User talk:Chris Capoccia

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,

Category:Pages using citations with accessdate and no URL and citation bot

Are you going to continue until the category is empty? I was quite enjoying the ride! :-) Nemo 20:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

trying to… we'll see how long it lasts before the next time someone shuts down citation bot.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 21:52, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Category:Pages with citations having bare URLs at 24k and Category:Pages with citations lacking titles at 31k... I'm curious where they end up! Nemo 19:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

most of the rest of "Pages using citations with accessdate and no URL" are using templates like cite map that are not supported by citation bot. many of "Pages with citations having bare URLs" and "Pages with citations lacking titles" are actually broken links that citation bot cannot fix.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 21:18, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Maybe we can identify the titles most likely to be edited successfully with some regex search? Then you could submit them for citation bot processing without the category method, which is quite intensive. Nemo 06:45, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

also there are confusing cases like Calau, where the actual mistake is not in that page but in Template:Infobox German location, and that template transcludes other data, so doubtful that any normal person could figure out how to fix the error.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 19:54, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Removing single quotes from citation title parameter

Hello. At Christian Benítez, single quotes surrounding a title which was a direct quotation, aand which were present on the original cited webpage, were removed using CitationBot. I can't find anything in CS1 documentation to support such removal, and was wondering if it was a mistake? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:54, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Bach cantata recordings

The best, most detailed information is on Bach Cantatas Website. We use the site mainly for recordings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:01, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

it's self-published source and the URL got stripped so how can you cite to that?  — Chris Capoccia 💬 13:47, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Self-published or not, it's the best information around. Recordings are recordings, and here you get exact information about instrumentalists in the orchestra, date and place of recording, etc. We'd do our readers no favour if we didn't make that information available. I am sorry, I made a mistake not removing the ref tags when moving the entry to External links. Btw, - references like that have passed the source check of featured articles, example BWV 172. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Category:Pages using citations with format and no URL

You visited Henry Dorling because he was in this category - but you didn't touch the Ipswich Journal reference which was causing it to be in the category, instead adding what seems to me to be an unnecessary doi link to the ODNB reference. PamD 14:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing. I grew up in a house in Dorling Drive in Epsom, named after him. PamD 17:42, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

FREMO citation

Hello Chris Capoccia, the diff Special:diff/925515952 has no edit summary. Would it be possible to share/explain the (intended) changes? Appreciations, —Sladen (talk) 17:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

look at the old rev and see the errors & fix those. there is a handy diff button to help. look at the mess of a citation it was before.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 17:18, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello again Chris Capoccia, apologies for being unclear. What is the intended benefit from the removal of eg. date=1 December 2013|accessdate=1 September 2018|language=en? —Sladen (talk) 05:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

the source does not have an obvious date, I didn't see one. Clearly the access date is wrong and languages is for foreign languages.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 11:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
