Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Theodore (name), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bohdan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there, I see you’ve moved Eliane Tillieux to Éliane Tillieux. When I created the page, I put it at “Eliane” because I couldn’t find a single reliable source that used “Éliane”. Have you turned some up? —Andreas Philopater (talk) 12:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the French Wikipedia spells her name with an “É”. I guess who better knows that than French speakers? And the diacritics in capital letters are often neglected.

Wikipedia (even when French) is not a reliable source. And this French-language source, for example, has no problem putting a diacritic on “Égalité” but doesn’t put one on “Eliane”. —Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you look up “Éliane” (or “Eliane”) in the French Wikipedia, 95% of the people with this name are spelled with an “É”. That’s how the name is spelled then. I guess it’s similar to the situation with the usage of the Russian letter “ё”. In the Russian Wikipedia names like Фёдор [Fyodor] or Артём [Artyom] are spelled with it – because it’s the correct way to write them – whereas in most other cases “ё” is simply written as “е”. —Extended Cut (talk) 14:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I thought perhaps you’d found a source to back up the move, but since you don’t actually seem to have done, I’ll be requesting a move back to the spelling used in reliable sources. —Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:10, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for the update on 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. I appreciate if you can fill in the edit summary so there is less back and forth due to unclear intentions. Thanks! —Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:33, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Not entirely sure what you were trying to do here, but if those are the seats won, then the appropriate parameter to use is simply “seats1”, “seats2” etc.

Unfortunately the infobox code is a complete mess… Cheers, Number 57 12:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yes, I noticed. Sorry, I just meant that current seats are the ones currently held by parties right before the election. But that’s probably not how this infobox works. Extended Cut (talk) 13:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are three seat parameters; last_election1 is for seats won at the last election (used to calculate the seat change); current_seats1 for seats held prior to electiosn, and seats1 for seats won in the election. Is what you added the seats won? Number 57 14:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I changed only the current_seats parameters to the number of seats held prior to election, because someone had changed them for the numbers of newly won seats. I guess I did edit them right… Extended Cut (talk) 14:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I saw you changed the number of seats in the infobox, but not the electoral system section. Are you able to update the section with the new seats arrangement? Cheers, Number 57 23:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your most recent edit leaves the electoral system section internally inconsistent, as it says there are 16 seats, but 7 two-seat constituencies and one single member constituency… Number 57 23:44, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had to revert your edit to the article Finnish markka. The spelling “Suomen markka” is correct. The name literally means “the markka of Finland” and not “the Finnish markka”. The name “Suomi“, literally meaning “Finland”, is always capitalised in Finnish. Now if the name would have been “suomalainen markka“, literally meaning “the Finnish markka”, then it would be correct to spell it with a lowercase letter.

Apologies for reverting your additions of these to a couple of Argentine election articles, but they didn’t match the results (possibly as the results tables have been updated with more accurate results). Cheers, Number 57 18:23, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
