[edit]I noticed your editing at Woolly mammoth and Columbian mammoth (and to a lesser extent at Ocelot). I'd like to ask that you try to consolidate these kinds of tiny edits into bigger ones so that the article history does not get clogged. In less than two hours, you made 208 seperate edits to the Woolly Mammoth article, each with minimal to no change and a byte count in the single digits. The same is true for the Columbian Mammoth article, only with 89 edits in roughly half an hour. As I mentioned above, this makes looking through article revision histories very tedious, and you'd be doing everyone a service by consolidating edits like these into one or two big ones. Thanks in advance. The Morrison Man (talk) 18:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @The Morrison Man: The thing is that I don't usually make "big edits". I like sticking to smaller, speedier and more convenient ways of editing. Usually, I forget that people use page histories for monitoring because I hardly use them. I'll try to tone it down a bit, but I can't promise those "one or two big edits" just like Shawn Michaels can't promise a return to the squared circle since he's well into his late 50s.

- I don't need you to promise one or two, just that you do not use 208 edits to make arbitrary changes to 64 templates on a page. Thanks The Morrison Man (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- You've just done it again. 181 edits on 57 templates on the common ostrich page in the span of 141 minutes. That's 1.28 edits per minute, and I can count the ones in the double digits on two fingers. Come on man The Morrison Man (talk) 20:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @The Morrison Man: I'm not sure if you are genuinely interested in my editing history or if you have this page on your watchlist. In any case, the problem is that I occasionally run out of ideas for adjustments, so I just stick to the kinds of edits I usually perform in such situations. My judgment can be clouded at times because I'm not always in the best of moods. I'll try my hardest to limit the number of edits I make to animal articles. I apologize for any inconvenience.

- Consider doing this instead: create a version of the article on your own userspace and tinker around with as many edits as you like. Then after you're satisfied with a large enough chunk, put those into the article and update your userspace article with the main one as needed. TangoFett (talk) 13:05, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Your NPP review of Justin Janssen
[edit]Hey there, Wolverine XI. As part of the September 2024 NPP Backlog drive re-review process, I wanted to let you know that I have nominated an article you patrolled, Justin Janssen, for deletion. The reason for this is that I was unable to find enough coverage from third-party sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. No action is needed on your part, but feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on the rest of the drive. JTtheOG (talk) 20:57, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Please make sure your edit summaries are accurate
[edit]Hi, Wolverine XI. I notice sometimes you make edits like this, and then you write in your edit summary that you performed a copy-edit. Copy-editing has a very specific meaning. Adding, substantially rewriting, or removing material is not copy-editing. I'm not sure if you're clicking the wrong edit summary by mistake, or if you don't know what copy-editing is, but please keep this in mind for the future. Thank you.

Fishing cat GA review
[edit]Hi, Wolverine. I've just about completed the GA review. Even though the article is not enormously different from your first submission, I think it addresses the issues that made it a quickfail when grungaloo reviewed it back in March (I've patched up a few things I thought were still possibly lacking). I therefore thing it's broad enough in its coverage to meet criterion 3(a), although I assume some aspects would need to be elaborated on to reach FA levels of coverage. I didn't see anything obviously wrong with neutrality, stabillity, or image usage except for alt text which has since been fixed, all of the sources seem reliable and used correctly, and I found one instance of close paraphrasing that has since been fixed. Grammar, spelling, layout, and MoS adherence seemed fine, and I fixed a few small issues that I found that honestly wouldn't have prevented a GA pass anyway.
I couldn't find any OR in the lead, taxonomy, distribution, or conservation sections, although I did raise yellow flags for the characteristics, behaviour, and threats sections. For each one of these, I only found one ostensible issue, so if you can clear these up for me (and provided grungaloo has no major objections to this), then I can pass the article.

- I will be away for 12 hours, so I can't address those issues at the moment. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 05:15, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- No problem! I'll mark the review as on hold presently, and I'll also re-look at those sources to see if I can't resolve the issue myself. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 05:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Wolverine XI: Bit of an update: I'm going to postpone the final part of the review just until the Internet Archive is back online, as that's just going to streamline things a bunch. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
