Re:
[edit]I fail to see how a neutrally worded message about a COI edit is 'inappropriate behaviour' [1]
I probably should have made it more precise/obvious which part of the edit was at issue.
If you wish to caution me for that go ahead, but I'm not able to see an issue to work on there. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:44, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- If you can't see how chilling such a message can be for a young woman early in her editing career, then I really cannot help you. Schwede66 03:47, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Fetchwikidata=all
[edit]I haven't been using that Fetchwikidata=all for a couple of reasons - with separate calls for each statement it easier for me to remove unwanted ones e.g. a birthdate for a living person from the infobox when I can't find a source for it and the statement on Wikidata is unreferenced. I also find that if there are graduate students then someone will inevitably come along and remove the Wikidata statement because only notable grad students are allowed to be listed. Using separate Wikidata pulls means I can see who is notable among a long list of students and then add just the notable ones directly. DrThneed (talk) 20:25, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- I see. Just revert my edit, DrThneed. You can exclude parameters, which solves the problem unreferenced dates, but that doesn’t work for non-notable students. Or can you exclude the student parameter as well and then list the notable ones separately? Schwede66 22:33, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Pleasure Garden (painting)
[edit]
On 12 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pleasure Garden (painting), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that controversy ensued when the painting Pleasure Garden was offered to the Robert McDougall Art Gallery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pleasure Garden (painting). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pleasure Garden (painting)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Typing too fast?
[edit]I said:
- Oh dear, do you think you could use the correct spelling of "governors", rather than "govenors"? The achilles heel of Wikipedia is people can't read, yes? Shenme (talk) 00:53, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
You said:
- "(no need to imply that other editors are idiots)"
Read it again. There were three instances of the same word in one paragraph. But one was misspelled. How does that happen? Idiocy might be all were misspelled. It is obvious that people here type too fast, and then don't check what they type. They don't take care in what they do. That's not idiocy, that's incompetence. When people can't type *and* they can't read, is that in any way acceptable to you? I'm consistently finding quotes where people can't even copy printed text accurately into articles. I'm consistently finding text where goofs are several years old. It is a basic flaw in the workings here that competence is not seen as a worthy goal. Or am I mis-hearing your apologia for "who cares about that?" Shenme (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- I’m afraid that with your combative attitude, your Wikipedia career might not be a longterm arrangement. Schwede66 04:39, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Whitespace
[edit]The whitespace is harmless. See [2] for "harmless" and Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know/Archive_202#PSHAW_and_blank_space for where it might come from. —Kusma (talk) 02:40, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Good to know; thanks for informing me, Kusma. I didn't see that discussion a month ago. Schwede66 04:35, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

- Sigh. I'm saddened that this is still going on. You probably appreciate that I'd prefer to stay out of this, Panamitsu. Schwede66 06:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's understandable, no worries. ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:26, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
