OK. But now, with your edits, the article has an error. The 14 dogs died in the Big Lagoon, South Fork of the Eel River, and the Van Duzen River NOT ONLY in the South Fork of the Eel River. This is documented int the reference you provided.
Also, the article now implies that one should not go in the river year round which isn't the case, just during warm weather and low water flows. This is documented in the reference you provided. The way it now reads, it could imply that the Kinetic Sculpture Race cannot safely cross the Eel River earlier in the year (at Fernbridge which is the South Fork of the Eel River).
Would you like to take a go at correcting these two items or might you prefer I make a go at it? Countercheck (talk) 18:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of cosmologists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nuclei.

Vital articles

[edit]

Hey there! I've been noticing your sweeps (I presume) fixing up our vital articles, and I wanted to show my appreciation. I also really want to put in some generalized work here, so if you need any help, let me know! Remsense ‥ 论 18:55, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated Countercheck (talk) 19:17, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the work on Bronze Age. However, I took a look myself, and ended up spending a lot of time with further glaring issues. Almost immediately, it was pretty clear to me that the article did not meet WP:B? and would not without much of the uncited content being addressed, among other issues. That is to say, make sure you're only promoting articles to B Class that clearly meet the criteria. Remsense ‥ 论 23:37, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You have been systematically removing duplicate links. Please reconsider this. In a long article, it may be difficult for the reader to find the first link of a word or phrase. So linking it again is a service in such cases. JRSpriggs (talk) 14:46, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're thinking that I keep only the first link and delete the rest, that isn't what I'm usually doing. I keep the first one, delete some after that and almost always keep at least the second one (and sometimes the third and/or fourth one). Countercheck (talk) 00:01, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Robert C. Robbins

[edit]

Hi Countercheck, I am working to update the Robert C. Robbins article. I see that you've a member of WP:BLP and that you have an interest in Academics, so I hope you'll take a look at the edit request I posted on the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_C._Robbins. Would you consider moving the information from the lead to the Career section?
