Bolding

[edit]

Joefromrandb, you are welcome to redlink names if you like, but please do not bold names. Please see WP:MOSBOLD for more information. Bolding is used for the subject of an article, in the lede of the article. Thank you. I am now going to remove the bolding. Softlavender (talk) 07:12, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What about WP:MOSBOLD, or are you just making up policy like you tried to do at the AfD? Joefromrandb (talk) 07:19, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:MOSBOLD:
  • Boldface is ... only for certain uses.
  • The most common use of boldface is to highlight the first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article (and often its synonyms) in the lead section, as well as terms that are redirected to the article or its sub-sections.
  • Use boldface in the remainder of the article only in a few special cases
  • Avoid using boldface for emphasis in article text.

Yes? What's your point? Joefromrandb (talk) 07:35, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bolding names in the List article does not follow WP:MOSBOLD and is inappropriate bolding. Softlavender (talk) 07:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In what way? Nothing you've posted here supports that claim.Joefromrandb talk) 07:52, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the text I quoted above, and/or the entire WP:MOSBOLD. Below I will emphasize the relevant passages of the parts I quoted:
  • Boldface is ... only for certain uses.
  • The most common use of boldface is to highlight the first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article (and often its synonyms) in the lead section, as well as terms that are redirected to the article or its sub-sections.
  • Use boldface in the remainder of the article only in a few special cases
  • Avoid using boldface for emphasis in article text.
This is the last time I will respond to what is essentially the same question. Softlavender (talk) 08:01, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not "essentially" the same question, it's exactly the same question. I see you're still unable to answer it. Surely you're not considering list-entries "article text". Joefromrandb (talk) 08:10, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Joefromrandb: @Softlavender: has explained that MOS:BOLD does not support the bolding in this article. Could you please explain why you are bolding the names of the commanders; The list in the MOS says in certain cases and these are listed
  • Article title terms: first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article (and often its synonyms) in the lead section, as well as terms that are redirected to the article or its sub-sections.- This does not apply
  • Automatically applied boldface- This does not apply
  • Other uses : Terms that are the subject of redirects to the article or section- This does not apply. Mathematical object- this does not apply. In some citation formats, for the volume number of a journal or other multi-volume works- this does not apply.
If you cannot explain why they are bolded then please do not revert the edits that apply the MOS correctly. I believe that you may be confusing Bolding with redlinking. If you consider that these people are notable enough to have their own WP pages and that is why you want them to stand out then you can WP:REDLINK them but you must consider creating the articles rapidly afterwards. Please also remember that you do not WP:OWN pages that you have edit and that the reasoning behind the modifications by Softlavender are solid and backed up by the manual of style.

No, Softlavendar hasn't "explained" anything, but enjoy your little game. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:38, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bolding of the commander's names is an obvious violation of the MOS. Joefromrandb, please stop wasting the time of other editors on this. Zerotalk 11:08, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck off. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Joefromrandb: come on that's puerile, you may want to read WP:CIVILITY again. Domdeparis (talk) 13:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it certainly was puerile, hence my response. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:46, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, I forgot that you pretend to be obtuse sometimes...Your response was puerile following a perfectly reasonable comment by @Zero0000:. Domdeparis (talk) 13:58, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes indeed. Passive-aggressive trolling at its finest. Joefromrandb (talk) 19:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why is everyone a troll for you? You are writing things on pages that are on my watchlist and your incivility offends me because I also told you that the bolding was incorrect so when you tell someone to "fuck off" because they are saying the same thing as me I sort of feel that I was the target too. At least no-one could accuse you about being passive with your aggressiveness. Domdeparis (talk) 21:53, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bingo! If you had been "the target too", I would have told you to fuck off, which I clearly did not. Way to stir the pot though. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
