Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!

What was the reason for reverting my edit?
Regarding your revert of my recent edit for the article Platform as a Service.
Would you care to explain why?
The correct spelling of the phrase "Platform as a Service" (abbreviated as PaaS) is exactly like this, because when it comes to abbreviations, it is common to capitalize letters from the words that make up the phrase being abbreviated.
Thus your revert was basically inappropriate. But it would be interesting to hear your motivation. informatik01 (talk) 02:07, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Wikipedia's manual of style directs us to use sentence case, see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style. The style you are describing is commonly used - by other style guidelines, not this site's. MrOllie (talk) 02:37, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Well, this is a really sad choice of styling. Wikipedia is primarily an educational resource, and as such, it should provide correct terminology that is common in relevant fields of study and industries. Here is a good (and correct) example of the use and spelling of professional terminology by Amazon AWS: 👉 Types of Cloud Computing.
- It is really strange that Wikipedia's internal spelling guidelines seem to conflict with established professional terminology. informatik01 (talk) 03:09, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- If you want to change the style guidelines, you can submit a proposal about that, but my talk page isn't the venue. Even if I wanted to change it I wouldn't have the authority. MrOllie (talk) 03:31, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Response to SF Zoo reverted edits
I wanted to start this off by thanking you for your contributions to the Wikipedia community. I've reviewed some of your work.
Before adding additional content to the San Francisco Zoo Wikipedia page, I wanted to respectfully address your decision to revert my previous edits. As someone who grew up in the Bay Area, has created and maintained multiple Wikipedia articles (under an academic account), and has formal training in research ethics and writing for public knowledge platforms (one specifically being Wikipedia), I approached my contribution with care and neutrality.
I understand your concerns, but I disagree with the characterization of my addition as promotional. The section was fact-based, neutrally written, and grounded in verifiable sources, including media coverage and official recognitions from city leadership. Highlighting the professional background and leadership impact of the Zoo's Executive Director is relevant, particularly given the documented influence of that role on the institution’s direction.
Given that the Wikipedia article includes detailed criticisms of the Director, it seems reasonable—and necessary for balance—to also include sourced information about her accomplishments. Omitting such context may unintentionally skew the narrative which is currently what is happening. My intention is not to advocate, but to ensure the article reflects a more complete and fair representation of leadership at the Zoo. Do you not agree?
I'm happy to collaborate further to find a version that aligns with Wikipedia standards while maintaining informational integrity.

- It was indeed blatantly promotional. Are you an employee of the Zoo or otherwise associated with it? MrOllie (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you've drawn all this undue attention from ip addresses today, but you must be doing something right. Such vandals are afraid/unable to more persuasively criticize your good faith actions on their merits. Stay well, friend. A little hummus, a little baba, some pepper sauce...
