tags, which are considered obsolete in HTML5 and are generating Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. Even though these are low priority lint errors, it was easy to fix, so I went ahead and did it.

Please do not use "publisher" for website fields; Template:Cite web explicitly discourages that, saying "The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.)". Instead use "website" field. As for Template:Cite news, the field "newspaper" is redundant; instead use "work". --Kailash29792 (talk) 07:03, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/...
I believe that the company publishing the work, BBC News, is more important than the website that BBC News used to post the story, which very likely was also read aloud on radio broadcasts. So, for BBC News, I believe "publisher" and not "website" is usually the correct parameter. Similarly, if Amnesty International publishes something on Amnesty.org, I would list that using |publisher=[[Amnesty International]]
, not using |website=Amnesty.org
. But if something appears on what some people call Salon.com and Wikipedia disambiguates as Salon (website), I would list that using |website=[[Salon (website)|Salon]]
. I hope you agree.{{cite news |author1=Andrea Zarate |author2=Nicholas Casey |date=April 17, 2019 |title=Alan García, Ex-President of Peru, Is Dead After Shooting Himself During Arrest |newspaper=The New York Times |page=A11 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/17/world/americas/alan-garcia-dead.html}}
|website=Rotten Tomatoes
. I took a look at ProveIt. This tool biases {{cite web}}
in favor of "website" by hiding "publisher" behind "show all fields". Yes, Rotten Tomatoes and Salon call for "website", not "publisher". But items published by Amnesty International, Sierra Club, and National Rifle Association on their respective websites should be listed by "publisher" not "website". More specifically, if AIPAC publishes something on its website, it should be coded as |publisher=American Israel Public Affairs Committee
, or just |publisher=AIPAC
, not |website=aipac.org
. I hope you agree. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:14, 18 April 2019 (UTC)| publisher=[[NDTV]]

. NDTV begins by saying, "New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) is an Indian television media company...." and I believe that here, "publisher" is correct. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:25, 18 April 2019 (UTC)I would like to know the reason due to which my edit on the article Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2006 October 9 was reverted by you.

) slightly out of place. I reverted and moved the bold markup on those four items. My edit summary began with the usual "Undid revision ..." and I added "... and fix bold correctly; these articles have weird bold that should be preserved." This means that in addition to reverting, I edited the article to solve the actual problem with bold. I hope WPCleaner now approves the article. If not, how does WPCleaner respond to articles for preceding and following days? —Anomalocaris (talk) 15:41, 19 April 2019 (UTC)idk btw sorr 4 dis — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTongPro GD (talk • contribs) 20:35, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Draft:Raj&Pablo, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Removing 2610 bytes is not a minor edit. It appears that you may have the minor edit flag permanently set. Please unset it. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:23, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for a remark on a personal discussion page. But for me the table cells, contains the <div style=> (top) and <small> </small> (bottom) seems like this: http://i.imgur.com/UFkkxeo.png - and so, "div style" is just not working. Maybe, this is a my system configuration problem (linux? installed fonts? browser version?), but, 勿論, there is not a good result at all. 85.202.228.67 (talk) 23:16, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello Anomalocaris, It'd be great help if you could review one of my article. It is such a shame that a film like Mallesham (2019 film) didn't have an article until now.

If you want to raise this minor technical issue, do so at WT:SPI. What you see is is the way it generates when one follows the instructions at SPI to create a report. If it really needs to be addressed, then the generation needs to be changed for all reports. Please don't continue to do what you've been doing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:46, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi- Thanks for helping out with "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Charles_Maurice". The page is currently in DRAFT and has a message up top that says "This article needs additional citations for verification [...]". How does one remove this label?

Anomalocaris, you're a gift from heaven. I'm not very adept technically, so I have no idea about the HTML things you mention in your edit-summary. If it's a repetitive task, perhaps you could do one to show me, and I'll do the rest? Tony (talk) 08:54, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Greetings Anomalocaris! I made a draft on a subject mentioned in the reliable media as "noted philosopher". His books have been commented on and referenced by Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, Robert Bernasconi and many others. There are exclusive articles on him in reliable sources including journals. There is a biographical essay too. Artists too have made works inspired by him. Will you please have a look and help to improve it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shaj_Mohan — Preceding unsigned comment added by WWorringer (talk • contribs) 19:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Also, when you reply on a talk page, you should indent each paragraph of your comments with a colon (:), or one more colon than used in the section you're replying to. When things get too indented, you can use {{outdent}}

Hi! I've seen that you have edited a draft page I'm working on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pan-Romance_language). I'm new in Wikipedia, so any help is very welcome! But I haven't understood what you have done. I'd be thank full if you could briefly explain what I was doing wrong, so I don't need to bother you in the future ;) By the way, it seems that we were both editing at the same time, and when I tried to save my work I lost it. How can that be avoided in the future? Thanks again! Jorcaiba (talk) 21:16, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

As you probably know, I'm very eager to delete promotional material. But this article was almost as neutral as possible for the field. I removed a few words, just to make sure. I don't think there was anything wrong with your nominating it--this is why there should always be two people for a g11--some of my G11 nominations have been declined also by other editors who see it differently. ; DGG ( talk ) 02:00, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
That's the phrase for it! When I took a look at the raw markup, I shuddered in horror. I did attempt to clear it out before it got moved to draft but chickened out partway through. Great job cleaning it up! edited to add this is about Draft:Kwesi Wilson...just in case you're dealing with multiple pathological markup articles Schazjmd (talk) 00:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
