Oh no, I am also seeing that you are automatically replacing the character 一—a very common character, meaning 'one'—with the sequence –. I strongly suggest you go back through your edit history and fix instances where you did this.

@Srich32977 why haven't you acknowledged this yet? I have to revert most of the edits you make to China-related articles. It is absurd.

@Srich32977, have you seen this thread? I know I have come to you with several different issues, but you are still doing this and I am not sure whether you even know it is an issue or not.

Hey—would you consider removing redundant DOIs while copyediting also? When DOIs begin with 10.2307, they are totally redundant with JSTOR and just indicate the same destination.

Thanks so very much for the DOI hint. At present I'm going to continue my JSTOR hunt. (Only 6,000 more to go!) Adding DOIs to my prey is too much right now. But I greatly appreciate that you've noticed I'm on the prowl! – S.

I just figure it's something that's easy to do if you notice it while otherwise doing JSTOR cleanup. And thank you, ofc Remsense ‥ 论 04:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241122041500","author":"Remsense","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Remsense-20241122041500-Srich32977-20241122041400","replies":["c-David_Eppstein-20241217073400-Remsense-20241122041500"]}}-->

@Remsense: @Jacobolus: it is untrue that all dois that begin with 10.2307 resolve to JSTOR. For example, [1] currently resolves for me to a landing page on Cambridge University Press, [2], and [3] resolves to another CUP page, [4]. [5] resolves to Oxford University Press, [6]. So those dois are not redundant and should not be removed: some readers may have CUP or OUP access and not have JSTOR access, and would be able to read the doi but not the JSTOR link.

For this reason, every removal of a 10.2307 doi needs to be checked to test that it resolves to JSTOR. But because this is something that could easily change at a future date, causing existing 10.2307 dois to resolve elsewhere even if they currently resolve to JSTOR, I would prefer that they not be removed at all. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:34, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241217073400","author":"David Eppstein","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-David_Eppstein-20241217073400-Remsense-20241122041500","replies":["c-Jacobolus-20241217092800-David_Eppstein-20241217073400"]}}-->

I don't think it's a good idea to clutter up every citation that has a JSTOR link with a redundant DOI which resolves to the same link. This causes a lot of clutter and distraction for minimal benefit, if any, to readers. If people prefer doi:xyz to jstor:xyz in the template I don't have any particular preference, but in cases where they resolve to the same place we should just pick one of them to include. If there is a DOI for some paper which resolves to the publisher's website, we should use that one alongside a JSTOR link, so that readers clicking the two links will be directed to two different places. –jacobolus (t) 09:28, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241217092800","author":"Jacobolus","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Jacobolus-20241217092800-David_Eppstein-20241217073400","replies":["c-Remsense-20241217212200-Jacobolus-20241217092800"]}}-->

Per this VPP RFC from last year, do not make any changes to ISBN formatting. Do not enforce any personal preference. Do not even enforce uniformity within a specific article. Please adjust your tool options accordingly.

"Do not even enforce uniformity within a specific article." This is a vague command! And not in keeping with good copy editing. It says "do not seek consistency" -- one of the principal goals of good copy editing. And you've proven that you'll tag an editor with one command (ISBN's), and then block the editor based on the complaints of one or two other editors because they think non-uniformity is acceptable. – S.

I'm stating what the consensus-close of an RFC appeared to be. It's an expectation that editors follow consensus, even if they don't like it for valid reasons. You're welcome to question whether the the comments were evaluated correctly in the previous discussion and/or to start a new discussion to see if the consensus still holds.

I had to revert your changes to Pure Land Buddhism because you replaced multiple instances of ʻOkina with an apostrophe. They are not the same. ʻOkina is a letter of the Hawaiian alphabet which represents a glottal stop and is not a curly quote or interchangable with an apostrophe. Whatever automated tool you used seems ignorant of that fact, which mean you will need to make whatever changes you feel are necessary by hand or correct the errors caused by the automated tool.
