Re: Isaac Asimov
Richard, I was a little confused by your revert on the article Isaac Asimov with the edit summary he didn't go to that Columbia. If you take a look at the article, it seems he did:

"After two rounds of rejections by medical schools, Asimov applied to the graduate program in chemistry at Columbia in 1939; initially rejected and then only accepted on a probationary basis, he completed his Master of Arts degree in chemistry in 1941 and earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in chemistry in 1948. (During his chemistry studies he also learned French and German.)"

Given that these are graduate degrees in science, they would indeed be granted by the Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (which is a school within Columbia University). In fact, Asimov is listed in the alumni at. If your understanding of this differs, let me know BenKuykendall (talk) 21:26, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Five years was indeed the correct length of the experimental suspension of the death penalty, as specifically stated in the source (BBC News). The start of the suspension was back-dated to the date of the two last hangings in 1964. Romomusicfan (talk) 08:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * ‪ Would you mind taking a look at this one please? There's no overlap on the IP, which means to me that the only way they could have picked this autoblock up would be by using the same device, right? SQL Query me!  00:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. I can't properly explain it, however I think it's really highly likely to be one of those unfortunate coincidences where a vandal's IP was reassigned to this user, who was then prevented from editing. It is also a recent block, with the vandal still currently active elsewhere. As far as I can tell, there is no current autoblock remaining. Richard75, if you still experience this problem post here again, and any admin should feel welcome to remove the autoblock. -- zzuuzz (talk) 01:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Richard75! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Joe Biden that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. ― Tartan357  Talk 06:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello. Just a heads up. I changed the wording back to "extremely similar," as that's what the source says. If we say "somewhat," we are editorializing I believe. They may be slightly exaggerating but I don't think we should change the wording of the source so directly. Thank you. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on it. Maybe there's another way we can change it? But for now I'm just putting the source's language. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 00:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I think I figured out a solution. I just said similar. That way it won't be editorialized or sound exaggerated. I'll look at the other ref as well. There may be a better way to phrase it. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 00:20, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Is Template:Asimov short-story collections a navigational box?
The code of the template Asimov short-story collections starts with. So it seems to me that Template:Asimov short-story collections is a navigational box. Could you please clarify why did you rollback categorization of this template into Category:Isaac Asimov navigational boxes? —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:24, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * To clarify, Category:Isaac Asimov navigational boxes is a subcategory of Category:Isaac Asimov templates. It seems that my edit is in line with the WP:CATSPECIFIC guideline. —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:33, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
