We noticed though that when you edited [[China Organic Valley]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Gucheng County]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== Comma in 'As of' template ==
Hi Wavelength. <br />
Just wanted to point out that the comma you put after 2015 in the {{tlx|As of}} template [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2015_Washington_state_wildfires&diff=678023716&oldid=678023009 '''here'''], is not needed and actually put the page in a ''non-existent'' category, '[[:Articles containing potentially dated statements from 2015,]]'. The date was ''already'' in 'US' ([[Mdy date|MDY]]) style.

== Directory edits reverted ==
{{thread retitled|Hi}}

I noticed that you reverted my edits on the wikiproject council page and on [[WP:WikiProject Directory]]. The first one you reverted was an accident on my part so im sorry about that but [[WP:Directory]] has a link to [[WP:WikiProject Directory]] so I wanted to add a link to that page as a sort of back button. I am working on cleaning up the multiple directories and making an easier user interface for them so please dont revert my edit on the latter page if I make it again. It is nice to meet you. [[User:Tortle|Tortle]] ([[User talk:Tortle|talk]]) 02:38, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

:[[User:Tortle|Tortle]], I have seen the record of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Tortle your contributions], and every edit seems to be without an edit summary.  For guidance on edit summaries, please see [[Help:Edit summary]].  Also, it seems that many of your edits are test edits with little or no benefit.  For guidance on test edits, please see [[Wikipedia:Test edit]] and [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]].
:—[[User:Wavelength|Wavelength]] ([[User talk:Wavelength#top|talk]]) 02:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

::Hi again, I always forget to add edit summaries and sometimes I am in a rush to make edits quickly as to provide less disruption due to the construction so I dont add them. I redid my help edit with a length edit summary explaining my changes. And I know to use my sandbox and they arent test edits. I am simply trying to organize the directories and provide a better look. I took on this project because I was having trouble navigating and I wanted to adjust things to be more user friendly. You might think that the edits have little benefit because they are formatting and not adding content but I feel the benefit. I know what I am doing, I was on Wikipedia with a different account some years back and I still have the hang of it.

Hello Wavelength,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Dictionary Stories]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

== Categorisation ==

Appreciate your help with the [[Wikipedia:Database reports/Uncategorized categories|uncategorised categories]], it's one of those boring jobs that just has to be done, and the more people doing it the easier it becomes. One request though - 90% of category names are in two parts, and you can usually generalise both halves to form a parent category. So for instance, {{cl|Women cardiologists}} can go into {{cl|Cardiologists}} and {{cl|Women physicians}}. Also, you can often clone categories from similar ones - so I was able to clone the categories for {{cl|Wind farms in Uganda}} from {{cl|Wind farms in Kenya}}. Anyway, keep up the good work.

== Deletion discussion ==

Wavelength – This is offered as a bit of collegial advice. I hope you will take it in that spirit; you are also free to ignore it.

You are clearly passionate about the discussion at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of multilingual websites]]. That's good. I am a professor of linguistics, so you don't have to work very hard to convince me that multilingualism is an important aspect of life and society.

At the same time, though, you've made a lot of comments, many of them quite lengthy. Doing so might not have the effect you are hoping for. As the essay [[Wikipedia:Wall of text]] suggests, "the longer it [a discussion] is, the less of it people will read." You've made some good points, and may have more to make, but I would caution you against repeating yourself or giving the impression that you are trying to control the discussion.

That is not to say that you cannot make multiple comments, and I certainly don't want to dissuade you from making every relevant argument. It is, as I say, offered as advice about tone and tactics. And I hope my own tone doesn't come across as condescending. Best wishes and happy editing, [[User:Cnilep|Cnilep]] ([[User talk:Cnilep|talk]]) 02:55, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

:Thank you for your concern.  I have endeavored to refute every objection, because otherwise an objection might be thought to be irrefutable.  Even just one objection thought to be irrefutable might be sufficient for deletion if the closing editor is not aware that it can be refuted.  If no other commenter refutes it, then I am somewhat in a dilemma.

== Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 ==

{{thread retitled|Hello. Help, please}}

I saw you recently edited on [[Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006]] (AB 32), and you have been contributing here for over ten years.  Thank you.  

Maybe you can help me, or send me in the right direction.   I added an exacting internally referenced citation about the continuation of AB32-related legislation (SB 32, which the California Assembly and Senate [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB32 passed last week]; and the AB 197 companion bill), see inline reference from above mentioned citation.

From some inexplicable reason the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_Warming_Solutions_Act_of_2006&diff=736963228&oldid=736962473 addition was reverted] with a perplexing edit summary of "contributes nothing and appears to be WP:FRINGE".  There are no theories mentioned, let alone fringe ones.  

Even though we had a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Karrotcobbler&action=history quasi-productive] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Zackmann08&oldid=735135403 interaction] previously; maybe User:Zackmann08 was thrown-off by the title of the citation without even looking at the content?  

Maybe my word-smithing was lacking at the AB32 article?  Could you use your experience to help?  [[Special:Contributions/69.58.42.90|69.58.42.90]] ([[User talk:69.58.42.90|talk]]) 17:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

== ExxonMobil climate change controversy, help? ==

Maybe you could help clear-up some confusion again, this time at [[ExxonMobil climate change controversy]]?

An editor deleted what seems to be a well-sourced sentence about [[global warming]] and just left a comment "not about climate change"?  

Reference examples:
*titled "A New Debate Over Pricing the Risks of Climate Change"
*titled "SEC Probes Exxon Over Accounting for Climate Change"
*an excerpt from another reference "Environmentalists cheered the S.E.C. inquiry in hopes that regulators were escalating their enforcement on the oil and gas industry to include more rigorous reporting to investors on the potential risks of [[climate change]] to their businesses."
*and another reference excerpt "An added twist is that the SEC is also reportedly interested in how Exxon factors potential carbon regulations into how it values its reserves, dovetailing neatly with several state investigations into whether the oil major covered up knowledge about the impact of climate change."

While I understand my wording choice is open to modification, I don't understand how it is "not about climate change".  The editor didn't leave anything on [[Talk:ExxonMobil climate change controversy]].  I left them a message on [[User talk:Beagel#ExxonMobil climate change controversy, "not about climate change"?|their talk page, without a response]].  And left a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:William_M._Connolley&diff=741783287&oldid=740787617 message] at another "involved editor", but he appears to be offline.

Am I missing something?  [[Special:Contributions/69.58.42.90|69.58.42.90]] ([[User talk:69.58.42.90|talk]]) 18:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

:You [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ExxonMobil_climate_change_controversy&type=revision&diff=741508122&oldid=741479343 added] the following text: "In September 2016, the [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission|Securities and Exchange Commission]] requested information from ExxonMobil on the company’s longstanding policy of not writing down the value of oil reserves, as other energy companies have done in the recent past."

== The perils of automation .. ==

I'm not sure this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babughat&diff=prev&oldid=774518729 was an improvement. [[User:Philip Trueman|Philip Trueman]] ([[User talk:Philip Trueman|talk]]) 01:06, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

:I have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babughat&type=revision&diff=774519813&oldid=774518729 revised] that article again.—[[User:Wavelength|Wavelength]] ([[User talk:Wavelength#top|talk]]) 01:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

==Log in to==
Back in 2013 [[User talk:Wavelength/Archive 5|you admitted]] that:
:''"Google reported 25,700,000 results for "log into", and 4,130,000,000 results for "log in to", the ratio being about 1 to 160, but I consider the latter version to be contrary to logic"''. 
What? It matters not a whit what ''you'' consider logical - this is after all English we're discussing - but what standard common usage by fluent speakers is. And that seem clear. Very annoying to see that you're still doing these edits years later. [[User:Snori|Snori]] ([[User talk:Snori|talk]]) 02:03, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

:I resumed after I discovered https://www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/log+into.html.  (The expression "log in to" can be followed by an [[infinitive]].)  Similar pages for other phrasal verbs are listed at [[User:Wavelength/About English/Expressions "into" and "in to"#Phrasal verbs]].

== Quack websites ==

WOuld you mind awfully not including quack websites on your link list? I review links to mercola, Natural News and others periodically and it takes far longer than it should because I have to scan large numbers of non-mainspace links in the lists. One day they might restore the namespace selector in [[special:linksearch]] but until then the proliferation of links to these charlatans and scammers makes life harder. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 23:24, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

:Firstly, different editors may differ as to what they consider to be quack websites.  Secondly, where is there a policy forbidding links to quack websites?  Thirdly, after undoing your changes to three subpages in my user namespace, I decided to remove the affected entries altogether, for the sake of peace.  
:*[[User:Wavelength/About health/General health reference]]
:*[[User:Wavelength/About science]]
:*[[User:Wavelength/About society/Secrets]]
:Fourthly, I noticed in the history of your contributions that you even edited some archive pages of [[User talk:Jimbo Wales]], although editors are instructed not to edit archive pages.  Fifthly, because I do not know your criteria for identifying a "quack website", I can not be certain that there is not a link to another one in my userspace.  Sixthly, is it difficult to skip over non-mainspace links in the link search?
:—[[User:Wavelength|Wavelength]] ([[User talk:Wavelength#top|talk]]) 23:42, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
::: Editors may differ, but there is robust consensus that these are not reliable sources. 
::: To your specific point, incredibly, yes it is. For a while we had the ability to filter linksearch by namespace, but it was removed from the interface. It's still in the API, it exists in AWB, but the only way to police them right now is to plough through the whole list. And for some of these sites that list has been a thousand or more links long at some points in the past. Also note I did not remove them, I unlinked them and left a small template indicating why the link is not useful. No information loss.
::: I can now see all the outbound links on a single pages of [[Special:Linksearch]]. That means I can review and remove new ones in minutes rather than taking half an hour or more. I actually have no problem with you or anyone maintaining lists of sources, as long as they don't include links to sites that fail [[WP:RS]] and which require constant monitoring to remove new references - Natural News, Mercola, Foodbabe, the Townsend Letter, Infowars and many others. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 07:00, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

::::I have never used [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser]] or any other Wikipedia tool ([[:Category:Wikipedia tools]]), but I am able to make human decisions about which search results to skip.  (Please see [[#Spelling of "led"]].)  According to Google, my performance in doing repetitive tasks seems to resemble that of an automated program.  (Please see the last six lines of commentary at [[User talk:Wavelength/Archive 5#Verbs followed by "into"]].)  It seems to me that almost any editor of average intelligence can develop a similar performance.  Are you unable to skip over non-mainspace links in the link search list, or is [[WP:AWB]] like a fast-moving train that is difficult or impossible to stop for exceptions?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Illegal drug trade]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Global Research]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 09:48, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

== Two-shortcut rule ==

Hello, Wavelength.  Earlier today, you reverted my addition of a third shortcut to a section of [[WP:Manual of Style]].  I wasn't aware of the two-shortcut rule and I appreciate being told about it.  But I noticed that the same page contains many shortcut boxes that appear to violate the rule, with some of them containing as many as five or six shortcuts.  Can you point me to some guidance or discussions that address the scope of the two-shortcut rule (i.e., when it must be followed and when not)?  Thanks again for your assistance.

== Help request for ''Hansjörg Wyss'' ==

Hello Wavelength! I'm working on the [[Hansjörg Wyss]] article again to make a few minor updates (essentially adding information that's been published over the last few years). Any interest in taking a look? Your help is always appreciated. 
*New material is in draft form [[User:Heatherer/Hansjorg_Wyss_updates|here]]
*Differences from current article highlighted {{Diff|User:Heatherer/Hansjörg Wyss|777492356|777491099|here}}
*Talk page note with a bit more explanation is [[Talk:Hansjörg_Wyss#Article_updates|here]]

== Just, wow! Plus other words. ==

Wow, [[User:Wavelength|Wavelength]], I came here to tell you that you are SO amazing because the randomly picked [[Wikipedia:THANK|Thanks]] notifications were ''not'' '''enough''', and lo! I clicked on {{section link|User talk:Wavelength#TAFI: Marie Serneholt}} randomly and saw yet even more text that shows your amazingness even until today. Your Edit summaries and User page set-up are simply the apex of joint usability and conciseness. ... That's an apex I don't think I'll ever come close to on my own, of course... Heh!

If I were [[Wikipedia:WikiLove|WikiLovingly]] capable of [[Airlift|airlifting]] you a [[:c:capra|goat]]-sized, [[:c:barnstar|barnstar]]-shaped [[:c:cookie|cookie]] with icing in the shape of  a [[maneki neko]] and a [[caption]] of my own invention on it, I would do so right now, futher delaying my nap. And lo! maybe you'd know the rule I remember partially from ''[[The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: The Ultimate Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed]]'' by [[Karen Elizabeth Gordon]] that has long led me to believe that after "lo!" mid-sentence, one can or should use a lower-case initial letter as the interjection does not mark the end of the sentence. Since I read that in the early 1990s or so, I still seek [[corroboration]].

A tag has been placed on [[:The Dorito Effect]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:The Dorito Effect|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Category:Postal system of the Maldives]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:Postal system of the Maldives]] indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:Postal system of the Maldives|visiting the page]] and removing the speedy deletion tag. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Explicit|<span style="color:#000000">✗</span>]][[User talk:Explicit|<span style="color:white;background:black;font-family:felix titling;font-size:80%">plicit</span>]] 14:54, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
