@Invasive Spices: Concerning your edit summary:
Has been asked repeatedly by a large number of editors to stop.Also has been thanked by a signicantly larger number of editors.
deceptive edit summariesMy edit summary was completely accurate. There was a consistent citation style before your edit and I re-established it.
Defaces the work of othersFirst author initials in citations are widely used in scientific journals. So journals deface authors? ORCIDs were never intended to be used in citation templates the way that you are using. Furthermore it pollutes the meta data.
without contributing to pagesI have assisted in bringing several articles to GA and FA status. I was a major contributor to articles such as Natural product, HSP90, Nuclear receptor, Transcription factor, Partition coefficient, and many more.
Uses a series of rolling excusesI have been quite consistent. Boghog (talk) 18:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
|vauthors=
is the only lawful cite format and all others are deprecated.You have been thanked exclusively by editors with no familiarity with WP. Please see the barn stars on my page. Included are several awarded from Wikipedia administrators.
This has long been recognized as disruptive editingPlease go back and carefully re-read WP:CITEVAR. In particular the section on "Generally considered helpful".
imposing one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles
I have never seen you make a productive edit. Please look at the links that I have provided above.
never been true when the edit history is actually examinedLike STAT4 and TBX21 where I established the style? Boghog (talk) 19:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
|vauthors=
is required on WP, and they have thanked you for what they assume to be valid information. Every other time it's one of us telling you we're not happy with your removal of author information. CITEVAR
CITEVAR has several things in there including the "imposing" recommendation. Obviously that's not meant to be a cover story for someone who exclusively removes author information, and then edit wars over it. I want my contributions to WP to be usable - therefore I don't want anyone removing as much data from {{cite}}s as they think they can get away with.|vauthors=
, or used the et al
option while other data was added, which you didn't mean to do (I assume?), leaving a cite with a combination of several |vauthors=
, |last#=
, |first#=
, etc, in the same template.|trans-title=
and such and so always damages non-English sources.You have misinformed naive, new editors that |vauthors=
is required on WP
. When did I ever say that? Please provide a diff. Consistent with WP:CITEVAR, The only thing I suggested is that if Vancouver author style was already established in an article, it should be maintained.leaving a cite with a combination of severalI admit that occasionally happens. Recently I have been looking for CS1 errors in the preview to catch and eliminate those errors.|vauthors=
,|last#=
,|first#=
Further your bot is entirely unfamiliar with |trans-title=
and such and so always damages non-English sources.
. Can you point to a single example where this happened, let alone always? Please provide a diff. Boghog (talk) 20:58, 5 October 2021 (UTC)ReplyIf the article is in a foreign language, and the original title is unknown, enclose the translated title in square brackets and use|title=
. Otherwise use|title=
for the foreign-language title and|trans-title=
for the English-language title.
|trans-title=
without |title=
is used, an error message is generated (see Category:CS1 errors: translated title). The bots use of |title=
with square brackets for foreign language sources is 100% correct, your use of |trans-title=
without including the untranslated |title=
is not. Boghog (talk) 09:13, 10 October 2021 (UTC)ReplyThe bot assumes that the pre-existing doi, pmid, and pmc are correct. In very rare cases, it has accidentally substituted the wrong ref.is going on. You are violating the basics of WP:VERIFY - someone else has provided verification and you are falsifying it.

@Invasive Spices: By including both |last-n=
, |first-n=
, and |author-n=
to store ORCIDs in the same {{cite journal}} template as in this edit, you are generating a Category:CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list error that needs to be corrected. Use |last-n=
, |first-n=
or|author-n=
, but not both. Please stop using the |author-n=
parameter in a way that was never intended. Thanks. Boghog (talk) 20:49, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
PubMed provides a quick author search for each of the authors in a publication. For example, PMID 30718880, provides a link to Wulff BBH. Why not use this instead? Boghog (talk) 20:59, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
