User talk:Gnuish

A few shortcuts around Wikipedia, to make you feel perennially welcome.


 * Getting started : Make a short userpage! Everyone's wary of a redlink.  Edit your preferences to verify your email and set up email alerts, say for when someone leaves you new talkpage messages.


 * Helpful links : Editing || Writing a great article || Naming and Merging || Style Manual || Policies What Wikipedia is not


 * Maintenance : Deleting articles || all maintenance tasks (see also open tasks, below)

I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian on en:. You can also leave questions on my talk page. :)

Regards, +sj +

Greetings

 * Kudos. Your edit summary on effect size is exactly right...  if only I had the patience for that kind of editing! –  SJ  +

Hello from the archive!
Hey great to meet you at Internet Archive just now! The bug I was thinking about in the wikitext editor today was fixed back in April last year T191230 but it was present for quite a few months.

Have you tried editing on mobile recently and seen the same bug as described in that ticket? If so let me know the device you are using and an example article where the bug occurs and I'll make sure we get that fixed! Jdlrobson (talk) 00:07, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Frank Zappa
The question started as: Does Frank Zappa belong in category "American anti-fascists"? Gnuish (talk) 09:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Please show evidence of him actively opposing fascists or Nazis as a movement or writing anti-fascist material. Using the word "fascist" once as a pejorative isn't good enough. The category "American anti-fascists" is already been overused. LittleJerry (talk) 01:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * what do you think? LittleJerry (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * After three reverts by LittleJerry (talk), he started this discussion on my talk page, and I started one on his. It turns out he's been deleting this category from a bunch of articles.  This note is to cross-reference to the discussion on his talk page.  Gnuish (talk) 09:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * You should probably check out Categories for discussion/Log/2020 December 15. That category was deleted and reinstated because people overused the category for articles that barely mentioned communism and so needed a fresh new start. Now, the burden is on you to add information on Zappa actively opposing fascism/nazism. LittleJerry (talk) 13:21, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Life has gotten a little busy and I don't have too much time to dig in, but: do reliable sources describe him as such? - The Bushranger One ping only 23:05, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Genevieve Grotjan
Why did you remove the external link to the UB article on Genevieve: https://www.buffalo.edu/atbuffalo/article-page-spring-2018.host.html/content/shared/www/atbuffalo/articles/Spring-2018/features/an-american-hero.detail.html University at Buffalo It seems useful and informative to me. BuffaloBob (talk) 15:06, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for keeping a keen eye on Buffalonians! I did it because before my edit, it was already cited three separate times in the body of the article.  When I merged those, it left a better-described link to the At Buffalo article (with better metadata, e.g. the author, date, etc) in the References section just below where I deleted the fourth copy of it.  I do think it is the best available short biography of Genevieve, which is why it's now cited six times in the body of the article.  --Gnuish (talk) 19:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
