ZLEA: It was not a test. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#Avoid_these_other_common_mistakes.

Next time, please remove the boldface text or add the link somewhere else in the lead. The link was there for a reason. - ZLEA T\ C 02:19, 30 December 2022 (UTC) reply
Disagreed.
The boldface text is there for a reason - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#First_sentence.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#cite_note-17:
Many, but not all, articles repeat the article title in bold face in the first line of the article. Linking the article to itself produces boldface text; this practice is discouraged as page moves will result in a useless circular link through a redirect. Linking part of the bolded text is also discouraged because it changes the visual effect of bolding; some readers will miss the visual cue which is the purpose of using bold face in the first place. 73.246.14.220 ( talk) 04:38, 30 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Mitski—because it did not appear constructive.

Response:

Materialscientist: Mitski's legal and birth name is Mitsuki Francis Laycock. The article even mentions the birth name (with a reference citation), and my edit note included a URL to an external article.

The birth name in the infobox is incorrect, and will be corrected. Miyawaki is Mitski's mother's last name, and is not her birth name.

See my response above. I added a reference citation to the change. From a cited article: "Born Mitsuki Laycock". This means the birthname is "Mitsuki Laycock". 73.246.14.220 ( talk) 02:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Also, the lead sentence and /info/en/?search=Mitski#Early_life mentions the birthname, Mitsuki Laycock. 73.246.14.220 ( talk) 02:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Iris Martinez, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist ( talk) 10:13, 21 May 2023 (UTC) reply
