Digital HiNote

Hey @DigitalIceAge! Thanks a lot for improving the article about the Digital HiNote, it looks way better now. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PhotographyEdits You're welcome, thanks for making it! I think the factoid about the MacBook Air advertisement would make a good entry in the front page "Did you know..." section, if you don't mind proposing it. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @DigitalIceAge, I just did that Template:Did you know nominations/Digital HiNote here! PhotographyEdits (talk) 21:10, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good @PhotographyEdits! I proposed an alternate hook with an image. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@PhotographyEdits Also gave IBM Palm Top PC 110 a spruce-up. (Not stalking you I promise, I just happned to come across that article at the same time ;) DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DigitalIceAge That's really great, well done! And that's not a problem at all, feel free to look through my created articles and other contributions and improve stuff. For example, some time ago I was trying to get the Canon Notejet to GA status, but was unable to find sources for the missing stuff that was said here: Talk:Canon_NoteJet. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good! NoteJets are so awesome, I hope I come across one that's reasonably priced at a flea market soon... I'll see what I can do with the article. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DigitalIceAge That would be great! I don't own one, sadly. PhotographyEdits (talk) 14:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With vs with

Good you caught that. I literally didn't notice even after you did it. It has always been lower-case w, but I never noticed. The only lingering issue, if any, is the capitalization and wording of of the DYK template. Coretheapple (talk) 22:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • No problem, I fixed the DYK nom too. It can be tricky when the works cited all have their own style guides, I've learned. Some keep short prepositions lowercase, some keep all prepositions lowercase, some capitalize the first letter of every word regardless. And then you have phrasal verbs, infinitive vs. preposition to, preposition vs. adverb like... it never ends. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of word processors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spellbinder.
