Solar One
Hello, I realized you edited a page I made last year. The other day I made another page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Solar_One_(spacecraft), but reviewers are declining its approval. Would you be able to please help me? I think the page I submitted meets all the wikipedia rules: several, notable, secondary, indenpendent, relevant sources that cover the topic in detail. The reviewers are saying that the my page isn't 'interesting', 'notable' and 'peer-reviewed', but I think none of those are reasons to decline a submission. The article of the page has been covered in detail by several notable and relevant media and magazines. Your help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albertheditor (talk • contribs) 03:05, June 26, 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on state legislative election articles!
Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for working on them - I notice that they tend to get neglected compared to US House/US Senate/Gubernatorial elections, which is frustrating as they often have more influence on people's day-to-day lives. So, I really appreciate your work on them. Elliot321 (talk &#124; contribs) 20:28, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! There's a lot of work to be done on them and it's not so hard but makes the info (with very transparent sourcing unlike on Ballotpedia) so much easier to find. DemonDays64 (talk) 22:11, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wish Ballotpedia cited their sources better. Sadly, they are often one of the only decent sources of data, especially for elections of past years. Is there a particular tool you use to create the maps? For 2016 Nevada State Senate election, I used census data with qgis and inkscape to deal with the final SVG file, but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Elliot321 (talk &#124; contribs) 23:51, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * for File:2016 Connecticut State Senate Election.svg, I simply edited the 2018 map by User:CosmicKanan in the Atom text editor — that map was already set up so it was pretty easy to change the classes on each district's SVG to match the election's data. (So far I haven't made any other maps). As a tip, to make it a lot easier to make other maps with the same shapes, I recommend you store the CSS styling for each kind of district (i.e. D flip, R flip, D hold, R hold) in a style tag. Thus you just have to put the class on the appropriate objects when mapping different data. DemonDays64 (talk) 01:06, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, cool. I've generally been using Inkscape instead of editing the text directly or I think I would do that. Maybe there's a way to do it in Inkscape? I'm still somewhat new to this, too. Elliot321 (talk &#124; contribs) 03:34, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * not sure what Inkscape lets you do with classes. But I found that, with my minor amount of HTML/CSS expertise, an organized SVG wasn't so tough to edit — even though I've never used XML and don't really know what it is tbh. DemonDays64 (talk) 06:52, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I was originally editing them by hand before I found Inkscape too - so I'll keep that in mind if I do that again (I was manually swapping the colors, not fun). Elliot321 (talk &#124; contribs) 07:05, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to AutoHotkey does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

URL template
Please read the documentation at URL It passes the client through and the target can rewrite to secure if the browser can handle it while if it cannot, it will not. However if you force secure and the browser cannot handle the secure layer (for whatever reason) they will not be able to see the destination. The protocol is therefore not required.

Regarding this edit - is there a reason you listed Amy Kennedy as a former wife of Ted's nephew Patrick? This threw me for a loop because Patrick is Ted's son, and Amy and Patrick are (as far as I can tell) still married. 174.204.72.11 (talk) 07:09, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Tag on Interlingue for clarification
Hi there,

I'm the main maintainer of the page on Interlingue and gave the first section a bit of a rewrite after seeing your tag. The sentence you flagged is an old one that has been there since before I began expanding the page and now the second paragraph deals with the subject better so I deleted it and made a bit of a rewrite, but feel free to put the tag back if it's not satisfactory. Or are you looking for sources that the language is part of the naturalistic school of auxlangs? If so then let me know, as I can easily come up with a few references from Cosmoglotta and elsewhere.

Suggestion re NH results
I agree that 26 votes is hardly worth the mention in the chart. It might be reasonable to write a sentence or two under the chart itself indicating that, per tradition, those three small towns completed their voting in the first hour of election day, with the results of X, Y, Z. You could reference Decision Desk HQ (which Twitter considers a reliable source) and CNN for Dixville Notch, I've yet to find a second source for the other two towns (Dixville and Millsfield). Gonna be honest, I'd like to see a minimum of 2 RS's for all "projections" and results. Risker checklist (talk) 05:57, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * yeah I also had two sources for a second before deciding not. Sort of related — what's the consensus on how to treat tweets from verified accounts of journalists at reliable sources? Can they be used as a reference? DemonDays64 (talk) 06:09, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do a quick Google before adding a Citation Needed tag. Thanks.
A quick comment on. The sentence clearly says that it is referring to the New York Times. If you type "Fetterman NYTIMES" or "Fetterman New York Times" into Google, literally the very first result is clearly the article being referenced by this sentence. Please reserve cn tags for a last resort when you can't find a source. Otherwise you're just creating situations that other editors have to clean up.

License tagging for File:Antonio James Manchin.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Antonio James Manchin.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:30, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Error introduced by script
Hi DemonDays64, I'm letting you know that this edit introduced a reference error ("Cite error: The named reference Manila Note II was invoked but never defined (see the help page)."). —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:35, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm! Thanks for letting me know. While my script was used in that edit, if you look at the code there is nothing that would have touched the reference that got broken -- it only edits four kinds of characters, none of which were in the Manila Note II reference. I don't know how notes work to be honest but the problem I assume is that  was removed from the reference, as that was the only change to it. ProveIt was used and edits references, so it's probably a problem with that one?

Hi
You left a message on my talk page saying one of my edits was reverted because 'it did not appear to be constructive'. While I understand it was removed because of the lack of a primary source, I think it is unfair to assume that I had bad intentions with it. I have seen many people on 'potential candidates' lists that link to someone proposing them to run, even if the person themself has not said anything about it. I understand if that is a greater issue that needs to be fixed on a wider scale, but I was not trying to be disruptive. I don't think you had bad intentions in assuming I had bad intentions either, but I'm just saying I meant well. Bird25 (talk) 15:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Bird25
