Don't assume people are a particular nationality just because of the place of birth. That's particularly relevant in the UK, where many will describe themselves as either British or one of their constituent nations - and there's no rhyme or reason as to that choice. Unless the subject has made a definitive statement on the point, just leave the status quo as it is. It's not something you can pigeonhole people with, so all those categories you've changed are now probably wrong. - SchroCat ( talk) 18:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
There is no categorical preference between describing a person as British rather than as English, Scottish, or Welsh. Decisions on which label to use should be determined through discussions and consensus. The label must not be changed arbitrarily. To come to a consensus, editors should consider how reliable sources refer to the subject, particularly UK reliable sources, and consider whether the subject has a preference on which nationality by which they identify.

Hi QuietHere, I just wanted to let you know that I removed the rcat you added to this category redirect, as the docs for {{ R from alternative spelling}} say that it shouldn't be used on soft redirects.

This is a documentation subpage) in the documentation - "This template should not be...used to tag soft redirects". WP:REDCAT § When to categorize a redirect also says that soft-redirects shouldn't be tagged with rcats, with the exception (for categories) of {{ R category with possibilities}}.

QuietHere, you reverted an edit I made on Letter to Yu, where the original genre listing was shown as synthpop, but I converted it to match the genre article listing of synth-pop. I do not understand your reversion, as one is a misspelling and the other was the correct spelling, as shown by matching the article, Synth-pop. There was debate at the synth-pop article talk page about whether it should be synthpop or synth-pop, see Talk:Synth-pop/Archive 3#Requested move 19 February 2017, and it landed on naming the article synth-pop. Therefore, every time I see a misapplied synthpop, I correct it to synth-pop. I will probably be reverting your reversion at Letter to Yu, but I will pause to allow a discussion or debate why it should not be corrected. Mburrell ( talk) 10:42, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Should in most cases be the most important value, because it's the rowheader [1]. That is not the year, which is less important than the title of the single. There is obviously no hard and fast rule about how to layout discography tables, but the title takes precedence over the year because it's a section about which singles were released, not when they were released. I know you think you do, but you do not need to take issue with literally almost every formatting-related edit I make to an article you have contributed to or created.

WP:3RR. Stop reverting. Stop being condescending in your edit summaries. Oh and juust because something has been done a certain way for a period of time doesn't mean it always have to be that way. Things can change. Plus, you never directed to any discussion where consensus was reached. Mr. C.C. Hey yo! I didn't do it! 12:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, you added "This article uses they for consistency." to the refs but the page uses she and they pronouns interchangeably. Is this an oversight or am I missing something? Thanks. Estiblue ( talk) 22:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Do you know exactly where more citations are needed for Vended, why it looks like an ad, and how it needs cleanup? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 14:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi QuietHere, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Muboshgu ( talk) 19:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I saw your suggestion to me on the Super Magick page to add citations to info, which is fine. I don’t usually see citations in infoboxes, so I left them out. As there are only two citations on the page, I think it’d be a cool move to check those references for data suspected to not be sourced rather than removing the data as unsourced or suggesting someone’s making it up. It’s totally cool if you don’t want to do that, but I think in that case, it’s maybe more friendly to use the talk page to hash out a plan than to just remove data that you don’t want to verify in citations already present on the page. I appreciate you taking the time to sort that out, though! Louie Mantia ( talk) 10:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ QuietHere. Take a look for which one you prefer at the "Release history" table: "Distributor", "Licensee", "Marketer" or "Promoter". 183.171.122.169 ( talk) 17:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
