Lang or language[edit]
Hi. I noticed in this edit, that you replaced {{Lang|he by {{Hebrew (which redirects to , and in the same edit added {{Lang|ar. So why did you replace the Hebrew language template by the Hebrew script template? Please also notice that the hebrew template redirects to Template:Script/Hebrew, which documentation says clearly "This template only marks a string as Hebrew script, not as Hebrew language. Therefore, it is not appropriate for actual words in Hebrew. Hebrew words are marked instead like this: {{lang|he|‹Hebrew language string›}}." Debresser (talk) 18:05, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- I have observed the other articles and got what you said is correct. I could not fully understand the difference between them. Now I'm taking action to fix the mistake I made. Thank you. BennTheResearcher (talk) 18:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
November 2020[edit]
Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that in this edit to Special relativity, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 16:05, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry dear DVdm My aim was to just copy the reference. I accidentally cut it and hit enter. i was distracted, sorry again. Thanks for your fine behavior :) BennTheResearcher (talk) 16:15, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Machine translations[edit]
Hi. From what I can tell the article Holzauge was written by Google Translate. Machine translations are sadly not yet sufficiently good to base an article on, one really has to rewrite what they output almost from scratch. Could you maybe have a look at Holzauge and try to re-translate it? – Thjarkur (talk) 16:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Thjarkur,
That's true; I used machine translation, because I don't know German L., Im sorry. I will make changes on the article. BennTheResearcher (talk) 16:39, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Kristal[edit]
I think leaving a country at the age of 47 and having Polish (or Yiddish) as a first language is appropriate enough not to describe someone as "Polish-born". There is no source that the citizenship was ever renounced; according to the years in the article Kristal was a citizen of both the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939) and of the Polish People's Republic (1947-1989) until he migrated to Israel in 1950.

This page[edit]
I edited this page to fix lint errors, including the high-priority self-closed tags, the medium-priority Special:LintErrors/misnested-tag misnested tags and the low-priority Special:LintErrors/obsolete-tag obsolete HTML. You reverted my edit with edit summary 'maybe you wanted to help, but the "Welcome!" was small.' I don't want to mess up your "Welcome", so I restored my edit except for the obsolete font tags on your Welcome. My markup should have worked, and I verified that it did work using Mozilla Firefox and all five skins that can be set on the Appearance tab on the preference page. In HTML4, the largest permitted font size was 7. Your markup, which I have restored, was
<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="9">— Welcome ! —</font>
Font size 9 is supposed to be equivalent to 7, the maximum, which recodes to "xxx-large" in HTML5 markup. My markup, which works in Mozilla Firefox, was
<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:xxx-large">— Welcome ! —</span>
avoiding the obsolete font tag. I learned of font-size:xxx-large only recently, from mw:Help:Lint_errors/obsolete-tag#Font sizes. Perhaps not all browsers support xxx-large. I have verified that it works in Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge with Windows 10 and also in Chrome with Windows 7. What browser are you using? —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Anomalocaris First of all, thank you; I didn't know why. The text seemed small to me. I'm using Safari (OS X). Why
<div...>and not<center>, Anomalocaris? Or why is<div..>used instead of<big>? BennTheResearcher (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
November 2021[edit]
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Abraham. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. WP:RNPOV is site-wide policy. Whoever removes the word character
from {{Infobox character}} is awarely acting against website policy. Consciously acting against policy will be reported to WP:ANI. tgeorgescu (talk) 05:33, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
