Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:07, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
I can see that the dates should be in the US format, but I don't see why you have changed the parameter name "work" to its alias "newspaper" in the instances of {{ cite news}}. What justification is there for those changes? Thanks. Pam D 06:30, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I appreciate the massive amount of time you must have spent trying to make improvements to this article (that I entirely researched and wrote). I guess the links to newspapers.com enable all people to read the article without having to have a subscription, which is good. I just have one concern - the several links that I checked only seem to have a link to the first page of the article, unless I just don't know how to access the second page. Most articles indeed have a second page somewhere further back in the paper and often a lot of the info in the wikipedia article may be from there, not the first page. Also, I had listed the newspaper as the author because that way people can very easily see which newspapers are sourced at the start of the reference as some people give precedence to certain papers. Lastly, the reason I had the refrerence numbers out of order is because sometimes the info in the first part of the sentence was from a higher numbered reference but I wanted to imply it matched with the first part of the sentence. I preferred to have academic-length sentences for the most part as opposed to short ones with only once piece of info and just one reference. I'd appreciate hearing back about the second page of an article issue. On the others, I guess the way you have ordered things is the way it will stay as I am not a huge detail person like you are.

If you are bored, feel free to go over to the second article I wrote and do your newspaper clipping thing. Someone else rewrote the citations in the same style as you but did not did cut out the clippings like you had done. Its just too much work/detail for me to get into. The article is 1971 Great Lakes Blizzard. Eastern Cougar ( talk) 23:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Nick Number, coming across this edit, just wanted to inform you there is a Category:Charles Butler (NYU) now on commons, in case you might wish to alter the image. Cheers. Lotje ( talk) 08:06, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Sir Hello Nick Number, since you edited the page, just wanted to inform you I came across this portrait and I am pretty sure this Sir Henry Moore:-) Lotje ( talk) 07:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Hey. Long time!! I am travelling in South America. This morning, on day 6 of my trip, I tested positive. I may be locked in a hotel room for a few days. Last night I was at a show where " Cielito Lindo" was played. I did not know the name of the song, but I figured the Ay yi yi yi song might get me somewhere. I ended up at " Limerick (song)". I am quite sure I have gone too far in hatnoting a remedy. I think maybe some other redirects should exist related to this issue though.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:16, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for this image. I've known Heilman's piano trio for years, now - it's one of the finest pieces of American chamber music I know. It frustrates me no end how little information there is about him out there - at least I can now put a face to the name. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Since you seem to understand the technical side of WP, far, far better than I do, can you help me with a link from Ebsco host? Please understand I am probably incapable of explaining this sufficiently, but I will try. If you go to the WP library and look up "A Nursing Legend: Admiral Josephine T. Waconda, BSN, CFNP Assistant Surgeon General February 1935-January 2013" in the search bar at the top, the first result is to the article I need "A Nursing Legend" by Fran A'Hern Smith. However, the link https://wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/login?auth=production&url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ccm&AN=86176810&site=eds-live&scope=site has a proxy address and I cannot figure out a work around. The accession number, 86176810, if put into the template {{ Ebsco}}, takes you to this page, showing it isn't found. How the heck do I use a link in a citation in my draft to get to the article?

This is just a note of appreciation for the tips -- and especially the javascript bookmark -- that you posted on March 7, 2023, in Wikipedia talk:Newspapers.com#issue converting clipping to citation.
After my subscription to Newspapers.com expired in December 2023, I found a link to that section that I had saved in my files, created the bookmark, and followed the steps you listed. I was amazed at how smooth that made the transition from having my own subscription to using the Wikipedia Library for access and creating clippings. Now I use your bookmark daily on my desktop computer, laptop computer, or both.
Thanks for your simplification of what otherwise would have been a tedious process! Eddie Blick ( talk) 03:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Well, it's been a little while since you posted Talk:Solange § Primary topic?, but FWIW, I strongly agree. I'm actually unfamiliar with the Saint, which I have a feeling I ought to feel a bit embarassed about. Do you feel like following up now? - 89.183.221.75 ( talk) 22:53, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
