User talk:GUYTU6J
To be honest, I didn't expect this page to be created so soon... Anyway, welcome! GUYTU6J (talk) 03:43, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
For talk pages I have involved (or rather, I remembered to sign), see the search results
br tags
You are using br tags in order to create linebreaks recently. Apparently, it makes editing pages painful. Please use two linebreaks in substitution for it. Ultimium (talk) 03:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- What's its disadvantage and where did I use it? And (I feel like a noob) what's a linebreak?GUYTU6J (talk) 03:43, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, the author of this section has given up completing it. GUYTU6J (talk) 09:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
BokaBB is from Serbia
That's why I crossed it out. ColorfulGalaxy (talk) 13:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well, then, why should the user be added to the List of Chinese users on the forums? GUYTU6J (talk) 14:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
WSL install
It seems that there is an easier way to install WSL these days; just enter
wsl --install
at the Command Prompt, install the core update package, and install the distribution from Microsoft Store.Pzq Alex (talk) 07:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Nice to know. How many steps can I save from my original installation process? GUYTU6J (talk) 08:03, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Suggestion: split major edits into two or more focused edits
Hello. When doing major edits that change a page in a significant way, I would like to suggest to split the edit into several relatively minor edits, rather than doing everything at once; for each edit, please provide a separate edit summary that explains what and why is changed.
For a concrete example, this edit is hard to review - too many changes are made at once. Confocal (talk) 13:24, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
Unease
When I am editing LifeWiki and hovering mouse over the blue button labelled "Save changes", it anomalously says "Save your changes [alt+shift+s] and alert another user to quickly revise". I have no idea what the intent or logic it is, but I find the experiences pretty unpleasant and likely to cause unnecessary conflicts. Yes, maintaining LifeWiki is a collaborative effort and there may be different opinions towards what counts as better, but the environment where harsh watching/monitoring/supervision from certain somebody persists 24/7 is definitely not encouraging.
To myself: don't touch anything here without a 10-foot pole. Consider further contribution worthless. GUYTU6J (talk) 07:27, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
One of several big underlying ideas behind a wiki is that active editors review each other's contributions. No one can know everything and everyone has limitations. An one person's attempt to take care of everything is doomed to a failure.
I am reviewing your edits. Can you please explain why you chose to reuse pages (several examples: one, two, three, four) for an unrelated purpose?
"Move-to-unrelated-page" should not be used instead of proper deletion of one page and creation of an unrelated page. If you want to make a new page, you should create a new clean page. Confocal (talk) 09:03, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- I will award the title of Ironic Statement of the Year to the two sentences "An one person's attempt to take care of everything is doomed to a failure" and "I am reviewing your edits" that are mentioned simultaneously. Where are the other active users? I cannot see.
- Re: the move - feel free to ask the admins to delete these pages, or in the case of moved pages, delete the old revisions. Pages that have been tagged pending deletion tend to wait too long before their actual removal. GUYTU6J (talk) 10:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- I believe these moves are fine. 1. They would qualify as G6 under Wikipedia, i.e. they are technical and uncontroversial. 2. Unlike Wikipedia, it often takes weeks to months for them to finally get deleted. Moving to an unrelated page effectively deletes them. I will say that it has to be something without meaningful edit history, e.g. the miscapitalized p128 wing hassler that was immediately moved and the redirect forgot to be suppressed. Note that normal users can't suppress redirects on Wikipedia, but they can here. HotdogPi (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
Broken links
Many (although not all) broken external links can be fixed thanks to Internet Archive. These kinds of issues are often easier to fix yourself than ask someone else fix it. Confocal (talk) 10:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Footnotes
Re: this edit -- this is incorrect (because the footnote in question was not in fact repeated before it was silently moved in this edit), and does not answer the question "why remove the useful footnote". IMO repeating would not be a problem, anyway. Footnotes can support specific claims, while "External links" / "Further reading" section can link to places with more information about the subject than is provided in the page. If the same link can be used in both ways, it seems reasonable to have it both as a footnote and an "External links" item. Confocal (talk) 10:48, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Holiday
Happy Chinese New Year! -- User:ColorfulGalaxy and CurrentNews (talk) 14:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Just so you know, ColorfulGalaxy can post here. ColorfulGalaxy is only banned on the forums, not the wiki. HotdogPi (talk) 14:25, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
Improvement suggestions
I think the "improvement suggestions" become more of a demand to other people for something to be done, rather than actual suggestions about what can be done with a page. There seems to be no reasonable way of telling other people here "This needs to be done".
Changed "needs to be done" to "can be done" for now -- not sure if this fixes the problem in this particular case or it just makes things worse overall, but at least it is an attempt. Confocal (talk) 12:31, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
