Hi, Chris Capoccia. I saw this[1]. So when it's one author, "last1" and "first1" should also be used? Or is this done for uniformity? I thought when it's just one author, "last" and "first" are the default. GBFEE (talk) 19:20, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I was working on editing Suresh Canagarajah's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suresh_Canagarajah. And I've noticed that you removed all the content I uploaded. So, I was wondering if there's anything wrong with it and anything I need to do to prevent this.
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PSU-ASC (talk • contribs) 21:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
I added a citation, "Sex-Based Differences in Lung Physiology", where I want it to focus on the chapter.[2]. Will you show me the appropriate way to do that? I feel I didn't do everything right. GBFEE (talk) 21:10, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Dear Chris Capoccia. Thanks for your attention to the article Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty. You changed:
"*((Cite web|last=Coolahan |first=Marie-Louise |date=9 May 2019 |title=Dowdall [née Southwell], Elizabeth |website=[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]] |doi=10.1093/odnb/9780198614128.013.112775 |isbn=978-0-19-861412-8 |url=https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-112775 |access-date=14 March 2021 |url-access=subscription)) – Online edition"
->
"*((Cite ODNB |last=Coolahan |first=Marie-Louise |date=9 May 2019 |title=Dowdall [née Southwell], Elizabeth |doi=10.1093/odnb/9780198614128.013.112775 ))".
You are a much more experienced editor than I am, and you seem to specialise in correct referencing. I would like to learn from you and do my references right next time. You surely agree that we edit Wikipedia to improve it. I do not see the improvement here. Why should "Cite ODNB" be preferred over "Cite web"? I find it does not make sense to invent special templates for particular "important" sources, and even less sense to enforce the use of such templates. I feel we should limit ourselves to "Cite book", "Cite journal", "Cite news", "Cite web" (these are the ones supported by the Visual Editor). I was once a fan of "Citation", but abandoned it. In the present case I used "Cite web" specifically because I found this ODNB article on the website, not in the book. We have lost the link to the source as you have removed the URL parameter and clicking the DOI provokes an error "Not found". This DOI had been added by Citation Bot on 7 April 2021 and should be correct. The error results, seems it, from the access restriction, but this is not obvious to the wider reader. Besides, should there really be a space between the template name and the pipe of the first parameter? —and after the end of the last parameter's argument? Perhaps there should, but I have never done so and have seldom been corrected for this. With many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 10:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Chris Capoccia, I nominated Levantine Article for FAC. As you contributed to this article in the past, I thought you could be interested in reviewing it. Thanks for any help you can provide. A455bcd9 (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I have been working on the 'spiritual philosophy' Wikipedia page as part of my university assignment. For the task we have to publish 2000 words to a stub Wikipedia article. Thank you for your help in editing my assignment. I have noticed that you have deleted a substantial amount of the 'Spiritual philosophy in religion' 'Buddhism' and 'Hinduism' sub sections. I was just wondering if you could please advise me of what was wrong for my own learning purposes? Thank you! - Tobin 1312 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tobin1312 (talk • contribs) 06:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
On 25 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hickson Inc., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in the 1920s, Hickson Inc. had the "most elegant and expensive specialty shop" on New York's Fifth Avenue? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hickson Inc.. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hickson Inc.), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Just a note. I noticed a couple of edits where you removed ((EBSCOhost)) identifiers from citations - perhaps this was an error? It's no different from ((ProQuest)) or ((Project Muse)) in that it provides a closed-access link, usually to a PDF. (The PDF link is on the upper left of the ebsco page).

It doesn't matter much seeing as the article is most likely about to be deleted (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shauna Bloom) but just figured I'd let you know that your latest edits on that page appear to be in violation of MOS:STYLERET. I'm not undoing them because there's not much point, but just letting you know that rule exists in case you weren't aware. QuietHere (talk) 17:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
I was not sure if you checked that source you shortened/fixed. But it does not appear to mention Henry VI's son's death at Tewkesbury, Henry's death from melancholia, or Historie of the arrivall of Edward IV. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:47, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
You are removing the ISSN numbers for sources for which there is a DOI # or a JSTOR #. Please stop. Citations with a DOI # or a JSTOR # are often behind paywalls, & an ISSN can sometimes help some readers find the physical copy in a library. Peaceray (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi Chris Capoccia,
Thank you so much for the refining of sources in both the Alan Jackson (businessman) article and the Nylex Plastics article. Is it possible for you to do the very same editing on the Jim May (chemical engineer) article as well? I am having trouble doing that, when it comes to not duplicating the same source when it is needed in multiple places. Thanks again. Carey3146 (talk) 22:50, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Chris, I saw your improvements to the History of the Internet article, thank you. I'm working on the Protocol Wars article. It's already a good article and I'm working towards bringing it forward as a featured article candidate. Are there any similar citation improvements that are easy for you to make on that article?
