Disambiguation link notification for February 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Automotive industry in Japan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Otomo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Have you considered using the template?
Hello.

I have noticed that you have been doing a lot of great work in creating or adding information to articles concerning defunct banks and other financial institutions that have either failed (i.e., American Savings and Loan) or were involved in some sort of strange incident (i.e., First Interstate Bancorp and its unwitting involvement in a Swiss bank failure and illegal investments in cocoa futures fiasco).

However, I would like to mention a few tips for improving your behind-the-scenes article coding style that would vast improve the behind-the-scenes quality of your articles and help the Wikipedia article maintenance bots like InternetArchiveBot and also other human editors who may need to edit your articles in the future.

In particular, I would like to point out your writing style in your use of refs (citations).

This is an example of one of your citations that you wrote on American Savings and Loan:

which renders:


 * New Figures Rank Collapse of American S&L as Costliest Ever Los Angeles Times May 20, 1994

Unfortunately, the method that you are currently using is very old and is not very bot-friendly because bots cannot easily read this format, or really a lack of a standard format. (This scenario is similar to that of having MS Word trying to read information from a JPEG image file instead of retrieving simple text information from a MySQL server.)

However, if you are able to use the cite template or its many variants cite news, cite web, cite book, cite press release, cite encyclopedia, cite AV media, [cite episode, etc., would make it much easier for the bots to catalog citations, sort the information, change the format of the citations en mass, export citations to a citation manager, check if the website link is still good, and even archive the citations.

This is the same reference using the cite news template:

which renders:



If you are able to use cite templates, you would make things much easier much easier for everyone involved to perform on going maintenance of your articles, especially when the URL links changes or go stale.

If need examples of articles that almost exclusively use the cite templates, I would suggest look at the citation coding behind the articles for Star Banc Corporation, U.S. Bancorp, Firstar Corporation, First Bank System, Washington Mutual, Great Western Bank, and Bank One Corporation as examples.

Please let me know if you have any questions. -68.45.25.137 (talk) 03:58, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
