The Hard Worker's Barnstar I probably should have posted this earlier, but many thanks for jumping on board and helping out at POTD in the past few weeks/months. It certainly makes life easier not to have to worry about getting every day's blurb up to scratch in time, and to have someone else who is prepared to do the leg work of making sure the material posted is properly cited and up-to-scratch. Thank you for this and all the other excellent work you do on the Wiki, Ravenpuff.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:12, 13 June 2019 (UTC) gaudete et exsultate Thank you for quality articles such as Gaudete et exsultate and List of titular churches, for updating the history of images and hooks used in DYK, for dealing with In the news and Main page errors, for sensible redirects and page moves to better capitalisation, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 20 June 2019 (UTC) The Editor's Barnstar This is to acknowledge and thank you for patrolling the DYK prep sets and making much-needed grammatical fixes!

Re: Ellen Thesleff

Hi, the hook was specifically designed to avoid placing the name of the artist first so that the painting gets the most views. Do you have any objection to restoring the original wording? It should read: "… that art historians believe Self-Portrait may have been drawn by Ellen Thesleff in a trance-like state?" I am also open to alternative wording that preserves the name of the work or links to it in the first position and does not place it next to any other link. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 06:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

One possible solution that both preserves the link and names the artist is to fold it into the title: "… that art historians believe the Self-Portrait of Ellen Thesleff may have been drawn in a trance-like state?" I want readers to focus on visiting the link to the painting, not any other link. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 06:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Why is my hook the only one in the queue that doesn’t have the link to the article in the first position? Viriditas (talk) 07:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Viriditas, I found the original phrasing to be a little awkward. I've now modified the hook to place the bolded link first, by folding Thesleff's name into the link text. Hope this is fine! — RAVENPVFF · talk · 11:39, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I greatly appreciate it. I agree that the original phrasing was awkward, and I should have put more time into it. Viriditas (talk) 12:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Mount Edziza

I see you fixed the respelling key in the Mount Edziza volcanic complex article. I've done the same in the Mount Edziza article but I'm not sure if the respelling key for the indigenous name needs any capitalization since I'm not really familiar with this stuff. Volcanoguy 21:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@Volcanoguy: The capitalization in the respelling key indicates the stressed syllable. Regarding the Tahltan pronunciation in Mount Edziza, it should really be written using {{IPA}} instead of {{IPAc-en}}, since it isn't English text. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 16:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't the one who added the Tahltan pronunciation so if you or someone else can fix that then please do so. Thanks. Volcanoguy 16:25, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Volcanoguy: I've added the Tahltan IPA with a citation to a relevant paper. I tried to mimic the citation syntax in use in the article, but feel free to adjust it if required. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

What was your reason for deleting the respell for the Tahltan name? Volcanoguy 18:42, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Volcanoguy: {{respell}} is specifically intended for English words and pronunciations only. It doesn't work with other languages, and trying to approximate an English pronunciation for the Tahltan word would not be appropriate – see MOS:RESPELL for guidance. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 21:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
