I prefer to keep conversations together in one place:
  • I would rather discuss the content of an article on the article Talk page.
  • If I have posted on your talk page, I will be watching it for your reply.
  • Otherwise, I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, so you may want to Watch this page until I respond, or let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Hi there. Just a heads up that Gbook is now deprecated in favor of Google books. I'd hate to muck around in your userspace, so I'm just letting you know if you want to change your User:Kanguole/Proto-Min accordingly, which has a transclusion. TeleComNasSprVen (talk • contribs) 19:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll take care of it. Kanguole 19:47, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

How to use sfnp?

Hi Kanguole -- I was impressed by the sfnp you used in the Qing article -- it's much more elegant and effective. So I found the Help:Shortened footnotes article.

But I wonder if you have any way to deploy this style other than to type it in or to copy & insert the template with the anchor citation. I use ClipMate, so this would be simple. I also use EndNote, where I could make an output style. But maybe you have worked this out and I don't need to re-invent the wheel. Cheers ch (talk) 17:08, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Glad you like it. It's much easier than trying to work out which page entries you're re-using and putting names on the ref tags. And it has the added benefit that you can specify precise page numbers within book chapters or journal articles.
Do you mean generating the {{citation}} entry? No, I haven't any shortcuts for doing that, and just do them by hand. Then again I have a few sources I use a lot, and I paste them from article to article. Kanguole 18:20, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Even doing sfnp by hand is easier than the way I've been doing it. ch (talk) 05:01, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

thanks

for helping clean up my mess. I haven't been able to get to all of it. — kwami (talk) 11:23, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I waited 3 weeks, but unfortunately it was clear that you were in no hurry to fix it. There are still some left if you wish to fix them. Kanguole 12:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
I have a more general list from before you posted this one, which still has 460 articles in it. I got part-way through, but have too much else going on to do the rest right now. — kwami (talk) 20:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
The list I posted was of your AWB edits changing < or > to arrows, and thus focussed on your errors (though not all of them contained errors, and some included other changes besides the errors). When you break something, you should give high priority to fixing it. Kanguole 01:17, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

In your revert you said it was clearer before. What was clearer before? Speling12345 (talk) 4:50, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I mean that "Speakers may clarify which written character they mean ..." is more precise than "Speakers may clarify the written character they mean ...". Kanguole 09:54, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
