What's fun?

I was thinking about your comment at WT:MED, and I'd like to know what kind of editing you think is the most fun. New articles? A group of related articles? Checking off a list? Seeing a backlog go to zero? Something else? WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:16, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

@WhatamIdoing:...Most fun are the one's done together eg this or this and this. Others I found fun are this and her daughter this and many more like this and this. Others are either because a I feel that it needs to be an article, interest, learning, feeling obligated to improve it or because I feel able. Improving existing articles is more difficult than writing a new one, but I don't mind...depends on subject. of course, some are assistance to others and it's nice when requested to help eg this. Some are hard to digest, like the one I am currently doing. Finding a hook for this was fun. Is what I am doing okay or did you have some advice for me? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:01, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Just "okay"? I want to have a hundred of you. Given the state of cloning technology, though, I figure I'll have to settle for making Wikipedia the happiest thing you could do.

Where do you get ideas for new articles? Do you use lists like Wikipedia:Requested articles/Medicine or have other approaches? WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:24, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

haha...@WhatamIdoing:...I have never used a wiki-request article list...I didn't know where they were. I rely on wiki-colleagues a lot. Usually, one article leads to another. this led to a whole series on the slave trade and plantations and Category:British slave owners. The transplants led to the orangutans. I could make a whole story just from articles I've contributed to. Of course, what I pass by daily also gives ideas. Thank you for the compliment...you are also very active in keeping the site maintained and thank you for replying back on wikimedicine. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:19, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Charles Illingworth lead

Hello. Thank you for adding the 'lead too short' tag here to Charles Illingworth back in May 2019. I am not very attentive to articles on my watchlist (I created this article) and I failed to notice this until now. It puzzled me, as I remembered writing an extensive lead. The last version with the lead I wrote is here (in November 2016), with the major edit to the lead made here (two days later). This moved much of the lead into the section now titled 'Life'. I've undone that as best I could, but it is not easy to unpick the changes (I ended up just restoring what I wrote three years ago). See what you think. Carcharoth (talk) 12:52, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

You aren't doing too bad yourself. And it's true, if I don't do a couple of thousand each month I slip back. I have dropped from 159 to 161, behind Redrose64. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:10, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Hans Raj (approver)

• The lead is difficult to follow

  Can you follow now?

• The sources are in an inconsistent format with three books in citations but others given in full in references. You should be consistent. Either all in full at the bottom and abbreviated in references or do it like I did here with the first in full (6) and subsequent entries (8 etc) in brief. Either system is fine. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:37, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

  consistent now??

• Okay...I hear you...will work on it. Thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 13:09, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

You need to put those books in alpha order. Also the section on the "massacre" doesn't explain what actually happened on the day. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Joe Kirby (teacher) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 21:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Please take a look at the reference formatting I did on your article. The way Google works is it opens documents in your localized website (google.co.uk) so you can view it. But if someone like me, in Israel, opens that link, it will not show the page. If, however, the website is always formatted as "google.com", it will open in each reader's country according to their localized website. It's a little bit of work to adjust the website, but it's worth it. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Interesting @Yoninah:. Thank you for going to the trouble to correct the formatting. I had been suspecting that but didn't know how and have taken note. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I just paste them here and a clean version appears in the url box. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Now on to linking geographical articles with disambiguators. The fun never stops! Philafrenzy (talk) 09:10, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Am I missing something? Whispyhistory (talk) 09:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Say you wanted to link London in Ontario rather than London in England. You would do it like this: London, Ontario, not London, Ontario, because Ontario is in the article title only to disambiguate it from London. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Got it Whispyhistory (talk) 16:12, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
