Disambiguation link notification for August 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stop the World – I Want to Get Off, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tea boy. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 20:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I decided on a better way of referring to the disambiguation page, considering its partial relevance here. Thank you. Cebran2003 (talk) 21:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Hello, I'm FlightTime. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eddie Van Halen, 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. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was inputting the reliable source, actually a repetition of one cited elsewhere in the article, just as you were removing my content. Please leave my edits alone. Cebran2003 (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then please use edit summaries, tell us what the hell you're doing. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Every single one of them has been minor, and supported by other Wikipedia articles or by existing references in this one. Again, please leave all my edits alone. Cebran2003 (talk) 20:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, don't you think it would be alot eaiser if you added the source with the change, why make a change and then, oh I'm getting to it. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did all my ref checking and other reading, and consequent writing, within a space of maybe 15 minutes. I am not being slow. Instead you are being bizarrely hasty. Please undo all the reverts that you have done to my work on the article. Those paragraphs will still make perfect sense and will be better documented than before, I promise you.

Hey @Cebran2003 There seems to have been some confusion over your recent edits, it's always helpful to include an edit summary to avoid this. I've restored the article as best I could for you. OXYLYPSE (talk) 20:45, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OXYLYPSE, thank you very much. I think that you restored every one of them, apart from one that I redid a few minutes ago: reusing the relevant reference for what are now three appearances in that single paragraph. Or at least I think that I have inputted this reuse for a second time. Anyway, all good now, so thanks again. Cebran2003 (talk) 21:01, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Also, thanks for the thanks for my edits, which I enjoyed doing even as I worked kind of hard on making them; your seeing the merits in them is noted and much appreciated.) Cebran2003 (talk) 21:22, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Thank you for your contributions! :) OXYLYPSE (talk) 21:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On that note, we may as well end this cycle. Best wishes. Cebran2003 (talk) 21:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shout-out as well to @SQGibbon, whose alert about overlinking brought on my 20-20 hindsight about how it is indeed best avoided! Cebran2003 (talk) 14:06, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have just noticed, at the top of the "Revision history" page, mention of the external tool "Fix dead links"; having for the moment simply removed a pair of these, I would appreciate some guidance on how I might get started in identifying viable updates using this tool. Seeing what I saw after again logging in to try to kick off the process for this tool, I could tell that some human guidance is going to need to come first. Thanks in advance.

@OXYLYPSE, three days later, I have the privilege of thanking you once again, this time for a closely related but distinct contribution on your part! As a consequence of your candor in expressing uncertainty about whether you had successfully restored all ten of my initial edits on the fantastic EVH article, I have just used tech built in to the Wikipedia platform but until this evening scarcely familiar to me (namely, the great flexibility of the "Compare versions" feature) to confirm at last my gut feeling that afterward I inputted my citation reuse for a second time and that edit number ten had consisted of this reuse and nothing more. The hugest thanks this time, saved for last! Cebran2003 (talk) 23:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to acknowledge and express fresh thanks (have the others gone stale?) for @OXYLYPSE's remark that they first noticed (and wound up reporting to the admin noticeboard) certain conduct regarding the Eddie Van Halen article in the very context of my having just been the target of that conduct. (Shout-out as well now to @TheWikiToby for alerting me about that report.) Cebran2003 (talk) 23:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
