== Just for the record... ==

I just noted your accusations in ] about me (with IP 151.74.138.45) being the same person as other IPs. For the record I edit on en.wiki for over 10 years, well before you joined the project. I don't care nor I have a particular interest about that subject. If you read my "weak keep" reasoning it is completely different from the other IPs, both in style and arguments. And the sole reference to WP:GARDEN should have made it clear I have nothing to do with COIs. And yes, I live in Messina, Sicily and would have no idea how to make my IP looking like I'm in Aosta (the exact opposite side of Italy, I'm closer with Africa).

Hello, welcome to my talk page! If you'd like to leave me a message, please put it at the bottom of the page, in a new section. You can do this easily by clicking the "Add topic" button at the top of the page. Thanks! YorkshireLad  ✿  

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thank you for correcting the syntax on my reports. I am not the most experienced in that regard but am learning and as such greatly appreciate the gesture. Xeed.rice (talk) 10:58, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
@Xeed.rice: You're very welcome! (If you're interested, because I forgot to explain: the reason why a problem on that page triggers problems on so many others is that a lot of pages "transclude" WP:AIV—that is, they essentially treat it as a template, and include its contents wholesale, automatically updating as people add reports to the page. That means that a duplicate template argument (which was the error being generated by that particular syntax) is detected by the software on all those other pages too.)

Thank you!

Hi YorkshireLad, thank you for the knowledge about how pings work. It makes sense that it'd be tied to a signature; let's see if I can get it this time: @YorkshireLad:! In the special case you mentioned of going back to make a correction and needing to re-add one's signature to allow the pings to work... does that mean you'd need to delete the first signature (i.e. type over it) when making a minor correction or would you simply sign separately for a second time?

Cheers, MitzvahCode (talk) 20:20, 28 May 2020 (UTC)MitzvahCode

MitzvahCode, Hi! So there are some more details on Template:Ping, but my understanding is that you'd need to add a completely new line in that case for it to work—that is, write something like
Ping didn't work; pinging {{u|MitzvahCode}} again properly. ~~~~
which renders as

Ping didn't work; pinging MitzvahCode again properly. YorkshireLad  ✿   12:34, 12 March 2045 (UTC)

This message seems to have been the right syntax to ping me, but I can't tell because any post on someone's user talk page notifies them, whether there's a link to a user name or not. (Incidentally, do you know about User:Enterprisey/reply-link? It's a script that adds a "reply" link on many pages; it (usually) automatically adds the ping to the person you're replying to and a signature, though you do need to check it's worked with the "Preview" button it gives you. It's what I used for this message, for instance.) YorkshireLad  ✿   12:48, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Just for the record...

I just noted your accusations in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mezzo Secolo Di Ritornelli about me (with IP 151.74.138.45) being the same person as other IPs. For the record I edit on en.wiki for over 10 years, well before you joined the project. I don't care nor I have a particular interest about that subject. If you read my "weak keep" reasoning it is completely different from the other IPs, both in style and arguments. And the sole reference to WP:GARDEN should have made it clear I have nothing to do with COIs. And yes, I live in Messina, Sicily and would have no idea how to make my IP looking like I'm in Aosta (the exact opposite side of Italy, I'm closer with Africa).
