thanks for letting me know. I'm going to reply. the reason I didn't give rationalizations to the 151 ip user for getting rid of his reversions is because he (falsely) believed that my usage of cite book was wrong and didn't discuss it with me before whole-sale deleting my hard work. which makes me sadface (and frustrated). maybe I should just explain in the future. I appreciated the help. Create a template (talk) 09:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

August 2022

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that your username, "Create a template", may not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy because it is misleading, per WP:MISLEADNAME, and suggests your account is a template creation tool. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

I was wondering about that. Time to get a new username or account! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 00:21, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I came here to say the same - your username is a bit confusing. Tacyarg (talk) 10:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Names of prizes

If a book or author wins a prize we should use the name the prize had at that time, rather than its later name. I've corrected Constructing a Nervous System and reinstated the link to the official prize site, the most reliable source we have for anything and which you removed without explanation.

Refnames

Creating semantically-empty refnames like ":0" is bad enough, but please don't change semantically-meaningful refnames to empty ones. It's like the difference between writing uncommented code, and deleting the comments from code that's already written. DS (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
