Edit comments

Hi, if as at De materia medica you're making small formatting changes, i.e. even if you're not making substantial edits, please either mark these as minor (if within the rules for that) or give a brief edit comment (e.g. "tagging languages") as is good practice (and indeed policy), to save other editors from having to check for vandalism. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap: - my apologies; I'll be sure to add a brief comment in future, though editing on mobile I'm unable to mark my edits as minor. I appreciate the horror of checking through a watchlist and thinking "oh God, what now"(!) - so I'll change my behaviour going forwards. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 11:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks! Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Hello, I'm Skyerise. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sacramental bread, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 17:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

As you point out, I was mistaken in reading your edit as an addition. The real problem was that the sentence you were editing was off-topic in the etymology section, so I removed it. Feel free to integrate into a more appropriate place in the article. Skyerise (talk) 19:36, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Ivermectin Article

You reverted my edit to the Ivermectin article which provided three references on the ability of Ivermectin to bind to the COVID-19 spike protein, indicating that it may be useful for treatment of the disease. Clinical trials are ongoing, and it is certainly not yet approved by the various agencies, but I think this information is useful. I think peer-reviewed articles from respectable journals do not qualify as "unreliable/misinformation". Here are the articles: Please let me know if this changes your opinion. PAR (talk) 17:51, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

@PAR: - no, I didn't. Per this diff, you'll notice that Alexbrn is the editor who reverted you - not me. Your edits were reverted to the last version of the page before they were published, which was my edit; I have nothing to do with this, and I did not revert you. (Nor do I have any time to listen to horse dewormer misinformation.) Please go and take your complaints elsewhere. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

LOL - Ok, Ok. But horse dewormer? PAR (talk) 20:30, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Oh, Ok, I get it, Ivermectin. Sorry to bother you. PAR (talk) 20:31, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Halo

"In India the head halo is called {{transl|hi|Prabhamandala}} or {{transl|hi|Siras-cakra}}, while the full body halo is {{transl|hi|Prabhavali}}.<ref>Gopinatha Rao, T. A. (1985). Elements of Hindu Iconography. " - I'd imagine these are Sanskrit in fact. Johnbod (talk) 17:01, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

@Johnbod: - Ah, thank you! I wasn't quite sure whether I was looking at Hindi or Sanskrit. I'll change the ISO code if it hasn't been done so already.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 21:07, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Japanese costume article

You didn't actually undo my edit; you just carried on tidying up the article.

While I'm here,

• furigana would be useful
• it would be useful to rearrange the items in alphabetical order
• and possibly to provide separate section headings by initial kana character---Ehrenkater (talk) 12:15, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

@Ehrenkater: - You're right, furigana would be useful - I think it's possible to combine ruby text templates with {{nihongo}}. All of the items also need reordering alphabetically, as an IP drove-by earlier and added a handful of other entries, I don't think in the right order.

I'm not sure about separate section headings per kana character; I don't think there's ever going to be enough items on the list to warrant it, but more than that, I don't think I've seen that formatting anywhere else, though please correct me if I'm wrong.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 12:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

No, I haven't seen anything like that, and I agree that it would require more entries to justify it.

As regards the furigana, I agree these are shown in Japanese text as ruby text, but I think for this purpose the hiragana version in parantheses following the kanji might be easier to follow.---Ehrenkater (talk) 13:04, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Maybe - but we do have {{ruby}} at our disposal; it might make it clearer that it's the pronunciation, rather than an alternate spelling.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 10:34, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
