Much mahalo! Lfstevens (talk) 06:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Your expertise?

Hi Lfstevens apologies for reaching out here. I'm a researcher studying & starting to contribute to WikiMed. I'm particularly interested in the work on the [Burden of Disease Study]. noticed you've contributed to the section "Results" - can I email you a few questions on that or post them here?

Thanks for considering! --Whiskiz (talk) 10:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Flattered that you ask. I have 0 medical expertise. I copyedit and add reliably sourced facts that interest me. 19:23, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Missing cites in Empowerment evaluation

The article has quite a few errors in citations, most seem to be originating from your edits back in 2013. The article uses the following short cites, but there is no corresponding source is listed in the bibliography:

• Fetterman 2005, pp. 98-107 and Fetterman 2005, pp. 107-121. --> a typo in year? (err in orig. fixed)
• Fetterman 2001, p. 113. --> a typo in year? (err in orig. Is it 2001a or 2001b? not fixed.)
• Wandersman et al. 2000 (didn't see a 2000. there was a 2004/2005 mismatch. fixed.)
• Imm, Chinman & Wandersman 2006 (err in orig. no fix.)
• Fisher et al. 2006. (ditto)
• Sabo 2001. (ditto)
• Miller & Campbell 2006. (fixed)
• Smith 2007 (Fixed)

Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]] to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 02:01, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I'll fix as best I can. Lfstevens (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

References inadvertently mangled

This edit mangles the references in the lead section of the article. I suspect whatever tool you were using doesn't always work properly. I've cleaned this up, but not checked your other contribs. 81.187.27.126 (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for noticing. In future, if I break something, LMK and I'll happily fix it. No need to trouble yourself.

We seem to be copyediting the same article

Hey Lfstevens, it seems we're both working on List of fictional presidents of the United States (K–M). Seeing as you started copyediting before I did, could I just take credit for §L and let you do the rest? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 20:29, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

As you like. Happy to retire and let you have it.

Understood; I'll finish it up. If you could remove the {{cleanup tense}} template on other articles before starting so that it's removed from the backlog I think we can avoid future mixups. Feel free to claim credit for §K. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 20:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Usually, I finish them in one pass, but this was a long one. Lfstevens (talk) 22:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Number of articles for July GOCE copy editing drive

On the July 2021 GOCE copy editing drive page you have 11 articles listed in your detailed entry but have claimed 33 on the leaderboard. In the past you have done quite a bit of off-the-books copy editing. What is the situation here? What should the score be? Dhtwiki (talk) 04:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Wow. I must have been really tired when I did that update. My number is of course 11. I also did several hundred shorties, but I don't count them. Lfstevens (talk) 07:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Small Modular Reactors

Hi I was wondering if you could help me remove the template message on Small modular reactors. I am new to Wikipedia and want to improve the page on SMRs. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what needs to be done in a specific section of the lead article and how the template message can be removed. ScientistBuilder (talk) 19:54, 5 August 2021 (UTC)ScientistBuilderScientistBuilder (talk) 19:54, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

I'll take a look. Lfstevens (talk) 21:28, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, just wondering - what's the point of all the non-breaking spaces? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Used a utility to clean up references. It put them in. I don't know why and it makes no sense. Sorry.

Hmm. Never seen ReFill do that. Oh well. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Uyghur genocide

Just FYI there are discretionary sanctions on the Uyghur genocide so I would resist reverting if I were you. I would also go back and take a look at your edits, its pretty sloppy work... You appear to have search-replaced detainees with internees including in a quote among other things. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 04:58, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

You should also stop referring to edits like the above and [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] as copy edits (ce) in edit summaries as these edits go way far beyond copy edits. Those are serious and major edits to those articles. In some cases they’re basically cleanup level re-writes. You can’t call that ce anymore. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 05:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I have actually never done an actual revert in >10 years.

You did an “actual revert” yesterday [8] (or today depending on where you live). Congratulations. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

By "revert", I mean "clicked the revert button". Didn't do that.

Thats not what we here on wikipedia mean by WP:REVERT. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in the Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Bad edits...

Lfstevens... We just talked about this... To me this[9] looks like a sloppy error ridden edit with the misleading edit summary “CE” For example you changed "In October 2020, more countries at the UN joined the condemnation of China over human rights abuses in Xinjiang with German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen speaking on behalf of the group.” to "In October 2020, more countries joined the UN's condemnation. German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen spoke on behalf of the group” despite that being inaccurate and clearly not supported by the source. WP:CIR, if you cant make good edits you shouldn’t be editing... Horse Eye's Back (talk) 08:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm completely missing what you're complaining about.

The UN never condemned anything, they aren’t joining the UN’s condemnation they’re joining a condemnation made at the UN. You completely missing this is why I linked WP:CIR. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Can you please be more specific about your objections? I made many changes and can't even tell which one(s) you're objecting to. Alternatively, instead of reverting a bunch of innocuous improvements because you object to one you find objectionable, either fix the issue or let me know about and I will do so. I'm not fighting you. I'm trying to turn a steaming pile into something that ordinary folks might find informative. I've only just begun.... Lfstevens (talk) 06:23, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

I have been more specific in our discussion on your talk page, please respond there. If you’re suggesting that you’ve only just begun disrupting wikipedia I would caution you, that will likely lead to a block or a ban. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Have a great life. I'm done trying to collaborate with you. Lfstevens (talk) 17:48, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Thats a shame, just FYI my door is always open to collaboration and I think you could be a great editor if you slowed down and focused less on quantity and more on quality. If you introduce errors along with innocuous improvements the page is poorer for your attention. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Continued use of misleading edit summaries

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use edit summaries that are misleading, intentionally or not, as you did at SoftBank Group, you may be blocked from editing. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Please stop with the threats. Lfstevens (talk) 00:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Request for a more through copy edit

Hi, thanks a lot for your copyedit in SpaceX Starship! Since I am pretty new to wikipedia, I don't really have a lot of skill at copyediting, so your future help on the article is greatly appriciated! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 03:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

My pleasure! Lfstevens (talk) 19:27, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to thank you for your c/e of the article, I realize its a long article, should any updates be needed I would respond immediately, thank you again--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 02:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

More to do. Thanks for noticing. Lfstevens (talk) 08:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I usually don't, but you can add if you want. Lfstevens (talk) 00:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

thank you, Merry Christmas!--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 02:36, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

GOCE c/e request

Hi Lfstevens, I noticed you've accepted the GOCE c/e request for this article and have done some work on it but you haven't updated its status. I also see that article has been extensively edited in the last day or so. If that editing is causing problems, maybe the request should be declined. Please let us know your intentions about the request. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 08:58, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

All done. Thanks for the reminder. Lfstevens (talk) 00:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Thoughts on SpaceX Starship now?

Hi, I remember you as a copyeditor for the article when it is nominated for GAN, and I think you would love to copyedit the article now. It is expanded, tightened, and written in summary style, and probably much easier to copyedit than the last time. Thanks a lot in advance! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 09:25, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I would like to. In the middle of another project right now. I'll try to get to it. Lfstevens (talk) 19:26, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Don't feel rushed, you have plenty of time. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 01:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Finished. LMK if more is needed or if any errors need to be corrected. Merry XMAS. Lfstevens (talk) 16:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Same to you. Thanks a lot for your work on the article! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 16:51, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
