Case of piped link

I agree, there was no reason for me to change the case of that piped link. My bad. But why did you change it, before and after me? Dicklyon (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I saw you change the capital letters to lowercase but that wasn't needed for the first one, so I restored that one. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

My first edit was needed to fix the punctuation and to fix the linkage so it wouldn't appear on the report Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations. The fact that I went a little further than necessary in lowercasing didn't create any problem, so why did you jump in to fix it? My second edit was because I didn't look carefully at what you did; I should have just left it, for which I'm sorry. But then you again jumped in to fix what wasn't in any way broken. Dicklyon (talk) 21:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

To be clear, I agree that the case there doesn't matter. So I'm wondering why you're changing it while criticizing me for changing it. Just seems like an odd thing to do. Dicklyon (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand why you think it is a problem to fix the formatting. I know my changes had no impact on how the link works, that's not why I did it. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:52, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

No, it's not a problem, just wondering why you did it. Your reverts suggested that you thought I had left it in a non-ideal state. What do you mean now by "fix the formatting"? Dicklyon (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

There is no need for the first letter of the link to be lowercase when it is piped, so I fixed it. Nothing more complicated than that. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

There is equally no need for it to be uppercase, so no fix was needed. No big deal. Dicklyon (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

DYK for The Star-Spangled Man

On 7 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Star-Spangled Man, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the production team of the TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier created a highway more than five miles (8 km) long to capture visual effects for a truck action sequence for the episode "The Star-Spangled Man"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Star-Spangled Man. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Star-Spangled Man), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Incorrect formatting changes in what way? All I did was remove a word. SummeRStorM79 (talk) 03:18, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

That's not all your edit changed: diff - adamstom97 (talk) 09:56, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

My apologies. I only meant to remove that word (which is moot, meow). I didn't realize there'd be a cascade effect. I'll try to be more careful in the future. SummeRStorM79 (talk) 14:56, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

We need WP:NPOV in notices on WikiProject Middle-earth

Adamstom.97, you wrote "...recently given unnecessary disambiguation..." in your notice. That presupposes what the discussion is about, i.e. it is taking sides, the one thing that is absolutely not ok in notices. I'd be very grateful if you could remove the word "unnecessary" to preserve strict neutrality. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:05, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

I was just letting people know that the discussion was happening and giving some basic context. Adding disambiguation to an article title when there are no other articles of the same name is commonly described as "unnecessary disambiguation", that is all I meant by that. It is equivalent to saying "redundant disambiguation". Even if I was trying to sway opinions with my wording, I don't believe there is any requirement for talk page notices to have any specific wording. WP:NPOV applies to articles, not talk pages. - adamstom97 (talk) 20:25, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for discussing. However you should never use adjectives, especially those that have a strong pejorative meaning like redundant or unnecessary, in any notice. Notices must be strictly and unequivocally neutral in everybody's eyes, which that one certainly was not. Any editor taking upon themselves to issue a notice is responsible for ensuring they are seen not to be trying to influence or canvass in any way, however subtle. I do hope this is clear as it is enforced by policy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:43, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Burden

Hey Adamstom.97! I've been seeing your additions to X-Men '97, overall great work. So I'm also somewhat surprised, with your contributions and experience here, that you reverted again the unsourced claim about Karliak also voicing the Hulk. WP:BURDEN means that anyone that it is up to the person who restores previously unsourced information to add a source. A "citation needed" isn't suitable a placeholder. I'm confident you'll find a source quickly, and I won't remove the bit again to make a point, but like you said so yourself (#Deadpool & Wolverine): all information needs to be supported by a reliable source. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 04:02, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The information is currently sourced to the onscreen credits, which does not need an explicit in-line citation because the details that would be in that ref are already provided in the infobox and episode table. This is the same reason that we do not require explicit in-line citations for plot summaries. I have tagged the information with "citation needed" because it is good practice, in my experience, to find third-party sources to support information like cast and cameo details. I'm not trying to add information without a source after telling other people not to do the same lol! - adamstom97 (talk) 09:08, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
