Sophronius S. Landt
My apologies for my editing of the Sophronius S. Landt article; the Wisconsin Blue Book 1895, pg. 673, biographical sketch of Sophronius Landt mentioned he lived in the village of Friendship, Wisconsin in Adams County, Wisconsin. I should had been more clearer with the editing and I apologized and take full responsibility. I have rewrote the sentence and acknowledged your good faith edit. Again my apologies. Thank you-RFD (talk) 22:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem. You know Wisconsin better than I do, but I'd learned just enough from fixing some other articles with the same clarification need that you helped with right before, so I figured you'd gotten the wires crossed with the name and the county on that edit. Thank you for knowing/finding a source that specified which the correct one was. Best wishes! Zinnober9 (talk) 06:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, about your accusation of a block evasion
To my knowledge, I never evaded a block. I created an account from my IP address that another user who had harassed me for more than a year now had an issue with, to open up a more consistent channel of discussion. I had made my edits, and many of them have been left up for months at a time, with collaborative edits by a number of other users, on the fashion section of 2010s in culture, as well as in Fashion design and Street Style. Other edits of mine were categorizations and mere typo corrections. Many of the edits I've made that you've reverted were literally corrections of grammatical errors. Which makes no sense.

That page has information that has been there for months now, and it’s kept to the standards of other editors who have edited those pages. Do you have another reason for reverting all of my edits? Binksternet even deleted content other users added, that included some of my content, to attack me. He swore at me on my talk page, accused me of racism, deleted other people's content, and held my content to standards not matched by the rest of the page. If you disagree with anything I've added or altered, please use the talk page first. Thank you. Velvetlaptop (talk) 01:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Above user is a now confirmed sockpuppet and should be ignored in all matters except if needed for further socking evidence. Zinnober9 (talk) 04:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Zinnober9! I am NEW to editing and am trying to minimally update the Citylink wiki page so it's factual. I will only update facts and not remove controversial things (even tho it's tempting lol) CitylinkIdahoKC (talk) 19:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Frostbite revert
RE: this revert I'll try and be a bit more descriptive in my antivandalism edit summaries, sorry CiphriusKane (talk) 01:46, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I was a bit too quick on the button. Your edit came up in red on the recent changes page and was tagged vandalism, so I thought it was, but after I clicked revert, I realized your edit was reverting the previous editor's vandalism and yours was valid. A clear edit summary is very helpful, so that would be great, but I messed up on this one. Thank you for your antivandalism editing! Zinnober9 (talk) 02:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Revert of talk page warnings
Hi Zinnober9! I saw that you made this edit to KillTimeEO's user talk page. Although I agree that the edit is very... "trollsy" (and strange, as you put it), users, by policy, are allowed to remove warnings from their own user talk pages. The things that they can't remove would be declined unblock requests regarding a block that's currently active, and some other things. Yeah, don't worry if you didn't know about this policy. I found out about it the exact same way that you're probably finding out about it now... someone had to message me and tell me. :-) Anyways, I thought I'd let you know. Cheers!  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I was aware of that, but I was thinking that the use of their fowl language superseded that, and I mighta gotten a little trigger happy after I saw they'd refactored the first editor's comment earlier this evening. I appreciate your message however, as not all know about that, as is clear from some of the other editors this evening editing that page. I hope my last edit statement on their page helps calm things in that manner. Zinnober9 (talk) 03:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries, it happens to the best of us. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:27, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Sad that people like the one that edited Ed Gein COD to Covid 19 do not take Wikipedia as serious as those of us who care. Good catch. Thank you. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 15:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Need assistance
My talk page is being continually reverted back and "vandalized" by 47.241.192.40. Please assist me to get rid of this user. Mr. Pekka Stranker (talk) 06:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've already reported that IP for vandalism. Nothing I can do further, and I'm sorry they're harassing you. Just ignore them for the time being, and after they've been blocked, you can return your talk page to how you'd like it. Zinnober9 (talk) 06:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Gallery size parameter
I'm a bit confused this edit; I think the "heights" parameter is plural; Help:Gallery tag lists it as "heights", and the singular "height" has no effect. Am I misunderstanding something? HLHJ (talk) 02:34, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Huh. I've never seen that page before, and it would explain why I keep finding so many pages with it when Template:Gallery never mentions it as an option. It's always appeared to me to be broken syntax when plural on pages, since the images are quite large and unruly, or aren't following the size set, but if it is actual syntax and used for a purpose, then I'm at fault and need to learn about that. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll mull it over and test some things. If you were to ask about it in a help or talk page setting in the next day or two, would you ping me? Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Zinnober9 (talk) 03:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. There is a difference between the template galleries starting " {{Gallery " and the tagged galleries in " " tags; it's a bit confusing, but they are completely separate. I prefer tag galleries as they require a lot less typing-in of formatting characters. I only wish I could justify tag galleries and flow text around them, as Template:Multiple image is worse (perhaps I should ask about that, and if I do I'll tag you, but I suspect it's technically problematic). I was using a large height so that the reader could see the captioned details in each image without clicking on each to enlarge it, but perhaps they were a bit big. I'll use a more moderate size.

ubl in The Sound of the Mountain
Hi, I've already commented on your question on the Template_talk:Unbulleted_list talk page. Could you use "unbulleted list" instead of "ubl" and see if the error persists? No use when I do this, because I don't get the mentioned error. --Robert Kerber (talk) 18:37, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply
I will reply to talk page and wait for a consensus. Thank you for your help thus far. OsagePizza72 (talk) 15:21, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Zinnober9, I've noticed that you have been tagging some user subpages marked with Userspace draft for deletion using db-afc. Please note that WP:G13 only applies to userspace if it is tagged with AFC submission or contains article wizard placeholder text only. WP:ABANDON suggests how to handle the type of drafts you have been tagging. Thank you. ✗ plicit  00:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Your disaster of an edit
I hope you have realized by now how how damaging and wrong this edit back in June was! Yes, it does make a difference. I have spent some minutes reverting half of it - please finish the job. Johnbod (talk) 16:31, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This was explained far more nicely in the "Gallery size parameter" section above, and since that other explanation, I have not resumed any corrections of such. Because you called me an idiot in your edit summaries on Sculpture, no, I will not "finish the job" to restore it to your visual preference. Zinnober9 (talk) 17:30, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

F.Y.i that’s just my brothers account so I don’t control it or have anything to do with it but I can talk to him for you if you want AngeredTrash710 (talk) 22:40, 2 May 2022 (UTC)


 * It would be wise for you and he to ignore each other on Wikipedia and not edit the same articles together, upload the same images, or mess about with each other's userpages. Otherwise it will give the impression of sockpuppeting/coordinated edits, which are against the site rules, and you and he might be blocked for such if that continues. Cheers, and happy editing.

Unfortunately
Please remove the defamation information regarding any ‘sexual accusations’ from The Posies page. This information is to be taken down LittleMermaid23 (talk) 04:56, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, I will not remove sourced content you object to. I've replied on your talk page, but I'll repeat my main comments here too:


 * The current writeup about the allegations and the fallout (band members leaving) is well sourced and has been addressed by the Band and Stringfellow directly. And will remain on the articles regardless of outcome from these accusations. Stringfellow addressed the claims on his Twitter here where he doesn't agree with the claims, but that he does claim fault at "creating conditions where people could be upset and emotionally hurt". Regardless of if the allegations are true or not, the chain of events of the accusations and the band splitting up are noteworthy and worth keeping. Additionally, Wikipedia is not censored WP:NOTCENSORED "and may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍".


 * and


 * No, I have not and will not be removing the content you object to. Additionally, how is being married to Dominique and not living in France relevant to your argument? You can be married and have sexual accusations launched against you. Additionally, if we say the band dissolved in 2021, you'd need to give a reason why, and that reason is the allegations against Stringfellow. You can't just bypass the major source of the dissolution. As for the not living in France part, that is in the subsection "Comeback and Every Kind of Light (2001–09)" on the Band's page, so I'd bet he was living in France during those years. I will agree to edit the tense of the statement, but I will NOT remove it. Zinnober9 (talk) 05:56, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I don't object to the content, but the source already on the article doesn't give that level of detail, and you haven't provided a reliable source stating such that others can independently verify. That lack of sourcing is what I object to. Zinnober9 (talk) 16:34, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive Editor
This user has been warned on multiple occasions and even blocked and yet he still continues to disrupt this website. He’s vandalized pages, adding his own information (many times made up by himself) and refused to cite. He has also made personal attacks against editors. Including on my own page. User:Nickiandyeoutsold has continued to show a lack of care and I’m asking for further action to be taken. He’s been warned before and even blocked, yet nothing changes. I’m asking for a permanent block on this disruptive user. His talk page is full of warnings and even a discussion with me, in which he responded with a variety of insults. He would later copy and paste this response and put it on my talk page too. This user needs to be taken care of. Zvig47 (talk) 17:21, 21 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I have NO authority to block (the only special power I have is pending changes reviewer which only is for articles), so you'll want to take this to WP:AIV where you can report them for all that, and those that have the power to assist you, will. I don't recall ever encountering that user since April (when I gave them an edit warring warning), and I've made hundreds of edits since then, so I know nothing about them now or any of current issues you are having. May I ask how you came to think I had administrative powers? You aren't the first to think this recently, and while I'm flattered, I'm also baffled by the confusion.

Suggestion
When fixing font tags with the "font size" tag, you DON'T just leave the number as is, otherwise you would change the font size. As always, try to preserve the appearance of the page. You can see the replacements here.

i.e. when fixing something like or , you change it to . Sheep  (talk) 20:25, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Sheep8144402 Ah, thank you! I saw one or two of those yesterday and realized that the +-X weren't working in span style, so was starting to avoid picking pages to fix where those occurred until I figured them out. I'll go and see if I need to make any corrections to yesterday's edits. Appreciate it! Zinnober9 (talk) 23:10, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Breaking category?
Categories should be assessed as NA, and certainly not Top. How does changing that "break" the "template"? Abductive (reasoning) 07:32, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Abductive Your edit appeared as though you did a replacement of all instances of the word "top" and changed them to NA, and in doing so, you broke the and changed regular words within sentences to NA.
 * Please use edit summaries, as I had no clear idea what you were going for. If you'd said something about updating the temp to NA assessment, that would have clued me in and I'd have just corrected the collateral damage, but there was no clear indication of intentions. Zinnober9 (talk) 07:42, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Template talk:Interlanguage link/Archive 1
I see that on November 18, 2022, you edited Template talk:Interlanguage link/Archive 1 and then reverted your edit with summary
 * Interlanguage link multi doesn't like being within " part, so the line break threw me off). Thank you for correcting it and letting me know.
 * While on the topic of rethinking of lint issues, I and Jonesey95 seem to be stumped by this other issue. Curious if you have any ideas for it. Template talk:Infobox officeholder/Archive 6 claims to have a fostered content issue. The and  portions are clean by themselves, and the infobox vcard is clean by itself, but when vcard has any of the Infobox portions below it, it throws a fostered content error for some reason. I mentioned it Dec 2 on the Lint talk page at the end of the Non-Replicatable section). If you've already seen this error and don't have any idea, that's fine. Just thought I'd run it by you since solved the above puzzlement and some others I've gotten stuck on. Cheers, Zinnober9 (talk) 09:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Cite errors
hello, hope you're well. I'm learning about citing, new templates, new technology, every day. I'm hoping you can help me learn more

one of the issues-template entries of a page I edited was unclear citation style. I remember from college using MLA, and I find it odd that it's not exactly easy to use that style on wikipedia

in example to start, in-text parenthetical citations are deprecated on wp. and I'm all for that, browsing with a mouse, however, I think it might not be good for paper-printed reading. the "r-style" colon-location superscript, personally, I don't like, simply because of font-size being lowered. plus, it is harder to "bundle" citations, which is something I just found out is a thing. anyway, the shortened footnote template also has difficulty with bundling

the harvard citation templates default to using author and date, which is different to MLA, which can use author, or author and title. I learned about the trick of setting an anchor with the author and title, and leaving harvard citation templates' year parameter empty to workaround this. great

now, the full citations themselves. the templates like cite web, I learned are citation style 1, which uses periods between citation elements, different to MLA 9, which uses some periods, but luckily, commas primarily now. citation style 2 (template:citation) uses commas, but I think only commas. luckily, there's the wikicite template to create anchor-ed citations. and further luck, I found the space separated entries template, to keep data on multiple lines, to keep it readable while editing. however, I saw that you found an issue with how I used these

I don't understand what is the issue, though. I don't mean to contradict; I hope I've shown just now how I am wanting to learn about this all. would you describe the issue you've encountered? and, do you have a thought on what is causing it? is it wikicite? or the combination of wikicite and space separated entries template? or was it not those, but rather, something else I did?

thank you for any help you can give. I hope you have a nice day

sincerely, 104.33.102.225 (talk) 06:46, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I remembered that I forgot about this part of wikicite:
 * do you think this might be causing the issue? article named do have spaces turned to underscores by harvid template
 * 104.33.102.225 (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * nevermind about this. I believe that the issue is whitespace within the wikicite template, specifically the reference parameter (which can be, and was, unnamed). here's what I mean:
 * I think that by adding a pipe, the error can be fixed:
 * and to be more clear:
 * I found out about lint just accidentally, clicking on Page information, on the left of the article, and going down to bottom of page. There's the link "Lint errors on page." That's gives some clarity to the edit description you posted.
 * Let me know what you think about this.
 * 104.33.102.225 (talk) 10:17, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * IP editor, please read WP:CITEVAR. It is generally not acceptable to change the established citation format of an article without prior discussion. Converting templated citations to what are essentially plain-text citations also removes citation metadata and eliminates automated error-checking of those citations. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:14, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * as I alluded to above, before I started editing the page, there was an unclear citation style issues-header. I have been the primary editor for the page, and I've been learning. why I or one would choose to go with a certain citation style might be an interesting discussion I'd want to read, but what I had decided was MLA, and technology knowledge was preventing that implementation, causing evolution within the page
 * I honestly prefer to follow set styles to choosing my own (existential dread, decision fatigue), though I do give a vote for MLA, simply from mentioned bias of inertia from school. https://xkcd.com/927/ "it is used in school" is just as valid as "it is used in wikipedia," I do understand. and I do also acknowledge the benefits of automated error-checking, and less so, metadata (I don't understand how it's accessed and used, again technology). to me ideal would be an option in cite web template for |style=mla, or |style=apa, etc; and even more ideal, if a page could set it at top, and then the template can use it (less redundant, and more sure way of getting it). I think I've seen this happen with dates, where I've used yyyy-mm-dd and in british style it became d mmm yyyy, I believe
 * anyway, it's just been fun to learn, and I think this is the only way things will stick in a head like mine, is through experiences. hope it sticks
 * 104.33.102.225 (talk) 22:08, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * IP editor, thank you for contacting me. I must confess that the Wikicite template is not something I am well versed in how to use, so while I could identify the errors from its usage last night, I could not address your questions above or provide a solution. This morning, the more I looked at the template, the more I was confused to how and why it's used, so thank you @Jonesey95 for your assistance on this matter. Happy holidays to you both.
