Rewrite of Construction Photography page

The current Construction Photography page is spam. The page is written like an advertisement. I've attempted to re-write it for the genre of Construction Photography. The current page has references that are broken, forwarded to other stock image sites, and is not a page about actual construction photography. Please review the latest addition and help make it better. It was removed and a discussion is needed on this page. Thanks. 71.224.205.150 (talk) 18:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the article should not be about the company, then the best course of action is a deletion discussion. Additionally a new article can be started titled Construction photography (lowercase p) using the content you wrote. However, unilaterally changing the subject of an article is not a valid resolution to any of the issues you listed. Cerebral726 (talk) 18:19, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that sounds like a good method to create something based on the actual genre of photography that I believe would be more valuable to people looking for information on the topic. Can you help create that page? 71.224.205.150 (talk) 19:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary Revert

Don't use revert for unnecessary small things such as a spelling error. Sometimes spelling errors happen. Just fix it. That's part of what Wikipedia is about. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 09:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree, I also didn't think the piping was entirely necessary. On top of the introduced error, I decided to revert it. I didn't feel that strongly about it though and I'm fine with you reinstating it with the fix. I totally agree with you stating that reverts shouldn't be strictly for a spelling error, which is what my change summary indicated, so my apologies for that. Cerebral726 (talk) 14:44, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't meant to vandalise.

I am sorry if you we're annoyed by my actions. I didn't mean to vandalise it. I thought it looked good if all teams were uniformal. So, I am sorry.

Sertyt (talk) 15:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do not worry about that, it's obvious you were trying to improve the page. Please see MOS:GEOLINK for guidance on the proper format for city links. Cerebral726 (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Formula One page revisions

Hi I have made some small revisions to the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship page . On Red Bulls win percentage the Alfa Romeo statistic is worthy because they won every race in 1950 they entered . The only one they didn't win was a race they didn't enter also please be more patient with my edits as i'm slow at completing them anI can be quite slow.--Stewikiaman1 (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert yourself and start a talk page discussion. You are violating edit warring guidelines, as you have been informed on your talk page. The note you are trying to add is overly detailed and WP:CRUFT-y, so no amount of further work (including adding a relevant source, which is also missing) is likely to sway me without reaching consensus first.

Minor edits on Ginkgo Biloba

Hi there, I think that this edit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1191698802 Is warranted according to MOS:NUMERAL.

Here's my explanation of the same edit that Ive quoted from my talk page:

Changing "three" to "3" where I did was supported by this section of Mos:NUMERAL: "Comparable values nearby one another should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7, and 32, but not ages were five, seven, and 32." I made this change to match the way that the paragraph started. It started with numbers used for billion figures, then it used a spelled out "three" in contrast to how the paragraph started. Uhhhum (talk) 23:52, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this edit is also warranted according to MOS:NUMERAL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1191698169

The article uses number format and abbreviated "cm" for centimeter descriptions throughout the article leading up to this point.

I recently received a talk page comment by another editor of the Ginkgo page, and advised to pay close attention to the MOS. I want to better understand the MOS, and if I'm misunderstanding it or not seeing the reason why these edits were reverted, I would be grateful if you would explain it to me. Thank you.

A calendar-esque page of fun facts!

Hey Cerebral726! Hope you are having a good New Years Eve eve. I have been (slowly) filling up a list of unusual anniversaries on my userpage and I'd love to include any additions you might have. Wishing you a great 2024 and an auspicious hatsuyume! Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year! I'll look through and see if I can add anything! Very fun list so far. Cerebral726 (talk) 19:48, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment removal

After I had posted that particular comment, I realized that it was "less than neutral" so I quickly blanked it out and replaced everything with the word "resolved". I was wondering how I could delete my post in the future because I would've if I saw an option like that. freepalestine (talk) 21:11, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I appreciate you realizing that and removing it. While you cannot remove it from the page's history or your editing history (except in rare situations), you don't need to worry about it as long as you continue to work to edit from a WP:NPOV.

ITN recognition for Bob Moore (American food executive)

On 14 February 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Bob Moore (American food executive), which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Step hen 23:49, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Hi @Cerebral726, first of all I hope your day is going well. Personally I agree with you about the alphabetical ordering on the 2024 F1 Academy season and I believe some of the comments made by MSport1005 in the Edit summary and on the talk page WP:UNCIVIL, even if not they are rude. Just to let you know I have opened a dispute on the matter which can be found here Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#2024_F1_Academy_season. Please add any necessary comments. LouisOrr27 (talk) 23:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found their explanations of teams vs constructors and the examples given convincing. Despite the lack of civility, I'm not sure it's worth continuing the discussion, as it seems to be the most common format. Cerebral726 (talk) 23:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if no consensus can be reached and it does stay the same, hopefully they learn not to be rude, authoritarian, and aggressive. LouisOrr27 (talk) 23:23, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the main reason for me opening the dispute was because of the WP:UNCIVIL behaviour. Thanks for your response, and yes I too found the response convincing even though in my opinion listing by number doesn't make sense. LouisOrr27 (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I've been around a while, but there's always more to learn about the MOS. Thanks for this edit, which pointed me to MOS:AMPM. Of course there's such an entry (the MOS covers all sorts of minutiae), but I freely admit I couldn't have said exactly where. Grandpallama (talk) 18:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, sure thing! I'm always just searching WP:SomeThingThatTheresGottaBeARedirectFor and I'm usually pleasantly rewarded with exactly what I'm looking for. I had always seen lowercase pm, and figured it had to be a thing. Happy editing! Cerebral726 (talk) 18:11, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You think it's a familiar face?

Hey. I noticed that you reverted the edit by User:GymratW on the San Diego page. I'm starting to have a feeling that it might be another sock of someone we already know: User:Becausewhynothuh?. I've started an SPI investigation once again on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Becausewhynothuh?, so if you want to reply, my report is there. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:49, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The editing style is pretty distinct, I agree. Thanks for making the report. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm sure they have the WP:COI with these articles. Goody. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean they have a WP:Conflict of Interest? Seems unlikely they do given the diversity of locations. They likely just have a feeling they are correct about how infoboxes should look, and are unable to not edit war over it. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:55, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, they are editing the same cities that we used to revert them over, so I'm not clearly sure, but they might be a sock. Let's see what happens in my report. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:58, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I just think labeling it as a WP:COI might cause some confusion, as that is an entirely separate issue from being a sockpuppet, and unlikely to be true. You may want to remove that term, and just focus on the fact that their editing patterns are very similar. Cerebral726 (talk) 14:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed on that. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 14:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Bob Moore (executive)

On 25 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bob Moore (executive), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Bob Moore did not found Bob's Red Mill until after his first retirement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bob Moore (American food executive). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Bob Moore (executive)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	Thanks for improving and expanding upon my edits to the tokens plot on Monopoly. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 20:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Osubuckeyeguy: Thanks for your kind words! Who doesn't love an opportunity to use a Wikipedia timeline!-- Cerebral726 (talk) 14:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis Hamilton

Seek consensus on talk page before amending Lede.

Thank you Koppite1 (talk) 12:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "protocol" that requires me to gain consensus before changing the lead. Now that you have reverted, obviously the next thing to do is to discuss on the talk page, but there is no requirement to do so first on this article. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commas

Hello! Thank you so much for the work you did on my Ashely Nora and Amiah Mims article. I noticed that you edited a lot of the commas and punctuation surrounding my quotes. It is common practice in the United States to put commas and punctuation before the closing of the quote. I am not normally the grammar police, but I thought maybe it was a cultural difference and that I should bring it to your attention. Thank you again for all your contributions to the articles I wrote! Ssafder (talk) 13:48, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:INOROUT, my corrections are the preferred style on Wikipedia. Cerebral726 (talk) 22:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I did not realize that, thank you! Ssafder (talk) 13:20, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing! Thanks for your phenomenal contributions by the way. As a lover of the Indy-area art scene, I really appreciate you writing these articles. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! The more I research and learn about Indy art scene the more appreciation I have for it! Ssafder (talk) 16:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
