Question from Nist2024 (18:16, 31 July 2024)

Hello Martin, its a pleasure. I don't have any questions right now but appreciate your outreach. --Nist2024 (talk) 18:16, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Canuck2024 (18:28, 1 August 2024)

Hi Martin! I'm new to Wikipedia and would certainly benefit and appreciate your expertise. I tried setting up a new article, "PesoRama", however it's since been rejected because it didn't have enough 'credible references'. I'm confused because it's a publicly traded company in Canada with 23 stores. Same business model as Dollarama.

Can you please help?

Thank you!! Canuck2024 --Canuck2024 (talk) 18:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

You can continue to work on the draft at Draft:PesoRama. If it is a notable company then you should be able to provide multiple references to reliable sources. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from NotACommittee (21:10, 5 August 2024)

Hi! I'm trying to correct the name of a US Air Force unit on their page National Air and Space Intelligence Center. There's an anonymous user that reverts changes back to a previous name and initialism. I don't want to get into an edit war...I've put a note on the talk page, but there's no change...I edit, they undo with no explanation. Any suggestions? --NotACommittee (talk) 21:10, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

I have left a note on their talk page asking them to explain their actions — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Makes sense...Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it. NotACommittee (talk) 21:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

It happened again, so I have applied some protection to that article — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:20, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Rebecca Hermosillo

Hello, MSGJ. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Rebecca Hermosillo, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:06, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from WikiWonka888! (22:08, 14 August 2024)

Hey Martin. I spent some time making a page about some filmmakers I know who are career "directing duo". Now ideally their two individual pages would redirect to their "duo" page. Do you know how to make that happen? It's harder than I thought, and now the pages are a bit redundant. Thanks! It's Siegel & McGehee vs. David Siegel and Scott McGehee --WikiWonka888! (talk) 22:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Can I ask if they are famous just for the work they did together? Or did they ever do anything noteworthy independently? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

It looks likeAt a casual glance, it looks like only Life of the Party (2018 film) is different, but this is not mentioned in the film's article — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Your revert

You reverted my edit here [1] with the reason “please stop using the faulty script” I am a WP:AFC reviewer I have no control over what scripts do when I accept a draft. Theroadislong (talk) 15:32, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

@Theroadislong the responsibility for edits made using an automated tool or script lie with the user making them. In this case the script is making faulty edits, so you either need to manually review and correct every edit that it makes, or you should stop using the tool. But I have heard that a fix is in the pipeline, so hopefully this will be resolved soon — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

You need to stop now and undo all your reverts of this nature! There is a bot that cleans this up and it can't do its job if you revert. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#Assigning_WikiProjects_to_Articles. ~Kvng (talk) 14:16, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Please take responsibility for your edits, otherwise I will continue to revert — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Really? I'm not quick to go to ANI with stuff like this but several editors have already identified this as disruptive. ~Kvng (talk) 15:14, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I think reverting to an incorrect format, which you have already been advised is incorrect, would be seen as disruptive, no? You are welcome to include the banner in the correct place, and I will not touch it — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:17, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Well yes, I don't want to be disruptive. That's why I've dropped out of this edit war. The bot is working now and the problems will be fixed if you undo your reverts. I could go an fix the talk page where we're warring but I'm not sure where else this situation exists. If you do not undo your reverts, potentially important information added by AFC reviewers will be lost. ~Kvng (talk) 15:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Luciuswhite on User:Cambalachero (16:40, 22 August 2024)

Hallo. I added descriptions for a fictional work's plot, but they were heavily shortened. I would like some aid in including my previous details in a streamlined fashion. --Luciuswhite (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Clovermoss

How did you do this? I'm trying to understand other projects better and I assume this means you connected it with a wikidata item, but the actual process confuses me a bit. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Clovermoss. Unfortunately it is not possible to connect a draft article to a Wikidata item (although I have argued several times that this would be useful). So instead you can add the |qid=Q113793155 parameter to associate it with item. Once it has been moved to mainspace and a connected properly to the Wikidata item, this parameter is ignored — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Template:Authority control issue

Hello. One of your changes to Template:Authority control (well, one of the Module pages related to this) has introduced a syntax error. On Template:Authority control, it's claiming it's a stripped li tag, but on the 750+ pages using this template, they are crying about a missing span and a stripped span tag error each. Would you have a second look at your changes related to this? Thanks. Zinnober9 (talk) 02:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I will certainly look into this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I think I have fixed Template:Authority control. Can you give me an example of a page with a missing span tag? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. I can confirm the template is clean from the li error now. No other "claimed" syntax errors on the Template:Authority control page. I've purged the template page, and purged a few of the articles, but that hasn't cleared any of the span issues yet, so guessing it's an issue within a conditional statement and that state isn't present on the template page. This list, and this list have some pages to chose from that are reporting the missing/stripped span errors from the use of this template (universities, libraries, museums, and hospitals seem to be common themes). Zinnober9 (talk) 20:28, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Think all of those should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:02, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Yep, all good here now! Thank you so much! Zinnober9 (talk) 07:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
