Canadian coinage

Did you even bother to look for where I got those mintage figures? I have real life things going on at the moment so maybe instead of deleting content you could help by sourcing it? What you did just makes more work for those trying to improve the articles. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:29, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not other editors' jobs to provide sources to material you add—it's your responsibility to source all your additions yourself. Otherwise, they are fair game for removal: please see WP:RS and WP:V. —Joeyconnick (talk) 07:00, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In memoriam italics or quotation marks

Hi there,

For the phrase "In memoriam", why is it in quotation marks rather than italicized like other non-English words on the English Wikipedia? I have a featured list candidacy for the 96th Academy Awards and Sgubaldo is asking why it is not italicized. Cam you post your response in the featured list candidate page that I have wikilinked?

Done. To summarize, it's fully Anglicized (appears in English-language dictionaries like esprit de corps) so not italicized per MOS:FOREIGNITALICS. As a segment of a larger TV program, it's a MOS:MINORWORK and so rendered with quotation marks. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it useful to remove information on number of episodes in a main role?

Hi there,

In the “Freddie Highmore” article, why is it important to remove the information stating the number of episodes he did of Close to the Enemy (7 episodes), Bates Motel (50 episodes), and The Good Doctor (126 episodes)?
The number of episodes for someone who performs in a main role is generally included in Wikipedia articles as worthwhile information.
The “James Arness” article shows how many episodes he did of Gunsmoke (635 episodes!).
The “Raymond Burr” article shows how many episodes he did of Perry Mason (271 episodes) and of Ironside (194 episodes).
As more recent examples, the “Vera Farmiga” and “Richard Schiff” articles show the numbers of episodes they did opposite Freddie Highmore (50 episodes for Vera Farmiga and 121 episodes for Richard Schiff, respectively).
What is the rationale for making the “Freddie Highmore” article an exception? Why is it useful to remove that information? UPU898 (talk) 11:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an exception... those other articles are not following the guidelines at MOS:TVCAST. Basically, we're a general readership encyclopedia, not IMDb or a film/tv wiki or encyclodepdia. We don't include all possible info on every little thing just because that info is sourceable. Stems from WP:NOTAGUIDE. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Old user

Curious if you recall, or are familiar, with an old user called User:UrbanNerd? Just curious as a current editor reminds me strongly of them. Canterbury Tail talk 12:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Canterbury Tail! I didn't start "hardcore" editing until around 2017, so can't say I'm familiar with UrbanNerd... looks like they were blocked in 2013? Took a brief list of articles they edited and not many of them are ones I've worked on. A few yeah but nothing much is ringing a bell. —Joeyconnick (talk) 21:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
