Merging 'Leaflet'
Hey, I noticed you proposed a merger of leaflet in this edit. You propose to merge it to 'compound leaf', but that article is currently a redirect to Leaf#Divisions of the blade, and hence has no talk page to 'Discuss' the merger. For what it's worth, I agree that 'leaflet' should be merged, and I think it could be done with a few sentences in the 'leaf' article in the 'Divisions of the blade' section. Since the 'Discuss' link on the merge template is a redlink, I'm replying here. Are you proposing a new 'Compound leaf' article, or would merging the contents to leaf be suitable? Antepenultimate (talk) 03:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Antepenultimate:With the small amount of content on leaflet, merging to the section on leaf should be fine. There may be the opportunity to cover compound leaves in their own article in the future, but I don't see the content justifying now. —Ost (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Checkwiki
A huge thank you for helping out on Checkwiki. A death of a loved laptop has caused one of us to drop out for awhile. You are helping me greatly by finishing the rest off, especially on the most recent daily run. Seemed to be alot more articles that normal. Thank you. Bgwhite (talk) 20:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite: I guess that I came across it at a good time, then, especially if most other times the list is complete. I haven't had as much time to help around here as much as I used to, and I appreciate you letting me know that my recent flurry of activity has helped. —Ost (talk) 20:24, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks and and humble request
Hello Ost316,
Thank you for your edits on List of Georgetown University alumni. It's always great to know that someone is out there looking after the smaller (but certainly no less important) details of Wikipedia articles like proper punctuation. This article uses a very large number of dashes where there should be (what I believe to be) em dashes. Sadly, I am not adept at using AWB. Do you think, if you get the chance, you could go through the article and clean up the remaining instances? I know there are quite a few of them so, don't worry if you're busy.
Thanks for your work. Ergo Sum 03:50, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Ergo Sum: Glad to help. I ran it through WP:AutoEd, which I believe got the bulk of them. —Ost (talk) 14:33, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. Thanks for your help. Ergo Sum 16:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
2015–16 Ranji Trophy Group A
Hi Ost. I notice you cleaned up the above article with AWB. If you have a spare moment, please could you do the same on the related Group B and Group C articles? Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:03, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: I didn't see much to cleanup on them, but I ran them through it nonetheless. — Ost (talk) 14:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Huế, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East Sea. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Checkwiki 91 bug
I undid your change here because, in addition to the resulting horrible display, it also creates a duplicate argument error. Regards, NSH002 (talk) 09:31, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- @NSH002: Thank you. I'm unclear why it was giving the duplicate arguments error as I wasn't using named parameters, but I've further cleaned up the page to reflect the intent of my original edit. —Ost (talk) 20:21, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- You can still duplicate unnamed parms. Usually this happens because someone writes
{{foo|bar|1=bar}}(so you have two arguments both trying to be the first unnamed one). In your case, however, the "unnamed" arguments were both a very long url with an "=" in it; the bit before the "=" is then taken as the name of the parameter, and because that part of the url is the same in both cases, you get a duplicate argument error. Not only that, but what you might imagine is the 2nd unnamed argument (the "ru" in your case) is interpreted as the first unnamed argument (because you inadvertently named the first one). One way round it is to explicitly number all the arguments:{{foo|1=bar|2=xxx|3=yyy}}. Or you can use {{=}} to "escape" the "=" in the url. But it is best to fix the checkwiki code so this doesn't happen. Hope this helps. NSH002 (talk) 01:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
