"The GOASTT" redirect

Hello! I removed {{R from misspelling}} 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! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 02:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 {{R from...}} for that 😉 I'm sure it's fine how it is now; thanks for getting in touch :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 02:15, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 he forces a reappraisal of this hoary epistemological dilemmaLanza subsequently published several books that further.. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:32, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Module

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. Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques must use {{Lang}}, not italic markup. Which is partly why is asked if a lang= could be added. Best wishes. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really do appreciate your kindness, but I'm fine with being called out in public 🙂 I've integrated {{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 annotated link's talk. I just stopped to eat and watch a movie; the pizza was good, but Cell (film) was meh. Fun fact; {{lang-fr}} and {{lang|fr}} make different outputs, but the former handles LTR/RTL text by default e.g. French: Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 00:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
