:::The convention used in the article is to include ISSN for all journals; exclude BibCode (unless ~~ISSN~~ is not available); omit hyphens from ISBNs; … among other things.

Hi Chris, I have been working on the Bioelectricity Wikipedia page with my colleagues and I really appreciate all the help that you have provided us in making the page more suitable for Wikipedia. We have put in citations in all the places that citations have been requested and also responded to the suggestion to merge with Biomagnetics (which we do not agree with and put our statement in the appropriate talk page a couple of weeks ago). I am wondering if you’d be willing to remove the two tags on the top of the page that indicate the need for the citations (which we have put in) and the suggestion for the merge (which we don’t agree with and no one else has added to the conversation)? I really appreciate your help with our efforts to make the field of Bioelectricity more available for the general public to learn about and to hopefully enrich and inspire lives through learning.

Best wishes and many thanks,

thanks for the link! sometimes you can figure out what article or chapter they should have cited and replace with a proper citation, but lots of times, it’s just hopeless and should be deleted — Chris Capoccia 💬 21:17, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for improving some cites in the Nile article. I’ll be working on that article for the next half year, trying to get it to GA and FA status. The cite fields are critical for FA, and I need them to be displayed within the markup as one line per template field like this:

{{cite EB1911  
|wstitle=Nile
|volume=19
|pages = 692–699 
|first1=William E.
|last1=Garstin  
|first2= Frank R.
|last2= Cana
|author1-link=William Garstin
}}

The bot you used collapsed some of the templates to a single line, making it very difficult for me to manually edit the individual fields. I anticipate having hundreds of sources, and making many hundreds of edits to them. Would you mind refraining from running the tools on that article until late 2026? After it gets FA (I hope) you can do all you want to the article. Thanks. Noleander (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
