User talk:EEMIV

Semi-retired

I'll check Wikipedia several times daily but don't have the time to remain engaged in more than a handful of articles. If there's a particular area where I can be useful -- mediating or weighing in, that kind of thing -- drop a line on my talk page and I'll head over.

Fixing talk page archives

Hi EEMIV. I am one of many Wikipedia editors working to fix lint errors on Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Linter includes a section on "Other errors", which includes this bullet:

Possible error: four single quote marks (some might be valid usage denoting a bold phrase inside or including single quote marks, see MOS:SINGLE. However, even in such cases, it is useful to change '''' to {{`}}''' or '''{{`}} to indicate whether the single quote is inside or outside the bold.)

Clicking the link will bring up a regex search that will time out and is not very interesting unless you want to participate in the campaign to address this markup. What is interesting is the recommendation to use {{`}} before or after three apostrophes to remove any doubt as to whether the apostrophe is inside or outside the bold. That's what I have been doing on hundreds of pages, including User talk:EEMIV/Archive3. Two other editors edited this page before I did to correct lint errors and other issues. At 18:56, 13 October 2010 (UTC), SmackBot edited it to properly Subst the {{Unsigned}} template. At 15:33, 6 October 2021 (UTC), MalnadachBot edited it to replace obsolete <font> tags with HTML5-compliant <span> tags. MalnadachBot edited your Archive1 and Archive2, and SmackBot edited your Archive4 for similar tasks. I didn't check any more of your archive pages. You reverted my edit of Archive3 with summary[reply]

Reverted good faith edits by Anomalocaris (talk): Thanks but leave my talk page archive alone, please

I will try to remember not to edit this page again, but can't promise that I won't at some point bump into it and forget that you asked it to be left alone. Another editor working on "four single quote marks" may also come along and do what I did. Hopefully, you will decide on your own that my work, like the work of MalnadachBot and SmackBot, is improving Wikipedia and should be advanced. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
