Daniell cell: removal of WP:REFSPAM
Thanks for your edit summary explaining that if I remove WP:REFSPAM, I'm also supposed to remove statements which would otherwise remain unsourced. I'll go through my recent edits in this matter and see whether it happened elsewhere, too; I think it might have. I just wanted to let you know, on the off chance that you might want to check my recent edits yourself, that I'm perfectly okay with that. IpseCustos (talk) 10:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you should remove absolutely everything this editor has added, but that passage was clearly connected with the FRINGE claims that people at the COIN discussion were concerned with. If the material was already in the article before the cite was added, I would leave it in, even if unsourced, unless there is reason to think it is suspicious. SpinningSpark 10:43, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Draft:Ancient systems of elements
Hello, Spinningspark,
I thought I'd let you know that your draft has been deleted in case you were interested in continuing your work on it. I hope you are well! Liz Read! Talk! 00:25, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Liz. I'm happy to leave it dead for now. It was basically storage for inappropriate material moved out of another article. There may be more to add in the future, but I'm not inclined to find better homes for it in mainspace, especially the uncited stuff, and apparently neither were any of the other editors on the page involved. SpinningSpark 06:40, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- I understand, I'm just kind of stickler for informing page creators when their pages are deleted. You are different because as an admin, you can look at your Deleted Contributions but ordinary editors might not even realize their drafts or main space articles have been deleted if they don't receive a notice of some kind. FireflyBot will notify draft editors 5 months after the page has last been edited but, unfortunately, it will only post this notice once...if you get the bot notice, edit the draft and it goes another 5 or 6 months with no further activity, you won't get a second notice from FireflyBot. One and done. Liz Read! Talk! 05:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Among Us for POTUS (talk • contribs) 19:07, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Among Us for POTUS: What the hell are you talking about? Your revert of my contribution did not restore anyone elses comment, nor did I remove any in my edit. Please take your templated warning and stick it up your own talk page where it belongs for removing my contribution. SpinningSpark 19:24, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't read the diff correctly. You can put the contribution back and ignore this warning, but please be civil. Among Us for POTUS (talk) 19:27, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Among Us for POTUS: I said please. That's as civil as you are going to get over this. You are the one who removed another user's comment so it is quite appropriate to template yourself, where additionally it would not be contrary to this essay. SpinningSpark 19:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- I did not realize you're a regular editor and I did not act in bad faith, as that specific essay mentions. Also, essays are not policies. This does not deserve such a long argument. Among Us for POTUS (talk) 19:56, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- If you make a mistake like that you should restore it yourself. But you are clearly not watching pages you edit, otherwise you would have noticed that another editor has already reverted you. SpinningSpark 19:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- I was going to restore it once you replied to this. And, no, I do not follow every page I edit unless it's persistent vandalism. Nobody told me that I should. Among Us for POTUS (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

a quick question
hey buddy, its me again..
real quick, im just wondering how people have the topics on their talk page i guess you might say "hidden".. im on a mobile device and when i view certain users talk pages, i dont see any talk topics until i select "read as wiki page".. then they all appear in expanded format. here is a link as an example of what i mean: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doniago
thanks in advance, and sorry to bug you as always. Snarevox (talk) 17:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- In the case of Doniago's page, it appears to be due to some CSS code inserted at the top of the page. No idea whether that is an intentional effect or just a side-effect of the code doing something else. If Doniago is using desktop view they may not even have noticed. You'll have to ask the user concerned. SpinningSpark 08:16, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
