U.S. Route 52 in North Carolina ↗



Regarding this edit ↗, I reverted the effect of that edit by restoring those non-breaking spaces and adding some missing ones. The <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> code for a non-breaking space means that when you have <code>US&amp;nbsp;52</code>, that can't be separated by a line break. That means that we can't have the "US" appear at the end of one line and the "52" appear at the start of the next line, which can happen with <code>US 52</code>. A non-breaking space means that the combination has to appear together on a single line, which is preferred. Because our articles appear on a variety of screen sizes, from smart phones to wide computer monitors, with a variety of typeface sizes, we can't know when a specific instance of US&nbsp;52 will appear at the end of a line for any specific reader. <span style="background:#006B54; padding:2px;">'''<span style="color:white;">Imzadi&nbsp;1979</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:white;"><big>→</big></span>'''</span> 19:51, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Bulk removal of tagged WP:OR ↗



Hi, you seem to be making a lot of edits that are all the same: going through the list of articles with unsourced statements, then removing those statements. This is supported by one reading of policy here, but it's really not the best approach. If this super-simple strategy was all we needed to do, then we could have a 'bot do all of them in no time.

The problem is that this tag doesn't mean that the content is ''wrong'', or that it must be removed. It could well be correct, if so then it's probably a useful addition to the article, merely that we don't as yet have sourcing meeting WP:RS ↗ that supports it. Sometimes it doesn't even mean that much, it's just a tag that has been added deliberately and wrongly as the result of a disagreement. This is why WP needs human editors, to make ''editorial'' decisions. We don't just leave it to 'bots.

What is much ''better'' is to use some judgement on these articles. What is the content? Does it appear credible or unlikely? How much sourcing would be needed to support it? There's a saying here, "WP:extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources ↗", but equally, ''simple'' claims don't need sourcing more than the simple. Instead of removing the text, could you instead make it better by ''adding the sources requested'' instead? Here's one: Basting (cooking) ↗. A really simple statement, only tagged in the last few days, and cookbooks are hardly hard to find to confirm this. Similarly APS ↗ - sure, it's twenty years ago, which is a paper-based era when few of us still keep the magazines around, but that doesn't mean it's unsourceable.

Your blanket deletions, across every topic, are 'justified' by policy here and no doubt you will see that as an excuse. But it's still not a good reason for it, and editing to ''improve'' things instead could be so much better. I hope you will consider this, thanks. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:01, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks. I've stopped. Feel free to revert any of my edits. Autspectorder (talk) 19:37, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Images for Plant ↗



Hi, you recently made ab edits to this article saying it was an adjustment. It was not. You made an unexplained change for the worse in the format, and deleted two specially selected images which added visual clarity to the article with detailed captions. That was straightforwardly a damaging edit, however well-meant. I'd be clearly grateful if you' leave the article alone, or at least discuss what you think needs to be done. It's always impossible to please everyone, but it's a carefully constructed article and I've give a lot of thought to the images; any changes will require at least equal care to make the article better rather than worse.
