	For your response after the GA review of Whole Health Action Management. Your civility in responding to criticisms and then pointing out something I missed was wonderful, and is an example of what Wikipedia was meant to be. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:03, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I saw that you marked User:Geschichte/Timeline of women's education in Norway as promising. I had completely forgotten about it, but do you know any editor or project who could be interested in finalizing it? Geschichte (talk) 07:05, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Berrigan brothers cover of Time Magazine.jpg. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:08, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of writing a separate article for macro social work what do you think? also whare would i look for sources? RJJ4y7 (talk) 02:54, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RJJ4y7: Thanks for your interest in working on this! I agree that this is an worthwhile article to write. I have a few other priorities in the short run, but I will try to help with it over the next few weeks. In the meantime, I have added a list of sources to the article from a Google Scholar search. Alternately, any introductory social work textbook may be suitable to get the article started. Daask (talk) 01:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Ashot I of Armenia article you had posted something in your edit summary, "Undid revision 1241291736 by Armeniansarebest (talk). Ancestry is contested, so reverting to geographic description.", to which an IP reponded to you, "Daask Ancestry is contested in BagratIONI dynasty, not in Bagratids who was regretted to be of Armenian origin and reverted your edit.

Why do I get the feeling that the IP is user:Armeniansarebest? Your thoughts? --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:37, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kansas Bear:. I'm very confident that this is the same user, and reported that at User talk:Ingenuity/Archive 11#Armen888 SPI. No one else is obsessed with replacing links to Armenia with links to Armenians.

On that edit, perhaps my edit comment was beside the point, because Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography § Context says we shouldn't mention ethnicity in the lede even if it is verifiable.

On the ancestry/ethnicity claim, our articles document that the Bagrationi dynasty of Georgia and the Bagratuni dynasty of Armenia are branches of the same family. I have no knowledge of this topic, but Bagrationi dynasty#Origins indicates uncertainty. It's not uncommon for these kinds of historical ethnicity claims to be asymmetric controversies only studied by partisan scholars promoting ethnic nationalism; often there isn't sufficient evidence to be confident, and less partisan historians don't find it interesting or important to study. Daask (talk) 17:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting Ingenuity know about this. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to keep bothering you, but what are your thoughts on this editor? --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind. Special:Diff/1247863470 clearly indicates an experienced Wikipedia editor; that's a particularly arcane piece of template syntax. However, they don't yet have enough edit history for me to link them to Armen888/Armeniansarebest. Daask (talk) 22:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A similar IP46.71.29.196 has canvassed Yevevantsi, concerning the ethnicity of David the Invincible. Two socks of Armen888 had previously edited this article.[1][2]

Hello. First of all, thanks for creating Template:Translated blockquote. :) I recently used it in one of my articles when it was brought to my attention that it's showing a error message. It appears to be persistent on the template page itself. Would it possible for you to check it out and see if it's something easily fixable? Thank you. --Saxum (talk) 14:34, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saxum: Thanks for bringing this to my attention! It's the result of a recent changes to Module:Lang which removed some features. I've documented the changes that need to be made at Template talk:Lang § fn lang xx inherit parameter values removed and hope to implement it in the next few days. Daask (talk) 21:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Further conversation at Template talk:Lang § fn lang xx inherit parameter values removed indicates that the features of Template:Lang will soon be restored, so there is no further action needed specific to Template:Translated blockquote. Daask (talk) 15:39, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit of 16:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC) of Decline in insect populations has the summary "Make all citation templates Citation Style 1 for consistency per WP:CITEVAR". That's great, but you left a bunch of |postscript=., which were there in the first place to make the Citation templates display more like Cite templates. This generated numerous CS1 maint: postscript (link) warnings, although they might not have been displayed until more recently. So, please continue your efforts to "Make all citation templates Citation Style 1 for consistency per WP:CITEVAR", but when you do, please strip out |postscript=..

The article Common purse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

On August 6th, you added content to the Ad valorem tax article. This edit added 5 Harv cite errors to the article. Refs 13, 14, 15, & 16 are faulty and throwing Harv errors.

• The "harvtxt" ref for George 1897 - {{harvtxt|George|1897}} which is in the Analysis section & placed within the article text after "that is the consequence of land improvement in the area" - has no complete or target cite book/cite web/cite magazine etc reference to link to.
• {{sfn|Hooper|2008}}, {{sfn|Rothbard|2004}}, and {{sfn|Say|1880|p=447}}, these three have no complete citation to link to. If you would provide those citations and correct the harvtxt one that would probably get rid of the Harv errors.
  

If you don't have a Harv error script installed, go to User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors for an explanation and instructions on how to install that Harv error script. - Shearonink (talk) 16:56, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I realized it doesn't seem you would have access to the references that were added on August 6th of this year since the original "Hooper, 2008" was added by a 6-edit account in 2021. I'm going to try to find a WikiProject that would know wth "Hooper 2008" & the rest of the orphaned sfn refs are referring to. - Shearonink (talk) 21:16, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Daask, how are you? May I draw your attention to WP:CITEVAR, which starts: "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style, merely on the grounds of personal preference or to make it match other articles, without first seeking consensus for the change"? And particularly to WP:CITEVARNO, the "To be avoided" section: "adding citation templates to an article that already uses a consistent system without templates, or removing citation templates from an article that uses them consistently"? As it happens, I established the (list-defined, template-free) citation style in that particular article when I started it from a redirect in 2013 (that doesn't mean I own it, of course), so reverted your addition of the templates – which I'm sure was done in good faith, but was mistaken in the circumstances. WP:Edit-warring is never acceptable in this project (and obviously the CITEVAR guidance is there to prevent it); would you kindly self-revert your inappropriate re-addition of the templates? Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:14, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: When on the page (Permalink), I noticed that the archived links in the middle of the citation made the citations hard to read. These were likely introduced by a bot. I thought it was easiest to rectify this by introducing templates. I acknowledge that it was a mistake to do so on this page which had a consistent citation style without the use of citation templates, and will seek to be more careful about this in the future. I also should have been more clear in my edit summary of Diff/1312142524 that I wasn't restoring the templates, but rather only restored other citation improvements from my prior edit. Do you object to this edit? Daask (talk) 15:08, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! Thanks for your courteous reply to my grumpy message – clearly the coffee hadn't kicked in properly when I wrote that, my apologies! Your edits certainly contain some necessary improvements, for which thank you; I'll now try to keep those while fixing several things including those {{webarchive}} templates (my technique is to use the archived link (if it's needed) and blitz the rest of it). Thanks for your help, regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:59, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
