Hypothesis of everything listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hypothesis of everything. Since you had some involvement with the Hypothesis of everything redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Cut-and-paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Circumstellar disk a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Circumstellar disc. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Circumstellar disc

Hi, if you change the spelling of a work in an article, such as with this edit, make sure not to change the spelling within references (e.g. article titles). Thanks, Gap9551 (talk) 23:36, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your requests at WP:RMTR

Hello User:Are you freaking kidding me. The capitalization of 'universe' has been extensively discussed. If you want to reopen that question, you may consider posting at WT:MOSCAPS. A specific discussion was held last April at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 18#Request for comment - Capitalise universe. For now, I am declining these as technical moves, since they are obviously controversial. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:45, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a link to corresponding discussion at MOS: [1]. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 16:48, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Are you freaking kidding me. Administrator EdJohnston suggested you could take this to WT:MOSCAPS. You didn't. Instead you have been changing "universe" to "Universe" in many articles, for example in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Science, Cosmological principle. Could you please heed Isambard Kingdom's warning that "there is plenty of emotion about this issue", stop, and agree that your edits are unsustainable? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you did not reply, I felt it was best (before too many intervening edits occur) to revert some of the changes. This does not mean that I know better, and I added to each edit summary "... ask on WT:MOSCAPS if you disagree". Peter Gulutzan (talk) 23:52, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, they're still at it. Drmies (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"concepts"

I've started this discussion of one of your edits. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have created an isolated exception to this pattern. In many of these cases it would be silly to say that all of the _things_ are _concepts_, and it is at best questionable in the case of Euler. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:15, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your campaign of mass changes to the capitalization of 'universe'

Hello User:Are you freaking kidding me. Beginning with this edit you've started a new campaign of capitalizing 'universe' across multiple articles. Another one was here at Cosmography. You need to stop this and wait for consensus. If you don't do so I am planning to block your account. The problem was drawn to your attention earlier on this page in User talk:Are you freaking kidding me#Your requests at WP:RMTR. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:36, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, see here. Drmies (talk) 04:44, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you kidding me? I was reverting your changes. I thought we weren't changing the capitalization until a consensus reached. It was upper case originally, you kept changing it (without any reason besides "sorry, no"), so I reverted it. Don't pin the blame on me, instead give a logical reason as to why you changed it. --Are you freaking kidding me (talk) 04:56, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- As for EdJohnston, please check the history of the article before taking action. As you can see, the article clearly used an uppercase "Universe" before User:Drmies's edits. Almost hypocritically, he changes the case, with literally no reason besides "lower case", and complains when I attempt to revert it. I assumed you didn't want anyone changing the capitalization until a consensus was reached. If I was wrong, I apologize, I reverted his edits with your warning in mind. --Are you freaking kidding me (talk) 05:16, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, but what about Cosmography? With this edit you changed a long-standing lower case spelling 'universe' to upper case. EdJohnston (talk) 05:29, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I haven't touched it since you warned me today; instead, I asked about it here. --Are you freaking kidding me (talk) 05:31, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about renaming lists to include known

Hi, in case you have not noticed, a discussion about whether to reverse your moves, and to remove "known" from the list of known ... articles is taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy#Many 'List of...' moved to 'List of known...'. You may wish to talk about it there. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Googology

See Talk:Large numbers#Googology and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 January 5#Googology. Feel free to invite anyone who can provide evidence that the term is used. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please include an edit summary on all edits

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. There are a lot of rules and they're not all in one place, unfortunately, so the learning curve is more like a staircase of deep steps. One of them is Help:Edit summary#Always provide an edit summary. A user who does not use the edit summary can be seen as either careless, or trying to hide their edits, or both. To avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, you can select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the Editing tab of your user preferences. Wikipedia:Edit summary legend might help, too. Thanks, and happy editing. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 15:27, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This, this, and this, made yesterday and today, to Laniakea Supercluster are exactly what I'm talking about. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 05:42, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Must I provide an edit summary for very small changes like those? That'd be obnoxiously time-consuming, since I was mass-editing a bunch of articles. When I actually add content, I usually provide edit summaries. AYFKM (talk) 12:42, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you should provide an edit summary even for very small, and in this case very controversial, changes like those, because it's more time-consuming for all page watchers to see what you've done. That's why it's called Always provide an edit summary; please read it, and don't try to hide your edits. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
