NASA GAR

hi Pauli133, I just wanted to let you know that the main NASA ↗ article is undergoing a Good Article Review ↗. Most of the gruntwork is done now, and the article could use a fresh set of eyes to copy edit it, add more materiel, and offer suggestions and feedback. If you have a chance, I would appreciate it if you could take a look. Thanks!<br/>— <span class="texhtml"><i>V</i> = <i>I</i> * <i>R</i></span> (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

:Nice work so far, thank you for chipping in. Keep it up, if you have the chance!<br/>— <span class="texhtml"><i>V</i> = <i>I</i> * <i>R</i></span> (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: The-N ↗

Why did you undo my edit? I removed the content because it's unsourced and the article required clean-up anyways. --70.121.35.167 ↗ (talk) 14:26, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
:because you're an ip address, you blanked a section, and you didn't leave an edit summary. i'm not real good at leaving edit summaries myself, but something like that DOES require some explanation, especially when you see how it pops up in recent changes. pauli133 (talk) 14:52, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
::For your information, there should be no "conditional" or "specialized" treatment toward me because I'm not a registered editor; there is no difference between the the two. While I probably should of left an edit summary, I did not because the article is in need of clean-up, as tagged on the article itself, and the section had no sources, which is visible even if you are reverting on a tool. Be careful and more observant next time. --70.121.35.167 ↗ (talk) 00:02, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Please use preview

25px ↗Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia{{#if:Loch Ness Monster|. Regarding your edit(s) to :Loch Ness Monster ↗|. In the future}}, it is recommended that you use the preview ↗ button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflict ↗s, and prevents clogging up recent changes ↗ and the page history ↗. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}}  Adambro (talk) 13:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Spacing between sentences

I see tha you removed all my double spaces between sentences at The Fortune Hunter ↗. Why did you do that? It is perfectly alright to have double spaces between sentences in Wikipedia articles, and I prefer it, as it helps me find each sentence when I am editing. Since I will be editing this article in the future, and you will not, it seems to me rude for you to delete these spaces. Please stop doing this to other editors, unless the article is an article on which you have done most of the work. Thanks. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Layout of references

Hi, Pauli. I agree that horizontal layout of references is more preferable, particularly in case of stable articles. However, in case of active editing or poorly formatted references, it would be easier to make edits or format references if the vertical layout is used. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 21:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Redlinks aren't errors

This ↗ wasn't a particularly helpful edit. {{tl|convert}} is useful, but stripping whitespace so that the reference templates are made unreadable and hard to maintain isn't, nor was removing redlinks. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

WP Cryptozoology in the ''Signpost''

"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Cryptozoology for a ''Signpost'' article to be published this month. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview ↗. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Also, if you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 16:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion ↗). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is '''a workaround available ↗''' involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR ↗). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dwayne ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dwain ↗ and Dwaine ↗. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:01, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

handball pages

the flags weren't displaying properly and removing the slash seemed to correct the issue, but since you added the slash back, the flags are still displayed correctly. I'm not sure what the issue was. It might have only been on my end. Day801 (talk) 00:35, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Ref error

Hi there, just wanted to draw your attention to a formatting error caused by your recent changes to ARA Uruguay ↗. It's under "First scientific expedition". I would fix it myself, but I'm not sure which of those references you meant to attach to the quote. When you have a moment, would you mind taking a look? Thank you! Jessicapierce (talk) 14:27, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
:all fixed - I should have caught that previously, sorry! pauli133 (talk) 14:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Ublist and sorting

Hello. You recently made this edit ↗ to replace use of {{tlx|ublist}} with <nowiki><br></nowiki>s with edit summary "<nowiki>can't use {{ubl}} inside {{sort}}</nowiki>". The article uses ublist rather than line breaks for accessibility reasons per MOS:VLIST ↗, and the sorting did work correctly on that article.

Please could you explain why it shouldn't be used inside the sort template, or point me to advice/explanation/usage notes somewhere. Thanks, Struway2 (talk) 11:37, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
:So, what's happening is that when {{tlx|ubl}} is inside {{tlx|sort}} (at least in the manner it's being used in these particular articles), it's generating a div-span-flip error ↗ and ending up on Lint errors: Miscellaneous Tidy replacement issues ↗. I see where you're going with the accessibility thing, and that's cool - the thing to do now is find syntax that doesn't cause problems on either end.
: In this particular case, separating the values with commas might work? May not be as tidy in terms of columns, though. pauli133 (talk) 11:54, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
::If the ublist was just moved out of the sort template, e.g. instead of
:::<nowiki>{{sort|1901–1913|{{ublist|1901–1909|1912–1913|list_style=text-align:center}}}}</nowiki>
::having
:::<nowiki>{{sort|1901–1913|}}{{ublist|1901–1909|1912–1913|list_style=text-align:center}}</nowiki>
::would that stop the error occurring? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:05, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

:::I think so. {{tl|ubl}} on its own is generally fine, it only causes issues when nested inside another template that can't cope with the rows. I'm not very familiar with how {{tl|sort}} is supposed to behave, but if that will generate the proper output, it should solve the issue all round. pauli133 (talk) 12:09, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
::::It seems to generate the proper visible output, so I'll do that. Hope they don't reappear on your to-do list... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:26, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Short footnotes

Hi, it took me a while to figure out short footnotes so I thought I would let you know you were very close in your edit on Cornelia Rau ↗ - the template:sfn ↗ works off the harvard system where the ID is taken from the author and year fields. To use a custom ID, such as <nowiki>"{{sfn|Four Corners transcript}}"</nowiki> the citation needs to be "ref=CITEREFFour Corners transcript". Cheers Find bruce (talk) 00:17, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
:aha, thank you! It's a rather illusive bit of syntax to nail down, and I've run into trouble before when wandering away from the standard ref=harv stuff. I'll keep this in mind for next time. pauli133 (talk) 00:47, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
::Yep, been there, drove me nuts until I figured it out. Feel free to ping me if you get stuck. Find bruce (talk) 10:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Inadvertently getting into the middle of edit wars

Hey Pauli,

First off - you're doing great work, and thanks for all the improvements. I'd like to ask one little thing, though, that if you could pay attention to would make things even better: stay away from edit wars! By which I mean - if you see others engaged in an edit war (eg. in Collaboration in German-occupied Poland ↗), wait with your improvements until they're finished. The way Wikipedia diff ↗s pages, you can't filter out small changes like some of yours, so trying two compare two "major" revisions results in a "diff" littered with small template and linguistic changes that you have to skim through while looking for the controversial bits. So if you can wait a bit when these things happen (as far as you can tell) that would be excellent.

And for your good services, a cracker ↗. François Robere (talk) 10:55, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Math

Please do not "fix" mathematical formulas by breaking their meaning, as you did in this change ↗ to Fano plane ↗. In this instance, <math>n_3</math> was correct, and ''n3'' is both bad mathematical typesetting (the digits in a formula should never be italic) and mathematically meaningless. If you want to avoid using the {{tl|math}} template family in citation titles, a better way would be to use <nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki>. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
:Going through your earlier contributions, I see that your earlier "fix" to monoid ↗ was also bad. By removing the template you made the variable become Roman (the italic signs surrounding it were negated by the italicization of the rest of the title) when it should have remained italic. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:48, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
::If you've got formatting that comes out the way you want and doesn't generate lint errors, please, by all means, use it. That's usually the extent of my interest, and I'm learning as I go, just like everybody else here. pauli133 (talk) 01:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the page on the Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad

Hi, Pauli. Thank you for working on the citations at Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad ↗. I am currently working on an updated draft of the article at User:Tamravidhir/sandbox2. It has content directly copied from the page in the main-space. Will be really thankful if you could look into the citations in the draft in my sandbox. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you! --<span style="font-family:Segoe Print;"><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#FF0000;Segoe Print">Tamra</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#000000">vidhir</span> (talk)</span> 17:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
:Sure, I'll be happy to take a look later on. If you've got a new draft that's going to be integrated into the current article, then that's definitely the place to be working - no point duplicating the work copying things back and forth. pauli133 (talk) 18:02, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
:At first perusal, it looks good. I take it that you're cutting back on poor/tenuous/questionable sources. Can the things attributed to royalark.net be traced back to more scholarly cites? I see that it has some bibliography. pauli133 (talk) 20:38, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Pauli.

I see that you are the last person to edit the Carson Beach, South Boston page before I added some brief history. I just wanted to reach out and thank you for your contribution. Even though you added your information a while ago, if you have time to look on the new content that I posted that would be awesome. Thanks!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In ↗, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page ↗ and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Copa Rio

Hello Pauli,
I modified the note 4 because the Intercontinental Cup was written in lower case, but now it appears as a reference and not as a note ... unfortunately I don't know how to create a note :-)
--188.153.148.9 ↗ (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:Good catch on the capitalization! I've switched the format back to a note. If you want to learn the syntax for notes (they're pretty easy, really, but there's a LOT of powerful stuff available too), I found the best place to start was the template:efn ↗ documentation. And, conveniently, you've now got a diff in the Copa Rio history to compare. pauli133 (talk) 17:57, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your work to fix lint errors

Thank you for your work to fix lint errors. In some cases, it would be nice to have an edit summary, for example:

Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer ↗: {{diff|Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer|prev|929832984|your edit}} summary: (blank)

Here is some of my recent work to fix lint errors:

Montenegrins of Serbia ↗: {{diff|Montenegrins of Serbia|prev|929772654|my edit}} summary: <nowiki>{{smaller|}} can't wrap {{hlist}}</nowiki>

::Documenting edits helps create awareness and encourages other editors to make similar fixes and not to make such errors in the first place. That's why I generally provide detailed edit summaries listing every change I made. —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:39, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

White Huns

Hello Pauli133 - I'd like your opinion about the White Huns ↗ article after your recent edit. It's marked as a disambiguation page, but the article doesn't list "articles associated with the title White Huns" as the <nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki> implies. I think it should be converted to become a stub, and I would also mark it as unreferenced. What do you think? '''<span style="color: #880088;">PK</span><span style="color: #449900;">T<small>(alk)</small></span>''' 11:27, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
:That sounds sensible to me. I'd also noticed that it was a disambiguation page, which seemed very strange: I think most readers are going there for "who WERE the White Huns?" reasons, not "oh yeah, I typed that as shorthand for this other group." Go for it! pauli133 (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
:: {{done}} I added categories to the article and WikiProject banners to the talk page - if any of them are off-base, please change as appropriate. Thanks very much! ......'''<span style="color: #880088;">PK</span><span style="color: #449900;">T<small>(alk)</small></span>''' 19:28, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

List of Private Passions episodes, 2015-2019 ↗ moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Private Passions episodes, 2015-2019 ↗, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline ↗ and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Adding deluxe section on Eminem discography page

Hey @pauli. Can we add a sperate deluxe edition table on the em page like uzi and other artists. I think it would we worth it since a lot of his albums has them.

Thanks Rsbor (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Interlinear indent

Wait, so "indent" refers to an indent ''before'' the template? Not an indent ''within'' the words of the template? --Eievie (talk) 16:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
:In {{tl|interlinear}}, {{code|{{!}}indent}} changes the location of the block of text. What seems to work best, from my (limited!) experience, is to set {{code|{{!}}indent{{=}}4}} if there's no {{code|{{!}}number}}, and skip it if there is a {{code|{{!}}number}}. Examples:
{{code|<nowiki>{{interlinear}}</nowiki>}} yields
{{interlinear
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum}}

{{code|<nowiki>{{interlinear|indent=4}}</nowiki>}} yields
{{interlinear|indent=4
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum}}

{{code|<nowiki>{{interlinear|number=1}}</nowiki>}} yields
{{interlinear|number=1
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum
|Lorem Ipsum}}

{{code|<nowiki>{{interlinear|number=2|indent=4}}</nowiki>}} yields
{{interlinear
| number = 2
| indent = 4|Lorem Ipsum|Lorem Ipsum|Lorem Ipsum
}}

{{code|<nowiki>{{interlinear|number=3|indent=0}}</nowiki>}} yields an especially ugly
{{interlinear
| number = 3
| indent = 0|Lorem Ipsum|Lorem Ipsum|Lorem Ipsum
}}

{{code|<nowiki>:{{interlinear}}</nowiki>}} will give something like |indent=2 or 3, but will ''also'' generate invalid HTML5, aka lint errors (which is why @Jonesey95 and I notice it). Does that help? pauli133 (talk) 16:56, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States

Hello Pauli133. In case you weren't aware, the edit yesterday ↗ to :Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States ↗ has duplicate arguments "y7" and "y7Title", for North Carolina and Ohio. This is why the NC stats aren't showing in "> 2,000,000 positive test individuals". Tried to fix the duplicate myself, but backed away since I haven't got the data in front of me, and don't want to break the chart. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 10:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

:Good catch! All fixed now. I'm used to the charts blowing up entirely if something like that happens - surprised that it didn't. Thanks for letting me know! pauli133 (talk) 12:43, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
::You're warmly welcome. I'm deeply grateful for the work of you, Rider0101, and other editors, updating and maintaining one of the most important articles on Wikipedia at the moment.
::But credit where due: I was only able to spot the duplicate using the excellent script User:Frietjes/findargdups. It's not just for emptying the maintenance category - when it's installed, it displays warnings of duplicate arguments in the edit preview. I get those warnings in preview just a little too often lately... :-D Storchy (talk) 13:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
