User talk:Chris Capoccia

Thank you for all of your help! I just have a couple of questions.

Hi Chris, I have been working on the Bioelectricity Wikipedia page with my colleagues and I really appreciate all the help that you have provided us in making the page more suitable for Wikipedia. We have put in citations in all the places that citations have been requested and also responded to the suggestion to merge with Biomagnetics (which we do not agree with and put our statement in the appropriate talk page a couple of weeks ago). I am wondering if you'd be willing to remove the two tags on the top of the page that indicate the need for the citations (which we have put in) and the suggestion for the merge (which we don't agree with and no one else has added to the conversation)? I really appreciate your help with our efforts to make the field of Bioelectricity more available for the general public to learn about and to hopefully enrich and inspire lives through learning.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Editing AFA page at the same time

Hello Chris, I'm new to wiki editing, and was working for hours on the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae page, and when I went to publish, it brought up a notification of an editing conflict, showing that (I think) you had been working on the page as well at the same time. I didn't overwrite any of your text, but I wanted to see if editions that I want to suggest would be okay. I'm new to this, so let me know how I can do that.

Removed URLs in Aphantasia article

A few days ago you made some changes to the Aphantasia article, including removing a number of URLs in citations. In the absence of an edit summary I can't tell what the intent was, but I'm guessing that you thought the titles would still be linked because the citations had doi's. This only works when they also have doi-access=free. Anyway, I've put the URLs back in the citations that didn't have it. Regards, Dan Bloch (talk) 21:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

The goal is not necessarily to have the title hyperlinked but to correctly document the bibliographic data. Duplicating the DOI or any other identifyer into the URL parameter is pointless. See the instructions in HELP:CS1: "It is not necessary to specify a URL to a link identical to a link also produced by an identifier. The |url= parameter (or |title-link=) can then be used for providing a direct deep link to the corresponding document or a convenience link to a resource that would not otherwise be obviously accessible."   — Chris Capoccia 💬 15:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I disagree with this. Perhaps 1 percent of Wikipedia users know what a DOI is or would think to click on a doi: identifier. If you remove the url parameter (except for the open access case where the URL from the doi parameter is used in its place), you're preventing users from seeing the source.

The HELP:CS1 instructions also have another interpretation. I think it's assumed that there's a URL parameter, and HELP:CS1 is saying that if there's also a DOI identifier the two don't have to be the same. Dan Bloch (talk) 00:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
