I have not recovered the template previously used to indicate poor style. This should be applied to the very technical article on the "Genetics of Italy". In an attempt, I have shrunk two sub-paragraphs to half without revealing any of the facts. The top expert editor unfortunately writes in an unacceptably convoluted and almost unreadable style. But I can't manage a complete revision on this difficult material. Any idea?HJJHolm (talk) 08:17, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@HJJHolm: I don't think much of anyone actually reads this talk page. You'd be better off bringing this up probably at WT:GOCE or perhaps WT:BETTER, but probably the former would be more productive.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:01, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

we are required to give reasons for changes. Feel free to continue this work. And if you think my explanation is superfluous, this is even more true for Your comment. HJJHolm (talk) 12:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not sure what your pointless hostility is about, but you have been referred to the places where someone other than me is likely to actually notice what you are posting. And honestly, if this is about changes only to a single article (I looked, but there is no Genetics of Italy article, so I'm not sure what page you are even talking about) you might be better off confining your questions and comments to that specific article's talk page, unless you are raising some kind of broader concern that affects mutiple articles.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'd like to lessen the whitespace across all of the style tip subpages, both to make ((Styletips)) look a bit better and to help with making the new template ((Styletips short)) shorter. The former isn't too important, so for the latter would it be better to edit the style tips here or to make new style tips pages as subpages of the short template?
