[edit]Hi Ultraodan, I've just fixed a few tags you added in your generally positive copy edit of this page. You added citation needed, attribute and by whom tags to a particular section, which could be sourced to this article, named in the text quite clearly and very close to where the tags were added. I am grateful for the good work you do, but remember that it is much better to fix a problem than tag it. In situations like that it's worth just having a quick check to see if the citation/attribution might be provided easily from sources already linked.
Tags tend to have a very long lifespan unless placed on frequently visited pages, so a couple of extra minutes checking on articles can often result in a big net improvement to wikipedia. Boynamedsue (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Boynamedsue, thanks for pointing that out and fixing my mistake. I must have missed those, not too sure why. Ultraodan (talk) 08:51, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
