On the nature of "requirements"

In re this edit summary, quoting from WP:RPLA, with my emphasis:

Normally, we try to make sure that all "inbound redirects" other than misspellings or other obvious close variants of the article title are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article or section to which the redirect goes. It will often be appropriate to boldface the redirected term at its first occurrence in the target, though insignificant or minor redirects can skip this.

On an unrelated note: you have an excellent 'nym, well done. --JBL (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 21:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Issue is if I don't, people who are redirected from the term "Unrestricted domain" will be confused. (This is a common terminology in social choice and mechanism design, where we often have to deal with restricted domains of preferences.) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:00, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

The dismal science

Most of your edit was probably improvements, but I couldn't figure out how to disentangle the technical fixes from the undesirable part of your edit, so I had to revert the whole edit. Carlyle's original meaning is NOT how the phrase has been commonly used over the past 150 years, so your edit to the lead section unfortunately emphasized exactly what should not be emphasized. AnonMoos (talk) 21:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

You can just restore my edited version, then copy/paste the old lead. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Discussion of your edits happening on r/EndFPTP subreddit

Are you aware that some election-method experts who participate in the r/EndFPTP subreddit are criticizing your edits here on Wikipedia?

https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/1g6h6pe/wikipedia_antivandalism/

(I haven't followed your edits here on Wikipedia, I'm just a messenger trying to increase collaboration.) VoteFair (talk) 02:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I am, unfortunately. This caused a huge kerfuffle over at the instant-runoff voting article since it violates the policies on canvasing. I had to relocate the RfC to a different page in an attempt to get a group of neutral politics+law editors to sort the naming out. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 05:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Proportionality for solid coalitions

Just FYI: the AfD hatnote in Proportionality for solid coalitions points to a nonexistent page. Викидим (talk) 05:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Max CA75 (16:26, 19 October 2024)

Hi, I have an Article about a Tribe of Inallu. I have proof that there are not plenty of resources about it. I had have referenced a blog that have work on it. I know the writer, he is a member of this Tribe and I am member of this tribe myself. --Max CA75 (talk) 16:26, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kedish lawson on Jada Pinkett Smith (21:39, 20 October 2024)

How do I make my edit to be valid? --Kedish lawson (talk) 21:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from CognitiveOP (16:55, 22 October 2024)

Hello! I recently submitted a full article. How long until the article is published on Wikipedia & what is the Wikipedia link to the article itself??

Thanks so much! --CognitiveOP (talk) 16:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, please check out WP:Articles for creation (AfC)! Right now it looks like the article is in your own personal sandbox. It needs to be submitted to AfC to be reviewed. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from CognitiveOP (22:06, 23 October 2024)

I have had my account for more than 4 days, it is verified, and I still can not move my wiki article to make it LIVE on wikipedia. What is going on here? --CognitiveOP (talk) 22:06, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, please submit your articles to WP:AfC for it to be reviewed. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:28, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Notice of Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Bold, or disruptive?. Thank you. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:34, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Closed Limelike Curves,

I think it would be wise for you to respond to the complaint at ANI and present your side of the story before this potentially evolves into a topic ban. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:46, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from WikiReviewFFAL (19:10, 24 October 2024)

I made an edit on a page but didn't realize that my IP address would be displayed until after the edit. I received a notice stating that if I registered and created a username, then the edit will no longer display my IP address; however, upon creating my account, my IP address is still visible on the edit. Does it take a few hours to update? --WikiReviewFFAL (talk) 19:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

New edits will no longer display your IP address, but any edits you made without logging-in will display the IP, unfortunately. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

If you're concerned about your personal information, you can ask for the edits to be supressed, i.e. completely deleted from the edit history. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 15:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Trxstic (11:04, 31 October 2024)

Hi!! I have a question about images and copyright, can you help? --Trxstic (talk) 11:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I would try checking out WP:COPYRIGHT and asking questions on the talk page there—they'll probably know more than me. (I mostly stick to text.) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Schulze Method

Please be careful with your edits. This one removed import contextual styling from all of the tables. Q ^{T C} 22:45, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Oof, thanks, and sorry for the mistake... I assume it was some kind of copy-paste error in the visual editor. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:48, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Nathanboring (16:10, 2 November 2024)

I started to edit by adding citations to some articles that had no sources. I came across the article on Yazali, Arunachal Pradesh. Upon Googling, a useful site seemed to be villageinfo . in (which seems to contain some basic census data about the village) But when I tried to create a citation, I was told that the site was blocked because it was considered unreliable by the community. In fact when I tried to post this message on your talk page, I found I couldn't do that because the site appears to be on some kind of Spam blacklist! For now, I added a citation from another Indian magazine. But how can I learn more about why this site was blocked or why it is considered unreliable? I don't care about this website in particular. I am asking with a view to understanding how the community classifies sources as reliable or unreliable. Thank you. --Nathanboring (talk) 16:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

You can search the archives over at WP:RSP. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:54, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from BHC FAN OF BALLOONS on List of hot air balloon festivals (21:12, 8 November 2024)

Hello, how do I add a new 1st annual event. 2024 Oct.? --BHC FAN OF BALLOONS (talk) 21:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Editing other people's comments

Regarding these edits [1] [2]: please don't modify other people's comments, particularly for minor formatting changes. There is no requirement to set any text in bold during a discussion, and it's more collaborative to respect the wishes of other editors with respect to their intended formatting. I appreciate your co-operation. isaacl (talk) 18:36, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I was under the impression this would fall under the "Fixing format/layout errors" exception on WP:TPO? I know bolding isn't an official requirement, but I figured labeling the !votes in bold text would make it easier for the closer to identify a consensus. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:58, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from 2025Newbie (19:15, 9 November 2024)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:2025Newbie/sandbox&redirect=no https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Amikam_Toren

Hi Lime, I’m an aspiring Wikipedia content creator and complete beginner. This is my first article and I welcome all criticism and advice on how I can improve. I still have some citations to source for this – these are marked by * in the text. What am I getting wrong about the ISBN’s cited here? My interests are Contemporary Art, Physics, Philosophy and Literature. --2025Newbie (talk) 19:15, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
