Happy editing! Kleuske (talk) 14:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I hope what we're doing on the sine and cosine page does not turn into an edit war. If you wish, I would be happy to get rid of the qualifier "decimal." But I do think it's wrong to say "amount" and put the explanation in a footnote. Wuffuwwuf (talk) 14:12, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited China Initiative, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ASBMB. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copyediting
Wuffuwwuf, I just looked through the edit history on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization page, and I saw that you've been doing a ton of good copyediting there, and then I clicked on your contribs and saw that you've been doing a ton of good copyediting all over Wikipedia; it made me happy to see. Good show! I want you to know that I appreciate it. Joe (talk) 03:49, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much; I'm glad to know you think they're good copyedits, because I think your copyedits are good. It's helpful to know you think I'm doing things right.Wuffuwwuf (talk) 04:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Links to dab pages
Re this edit: There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing. Pam D  07:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks again. ByVarying (talk) 07:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
