Citations

Hi there. The issue with the one citation, which is the citation which puts it over the notability barrier, is that there is no information on the citation so that someone looking at the WP article knows where that information is. Onel5969 22:53, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

@Onel5969: A paywall is not a reason to put cleanup tags, and that you personally can't view it doesn't mean the source is inadequate. The source of impact factors is Journal Citation Reports. Go to your local university library if you need access to this. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:16, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with paywall. The fact is that if I went to library, with nothing more than the information in the citation, the citation is worthless. Onel5969 11:11, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Then you really need to learn to use a library because there is zero university library in the world that doesn't know what Journal Citation Reports is. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Unused templates

Hey, are you still working on Template:Vitality/colour and the Template:L1-Vitality family templates or are these abandoned? Gonnym (talk) 13:35, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I haven't touched those in years. Might want to ask at the Template:Metabanner talk page if they're a potential use for them. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. You were the only possible user of them, as I'm sure that if they needed such templates, they would have used or created ones by now. Gonnym (talk) 14:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:L1-Vitality and friends

Morricone

Re Morricone: "Françoise Hardy – Mon amie la rose site in the reader's poll conducted by the newspaper la Repubblica to celebrate Mina's 70th anniversary in 2010, 30,000 voters picked the track as the best song ever recorded by Mina." which you reverted to is not a grammatically correct sentence. The sentence should begin with the word "In" "Françoise Hardy – Mon amie la rose site" is part of the previous reference, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venndiagram8 (talk • contribs) 22:09, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't care what you do with the sentence, just don't break the reference. Specifically

"|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''Françoise Hardy – Mon amie la rose'' site in the reader's poll conducted by the newspaper'' ]''"

Should not become

"|url-status=dead ''Françoise Hardy – Mon amie la rose'' site in the reader's poll conducted by the newspaper'' ]''"}}</ref>

iPad editing

Thanks, I couldn’t get all that to happen from an iPad …. Was trying to add an inline commentary, iPad won’t do it, and couldn’t find inline for primary source. I am writing up a long explanation for all of the problems with those edits, but will have to move to a real computer to finish. He also provides the example you asked for yesterday! More when I get on real computer, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:50, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

"He also provides the example you asked for yesterday" not sure what you mean by that. I've also removed the medcn tags and the primary sources inline tag, because I do not see how the existing refs (Cochrane + NIHR) fails sourcing requirements. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

That’s elsewhere … I’ll get to it on real computer … the current schizophrenia is still messed up (but was before they edited as well), but I’m making it worse while trying to ipad edit … will respond at WT:MED when I can do full and correct write-up when not iPad editing…. Thanks for fixing mess I left. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

PS, not sure if you are aware (see the top of my talk page), but I have to limit my time sitting at computer since the tree fell on me. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:00, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. Without knowing the exact details of your situation, if sitting causes you issues, you might want to consider a standing desk (here's a random YouTube video by a guy that's been using them for a year). Not sure if you knew those existed, but they might help! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I know of those, and other options … so far, I’m out of luck. But yesterday was worse because I was also editing from a hotspot from the car with hubby driving … I will catch up in a bit when I get on real computer. I try to do as much as I can from iPad and then briefly move to computer for more difficult edits, and am (unfortunately) finding that responding to that good faith editor on WT:MED will take a long post that should not be filled with my usual iPad errors. Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:14, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

OK, I made a (still unresolved) mess at the article, since ... well, see WT:MED ... is it a journal, or a website, or what? I can't find a journal article, so we need an access-date, which document doesn't allow ... unsure how to fix, leaving it to you, but I don't think we have properly cited the text, but schizophrenia should go to FAR anyway, so I may stop worrying about keeping it up to snuff.

Edits

Don't talk down to me you condescending fool, don't accuse me of edit warring when I haven't and dont accuse me of indiscriminate editing.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 12:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
