Disambiguation link notification for September 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph Carraro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SMU. 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:21, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Was intentional, hence "disambiguation needed" added too. Hamish59 (talk) 09:28, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Good work!
Thank you for all your good work fixing citations. Keep it up! - 2/0 (cont.) 01:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
|displayauthors=9 added incorrectly
In this edit, you added |displayauthors=9 to make an error message go away, but the original article has more than nine authors, so the proper fix is to either add |displayauthors=8 to replicate the existing display or click through to the source and add the remaining authors. The former is less work; the latter is more accurate. If you have made similar edits, can you please change the "9" to an "8" to avoid making it appear, inaccurately, as if there are nine and only nine authors? Thanks.
Also in that particular citation, authors were duplicated. All of the article's authors are listed in the |author= parameter already, so the citation is not accurate. I have fixed this one. Be careful out there; there's a lot of crazy stuff in citations. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, my mistake. I saw "last9=" and no "last10=" so thought there was only 9 authors. I did not realize / spot that "author=" was being used also. Redundant, surely? Hamish59 (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, redundant, but the larger point applies to your other similar edits. If there are nine authors listed, you can't assume that displaying all nine is the correct way to fix the error message. The citation template was previously limited to nine authors, but it is no longer limited. That means that three ways to fix the error message are valid: add
|displayauthors=8to replicate the existing display (without checking the original source to see if it has more than nine authors); click through to the source, see that there are more than nine authors, and add the remaining authors; or click through to the source, see that there are exactly nine authors, and add|displayauthors=9(or use a larger number). It's your choice, but one of those should be chosen, as far as I can tell. Simply adding|displayauthors=9is not a valid choice, as it often misrepresents the number of authors in the source.

- Thanks for cleaning up these error messages. We are close to the point where we can get rid of this error message and its tracking category entirely. It once had about 12,000 articles in it; I cleaned up over 11,000 of them using manual editing and a little help from Citation Bot. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:05, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Was I mistaken? Is Riak 2.0.0 not released yet? Michaelmalak (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
Hello,
Apologies, I ma new to this game!
You recently deleted an edit I made regarding the 'tie-up' between HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) and Heart of Midlothian FC as it 'did not appear constructive'
Whilst one element of my edit was childish (and should not have been added)I feel that the formalising of Heart of Midlothian as the official Football Club is relevant to the page which will be marked by the official exchange of pennant on 8 November. A link is here: http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/3961
May this deletion be reconsidered?
Many thanks

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article 2005–06 European Challenge Cup pool stage, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:30, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
