Barisal
Hi i noticed that you undid my revision in barisal page i would like to say barisal does not have its own dialect — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.17.126 (talk) 18:09, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, I reverted you but it wasn't because you deleted the the Barisali dialect bullet point but rather it was that plus a totally malformed floating (unattached) reference:
</ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Barisal|archive-url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Bangladesh|url-status=alive|archive-date=2014-11-13|title=Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics Region Census 2011 page 30|publisher=Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics|access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref>

(help)</ref>

- In that reference
https://www.britannica.com/place/Bangladesh
is not an archive snapshot ofhttps://www.britannica.com/place/Barisal
;alive
is not a value supported by|url-status=
; because|archive-url=
does not hold the url of a legitimate archive snapshot,|archive-date=2014-11-13
is completely bogus; the title of the Britanica article is "Barisal", not "Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics Region Census 2011 page 30";Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics
is not the publisher of Britannica; References are properly wrapped with<ref>...</ref>
tags not</ref>...</ref>
tags. - Together, these changes without an edit summary to explain them, look a lot like vandalism.
- Some of the above you have fixed:
<ref name="Barishal District - barisal.gov.bd">{{cite web|url=http://www.barisal.gov.bd/en|archive-url=http://www.barisal.gov.bd/en|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-11-13|title= Barishal District|publisher=Bangladesh National Portal |access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref>

- The reference is still 'unattached';
|archive-url=

– a url cannot be an archive snapshot of itself; http://www.barisal.gov.bd/en is live so|url-status=dead

is still bogus. I looked at the source: with the exception of a language selector drop-down box in the upper right corner, there is no mention of languages (Bengali or English) or dialects (any) nor any statement about who speaks whatever languages are used in Barisal or Barishal. I presume that you want to use this source to support the three (not four) remaining bullet points in Barisal § Languages. If that is the case, you might want to find a better source because this source appears to be inadequate. - —Trappist the monk (talk) 19:12, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Parameter misuse vs missing-title errors
In Special:Diff/1093331531 on Neil Gaiman you removed the titles from several twitter-linked references as "parameter misuse". However, that caused citation errors: "{{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)". Perhaps you could come up with replacement titles instead of just breaking the citations? —David Eppstein (talk) 23:25, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Those two cites were added 12 March 2022 at this edit. As written in that original edit,
that caused citation errors:
External link in|title=
; (which see). - Clearly no one (including you) cared enough about the article to fix those errors (they are visible to all) but, interestingly, the three other cs1|2 errors present in the article at the time of the 12 March 2022 edit have been fixed; perhaps changing the error message will provoke someone to fix these missing title errors – I'm not going to hold my breath for that to happen, but you never know.
