Question about edit

Can you explain this revert? So far as I can tell, it was a script designed to reduce memory consumption. Is there something disruptive about the script or was there something else in that particular edit? (I wasn't the one who made the edit, but it looked useful) entropyandvodka | talk 05:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Entropyandvodka: See WP:ANI#Pointless_edit-war_potentially_breaking_guidelines. The removal of spaces from citation templates is considered "editor-hostile" because it makes articles harder to edit. There is no easy way to put the spaces back but to revert. Feel free to remimplement the other parts of the edit. Skyerise (talk) 10:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, gotcha. entropyandvodka | talk 01:55, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hot topic

Gosh, Project 2025 is hot. Over 200,000 views yesterday (Friday) and some disturbing ongoing lede change proposals. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 21:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Esowteric: yes, I'm following the talk page. Seems like a consensus will eventually get established. BTW, are you aware of ongoing issues at Samuel Alito? If you're interested in the one, I suspect you're likely to be interested in the other. Skyerise (talk) 14:47, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thukdam

Hi, I've seen you're active on Buddhist topics. Could you please either start a page on tukdam meditation, or direct me to a topic talk where we can discuss new Buddhism articles? Thank you. Xn00bit (talk) 03:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Śuri

I had fixed the errors, and was about to tag the lulu source with a "better source needed". DuncanHill (talk) 11:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DuncanHill:, you fixed some of them; there were still others you didn't fix. Skyerise (talk) 11:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The three that needed moving from Further reading to Sources. That was all. They aren't "no-target" errors. Anyway sod it, you deal with it as you obviously don't want any help. DuncanHill (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DuncanHill: No, go ahead and finish fixing. I'm actually in a hurry and need to be elsewhere. I wouldn't have reverted you if you hadn't gone around posting that it was fixed when you weren't completely finished. Skyerise (talk) 11:50, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had fixed the no-target errors, and that is what I said. DuncanHill (talk) 12:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DuncanHill: Sorry for misunderstanding. Skyerise (talk) 12:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nondual awareness or detached awareness

Have you got any idea when 'detached awareness' came to be equated with "nondual awareness" in western writings? There seems to be a misunderstanding involved, may be an equation with neo-Platonism. "Nondual awarenes" has a subtile reification in it, whereas the real 'point' is detached awareness, non-clinging. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 10:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joshua Jonathan: This is just a guess, but I suspect the 1990s, perhaps originated by Deepak Chopra in his The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, where law 6 is the "law of detachment"? Skyerise (talk) 10:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I've started a project to improve the articles on the Sefirot. What do you think of the improvements I recently made to Keter? Skyerise (talk) 10:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Helen Parsons Smith

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Helen Parsons Smith you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Not sure what to do about this editor

Except go to ANI saying they are editing in good faith but making a mess. Eg their recent edit to Ocra adding a non-English orthography. Doug Weller talk 15:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Weller: yeah, I think that's what you'll have to do, since this editor is editing a broad range of articles and does not confine themselves to any specific language. Looks like WP:ICANTHEARYOU and WP:NOTHERE both apply. Doesn't seem to answer many queries on their talk page either. Skyerise (talk) 19:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Tomorrow probably. Doug Weller talk 19:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hello! I'm quite unsure about this edit of yours. I'm not a native English speaker, but as far as I know the term "references" only applies to sources, not explanatory notes, and quite all major articles here list them separately (eg. New York City, Rome, International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine, etc.). Same for the MOS, as far as I saw. The only MOS page grouping them is MOS:REFERENCES, but it names the grouped section "Notes and references", not "references" alone. Could you link me the guideline you're following here? Thanks. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 14:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See edit: Special:Diff/1234063533 —Alalch E. 11:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or explanatory footnotes and citations grouped under "Notes" with references separated out, as seen in George S. Patton#Notes. Just not explanatory footnotes under a section heading reading exactly "References", because explanatory footnotes are not references. —Alalch E. 11:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alalch E.: I had actually changed the heading to "Notes and references", but looking at the history I now see that I must have failed to hit publish. Skyerise (talk) 11:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I would not expect that you would think that explanatory footnotes are references. —Alalch E. 11:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mosi Nuru and misgendering

Had you previously notified said user of your gender? In their defence, I did not see it readily on your user page. I only found it via a plug-in when I hovered over your signature, and that displayed the pronouns (from your preferences?). However, if they've been informed, it changes the situation from (potentially) innocent lack of information to deliberate failure to pay attention, if not outright malice. —C.Fred (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: I didn't notice they had misgendered me on Talk:Project 2025 until I had to open that ANI report. Then I notified them on their talk page. I am not aware of them misgendering me since I have notified them. The hounding is a pain b/c I had plans to finish a project and now I have messages on something like four article talk pages saying how they had reverted me and demanding that I don't have the right to revert them. I mean, they have like 200 edits? I hear a duck: I've had my share of previous stalkers. User:Bethsheba Ashe shows up as an IP on ANI every time I'm involved in a thread there, despite the fact that she's banned. Pennsylvania or New Jersey, I think...
