Hi Sam1370 - Love your additions to the Covid-19 testing page! Can you direct me to documentation that explains how one goes about accessing external information this way? For example, where are "variables" declared (avgtested), etc. Thanks. Swood100 (talk) 21:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Swood100: Of course — go to the template page at Template:Testing for Coronavirus disease 2019. The variables are declared there, just click “Edit source” to see them. I have calculated these statistics using a spreadsheet and data from Our World In Data (taken from the GitHub page). Reply back if you want edit access to the spreadsheet or have any other questions. sam1370 (talk) 21:19, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I have noticed your recent edits on Curfews and lockdowns related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic and also on Template:2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. Please refrain from removing any spaces which you deem unnec new line on any pages or templates in the future. These spaces are put in place for proper formatting by experienced editors, such as me. Your removal of such a space on the curfews pages was what led to the issue of white space between the table and text on the page, which you attempted to fix but that only led to more experimentation of additions and removals of tags on the main template. It yielded no results and the page could have been left in that state had I not visited it today.

I have had to go through every single edit of yours on the template page, this is very time-consuming and pulls us from other pages which need our attention. Please use the Wikipedia:Sandbox for any experimenting and/or learning before you attempt to edit pages which are new to you. Thanks. --Shawnqual (talk) 03:56, 02 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shawnqual: I edited the Template:2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdowns page precisely because of the white space between the table and text on the page, I really do not know what you are talking about. Please notice that my very first edit to either of the pages you have listed, performed at 01:49 on the 1st of May, stated that "There's some formatting issue that results in there being a big space between the text and the table". How could I have had prior knowledge of how my edit would create the problem when I had not even performed the edit? The edit in which the edit summary was "unnec new line" was performed at 01:51, after I had noticed and was in the process of correcting the formatting issue.

I was under the impression, after I was done with my series of edits, that they had in fact fixed the problem of the whitespace between the table and the text, as that is what appeared on my screen. In fact, I had apparently not only fixed the whitespace, but the unnecessary newlines -- which, regardless of what "experienced editors" think, does not look pretty between the 'See also' tag and the main body of text. Wikipedia is not for editing by just "experienced editors", but by everyone. And I would not have left the page as-is if the problem I had attempted to fix had not appeared fixed. If my efforts had not yielded any result, I would have reverted all of them back to the previous revision.

By the way, correct me if I am wrong, but are you attempting to make fun of my abbreviation of 'unnecessary'?

Also, edits like these, concering both a template and a page, are a bit hard to draft a correction for using Wikipedia:Sandbox.

On my screen you have actually, with your recent edits, added back the problem that I corrected. Are you on a laptop computer with a low resolution? That may be why this problem still persists, and that when fixed for one of us appears to be broken for another. Please see http://prntscr.com/s9j4y7 for an image of what appears on my screen when I go to the lockdown page. sam1370 (talk, contribs) 04:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenryuu: Oh no, just did a bit of edits to try to fix it a little. Does copy editing on Wikipedia refer to completely taking charge of an article? sam1370 (talk / contribs) 03:20, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sam1370, it doesn't. The Guild of Copy Editors is currently holding a backlog drive to encourage copyeditors to clear the backlog of {{copy edit}} tags that have been hanging around for months. You're welcome to join! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:22, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors "Make it say what it means and mean what it says" – Wikipedia: How to copy edit

Hello Sam1370 and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!

• A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
• Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
  • A simplified version of the above
• A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

... for your ANI post. Stay well and all the best, Miniapolis 22:15, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Miniapolis: Thanks! Sorry, I think I should have put it in the vandalism section. sam1370 (talk / contribs) 22:25, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about their other edits, but the edits to Sir Creek don't look like vandalism; I just noticed that they were editing other articles tagged for copyediting, which (come to think of it) is not a bad thing . Stay well and all the best, Miniapolis 23:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had not originally believed their edits at Sir Creek to be vandalism, but their other, similar contributions led me to believe this was deliberate. Take a look at Bargyman's and Hamish Gary's contribution list, every single one of their edits contains some variation of "Grammar review" or "Minor grammatical changes", but almost all of them are also tagged with 'References removed'. They have also not responded to any warnings on their talk pages, and in the case of User:Bargyman, continued to make these citation-removing edits. All this leads me to believe that these editors are deliberately attempting to vandalise the site. sam1370 (talk / contribs) 23:35, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Miniapolis: On second thought, they have made multiple legitimate grammatical edits, and the edits in which they remove citations did correct grammar. I should probably assume good faith. Sorry User:Bargyman, User:Hamish Gary. sam1370 (talk / contribs) 01:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(←) Don't beat yourself up; it's rarely okay to remove citations, but we don't want to drive off a potentially good editor. All the best, Miniapolis 13:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Gaius Servilius Casca, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hey, you reverted my page move of 1952 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election to 1951 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election. If you look at references in the article, it provides the year 1951 despite whats written in the article itself. For example take a look at the ECI Website. The former should probably be deleted as well. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 09:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

However, if you look at the link you provided, it shows that the date of polling was 31 March 1952. I'm not sure what happened, maybe it was scheduled for 1951 but actually took place in 1952? (Search 31-03-1952 in the PDF). sam1370 (talk · contribs) 17:45, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions - such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks - on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

There is a one-revert rule on all crypto articles, per the above notice on your talk page. You have performed the same reversion twice, against different editors, in less than 24 hours: [1] [2] I strongly urge you to self-revert, to avoid being penalised for edit-warring on crypto articles.

As to your question: Coinbase is not a third-party independent reliable source, under WP:RS - it is a primary source. Two editors have removed your repeated addition of Coinbase on this point - David Gerard (talk) 16:38, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David Gerard: Thank you for providing an explanation, instead of simply reverting again without providing a counterargument. However, what is wrong with using a primary source on this point? I think it is clear that Coinbase is a reliable source for crypto market prices, so why should it not be included? WP:RS simply states that they are difficult to use appropriately, however simply citing a price is not original research. sam1370 (talk · contribs) 16:57, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm from Russia, and I have a question for You. In the Russian Wikipedia, I create and promote articles about Warrior Cats. In the Russian Wikipedia, when creating articles about books Thunder Rising and The Sun Trail, you must necessarily need reviews from critics, publications (for example, Publisher's Weekly, Booklist, ALA, Kirkus, School Library Journal, Barnes & Noble), not reviews in stores Goodreads or DogoBooks. Articles about these books can be deleted in the Russian Wikipedia, as I did not find any reviews on them. Have You maybe found or seen reviews of these books? Thank you very much for your attention!

Hello, I just reverted your recent edit on GPT-4. I am struggling to understand this edit, not just because it admittedly consisted of unverified information, but because of the way it was cited. Of the relevant sources added, all of them are primary sources and tweets, including one tweet that does not speak to the claims and one that was deleted. This struck me as an attempt to perform WP:Original research. I don't want to make noise in the main talk page about this, but I wanted to explain further why I oppose this edit. Thanks.
