AutoEd config
(from User talk:Citation bot) How is your AutoEd configured that it managed to alter a |pages= parameter to |📃= in Special:Diff/1246281475? Please take a look so future errors may be avoided. Thanks! Folly Mox (talk) 11:42, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- AutoEd did not make the change, I did. – S. Rich (talk) 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- In that same diff, you or a script broke properly spaced author initials by removing the spaces. Please correct your script or other editing method. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Jstor
Hi, rather than just removing vague "via JSTOR"s it would be more helpful to add a proper link to the JSTOR papers, Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 14:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. It would be nice to find the JSTOR link. But that is not on my agenda. Rather, there are 6,000 "via JSTOR"s listed on my search. If the cite is using a {{JSTOR= 123455 template, then we see JSTOR with a blue link. I'm seeking to remove the redundant blue link clutter. – S. Rich (talk) 16:53, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- A change to your "agenda" would vastly increase the actual utility of your many edits. In most cases the correct JSTOR link should be super-easy to find. The "clutter" is pretty harmless, frankly. Johnbod (talk) 15:05, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Happy whatever you celebrate today, - more who died, more to come, and they made the world richer. Greetings from Madrid where I took the pic of assorted Cucurbita in 2016. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
