| 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)

- Never mind, looks like someone's stopped you. YorkshireLad ✿ 10:53, 13 July 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). Bye. --151.52.254.197 (talk) 17:56, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- One of the many disadvantages of editing as an IP I'm afraid. -Roxy the elfin dog . wooF 18:00, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- IPs from Aosta, Milan and Catania were mentioned in that page. Yours is likely to be the one from Catania, which is next door to Messina. It happens to me as well from time to time, that my IP is associated with the province of Naples when I'm in Caserta, or with the province of Bergamo when I'm in Lecco. For example, with a quick lil whois check, your IP appears to be assigned to the province of Ragusa currently. ×°˜`°×ηαη¢у×°˜`°× 18:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, sometimes it is even associated to cities belonging to the Calabria region, but Milan or Aosta are way too far! Indeed, next time don't jump to conclusions. A lot of Italian IPs and casual contributors check Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Italy. Bye. --151.52.254.197 (talk) 18:19, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Sigh This was precisely why I made no such comment initally. It's neither here nor there, but my very first edit on here was in 2005 as an IP editor. I don't know precisely which edit, because at the time my family had AOL internet, and they swapped IP addresses between users with gay abandon. I then had an account which I abandoned in 2007, not making any edits even from IPs for many years; when I wanted to return, I'd long since forgotten the password and hated the username, so I just started afresh. Of course, you have no evidence of this—I could be a talking dog for all you know.
- Anyway, if you are indeed a different person from the others, I do apologise. However, it remains true that it is unusual for three unconnected IP accounts to be casting !votes in an AfD discussion, even an Italy-themed one; I just checked a few random times in the recent history of the relevant delsort page, and none of the other discussions had a single IP comment, let alone three.
- I'll also point out that following me to my talk page simply to express your irritation with me, and not to make any actual request of me, is bordering on wikihounding (as you should know if you've been here for ten years), and I'd request that you stop. If you believe that the consensus was assessed incorrectly because of the assumption that the three IP votes were the same person, there is a formal venue for that, though I can't guarantee you'll get very far.
