On 11 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Statue of Edward Snowden, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a bust of Edward Snowden was erected next to a New York City monument to American Revolutionary War prisoners? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Statue of Edward Snowden. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

In the future, I’d appreciate looking a little deeper into good faith edits before dismissing them as vandalism. —Wiki Wikardo 04:50, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki Wikardo: Alright, sorry. There's been so many vandalistic edits on that page the last few days or so that I might have been to quick with that assumption. However do you have any sources for your edit? For instance the wiki article of Louis Pasteur says "the sculpture was designed by Harriet G. Moore and cast in 1984 by Artworks Foundry" and nothing about the "Work Projects Administration" (and neither does Google).

--Fixuture (talk) 15:36, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That passage is, clearly, referring to a different sculpture—how could “the Waldos” have met there in 1971 if it was not cast until 1984? The page on Commons lists the sculptor as noted Bay Area artist Beniamino Bufano (one of whose most famous pieces may be the sculpture of Sun Yat-Sen in Chinatown, but likely better known within Marin is the bear in front of Ross city hall) and googling his name along with `wpa' produces several relevent results, including pages about the work itself, an interview with the artist in which he states, “I made … the statue of Pasteur, which is on your side of the Bay at San Rafael,” and a manifesto that reads, in part, “Our art must become as democratic as science and the children in the playgrounds of our cities. That is why I have sculptured Pasteur for one of our high schools…” —Wiki Wikardo 17:32, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki Wikardo: Well again sorry for the mistake. However it would be nice if you added a reference to it when readding it, like this one: http://www.newdealartregistry.org/map/LouisPasteur/SanRafaelHighSchool/SanRafael/CA/, and not removed the "at San Rafael High School" part. --Fixuture (talk) 20:31, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It’s alright. I can imagine that there’s a severe uptick in unconstructive contributions around this time of the month. But it bothers me that many established editors and admins are very quick to revert whatever they don’t immediately recognize or understand. Having good-faith edits by longtime users tagged “vandalism” feels especially galling.

The reason I removed the reference to San Rafael High is that I wanted to include the information about artist and historical context of the piece, but with all that it then got unwieldy for a short blurb, and the statue’s particular location didn’t seem relevant to the image caption outside of some sort of school boosterism, being as it’s already mentioned in the article.

Take care. —Wiki Wikardo 22:30, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki Wikardo: So I just revisited this edit-conflict and I'm really not sure why you wrote "WPA-sponsored" as the statue is certainly not. Anyways I added sourced info on it being created by Benny Bufano. --Fixuture (talk) 15:02, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you proposed this merge. There are a couple additional steps in the process of proposing a merge. One is the add Template:Mergefrom to the target article. The other is to create a talk page thread along the lines of "Merger proposal" on the talk page for the target where discussion can take place. — Rhododendrites \\ 15:13, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me. I also added the expert-needed template (even though it inappropiately automatically links to the subject's WikiProjects [it's a subject that doesn't need an expert in the broad domain of for example the Technology Wikiproject - but specifically Darknets etc.]). There are already two sections on the talk page for the discussion of each so I linked those. --Fixuture (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all of the recent thank-you's for edits, even if it seems like people are just writing over them :P But hey, that's the spirit of the site!

Myconix (talk) 09:08, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was inserted into the article when there was dispute over whether they had remarried or not. If you look, there is no source to say they did in fact remarried, this is because the fact that they were invited to the White House dinner together was used as evidence that they were remarried. Now that we know they obviously were remarried, the White House point is, intact, irrelevant. wolf (talk) 20:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC) (Heuh0)[reply]

@Heuh0: Well I see your point now. However the White House dinner part should definitely stay in the article...if anything the context of that sentence needs to be changed instead of having it removed. However one could read that part of the section as within the context of the marriage as well as simply a chronologically ordered description of his personal life. But maybe there needs to be a whole new section in that article (for things like that) when thinking about it...something like "Reception" (maybe I should post an entry on the talk page for that; the "Awards and recognition" section could be a subsection of it). --Fixuture (talk) 20:49, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fixuture,

To explain this (and my subsequent reverting and undoing my own revert), ECW28 (talk · contribs) main purpose on Wikipedia has been adding 'open world' to articles and categories (scroll down their contributions to see what I mean). See for instance Bloodborne, Metro 2033 and Tomb Raider. I've told them several times that instead of adding their own opinion, they'll need to back that up with a valid source. When I noticed they were up to it again, I naturally assumed it was either incorrect and/or unsourced. But unlike the other articles, No Man's Sky actually *is* considered an open world game. Sorry for the reverting, and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 13:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Soetermans: No problem, thanks for the explanation. --Fixut͉͇̞͖͉̼̭͉͓͑̈̉́͑ȗ̹̲ͨͮ̂̂̄ṙ̫̥͚͚̜͙͍̰́̈́ė̺̩̞̗̓̉ͧͩ̿ͤ̎̆ (talk) 15:24, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So your talk page signature obscures the text above and below, making it hard for to read. Do you intend this? Can you change it so it doesn't do that? It's kind of annoying. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:56, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I intended this. Not sure if I change it sometime...I find it easily readable - but I'm going to test it on some other browsers and settings later. For me that upper and lower glitch stuff disappears after hovering over it once (and it also hides one or two chars at most) so I'm not sure if changing it is really needed...(maybe I'll trim it a bit) --Fixut͉͇̞͖͉̼̭͉͓͑̈̉́͑ȗ̹̲ͨͮ̂̂̄ṙ̫̥͚͚̜͙͍̰́̈́ė̺̩̞̗̓̉ͧͩ̿ͤ̎̆ (talk) 22:04, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are guidelines on this: WP:SIGPROB. This extra distraction is isn't necessary for the purpose of identifying the user, so it really needs to go. To me it's a question of why we are here, to build an encyclopaedia. Not see who can make the most unusual sig. Also, on Chrome and Safari on iOS, there's no way to mouse over to get the junk out of the way. Not that I really want to have to mouse over a page in order to read what should be displayed plainly without having to do anything special. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:21, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well I went long time without doing anything to my sig...then I saw more and more people doing fancy stuff with it and couldn't see what might speak against changing it...I really had no problems of reading the text even if the sig flows over into the text. I change it however when people mistake it as a sign of misdedication / unseriousness about editing/building Wikipedia. --Fixuture (talk) 22:37, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I would look over the archives at Talk:List of common misconceptions so you can review the discussions that took place to agree on the list criteria. Once you understand why they did it that way, you might be better able to suggest changing it. I don't think it will be easy to change many minds on that, but maybe you will be able to see something others missed in the original discussions. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I came to complain as well, but I see you already came to your senses :) —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:36, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be that you are edit warring on the Peter Joseph article. As mostly a single purpose account editor who's very first edit on Wikipedia is Zeitgeist Joseph related, keep particular care not to exert a pov about the material. An experienced editor recently reverted your edits and it is a good idea to have a listen to what they said instead of reinserting the information.

Hi Fixuture,

I'm REH7 and I recently created a page called Access Economy. You changed my references. I was using list-defined references, which is a recommended way to do them because it's easier to read the article in edit mode. You can find documentation of it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes#WP:LDR. The way I created my references was working fine, I think, and it's much tidier.

Please let me know if you know something I don't... otherwise I'd like to undo your change.

Thanks, REH7 (talk) 01:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@REH7: Well the references were screwed up even if you're using the list-defined references. You can undo it of course (no need to ask btw; just leave an explanation in the edit-description) but then please fix that afterwards. --Fixuture (talk) 17:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The categories are getting quite confusing now. What is the difference between memory erasure and alteration in fiction and a Mindwipe? Is a mindwipe the official fictional term? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mindwipe just stands for memory erasure and doesn't include any other memory-alterations. "Mindwipe" is the science fiction term for (deliberate) memory erasure...and hence it is relevant to Category:Memory erasure and alteration in fiction. --Fixuture (talk) 19:59, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fair enough. I've redirected the "Memory erasure in science fiction" term and categories to Mindwipe as shown in my recent edits. Is it planned to be have an annotated list? How will this fit in with amnesia in fiction? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.

Is it planned to be have an annotated list?

Well I haven't planned making a list, but you could set one up if you want to. Lists' advantage over categories is that they allow for some more detailed info for its entries, that they also allow for entries which don't yet have wiki-articles and that they can be sorted by various criteria if they're tables (e.g. by year of the novel/film).

Would be nice if you left a note here if you set it up.

How will this fit in with amnesia in fiction?

Category:Amnesia in fiction is just a see-also in that category as amnesia is not human/technical deliberate manipulation of a person's memory but a natural disease. Entries in it are not in the scope of Category:Memory erasure and alteration in fiction aside if it includes someone intentionally causing amnesia in someone else by whatever means. Category:Amnesia in fiction is neither a sub nor a superordinate category to Category:Memory erasure and alteration in fiction...there could be a category "Category:Memory in fiction" which has both categories in it. Not sure if it's a good idea to create it though - but if you can think of any article being in the scope of that category but not the two other ones please go ahead and create it...

--Fixuture (talk) 20:41, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't want to have to create a comprehensive list, as I've had to with Body swap appearances in media since the category is good enough for that. The most prominent examples should be in the Mindwipe article, and can be combined into the prose where it makes sense. Some of the entries are already there, just need the sources to back it up. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the article. It still needs more references in the early defining paragraphs, and some links to some science fiction encyclopedias or books that discuss the procedure as used in fiction. I could not find the term in the general dictionaries like Webster's. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:29, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For years the gallery section of the National personification page looked terrible, with very big gaps between the pictures. it became worse and worse the more pictures were added. It was really an eye-sore, every time I looked at the page. I thought I found a simple solution which worked and made it look perfectly OK. You have promptly reversed what I did and restored the VERY bad old look. Is there a better solution than what I tried? If there is such a solution and you know it - fine, please implement it.

Thanks for your attempt of fixing this problem. Your edit didn't fix it on my side though – actually it made it look slightly worse (if you'd like to have a screenshot I could send you one).

I don't know how it can be fixed. I made a few attempts with the width and height parameters and actually also tried splitting it up into multiple smaller galleries but they didn't work out.

There's one more thing one could try though which is m

Well actually I just found a way that makes it look ok: splitted it up into multiple galleries – just 4 images each so that it should look ok on most smaller monitors / browser-windows – and set the alignment to center.

Hi Fixuture

Although it seems a little circular I nonetheless want to thank you for your note of appreciation on my edit (wayback machine). Feedback here is so often of the negative variety, reversions and the like. It was appreciated and I'd like you to know that!

All the best here, and everywhere.

Dear Fellow Wikipedians,

I JethroBT (WMF) suggested that I consult with fellow Wikipedians to get feedback and help to improve my idea about "As an unparalleled way to raise awareness of the Wikimedia projects, I propose to create a tremendous media opportunity presented by launching Wikipedia via space travel."

Please see the idea at meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikipedia_likes_Galactic_Exploration_for_Posterity_2015. Please post your suggestions on the talk page and please feel free to edit the idea and join the project.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I appreciate it.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hey there, Fixuture. I noticed that you added a couple of pages relating to Percy Jackson into the category Greek gods in fiction. Because they're already in Category:Greco-Roman mythology in popular culture and also suffering from a serious case of overcategorization, I am going to add the whole lot of them to your category, as a subcategory. This means "Greek gods in fiction" won't appear on these pages (solving the overcategorization issue), but they will ultimately remain in that parent category. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Happy editing! -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 23:44, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@2ReinreB2: Alright, thank you! I'd also think that this would probably be the better choice...however I haven't read/watched much of the series and afaik not all of them issue or portray Greek gods (but all of them Greco-Roman mythology) which is why I just added the few ones I was sure of to feature/issue Greek gods. --Fixuture (talk) 23:51, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Harej:

we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. [...] * Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)

Those 2 basic ideas for WikiProjects are great, for (1) that could be the tasks I described over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_X/Archive_2#Improving_WikiProject_participation. For (2) I very much agree that this would be useful: most things are already possible but are hidden and obstructed by them being extra bots, page, templates and whatnot - all of that should be taken together and set up for all WikiProjects in the always same, standardized manner (and for the WikiProjects that get newly created). It needs one WikiProject-control-dashboard in which all those many things can be configured.

One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.

Great - that's badly needed.

Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

Could it be made possible that all articles and categories added there get the banner added automatically? For instance for WikiProject Science Fiction I'd like to add the banner to all articles of Category:Science fiction. Actually it would probably best to have all articles missing the banner in a specified category (and their subcategories!; this is the catch) listed somewhere so that they can be checked before the banner gets added automatically - many pages are miscategorized or are exceptions etc. so I'd really suggest it to be semi-automatically.

but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles

You might be interested in this relevant suggestion (pls see my comment there): m:2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Editing#Real_time_group_editing

Lastly you might also be interested in my suggestion on the Community Wishlist here: m:2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/WikiProjects#Suggestions_for_WikiProjects_to_join. (I listed almost all my proposals concerning WikiProjects in the "Improving WikiProject participation" section I linked further up.)

Not sure if I should move my comment here to some other talk page or so. Anyways I hope this keeps on going, wishing you the best,

The project is not dead. Thank you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:01, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: I know that. Actually I'm pretty active in it myself. I removed the project because we first need to decide how to proceed with science fiction novels. As of right now common practice is to set the Science fiction task force on the novels project and not the WP:SF banner. --Fixuture (talk) 21:05, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The project covers anything science fiction-related. That means there will be some overlap between the project and the novels project. That's not a problem. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:06, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Let's take this discussion to WikiProject science fiction. It's just your opinion that it's supposed to overlap like that. I think it would be more useful if the novels-task-force and the WikiProject are separated because by that you can get more narrowed down statistics and various options that aren't available when both are merged. I've been going through like a thousand(s?) sci-fi novel articles and just maybe 30 or so also have the SF banner set (even though they don't have an adaption of another media-type covered in the article). So as of right now it makes more sense to remove the SF banner off the few articles which have both set.

P.S.: maybe at some point it's possible to kind of dynamically combine task-forces of other WikiProjects (or even other WikiProjects in their entirety) with WikiProjects without having to set a banner on each article. --Fixuture (talk) 21:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, task forces can be combined. WP:JAPAN has several like that. Both banners can still be on the talk page, though, as it helps people find the projects. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Good point about it helping people to find WikiProjects. However I think a better solution for that would be to modify the task-force text (e.g. to: This article is supported by the Science fiction task force (part of WikiProject Science Fiction).) Combined in which way? Do you have any info on that (a page maybe)? --Fixuture (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Task forces that are hosted by one of the projects, but fall under the purview of both: Japanese baseball, Japanese cinema, CJKV, Districts and municipalities, Japanese military history, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Japanese are all that way. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: And how are these dynamically combined? Or are they just linked to from each other's page? --Fixuture (talk) 22:21, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This month:

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Polandball. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion.--Otterathome (talk) 15:32, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This month:

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=, category=, or wikiproject=, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

• The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
• The WikiCite meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was requested by the Wikipedia Library back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

Until next time,

The editor I asked worked on the 2016 Turøy helicopter crash and he is also familiar with the list. So they are a good selection. Your entry is too wordy per list guidelines for sure.

Hello Fixture, I was noticing that you're showing an interest in webcomics. I was wondering if you might want to have a look at the (mostly inactive) webcomics WikiProject - I have been rather busy with school lately, but I'm still trying to raise some interest in the field. Any comment is appreciated, or you could simply follow the page ^_^ Besides that, I noticed you added the "Internet Culture" WikiProject template to the some webcomics-related talkpages (like here), but you don't always add quality and importance parameters (in the example given, I added "list" and "low"; class rating across templates of different projects should generally be the same).

There are two problems with your constant readding of 77 Brigade to this list. Most importantly, there are no reliable references saying that the brigade, or, more correctly, what used to be 15 Psychological Operations Group within it, are doing false-identity operations - the kind of false-flag stuff the article implies its doing. 15 POG and other psyops units try to do influence operations, including with FAcebook etc, but these units usually do 'white' overt things, being open about their identities. Pretending they are someone else is *not referenced*!! There are no references to say they are doing sockpuppet stuff!! So stop adding '77 Brigade' to the list. By all means find a reference that 15 POG or whateven the column number now is is doing deceptive, sockpuppet operations if you can, but (a) so far there is no reference for this, (b) the brigade does a large number of things, only one of which is psychological operations. Just trying to use that single once-over-lightly newspaper story doesn't give the full picture - one cannot assume sockpuppetry from that story. Should note that I believe GCHQ does this kind of thing, but that's not a reason to keep readding the whole of 77 Brigade to this list. Hope this clarifies the situation.
