Edits to Daniel G. Reid

I was in the middle of cleaning the article and adding new citations. I lost everything because of your two small edits that had been opened while I was actively editing. I appreciate you were trying to help and clean this up but it added a lot of frustration on my end. Please be mindful if you see the error message about it being edited. Jooojay (talk) 09:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

There was no error message Jooojay. The only way to avoid what happened is to not put the bare url tag on an article until you are completely done editing it. I am sorry that you had to rework things but I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me over the years. Regards. MarnetteD|Talk 17:21, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

WP 20

Happy Wikipedia 20, - proud of a little bit on the Main page today, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago, look: create a new style - revive - complete! I sang in the revival mentioned. I kept a promise to self and just nominated BWV 1 for FAC. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for this message Gerda and a belated Happy New Year. Many congrats on this main page contribution and the previous ones as well. Hmmm every five years brings to mind the extraordinary documentary Up series directed (except for the first one) by Michael Apted. Sadly, he died last week. He directed a remarkably wide range of films and I will miss him. Best regards and have a nice weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 23:41, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, and today's Main page has a pic I took and a pointer at Osian Ellis who died, - couldn't believe he had no article in German. Changed of course. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:47, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Nice meeting you on the great actor's page. You vs. an IP: I knew where I stood, with little time to explore. I wish he'd return to his real name. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

I hadn't found the time to reply Gerda Arendt. My apologies. If it is who you suspect it is I agree. Best regards and have a nice Sunday. MarnetteD|Talk 00:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

El C and I talked about it a few bits more, in case of interest. Same pic. (but he archived) Nice Sunday for you, too. I'll have a DYK about a charming local church in the second set ) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Today: see Vision pictured (not by me), with Arik Brauer in the news, so art in Vienna twice --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Gerda. Interesting stuff and adds to my learning for the day. Sympathies to those who knew Brauer. It looks as though he lived a full and creative life. MarnetteD|Talk 17:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree. I never heard of him until he appeared in our Recent deaths. When I see someone speaking German there, or making music, I do what I can, - it's a field where you find great help from others - in this case Grimes2 - and rewarding: immediate attention. Amazing what the mentioning of just the name without context does for page views. - I wrote Ringturm because it was a red link for another (Serbian-)Austrian artist, Robert Hammerstiel, - great video at the end, but in German. Just to watch him talk may be worth it. - Tomorrow: Jerome Kohl, especially sad, - I never heard him talk, but we exchanged a lot here. He was the forth user I met here, and told me that a source was wrong, - a lesson for life ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Gosh I saw JK's name often but did not have his talk page on my watchlist so I completely missed his passing. Very sad news. The 'pedia is a lesser place with all these editors deaths. Thanks for all the other links as well Gerda. MarnetteD|Talk 17:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Agree again. We chatted about In Freundschaft, played in a concert dedicated to a friend of mine. Did you see his wonderful comment, after Stockhausen had commented that one's death and died very soon afterwards? - I just learned the word "solace" (for a DYK, of all places) - that comment gave me solace then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

	Pic of Fourth Doctor here previously. Thank you. ane more thing, are you an Otaku? Starkiryu64 (talk) 23:58, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

You are welcome Starkiryu64. While I enjoy anime and manga I would not consider myself an Otaku. As a youngster I watched shows like Gigantor, Prince Planet and Marine Boy but didn't know they were called anime :-) I am glad that you have such a passion for this story telling art form. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 01:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

But Gigantor, Prince Planet, and Marine Boy was anime but was heavily Americanized for American markets. For example, Gigantor was an adaptation of Tetsujin 28-go, and Marine Boy was Undersea Boy Marine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starkiryu64 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Happy inauguration day

Snowdrop carpet

Dear Michael,
I hope you are keeping well.
A month early for the snowdrops, but tempus fugit ...
Wishing for a Happy inauguration day.

Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Indeed it was extraordinary Gareth. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I suspect that I will never be as mature as Amanda Gorman is at 22 :-) MarnetteD|Talk 20:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Amanda Gorman is brilliant. She amazed me. Outstanding!
Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 20:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I must have missed that. I was working today and got home at 16:45 UTC (11:45 EST), thought "I've got time to make coffee between now and the oath", switched on the TV at 16:49 and Biden was already saying "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States". Eleven minutes early! I never heard of that happening before. But really good inauguration speech, I thought. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

It was nice to be talked to by an adult again Redrose64. The poem that Gorman wrote and read was cathartic as well. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 02:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I haven't watched the whole ceremony yet, just the highlights, (saving it to savor.) Unity, kind words, lovely poetry, complete sentences... these are still dark days, but I feel hopeful once again. Best wishes from NC! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 06:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

"Rmv deprecated field"

Mind enlightening me as to why the | birth_name = field of Template:Infobox person would be deprecated? I see no such mention in the documentation... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

The documentation states "only use if different from name" and it is meant for situations like Michael Caine or Kirk Douglas where the birth name is completely different. MarnetteD|Talk 00:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

80's music

Have you ever hear the 80's music? To me, it was fun to hear some nostalgia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starkiryu64 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I sure have Starkiryu64. That was the decade after I had graduated from college. It is an interesting life passage when something you were part of becomes nostalgia for you and others. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 20:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Ricky Powell

On 3 February 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Ricky Powell, 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. Dumelow (talk) 08:40, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, - I got Libuše Domanínská there yesterday, - fun to make a bio from puzzle pieces in four languages, and no idea why google serves a Czech radio feature only in Spanish (at least to me). Continuing from above: same wish. Out of curiosity: do you happen to know how the myth came into the world that the unspeakable has to "summarize" anything, - life, career, content? - I stay away, gives me much more time for the above-mentioned bios. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

My replies always seem to get delayed Gerda. Apologies. Mo idea about the origins of the myth. Staying away is better for the spirits. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 01:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

No problem with a day later when dealing with a problem from 2005 ;) - I met the conflict in 2013, when we wanted to introduce {{infobox opera}} because see Talk:Das Liebesverbot#Infobox, faced strong opposition, one of my friends called for arbitration, arbitration supported the opposition (short version). I simply liked Carmen better the way it is than what I can't even show you any more because the alternative was just deleted. My spirits could be high. But seeing people whom I respect loosing their time and spirits over a phantom - the concept that the little box should summarize the content - and seeing people hurting each other for a phantom ... - my spirits would be higher still if they'd end fighting. - Also I can't help secretly thinking that for Beethoven, the box is the clearer summary ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree Garden

Did you know that I do my daily exercise now of converting refs for Stockhausen's works - today Adieu of all titles - in memory of Jerome Kohl? Another one who died on the Main page today, Vera Wülfing-Leckie, - a red link in the Deaths list, imagine. I went to the garden some great day in October 1996, remembered. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

I did not know Gerda. Thank you for your work on those. A beautiful garden thanks for the pic. This beauty in Portland is special and a place I visited it every time I went to see the friends who lived in that city. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 00:40, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

The Doctor

What Doctor do you like the most. To me, it's the Fourth Doctor and the Seventh Doctor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starkiryu64 (talk • contribs) 03:27, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Starkiryu64. When I first discovered the show back in 1981 Tom's episodes were the ones our PBS station was airing. His performance was fascinating and he will always be near and dear to my heart. I admired Pat Troughton as an actor before I knew about DW so when I learned that he had been the Second Doctor I was impressed. When I finally got to see his stories I enjoyed what he brought to the role. I was very happy to meet him (even though it was brief) at the 20th-anniversary convention held in Chicago in November of 1983. When Matt Smith became the Eleventh Doctor I didn't know what to expect since I had only seen him in the two Sally Lockhart stories adapted for television. I found his performance to be great fun. His Doctor is completely unpredictable in how he is going to react to and deal with a given situation. IMO that is a trait that he shares with Tom. Enjoy your weekend! MarnetteD|Talk 05:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

I was fascinated with the Seventh's talents in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. Starkiryu64 (talk) 06:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

A great choice Starkiryu64. One of Sylvester's best and most intriguing stories. MarnetteD|Talk 17:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

It's the final three for me: Ghost Light → The Curse of Fenric → Survival. Out on a high, except for the electric cat. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Survival was also my fav. And even Pyramids of Mars. Starkiryu64 (talk) 17:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

More good choices by you both. Battlefield has one of those little trivia items that I geek out over. Nick Courtney and Jean Marsh had played brother and sister waaay back in 1965 in The Daleks' Master Plan. Granted their scene together in that story was brief :-) MarnetteD|Talk 18:04, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Is Nick the Brigadier and Jean's Sara Kingdom? Starkiryu64 (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

You have Jean's characters name right Starkiryu64. Nick was playing a man named Bret Vyon. L-S first story was The Web of Fear in 1968 - though he was only a Colonel then :-). MarnetteD|Talk 18:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

oh. Starkiryu64 (talk) 18:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

My selections above were purely considering the Seventh Doctor. If I were to pick three Fourth Doctor stories, they would probably be The Ark in Space, The Brain of Morbius and The Talons of Weng-Chiang. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:59, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

What about the The Trial of a Time Lord? Do you like it or not? Starkiryu64 (talk) 00:47, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

I like it S. MarnetteD|Talk 01:55, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

The Trial of a Time Lord - hmph. I got annoyed with it at the time, right from the start (do the Time Lords not have a double jeopardy law?). It was about eleven episodes too long, full of plot holes and other rubbish; and Colin Baker had not improved since the previous season. No wonder Michael Grade pulled the plug again. I can only pick out two Sixth Doctor stories as worth watching - The Mark of the Rani and Revelation of the Daleks, being the best (mainly because of their supporting characters) of a bad bunch. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:12, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Do you mean the notorious controller of BBC1 that announced an 18-month hiatus for the series because of the violence in the show? Starkiryu64 (talk) 23:11, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Is everyone was here? Starkiryu64 (talk) 20:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

He is the one Starkiryu64. I've read several things over the years about grade including the fact that he didn't like sci-fi at all which is why shows like DW and Star Cops were halted during his tenure as a controller. MarnetteD|Talk 22:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Do you like The Happiness Patrol? or not? Starkiryu64 (talk) 04:44, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

That is actually my favorite 7th Dr story Starkiryu64. Weird and offbeat I know it is not everyone's cup of tea but something about it works for me. MarnetteD|Talk 05:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Forcing people to be happy is wrong, am I right? Starkiryu64 (talk) 06:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

How do you know about ´´An Unearthly Child´´? Did the chameleon circuit break in the serial? Starkiryu64 (talk) 03:00, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

The very first episode is amazing S. I've seen it many times and I think it stands up well. One thing I've always found interesting is that Hartnell's Doctor doesn't appear until several minutes into the episode. In episode two "The Cave of Skulls" the Doctor is perplexed that the Tardis hasn't changed shape and says "It's still a police box. Why hasn't it changed? Dear, dear, how very disturbing" There is more info about it here TARDIS#Exterior for you to enjoy. It is worth noting that the first time the term chameleon circuit was used onscreen is in Logopolis although it had been used a few years earlier in the novelisation of Terror of the Autons. Cheers.

Refill2

Hi, MarnetteD. Refill2 can't fix PDFs when they are references. Since not fixing them bugs me... do you have any suggestions or procedures for them? Thank you in advance. RJFJR (talk) 17:26, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

TGIF RJFJR. There is some good news regarding formatting PDFds. Reflinks has recently been resurrected. It can format many - though not all - PDFs. It will also format several other urls that refill skips. You do have to click on "interactive" in the upper left corner and then click "all unformatted links" before copy pasting the article title in the page title field. Another benefit is that it will put PDFs into an editing field so even if it doesn't fix them they are ready for manual formatting. Now if you haven't used it before it takes a little getting used to but I think you will get the hang of it fairly quickly. As always I'll try to help with any questions that come up. Best regards.

I like the idea S but I don't know that I can be much help. I have no experience in starting articles about songs. The first question is "is there enough info on the web to support a stand alone article?" If not is there info where it could be mentioned in another article?

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your edit of 02:37, 9 February 2021 of Mark Robinson (Australian politician), you introduced some odd markup:

My comments:

1. just plain wrong. I've seen this sort of markup a lot lately, and I don't know how it gets there. I welcome your partnership in helping to prevent it.
2. The word "The" should be capitalized.
3. Anything on Facebook not coming from the corporation itself should use "via" and it's probably best to call it simply "Facebook", viz. |via=Facebook

CSD-tagged Categories

Hello, MarnetteD,

I see you've CSD-tagged a few categories that were created by a blocked or banned editor. Unfortunately, categories can't just be deleted like an article, file or template since all of the pages in the categories will still be tagged with that category. I believe you can report them at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working and a bot will take care both of the category deletion and the untagging of all of the pages in the tagged categories. Some of the regular CFD admins like Good Olfactory and Fayenatic london might be more up-to-date on the details here than I am. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:02, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Liz. It has been a while (two+ years) since I saw Censorscribe pop up. I'm sure dealing with things have changed since the last time. I may not be able to get to them right away. You might have seen that several of them were small cats as well. If GO or Fl have any pointers to add that will be appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 01:24, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I haven't gone through all the category edits, but it seems to me that some which you have undone were actually beneficial and IMHO should be reinstated, e.g. [1]. In that case I have proposed a merger anyway, and that reversion can be re-added afterwards as part of checking the merge. Do ping me if you would like help with others. – Fayenatic London 22:49, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your post Fayenatic london. Whenever I use a {{Db-g5}} I have no problem if other editors think the page/category/template can be useful. If you've bumped into CensoredScribe's editing before you'll know they like creating small cats (miniscule at times) so the cleanup can be fairly quick. I've glanced at the current thread at the VPT and it made me wonder if a page like Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell would be useful for cleaning up categories as well. Regards.

Also, minor question, but was the deletion of some of the data for Surin province in this edit accidental on your part?: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nationality,_religion,_and_language_data_for_the_provinces_of_Thailand&diff=1007966020&oldid=1007964913 For what it's worth, don't worry, I already put the removed data for Surin province back in that part of the table, but I'm still wonder if this data deletion was accidental on your part. I suspect that it was, but I just want to make sure. Futurist110 (talk) 22:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Ah rats. I missed that Futurist110. I had a copy paste glitch happen and thought I had fixed but obviously hadn't :-( I am glad you caught it. If you want to take this award back I will understand. Regards. MarnetteD|Talk 22:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

I really don't see the point of taking an award back for an honest mistake on your own part. So, you can certainly keep this award! Please enjoy! :) After all, we all make mistakes from time to time and thus should NOT be punished for these mistakes! :) Futurist110 (talk) 23:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Futurist110. Enjoy your week. MarnetteD|Talk 23:55, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, you too, MarnetteD! :) Also, Yeah, the damage that you did to my article was small and easily reversible, so NO permanent damage and NO permanent harm done! :) Futurist110 (talk) 00:36, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

I do apologize for asking, but out of sheer curiosity--what exactly did this copy paste glitch consist of? I'm just curious is all. Futurist110 (talk) 03:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Futurist110 (going off memory) as I did the - hold left click - drag cursor to highlight - cut - the part that you had to replace got caught up in that. I went into the edit history to try and find what I had erased but missed the important bit. I may not have the sequence exactly in order on this but its close.

As I think about it there may have been some pasting over the top of the line that added to the problem as well. I'm just not sure anymore. MarnetteD|Talk 05:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Futurist110 (talk) 05:18, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

BTW, just how long did it take you to properly source my article? Futurist110 (talk) 02:26, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I had to run refill a few times to get all of the bare urls and some of those still had to be adjusted manually Futurist110. As I look at the edit history it looks like it was just under half an hour. MarnetteD|Talk 03:22, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
