Reference before punctuation

Hi. Can you explain why this is a false positive? In WP:REFPUNCT, there's no situations where this would be a false positives: the reference could be before the closing parenthesis, or after the comma, but not in between. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 14:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

I see, but that does not make any sense and is not known to be common practise, at least not in the scientific background: see also [[1]] ("Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before _any_ punctuation, with a space before the bracket.") Thus WP:MOS should be updated here. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 14:51, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Well. We're on English Wikipedia, so AFAIK, we follow the rules on enWP... And you didn't put the reference before _any_ punctuation, but between two of them... My bot is currently going through this list almost everyday, so it will keep applying the MOS rule. If you really want to keep the reference as it is, please put a comment between the reference and the punctuation, it will be enough for my bot to avoid changing the position of the reference. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 18:19, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

And Chicago Manual of Style, or Oxford Guide to Style seem consistent with MOS. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 18:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Referring to the second reference:

• "...raised slightly above the line, like this [1], without periods, ..." and
• "As enumerated on pp 68–69 of Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style (version 3.2); Hartley and Marks, 2008. Bringhurst goes on to say “But beyond the asterisk, dagger[3], and double dagger[4], this order is not familiar to most readers, and never was.”

So this is indeed what I meant. Punctuation does not only cover the end of sentences (which I did not challenge), but in general all punctuation marks. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 18:49, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I've no real problem if you want to keep the reference between the two punctuation (even if I fail to understand why...), but you will need to add a comment between the reference and the comma to avoid my bot doing the replacement over and over. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 08:03, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

List of LTE networks in Europe

Re this edit: You may notice that it's tagged as a mobile edit. I removed the headers because on my browser (Android Firefox 84) the headers are not the same width as the columns they're supposed to correspond to. It also has a very different UX to normal tables which I as a frequent mobile user am not used to, and when scrolling the table horizontally the headings don't follow. This latter point in particular makes it totally useless. If it was introduced for the benefit of mobile users, I'm afraid that in my opinion it has failed.

5G/LTE networks of Europe

The Irish mobile operators have been using B1 and B28 on a "temporary licence" for over a year now, Is it possible to add these, like a separate category? Also Three and Eir have been refarming n3 10/15 MHz for 5G, but I can't cite any sources because they never announce it (Except for some threads and a Linkedin). CillBill (talk) 07:03, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I think there should be at least inofficial sources. See List of LTE networks in Europe --> UK for an example on how this could look like. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 21:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@Nightwalker-87: I have a feeling these are not official enough.

The second and third reference should be fine from my point of view. :-) Nightwalker-87 (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

3G shutdown table

I have a few gripes:

• I didn't add the Canadian dates because there was no concrete source attached to it. A few websites have it but don't provide a good source or any statement from these companies. Just a date.
• I changed China Mobile to 2020 because the most recent source says that it would shut down by 2020. The source saying since 2016 is older. The German dates had newer sources as well, until you removed them. Telia Lithuania says by Christmas 2022 it will shut down 3G. The older version has an incorrect date of the 31st.
• The South Korean section is LITERALLY ABOUT 2G, NOT 3G. Don't believe me? The source for KT literally says "Terminating 2G service". The LG article also talks about 2G, not 3G. So does SK Telecom, which the source literally says "to support their transition to the telco’s more advanced networks (3G/4G/5G)". It implies that 3G networks are still going for now. The "2G is actually 3G in South Korea" claim has no source and isn't supported by the sources in question.
• Asia Pacific Telecom under Taiwan has no source at all. The Taiwan source also doesn't name any cell companies directly.
• Liberty Puerto Rico is an MVNO. It doesn't run its own network (I'm pretty sure it just uses AT&T's), it shouldn't be there. 2601:901:4300:1CF0:928B:61C3:40AC:EE08 (talk) 00:40, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

So I feel like you didn't "update" anything. You just reverted to older sources. Some of that content was removed for a good reason. 2601:901:4300:1CF0:928B:61C3:40AC:EE08 (talk) 00:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
