:You're welcome, @]. One useful tool I like is https://citer.toolforge.org/ -- you just plug in the URL or ISBN and it will generate a Misplaced Pages-formatted citation for you. (You do have to double-check its fields, of course.) Happy editing! ] ] 23:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC) :Good luck with your review, @]! It would have a better chance if the draft had any independent sources about the prize itself (not just prize winner announcements). ] ] 19:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks - I added what sources I could but also note this from the talk page: "This '''draft''' does not require a rating on Misplaced Pages's ] scale. It is of interest to multiple ]." That suggests to me that the article should be able to make the transfer. Fingers crossed!

Third, ''many'' automobiles have forward collision warnings so there's no justification for calling out the Tesla. {{pb}}Also, rather than a separate examples section in the article, the reader would be better served by mentioning examples in the sections that discuss the specific collision avoidance system that the example uses, rather than separating "examples" from the descriptions. {{pb}}Hope that helps. ]&nbsp;] 15:37, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

I added links to a searchable database of Singer sewing machine serial numbers that is based on the official Singer records and ISMACS tables.

Also, the rest of the article provides info about serial numbers , where to find them, the correct format, the info they can provide... All the sources and references are listed.

Thanks for making a slight amendment to the extra note I had added to Buck Franklin's account of his experiences in Tulsa in 1921. You changed it to "An account of Franklin's experiences during this event appears in his autobiography, ''My Life and an Era''. I wonder if I might persuade you to add another word so that it reads: "An alternative account of Franklin's experiences during this event appears in his autobiography, My Life and an Era." My reason for suggesting the addition of the word 'alternative' is simply that the two accounts are significantly different. Any serious historian or student would obviously want to read and compare both accounts; and a little hint by the use of the word 'alternative' would be helpful in pointing them in the right direction.

Review of draft Historic Preservation Book prize page

Thanks for working on my new page - I think it is ready for review and to have draft status removed. Please let me know if you see any other issue that needs to be fixed ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 17:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Good luck with your review, @ProfessorKaiFlai! It would have a better chance if the draft had any independent sources about the prize itself (not just prize winner announcements). Schazjmd (talk) 19:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks - I added what sources I could but also note this from the talk page: "This draft does not require a rating on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale. It is of interest to multiple WikiProjects." That suggests to me that the article should be able to make the transfer. Fingers crossed!

Maps on Survivor sites

Just what is not appropriate about the links to the maps I've been adding to the Survivor Wiki pages? Curious about what your rational is. Jdavis2927 (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jdavis2927, please read WP:EL (which I also linked on your talk page). External links don't belong in wikipedia articles, except as references or in an External links section. The links that you're adding would not belong even in an External links section. A user-generated map is "unverifiable research" (#2 in the "what should not be linked" section of WP:EL).

Hi @Pvchem86 and welcome! Your first article walks you through the process. I have to warn you though that writing an article from scratch and getting it accepted can be a challenge. On the technical side, it might be helpful if you learn how to edit by making small changes and improvements to existing articles first.

Is Consumer Reports a reliable source?

I am not sure, so I am asking you.

This one: Consumer Reports Anonymous1261 (talk) 08:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@Anonymous1261, it's generally reliable, but it really depends on the type of information that you want to use it for. Are you asking for a specific instance? Schazjmd (talk) 12:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
This one: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-s/2024/road-test-report/ Anonymous1261 (talk) 14:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
@Anonymous1261 and what information do you want to base on that source? In which article? Schazjmd (talk) 14:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Its forward warning system part Anonymous1261 (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
@Anonymous1261, so you want to say that the 2024 Tesla Model S has forward collision warning as a standard feature? In what article? Schazjmd (talk) 14:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
In this one: collision avoidance in transportation#examples Anonymous1261 (talk) 15:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
@Anonymous1261, I wouldn't. First, that article only discusses In autonomous driving, while the Tesla Model S is semi-autonomous. Second, "forward collision warnings" aren't mentioned in the article. Third, many automobiles have forward collision warnings so there's no justification for calling out the Tesla. Also, rather than a separate examples section in the article, the reader would be better served by mentioning examples in the sections that discuss the specific collision avoidance system that the example uses, rather than separating "examples" from the descriptions. Hope that helps. Schazjmd (talk) 15:37, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Undone revision in Nighthawks

I don’t know why you reverted the punctuation to British format when everything else in the article follows American standards (i.e., period inside quotes). Perhaps you’re aware of some special case that I’ve never heard of. Jhofferman (talk) 05:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Jhofferman, Misplaced Pages style is to position punctuation outside of quotation marks; see MOS:INOROUT for details and for the few exceptions. Schazjmd (talk) 12:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion

Thanks for suggesting that I comment on the content, not on the editor. I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately, that user defaced a page that I and some other editors had edited. And that user has vandalized a number of other Misplaced Pages entries in a similar manner.

@Germanicguard, although you have cited WP:VANDALISM in comments on your talk page, I don't think you fully understand what is and is not vandalism. I've looked at the edit history of Brahma Chellaney and these are content disputes that should be worked out on the article's talk page. I suggest you concentrate your efforts there.

Revert of added reference

Hi Schazjmd,

Why did you revert this addition of a reference as spam? This is really a question, not a challenge. —Finell 04:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Finell, I reverted it for several reasons: the editor was spamming that url in multiple articles; it isn't a reliable source (it's "an online designer handbag authentication service and a renowned fashion blog"); and even if it had been a reliable source, nothing on that page supported the sentence it was added to. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 14:16, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from SimonBangBang (22:05, 4 October 2024)

I wanted to create a wiki page for the musician "she hacked you"

She is found on Google without quotes and has had been featured in music magazines in EU, US, MX and other countries

How best do I approach this so that I follow the rules? --SimonBangBang (talk) 22:05, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SimonBangBang and welcome! Your first article is a tutorial that can help you create an article. You should spend some time learning how to edit first, I'll put some links on your talk page to help you get started.I can't find any reliable sources that give her significant coverage. You'll need to come up with several sources of that type to support notability for an article. Schazjmd (talk) 22:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from JamesTecho (21:40, 15 October 2024)

I have an edit I want to make to the British Rail Class 91, which I have made, but the citation I put is to an article extracted from a magazine on a website called Readly that you have to log into to read. I subscribe to Readly and can get the original article from the magazine, how can I go about adding this as my citation? --JamesTecho (talk) 21:40, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @JamesTecho and welcome! I suggest that you use template:cite magazine. It has a parameter that you can use to indicate that a subscription is required. I've pasted an example, using your edit, below. If you need help or have additional questions, feel free to ask here. Cheers!

{{cite magazine | magazine=Readly | title=Back in time for europhoenix 91120 | date=3 October 2023 | url=https://gb.readly.com/magazines/railways-illustrated/2023-10-03/65137eb512f95e0db19942da?srsltid=AfmBOoqZM4P1H9TBoBH5dmkUWpw0XlmBLEk2cLygHjzJqBEM-3bJmWLF | access-date=15 October 2024 | url-access=subscription}}

Schazjmd (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Is there any way I can make this to be accessible to anyone, not just people that have access to Readly? JamesTecho (talk) 18:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't know of one. A number of libraries have access to Railways Illustrated so some readers will be able to look the article up that way. Schazjmd (talk) 18:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Singer sewing machine serial numbers

Hello and thanks a million for clarifying your edits in a comment. I added links to a searchable database of Singer sewing machine serial numbers that is based on the official Singer records and ISMACS tables. It's the official data, but easier to browse, since you can input a serial number and get info directly. Also, the rest of the article provides info about serial numbers , where to find them, the correct format, the info they can provide... All the sources and references are listed. It's not a commercial page, no advertising nor sponsorship. Please let me know how this could infringe guidelines, just to be sure for the future. I think the information on that link can be relevant to the history of Singer company and models. Rici86 (talk) 08:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Rici86, I assume you are the IP addresses that have been adding links to https://www.lrcrafts.it/ to multiple articles. That site is a hobbyist blog, and is not an appropriate external link; see WP:NOBLOGS. (When I referred to a commercial site in my edit summary, it was because I was also removing https://singer-featherweight.com/.) I'll add some links to your talk page that explain editing on Misplaced Pages. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 12:39, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi, thanks a million for your reply.
No blogs then, even if the author is a reliable source for the topic and the only one available online? I am not referring specifically to the Singer database, I am just trying to understand, because there's an article about an archaeological topic that benefits people elsewhere and could add value to a short historical article I found here. Thank you again, I appreciate the time you dedicated me! Rici86 (talk) 13:25, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
@Rici86, if you click through on WP:NOBLOGS, you'll see the exception for external links to blogs:

except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Misplaced Pages's notability criteria for people.)

As for using a blog post as a source for information in an article, that is covered by the verifiability policy:

That is why self-published material such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), content farmspodcastsInternet forum postings, and social media postings are largely not acceptable as sources. Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications.

Schazjmd (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
thank you for clarifying! Really appreciate! I'll stick to books and reliable sources then Rici86 (talk) 15:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Adonis3000z on List of supercentenarians by continent (17:44, 28 October 2024)

Hi, I am attempting to add a entry to a sorted table but the formatting appears to get messed up --Adonis3000z (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Adonis3000z and welcome. Can you post a link here to the problem edit so I can look at it to try to determine what the problem is? Schazjmd (talk) 17:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
this is what the page looks like now:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/List_of_supercentenarians_by_continent#South_American_supercentenarians Adonis3000z (talk) 19:26, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
The table format hadn't been closed with |}' so I added that. Does that help, @Adonis3000z? Schazjmd (talk) 19:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you a
@Schazjmd.
I just added another case/edit and I noticed there is something going on with the "Chile" placement. Here is the link:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/search/?title=List_of_supercentenarians_by_continent&wprov=rarw1#South_American_supercentenarians Adonis3000z (talk) 20:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
@Adonis3000z, there was an extra line space before the next row began. I removed it and the row is displaying properly now. I also changed the sort value to "Quijano", please be sure to do that for any additional names that you add. Schazjmd (talk) 20:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Okay thanks so much @Schazjmd. I think I am getting the hang of it now Adonis3000z (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Re: Orville Peck

Dear Schazjmd, thank you again for your numerous contributions to Misplaced Pages. I want to draw your attention to an example of how collaboration on Misplaced Pages WP:CO works: User Yngvadottir, who I never encountered before (the name sounds like an Icelandic woman) is taking over Orville Peck article from me , and doing the wiki-gnome ecologic role. I think that WP:CO is really the best thing about Misplaced Pages !!!

In WP:CO my role as a Misplaced Pages:WikiDragon is "to vomit up the Universe". Then WikiGnomes and WikiElves take over and format references etc. You can contribute to wiki-article by improving them, instead of deleting the work of others. In my humble opinion, the only times, when a deletion can be justified are 1) vandalism, 2) copyright violation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walter Tau (talkcontribs) 04:21, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Unsigned

If you subst the unsigned template, it automatically adds the date and time. :) --Yamla (talk) 16:45, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, @Yamla, I didn't know that! Schazjmd (talk) 16:51, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
@Yamla, I was fuzzy on subst/transclude so was poking around to learn the difference, came across WP:UNSIGNED. It says the date/time has to be manually entered ("None of these templates automatically populates (fills in) the username or IP of the poster or the time of the post.") Is that documentation wrong? Schazjmd (talk) 15:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Ah. It seems I was mistaken! Well, that's a pain. I suppose the reason is because it can't determine the date and time the comment was left. Sorry for getting your hopes up! --Yamla (talk) 16:11, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Well, darn...I was hoping I was reading it wrong. Back to manually converting local to UTC in my head... :) Schazjmd (talk) 16:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Cottage cheese

Hi, thank you for your contributions. Because of your edit, it seems to me that you know of a reliable source stating that titanium dioxide is usually added to cottage cheese. Is that correct? If so, what is the reference or source? T g7 (talk) 03:10, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@T g7, I reverted your edit because (1) you added an external URL to the body, which we don't do in articles, and (2) you added content that is already in that paragraph. You removed the sentence that titanium dioxide may be used to whiten cottage cheese, which takes away the context for the paragraph. Two of the sources in the paragraph already talk about it being added to cottage cheese, but I've added another ref to the paragraph. Schazjmd (talk) 14:10, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Franklin's account

Thanks for making a slight amendment to the extra note I had added to Buck Franklin's account of his experiences in Tulsa in 1921. You changed it to "An account of Franklin's experiences during this event appears in his autobiography, My Life and an Era. I wonder if I might persuade you to add another word so that it reads: "An alternative account of Franklin's experiences during this event appears in his autobiography, My Life and an Era." My reason for suggesting the addition of the word 'alternative' is simply that the two accounts are significantly different. Any serious historian or student would obviously want to read and compare both accounts; and a little hint by the use of the word 'alternative' would be helpful in pointing them in the right direction. Thanks once again. 89.243.78.236 (talk) 16:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
