Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:57, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Microregion of Frederico Westphalen

Hi, I'm Robvanvee. YuriNikolai, thanks for creating Microregion of Frederico Westphalen!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article needs sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Black letter Wycliffe

Hallo, I see that you created this redirect (and a couple of variations) but there seems to be no mention of the term at the target article Wycliffe's Bible. Could you please add some sourced information to that article to explain the redirect? Thanks. PamD 20:52, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Triglochin maritima

Many plants produce cyanogenic glycosides, including almonds and other related species, such as apricot kernels, the seeds of which are eaten by humans as food and flavouring constituents of amaretto, amaretti, marzipan, etc. Clover, can also be cyanogenic, but is a valuable forage crop, etc. The fact that these plants are cyanogenic is not sufficient to label them as "toxic" in the lead, especially when there is no qualifying information in the body of the article. To whom or to what are they toxic?, in what circumstances are they cyanogenic? Would humans need to be concerned about the cyanogenic activity of Triglochin maritima? I am not aware that it forms part of human diet, but farmers may want to keep their animals from grazing it. I would not object to you writing a balanced section of the article stating under what circumstances readers need to be concerned about the cyanogenic activity of Triglochin, with reliable sources. However, the opening sentences of the lead are not the place to label the plant as toxic without specifying context. The lead is supposed to be a summary of main points made in the body of the article.

As for the name, there are several synonyms for Triglochin maritima, (see e.g. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=triglochin+maritima) but in plant articles these are typically listed in the taxobox or species box, and not listed in the opening sentences of the lead. Again, if the naming needs to be discussed or explained in extenso then it would be appropriate to do that in a section of the article, not in the lead.

Finally, if there is more to be discussed on these topics, it would be appropriate to do so on the article's talk page rather than on mine, so that other editors can join the discussion. Plantsurfer 06:26, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Morse (1784 ship)

Hi YuriNikolai: Please fix or remove the incorrect short description that you added to the article Morse (1784 ship). She was not launched in 1784, she was launched in 1747, under an unknown name. We do not know which Royal Navy vessel she originally was. Morse was at least her sixth name; she may have had others before between when she left the Royal Navy and 1775, and none was her name while in the Royal Navy. Please, before you add a short description, read the article to be sure that you understand it and that the short description that you add is correct. Thanks. Acad Ronin (talk) 09:56, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Acad Ronin:Well, the article is removed. In case it was moved instead of deleted, do you know where it can be found now? YuriNikolai (talk) 23:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi YuriNikolai: I fixed the links in my comment above; the typos were the source of the earlier redlink in my comment. The nearest short description that would be accurate would be something like "Whaling ship (1784–1802)". Regards,Acad Ronin (talk) 00:02, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"widely considered the greatest chess player of his time and the unofficial second World Chess Championship" doesn't make any sense; what did you mean? --JBL (talk) 00:43, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me, i meant to write "Second Champion", with a link to the Championships, instead of the unfiltered link. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. YuriNikolai (talk) 01:28, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! (That would have been my guess, but I thought it would be better to check.) --JBL (talk) 01:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spacing fixes

Hi YuriNikolai, and thanks for your recent contributions. I happen to have "Fish and Chips" on my watchlist, and noticed the edit you just made there. I'm not sure if you know, but Wikipedia displays double spaces as a single space. Making an edit just to fix them doesn't actually do anything, but it means other editors may spend time examining your edits. If you're fixing something else, it's usually ok to remove them (though some editors purposely put a double space at the end of every sentences and may be unhappy if they're all removed). But edits purely to adjust non-displaying whitespace should probably be avoided. Thought you might like to know... --IamNotU (talk) 21:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@IamNotU: Hello, i was unaware of Wikipedia automatically displaying those spaces as single ones. I thank you for letting me know that, as i have done many of these edits without knowing they are superfluous. As for intentional double spaces, i always avoid removing them when an article uses them consistently. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll stop doing removing duplified spaces when i have nothing else to edit in an article. Cheers! YuriNikolai (talk) 22:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok good, sorry to bother you about such a small thing, anyway thanks for your understanding... --IamNotU (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed

Full disclosure: I created {{citation needed}}. Could you review the discussion going on at the talk page. My name got removed (again). It would be nice to be credited, it’s a great conversational piece for me. Though people generally tend to wonder off at parties. Go figure!

And frankly, it’s frustrating when I mention I created it. I get “citation needed”, which I used to be able to counter. Not now though!
