Speedy deletion nomination of MPEG Licensing Administration

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as MPEG Licensing Administration, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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 removed 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's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for July 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited VP9, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Container format. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

REFPUNCT

Please discuss any Manual of Style changes to the talk page of WP:REFPUNCT. The bot only applies the current Manual of Style. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 18:38, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear! You don't understand at all, do you?.. I'm not talking changes to WP:REFPUNCT, I think I applied it correctly and you destroy it in this case.--Flugaal (talk) 18:48, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bgwhite can you please help me out here? -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:50, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be the third person to say the same thing. The bot's edit was correct. It moved a period from after the ref to before the ref. Per WP:REFPUNCT, Any punctuation (see exceptions below) must precede the ref tags. If you are talking about something else, you haven't mentioned what it is. Saying "destroy" is overblown and completely unnecessary. Bgwhite (talk) 20:05, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It destroys the logic I built into it. Can you actually follow my logic? I think it is pointless to just assume something and actually talk at cross purposes. I'd like to get to the point where we can talk about my interpretation and assumption regarding cited rule. That would get us (or maybe just me) closer to finding out whether this bot is doing the right thing or whether we actually have a corner case here that this bot should respect.--Flugaal (talk) 20:51, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe someone should try to repeat in his own words what i want to say here..?--Flugaal (talk) 20:59, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have not stated your "logic" in your words here, just a bunch of adjectives. All articles on English Wikipedia follow REFPUNCT, you have not stated why you are the only one not having to follow it. Two most common reason to not follow REFPUNCT and have been rejected:

I'm following style [insert math, physics, law, etc]. Every discipline has their own style, but this is Wikipedia's style
I'm only referencing part of sentence. Doesn't matter. Having ref at the end doesn't mean one is only referencing the entire sentence(s). Reference can apply to part or all.

Please use colons to "mark off" you statements. Bgwhite (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Magioladitis split the discussion between User talk:Yobot#VP8 and here. Please read up.--Flugaal (talk) 21:15, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. #2 is an actual answer for me. Thanks, Bgwhite, I hope you're right. I think i've had cases where people deleted stuff because of a situation like this.--Flugaal (talk) 21:21, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the edit in question: [1]. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Flugaal said that "The punctuation after ref was completely intentional. It does not cover the whole sentence, just the word before.". -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
