Thanks for helping him but he is very young, information about him had to be suppressed. I think there is a CIR problem also. Doug Weller talk 21:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:December 2023 Libya migrant boat disaster

Hey Toddy, I have gone through the draft and added a few bits of new information, and I think it is ready to be moved to mainspace.Can you also provide me with more pages to rescue? Harvici (talk) 17:50, 27 February 2024 (UT

@Doug Weller: Far too soon. I think it would be better to encourage him/her to get three decent articles under his/her belt before they are unblocked - i.e. ones that would be B class if they had illustrations. I am not fussed about illustrations - if we demand illustrations, it pushes him/her into breaching copyright to get them, which is not a good idea. So far, he has done a "start" article.

His/her problems came about from being in too much of a hurry. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddy1 Glad to hear you say that. I agree entirely. Doug Weller talk 13:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Toddy , I have put an edit request on the talk page of Shakespeare plays. Would you review it, tell me whether it is suitable for the article, and do the needful to include it in the article? Thanks. Harvici (talk) 06:48, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to check the wikilinks

• In some places you use ''[[Measure for Measure]]'' and in others [[The Two Gentlemen of Verona|''The Two Gentlemen of Verona'']]. It would be better if the table were consistent. ''[[Measure for Measure]]'' is probably the better format.
• [[Athens, Ohio|Athens]] is the wrong wikilink - note how misleading the piping is - see WP:TRANSPARENCY. The link should be [[Athens]].
• Your table contains an excessive number of identical links. There are also a lot of unnecessary links creating a sea of blue. Please read MOS:OVERLINK. Just because something can be linked, does not mean that it should be linked.

If you are going to have a table instead of a list in three columns, why not make it sortable? When I want to look up how to format a sortable table I look at an article that has them, like de Havilland Sea Vixen. If you look at the sortable table in Demographics of Uttar Pradesh you can see that the final row is non-sortable. Sometimes sortable tables are a good idea, and sometimes not.

You have explained what you want done. But where it should go in the article? You have not explained why you think it should be done. Try to think through what advantages your table has, and what advantages the current list in three columns has.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddy1 Useful comments. I was asked but as I'm no expert I suggested that waiting for someone who is involved in the subject responded. @Harvici I think you should think about your suggestion there and see if you want to amend it according to Toddy1's suggestions. Doug Weller talk 11:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I will amend it according to the suggestions. I used a visual editor to link the articles, so by mistake I linked Athens, Ohio, instead of Ancient Athens. I will remove unnecessary links Harvici (talk) 11:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lesson then is that visual editor sometimes gets the links wrong, so you need to check them.

I have never used visual editor - I learned to edit Wikipedia before it was invented. I see no reason to change. Once you have learnt it, the old way is easy and intuitive.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
