Hello!

I really appreciate the feedback you left on my draft. I am new to Wikipedia and am still learning how to use it, which is part of the reason I'm replying to your comment here, as I am not sure where else to reply.

I had a question by what you meant about the primary source, and would you consider the publisher's site a primary source? I changed the author's site to another site, but was just curious why a primary source wouldn't be as good as a nonprimary one. I have changed the Goodreads references so those are no longer a problem. I have also edited a few other things you mentioned, and working on the ones that aren't changed yet.

Also, one more thing, should I delete your comment from the top of the page, or should I leave it there? I am unsure about how what to do with the comment.

Again, thank you! All the help is greatly appreciated. --Shonaker19 (talk) 00:36, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! If I have anymore questions, I will let you know!

To Scrooge200,

You commented about the problems with the page Draft:Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:The Deep End. I am fixing the page and making it better, to be like the other Diary Of A Wimpy Kid pages. It will not have any copy and pasting and will have the same style as the other DOAWK pages. Check it out! It looks pretty different! :) Link for the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Diary_Of_A_Wimpy_Kid:The_Deep_End

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at

You're supposed to answer here, not on my talkpage and keep the conversation together. Pls read my comments again,, the first is about R from avoided redirects, why are you creating them? The second relates to redirects from songs which you are creating and I am tagging for the project. I didn't say you shouldn't I merely queried the value when the search engine will find the songs anyway. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:03, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For avoided double redirects, it's because we can't predict which identifier someone searching for the song will use; "

The Bidding (Tally Hall)"? I want to have both instances covered, because both are unambiguous and better than being taken to the search page. Scrooge200 (talk) 19:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

]

So you are going to flood WP with double redirects on the offchance a searcher is sent to the page he wasn't looking for? Fails to use the very efficient search function? All did you look at the double redirect I pointed out,

Ended With the Night (song) 1. "with" should not be capitalized and 2. You have named the correct redirect as Star Scat. How is that helping? --Richhoncho (talk) 19:28, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Is there a policy or guideline against these? Redirects are cheap, and as for

The Bidding (Tally Hall) have four views each and have only existed for a day, proving that there is a point in having both. Scrooge200 (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works is one guideline of many. New article are patrolled, so 4/5 hits on the first day is low. For the rest, please yourself, you will find out, sooner or later, you are not contributing to WP.--Richhoncho (talk) 13:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let's keep to the matter in hand, song titles, because yes there are times when redirects of different spellings or topic names are a benefit. However, go to the search engine and type "The Bidding" and you will see the main redirect, you will also see the unnecessary clutter you have created because you have already seen you redirect you created. You also need to be aware of [[WikiProject_Songs#Naming

Casual readers won't know what the naming hierarchy is. They might be searching just a song title because they want to know which band made it, or which album it's from; it's similar to how some snippets of iconic lyrics are redirects to help people find songs, like "

The Whole World and You" as a redirect. I am willing to come to a compromise on this. Scrooge200 (talk) 20:17, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

]

If casual readers don't understand, then editors driving a coach and horses through WP guidelines is not going to help them, for instance you are paying no attention to Wikipedia:Article titles and Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs, which we are both presently ignoring at the moment.Let's keep to the matter in hand, song titles, because yes there are times when redirects of different spellings or topic names are a benefit. However, go to the search engine and type "The Bidding" and you will see the main redirect, you will also see the unnecessary clutter you have created because you have already seen the redirects you created. You also need to be aware the WP search engine is good enough to find The Bidding without any redirect - even for casual readers, but as I said, if you want to continue to waste your time, be my guest, just don't waste mine!
