unnecessarily elaborate, changes. You overtag and overuse blockquotes. I also think that when one or more editors reject your copyedits, you should just back off. If your copyedits are truly an improvement, then discuss them on the talk page when rejected. But try more often to see why others don't or might not appreciate your copyediting. In some cases, you are dealing with Wikipedia editors far more experienced than you and who are far better at building articles than you. 72.216.11.67 ( talk) 15:32, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

This edit of yours left unexpanded {{subst:DATE}} tags to the article for some reason. -- hydrox ( talk) 17:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
<ref>...</ref>
tags for some reason (a
MediaWiki code bug maybe?).Wanted to let you know that I've given you the "template editor" user right, which will allow you to edit pages that have been given "template-editor protection". This won't help with {{ Actinium}}, since it's fully protected, but it will enable you to edit many templates that shouldn't be just semiprotected. The user right is quite new and just got consensus a few months ago, so there are lots of templates currently at full protection that need to be downgraded to template-editor protected. In case you wonder — I gave you the right because it's clear that you're making a lot of good edits to templates: it looks like you're exactly the kind of editor for whom this user right was created, since it's meant to ensure that trustworthy people can implement edits to templates instead of having to wait around for editprotected requests to be answered. With this in mind, please continue doing what you have been doing, and if you find a template that's been fully protected because of vulnerability/numerous transclusions, you're welcome to go to RFPP and ask that they be downgraded to template-editor, or removed entirely if they're in a situation like the Actinium template.

The tag you placed on the CO2 template appears to be causing a speedy deletion tag to appear everywhere that the CO2 in curly braces is used (as shown below).

I noticed on your user page that you say you sometimes feel useless on Wikipedia.
There's no need to feel that way, as there's no such thing as a useless editor.
Just keep doing what you do, and never be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.
By the way..these are for you:

(In passing, an IP block exemption is what you're looking for, but it's only handed out in very limited circumstances.) Anyway, my question is (and without meaning to pry too much): do you think it'll help to only use TOR some of the time? Even assuming that TOR is a perfect safeguard against surveillance: if you make edits without the protection of TOR, they'll be able to track you based on those unprotected edits, and then they'll be able to link your protected edits to you because they're all associated with the same username. Again, I don't mean to pry, so if this makes you uncomfortable, just say the word and I'll drop it. Your question just got me to thinking, and since it's pretty much off-topic, I didn't want to clutter up the Teahouse question with it. Anyway, cheers! :) Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 01:04, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

(Regarding the eponymous article)
I'd be more sympathetic to marking that BLP if he was living, but the article says the author of that book died in 2012. I mostly work at trying to do triage on actual BLPs, which is why I fiddled with the tags. Also, I kinda felt like the one in the Refs section was redundant, but *shrug*.
Mostly I don't think it should show up on lists like this: Wikipedia:Database_reports/Biographies_of_living_people_possibly_eligible_for_deletion -- j⚛e decker talk 19:54, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, meteor sandwich yum... I'm todd adams, the real todd adams, owner of newbys, i bought the company from david newby harsh...
I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off!
i'm the one that was steam rolled by BMI... I'm also the only one in the that has ever won a judgement while fighting BMI... Which BMI didnt like, they in turn sued me again in Federal Court for Copyright Infringement... This went on for a while, we settled because I had no more money to pay lawyers to represent me... I failed miserably representing myself against 4 lawyers from NY, Nashville and locally... I failed in the mediation and was forced to agree to insane terms, in due time i failed to comply with and was ordered to pay even more $$$ to BMI lawyers... All under the veil of secrecy, not to divulge any information to the public!
I spent time yesterday writing the FACTS in my incident! What happened to me, as doing business as Newbys... This was and is what happened in the controversies of Newbys!
I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off! As there's no reason to tell / post one side of the story! BMI is worse than organized crime, the Mafia! Stealing from the public billions of dollars, not paying to artists their due... as they have no idea what songs are actually played in businesses! the smallest % scales collected from private and public companies are paid to the highest of the level of artists and keeping the majority to line their pockets, buy the most expensive parcels of property, throw lavish parties and retain the best, most expensive lawyers / bribe officials... this and the other license companies have no room for our World! Here in Memphis, TN they threatened to sue the public library per the music they let students and the public listen to, to the tune of over $20K the City was forced to pay BMI or go to court, costing the City even more $$$... One City out of all the Cities in America... $20K is a drop in the bucket they steal / rob / threaten everyone!
BMI most uttered phrase: PAY US OR WE WILL SUE YOU!

Hello Meteor sandwich yum. I have a question about new article. I didn't understand exactly about wgolf's message with this title "Speedy deletion nomination of Mostafa Amini".

WP:Anatomy quarterly update (#2)
Hello WP:ANATOMY participant! This is the second quarterly update of goings-on in WP:ANATOMY, documenting the current state of WP:ANATOMY, current projects and items of interest, and any relevant news. I'd greatly value feedback on this, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list
On any given week we have at least 4-10 editors making significant contributions to our articles, with probably more than double this making minor edits. As an editor, I am often wondering: with so many articles, where to start? There is so much to be done (as always, on Wikipedia!), and I aim here to provide a comprehensive list of venues within our project. If I've missed any, please let us know on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page.

Re this edit: with an A7 deletion, it's best to advise them to approach the deleting admin first (which is usually the best approach in any case). REFUND is mainly intended for uncontroversial PROD and WP:CSD#G13 restorations, rather than for second-guessing admins, and people asking about A7 deletions will normally get referred to the deleting admin, as I have done in this case, so they can start to feel that they are being given the run-around.

Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

Hi. It's Redrecks. You left a message about User:71.239.172.110 on my "Talk" page I think it's called?
Anyway the main reason I have come to you, is after reading the message you left, I do understand that some people are a "Bit harsh" and do say something to upset people. Well this User:71.239.172.110 DID get me upset.
I noticed on her page, the many, many people have left messages for her/him/ telling this person that they are not being very nice at all. And that this User is leaving nasty messages left, right and centre. She has also been banned before for being nasty.
I assume she will leave me another message as I have just changed yet another of her spelling mistakes, which is what she had a problem with initially. I was taught that any naming word, such as "Ambassador", "Talk Book", a segment of the show called "Test Shoot", all start with capital letters. as anything lower case is just for everyday words? I corrected her spelling of "talk book", "ambassador" and "test shoot", all naming words, with capitals. This is why she has left such a bitter message.
I have NO trouble what-so-ever if someone changes what I write or do. But leaving such a nasty reason in the Edit and then on my page, is just being spiteful. Other's have changed what I have written, but have been nice to me about it, as I have been nice back to them.
Thank you for leaving your message. I do truly understand and are the last person to ever try and cause a fight.

Hi, re
this edit. Your problem at {{

was that by boldfacing inside the {{
Strip whitespace}}
, you were hiding the whitespace so that it couldn't be stripped. That is, instead of {{Strip whitespace|x='''{{{1}}}'''}}
use '''{{Strip whitespace|x={{{1}}}}}'''
so that the boldface happens after the whitespace has been removed. --

Hi! Thanks for your assessment effort. It looks like there is a problem with the script "Rater" you're using, because it adds the Template:WikiProject Computer science even if it was already present on the talk page. Here is an example of what you get: Talk:Syntactic sugar. It seems that the "Rater" script does not handle this particular WikiProject correctly, so we should fix it or stop using this script for this WikiProject. But I have no idea how to fix this! Cheers.

Anatomical terminology is an essential component to all our articles. It is necessary to describe structures accurately and without ambiguity. It can also be extremely confusing and, let's face it, it's likely you too were confused too before you knew what was going on ("It's all Greek to me!" you may have said, fairly accurately).
In the opinion of this editor, it's very important that we try hard to describe anatomy in a way that is both technically accurate and accessible. The majority of our readers are lay readers and will not be fluent in terminology. Anatomy is a thoroughly interesting discipline, but it shouldn't be 'locked away' only to those who are fluent in the lingo – exploring anatomy should not be limited by education, technical-level English fluency, or unfamiliarity with its jargon. Anatomical terminology is one barrier to anatomical literacy.
Here are four ways that we can help improve the readability of our anatomical articles.
This essay is provided in full on WP:ANATSIMPLIFY.

WikiProject Anatomy Newsletter #4
Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is the fourth update, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. We've had a quiet time over the last half-year or so, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter and will probably release the next one around the end of the year. If you'd like to provide some feedback, if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list
This issue was originally going to focus on how far we've come as a project. However, that encouraging news can wait until next issue, as there are simply too many changes going on at the "back end" of our project not to write about. What do I mean by "back end"? I mean changes that are not necessarily visible to readers, but may have a significant impact on the way we edit or on future edits.
Templates
A number of visible changes have been made to our templates. Firstly, the way our templates have been linked together has changed. Previously, this was a small bar with single-letter links. This has been replaced by a light-coloured box contained within all our templates with fully-worded links, which provides links to relevant anatomy and medical templates. This should make life a lot easier, particularly for students and other readers who are struggling with the vastness of anatomical systems and their related diseases and treatments.
As part of this, almost all our templates have been reviewed and cleaned up. The previously confusing colour scheme has been removed and colour standardised. The titles have been simplified. References to "identifiers" in the titles of navigation boxes (such as Gray's Anatomy and Terminologia Anatomica numbers) have been removed. Where possible, the wiki-code of templates has been updated to give a cleaner, more standardised, format that is hopefully more friendly to new editors. The cleanup continues , please feel free to contribute or propose templates which need attention.
Anatomy infobox
Most of our articles have an infobox. Previously, there were 11 separate infoboxes for different fields, such as muscles, nerves and embryology. These have been united so that at the "back end", every template will take formatting directly from the main anatomy infobox -- however at the "front end", there is little difference for readers. This will make future changes much easier -- including adding new fields, formatting, and reordering the contents. Several changes have already been made: infoboxes now link to a relevant anatomical terminology article; contents are now divided into 'Identifiers' and 'Details' headings, making it easier to grasp content for new readers; and new fields have been added, including Greek and UBERON, with several more under discussion.
External links
An editor has reviewed all our template-based external links. These are the links that often fill the "External links" category, and sometimes used as citations. At least thirty different links sets, with the number of links stretching into the thousands, have been fixed, and if not functioning, deleted. A number of non-functioning dead links (with no archived websites available), and one or two others, have been deleted. This helps keep our 'external links' section relevant and functioning for those readers who want extra information about articles.
Wikidata
Perhaps our most important change has been integration with Wikidata. This is because of both its current uses and potential future uses. Wikidata is a service related to Wikipedia focusing on storing information. Data relating to a Wikipedia item (such as a muscle or bone, or even a template) can have related "structured" infomation stored systematically alongside it. For example, a muscle can have information about its embryological origin, nerve supply, and the relevant sections of Terminologica Anatomica (TA) stored alongside it. Much information that was stored within articles on infoboxes is now stored on Wikidata, including the TA, TH, and TE fields. An immediate benefit is that Wikipedias in every language will (as they update their own infoboxes, be able to automatically include this information. New data can be entered in a much easier format, and data can be batch entered by bots making future updates much easier Future uses include data visualisation. I personally am looking forward to the day when a reader can view a wikidata-based "tree", clicking mesoderm and seeing all of the derived structures, then selecting the intermediate mesoderm, then Pronephric duct, mesonephric duct and vas deferens. The possibilities of using Wikidata for data visualisation are really quite encouraging!
Our next issue will focus on how far WikiProject Anatomy has come in the past 2 years.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB.

WP:Anatomy newsletter (#5)
Hello WP:Anatomy participant! This is our fifth newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. There hasn't been too much worthy of news, and I have less time to dedicate to this project, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter.
I value feedback, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talk page, or remove your name from the mailing list
How far have we come since our first newsletter... the answer is quite a lot! Here goes:
These are substantial improvements and my thanks go out to our many editors who played a part in this. These improvements are almost always the result of consensus, compromise, collaboration and discussion between multiple editors.
I hope we can continue to improve in the future. How can you help? Continue to edit, add content, and create a welcoming atmosphere so that new editors will join us.
Well done to us all, and the many anonymous editors who've helped along the way!

Hello everyone, and sincere apologies if you're getting this message more than once. Just a heads-up that there is currently work on an extension in order to enable CSS styling in templates. Please check the document on mediawiki.org to discuss best storage methods and what we need to avoid with implementation. Thanks, m:User:Melamrawy (WMF), 09:11, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello there, I recently noticed that your tool Tidy citations.js apparently does not recognized dashed parameters (such as access-date, archive-url, archive-date). Do you think you could implement these? Cheers! Lordtobi ( ✉) 20:45, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is our sixth newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest.
I value feedback, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talk page, or remove your name from the mailing list.
Yours truly, -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 10:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
new good articles since last newsletter include Thyroid, Hypoglossal nerve, Axillary arch, Human brain, Cerebrospinal fluid, Accessory nerve, Gallbladder, and Interventricular foramina (neuroanatomy) | |
I write an Introduction to Anatomy on Wikipedia in the Journal of Anatomy [448] | |
Vagina receives a lot of attention on its way to good article status. | |
We reach two projects goals of 20 good articles, and less than half of our articles as stubs, in July 2017. [449] | |
A discussion about two preferred section titles takes place here. |
Seeing as we have so many new members, and a constant stream of new editors to our articles, I would like to write in this issue about how our project and articles are arranged.
The main page for WikiProject Anatomy is here. We are a WikiProject, which is a group of editors interested in editing and maintaining anatomy articles. Our editors come from all sorts of disciplines, from academically trained anatomists, students, and lay readers, to experienced Wikipedia editors. Based on previous discussions, members of our project have chosen to focus mainly on human anatomy ( [450]), with a separate project for animal anatomy ( WP:ANAN). A WikiProject has no specific rights or abilities on Wikipedia, however it does allow a central venue for discussion on different issues where interested editors can be asked to contribute, collaborate, and perhaps reach a consensus.
Wikipedia has about 5,500,000 articles. Of these, about 20,000 fall under our project, about 5,000 of which are text-containing articles. Articles are manually assigned by editors as relating to our project (many using the rater tool). As well as articles, other Wikipedia pages in our project include, lists, disambiguation pages, and redirects. Our articles are improving over time, and you can have a look at our goals and progress, or last newsletter, to get a better idea about this.
Our articles are structured according to the manual of style, specifically here. The manual of style is a guideline, which "is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply", and prescribes the layout of anatomy articles, most of which follow it.
Our articles are organised in a particular way. Most articles have a infobox in its lead, describing key characteristics about the article. Because we have so many articles, articles are often linked together in different ways. An article tends to focus on the primary topic it is written about. Further information can be linked like this, or piped ( like this). We use navboxes, which are the boxes at the bottom of articles providing links to similar topics, as well as hatnotes. Typical hatnotes in articles include {{ main}}, {{ see also}} and {{ further}}. This lets us link to relevant and related articles. The bottom of articles also shows categories, which store groups of related articles.
For interested editors, our project offers a number of additional tools to help edit our articles. On our main page appears a log of the most edited recent articles. An automatic list of recent changes to all our articles is here. We have a list of the most popular pages ( WP:ANAT500). To keep abreast of news and discussions, it is best to monitor our talk page, newsletters, and our article alerts, which automatically lists deletion, good article, featured article, and move proposals. We also have a open tasks page for editors to create lists of tasks that other editors can collaborate with. Articles are also manually assigned to a "discipline", so interested editors in for example, gross anatomy, histology, or embryology can easily locate articles via here.
Our project has all sorts of smaller items that editors may or may not know about, including a barnstar, user box ({{ User WPAnatomy}}), welcoming template ({{ WPANATOMY welcome}}) and fairly comprehensive listing of templates ( here).
We are always happy to help out, and I invite new editors, or for those with any questions relating to how to get around the confusing environment that is Wikipedia, to post on our talk page or, for a kind introduction to questions, at the WP:TEAHOUSE.

Special:Diff/1164854837 by User:Neveselbert (mobile) showed up on my watchlist. I think this "Harmonize whitespace" concept is a bad idea. It generates diffs (which I had to spend time examining to make sure it was OK) for no particular value. I'd prefer if people didn't do this. RoySmith (talk) 14:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
