Dispute

Should be discussed in the talk page. I have restored the spelling that source used. If you still Have disagreement you are free to raise the issue on The talk page. don't edit war. Regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 08:58, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Moved from User talk:DBigXray

The first source is WRONG, (that's why I changed it!) but the second is correct. I am a retired professional proofreader. If you're not sure about something e.g. spelling, do a Google search before jumping to conclusions. Now they are both wrong, instead of none, after my change/s. Editrite! (talk) 09:39, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

how can you call it wrong when Cambridge dictionary uses the spelling that I had added. --DBigXrayᗙ 10:05, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Apparently, the reference you have found believe it to be optional, as you have seen. I have seen others that say "convener", which is technically more correct, since convene is the verb and you just add an "r" to form the noun,(which makes more sense) instead of changing the spelling. Anyway, all's well that ends well, as I see someone else has changed it back. Editrite! (talk) 22:20, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I can argue on the merits of convenor too, but I refuse to. Since both are correct. It was nice talking to you. regards.--DBigXrayᗙ 06:02, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Kobayashi was also a nine-time world runner-up. I was counting the right table, but the wrong column. Pretty dumb of me, but not as dumb as confusing Japan with Earth. Anyway, just clearing that up.

I'm curious to know why you removed my addition. It's factually correct and was the only cited example of his work in his later years. Michael Schlesinger aka Cadavra8Cadavra8 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

I think you've messaged the wrong editor. All I did, was delete one word "with" in the Personal life section, and changed one other word "of" in the Film and television career section, both grammar issues, which were mistakenly reverted by another editor anyway. Editrite! (talk) 07:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, okay, thanks, I'll check again. Cadavra8 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Virginia V. Ahern

Thanks for you note. Belated as my seeing it is, you are correct, I made a mistake in the name. It should be Mary Virginia Ahern, or Mary V. Ahern. How can this be corrected? _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 08:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Do you not remember how you created the article in the first place? Editrite! (talk) 09:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I remember how I created the article. I have corrected the text, but am not sure of how to change a title. I guess you do not know either. Perhaps, I should create an article with the correct name and use a "move" to make the correction, I will try that. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 13:27, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Well, I stumbled through it, making another mistake before discovering the correct method, however. Saw a note that a bot will clean up behind me, so perhaps it all will be ironed out correctly. Greatly appreciate the WP bots! Thanks again. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 14:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Nancy McCredie

Hello! Where did you find reference to Nancy McCredie's death? I can't find anything backing that up. -- Zanimum (talk) 10:58, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I spend much of my time sorting out inconsistencies in Wiki articles. In this case, someone had changed the info box but not the text to match. I normally check that any change is properly sourced, but in my hurry may not have. Since you messaged me, I too have had trouble finding sources, apart from Dead People which I believe is not reliable. There is also Olympedia, which I usually find is reliable. However, if you are not comfortable with that, or you know otherwise, I'm happy if you want to change it back. Editrite! (talk) 01:29, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

The section you asked about was not referenced, and an article supposed to be on the Main page has to have everything referenced. The German Wikipedia, from where it was translated, seems to be less strict. I removed it altogether. You can bring it back with an independent reference if you find one, - I have enough concerns already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Please be careful with runner-ups vs runners-up when used for tallying

While runners-up is correct when talking about multiple runners in an event, it is not correct when tallying the number of runner-up trophies won. It is proper to use runner-ups in that case. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 00:44, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

I see you did it again with Kateřina Siniaková. Please be careful when there are not multiple runners. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:37, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

We've been down this road before. It has been made clear to you that your reasoning is flawed. The plural of runner up is runners up NOT runner ups. The second paragraph of this article has the correct version (not edited by me, which you haven't changed) and the tables have been amended accordingly for consistency. As I've said before, if you don't know what you're doing then you shouldn't be editing. . . by the way, why is this topic not in chronological order like the others. Editrite!

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Mark Philippoussis, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. I have told you on your talk page about different uses of runner-up. This was discussed with the people at Oxford English dictionary. When tallying the number of runner-up finishes it would properly be runner-ups. When talking about a number of people in a race it would be runners-up. Please don't make changes when they are already correct. Thanks Fyunck(click) (talk) 00:51, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Johnnie Jones's mother: "Mulatto"?

Assuming I've used the edit history search tool correctly, you made an addition to the page on civil rights activist Johnnie Jones on April 23 in which you referred to his mother as a "mulatto." Did you have a specific reason for using that word? No matter what the norms may have been during the lifetimes of Jones's parents, it's considered a racist today, so I changed it to "mixed-race." If you can explain your reasoning for using the word, I'll change it back. --JDspeeder1 (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Gladys Davis (baseball)

Hi, I saw this edit and was wondering where 68 came from. Looking at the archived version of the source (#4) I count 57, but maybe there is an update? Canadian Paul 20:57, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the query. Firstly, the source that you have referred to, actually lists 64 Canadians not 57. Although most of the entries specify Canada,

there are several that only specify "CA" in red to distinguish from "CA" in black (California). I note that there are also quite a few N/A's (not available), and maybe some of them account for the difference. However, I will look back to see if I can find the source that specifically mentioned 68. Just following up with that source which is https://baseballhalloffame.ca/hall-of-famer/aagpbl/ (the 5th source in the Helen Callaghan article) Editrite! (talk) 22:04, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Editrite!!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
