How can you be so productive? Extremely highly gifted with an ever-active brain? (Serious, interested question, no punch whatsoever intended). Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 13:44, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Joshua Jonathan: Well, I'm probably editing Wikipedia to avoid doing something else. Or maybe I have OCD. Or maybe it's those citation tools I finally installed that make it obvious that half the sources in an article aren't cited. Or maybe a combination of all three. Also, I tend to "fill in blanks" by adapting material already present in other articles, so maybe productive in terms of lots of little edits, but less so in terms of actually writing content. Or maybe its Dzogchen. Skyerise (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Dzogchen? I'll keep it on a combination of whatever what. For me, it's keeping myself busy, and an excuse to study. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 00:26, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I feel the same way. A very productive Wikipedian that I highly respect. NV (talk) 18:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Use of expansion tags
I am happy to expand Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition, but I dislike the use of expansion tags, preferring expansion requests on the talk page instead. Expansion tags tend to do nothing and sit in the article for years, while requests on the talk page have a tendency to attract more interested editors who are willing to make changes. I realize our opinions about how to use tags and the talk page might differ. Viriditas (talk) 20:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: yes, I get that. However, I mostly place tags for myself. Typically, within a month or so I will replace the tag with a little more material. If someone else also does some expansion, that's ok too. Skyerise (talk) 10:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
On REFVAR discussions
This discussion grew a bit, maybe you'll find it interesting: Talk:Jill_Ovens#WP:CITESTYLE. Hopefully, you won't have to use Rfcl. I found it strange that an admin told me twice to self-revert, IMO I was no-brainer-right. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: - yeah, it shouldn't end up with such long discussions. Even though I prefer {{sfnp}}, if I come across an article which consistently use ref tags, I conform to that, even though I don't like it so much. Or {{sfn}} if that's the predominant. Really can't stand the {{r}} method though, or page numbers tacked on with {{rp}}. Skyerise (talk) 10:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Publications section causing errors
Thank you for your edit, and more particularly your edit summary, at Aleister Crowley. It enabled me to fix articles mentioned at Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2024_May_23#Harv_errors. DuncanHill (talk) 20:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DuncanHill:: you're welcome. Some change recently made should be reversed, since currently "Publications" is the preferred heading for an author's works. Skyerise (talk) 20:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Is it Trappis the monk's harv errors script you use? I'll drop them a line. DuncanHill (talk) 21:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DuncanHill: yes. Skyerise (talk) 21:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
