Thank you for all of your help! I just have a couple of questions.

Hi Chris, I have been working on the Bioelectricity Wikipedia page with my colleagues and I really appreciate all the help that you have provided us in making the page more suitable for Wikipedia. We have put in citations in all the places that citations have been requested and also responded to the suggestion to merge with Biomagnetics (which we do not agree with and put our statement in the appropriate talk page a couple of weeks ago). I am wondering if you'd be willing to remove the two tags on the top of the page that indicate the need for the citations (which we have put in) and the suggestion for the merge (which we don't agree with and no one else has added to the conversation)? I really appreciate your help with our efforts to make the field of Bioelectricity more available for the general public to learn about and to hopefully enrich and inspire lives through learning.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Acne does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! --Renat 17:30, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary reminder

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you Capoccia often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 01:17, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks Chris for all your great editing for wiki.

Bot cleanup on Levantine Arabic

Hi, You did a "clean up" on the Levantine Arabic but I'm not convinced by it's results:

  • Links to worldcat (generated by Wikipedia's citation tool) were removed
  • ISSN were removed
  • Many refs lost all meaningful information, for instance:
    • Abboud-Haggar, Soha (2011-05-30). "Dialects: Genesis". Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics. doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0088. was changed into "Dialects: Genesis". doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0088. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
    • Palva, Heikki (2011-05-30). "Dialects: Classification". Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics. doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0087. => "Dialects: Classification". doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0087. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
    • Borg, Alexander (2011-05-30), "Cypriot Maronite Arabic", Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics, Brill, doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0076, retrieved 2021-10-13 => "Cypriot Maronite Arabic". doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_0076. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
    • Shahin, Kimary N. (2011-05-30). "Palestinian Arabic". Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics. doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_vol3_0247. => "Palestinian Arabic". doi:10.1163/1570-6699_eall_eall_com_vol3_0247. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

I don't want to check each modification one by one but this looks like a massacre more than a clean up.

Can I revert your edits? A455bcd9 (talk) 09:51, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(It also added some "page needed" tags that don't make sense, like when the whole book is cited to give its reference.) A455bcd9 (talk) 09:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I really wasn't sure what to do with the dates for all the Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics citations. The Brill page says stuff like "First published online: 2011" for them, do we really know what the date is for these? for The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions, normally print books are cited by year alone. Also when you follow that DOI, it says "Print Publication Date: Oct 2017… Online Publication Date: Aug 2017", so the only thing consistent is the year.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 14:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For Brill the date was generated by Wikipedia's citation tool when I entered the URL. So I guess somewhere on the page or on a database the date "30 May 2011" is given? A455bcd9 (talk) 15:12, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
