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,

Reference style

Chris Capoccia, since you've been addressed times before about changing citation style at articles, with editors pointing to WP:CITEVAR, I wanted to ask the point of this edit and this edit. Were they made because of your preferred style? Or for consistency? Or both? Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

you should at least pick a good representative diff, and you can see there is no consistent reference style. one major improvement i did make was finding better links for all the archiveurl ones. Some articles had completely incorrect titles. Some places change to the long ISBN.  —Chris Capoccia TC 02:25, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I asked what your intention was. Thanks for replying. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:36, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

refs

as far as i can see the AJCP refs are rendered useless by removing text - please explain.... JarrahTree 23:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

easy enough to read a diff and see the improvement. not clear what's so difficult  —Chris Capoccia TC 23:54, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
the diff I saw no replacement of text - just bare bones... maybe reading in between... ah I see - the time delay between back to bare bones and waiting - that must be tedious for you - the difficulty is checking an edit and the following one - cheers JarrahTree 00:03, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove content or references without an explanatory edit summary

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Extinction risk from global warming, you may be blocked from editing. Your intentions may be noble, but deleting hundreds or thousands of characters of text without explanation is disruptive regardless, and you have already been contacted about this sort of thing by other editors on multiple occasions: [1] [2] [3]. I hope you will take this message on board, instead of ignoring it as you did with the previous requests. Thank you, Zazpot (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

so if i just add "prepping for cleanup with Citation bot", you're cool? —Chris Capoccia (talk) 15:09, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If that is actually the purpose of the edit, then yes. If in doubt, follow WP:ES. Thank you, Zazpot (talk) 14:51, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Methylphenidate. Zazpot (talk) 18:38, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

lol "blank a page" :D show me a diff that is blank —Chris Capoccia (talk) 19:53, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
blank a page is not what I said. "remove or blank page content or templates" is what I said. Zazpot (talk) 20:16, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
and if you look at the diff for Methylphenidate, you'll see it's not that either. —Chris Capoccia (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
