References and parenthesis
You moved a reference outside of a parenthetical statement over at Diana Schutz.

I understand the instinct, but per MOS:REFPUNCT, parentheticals are an exception to the usual reference-after-punctuation rules. If the reference is just for material inside the parentheses (as in this case it was), the reference also goes inside.

I've undone your edit.

Hi! In modal logic, you edited a sentence that now reads:  C. I. Lewis founded modern modal logic in a series of scholarly articles beginning in 1912 with " ".  Maybe you just forgot to complete that sentence and the reference? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 18:20, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

RE: en.everybodywiki.com
Hello, I believe you endorsed my article Metabasis Paradox, now accepted. During the process, everybodywiki.com took both the Metabasis article and the same piece by another title (you may remember when I changed the title). The admin who controls everybodywiki.com, a Wikipedian username WikiMaster (?) got mad when I blanked both pages repeatedly while awaiting acceptance at Wikipedia. So he or she blocked me, and maye that's OK. But though WikiMaster has taken down Metabasis Paradox from everybodywiki, they seem reluctunt to take down Change of Fortune Paradox. Isn't everybodywiki.com not entitled to that article, since it is the same article, and now accepted at Wikipedia? I wonder if you know anyone who can help in this matter. If not, thanks for reading this and your other help.Cdg1072 (talk) 05:00, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

MOS:SIR
You've misinterpreted this guideline - "Sir"/"Dame" is part of the name. MOS:SIR: "The infobox heading includes pre-nominals, name and post-nominals as separate elements. The title is placed in bold in the first use of the name". I agree its a bit ambiguous but it would be better to raise this at the MOS talk page and get consensus for a mass change, rather than doing it piecemeal article by article and introducing inconsistencies within series.

Mundane science fiction edits
Given your latest edit comment "I am quoting the style guide itself, not a talk page" you apparently misunderstood my edit comment/revert reason. I wasn't suggesting you quoted the talk page - I believe the style guide you quoted doesn't mean what you think it means. The talk link wasn't my "source" - it is my way of inviting you to join the discussion, which, again, is at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section.

Citations needed
I have been going around and adding "citation needed" for various foreign-language titles I find. It's not that I don't trust the translations or that I'm a fascist, but I have honestly seen edit-wars over the correct transliteration of something, and if there's one thing that can resolve an edit-war over such content, it's a reliable source that indicates what the actual term should be. I haven't been dropping talk-page messages for these, I am not sure they are strictly necessary for a single "cn" but forgive me if they are. Elizium23 (talk) 20:29, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Late Wittgenstein
I see from guidelines that I probably should have started a talk with you first before undoing (I'm a relatively infrequent editor and have never had such a dispute before), but better late than never.

If you still think that my edit is incorrect and that my analysis (that the cited page does not actually define the term "late Ludwig Wittgenstein"), please let's discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Presnick (talk • contribs) 21:31, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Re this: Wikipedia should define the terms 'early Wittgenstein' and 'late Wittgenstein.' There is a dilemma between having such definitions included in The New Wittgenstein and having them included in Ludwig Wittgenstein. That is all. I might as well move the definitions from the former article to the latter article. --Omnipaedista (talk) 21:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

'Italics' template
Just for curiosity: why do you place italic title on top of an article where it will never need editing? I understand having date format there, because it will be helpful to avoid mistakes introduced by later editors. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The documentation of 'italics' templates instructs that they be placed on top of the article – e.g., Template:Italic dab/doc explicitly says, "place this template in the article, normally at the top." Italics templates used to be the very first element of an article. Recently 'short description' became the very first element as per WP:SDPLACE (I had to make this edit so that the documentation reflects the new MoS). --Omnipaedista (talk) 08:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the documentation says so, but it's an extra line for some possibly new editor who enters editing the article and will have No Idea why that is there and what it does. We could just not follow the documentation if it doesn't make sense, no? Or we could change the documentation. It makes no sense once established to have it on top. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, we could change it but this issue should be raised first in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Layout. Actually, this issue has already been discussed there (Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Layout/Archive 14) but discussion did not lead to any changes. --Omnipaedista (talk) 08:28, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Lead pronunciation: comma or semicolon?
Manual of Style/Lead section says Relevant foreign-language names, such as in an article on a person who does not themselves write their name in English, are encouraged. Separate languages should be divided by semicolons, and romanizations of non-Latin scripts by commas.

I see your point that it may be interpreted to consider IPA transcriptions in different languages no different from names in different languages, but take this into account: unlike IPA transcriptions, foreign names
 * 1) are not enclosed in square brackets or slashes;
 * 2) may include commas themselves (as in film titles etc.)
 * 3) may be spelled in a different alphabet and need a romanization, which as specified goes after a comma too.

This is usually not the case for pronunciations, and I have actually most of the time seen them separated by commas, especially when they are followed by a different name after a semicolon (e.g. hypothetically “Paris (, ; Parigi)”). I believe this works better to suggest that the first list refers to the same spelling. I tried to find something more specific but neither MOS:LEADPRON nor MOS:PRON seem to treat this. 〜 イヴァンスクルージ九十八 ［IvanScrooge98］ （ 会話 ） 19:16, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

(I have also several times redacted leads in this fashion, as overtime I assumed that is how it is supposed to be. 〜 イヴァンスクルージ九十八 ［IvanScrooge98］ （ 会話 ） 19:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC))

Zizek Bibliography: deletion of Russia Today publications
Hello Omnipaedista,

I write to you, because you have been editing the Slavoj Žižek Page. I'm editing the Zizek bibliography. Here I also mention the op-ed publications on Russia Today. There is a WP editor who holds the opinion, that these edits violate RSP. I can't see how this is applicable. You can read my argument here. The editor doesn't respond.

If you have an interest in the subject, I would be happy, if you could contribute your opinion. If you don't have an interest, maybe you know someone else who might have?

With kind regards.

Hi Omnipaedista

My addition to the sub-list 'Religious organizations' in the list of wealthiest organizations has been removed without a reason by you. The citation is a verified one from Forbes.

Nowhere on the Diaehi page are the sources that are placed on Nairi's page.

What is etymology?
Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom. That wiki gives a definition of etymology, followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here), almost all of them being similar to these three:
 * Etymology of absolute zero: Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
 * Etymology of fire: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
 * Etymology of Shiva: Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]

Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project and Wikipedia Etymology Task Force, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * These are not etymologies, these are mere dictionary definitions. --Omnipaedista (talk) 16:01, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind answer. For your information, I agree with you, while the Final Fantasy Fandom states that etymology means "detailing the origins of terminology used in the series in regards to real world culture and history". --Abacos (talk) 13:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Reverting changes to infoboxes
You reverted changes to infoboxes on both Heraclitus and Parmenides citing "unexplained removal of citations" - however, nothing removed was cited, and much of the material you added back in was unsupported by the body of the article.
