== "The GOASTT" redirect ==

Hello! I removed <code><nowiki>{{R from misspelling}}</nowiki></code> from [[The GOASTT]], as, unless I'm an idiot, does seem to be an alternate name and not a misspelling of an alternate name (similarly to [[GOASTT]]), and such is used by many sources online. Please feel free to correct me if I'm missing something there! {{smiley}} ~ [[User:Eejit43|<b style="color:#f7eda1;background-color:#364add;padding:2q;border-radius:3q">Eejit43</b>]] ([[User talk:Eejit43|talk]]) 02:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
:They seem to more commonly go alternately by "GOASTT" without the "The" so in that case it's more of an alternate to their common alternate, but I didn't find a suitable <nowiki>{{R from...}}</nowiki> for that 😉 I'm sure it's fine how it is now; thanks for getting in touch :) <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 02:15, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

== Robert Lanza ==

Hello!

Regarding that pending edits on [[Robert Lanza]], I reverted it as it removed a bunch of negative viewed comments, and added positive ones, some being unreferenced. A couple were also poorly formatted and worded, such as {{!xt|he forces a reappraisal of this hoary epistemological dilemmaLanza subsequently published several books that further.}}. ~ [[User:Eejit43|<b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b>]] ([[User talk:Eejit43|<span style="color: #00733f">talk</span>]]) 14:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
:Yep; '''I am entirely in error''' and reverted myself almost immediately when I saw the result. I often find diffs confusing and simply read it wrong .. again. I will say, though what you do with it is up to you, that changes to articles being unexplained is not a good enough reason to revert work, and explaining (the irony is not lost) why those changes were bad would be more helpful. <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 14:33, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
::No worries! Yeah that diff took me a while to fully understand!
::I try not to put too much information in summaries, as I feel that just clogs it up. Instead I like to directly leave messages if needed.

I like what you are doing so i don't want to rain on your parade in public in case it is just an example. But FYI just in case: [[MOS:FOREIGNITALIC]] says that e.g. {{Lang|fr|Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques}} must use {{tl|Lang}}, not italic markup. Which is partly why is asked if a {{code|1= lang= }} could be added. Best wishes. --[[User:John Maynard Friedman|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:John Maynard Friedman|talk]]) 23:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
:I really do appreciate your kindness, but I'm fine with being called out in public 🙂 I've integrated {{tlc|lang}} handling in [[Module:User:Fred Gandt/getShortDescription]] but haven't finished either it or [[Module:User:Fred Gandt/annotatedLink]] yet. In fact I only just started annotatedLink. I shared the fact of their existence to get feedback, so let's carry this on back at [[Special:Permalink/1134969128#Module|annotated link's talk]]. I just stopped to eat and watch a movie; the pizza was good, but [[Cell (film)]] was meh. Fun fact; {{tl|lang-fr}} and {{tlc|lang|fr}} make different outputs, but the former handles LTR/RTL text by default e.g. {{lang-fr|Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques}} <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 00:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
