Old sandbox

Resolved

– No problem

Hello SMcCandlish, An editor recently asked me about Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds/naming sandbox and how that relates to the capitalization of bird common names. I explained that it was a sandbox and not a guideline, but since it might confuse others in the future, would you be OK with me blanking that page? Thanks, SchreiberBike talk 05:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

@SchreiberBike: Yeah, that was old sandboxing of language eventually worked into their project "guideline" (the one that got rejected by the huge WP:BIRDCON RfC, at least as to capitalizing common names of species). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 12:40, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

WT:AT

Fixed

Is the "support" part of this comment intended to apply to what Dicklyon has said there, or to the proposed insertion of the sentence in WP:AT? I'm having trouble determining what is being supported by "support." Thanks, Dekimasuよ! 20:33, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Good catch. I've put it in the correct section now. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 04:49, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps an alternate account

Considering the recent fun, I was wondering if you had considered setting up a public alternate account? PaleAqua (talk) 21:37, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't see how that would help in such situations, since I'd still be logging into it with a password that could be grabbed. My concern was one of security, not of identity. My concern with regard to the SPI case is the presumption by the filer that any anon commenting in a vaguely clueful manner must automatically be part of a sockpuppet conspiracy, a presumption that flies in the face of general WP policy and reality. I'm disappointed that the filer has not been administratively admonished with regard to that abuse of SPI. It's not just a waste of time at SPI, it's a nasty bit of assumption of bad faith, battlegrounding, and character assassination to "win" an argument. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 04:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Quotation marks RFC

Done

Your input is desired at RFC: Quotation marks in displayed article titles. You seemed very much in favor when the idea was first brought up, but what about nesting quotes? —174.141.182.82 (talk) 10:41, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I weighed in, with a question and qualified support. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 03:36, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
