Evidences of Helston Port



Coming in to edit at this point was probably because you noticed that I deleted my reason for editing as to the boats only being only being able to sail between Lowertown and Loe Pool in Defoe's time. That comment had to be deleted, due to the facts being wrong - the 18 inch mooring ring was actually on the hook that was inserted into the mediaeval wall behind the Victorian cottages and to the left of Castle Hill, and disintigrated from its age around 50 to 60 years ago, but was the most conspicuous evidence of a relic of the port, in contrast to the seven harbour mooring rings seen to the right of the 'Pay Here' sign on the inside of the carpark wall which bounds St. Johns lane in Helston. It is the lack of awareness on the part of geomorphologists of the six to seven metre depth of silt build-up from the double valley mines, over six centuries, that gave them the false evidence to dispute the post 1014 CE existence of Helston port (transferred to Gweek around 1260 AD and from thence to Porthleven in 1825).

Note



I see you were using AWB to make Kiev -> Kyiv changes, but the consensus ↗ is not to change this in historical topics.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1030&diff=prev&oldid=1266097507 ↗https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Sevastopol_(1941%E2%80%931942)&diff=prev&oldid=1269283994 ↗https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=988&diff=prev&oldid=1266100723 ↗ Please be more careful.

Dirty Laundry sound file



A user who is now blocked has replaced the sound file for Dirty Laundry (Don Henley song) ↗ with a garbled version. Would you be able to upload it again? Danaphile (talk) 12:38, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Red links



With this edit ↗ you removed a number of red links (and, importantly, a valid blue link) from {{lt|Washington}}. I've gone ahead and reverted those changes. Please see how to handle red links at WP:REDDEAL ↗, or view the entire guideline at WP:REDLINK ↗. State agencies are generally notable, and red links help editors with figuring out where they should devote their time to on Wikipedia. Removing red links makes it difficult for editors to focus on topics that may need attention. —Locke Cole • t • c ↗ 17:47, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. <small>Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily.</small> <span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span> (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

20px ↗ Featured script


: '''WikiTextExpander''' by '''Polygnotus ↗''', is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? ↗ problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext ↗" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

"Publisher" versus "website""



Hi Dawnseeker2000. Thanks for fixing Thelma McKenzie ↗ per MOS:GEOLINK ↗. In the same edit ↗ you changed a few instances of "website" to "publisher". Could you explain why? Template:Cite web ↗ states: "Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a ''website'', book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.)" and " Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper, so there is no reason to name the publisher)". Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 00:20, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:Hi there,{{pb}}I make a distinction between websites that have a known publisher (like ''The Daily Telegraph'' and Telegraph Media Group). They're usually legacy media (pre Internet). Many new media websites don't have per-existing relationships like that. Some are self published; some just have parent companies; some are just business divisions. I don't italicize those. <span style="font-variant: small-caps">''Dawnseeker2000''</span> 01:56, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::Okay, but per the documentation at Template:Cite shouldn't the "website" parameter be used for websites like "ESPNcricinfo" or "CricketArchive" instead of "publisher"? In other words: if there is no publisher, "website" is the parameter to use, that is how I read the quotes I cited above. Robby.is.on (talk) 12:51, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

I think we might've just had an edit conflict thing



I can't remember the name of the issue, but basically I think we were editing at the same time. Can you check your changes went through properly? I may have accidentally removed them without realising as I've never had this happen before.
