MOS:FOREIGNITALIC in geta (footwear)

Hey, Ineffablebookkeeper, I see you formatted geta with {{lang}} last year (at some point someone redid the ja-Latn with {{transl}}). However, I was able to find an entry for geta in Merriam-Webster Online. I believe, then, that it has failed the rule of thumb for applying MOS:FOREIGNITALIC and should be treated as an English loanword. I removed {{transl}} from around it and zori for the same reason. I thought I should let you know since you did the MOS:LANG formatting originally. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 18:21, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for letting me know! I watch a number of other pages that likely have those terms on them - I'll be sure to remove the transl tags when I next run into them. -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much! That'd be extremely helpful and kind. I did the same in zori's article too. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 04:22, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

MOSPOSS

Please don't make changes to the possessive form as you did here: This is contrary to MOS:POSS. Also please see Help:Edit summary. GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:04, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Ah - terribly sorry. I didn't know that MOS existed. -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 17:56, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Edit comments

Hi, if as at De materia medica you're making small formatting changes, i.e. even if you're not making substantial edits, please either mark these as minor (if within the rules for that) or give a brief edit comment (e.g. "tagging languages") as is good practice (and indeed policy), to save other editors from having to check for vandalism. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap: - my apologies; I'll be sure to add a brief comment in future, though editing on mobile I'm unable to mark my edits as minor. I appreciate the horror of checking through a watchlist and thinking "oh God, what now"(!) - so I'll change my behaviour going forwards. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 11:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks! Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Hello, I'm Skyerise. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sacramental bread, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 17:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

As you point out, I was mistaken in reading your edit as an addition. The real problem was that the sentence you were editing was off-topic in the etymology section, so I removed it. Feel free to integrate into a more appropriate place in the article. Skyerise (talk) 19:36, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
