I have this page on my watchlist, so I have noticed your work. Thanks! This is exactly the type of edit that is needed for this page. It appears that you know what you are doing, so I doubt that you need the above "welcome" entry, but it's traditional to start an empty user's talk page with this entry. Your edit history qualifies you as a WP:wikignome, if you choos to self-identify as such. This is one of the most important classes of wiki editor. If, for any reason, you wish to discuss your edits (or anything else) with someone, feel free to contact me via my talk page. I have no more (or less) authority than you or any other editor, but I've been here for awhile. YOu may want to create at least a minimal user page to describe why you are here and what you want to accomplish, but it is certainly not mandatory.

Thanks, Arch dude! Because of you I've made a page about myself and my goals. Now that Orders of magnitude (mass) is fairly reliable, I may work on more pages in Category:Orders of magnitude. But those pages vary somewhat in their formatting, so I'd like to see more consistency in style. There ought to be a discussion about unifying the style of all these pages. How can I find out where that discussion would go? Mynameisnoted ( talk) 07:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Both "cite journal" and "cite doi" allow addition of extra parameters like url link, just add "|url=" - there is no need to change between citation types. While "cite journal" clutters the article code with details, code-breaking misprints are more difficult to locate in "cite doi". Cheers. Materialscientist ( talk) 22:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
I am only a novice editor, but it seems to me that "cite doi" has one nice feature that "cite journal" does not: if more than one page uses "cite doi", they all benefit from the "|url=" that I add to the "Template:Cite doi/". Can you give me more details on what you mean by "code-breaking misprints"? That would help me understand the tradeoffs in using "cite doi". If wikipedia has a guideline discussing these issues, I'd love to learn more about this. Mynameisnoted ( talk) 00:15, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

) and then reuse them with different page numbers (which are added as a parameter to the template, like {{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd|page=386}}). There is a chance that someone uses the same doi in "cite doi" in another article, and that article keeps another style (author names, etc.), but this is very rare. Vandalism to the "cite doi" templates can be reduced by removing its "edit" button. To sum up - many citation styles have their pros and cons, and maybe this is why they are all tolerated :-).

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
the voting page. For the Election committee,
