Disambiguation link notification for July 24
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Ultras of North America, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sierra Nevada. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Incomplete RFD nominations
[edit]Hi, I noticed that you tagged about 17 redirects with WP:Redirects for discussion tags but haven't completed step II or III from WP:RFDHOWTO. Were you planning to complete the nominations, including with rationales? I picked two at random, Dianolepis and Hunanolepis and both seem like plausible redirects, for what it's worth. Thanks! Skynxnex (talk) 17:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ha, I thought I had checked before actually commenting here but I see you have added to the RFD page Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 10 § Redirects to Antiarchi, so you can ignore the above. ;) Happy editing! Skynxnex (talk) 17:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nominating that many redirects takes time. Lophotrochozoa (talk) 18:03, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yep! Above was a reminder since I've seen people forget to do the final steps at RFD and other editors reverting the tagging of the article(s). Skynxnex (talk) 18:10, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh (talk) 10:06, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Hey man im josh: I assume that this refers to this post on Talk:2024 Summer Olympics medal table. I'll try to keep it in mind. I would still like if you explained your revert of my edit to that article. Lophotrochozoa (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

<ref> tags
[edit]Hello! I noticed that in your recent edit to 4000 (number), you added references using <ref>
tags but closed (marked the end of) the reference with another <ref>
tag. Instead of ending the reference, this just makes the page think you are trying to start another referece within that one (which it doesn't let you do for weird technical reasons) and leaves an error. Instead, please write references like Text being cited.<ref>Citation (might be one or more templates)</ref>
(notice the slash (/) in the ending <ref>
tag). Thank you for referencing your edits, and happy editing! – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 12:44, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]What the hell? He thinks BRD doesn't apply to him? He gets reverted by both an IP and me and he thinks we must be the same? I've about had it with him...he CANNOT accept anything other than his way, and immediately pbp 19:38, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar |
Thanks for gently pointing out that I had misread the topic on Vital Articles! I appreciate that, I've been burning the candle at both ends trying to get some IRL writing/work done, and slips like that are frustratingly common as I'm falling into the habit of skimming things. Again, thanks for the help! GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 04:46, 27 May 2025 (UTC) |
Modern African writers
[edit]You forgot to sort that section out. Just wanted to let you know. Bluevestman (talk) 19:44, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Also isn't it inconsistent to list bands by their debut dates and not by the oldest member's DOB? Bluevestman (talk) 22:40, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for reminding me about the African writers. I listed bands and some other pop musicians by debut because it is often hard to define who the dominant member is. Also I think debut is a theoretically better way to order than birth; the reason we usually list by birthdate is that the debute is often hard to define, hard to know or not clear from the Wikipdia article or at least take more work to read from the Wikipedia article. Lophotrochozoa (talk) 23:01, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Wait, you're reorganizing the popular musicians sections based when they debut? I understand you basing the bands off of that (even if it's kind of contradictory to how you're sorting comedic groups like the Marx Brothers and Monty Python), but that is too inconsistent with the rest of the list. Bluevestman (talk) 23:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Also, I don't really buy the idea that you can't sort the bands by DOBs of its members. Only Black Sabbath and The Supremes have a Yes-level mess of a line-up (and even then those two were basically stable when they were actually vital). Bluevestman (talk) 01:33, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you just not finished yet, but please organize the popular musician section by their date of birth, especially when it comes for the solo artists. It just sticks out like a sore thumb to have Elvis Presley (1935) come before Chuck Berry (1926) just because the rock subsection has bands listed and you didn't know how to approach that. And it really does feel like the debut dates are a cop out, because why isn't the actors and modern writers organized like that? Bluevestman (talk) 05:09, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'm going to bed. I really do not want to come off as pestering, but my original opposition to the actors getting reorganized chronologically was that it was basically the only section like that for while. So I really do not like how you decided on a whim to organize popular musicians based on their debut year when you didn't do that for other sections.
- Just to not be a jerk, I'm going to list the members of these bands plus their DOBs you to help you. Bold member indicates a member who is vital in their own right, italic band indicates a band who never had any other members besides the ones listed.

Great job sorting the People on Vital articles. Although this is a half barnstar, it should be a barnstar divided into 4 equal parts. Interstellarity (talk) 21:11, 5 June 2025 (UTC) |
