Disambiguation link notification for May 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of southpaw stance boxers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cruiserweight (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.

]- Hi Dmol. I don't understand why my original Deirdre Jacob Wikipedia page was deleted as later on, a new one was created by someone else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deirdre_Jacob. Regards. Beestalman (talk) 09:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, RadicalRedRaccoon. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, SolydXK, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi AO. I'm happy that the SolydXK page has remained. Beestalman (talk) 09:23, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Double spaces after periods
Hello there! Regarding your edit on the Replicant (operating system) article, I'd like to point out that double spaces after periods are fine; that's just one of the writing styles and a matter of typographical convention. Please see Sentence spacing and History of sentence spacing articles for more details. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 01:56, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Dsimic. Double spaces look sloppy and serve no purpose. — talk | contribs) 11:00, 2 February 2014 (GMT)
- It's all a matter of personal preference; to me, single spaces look sloppy. :) — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 21:39, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- They both look the same on the rendered page; the only place one can see if it's a single or a double space is in the edit window. On that note, RRR, please stop making edits which consist solely of cosmetic changes invisible to readers. Such practice serves no useful purpose and is generally frowned upon. Invisible cosmetic changes to the page source should only be introduced together with an edit of some substance and even then they are only welcome when made to maintain consistent style within the article (not across the articles). You'll run into this sooner or later, so I'm letting you know sooner :) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 20, 2015; 12:17 (UTC)

- Hi Ezhiki. I realise that removing excess spaces or tidying code in other ways does not show on the regular page that people see. I am only trying to help. I would not say that the edits in question have no purpose - making the code less messy is a good thing. But I agree with you that they'd be better supplemented with more substantial edits. I will heed your advice. Bye. (talk | contribs) 10:47, 21 April 2015 (GMT + 1:00)
- It's also worth remembering that different people have different views about what's tidy and what's not. You are adding one space before and after "=", other people like to insert as many spaces as needed to make the values align, and others yet (like yours truly) prefer no spaces at all. It's not unlike formatting someone else's programming code—people might not appreciate your efforts to do the formatting to your liking, especially if that's the only thing you do on a page :) The rule of thumb is generally to leave this kind of formatting alone and only make changes when it creates difficulties in editing or is internally inconsistent. (By the way, extra spaces, especially in multiples, make it more difficult to edit on mobile platforms, since less text fits on the already small screen).

- That's a bug in your browser. Making the text look better on your buggy browser while making it look worse for the other millions of readers is not an improvement.

- The pages where I removed the "nbsp;" part, still look fine in other web browsers. My web browser isn't buggy - I previously changed the fonts and have since changed back to the default fonts. The "gap" is gone. Beestalman (talk) 11:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Deaths in 2022
Please keep your weak editing jokes to yourself. Not only is it Sue Baker who died and not Sue Barker (and well you know it), but you also removed a lot of other content during your single disastrous edit today. Ref (chew)(do) 14:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Refsworldlee. It was an honest mistake in mixing up Sue Baker and Sue Barker. The names are so similar, also the ages are close. I don't know how a large amount of content was also removed. I must have accidentally highlighted some extra text and hit a key. I assure you that no ill intent was meant. I also thanked the person (Renewal6) who undid the error, soon after I realised it. I don't think that "keep your weak editing jokes to yourself" gibe was needed. Regards. Beestalman (talk) 15:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
