Quick note on copy-and-paste page moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Info Box Images

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Luxor, Pennsylvania. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Population was spread out

I see you fixed that on one article. I made the mistake of updating the population of Goose Creek, South Carolina after seeing a newspaper article listing the largest cities in the state. But I found a 2019 estimate in the infobox that can't be fixed and an unsourced description of what the 2020 census said. So there's conflicting information, plus "the population is spread out". I know you can fix one of the problems but who can fix the others?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: here's a link to the US Census Bureau QuickFacts tool which shows that the 2020 census was 46,229: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/goosecreekcitysouthcarolina,US/POP010220. As for fixing the infobox, I will take a look at that shortly. Regards, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 01:47, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee:I've removed the 2019 estimate from the population section of the infobox. We also need to fix the Historical Population table: delete the 2019 estimate line and add 2020 with an inline citation to https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/goosecreekcitysouthcarolina,US/POP010220. The Census site is down for maintenance at the moment; I will take care of this once it comes back online. Regards, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 10:53, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: Historical Population table has been fixed. BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 14:32, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Major cryptocurrency firm article corrections and important updates

Hi, I see you’re a participant in the WikiProject for Finance and Investment and are currently active on Wikipedia. There are some corrections and important updates needed in the article about Digital Currency Group, one of the major players in cryptocurrency. I’ve started a discussion here. I have a COI, as fully disclosed on the page. Given the nature of the topic I thought this might be of interest to you as a participant in the Finance and Investment WikiProject. Thanks very much for your time. CertifiedTurtle (talk) 23:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. Normally I try to help, but in this case I think it's best to decline. I know little about crypto, and nothing at all about Digital Currency Group. And this page is pretty contentious. So I think it best that I sit on the sidelines and wish you well with your project. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Formatting medical references

In your edit on the Alzheimer's disease article, Special:Diff/1297689598, the source wasn't formatted correctly or with all its information that would be useful to readers wanting to assess the whole source.

The article is listed on PubMed, where a Wikipedia editor can copy the PMID number 38849944, and insert it into the Wikipedia citation template tool, check the "add ref tag" and "use full journal title" boxes, then "submit" to generate this:

If the ref is going to be used again, give it a unique WP:REFNAME, such as "ornish", and don't fill in the article URL because the article has a PMC number which produces the full article. Also, don't be concerned about the large list of authors because the Alzheimer's article has a "config-sys" parameter that limits author displays in references to 6 names.

The feedback on the Alzheimer's talk page was useful for identifying this study as primary research in a limited design, i.e., it's too preliminary for the encyclopedia and not a mainstream review; see middle paragraph of WP:MEDSCI.

Hope this is useful. Good luck! Zefr (talk) 16:38, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes, very useful. I appreciate the response. This topic is important to me. I have been tentatively diagnosed with mild neuro-cognitive disorder due to a medical event (COVID-19). I'm about to be a patient in an observational research study and am hoping that will speed up access to a definitive diagnosis. I'm trying to learn everything about it while I still can. Regards, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 17:32, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

You might be interested in the article on Long COVID. I'm curious about what you would expect from a "definitive diagnosis". How would this help you deal with mild cognitive impairment? Most people who've had COVID have lingering effects over months/years - mild cognitive effects ("fogginess") is prevalent; there is no drug or even useful diagnostic and treatment process because of the many possible organs affected and interacting conditions. There's no evidence that experiencing mild cognitive effects now translates to severe decline (or Alzheimer's) in the future. I hope your participation in the research gives good insight. Good luck!

Appreciate your contribution to Derry, Pennsylvania, however the link you provided seems to direct to a USGS general page. Not sure if that's what you intended?

I'm reaching out because your background in corporate finance aligns well with the subject matter.

I've drafted a Wikipedia article about Simon Bedard, an Australian M&A advisor and National Chair of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers. The draft is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Habibiwise/Simon_Bedard

Would you be open to taking a look?
