Fictions
The term is "fiction", not "fictions". Prhartcom (talk) 18:29, 25 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, and thanks for commenting! I created Category:Interactive fictions as a "set category" for the fictional works, as opposed to the "topic category" Category:Interactive fiction. The plural "interactive fictions" is used in some published sources, and it's in Wiktionary (not added by me). However, it's true that "fiction" is usually a non-count noun. Do you think "Interactive fiction works" or "Works of interactive fiction" would be an improvement? EALacey (talk) 19:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply! I think you convinced me to leave it alone. The Wiktionary entry was convincing (although the following example is for a different kind of fiction than what we're talking about: "The company’s accounts contained a number of blatant fictions.") Even the Wikipedia article on fiction says "these kinds of fictions" one time (although it uses fiction as an uncountable noun a few other times). And I see what you mean how "set categories" are always plural. Prhartcom (talk) 19:19, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Personally, I can't stand "Interactive fictions". I prefer "Works of interactive fiction". Ntsimp (talk) 14:34, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Proteus
When you say based on the article, do you mean the Wikipedia page itself? The article itself cannot be used as a source. I've made that mistake multiple times before I was finally told it can't be used. Here's why: "Wikipedia articles (and Wikipedia mirrors) are not reliable sources for any purpose" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources. It's under the section describing primary, secondary, and tertiary sources.Dohvahkiin (talk) 14:30, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd seen that the Wikipedia page described Proteus as having an open world and hadn't noticed that the sources cited didn't cover this statement. EALacey (talk) 14:45, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Discussion on Layla Moran talk page
There is a rather spirited discussion currently ongoing at Talk:Layla Moran. Seeing as you are an experienced editor that recently edited the page, I would appreciate if you could chime in with your view, in the interests of finding a consensus one way or the other.

Alexandra Phillips MEP and Alexandra Phillips MEP
Hello. I noticed you'd edited a page on a newly elected UK MEP who could be confused with one with an identical name. I think some of the disambiguation issues have been resolved, but there is a question of titling one or both pages. I'd like to invite you to comment at Talk:Alexandra L. Phillips. --Cedderstk 21:34, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
