The Hard Worker's Barnstar I probably should have posted this earlier, but many thanks for jumping on board and helping out at POTD in the past few weeks/months. It certainly makes life easier not to have to worry about getting every day's blurb up to scratch in time, and to have someone else who is prepared to do the leg work of making sure the material posted is properly cited and up-to-scratch. Thank you for this and all the other excellent work you do on the Wiki, Ravenpuff.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:12, 13 June 2019 (UTC) gaudete et exsultate Thank you for quality articles such as Gaudete et exsultate and List of titular churches, for updating the history of images and hooks used in DYK, for dealing with In the news and Main page errors, for sensible redirects and page moves to better capitalisation, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 20 June 2019 (UTC) The Editor's Barnstar This is to acknowledge and thank you for patrolling the DYK prep sets and making much-needed grammatical fixes!

3rd generation appellation in sources

Hello! As you are a local editor for Cardinal electors in the 1978 papal conclaves I wanted to touch base about a change I made. The author Lentz uses "III" in his name. The citation was originally configured this way:

• <ref>{{cite book|last=Lentz|first=Harris M., III|...etc}}

The problem with placing the "III" under |first=Harris M., III is that the comma generates a Category:CS1_maint:_multiple_names:_authors_list maintenance message. Placing the "III" appellation under |last=Lentz III removes the error message.

I looked for guidance on where appellations such as "III" are supposed to be placed but my cursory check couldn't find anything (I'm sure it exists but didn't want to spend forever looking for it). I made the change to the article, but afterwards, realized that since you are a frequent local editor for that page, I wanted to make sure the change met with your approval. If not, let me know and I will self-revert, or please feel free to revert my change if you like.

I was thinking, since the CS1 message is hidden from all users by default, it's not a glaring error, but nonetheless, maybe the "III" could just be dropped? (or I could just remove the comma, or encase the entire entry within double parentheses / keeping the comma, like this |first=((Harris M., III)) which would also remove the error message) I dunno, whatever works for you, I'm fine with... but so sorry for the hassle! Take care,  Spintendo  04:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Update - I went ahead and placed the template within double parentheses, that way the error message is resolved while preserving the page as it was. I noticed {{sfnp|Lentz III}} which displays as Lentz III (2002) -- because it appears so often in the article -- well, that just seemed fairly disruptive enough that it looks much better the way you originally had it configured. So in the end, the problem is solved, no muss no fuss ... again, sorry for the hassle! Regards,  Spintendo  04:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
