This user talk page is watched by several friendly editors, and someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is always appreciated.

To the degree you might care, by the bye, I'm male, but I don't snarl with rage if misgendered; it's a good bit less by way of travail and indignity than half the human race put up with for pretty much the entire Holocene.

Thank you for nuking the "walk score" cruft at Springfield, Massachusetts. You may find this RFC useful for cleanup as well. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:13, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've always felt that cruft like that is utterly subjective, subject to infinite debate (cf. Alpha World City vs Epsilon World City), usually poorly sourced, and impenetrable to laymen. What the bloody hell IS a "Walk Score," what do the numbers mean, and what's the methodology? Quite aside from that duh, city centers tend to be more walkable than their peripheries. Who knew?

Regarding rv on Pontic Greek culture

[edit]

Hi, I see that you've reverted this edit of mine. You're right that I should have included a summary, that's my bad, but if you read the text I edited you will see that the statement I removed is redundant; the text reads "According to Ethnologue, 778,000 spoke Romeika as of 2015. 400,000 of these speakers lived in Greece. Most of these speakers live in Greece". It's already established that 400k out of 778k lived in Greece as recently as 2015, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for the very next sentence to state essentially the same thing in a more vague manner.

Ah, fair enough. Feel free to revert to your version, then; that makes sense. Ravenswing 00:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I'll go ahead and restore it. TeoTB (talk) 00:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage edit

[edit]

I should explain why I edited it. I landed there by following a WP:RWL link from some other page, and did not even realize until after I made the first edit that it was a userpage. I obviously agree that generally "your userpage, your perogative to do whatever within reason". But I'm concerned that a WP-space link to it appears to elevate it beyond being just your userpage for personal-user writing and moves towards being something more of a WP:Essay.
