Suggestions been made to block C___G___ accounts!

Hi. I'm an admin here and there has been a request to block ColorfulGalaxy and other accounts that are of the form C___G___ like yours, because you all seem to interact and maybe use each others accounts or being one guy with multiple accounts. Specifically the dead links on ColorfulGalaxys page (that has at the moment been removed, hence link to old version) was an offence point. Seems you have ben trying to use this wiki for a project called neology, which does not belong here. Please stop what ever you are doing, and remove any thing related to this or I will be forced to ban all of these accounts. If you stop and begin editing only relevant stuff I will not ban you!

The neography project has already been moved. It's been moved several times in fact. ConscriptGlossary (talk) 12:07, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Li Jiayi

You added a trivia section in 461: Google Maps about Li Jiayi. I’ve never heard of this person, could you please drop a link to wherever you found this so that I can add the Chinese characters? I have Chinese keyboards on my device. 42.book.addict (talk) 17:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Usage of {{incomplete}}

You've been inserting {{incomplete|...}} in the rough manner of {{Citation needed}}, probably assuming it gives a [incomplete] style span-tag. But it inserts an infobox that's paragraph-breaking (if used within one). As you'd see if you Previewed what you did. I'd do an example, but then it'd permanently label your Talk page as 'incomplete', unless I cobbled together a fake version.

If you want to add (new) incomplete-tag info, put it in the traditional place of just below the "==Explanation==" header. Or just make the edits needed to reflect the update of info that you are trying to identify.

I'm going to address these issues for you, but wanted to make sure that you weren't going to continue. Perhaps you could instead tag such things with {{Actual citation needed}}. You can add an 'explanation parameter', as with the incompleteness one. Though it won't show up in the tag itself, it would benefit future editors to know exactly what issue you were raising. 172.69.43.136 13:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Further note: There's no reason to replace {{Citation needed}} with {{cn}} (though, yes, do move the tag the right side of the adjacent punctuation). The 'true template' is "Citation needed" and "cn" (and "citation needed" and "Citation Needed" and "fact" and several others) tend to be aliased/redirected to that. If anything, take the time to replace "...something{{cn}}. Something else..." with "...something.{{Citation needed}} Something else...", while you're adjusting the punctuation, but it doesn't actually help to rename it reverse. It looks the same (insofar as the tag) when viewing the page normally, but doesn't significantly help (and, for the unfamiliar, may more hinder) the understanding of the markup edit. Not worth a special (re)edit, but I'll frequently take the opportunity to use the "one true" template name if I pass something like a "cn" (maybe or maybe not a "fact") when adjusting a other element of a page. 172.70.86.21 15:34, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
