Hi @ExclusiveEditor, sorry about that! I misread some external sources and shouldn't have reverted that user's edits. I'll be more careful next time. Smallangryplanet (talk) 18:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's okay as editors are humans too, and we make mistake. Hope you enjoy editing. ExclusiveEditor Notify Me! ExclusiveEditor 10:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Steyr HS .50 / HS .460, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaza. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

When not to use cite web

edit

In this edit to Bangladesh Air Force you switched a citation from {{cite news}} to {{cite web}}. According to Template:Cite web/doc, cite web is sort of a citation template of last resort, to be used only if no more specific citation template applies. The Business Standard is a newspaper. So the correct way to cite it is with cite news, which is for all news articles, whether you read them in print or online. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Worldbruce-- that's my bad, I didn't mean to commit that change, thanks for the note and will try to avoid any further repetitions! :) Smallangryplanet (talk) 17:20, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Applied Nanoscience

edit

Hi there, I'm getting in touch with you for the recent edit. The original article was written in a way to defame the entity. The user who originally wrote that section was found to violate Wikipedia guidelines on numerous occasions if you'd see. Impact factor or indexing isn't a matter of controversy. Web of Science regularly adds and removes journals if they do not adhere to their quality guidelines. The removal from Web of Science means that the quality has gone down. A journal can either have an impact factor or not be indexed. There's no term called discontinued. It is similar to call a restaurant as Michilen Discontinued. Which doesn't make any sense. Web of Science doesn't specify why the journal won't be indexed for that year. So calling the indexing a controversy is a bit strange. Ozk7654 (talk) 14:39, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. The user's guidelines violations seem unrelated to the article in question (they seem to have misunderstood a standard template as an attack) and I see other, similar edits by that user that are still present in the relevant articles. I'm a recent changes patroller so I don't have any particular connection to Applied Nanoscience, but for controversial edits I would recommend creating a topic on the article's talk page so that people who are invested in/knowledgeable about the topic can chime in. Does that sorta make sense? @Ozk7654 Smallangryplanet (talk) 15:25, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
At least for now I'm removing the wrong information on "Discontinued" and that Impact was not released in 2024. The re-indexed values will only come after 3 years and not consequently which is incorrectly stated in the article. Ozk7654 (talk) 17:36, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ozk7654 can you post a topic about that on the talk page, please? Not my talk page :) Smallangryplanet (talk) 17:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Marking edits as minor

edit

Please don't mark non-minor edits as minor, as you did here; it makes it harder for other editors to review your contributions. BilledMammal (talk) 14:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@BilledMammal sorry, that was a mis-click on my part, I've been doing a lot of citation improvements and CS1 fixes recently so it's habit... Won't happen again. Smallangryplanet (talk) 14:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
All good, not a big deal - thank you. BilledMammal (talk) 14:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Doctor Who Planet of Evil

edit

I have just watched episode four and noted the quite deliberate reference to Oates' final words. The doctor's words are on the DVD, and Oates' words are on his wikipedia page, which I linked. How do you want me to reference the DVD? The other quote, about Shakespeare, is also a referencing a wikipedia page. Not sure what the problem is. The doctor says he met Shakespeare, but when he does meet Shakespeare, there is no reference to a previous meeting. Again, it's all on the DVDs. You have left behind the earlier quote, about Romeo and Juliet. What's the difference between this clause and mine? 2A00:23C8:3B00:BB01:B51E:F546:F9A5:B3A8 (talk) 20:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not editing the whole page, I'm a recent changes patroller so I look for things that are uncited or in a worse case vandalism. Ideally if the quote is incorrect there should be a WP:RELIABLE source somewhere explaining it... or you can use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_AV_media to cite the DVD itself.
