Hi Gonnym, noticed you changing the titles of the Ghost Story for Christmas episodes and tidying up my recent edits, much appreciated. Have already gone through and edited the episode list on the main page and in the individual infoboxes to reflect this.

As you can see I've already added some extra citations, including for the critical reception of the individual films, but that has been slow-going as a lot of the recent commentary is from those on the recent blu-ray releases, which due to copy protection bs won't play on my PC. For this reason I'm having to film then off my TV w/my tablet, then play those back and write the quotes down. Very annoying, and drags out the process of getting them added. Considering the state of some of these articles before I started on them I figure a few extra days of missing citations isn't the worst thing. FreeBard42 (talk) 15:44, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any updates to old articles is always welcomed. Good work! Gonnym (talk) 15:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Regarding the infoboxes, I know the date isn't normally given in the Previous/Next Episode section, but I thought it appropriate given that this is a unique case of an annual anthology show, with gaps between episodes of as much as 27 years. The issue I had was that it says to use rprev and rnext to stop the automatic quotations from appearing, but I couldn't find any documentation on how to use them, hence how we ended up w/"Stigma (1977)" instead of Stigma (1977). If you happened to know how that tag works I would put it to a question of whether the years should be included or not. FreeBard42 (talk) 16:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just don't add the dates. The next episode has an article so that information is there. Gonnym (talk) 16:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you made an edit comment suggesting I could have made a "cleaner" edit to Claudia Llosa. If you look at the previous edit which made the EL of the type I wikignome on, you'll see that I didn't alter the way previous editors had done the italics. I have enough work to do to fix the IMDb issues without also fixing other editors' foibles. Mike Turnbull (talk) 20:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article June (The Handmaid's Tale) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:INCOMPDAB with two entries, both of which redirect to the same article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, Gonnym, I misread this diff and inadvertently posted on Jonesey95's talk about it. Moving the conversation here (I will delete from his talk in 24hrs), but can you explain your edit, please? jhawkinson (talk) 16:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re this edit ("Fix Linter errors. I hope you don't mind this minor cleanup edit in your user space") — I do mind. Please look at the edit you just made and explain to me why you think it was appropriate. It appears to be reverting debugging messaging that I have added to my own personal version of a template, on the basis of…well, if a linter was complaining, you have not evidenced the complaint or why it should be heeded. Please revert it (and explain it). jhawkinson (talk) 15:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jhawkinson, that edit you referenced was not done by Jonesey95. This edit was done by Jonesey95 (and fixed a lint error). This other edit as done by Gonnym (and did not fix any lint errors). I've undone Gonnym's edit and left Jonesey95's edit active. You should see the "jhawk-test" text on User:Jhawkinson/Jed S. Rakofff now. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OOPS, MY BAD! I misread the diff! I will move this conversation to @Gonnym's talk in 24hrs. Thanks, WOSlinker, but obviously I could have reverted it myself, I wanted to know why the editor who made the change did so! jhawkinson (talk) 16:23, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jhawkinson, no worries! I make mistakes sometimes and welcome good-faith talk page dialogue. In this case, the "jhawk-test" text was inside a table but not inside a table cell, which causes a Linter "fostered content" error in which the interior text is rendered outside the table. My edit fixed the fostered content error, causing the interior text to render inside the table. If you want the text outside the table, the proper fix is to move it before or after the table code. If you want it to show up only with the "includeonly" text above it, you can move the closing includeonly tag to encompass it. I hope that helps. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:45, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm even more confused now, I think I confused Jonesey95 above, since it wasn't his edit that removed the "jhawk-test" text, that was Gonnym who we're still waiting to hear from? Sigh, sorry for messing up the attribution! jhawkinson (talk) 06:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please self revert the pages you blanked today that had fostered content errors that you justified on the basis of LINT. WP:LINT gives absolutely NO justification for blanking any page for any reason, and they were pages that did not meet the criteria of WP:STALE or of {{userpage blanked}}, as they were in the userspace of still active users (edited in last 12 months). These pages also were not in conflict with WP:UPNOT or WP:NOT.

Great leeway is given for pages in Userspace for the allowance of various creations and tests. Blanking old pages of active users WILL piss people off and be a detriment to the LINT project. If you are blanking a page, use the proper justification and do NOT blank any old page within an active user's userspace. If you can't fix the error, and STALE/UPB doesn't apply, leave the page alone for someone else to fix.

While I do blank sandbox and draft pages in userspace that I come across, it's been with pages where the user has not edited anything in over 4 years (far exceeding Stale's or Userpage Blanked's criteria) since I still come across users who pop back in after 4 years absence due to my edits who are not always happy of my changes, and I like to minimize these sorts of discussions.

Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 20:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Gonnym (talk) 20:19, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"No" is not a valid justification for blanking active users' old pages, nor is Lint (zero blanking permissions), Stale (which requires 12+ months inactivity from any user edits), or Userpage Blanked (which requires 12+ months inactivity from any user edits). Try again. What valid justification are you claiming for the blanking of these pages? Zinnober9 (talk) 20:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not edit my page! Lasha-george (talk) 18:42, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that I've actually helped with whatever you wanted to do by fixing WP:LINT errors you incorrectly left. Not closing italics, incorrectly closing small tags, not closing lists. There is no WP:OWN when dealing with these things. Gonnym (talk) 18:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If so, thanks. I thought it was just a vandal. In the future, I am thinking of editing this page as: List of rulers of Georgia.--Lasha-george (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this is a Wikipedia exercise, and when it's officially registered as a page, the correction will be made, okay?--Lasha-george (talk) 18:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are quite a bit more errors on the page but because it is not in English (and quite a bit of text there), it's a bit difficult to fix. Regarding List of rulers of Georgia, good luck! Just make sure you publish it in English :) Gonnym (talk) 18:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've also noticed there is Lists of Georgian monarchs and related lists so make sure you aren't duplicating content. Gonnym (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lists of Georgian monarchs are versions of different authors, that is, they are all versions. To the right of the main list of Iberian kings is written See also, where there are versions by different authors. The project is not ready yet.--Lasha-george (talk) 18:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by authors? Wikipedia editors? Gonnym (talk) 19:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I too came to ask why you were editing a test page of mine.[1] But strikingly, you didn't even use an edit-summary. That is always a good idea, and incredibly important when you are messing with someone else's test space. DMacks (talk) 02:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, of course, I meant different versions of historians! To the right of the main list of Iberian kings is written See also (იხილეთ აგრეთვე). Do you mean Wikipedia editors? No, I don't mean editors! Please refrain from editing my personal exercise. Goodbye and good luck...--Lasha-george (talk) 17:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, I didn't know about {{Draft categories}}; I should have re-read WP:Drafts#Creating and editing drafts. It still doesn't remove the need to remember to re-enable the cats when moving to mainspace!

I don't know if I will need help moving it though. Is there a block on regular editors moving to a deleted article? David Brooks (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the links that were for the actor so at least that's ready. Regarding your question, I don't think so. Gonnym (talk) 11:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Would it breaking protocol too much if I move it without waiting for a formal acceptance? After all, I have been known to create similar articles directly into mainspace. David Brooks (talk) 18:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
