Reversion of Soldier Creek article

I noticed you reverted my edit that added coordinates to add them in a differing format. Am I unaware of something new? Is there a new policy on this or a benefit to the style you use? I'd be grateful to learn something new here... Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 01:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Reversion of Volcano House article

Uh... I think I did something embarrassing. I intended to add the coordinates of Volcano House. I did not see them on the page because I suddenly recalled Huell Howser lived there. I looked them up and ogled the house, thinking about how nice he was and missing him, (we very briefly worked on the same project once) then I think I *removed your coordinates*. I am SO SORRY. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 01:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

@Oona Wikiwalker: OK. I couldn't see any reason for you to delete the coordinates with the comment "Removed unnecessary tag". As for the coordinates in Soldier Creek (Los Angeles County, California) refered to in your message above, you replaced the {{coord}} template I had added with one lacking the |type= and |region= parameters, which seemed to me to be a disimprovement. When coordinates are already present in an article, there's usually no reason to replace them unless they turn out to be inaccurate or otherwise deficient. Deor (talk) 14:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
In the first instance I commented "Removed unnecessary tag" because I saw the {{coord}} tag and conflated it with the {{{coord missing}} tag. I did not see your edit in either page and I didn't look for them because I picked the pages up from the backlog. This is the first time in a year of getting articles that way that I came across this situation. Pages with coordinates added to them usually leave the backlog within a few minutes. Have a nice day.

WP: Not a Forum

You want to take a look at it and see if it violates the Forum rule? This happens on the best selling artist page too quite frequently, very tiresome and likely the same groups of people

Talk:Elvis Presley#Intro paragraph

Talk:List of best-selling music artists#This list is very incorrect / No one sold more records worldwide than Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby , The Beatles , Frank Sinatra, Julio Iglesias or ABBA

Never17 (talk) 09:46, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

@Never17: I don't see any problem with the Elvis thread, since it's about the wording in the article, not about Mr. Presley himself. The best-selling post is probably misguided or biased, but everyone seems to be ignoring it, so I'd be inclined to just let it be. Deor (talk) 14:39, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

thanks for help with RD date headers

I noticed you'd added some by hand, and that alerted me to the fact that the bot has stopped working.
(Unfortunately it's not yet obvious what went wrong with the bot.) —scs (talk) 11:32, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I was going to alert you to the problem after I had fully awoken. (My morning coffe hasn't completely kicked in yet.) Deor (talk) 11:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
I se. (By the way, it's the 18th now. :-) ) —scs (talk) 12:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
