1) What are you talking about? I added a link to the word minion on that picture.
2) when I ask you what the problem is you delete my question from your talk page and state that I am disruptive editing? What are you talking about? Garnhami (talk) 09:21, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I see your point and indeed I failed in editing it correctly, for some reason it did not work. However, I was going to change it back anyway, so there was no intended vandalism.
I tried it again on my sandbox and it is not doing what it is supposed to do for some reason.
All I wanted was to add the link to the "minion" website in case people do not know what a minion is.Garnhami (talk) 09:31, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Be careful
You are moving too fast.
See wp:images
The file name which any changes would call up another image, or more likely a wp:redlink is
File:Minion made with yeast cells.jpg
"Thumb" is how big to make the image. Shouldn't touch that.
The text part is what you would want to change:
Minion made with ''S. cerevisiae'' cells on a [[YEPD|YPD]] [[agar plate]]
The original:
[[File:Minion made with yeast cells.jpg|thumb|Minion made with ''S. cerevisiae'' cells on a [[YEPD|YPD]] [[agar plate]]]]
Suggested change:
[[File:Minion made with yeast cells.jpg|thumb|[[Minions_(Despicable_Me)|Minion]] made with ''S. cerevisiae'' cells on a [[YEPD|YPD]] [[agar plate]]]]
Which would look like:
Bit the picture was ok now: I just added the link to the "minions" wiki, that is everything.
You can even see the picture here now (as you placed it) that it is fine?
I am still confused and do not get the problem.
However, he clearly said that I might be blocked the next time.
I think, when addressed this aggressively, I might just stop and not contribute anymore.
I have made a serious improvement to several microbiology topics here, but I think I will not continue when addressed this hostile by certain people (not referring to you).
Garnhami (talk) 09:43, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies on your treatment. David.moreno72 nor I can block you. We have to request that an wp:administrator block. The admins will go through the evidence before blocking. In your case they would (probably) note that your edits were well-intentioned. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I just noticed your user page. I spent about three months in Leuven in ~1983. I was working for Dysan setting up an electronics with a Belgium firm (can't remember name). I remember the people as being friendly and the chocolate out of this world. If I spent any more time there, I would have gained 50 kilos. I also worked at Affymetrix making DNA chip synthesizers and other stuff. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:51, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Guess what I am eating right now when reading your post and making this one.... haha
chocotoff!
(kind of chocolade candy)
(and to my surprise there does not seem to be a wiki page on this... weird, it is pretty famous)
but yes: the chocolade (and food in general) is good and you need to pay attention in order not to gain 50kg.
Affymetrix, I know them (just from reading/hearing) as I work in the field of microbiology.
Garnhami (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is Côte d'Or (chocolate) where its spelled "Chokotoff". You made me look on purpose, didn't you? Now I'm looking at my collection of "Congobar chocolate". Sigh... With Trump running the show here, maybe I'll emigrate?
I designed and built the first chip synthesizer at Affymax, it's parent company. Later I designed and built this one which was used for years. It was only a "stop gap" machine. Hah! It appears to have been modified and decorated a number of times here. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nice!
haha, you are right, it is from côte d'or , but it is a very famous candy, so I was thinking that maybe a specific page was made, but it seems not. Maybe I'll have to make a picture of one and put it on the wiki because now it is a bit weak, the attention it gets haha.
The chocotoff is a small candy shaped piece of chocolate that is soft on the inside and it is the type of candy that you can keep eating. You usually buy it in a bag of 250 or 500 grams and before you know it you ate the entire bag in 1 take.
So you are a type of engineer I guess? Or chemist? Since you design(ed) chips like that?
Yeah, Trump.... I dunno... It is weird. The strangest thing , for me, is that when I heard Clinton was going to run (and not Bernie) I got this feeling Trump might even win...
He is completely nuts in my opinion and not able to lead a country, but Clinton was too much of what people revolted against (and I also doubt she is really what you want.... the stories you hear or read about her and what happened... and it does not matter whether or not the russians "opened" them.. most of them seem to be true or there seems to be something wrong in the end and that is not ok)Garnhami (talk) 05:03, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are most welcome!
If the article is active that would be problematic. If not too active you could copy to your sandbox. If others edit during the meantime, you would have to resolve those.
You can add an {{under construction}} template {{under construction |placedby= Garnhami |comment= ***A note. Maybe what you are doing and how long it will take*** }} to the section or article. Add "nosection=yes" if the whole article is being worked on, or "section=yes" if at the top of a section. If the article is heavily edited, you might get objections or find the template simply removed. Many might ignore the template. If the article is edited a fair amount, using under construction just on a specific section would seem preferable. I often see the template added w/o the placedby or comment. which is annoying. Note, I find the under construction templates rather strange. I tend to review a large amount of edits and trying to remember to check back on the ones under construction is difficult. Hence my dislike. Most others probably don't care too much.
Try using wp:Show preview. You can edit a section or the whole article and see the updates. Good for checking one's work and preventing adding burden to the servers with lots of edit diffs. However, you won't have an incremental undo. So, getting one piece fixed with a few show previews and then saving might be a good bet.
My talk page gets inundated and archived fairly quickly. If you wouldn't mind, please keep this discussion here? That way you will have this info here and not have to hunt through my archive which is some 48 pages. I keep useful reference links on my talk page. It's too unorganized and I can't find what I want...
Please use wp:notifications aka pinging to let others know of talk relevant to them. Pinging is rather tricky. You have to save everything at once or it breaks. Add {{ping|Jim1138}} ***Your optional message*** ~~~~
The ping and signature must be saved at the same time with a single "Save changes" or it will break. If you are unsure, just add another ping and signature. To further confuse things: yo, re, and others will work in place of ping. The ping shows up as "@Jim1138". You can also use any link to my talk or user page such as [[user talk:Jim1138]] {{ut|Jim1138}} or be tricky and hide it with a pipe: [[user:Jim1138|.]] ~~~~ (which shows up only as a "." but would still activate notifications). Ignore the nowiki stuff btw. If someone leaves a message on your talk page, they may or may not be wp:watching your page, so a ping is in order. You can ping multiple people: {{ping|Jim1138|Garnhami|Bozo}}
Thanks again for your work! The wp:teahouse or wp:help desk are useful places to ask questions. Especially the more complex or subtle issues which may be over my head. If you are having problems with someone, see wp:dispute resolution (DR). If you need an wp:admin, for medicine, I recommend Doc James. Other admins I would suggest are Ian.thompson, Oshwah, Diannaa, Drmies (helpful, but a bit brusque and doesn't put up with nonsense). Too often, admins are mostly inactive. Hope this helps more that just being confusing! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim1138: ok thanks! I'll read it a few times more just to see what it all means! haha. Lots of information!
I understand what you mean with the highly edited pages. I'll see what the best option might be, maybe I'll wait a few more months before really editing the article completely.
Garnhami (talk) 18:30, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Got your notification, it worked! What a day. I just made another eight liter batch of nectar for hummingbirds, hooded orioles, and a few other interlopers. Five kg of sugar - it's syrupy. Every hour or two a spotted towhee sits outside and trills until I throw him a peanut. After mating season, he can't sing anymore and probably goes hungry. Speaking of hungry, what chocolate are you indulging on at the moment? I need an excuse to visit my nearest Godiva Chocolatier. Jim1138 (talk) 19:12, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim1138: 5kgs of sugar? What? How much are you making? lol Is it really needed for them to survive or you just do it to attract them so you can watch them in an easier way ? You seem to know your birds! I am not really an expert on them, but I do enjoy watching them! Today I ate regular white chocolate (which is actually not really chocolate, but ok, lets call it a technicality haha). Enjoy your trip to the Godiva store. If it was me, I would most likely enter with a small list of things I would like to buy and end up going outside with way too much ! Garnhami (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We buy about 450 kg of sugar a year. Use ~13-18 kg / week at peak season and 2-3 kg /week off season. It is for viewing and showing off. That much sugar would support at least 1,200 birds full time. Probably have a larger number of daily visitors, maybe 2,500-4,500 individual birds during peak season. Hummingbirds are usually very territorial and won't tolerate another except for mating and raising their young; males don't help. These are recent photos https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ajzp9H2J5N1LhAzsHNevWGo1U21K this is nowhere near peak. Most are Anna's hummingbird, a fair number of Allen's hummingbird, and one Costa's hummingbird It is off season for Costa's. The Allen's are quickly increasing their range. Probably due to home gardens and hummingbird feeders. That is my home-brew tube-feeder. The round red feeders only had six holes. I drilled an additional 12-18 holes. The one photo -583 has 21 birds on it. If I forget to feed them, a lot of them would die. So, making sure the feeders are OK is a source of anxiety. Jim1138 (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim1138:Amazing or hardly to believe haha...... was my first response when I read that. So many birds!!! I do not get it, this is just near your home? I assume you have a gigantic garden than? Or ? Wow ! Amazing! I love nature and animals, but where I live I am already happy with a few birds, insects and the toads I see! Garnhami (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead, that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.
Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.
Hello, Garnhami. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. EdJohnston (talk) 22:03, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston:That is why I already made a post on the talk page of the other person. He removed some stuff that should not have been removed (especially the references, the page already lacks in this so removing the few good ones makes no sense). I even provided sources/links and I was even able to link it with another wikipedia page. I find it a little bit strange. However I do find it useful to have your comment because it does contain some interesting things I did not yet knew that might be useful since I have already corrected a few other edits that were faulty.Garnhami (talk) 22:08, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I removed the references you added from the lead and record table, as it’s not common practice and the fight is referenced in 'Professional boxing career'. Thanks. — 2.O.Boxing22:21, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
=> Hi @Squared.Circle.Boxing: Ok, I get that, but you can not just remove references in the text. Normally every statement is supported by a reference! The problem with Persoon her page is exactly the lack of references. So keep them in the text. In the tables, you can remove them (although, I find that strange too as now not every fight is supported by a good reference).Garnhami (talk) 22:24, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For a reference on the matter, you can visit regularly updated boxing pages such as Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez, Andy Ruiz Jr. and Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Their leads do not have references. The reference for BoxRec that you added is necessary as that is not expanded upon in the main article. Apologies for removing the reference with her date of birth, that was a mistake. Thanks. — 2.O.Boxing22:31, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean with leads? You mean the introduction of the pages? @Squared.Circle.Boxing:? If this is the case: they are wrong? Any statement should be verified with a reference. If you write an introduction on someones page and do you use good references, it is bad science. Wikipedia holds no value if the statements are not referenced. If you do not mean this with leads, I am not sure what you mean. If you mean the tables: ok, perhaps it is a custom not to do it.Garnhami (talk) 22:34, 11 November 2019 (UTC) EDIT: I guess you ment with lead the piece of text above a table? Indeed, you are right then![reply]
@Squared.Circle.Boxing:, just a general remark, the pages of the boxers you gave are not that good when it comes to the use of references. Look at the page of Albert Einstein for example for a good way to do it Albert Einstein. See how the first sentences are immediately followed by references. This is how it should be! Garnhami (talk) 22:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the introduction, lead section. I’ve always wondered why the pages never have references but I suppose this passage from WP:BLP would explain it; "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source."
@Squared.Circle.Boxing: Maybe it is just a habit? And somewhat of a "tradition"to do it like that and old habits are hard to change. For example, the wiki pages in my native languages are extremely poorly sourced (there are almost never references added!). The English wiki is a bit better when it comes to using references, but still, I read a lot of pages with heaps of text without a single reference.... I think it is just because people are not used to it. They still feel that wiki is more of a "book" type of place rather than a science type of place. If you publish a scientific paper , you really have to put references after pretty much every sentence. This is also why, in general, scientific pages here (pages with a science topic) are often better in terms of references because the people writing them are scientists and know about how to correctly refer to sources.
I will give another remarkable example Asthma => look at how pretty much every(!) sentence is followed by a reference! This is because the people editing this pace are almost are scientist (and the one really doing it, checking up every day, is an MD).
You do have a point of course: for non scientific articles (like the boxers) it is harder to get good quality sources because you rely on newspapers and other internetpages (not on scientific journals), but it still must be possible to get some reliable sources to, for example, proof the data of birth of the boxers or to support some general statements in the introduction part (e.g. their boxing profile on the boxrec website or their own website with some date about their bio)

Thanks for uploading File:KLyraTSV.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
I saw your question elsewhere. The lead should be a summary of what is below, and as far as it is that, summary of referenced things below, it should NOT have references cluttering the text. Exceptions: facts that are not mentioned and referenced below, and quotations. Hope that helps. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda Arendt well I find this a strange thing and it seems this is not really a general rule kept for most articles (especially science related ones). But ok, if this is the general consensus, I will follow it.Garnhami (talk) 14:35, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a comment, please check WP:LEAD and tell me where it stays you can not add references in the lead. I know you stated and yes, I know many others state this, however, I still have NO proof as to where you get this information from. I quote from the WP:LEAD article: "The notability of the article's subject is usually established in the first few sentences. As in the body of the article itself, the emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources. Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate." Now tell me again where it says there should be no sources?Garnhami (talk) 14:46, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't ask me, - I don't go by such guidelines, but by trial & error & what makes sense to me. Perhaps others will know. The passage you quote says nothing about ref requirements. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:56, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at that article now - first time. It is a good example. The lead has no references, only the one about the average duration, which is probably not in the article elsewhere. If you just follow that good example, and let others do the same, all should be fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda Arendt yeah, I am not blaming you. It is just a general remark I had. Wikipedia is not doing a great job when it comes to references and styles. Almost all the articles related to "hard" science have good sources in the lead. Also articles about important people often have good references in the lead. Sadly articles that are not in that area have a very bad style of sources. Another comment: the article is a featured article, but that means (in general) it is well written, in terms of style and has reference, however (!) it does not mean the references are really good or have been checked. 90% of those references are not publicly/easy available and how many people are experts in that field/topic do you think that bother to check them? Not too many.... Anyway, I will just follow your advice, although I do not completely agree with it as I do not see why a lead should not have references.Garnhami (talk) 16:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SaskatchewanSenator, yeah, I did not know. I simple use that tool once in a while to update articles. Anyway, it will happen again if others use it, so not sure it is useful to add that information again.Garnhami (talk) 22:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Garnhami: I'm not very familiar with en:wp, could you please help to stop vandalism going on by User:Christianideas? He started with this on de:wp.
Vandalism occurrences:
hi Pinin, yeah, I saw it as well, too bad: I also do not really know how to report him or do something about it. I would just keep track of the pages and delete it when he adds it. I think he will get the message soon and stop posting it. If he doesnt, someone will finally stop hom from doing it, no worries.Garnhami (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
hi Giant, I have checked it with some other sources and yes, most likely it is 92 goals and not 94, but sources are a bit contradicting in this one. I will keep it as it is for the moment. I have also improved the English article so perhaps you can check it. It is based on sources in Dutch as there isnt a lot in English available.Garnhami (talk) 07:30, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Giant, I noticed you removed the "Mon" part from his name, but I have placed it back. He was known as "Mon" by most people, short for his offical name Raymond. Lots of the sources for example will refer to him as "Mon". Not sure there is a better way to put it somewhere, but I would not just remove it.Garnhami (talk) 11:48, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Magic Johnson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Earl Graves (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
Hi Garnhami! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Jay D. Easy (t • c) 12:37, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Peter coxhead Ah, I see what you mean now. Ok, you can change it. But I usually put it there if there are 2 pictures just to differentiate between the 2. For 1 picture, I get it, but for 2 pictures it seems more logical to have a caption as well to seperate the pictures more.Garnhami (talk) 20:31, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See, e.g., Araneus diadematus for how you would distinguish multiple images. I wouldn't have changed the caption if I hadn't needed to fix the image parameter value, which had put the page in an error-tracking category; it's just a tidying. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Team winner was listed Quickstep, which was incorrect. Moreover the edit was only partial as paralympic and coach were missing. Rather than searching through the stats to correct what was incorrectly changed, I reverted and (was in the process of) creating a correct edit, but you interrupted me by doing it step by step (and incorrect as well, cfr.

This was not a minor edit, and it looks like it is common for you to mark large edits as "minor" such as here from last month.
