Hi! :-) To explain the move: we use the article talk page for discussing the writing of the article, and avoid creating the comments page until after publication. --Pi zero (talk) 17:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

I notice one of the supposed-"lint" things your edits address is use of. Which is the standard means in handwritten html all over the internet, and always has been, to say "put a paragraph break here". Idk what would do the same thing without triggering this "lint" test, but removing all "unmatched" &lt;p&gt; tags would explicitly screw gobs of text spread all over the wiki (most commonly on talk pages). --Pi zero (talk) 01:30, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The way to fix it is to close &lt;p&gt; with &lt;/p&gt; so it doesn't appear in Special:LintErrors. But fixing it would require checking the pages the template is transcluded on so as to know where to close it. --Minorax (talk) 08:25, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The logistical difficulty is that the meaning of &lt;p&gt;[...]&lt;/p&gt; is fundamentally different from the de fact sense of singleton &lt;p&gt;, in that the singleton means "put a paragraph break here", whereas the matched pair means "treat all the stuff between these two points as a paragraph". So the matched pair isn't an alternative way to do the same thing, it's a way to do something quite different with only a slight resemblance. --Pi zero (talk) 12:11, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So in simpler terms, one template opens the &lt;p&gt; while another closes it. I'll keep that out of the stuff I'm going to fix and might revisit this again when I'm done with the others. --Minorax (talk) 06:27, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Documentary article
Thanks for your edits to that article here. Although it still doesn't quite bring it up to snuff (and it is getting stale quite rapidly by now), it was nice to see someone jump in there trying to help. --Bddpaux (talk) 17:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
