Annual readership
[edit]Could you explain why you are spamming the annual readership template into articles? That info is available on a history tab, and is not needed on talk pages, and adds talk page clutter. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:28, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

[edit]
Hi Real4jyy! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. None of these three edits were minor: [1][2][3]. See also WP:Copying within Wikipedia. TompaDompa (talk) 16:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Talk header
[edit]I notice that you've been adding {{talk header}} to talk pages en masse, even pages with no discussions. This goes against the template's own documentation:
This template should be placed in accordance with talk page guidelines. This template does not need to be placed on every talk page, and should not be indiscriminately added to talk pages using automated editing tools. Talk pages that are frequently misused, that attract frequent debate, articles often subject to controversy, articles that typically attract new editors, and highly-visible or popular topics may be appropriate for this template.
— Template:Tph § Unnecessary
I don't think you're violating any rules, as long as your edits were manual, and I'm sure this was in good faith. If you think the header would be useful on more pages than the documentation describes, we could talk about it on Template talk:Talk header. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:16, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
Very long tags
[edit]Hi Real4jyy, I noticed you've added a few Very long tags to some articles. I was wondering how you are determining the length for this, are you looking at prose length, visual article length, or something else? Thanks, CMD (talk) 07:57, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- If any, his edits appear arbitrary and should be thoroughly checked; many of them have already been reverted. It is irresponsible behavior to add such tags without specifying what makes them "very long". Sanglahi86 (talk) 14:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello Real4jyy, it's a shame that @CMD and @Sanglahi86, who actually care, have to go through this regarding someone who doesn't seem to give a ****. I think I'll revert the rest of those edits and maybe you can answer the questions that were asked of you. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:04, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Edits have been reverted. Please reply when you have the time. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:53, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Placement of Portals
[edit]Portals belong in §See also, unless the page lacks such a section. That's both the standard convention – as evidenced by their placement there across numerous Good and Featured articles – and as explained in WP:SEEALSO, which states the sections purpose is to sponge up internal links. Please stop converting regular portal templates into portal bar, then shuffling them away from view at the bottom of pages – Portals are not navboxen. Happy Trails! -- dsprc [talk] 14:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- Are you going to discuss this at all or simply continue shoehorning the changes you prefer without regard to community consensus on layout and formatting? The community has spent much time hammering out the minutiae of WP:MOS; please respect their effort, and our community norms. -- dsprc [talk] 09:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Archiving request
[edit]Hey, can you run the Internet Archive bot on this page : Starlink in the Russo-Ukrainian War. I wish I could do it, but I have an issue with using the bot that I never managed to solve because my help request has remained unanswered for over a month.
thanks CodemWiki (talk) 17:06, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
December 2023
[edit] Hello, I'm Sohom Datta. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to DOM clobbering have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Sohom (talk) 19:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Ref formatting
[edit]Hi,
I undid a few of your ref archiving edits because your way of formatting refs (i.e. you put |first1 = and |last1 = on separate lines instead of together in one) expands the reference source code way too much, which makes the references section very cumbersome to comb through in the source editor. So I'm asking you to edit the reference source code according to how they are already formatted, instead of expanding them. And by the way, I also reverted your "fixed layout" edit to 152830 Dinkinesh because they create too much empty white space in between sections and the fixed image sizes aren't friendly to small-screen users. Thanks, Nrco0e (talk) 22:33, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
List of exoplanets discovered in 2024 moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to List of exoplanets discovered in 2024. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 05:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Exoplanets discovered in 2024
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:Exoplanets discovered in 2024 indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 06:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
GAR closure vs lack of communication from nominator
[edit]Regarding Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Towson United Methodist Church/1, I asked for clarification about the concerns mentioned in the GAR nom, with an eye towards fixing small stuff if there were only small items to fix. And was met with three weeks of silence, now followed by delisting with still no further comment. That seems like a broken process if nobody is willing to be specific about the concern. What is the basis for deciding how/if to fix it to the satisfaction of whoever raises the concern? DMacks (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
GAR closure
[edit]I'm not quite sure why you delisted Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Northallerton/1. As is very clear from the article history, cleanup work has been ongoing for a number of weeks. Please reopen the reassessment ASAP, and try to look at article histories before closing GARs. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have reopened the GAR. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Premature GAR Closure - Florida State University Main Article
[edit]You prematurely delisted the main article of Florida State University from GA status, which the article has had for years. I have reverted your delist and am requesting assistance from other editors to work the process properly. Your abrupt action without soliciting cooperation and collaboration in correcting and discussing the work is not helpful. Sirberus (talk) 15:03, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Before you delist any other GA status, I think you should first bring an article up to GA status. It takes substantial time and effort. It's easy to drop in, contribute nothing but an ill-conceived opinion, and then move on. I invite you to help make the FSU article better. Original work is hard and time consuming. Please give it a try. Sirberus (talk) 10:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Battle of the Yarmuk GAR closure
[edit]When closing a GAR, it is conventional to ping anyone who has said they intend to work on it, not delist it suddenly. Matarisvan, would you like the GAR reopened?
As an aside, this is now the fourth complaint on GAR closing from this year alone (see above). You need to take more care to act with full consideration when closing. Please acknowledge you have seen this comment. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29, I don't think this GAR should be reopened since I'm working on 3 other GA rewrites now. I forgot to post that on the review page, my bad. I have the sources ready for it though so I'll nominate the article for GA again once I have the time. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 15:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
