I'm aware. You didn't do anything wrong. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question about WP:EDITORHOSTILE

I've recently discovered that the problem of "editor-hostile" output from some tools is that they follow the TemplateData "format": "inline" prescription to format everything without spaces. I've asked at mw:Extension talk:TemplateData#Why no spaces in "inline" format? about this, and it seems that changing the current behavior is not feasible, but it might be possible to introduce a new, more user-friendly, format for "long" templates. Please take a look; I think, your participation will be very helpful. — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 00:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field

Re your quick revert of my "dubious" tag: The explanation (originally offered by me!) that D used to be -D leads to further problems; see Bibbloti's addendum to the talk page. — Gavin R Putland (talk) 09:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Template:R from journal

Hi, this template imposes a view that as far as I can see does not reflect consensus. I'm not very adept in editing templates, so perhaps you can have a quick look before I break something? Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 08:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Randykitty: What's the problem, exactly? What view? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:51, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The remark that journal articles need to satisfy GNG... --Randykitty (talk) 10:07, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher) That looks like a copy from {{R from book}}. Nobody (talk) 10:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It says it needs to meet notability guidelines, not gng specifically. I don't really see a problem with that. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:06, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK. --Randykitty (talk) 14:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for catching that reference on Technical geography. I reviewed the article's content but not the journal it was from, and didn't notice the predatory nature of it. I deleted the claim until I can track down the original source (if it exists). GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 04:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You can check WP:UPSD and WP:CITEWATCH to find such citations in general. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:50, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
