• While I was trying to complete the article, someone has continuously deleted and removed, making me very tired. I hope you calmly help me have time to make it better. If I break your house, do you feel happy? I have explained a lot that I am tired and weak and forced to use the phone, but it seems that you don't care and always preserve certain discrimination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2402:800:3D54:32EC:56A8:B5A6:7F2A:9C1E (talk) 17:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Dawnseeker2000, great work on the date audit and general article cleanup, but note that your edits for overlink/geolink are sometimes going too far – e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hartcliffe&diff=1274315079&oldid=1266410624], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henbury%2C_Bristol&diff=1274315363&oldid=1260214608], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horfield&diff=1274316295&oldid=1261324118] removed all geolinks from the intro, and all links to the city (which is definitely not well-known enough to fall under the overlink guidance's "common terms"!). Also, the geolinks guidance states that it doesn't apply to infoboxes, and in these cases the edits contradict guidance on that infobox template that those fields should be links. I've corrected those ones, but this might apply to other articles you've been cleaning up. Thanks, Joe D (t) 20:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:Hi and thanks for the input, though to say that removing links to Bristol is an error is correct in terms of the items that I mention in my edit summary, which, as you saw, reads "date format audit, refine ref details, link maintenance (linked miscapitalizations, WP:OVERLINK, WP:GEOLINK, unlink common terms)".{{pb}}As you're aware, WP:OVERLINK talks about settlements, and my approach to this has been to not include obscure (or just plain small/tiny) locations. With that in mind, we're talking about one of the world's most easily recognizable countries. Continuing on with that, Bristol is not exactly an unknown settlement either.{{pb}}So, if you're truly set in your approach, and I realize that texting may not necessarily be the best venue for this kind of conversation, I think we are probably going to disagree, at least partially, about what's going on. Do you want me to remove Bristol from my settings file based on the idea that it's a relatively unknown city in England and/or the world? Dawnseeker2000 20:40, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

::Overlink says "Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article..." In these cases, the articles were about suburbs of the city of Bristol, therefore the term is extremely relevant to the content of the article and it is not an overlink. Overlink also says "Be conscious of your own demographic biases" – the fact that Bristol is well known within England doesn't make it an overlink.

::Are you saying that you are automatically deleting all links to a whole list of articles without first checking whether such link removals are appropriate to the context? Joe D (t) 20:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Brother, I'd appreciate it if you didn't underestimate me. With that, I'm a little closer to being done with this conversation. Dawnseeker2000 21:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:One more question: does the template documentation override overlink/geolink? Dawnseeker2000 20:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:Forgive me for peppering you with these extra replies, but I chose to send off a response rather than working on a draft. I wanted to mention the philosophy of how I'm approaching this task. If, for example, there was a similar-sized community in the global south, I'd probably avoid it, and to continue on with what I've already mentioned, and I'll remove Bristol if you insist, but cites in England are pretty recognizable for readers of encyclopedias. I'm avoiding removing links to similar sized cities in African countries, as well as those in Southeast Asia, etc. If you take a step back and consider locations on a global scale, Bristol is a recognizable city in one of the worlds most prominent countries.

Hi Dawnseeker,

I see that on the WP article for the 1978 Tabas earthquake the type is listed as dip-slip. However, this paper (https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/article-abstract/69/6/1861/117950/Earthquake-faulting-and-bedding-thrust-associated?redirectedFrom=fulltext) "discontinuous thrust faulting" and others (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169555X13001037) "blind thrust fault", and a USGS source (although preliminary) (https://www.eeri.org/lfe/pdf/Iran_Tabas_PrelimReport_Nov78.pdf) "exhibiting thrust fault character" say thrust fault. Should I change it to be more specific, as a thrust fault is a type of dip-slip fault per https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-a-fault-and-what-are-different-types? Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 06:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

:Yes, please change it to something more specific, as the current source for dip-slip is a catalog, and it's probably preferable to be sourcing a study in this case. Cheers, Dawnseeker2000 06:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

::Also another question, I'm not sure how to read the catalog for the death range properly. Where does it say 15k-25k? Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Sure, the PAGER-CAT source, as you may have seen, is a compilation of catalogs, and sometimes they have a "comments" column. In this case, I took the lower figure of 15,000 from the Utsu comments column (CN), where it gives a range of 15K on the low end to "more than 20k" on the high end. The EM-DAT catalog (column CT) gives a figure of 25,000 for the high end. So that's where I got those figures. Dawnseeker2000 20:51, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Please do not de-link cities. Countries are fine to de-link. GiantSnowman 18:01, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

:Unlinking cities is fine; it's within the MoS. Dawnseeker2000 20:49, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

::No, it's not. Please stop. GiantSnowman 18:33, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Sure it is, and the current bit of applicable text at {{sectionlink|Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking|What_generally_should_not_be_linked}}. There have been plenty of discussions around the topic of linking city names on the talk page archives. Mainly editors are looking for clarity about how to manage links; some support and some don't.{{pb}}I found one RFC from early 2017 (Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 132#RFC: Definition of WP:OVERLINK, indent two) that had a snow close. It was brought about by a very new editor, with some closing text reading {{green|"the definition of excessive links is itself fuzzy, subject to many fuzzy factors and editorial judgement. Any concrete ideas for clarifying the language should be suggested on the guideline's talk page"}}, then some months later, SMcCandlish expanded and improved the definition, which was not challenged.{{pb}}If you'd like to post at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Linking, I'll join you there, but as with a lot of those discussions, consensus can be difficult to establish.

I'm trying to GA 1992 Flores earthquake and tsunami and am confused on how to read the ISC data for earthquakes. Where would you find the ISC number for magnitude? Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 16:01, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

::The ISC-GEM spreadsheet. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 22:49, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:::OK, there's a lot of metadata details in the top area, but look for the row headers in row 110 for version 11.0 of the catalog. Once you find it, move that row to the top of the view then use the "freeze panes" feature to lock it in place. From there, the Mw figure is in column "K". Dawnseeker2000 23:09, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

I noticed your account making a tonne of edits supposedly correcting grammar mistakes on this page ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Royal_Irish_Academy&diff=prev&oldid=1282528035 royal society Ireland]) but it removed the Capitalization of "A" to denote the Academy. We are referring to the proper name hence forth and thus need it to be "Academy". It also removed links to the Irish language (Library seection) so anyone could mistake it for "Language" in general instead of the Irish Language. The link to Dublin has been removed even though It is the capital of Ireland and of significance to the article.

And this is just one page... your bot edits up to 10 ARTICLES every minute. U+12399 (talk) 13:57, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:Agree, such apparent bot behaviour in this case is disruptive and the problem is it makes some good corrections as well as bad. Another very poor choice was with removing the links in North-South - there are plenty of English readers who would not have a clue on what this meant unless they have strong Irish connections. Can the community ask you to correct your errors on that page yourself rather than expect others to do a manual reversion and consider removing or having better manual triggers for certain functionality. ChaseKiwi (talk) 15:04, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

::While asking is ideally the best and most polite way forward, can the experienced Wikipedians not block him on a temporary basis? I'm new here, but already starting to discover so many headaches... U+12399 (talk) 16:21, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

::Hey ChaseKiwi, we assume readers have basic knowledge and I think it's fair to say that most people know about Ireland and Northern Ireland. That specific link that I modified South appeared 10 times in the database prior to my removing that one instance. I'd say that it's probably not the best arrangement in terms of the display text. We don't really think of Ireland as South Ireland.{{pb}}Anyway, after I made the "problematic" edit to the article, KerryCommon came in and added a link to all-Ireland prior to where the removed link was, so now the reader has some context. Also, I made an additional change to some of the over-capitalization in that article. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Royal_Irish_Academy&diff=prev&oldid=1285416242] Dawnseeker2000 17:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi U+12399. I make each one of these edits myself and I am not a bot, and yes, at the time you looked at my series of edits I was working on articles with a max size of 7,500 bytes; it's very quick to make rapid edits on articles of this size. Dawnseeker2000 17:09, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

::I honestly don't believe that you do not have a script running. You're saying its perfectly human behaviour to edit 22 articles in the past 7 mins? On and On your list of contributions goes... Sure you use AWB but I dont think you're checking the results dude.

::Sure if you're only making quick edits how will you know if you are making a legit correction? As you said, it was only after, did KerryCommon come in to correct your edit, not you. So you havent noticed it until Chasekiwi pointed it out and your trying to fallback on some legitimacy.

::You still haven't fixed the Academy (capitalization of A).
