Hello.
Thanks Chris for doing all that hard work of getting those citations into order! I was feeling sick at the thought of doing all that legwork myself! Much appreciated ! [[User:Fuzzypeg|Fuzzypeg]][[User talk:Fuzzypeg|★]] 00:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
I see you have made recent edits to the page for my close friend Stanley Krippner.
Stan would like to have corrections/additions made to his Wikipedia page. Although I have made minor updates to other pages, updates to Stan's would involve references and names that can be drilled down on to other articles (I don't know what these links are called). This is beyond my interest to become that proficient.
Please reply with your previous interest in and knowledge of Stan and his career, how you came to update his article, and if you are interested in assisting us.
Many thanks. [[User:Phrzbyphil|Phrzbyphil]] ([[User talk:Phrzbyphil|talk]]) 13:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

:: You removed links to texts that were openly hosted by the publishers, there is no copyright claim.

::Ah, I see, so by adding a doi, a link is automagically generated.

== Looks like I've got some homework to do ==

re: History of Baseball in the United States. I see you wrote out a couple of references in "Wikipedia longhand." Great, I assume that's necessary. Though a simple link seems to get the reader to the same place, there must be a reason for breaking down some citations into their component labels -- first name, last name, etc.

My original intent was to merely copy edit, but I realized without some more citations, the article might get bonged and all my copy editing would be for nothing, so I started looking for links to either confirm a given statement of fact or add content that didn't need to be brought into the article but that augmented the text. Fine. I'll learn when to {{Cite}} and when to add a simple link. I hope.

Your edit in the heading "The Science of the Sport Changes the Game" is one such, where you left one link untouched and turned the other into a lengthier citation. However, there is now an error message I don't understand: "Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page)." Fact is, the </ref> seems to be right where it belongs.
Just curious -- how were you alerted to those two references, deep inside this article? They can't possibly be the only two I got wrong!

I'm a newbie, Chris, and as such will probably be a bit of a pest for a while. Thanks for any feedback you can give me. Cheers, [[jhoughton1|Jim Houghton]]

Revision as of 17:09, 21 June 2024

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,

Need an Editor

Hello.

I see you have made recent edits to the page for my close friend Stanley Krippner.

Stan would like to have corrections/additions made to his Wikipedia page. Although I have made minor updates to other pages, updates to Stan's would involve references and names that can be drilled down on to other articles (I don't know what these links are called). This is beyond my interest to become that proficient.

Please reply with your previous interest in and knowledge of Stan and his career, how you came to update his article, and if you are interested in assisting us.
