Please help me with... finding articles that have {{Interlanguage link}}s to the "de" wikipedia. Kiwipete (talk) 07:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

I suggest you have a closer look how to do queries via Petscan Wikipedia:PetScan which is the best tool to do so (but in general it is not quite easy at all). CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Edits to DOY articles

I am not using a bot but a AWB script. I was not even aware that that project existed. I think that the idea of using – instead of the html – is foolish and I note that the suggestion is not in MOS guideline. However I have no wish to annoy anyone or tread on anyone's perceived territory, so I will refrain from making such changes to days of the year articles. -- PBS (talk) 06:03, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

On editing June 13

Thank you very much for correcting me ❤️. I had an instinct that my last edit on June 13 (events : 1901-present) was going to be a bit overstated, but I did it anyways as the other wikipedia articles had that exact statement about the event. Thanks again :-) Anggona Era (talk) 09:27, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

No worries, always a pleasure to help :) Kiwipete (talk) 04:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Days of the Year Additions

Thank you for your feedback regarding several of my Days of the Year additions. As you can guess I am still learning much of Wikipedia as I try to update the Days of the Year entries to include active WTA tennis players with Wikipedia entries. I replied with my intention to fix the en dash problem, but as I'm unsure how talk pages and replies work, I'm posting here as well. It's annoying however because it's much faster to edit these using just the Visual editor, but I cannot seem to see any way to get the desired &nash; to appear there without directly copying an en dash from another entry. Using the insert feature results in the actual '–' and so does alt + 150. Please advise, if you can, on how to best insert – without using Source editing. Nevertheless, every single entry has been fixed with regards –.

You also mentioned that capitalisation should be by surname. This I missed because of inconsistent messaging at the bottom of the 'Births' section on each page. Some do not mention alphabetisation at all, and some omit the by last name section. Here I would suggest someone finds a message with all of the information and replaces the message in every entry with that information. In the meantime, I have edited the order of the entries I made where necessary with alphabetisation by surname. I did however think of a few scenarios in which more clarity might be appropriate: in the case of two persons born on the same day with the name surname (here I ordered by first name), or persons with names that don't follow the same order as English e.g., Chinese or Spanish (I went with what they were professional known as and took the surname therein), or finally persons who are known by a mononym (do you still order by their surname or by their mononym whether it's their first name or a pseudonym?).

Thanks for your help so far and I look forward to your response. Please also don't be afraid to shoot me a talk message regarding any changes you make to my submissions. I noticed you removed the entry for Mirjam Björklund from 29th of July page citing that the reference didn't actually contain her date of birth, though I didn't notice this until I reached that day in my &ndash edits. This is an unfortunate reality as the official WTA website is missing some key biographical information for younger players but will be updated in future. With this in mind, I edited the 29th of July and every other entry where the WTA website lacked their actual date of birth so that every time this happens there is also a citation to another source such as Eurosport, ESPN, Wimbledon, the US Open etc. that does contain their date of birth. The WTA links have been left in place, however, because this is the principal reference for professional tennis players, should be accurate in the near future, and adds to their veracity.

Thanks again for your help.

About editing on awarding date of the Nobel prizes 2022

Hi once again, Kiwipete! I recently added the awarding of all six Nobel prizes awarded to the recipients in 2022 on the pages of October 3,4,5,6,7,10. But on the page of oct 5, you removed the awarding and stated "while both the people and prize are notable, the awarding of the prize itself to them is not". Then, should the awarding of other pages be removed as well? (As an amateur contributor, I many a times struggle editing, apologies for any wrong edits). Thank you ❤️

Eyad (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Eyad, I see that there are year-specific articles for Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences, but not for Chemistry or Physics. I'm not sure why that is the case. Do you have any involvement in creating/maintaining these articles?

The general guideline for putting entries into the Events section on DOY articles is that there must be a specific article about that event (please see WP:DOYSTYLE - "All events, births, deaths, and holidays should be linked to existing Wikipedia articles and those articles should mention the specific events"). In that regard, the entry on October 4 for the Physics prize should also probably be removed. I'm sorry not to be able to offer much more help here. Regards, Kiwipete (talk) 06:55, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Regarding the April 14 article

Why shouldn't births and deaths in the same year be grouped under sub-bullet points? That's how the year articles do it (see 1918#Births) and it looks good and works well. Kornatice (talk) 21:10, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Kornatice, I've never really looked at the year articles. For the DOY articles, there is WP:DOYSTYLE, including a reference to the template used for these articles. Cheers, Kiwipete (talk) 06:48, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Game of the century, Bobby Fischer vs Donand Byrne

Hi, why did you cancel it from 17 october ? Ricercastorica (talk) 11:39, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Did you read my edit summary? "new entries require an inline citation, please see WP:DOYCITE". Kiwipete (talk) 07:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I did. You did cancel the sentence which includes the inline citation Ricercastorica (talk) 12:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

This is the full text of your edit:

*1956 – [[The Game of the Century (chess)|Game of the Century]] between [[Bobby Fischer]] and [[Donald Byrne]]

An inline citation is typically one of the variations of the {{cite}} template, enclosed at the end of this text inside a pair of <ref></ref> tags. There are plenty of examples of this on the page. Please familiarise yourself with them, and also read and understand WP:DOYCITE and WP:RS. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 06:43, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I am more familiar with chess than with inline citations, so if you wish to fix it, please feel free. Ricercastorica (talk) 15:37, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Don’t really understand.

What’s an in-line citation? StephenBryant7 (talk) 16:40, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Okay, I think I fixed the inline citation problem. Thanks! StephenBryant7 (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
