You made my day

I know giving people "Happy First Edit Day" and "Happy Birthday" messages is a daily (and under appreciated) thing, but I was in a pretty bad place today and you snapped me out of it. So thank you, no matter how trivial it is. You genuinely made my day, and I hope you don't mind me letting you know about it. And don't worry about the double-templating, the more messages the merrier. :) EF⁵ 21:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to hear I've helped brighten up the day of someone else, regardless of how. You're very much welcome, and I hope you're doing all that bit better now @EF5

re:The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm confused - the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works both say that "Novellas which are only published as parts of collections use quotation marks." Do they call for italics in addition to quotation marks?

Thanks to your editing, I discovered that Mutis apparently won the 2002 Neustadt Prize for his body of work, not for any one work. You were right to remove the award from the page.

I very much appreciate your assistance. Don Q314 (talk) 01:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Don Q314 - nice to see you around!

If I'm not mistaken, in this case there would not be a need for italics in addition to quotation marks. Per MOS:TITLE, the goal is to distinguish these shorter works from standalone novels, which in turn, would be italicized. I appreciate your attention to detail in your article editing - both with the MoS and with the 2002 Neustadt Prize. Keep up the good work! Synorem (talk) 01:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm sorry, I thought it was you who had added the italics. Since we agree, I will remove the italics.

Also, my Plot section paragraphs for the final novella, "Triptych on on Sea and Land", have vanished. Was there a problem with these paragraphs?

Thanks for your patience - I'm new to this game. Don Q314 (talk) 01:26, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One more question - the name of Flor Estevez was removed from my summary of "The Snow of the Admiral", but her name is important in my (since removed) summary of "A True History of the Encounters and Complicities of Maqroll the Gaviero and the Painter Alejandro Obregón". Was there a reason to remove her name? Don Q314 (talk) 01:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem! When I undid your revision, I undone the whole of your work, not just the uncited part. Not to worry - you too can undo my action from the view history section. From there you can simply keep what was beneficial to the article, and remove the italics, the award, and such.

So no worries - I hadn't seen anything of concern other than the uncited material. Should be all good to add back

Synorem (talk) 01:44, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK - thanks again. Don Q314 (talk) 02:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was deliberate because the info was completely irelevant

There was no reason for that info to be there. 2001:BB6:7DC4:500:30F6:5B65:6214:22DB (talk) 15:29, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing information and replacing it with "I removed it because it didn't seem at all relevant." is not in line with our editing policies.
This is something that could've been discussed on the page's talk page rather than removing the information outright. Synorem (talk) 15:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to make an edit without an article's presence on Wikipedia?

If you could create the page, I could gladly share the article links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewmonk (talk • contribs) 08:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need help. Brandnewmonk (talk) 08:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused what you mean here - as in, you want to make an edit on an article @Brandnewmonk? Synorem (talk) 08:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to create an article about TableSprint from a third party perspective. I even shared the article links about the organisation. I am not getting paid by them anyway but I found their app interesting and hence do my bit for them. Brandnewmonk (talk) 08:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can click here to learn how to begin making a draft for a new article, if you believe there is reason for it to be created. It will be reviewed by our new page patrollers within due course. Synorem (talk) 08:17, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute continuation

Hi, I am creating this section so that I can ask for a WP:THIRDOPINION (seems they don't discuss there, you just list a discussion and they come to the discussion). Thinking about it more, it was probably inappropriate of me to engage with you that much on the IPs talk page, for sure it involves them but they didn't ask for the notifications, and they also never replied.

So, for reference, the discussion happened here: User talk:108.5.196.213#November 2024.
I am reviving it because I noticed another new instance of a warning to an IP user based on private filters: filter hits. – 2804:F1...02:ACA0 (::/32) (talk) 16:07, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. If you wish to continue the conversation, this is probably the best way to go about it, yes.

I'll try my best to engage on it when the case arises. Synorem (talk) 18:40, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did list it there, I guess we just wait? – 2804:F1...02:ACA0 (::/32) (talk) 19:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note: WP:3O is for disputes about article content, not about warning other editors. That said, you should not warn an editor if you don't even know what their edit was because it was blocked by the filter. As has been pointed out, the filters sometimes get things wrong. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:03, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the note, I asked at Teahouse if there was a "third opinion" for conduct disputes (was that a bad description of this?), and was directed to THIRDOPINION, which I take has something to do with the 4th paragraph of #How to list a dispute saying other forums 'may be' more appropriate instead of 'are'. – 2804:F1...02:ACA0 (::/32) (talk) 00:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alas; an error filter log patrollers and the filter themselves suffer from. Duly noted. Synorem (talk) 00:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
