Daniel Lubetzky
Hi SchreiberBike. My name is Sarah. I noticed that you made some recent edits to Daniel Lubetzky's article, and was hoping you would take a look at my edit request at Talk:Daniel Lubetzky. Hope to see you there! Thanks, SarahB2245dl (talk) 13:52, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- @SarahB2245dl: Thanks for taking the right approach to editing where you have a conflict of interest. I will take a look, but it will be a little while before I get there. Welcome to Wikipedia. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:22, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. Looking forward! SarahB2245dl (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @SchreiberBike - we worked together on some edits to Daniel Lubetzky's Wikipedia page back in 2021. A few weeks back I suggested some additional inclusions for his talk page - I'd love to see if you're open to reviewing those. SarahB2245dl (talk) 13:44, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- @SarahB2245dl: Like last time, I'm kinda busy, but I'll look carefully, probably early next week. As more and more items are added to a page about a person, the page can begin to appear to be like a resume or to be promotional (See WP:NOTCV). I'd try to compare the page about Lubetzky to a fairly recent featured article about a similar person (no time now to look for one now, sorry). The more significant awards, etc. should be listed, but it's not encyclopedic to record every one. Back to you soon, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 02:01, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- @SarahB2245dl: By the time I got there, @Actualcpscm: had already taken care of things and I agree with their assessments. Thanks, to both of you. Again, I'd suggest limiting the article to just the most significant things rather than have it serve as a CV. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- @SchreiberBikethank you so much for getting back to me and for this feedback, which is incredibly useful. @Actualcpscm big thanks for jumping in to make these additions! SarahB2245dl (talk) 12:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Aircraft in Fiction
Listen pal, I don’t know how to cite, but I’m telling the truth about the appearances of the P-51 and P-40 in the films I’ve listed. Check out the articles I’ve linked there, there’s no deception going on! I just thought that since those films which I know those planes star or appear in didn’t show up in the list, I should add them. Just because I don’t know how to cite doesn’t mean those additions should be taken away! Ace of Aces12 (talk) 18:54, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Ace of Aces12: Welcome to Wikipedia. I don't doubt your knowledge (I've seen some of those movies and I know you are right). What I want to do is follow the instructions in the edit notice at the top of the editing window (see Template:Editnotices/Page/Aircraft in fiction). That notice has been basically the same since 2014; so there's a strong consensus to follow it. It makes it clear that the article is not intended to include every aircraft that appears in fiction. It says:
"Third-party references are needed to show the notability of the appearance."
and"If you don't supply a reliable reference your entry will be quickly removed"
. Since they weren't referenced, I removed them and I explained why.
- Accuracy is important on Wikipedia and the citations help make sure that the information is accurate. If you want to add facts to Wikipedia, you need to learn to add citations. Also, please include edit summaries so everyone knows the purpose of your edit. It's how we work together to make the encyclopedia better. Thank you, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 05:06, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Draft created page requestm
Hello, would it be a problem to approve my draft? It keeps getting no notice even tho everything info i typed and source is reliable HrvatskiNogomet (talk) 05:58, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- @HrvatskiNogomet: I don't approve drafts, but I looked at Draft:Armend Maroshi which you had edited and I can make some suggestions. I looked for other Croatian football wingers and found the articles Frane Vladislavić and Kruno Ivančić. I suggest looking at those articles and format and reference the article about Armend Maroshi similarly to those. You could also get cues from looking at other football players on F.C. Crotone. Good luck, and I might be able to help if you have any questions. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 06:21, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Western flycatcher (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Western flycatcher (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I appreciate your edit on the references, specially switching the number dates to written dates, but what's up with replacing [...] with ... on quotes that were cut short? Isn't [...] the correct way to do it? It is where I live anyway. I just wanted to clear that up because I don't want to revert your edit. --GustavoCza (talk) 23:05, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @GustavoCza: Thanks for the note. Every organization or publication has its own style. Wikipedia's Manual of Style guidance on ellipses is at MOS:... where it explains that we generally do not use the square brackets around ellipses, but
"Occasionally, square brackets are placed around an ellipsis to make clear that it isn't original to the material being quoted, for example if the quoted passage itself contains an ellipsis"
. So generally, I only keep the square brackets if they are indicating something beyond a plain ellipsis. Does that make sense? Thanks and let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Also the date fixes are easy with User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates; it's not perfect (so I double check), but it takes care of a lot of otherwise tedious work.

Clarification needed
Greetings,
I'm hoping you can explain the grammatical rule or style standard that suggests that ""lists" should be capitalized in this context. All the best. --~TPW 17:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello to the @True Pagan Warrior: I can see that my edit summary was unclear. In that case we are asking the reader to "see" a specific list, so I thought it best to refer to the list by the name it has on Wikipedia. Like I'd write
"for the species Canis familiaris, see Dog"
because I'm directing them to an article by name rather than the topic of dogs. If the sentence had been"See these lists of covers of Time magazine"
, I think lower case would be right, but it said"For other decades, see Lists of covers of Time magazine"
referring to a named list. There are bunch of examples at Wikipedia:Hatnote which use the "see ..." format and those capitalize the link as the name of an article. Does that make sense to you? SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)- It affirms what I suspected, which is that you believe that Wikipedia article titles are, in and of themselves, proper names. That being the case, your edit summary was clear. I ask again for you to cite a specific policy, or style manual entry, that supports your supposition, as my comment requesting same was evidently not clear. All the best.~TPW 13:31, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I do
"believe that Wikipedia article titles are, in and of themselves, proper names."
It seems uncontroversial that when referring to an article title as an article title, it is a proper name. I can't think of a guideline that states that directly, but it certainly is common practice. I looked at the article Wikipedia, did a ctl-f for "see" and looked for links to article titles that begin with common nouns. The first five are: - All of them capitalize the titles as proper nouns. I haven't found
"a specific policy, or style manual entry, that supports [my] supposition"
, but it seems apparent that Wikipedia article titles are proper nouns when referred to as article titles. Do you find that clear? SchreiberBike | ⌨ 15:16, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit to "Sterling silver"
Hey, IP user here, just notifying you that I fixed a broken image on the "Sterling silver" article. I think your change on July 4th caused to break - the name for the file had "c. 1875" in it, which you had changed to a "circa" template, meaning it couldn't reference the image file. It is a bit weird that the image file's name itself had "c. 1875" in the first place, but it should be good now. 128.163.248.203 (talk) 19:46, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Script assisted date changes within citations
Please note: MOS:NUM does not apply to citations, and it explicitly says as much. WP:CITESTYLE states dates should be presented with big, or little, endianness (DD-MM-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD) but not mixed endian (M-D-Y, etc).
Also: citation tools built into the Web interface automagically populate the 'date' parameter in D-M-Y format.
Please try not to alter them too much going forward. Thank you. -- dsprc [talk] 01:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

). I don't speak any German, but I can make sense of a lot of what I read in that language and I was concerned that there was something I was missing with the single digits where I expected a date. After knowing it wasn't a language problem, I did some research and found that the article was translated from German Wikipedia but for some reason they hadn't taken the whole date which I could find in the original.

Hi there, why did you reverted this edit? I was trying to reinsert the content that has been removed and I found a source for this claim.
Thanks. -- 2601:205:C001:EA0:D0E8:B9D7:7381:E7F5 (talk) 02:11, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for your note. My edit summary said "Undo unexplained edit. That's too fine grained for an article about the company." By "too fine grained" I mean that in an article about the history of Target Corporation, it is not necessary or helpful to include detailed information about one store. There are over a thousand Target stores. If we included a paragraph about each store, the article would be too long and would be less valuable to the reader. Does that answer your question?

"Typo" in reference
Hi SchreiberBike. I wanted to let you know that in this edit, while you were correct to change the "m" to a comma, changing "190" to "19" was incorrect because the citation was to "issue 190" of the magazine, dated "December 2018". I've now converted the reference to use the {{cite magazine}} template. Thanks for your efforts nevertheless. XAM2175 (T) 11:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- @XAM2175:. Thank you for catching and fixing my mistake and alerting me. I'm sorry. I should have been more careful and I appreciate your diligence. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:01, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- No worries! XAM2175 (T) 01:08, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for catching that error on the automatic taxobox. I try to go around the wiki cleaning up taxoboxes, but I don't usually get a "parenthetical" taxon like that. Векочел (talk) 01:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Векочел: Yes, that system is complex for an amateur like me. I used to spend a bunch of time on species pages and knew some of the ins and outs. I'm glad I was able to figure out the fix. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
North Dakota bats
I was writing about three bats added to North Dakota mammal list i can’t find proof of the fringed bat or the two free tailed bats added to the site I did however found three more that are not on there and have proof for them Cando1889 (talk) 06:13, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
I ment fringed tailed bat
But the three not listed are north long eared bat ,western small foot myotis and the long legged myotis Cando1889 (talk) 06:19, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Cando1889: Looks like you are talking about your edits at List of mammals of North Dakota and it looks to me like you are doing good work. The thing to do is to format your changes like the work that was there before. I appreciate that you've been using edit summaries; that's how Wikipedia editors tell each other why they've made a change. Keep it up. If you have any questions or anything, let me know. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you I will. Cando1889 (talk) 03:58, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Answer to Indiewood question
≈ indicates a National Film Registry inductee; see notes below Espngeek (talk) 02:03, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. I see it now. I missed it when I looked twice before, so either I'm not having a good day or maybe it should be in a more prominent location, maybe right under the heading ==List of selected notable and important Indiewood/Indie films==, but that might not work well either. I'm out of ideas tonight. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:22, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Is this the right information about wild kratts season 7
https://wildkratts.fandom.com/wiki/Season_7 if this is right u can put it on the wild kratts episodes Wikipedia page Booe 1999 (talk) 19:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Booe 1999: Sorry for the slow reply. No. A Fandom wiki is not a reliable source for things to be added to Wikipedia. At WP:UGC it explains that user generated content, which is what most wikis are, can not be used as a reliable source for Wikipedia. Review the page for reliable sources at Wikipedia:Reliable sources to better understand why. Basically, "articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Those rule pages are long and complicated, but they make sense once you get to know them. Please be nice to people, avoid rudeness and you can be a valuable part of Wikipedia. Let me know if I can clarify or help in any other way. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 00:35, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Ocypode gaudichaudii
Hi. You have made a edit in good faith, but in error. You changed eating juvenile to juvenile eating. I've changed it back. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:48, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: Thank you for pointing out my error. It has not yet been corrected. Would it be right to say that's an adult Ocypode gaudichaudii eating a juvenile Ocypode gaudichaudii? Or is it an adult Ocypode gaudichaudii eating something else which is juvenile? I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 20:42, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: I'm still not sure how to fix this. Should it be "An adult Ocypode gaudichaudii eating a juvenile Ocypode gaudichaudii" or "An adult Ocypode gaudichaudii eating", or what? Thank you for sharing your photos! SchreiberBike | ⌨ 16:04, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- My guess would be that it is eating a juvenile of its own species, but that would be a guess so best to just say 'eating'. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:00, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks.

Hello SchreiberBike!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Saruman Museum
How are you?Im still missing Rugeiroland but there it is. Would you take a a look at this Saruman [1] page Never got the hang of ISBNs Did you see that our erstwhile associate Velerie (Wikifrance) is now a Membre of the Legion d'Honeur Warm regards Notafly (talk) 15:40, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Notafly: Sorry for the delay. I'm editing Wikipedia less but getting other important things done. I did some editing on Saruman Museum and it looks pretty good. I've not heard from Ruigeroeland either; his baby must be five years old now. I'm not sure who Velerie is, but a Legion d'Honeur is quite an accomplishment. My best to you and I hope you are doing well, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

New contest!
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |
