 * On Naughty Dog: I had to undo your edits. Per WP:MOSCAPS we do not use unnecessary capital letters, and although it is rather common, a job or particular function isn't written with capital letters. Per WP:DATE we try to use a uniformed date style on Wikipedia. So no Augustus 12th, but Augustus 12. Thanks, and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 09:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your attention. I am not very trained to edit Wikipedia. I edited back part of the date you undone. Please tell me if you approve. Thanks again. ACLNM (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Edits on Variants of SARS-CoV-2
Hi ACLNM, re recent edits on Variants of SARS-CoV-2, thanks for asking me, but ultimately I'm not too fussed how we arrange the references, provided that there's sufficient support to validate the text in the article. I'm not a great fan of the barrack-room lawyer approach where people quote Manuals of Style and all sorts of obscure Wikipedia abbreviations at each other- I try to stay within the general guidelines with what I do, but inevitably most of us make a mistake here and there... ultimately as far as I'm concerned, if it works, it works. I don't know in any detail what the 'MOS' says about multiple uses of the same reference, perhaps I should look it up so I'd know for the future. Also, I haven't disentangled the 'harv' templating stuff well enough to do much with it, but I've seen articles very nicely done with specific pages for each sentence... Sometimes when we try tidying things and forcing a fixed expectation onto the layout etc., it helps clarify our thinking; other times we gain that tidiness only at the expense of something else- accuracy, lack of ambiguity, details, specific-ness... in this case I think it's down to that last one and it's not a huge loss and I don't know how important it really is to specify the whole document for one ref and one specific page for two other refs pointing to the same document. Sometimes it's nice not to have to type or copy a search string to hunt through a document, so a page number just might save someone some tedium, but this is hardly the end of the world so on this front I'm not up for changing the state it's now in. I keep a bit of a weather eye on the article out of curiosity as much as anything, often there's some new aspect that someone's been able to incorporate which can be interesting and sometimes I can toss something in which I hope will help, or something pops up that I feel needs clarifying. I haven't got time to check all the details now, maybe the originator of those lines will come back at some stage and will either accept the present arrangement or re-build things, but for me, for now, it's good enough as it is (was it Voltaire who said 'Perfect is the enemy of good' (enough)?) (And someone else needs to say that we probably all have our thresholds for 'good enough' at different settings)... All best, - Yadsalohcin (talk) 01:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Friendly editor notice and Question
Hello ACLNM. I hope you don't mind, but on an unofficial Wikipedia twitter, (@WikiCurrentNews), which is used to updated people about new news on the Portal:Current events, I used your username + edit summary as the "consensus" to remove the information about the India new mutant of COVID-19. You can see the (tweet here). If you don't want to have your name on the tweet, please just let me know and I will be happy to remove it. Have a good day!
