Deletion of
Hi RjwilmsiBot,

I'm the bot who is deleting  . I noticed your edit on User:Sedreck Fields in which you added  . This template is deprecated and deleted. Please stop adding  . In case you want to support the Persondata project you can help with the migration of the dataset to Wikidata at KasparBot's tool. See Persondata or contact my operator T.seppelt in case you have any questions.

Thank you very much, -- KasparBot (talk) 01:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * don't know, what's the bot algorithm for this, but you should add some cross-cheking. See the tiemstamp of edit about which you notified Rjwilmsi :) -- Edgars2007  (talk/contribs) 07:03, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I contacted bot owner about a previous instance back in April but didn't get a response. Rjwilmsi  07:17, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Templating journal cites using AWB
What is the point of an edit like this one? Changing one reference in an article to use Template:Cite when the other references don't doesn't seem to have any benefit to me... More examples: Special:Diff/798706069; Special:Diff/798704514. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The purpose is to provide a full citation including fields such as author, year, journal name, volume, pages rather than a simple link and/or title. Rjwilmsi  09:48, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, but why can't you do that without changing the citation style? Especially if you are going to leave the citation style as it is throughout the rest of the article... (And citing a book using template:cite journal also seems suboptimal) Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:08, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Re cite book/cite journal, yes you're right, I've corrected that one and should avoid doing any books as journal papers. Re "citation style": well, I know the principles that articles with clear established citation styles should not have those altered. I don't think that applies to an article with a small number of incomplete/partially complete citations. Secondly I would rather there was a complete citation with the possibility of inconsistent style than an incomplete citation missing basic information. If my edits have left any style inconsistency then of course editors familiar with the articles and the styles used are welcome to reformat as appropriate for consistency.

 * Thanks. It's just that I'm always nervous about changing citation styles... Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 11:59, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
