Nice

Great edit! This is where I might normally offer some constructive criticism, but I can't think of any. Perhaps you should edit more often, preferably a lot more often ;)—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 06:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal at Dégradation nationale

I supported your merge proposal at Dégradation nationale, but just a note: generally speaking, you shouldn't ping other editors from merges, Rfc's, or other formalized consensus-seeking discussions, as it could look like WP:CANVASSING. There are some exceptions to this, which you can read about at the link. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I actually pinged on the suggestion of this official guide. The user I pinged was the only one with much presence in that page's history. Hopefully I didn't misunderstand the guide. Nicknimh (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misuse of vauthors

In this August 2023‎ edit, you used the {{cite journal|vauthors=}} with the accept-this-as-written markup. Your use of the template is incorrect; these weren't Vancouver-style authors, which is the intended purpose of |vauthors=. I'd suggest avoiding the accept-this-as-written markup entirely, as it hides errors from both you and other editors who could have corrected this sooner. I have fixed the issue in that article, but you may want to review other articles in which you may have made this mistake. Daask (talk) 15:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Highest organ of state power, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Congress of People's Deputies. 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.)

MOS for date range in which one value is unknown

I was cleaning up the party affiliation list in this person's article, and from the article alone it is unclear when he joined the SPA, while he is specified as leaving it in 1919. I therefore put "(?–1919)." Is this correct. MOS:APPROXDATE offers no guidance on this question unless I overlooked something, so is it up to the editor's discretion? Nicknimh (talk) 04:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's reasonable under the circumstances, yes, and matches what I've seen elsewhere. Mdann52 (talk) 05:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Creating line breaks around template

Is it acceptable (or recommended, for that matter) to create line breaks around big vertical templates to improve the human-readability of code? For an example, see source code of Religion in Cyprus#Protestantism, recently edited by me. Nicknimh (talk) 21:09, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is neither generally recommended nor disrecommended. It is left up to the personal choice of the editor. But if a particular style has been adopted for an article, it's better to stay with that style and it is never acceptable to switch from one style to the other with no other reason than preference. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 22:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
