Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Natural product, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Robinson (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.

Hello, I wonder why you are replacing standard citation style (last= | first= | last2= | first2=, etc.) with Vancouver style (vauthors=). Has there been any consensus on mass replace? Thanks, — kashmiri ^TALK 07:40, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi @
  Vancouver style author format. Since then, the use of a single |author= parameter to store more than one author has been deprecated and a new parameter |vauthors= has been introduced. Hence I updated the parameters in this edit
  . A consistent citation style had been established before your first edit to this article and your subsequent edits have introduced an inconsistent citation style.
• A rationale for the use of the vauthors parameter may be found
  here. In short, |vauthors= does everything that |first1=, |last1= does including producing clean metadata and providing full compatibility with |display-authors= and |author-link=. In addition, vauthors does one thing that |first1=, |last1= does not, and that is to provide error checking to ensure that the author names are consistently formatted. Vauthors does all of this without the unnecessary parameter overhead that |first1=, |last1= introduces. Boghog (talk) 08:35, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

• One last point. |vauthors= may be used in any
  WP:CS1 style template (cite journal, cite book, etc.) and currently is in use in over 39,000 articles. Hence the use of vauthors has effectively become a standard along side first1, last1 (for comparison, last1 is used in 326,000 articles). Boghog (talk) 09:01, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

I nominate Boghog to be Editor of the Week for his excellent work on science related articles. We need more people who are willing to help out in topics such as medicine and science, with the knowledge levels that will allow decent quality articles. It's something I know I can't do, so to see someone so prolific doing such good work is fantastic. This editor is a no-nonsense kind and knows/helps wikiproject Medicine so much.' He justly deserves this award.
