Hi - I saw your updates to MLB 2020 team pages; the term spring training should not be capitalized. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmoore5556: I copied that info from 2020 Tampa Bay Rays season, which was originally capitalized. Songwaters (talk) 22:50, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of source, it's not correct to capitalize the term. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmoore5556: All fixed. Songwaters (talk) 23:14, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. Thank you. Dmoore5556 (talk) 23:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your gracious comments at the talk page for Ian Fleming. Your apology is warmly accepted, and is reciprocated if you thought I was comparing you to the American ex-president. I referred merely to the latter's unconventional attitude to facts. You are plainly sensitive to facts, as well as courteous to your fellow editors, and we can amicably agree to differ about whether an info-box would be helpful to the reader for this particular article. Permit me to add that I am strongly pro IBs where they can adequately summarise the article. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 19:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tim riley: I also accept your reciprocal apology. I've gone ahead and asked Jojhutton on his talk page to stop assuming bad faith and be civil (though I've clearly failed). Songwaters (talk) 19:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Splendid. I'm glad we are on friendly terms. Best, Tim riley talk 20:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for quality articles such as 2001 Major League Baseball contraction plan, for updating baseball seasons, films and List of George Floyd protests in the United States, for "The infobox is not unnecessary clutter that discourages people from editing or reading the article" and implementing consensus, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no.

@Gerda Arendt: Aw, thank you! It's all for the millions of readers who deserve to read the best Wikipedia possible. Songwaters (talk) 22:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You said that well ;) - I said somewhere today that what

we tried to reform in 2013 is happening right now, and you are part of it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

You should add an email to your Wikipedia account. I want to ask you something. ~ HAL333 15:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: Why do you want to ask through email? Either way, I've added an email. Songwaters (talk) 16:39, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That link only gives an example using the percent sign; it does not explicitly say that it should be used for RT reviews.

But instead of arguing about this further, perhaps we should open a discussion. Because I'm probably not going to be the only editor to make this change. Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
