I feel sorry for even trying to add any sanity to this page. But I've noticed that you're heavy on editorialising things, LTBDL, 'naw, we don't need that' in various ways without much justification but personal taste or (possibly) sensibilities. It's good to have another active editor who spots and corrects things, of course, just I keep wondering if I should revert a few of your changes (I don't think I ever do, I do revert spam/vandalism but you're clearly hearfelt and genuine). 172.70.86.64 08:02, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

what? can you link the diffs? youtube.com/watch?v=miLcaqq2Zpk (talk) 10:28, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

(Me again, whatever the IP below says. If you take an anon-IP's word for it.)

A sample, only, from recent change-history, indicative of what I mean. Nothing I'd undo, but I was tempted. (I did undo something, but that's for different reasons, as stated. And this seemed strange to remove so I partially reinserted it.)

• Redacting long-standing Trivia (and yet your linking of WetRiffs.com was not useful.
• Seemed relevent and had been usefully there for long enough.
• Something is lost to the paragraph, in that one, IMO...
• Comment doesn't match change ...

Oh, and, I totally agreed with this... ;) 172.70.90.173 20:14, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

(Me again...) Just got two minor problems with this couple of edits. Firstly, just wiping the hebrew out (is it not relevent, to those that might read it?). Secondly, the image (fixing the obvious lack of one, or at least the redlink of the original which might just be a typo with a real original upload out there somewhere) is huuuuuge. Can you at least reupload that one of yours rescaled at half width (and height, obviously) so it doesn't put the rest of the page into only the left half of the screen at much reduced font — at least in my case. Your browser/display might be happier with it, or else you'd have noticed, but it definitely breaks mine. 172.70.90.121 20:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

stop using a vpn. anyway,

1137: i didn't remove it, just moved it to the bottom of the explanation as it was causing a space to appear at the start of the explanation, but i can see how people would miss it.

305: do we really want to link to that?

1534: i just thought that we're explaining the comic, not external things.

972: same as 1534.

2592: pls ignore

1037: the hebrew is in the comic itself, so i just thought, you know. and sorry, but i have no idea how to shrink the image size of photos.

that's my rationale for those edits. hope you understand. youtube.com/watch?v=miLcaqq2Zpk (talk) 10:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

(what are these citation neededs)

Re: your edit, the answer is that these are the raw markup code that the actual {{Citation needed}} template uses, as can be seen if you dig deep enough, e.g. here.

Some people just can't remember the exact format, so might copy the non-template form from somewhere where it's explicit, and/or recreate it from scratch for themselves. (Or possibly they get confused by the 'correct format' examples in the Template page being markup, not template, when the intention of the correct/incorrect formatting shown is really the intended relationship of the tag with any punctuation.)

The actual template is upper then lower initials but (because not everyone remembers that) it is also redirected to from {{Citation Needed}} (upper and upper) and {{citation needed}} (lower and lower) for easy/carefree use. Also there's {{fact}} (doubly ironically named?), which many also use as a shortcut, and possibly some other redirects that I can't recall right now. You recently added the one via {{cn}}, I think I noted, and why not? Less obvious in editing, what that is, but basically identical when just reading.

Not to be confused with {{Citation neededs}}, which is a struckthrough variation (not sure how often that is used!), and {{Actual citation needed}} which is the non-joke version as per 'normal' wiki use, though tends not to be used because linking to something (or editing it out) tends to be easier for the userbase who even know of this.
