You made an edit where you claim (Changed "45 kilograms" to "45-kilogram") but that is not what you did. You deleted code that changed "45 kilograms (100 lb)" to "45-kilogram". Do not make such edits because you deleted wiki codes which show American weights "45 kilograms (100 lb)". GalantFan (talk) 01:58, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems in describing a single "M47 white phosphorus bomb" as being "45 kilograms" that it is unnecessary to use wiki codes to write the weight.

Please explain the value of using the wiki code "convert|100|lb|kg|order=flip" in the sentence

"US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 45 kilograms (100 lb) M47 white phosphorus bomb on a Viet Cong position in South Vietnam in 1966"

rather than writing the same sentence WITHOUT WIKI CODES as

"US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 45-kilogram (100 lb) M47 white phosphorus bomb on a Viet Cong position in South Vietnam in 1966".

Thank you in advance for your explanation. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 21:22, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This American bomb is called a 100 pound bomb. It is not called a 45 kg bomb. Because most Americans do not know what a kilogram is. And when you edited, you removed the "(100 lb)" so that it stated only "45-kilogram". GalantFan (talk) 21:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply.

1. The sentence I saw on 12 October 2023 was "US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 45 kilograms (100 lb) M47 ..."

2. I changed it on 12 October 2023 to "US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 45-kilogram M47 ..."

3. It reads now on 15 October 2023 as "US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 100 pounds (45 kg) M47 ..."

4. I've now changed it a second time to "US Air Force Douglas A-1E Skyraider dropping a 100-pound (45 kg) M47 ..." and deleted the wiki code "convert|100|lb|kg"

5. Please let me know if this is acceptable. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 22:12, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The text is good but what is the reason why you are deleting wiki codes?

There are other wiki codes for length and weight "convert|". It is standard practice to put the weight with wiki code to automatically convert to metric and imperial systems. GalantFan (talk) 23:43, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why Wikipedia is not allowing me to reply to you with more than one sentence. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:07, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MY ACTUAL REPLY:

I'm pretty good at spelling and grammar, but I'm hardly a Grammar Nazi. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:09, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However, with Wikipedia being used as a primary knowledge source, spelling and grammar should be more accurate than a random person's musings on Facebook. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The original phrase drawn from the wiki code produced "dropping a 45 kilograms (100 lb) M47" Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The wiki code resulted in two errors: it produced the plural "kilograms" and it did not hyphenate "45-kilogram" Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If there was a wiki code that could produce a correct result, I would use it. But I don't know of any that could be applied here. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now I will throw the question back to you: if the wiki code produces two errors, what value do you see in using this wiki code rather than simply writing things out correctly, as I did? Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 01:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mink Mile, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 22:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please talk to me like I'm stupid.

If you saw "Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world," would you change it to "The Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world"?

If you did make this "Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world" to "The Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world" change, would you "include a citation" for it?

If you were to "include a citation," what would be the citation you would include? Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 23:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A citation that proves the name includes a definite article. And that still wouldn't justify "fixing" Wiki markup like file names. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 00:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, talk to me like I'm stupid.

If you saw "Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world," are you saying you WOULD NOT CHANGE IT TO "The Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world" simply because "The Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the world" is the normal way of saying this?

Is that seriously what you are saying when you write "A citation that proves the name includes a definite article. And that still wouldn't justify "fixing" Wiki markup like file names"?

Also, what exactly do you mean by "Wiki markup like file names"?

Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 13:42, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the article is "Mink Mile", not "The Mink Mile". Per

WP:SOURCING, it's your job to prove otherwise if that is the case. The Empire State Building has nothing to do with it. And if you're doing source editing, you should know what "markup" is already. It's the stuff inside brackets that doesn't need "correcting". - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 23:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE, Sumanuil? Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 05:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The difference is that no one is trying to "fix" images of the Empire State Building, or trying to use their personal experience as a source. I've told you that three times now, stop asking. I was only trying to revert those "fixes" anyway. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 06:16, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"images of the Empire State Building"?

.

I've never said anything about images, so nobody knows what you're talking about.

.

.

.

You accept "personal experience" for "The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper"

.

But you refuse to accept "personal experience" for "The Mink Mile is an upscale shopping district"

.

Thank you for making clear your hypocrisy.

. Miyojewolt S Nasonth (talk) 08:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting your clumsy "fixes" and then explaining that over and over hardly makes me a hypocrite. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 08:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My corrections were not at all clumsy, Sumanuil.

They were accurate.

Yes, you explained random things over and over.

But you never once answered the primary question I asked over and over and over again in various iterations:

Why EXACTLY does "The Empire State Building" NOT need a citation.

.

But YOU, for some unknown/unstated reason, say "The Mink Mile" needs a citation.

.

WHY?
