Would you please stop reversing the order of U.S. Thoroughbred horse races. ASAP I will put together the info on this subject and post it toWikipedia talk:WikiProject Horse racing for review so that we can present it to the Wikipedia "rules committee."

Hello RJFJR. Thanks for your work formatting bare urls. I have a request - when you've run refill like you didhere and it has fixed all of the bare urls please remember to remove the{{Bare URLs}} template. It will help keep other editors from coming to the article and running the tool only to find that everything has already been fixed. Of course, it is proper to leave it if it hasn't fixed all of the refs. I know that refill2 sometimes removes the template but other times it doesn't so that can be confusing. Its not a big deal but at the moment I'm cleaning up the backlog of articles that was created while refill was not working and checking on the ones you've already fixed slows things down. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thanks again and enjoy your weekend.MarnetteD|Talk18:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the entry for the artist Alison Dunhill, I've just seen that you moved a ref out of a subheading on 17th October (sorry, I put it back before I saw it was your deliberate revision). I guess this is a standard practice, but as the ref in this case is the authority for the whole list (of the artists' major solo exhibitions) in this section, I thought it looked ugly and also confusing for the ref to sit on its own separate line beneath the list. Personally I think it works better for the reader in the subheading where it now is, but perhaps you disagree. Maybe it isn't necessary to reference the list anyway, in which case we could just delete the ref which is to the artist's own website? I'd much appreciate your views.— Precedingunsigned comment added byBozhyemoi (talk •contribs)17:56, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BoringHistoryGuy (talk)15:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry betweenEdward Redfield andElmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream fromNew Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of theCarnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition,Across the River was awarded theGold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of theDelaware River,from his own front yard! |

Hi,
Regarding theINSEEC Business School article, may you please let me know what do you define as "guff"? You added a banner about "puffery and guff", so I assume that you do.
Incidentally, I am quite shocked about the use of "guff". It is insulting regarding French culture. Have you read Montaigne, René Descartes and analyzed their influence on the Grande Ecole system to be able to say that?
This leads to the question: How should I edit this section to get rid of this banner then? Should I therefore describe this Business School as: barren, purely pragmatic and with no history or humanist values? And thus, when you do some anthropological, sociological and philosophical research about a Business School precepts, therefore, it's guff and puffery.
The content which you may qualify as "puffery and guff" is certainly the section about thehonestus clerus,which doesn't infringe any copyrights, and is verifiable. Correct?
To me it seems like there is room for interpretation. Shall there be a section inWikipedia's codex defining "guff", I will be happy to be enlightened.
I will be equally happy to know what are the criteria to get rid of "guff".
Thank you.— Precedingunsigned comment added byOnna Bugeisha 2020 (talk •contribs)08:39, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I see that you made 3 recommendations to improve the article.
In regards to the History Section. I can break up the history into 4 parts: 1 Early history in Bohemia, 2 Northern Moravia 1390-1520, 3 Southern Moravia 1435 -1755, 4 History after the year 1755.
In regards to Reference. The two books listed cover over 98 % of what is listed in the article. The 2nd book itself has 245 pages of the family's history from 1300 to 2008. I added additional references which in turn expand what was listed. Some of these could be linked to the article but I do not know how. I may need you help ?
In regard the Genealogies: not sure what the concern is ? The links provide information on hundreds of relatives. Many are listed in multi other family genealogies.
If one is willing to search there are thousands of pages on the history of the family. Almost all are in Czech or German. Some are incomplete of incorrect. What is listed is the accurate history.Thanks for your interest in improving the article. Your help is appreciated.--Vlasime (talk)03:04, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RFJR
Why are you doing edits such as these[2],[3]?
I get that you were trying to fill in bare links, but the website to which those links pointed (http://www.leighrayment.com/) has lapsed and has now been taken over by some cybersquatters who appear to be advertising online gambling. I would have thought that even if you knew nothing about the topic,it would be very obvious that a casino is not a valid ref for a parliamentary by-election.
I know that Refill can be a handy tool, butWikipedia:ReFill#Health_warning is very clear that you need to check its results:ReFill is not perfect, and never will be. You are responsible for every edit that ReFill 2 suggests so you must take the time to inspect every citation that this tool creates and fix anything that isn't quite right. Do not make work for other editors to clean up.
In this case, it seems that you did no inspections. Please can you now self-revert all these edits, so that others do not have to clean up after you?

Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working onbetter tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you canread more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you cansubscribe tothe weekly technical newsletter.
We havetwo suggested ways this identity could work.We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You canlet us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hallo, you removed the full recipe: was that because it was copyvio, or should the infobox link lead to somewhere to which it has been copied? TBH I didn't notice that the full recipe has been there before when I added a paragraph summarising it. I'm not familiar with the way recipes are dealt with in Wikimedia.

I have a conflict of interest, so I'm not going to be editing the article directly. Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated! ~~~~Lbischel (talk)19:38, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HelloRJFJR, I hope you're doing well. I was asked to cite the cast section and that's what was missing in my article creation. So I would like to know the best way to cite the cast list? Suppose if there were multiple references used to source the cast section, can it be done the way you did inAsura. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your consideration.C1K98V(💬✒️📂)02:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.Inthis edit yes, you've upgraded those refs from being bare URLs, but do you really think they are useful refs in that form? They are all newspaper articles, and a useful ref would actually give the newspaper title, article title and date (and probably a "translated title" for those of us who don't read Norwegian). Please take care to provide a reference which actually helps the reader know what the source is. Thanks.PamD08:56, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, RJFJR. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.
Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.
How do temporary accounts work?
