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,

Thanks Chris for all your great editing for wiki.

DYK for Hickson Inc.

On 25 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hickson Inc., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in the 1920s, Hickson Inc. had the "most elegant and expensive specialty shop" on New York's Fifth Avenue? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hickson Inc.. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hickson Inc.), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ebscohost

Just a note. I noticed a couple of edits where you removed {{EBSCOhost}} identifiers from citations - perhaps this was an error? It's no different from {{ProQuest}} or {{Project Muse}} in that it provides a closed-access link, usually to a PDF. (The PDF link is on the upper left of the ebsco page). Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 01:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

i tried clicking them and got nowhere but a login screen without even any bibliographic data to say whether it was to the correct item. is there any way for people to validate ebsco numbers used in citations? normally for other identifiers you at least get things like author and title and maybe an abstract even if access to the item is restricted.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 01:45, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I access it though the Wikipedia Library - [1]. I just have to log in to TWL and all of those template links automatically work for me. I do agree that it's difficult to validate without access; perhaps the template's creators might know of a way. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 01:55, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

i tried clicking log in via wikipedia, but even after that, when i click on a ebscohost number link, i still get only a login screen and no access to anything. At least things like ProQuest or Project MUSE give you the title and author when you don't have access.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 02:02, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hmm I'm not an expert, but here's one last try, since anyone who can log in to the Wikipedia Library should have Ebscohost access (it's what powers their search button). Maybe you need to use it once (e.g. by doing a search) before it saves the cookies that remember you. The search box on top of [2] uses Ebsco; something simple like "hello world" might do the trick.

Shauna Bloom

It doesn't matter much seeing as the article is most likely about to be deleted (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shauna Bloom) but just figured I'd let you know that your latest edits on that page appear to be in violation of MOS:STYLERET. I'm not undoing them because there's not much point, but just letting you know that rule exists in case you weren't aware. QuietHere (talk) 17:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@QuietHere I know about that rule, but there's no way the 14-Jan rev has any kind of consistent cite style that I would be switching the article to a different style   — Chris Capoccia 💬 18:23, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks pretty consistent to me. All written in text rather than templated, "nowiki" around URLs, things like that. More capital letters than necessary but otherwise nothing too out of place. Having had a look through the page history, it doesn't appear that any one editor ever defined that style and it may have just happened incidentally at some point since 2018, but even so it's been that way for a while. I dunno, like I said it doesn't matter 'cause the page is gone in days' time anyway; just figured it's worth keeping in mind for the future anyway. QuietHere (talk) 18:51, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
