Not a conversation per se - so feel free to delete, archive etc. Just wanted to express my thanks for your efforts in bringing this to a sensible close. I have no specific interest in this case but a broader interest in seeing Wikipedia flourish and the ASD community get the support it needs and deserves. Pstansbu (talk) 19:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
It's been a while since you installed your first script, and I think it's time for some more to help you in your work here. These next ones are not as comprehensive as the first one so I will introduce you to four new at the same time. You install them by copying the codes to your User:GrammarFascist/common.js page the same way you did with the first.
The first one is a very small but convenient tool. The only thing it does is to add a small cyan "aura" to the name of all editors who are admins. This way you instantly know if an admin is around/available/etc. Quite handy. (Documentation here) The code is:
importScript('User:Amalthea/userhighlighter.js');
The second one will enable you to automatically archive posts on talk pages. It may come in handy here since all your (good) work is generating quite a long talk page, and the bot have trouble keeping up with it. :) When installed a new text will appear at every post, similar to the [edit] at each heading. This will be on the same "line" but on the right-hand side and say [Archive]. You click on that and hey presto the post is archived. (Documentation here. Now, I'm terrified that I will archive something by mistake since the Archive-thing is so close to the scroll bar on the page so I keep the script "inactivated" most of the time by putting // in front of it when I'm not using it. I just remove those when I want to use it. You can see this in my common.js and its page history. The code is:
/* User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.js */
//importScript( 'User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.js' );// Backlink: [[User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.js]]
The third one is for making it easier when you help other editors with their drafts or in their sandbox(es). By adding it a new line with the word "Subpages" will appear in the "Tools" section in the left-hand column on each page. This way you can simply click on that to get to a special page where all the subpages connected to a page or a user page are listed. The code is:
mw.util.addPortletLink ('p-tb', wgServer+wgArticlePath.replace("$1", "Special:PrefixIndex/"+wgPageName+"/"), 'Subpages');
The last will help you editing overlinked articles. It will add the words "Highlight duplicate links" to the "Tools" section in the left-hand column of a page. When you click on it, all double, triple, etc. links in an article will temporarily get small red rectangles around the links. It works best on the article itself even if the documentation says that it can be done in edit mode. I usually keep two copies of the article side by side on the screen when I edit. One regular and one that I edit. This is how I managed to weed out all the redundant links in this diff. Quite a task otherwise. (Documentation here) The code is:
importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js'); // [[User:Ucucha/duplinks]]
Well, that's all for now. There are still more that I think you might like, but we'll save them for a now. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 21:50, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

All the things that goes on the common.js page are a bit tricky, since you are the only one who can edit it. I can not help you correct things like the on/off function above since your page is locked to me and everyone else. w.carter-Talk 18:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Template:Did you know nominations/WT1190F. Hi, today is 10 November, that article is expected to feature on main page within 2 days as you said in your comment. You have not informed involved editors on their talk page when you reviewed that article. Pinging them may not have much impact. Thank you. Thanks. Human3015TALK 12:32, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
I went ahead and added the ((talk archive navigation)) to the top of your first archive pages. This was not done on the three first pages since you started two of those manually and the third one was in between the systems. This header will prevent people from accidently edit in the archive since the header disables all but the top [edit] buttons. It also incorporate the first pages into the system for searching. I hope you don't mind me doing this, it was easier to "do" than to explain. ;) Everything seems to be in good shape now, and your talk page is much more accessible. I hope you liked the other scripts as well and have some use for them. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 15:57, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I do have some additional sources, but I just really have trouble adding anything to Wikipedia properly. The site makes me dizzy. The latest references include:

Hey, I'm fine with adding the font info, I'm just curious if it's correct to double up on the info like that since it is already in the box (and should Aldus be added in the sentence) or what's the rule(?) here. Or is there one? Asking here only because it's more of a ? about how those article boxes are or should be used (and not about the article itself). Thanks! --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 20:30, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
On 13 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nahem Shoa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some of the British painter Nahem Shoa's portraits (example pictured) were painted at up to 15 times life size? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nahem Shoa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Camden Crawl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plan B. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I answered your initial question on my talk page, but then did a little research and found what I was looking for...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Opportunities_for_commonality
I think that would cover using the word "while" instead of "whilst" - no non-American English speaker is going to be confused with the word "while" and it's rather strange for Americans, so a commonly understood word (while) would seem sensible. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
I take particular objection to your asking people if they are cis or trans in an election. First of all, if people don't answer questions on that page, especially fully, for the people that read them that's a sign that they are unwilling to be open with the community. It then negatively affects their candidacy. Second, to speak specifically to the cis or trans part, it's very inappropriate and rude to ask someone if they are transgender. Think, would you go and ask someone that question randomly out in public? To quote one of many texts:
Some transgender people feel comfortable disclosing their transgender status to others, and some do not. Knowing a transgender person's status is personal information and it is up to them to share it. Do not casually share this information, or "gossip" about a person you know or think is transgender. Not only is this an invasion of privacy, it also can have negative consequences in a world that is very intolerant of gender difference - transgender people can lose jobs, housing, friends, or even their lives upon revelation of their transgender status.

Kudos for helping the new editor Arttalk1984 to fixup the needed article on Nahem Shoa. So many newbies are scared off by the trolls and know-it-alls, thankfully you and the Teahouse folk happened to be there to help her/him. How refreshing that a struggling new editor wasn't shot on sight. — Sctechlaw (talk) 02:25, 13 November 2015 (UTC) |

I see the link referencing the publication being discussed and am glad that you have taken the time to review the dispute. Your reference to require a secondary source is patently absurd as even DC comics published once and is done for characters. Their own reference does not make the reference any more valuable for historic references. Both DC publication and the Heights are referenced in the Library of Congress, so publications both have secondary sources unlike high school papers. IT IS this reference you yourself seem to think makes it inclusive to Wikipaedea. For this reason there should be an inclusion of this character and timeline as the sources are supported for both and origination as stated as the earlier date referenced. Not every book is referenced by its source and even the Bible that has been republished almost an uncountable amount of times does not require the original author to be referenced by a secondary source. I consider your guide like the Overstreet guide as a reference to only commercial publications but not all publications of character or storyline. Spiffiest (talk) 22:42, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
