Reverting my edit on Zendaya

edit

So I see you have reverted my edit on Zendaya. Why? The word I capitalised is capitalised in the film title, so why should it not be capitalised in the article? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 21:38, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

See MOS:CT for how titles are captitalized - "from" is one of the words that isn't per explicit example in that article as "Prepositions containing four letters or fewer". I am aware that the film article has decided to ignore the MOS after an RfC, but that exception applies only to that specific article and does not change the general rule for any other article.

Geraldo, I believe they may be referring to the film's poster, not the article. Either way, MOS:CT overrides that, as you mentioned. Having said that, at some point down the road, I may try to WP:BOLDLY move the article to the correct casing for "from." Amaury22:07, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Copyvio

edit

Could you explain how you figured that out [1]? I believe you wholeheartedly, I just want to know if there's any specific signs I should be on the lookout for. It's too bad it was a copyvio, I looked on Commons to see if we had a more recent photo than 2011. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Log in to your Commons account and look at image at C:File:Dan_Schneider_2021.png Under the "more" tab at the top is a link to Google Lens which allows image search. Might have to examine a bunch to find the actual sources but I found that one in a NYT article on Schneider. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I didn't realize that was an option under "more". It's always good to learn new things. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I also discovered that this has to be enabled through your preferences, but I'm still glad to find out it exists. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I forgot about that part. I enabled it a fair time ago and didn't remember I had to enable it in preferences. Good tool to have - I use it a lot. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dog with a Blog et al

edit

I may need more/closer eyes here and elsewhere. There's been an IP using different IP addresses "fixing" date ranges and adding the incorrect comma to this and other articles. I remember the date comma thing being a sockpuppet thing, I just don't remember who it is. Recently, a named user also tried to insert it on Dog with a Blog. Now, I cannot conclusively say it's the same person as the IP, but it's still adding the same incorrect thing. Will ping MPFitz1968 as well. I don't understand why people refuse to understand this. January 1, 2023,–January 1, 2024 would be incorrect, which means January 1, 2024, to January 1, 2024 is also incorrect. It's still a date range, just written out instead of en-dashed. January 1, 2023–January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024 are equivalent. Amaury08:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect. MOS:TENSE: ... between October 6, 1997, and May 20, 2002. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Tense has nothing do with dates. But the fact that you ended up here means you are clearly stalking my edits. I suggest you knock off the disruption. You need to discuss the actual matter at the article talk page, not here, and gain a WP:CONSENSUS before changing it, per WP:ONUS and WP:STATUSQUO, but that's all I will say in response to your ridiculous argument here, especially since you're stalking my edits, which disqualifies you, anyway. I will not be responding to you further here. Use the article talk page. Amaury09:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is MOS greentext, which means it is an explicit example of correct usage. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
So two MOS examples to satisfy ONUS. I haven't seen any stated policy granting some "range exception" for DATECOMMA. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

You’re an automatic crybaby who claims ownership of the iCarly article

edit

You have some nerve. That is also why Wikipedia gets the backlash it understandably deserves because of people like you. You never once took it to the talk page. You kept on reverting my edits to claim ownership of the article. If you can give me valid reasons as to why my edits should be reverted, fine. Otherwise, I have no problem doing whatever I’m doing. TheMasterofAllHitmans (talk) 17:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

See WP:BRD, basically onus is on you to start the discussion. I gave my reason in the edit summaries. I was also not the only person who reverted your edits. Your edits were not improvements, you made changes to the article that basically gave the same info using more words and added extra unnecessary details that didn't add to understanding. Also see WP:NPA. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
