Bambach on Lisa del Giocondo
[edit]Hi Susan, hope you're doing well. As promised, I looked in Bambach to see what she said about Lisa del Giocondo; not much I'm afraid but maybe you'll find it helpful. Send me an email when you get a chance and I'll respond with images of the pages in question. Best – Aza24 (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Inappropriate warning
[edit]WP:Do not template the regulars - and also you're mistaken anyway, I actually restored your preferred version, not mine. GiantSnowman 16:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- No, DMY is not my preferred format. I do not understand the script used by an intervening editor (it changed only the date on the maintenance template which at the time was MDY, but then it changed the article refs to MDY dates). Then by undoing them, you changed the maintenance template date again and reverted the article refs back to DMY dates. Edit warring is not going to solve this. The article's date format is out of sync with its own refs. -SusanLesch (talk) 20:08, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
