Hi Pbritti. Just wondering why you created User:Pbritti/Userboxes/Coll Will Mary when {{user WM}} already existed? 67.176.1.108 (talk) 20:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

@67.176.1.108: I was unaware of the existence of {{user WM}} (I'm fairly new to this whole thing), and decided to give it a whirl. Thanks for letting me know. If you think it prudent, I will delete User:Pbritti/Userboxes/Coll Will Mary and revert to the previously established userbox. Pbritti (talk) 15:12, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I think for this duplication, it makes sense to delete User:Pbritti/Userboxes/Coll Will Mary. If you want to do it speedily, you can add the tag {{userreq}} to the top, since you created it. Thank you! 67.176.1.108 (talk) 03:59, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

@67.176.1.108: Done! Pbritti (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm really pleased to see the work you've done on the Colorado Coalfield War. My own small involvement in documenting that era in southern Colorado was just to create the article for Delagua, Colorado some time ago, including links to the various conflicts and disasters there. Best wishes! Kestenbaum (talk) 02:49, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

@Kestenbaum: Thank you! I'm sure I've run into more of your work elsewhere, but I greatly appreciate anything you have done to further the collective knowledge available on an area that is near-and-dear to me. If you ever see something worthy of concern, never hesitate to ask or rectify, as I'm absolutely new to all this. My newest addition is the Patrick J. Hamrock page on the National Guard Major who was in charge at the time of the Massacre, and I'm still trying to iron out the kinks on that article before linking it on other pages. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:03, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Pbritti; Super is a word, and natural is a word. However, supernatural is one word. I see that you quoted someone else, for that, so I'll leave it. It just looks really wrong. Have a good day. GunnisonMarmot (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey, GunnisonMarmot! Normally, I would totally agree. However, for the sake of accuracy and considering its citation in news outlets including the improper verbiage, I wanted to maintain it as two separate words. Perhaps I’ll add a “[‘’sic’’]” to denote the incorrect phrasing. Also, you’ve done a magnificent job on the pandemic page for Colorado and greatly appreciate the encyclopedic coverage you’ve provided thus far! ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Note: the bracketed message was originally left on my user page by GunnisonMarmot and I just wanted to move it here for the sake of keeping track—[On COVID Colorado you asked about past or present. If it is yet to happen or happening on the day of the story, I believe the present should be used. If it has happened on the day of the story, or in the past; past is fine. My two cents. Current event, so it is happening.]

Concerning Colorado COVID-19 edits and additions. Some of the information hasn't happened yet since this is an ongoing story, therefore, I believe sometimes past, sometimes present, and sometimes even future, to read as the day they are added or the article they are pointing to. Does this help answer your question? And, what do you think?GunnisonMarmot (talk) 05:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

I totally agree with your assessment then. You’ve done a great job keeping the page up to date and really have appreciated seeing this page be one of the better-managed covering the pandemic. I think I’ll just follow your lead and copy-edit on occasion. Please feel free to revert if you feel like my edits change the spirit of what you’re aiming for, as I feel the page is heading in a really good direction and handling the subject matter appropriately. Thanks again! ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

You're kind, and your edits are well thought out, and often wonderful. I hope you keep adding new news. You find things and see things that I don't. I did find this, about using the historical present. That supports that point of view. And, a few other things that support writing all timelines in the past. The conversation on this page supports both points of view, depending on the editor. past or present for timelines. It doesn't look like they have settled on a way to do it all the time yet, either. ;) So, I think it depends on the editor, and as long as it isn't terrible, we can leave it. Fixing things to sound better is why wiki works, please keep doing so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_present I'm very new at this, as well. I've certainly made my mistakes, and surely will have more mistakes in the future.GunnisonMarmot (talk) 08:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Ah, glad I'm not the only fairly new guy here. Admittedly, grammar has never been my strong-suit. If you have any questions about my editing, feel free to stop by here and add to this conversation! Best ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
