WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Your advice

Dear Mattew, hi. Remember, you reviewed my contribution Creatio? Please take a look at Draft:Joe Sullivan (Internet security expert). It is a properly stated WP:COI contribution about an Internet security expert, former CSO of Facebook and Uber. Keen to know your opinion. Any advice that you can give me? Thanks! Peter. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:37, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

The Signpost: 27 February 2022

I couldn't work out the correct procedure for a book that has an editor but no author. I realized Wikipedia's computers didn't like it. Seems wrong though! An editor of an encylopaedia is different to an author. Nigel Cameron was the organizing editor of the Dictionary of Scottish Church History & Theology but wrote only a small number of the articles. Various other Wikipedia articles (for which I have no responsibility) reference one or more editors for this Dictionary rather than an author. --PeterR2 (talk) 18:53, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Now fixed as per Template:Cite book#Examples (Citing a chapter in a book with different authors for different chapters and an editor) --PeterR2 (talk) 19:08, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for looking into it! It appears the template was not designed to handle that "edge case," as it were. I went based off of Amazon, which listed the author rather than the editor, but I agree your solution is better. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 19:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
