Schwede, how come you have like a thousand COIs with politicians? Are you the wikipedia account of John Key? 122.60.80.64 (talk) 02:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Get a life (and an account if you want to be taken seriously).  Schwede 66  03:09, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I did'nt know that asking editors about COIs is considered trolling. 122.60.80.64 (talk) 03:57, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Of course it's trolling when you baselessly accuse another editor of being the online presence of a former prime minister.  Schwede 66  05:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * And it's also trolling when block evasion is involved ... Graham 87 13:20, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

The 'newspaper' parameter in citation templates
Hi Schwede66. I notice that you have been changing the 'newspaper' parameter to 'work' in citation templates. I use the 'newspaper' parameter a lot and thought it was perfectly good. On checking Cite news it appears that the 'newspaper' parameter is a valid, non-deprecated alias. Does it have some disadvantage that means it is better to use 'work' and better to change 'newspaper' where it has been used? Thanks. Nurg (talk) 02:14, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Kia ora Nurg, I have found that some combination of the cite web template and the  parameter results in the citation not producing an italicised newspaper title. Whilst that is not the case with the   parameter in the cite news template, the way I've set up a variety of rules in my AWB allows me to reliably fix that. You are correct that the change in conjunction with the cite news template isn't necessary, but those edits are always incidental results of something else that I'm working on. Hope that explains it; be in touch if you have further questions or concerns.  Schwede  66  02:34, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. I don't generally use 'newspaper' in Cite web, so no issue with what you're doing there. If you could refine your rules in AWB to do the Cite web ones but not the Cite news ones, that would be good, though it's not too big a deal. It does make it easier when viewing diffs if there are no changes that have no value. Nurg (talk) 04:50, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, the newspaper tag contains the vital semantic data that the source of the news is a newspaper, rather than a website, journal, magazine, or other synonym (except they're not quite real synonyms, which is the point!). My $0.02 anyway. Jon (talk) 05:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Jon. You also capture that by choosing  as opposed to  .  Schwede  66  17:11, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions
Hi, there I just wanted to say thank you very much for the feedback you gave me regarding the Dope Saint Jude article. I appreciate the help. Hope you have a good day Nikkidiscovers (talk) 10:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Move back of Curie (rocket engine)
Hey! I was curious why you moved back the page Rocket Lab Cuire to Curie (rocket engine). In the summary you gave "a) this probably needs some discussion and b) that's not how you spell the scientist". While I understand reason a. Not sure about b. "Curie" is spelled correctly? Why is Rocket Lab Rutherford allowed but not Rocket Lab Cuire? (to make it clear, the reason for the move is here where Rutherford (rocket engine) was moved to Rocket Lab Rutherford for the reason WP:NATURALDAB. Other pages like: So moved it also for consistency. I thought it also goes along with the consensus made at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spaceflight/Archive 8 but obviously I'm wrong. From what I understand "Rocket Lab Curie" does make it sound like the name of the scientist (and hence its spelt wrong?), just don't understand why Rocket Lab Rutherford is ok but Rocket Lab Cuire is not? And these two rocket engines are the only two I think of that has people's name in it? Thanks, sorry if I sound condescending - not my intent. OkayKenji (talk • contribs) 17:42, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * SpaceX Merlin
 * SpaceX Kestrel
 * SpaceX Raptor
 * SpaceX Draco
 * Rocketdyne F-1
 * SpaceX Dragon


 * The scientist's name was spelled "Cuire" and obviously, that is not correct. Therefore, the article had to be moved. I'm unconvinced that WP:NATURALDAB applies in this case and was therefore not prepared to simply correct the spelling, but moved it back to the disambiguated form. I suggest that this should be put through a formal move request and the reasons that you put forward here would be a good rationale but I suggest that you add something about usage of the suggested name by news media.  Schwede 66  21:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh my! I'm so stupid. Haha. Thanks for catching that. I'm an idiot. Yah I'll request the move formally. Again sorry to bother you! OkayKenji (talk • contribs) 02:15, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No trouble at all. I've watchlisted the page and will have a good look at the requested move rationale, consider what you come up with, and chip in with my thoughts.  Schwede 66  06:20, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Correct
there is a quirk with the ORES inside rater that still gets me caught out on a regular basis, thanks for that. JarrahTree 03:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I should try the rater myself. Then again, I've done thousands of manual assessments; it's actually good fun to read an article first. You often learn interesting stuff.  Schwede 66  03:13, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Didya see what I did?
Hey Schwede, I wanted to make sure you saw this: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Figure Skating. I didn't bother pinging you 'cause i figured you had it watchlisted. What d'ya think? ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 02:58, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Schwede. I saw there are a few churches in the list that need pages, so I think I'll have a go at those next, if that's OK with you.DrThneed (talk) 07:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Go for it, DrThneed. Before you start with St James Church, Franz Josef‎, have a read up on Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo first (the latter refers to the former).  Schwede 66  09:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Hokitika Clock Tower
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hokitika Clock Tower you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Zawed -- Zawed (talk) 06:42, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm LewisTehMinerz. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hokitika Clock Tower without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.   LewisTehMinerz💬✒️ 18:52, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * LewisTehMinerz, the article is going through a GA review and the edit was in line with what's been discussed there.  Schwede 66  19:01, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Schwede66, oh dear, I didn't mean to revert this! I'm still quite new to RedWarn (I normally don't use tools but I decided to learn one recently), so please excuse my mistake. I must've accidentally hit rollback whilst I was viewing your edit. LewisTehMinerz💬</b><b style=padding:2px>✒️</b></b> 19:08, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries. I was a bit surprised by this revert but thought it'll all come out in the wash eventually.  Schwede 66  19:10, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
