User talk:73.240.115.64

Hi, and...

Hi! I agree, in principle, with your rationale, but if you had put that "WP:DIB" as the edit summary for your original edit here you'd've saved us both valuable time. Technopat (talk) 06:50, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't think to add it as the content of the edits seemed substantial enough not to be flagged as potential vandalism. I'll try to remember to use the edit summary. 73.240.115.64 (talk) 07:07, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. As per WP:FIES, "Accurate summaries help other contributors decide whether they want to review an edit, and to understand the change should they choose to review it." Happy editing! --Technopat (talk) 07:11, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The song is a play on the word "fiend" and I merely linked to the Wiktionary entry of the word. 73.240.115.64 (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Just make sure the text says fein instead of fiend on Fein (song). You can still link to that dictionary page. Dethmstr says: "Love is hellos, goodbyes and gossamer." 16:04, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In this case of this song "fein" (or "FE!N") is a stylistic riff off the actual word fiend (and fein itself isn't an English word). In this instance it seems appropriate to clarify the actual spelling of the word "fiend". 73.240.115.64 (talk) 16:54, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, just do it. I was too trigger happy, I guess. You seem to be making sense when you explain yourself. Dethmstr says: "Love is hellos, goodbyes and gossamer." 16:58, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
