ASDFGH and I have expressed the concern at template talk that your edit to the template italicising native names is a poor idea because the italicisation of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is discouraged per each language's manual of style. Could you remove the italicisation? Thanks much GotR Talk 21:02, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. I received a message from Wikipedia that my recent edit was reverted due to, what I'll phrase as, "suspicious" and possibly vandalistic. I'm fairly new to editing on here and appreciate the automated(?) features. Is this a strike against me? If you look at what I edited, what part was out of specs? For future reference, I would like some constructive feedback on that or any other of my edits. I'm very particular and objective when I edit. Thank you for your time. rttavi 07:08, 31 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rttavi ( talk • contribs)
I made a request at Template talk:Multiple issues for a change but no one has commented on it. Could you tell me what you think of it? RJFJR ( talk) 16:29, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
I suppose I could agree to that FWIW although, as a serial AWB user, I'd really need more details to be able to work out how much hassle to me it would be. Incidentally, I'm just preparing a response on WP:AN to review the situation and I'm hoping we can keep discussion centralised there.

I noticed that SmackBot is currently running with an extremely small delay when dating templates, less than 5 minutes [1] [2] etc. If that is still in violation of the original unblock terms you agreed to, it may be necessary to block the bot again. I believe that the operator claimed that the problem had been fixed in order to convince someone else to unblock the bot. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 20:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you but would you mind taking another look at this template. I left a message about the problem on the templates talk page.

Hi, I'm trying to practice wiki markup by making a copy of Template:Infobox planet at User:Article editor/sandbox.

Hi
Can you please refrain from putting the GOCE banner in the bannershell. A GOCE banner does not show that the "article is of interest" to GOCE - it is a note, similar to "peer reviewed" that tells editors information.
There have been a couple of previous discussions on this matter, though I cannot point you to them right now.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 02:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Just found your November 2010 comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/2011#Can an article be created for Technical Stopover?. While doing some editing to airport articles, I had a similar thought. I found an "official" definition of the term at the ICAO's website and created " technical stop" in Wiktionary. I've linked to it from aviation-related articles in Wikipedia containing "technical stop" and "technical landing". The term also seems to refer to similar stops made by passenger trains, but I can't find any reliable citations for that usage. Hope this helped. -- Chaswmsday ( talk) 08:59, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello! I hope all has been well since I entered a lengthy period of semi-hibernation. I'm starting to bestir myself again, and what to my wondering eye should appear, but--nothing so mirthful as a sleigh or reindeer, but yet another eruption of the seemingly endless debate over infoboxes. See the discussion about Marian Anderson here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music and the talk page here Samuel Barber.
Painful as doing so doubtless will be, please cast your mind back a couple of years to when we both participated in a long, contentious discussion of infoboxes and classical composers at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Composers/Infoboxes_RfC. I took the conclusion to be endorsement of a new template for classical composers, infobox classical composer, which I believe was the fruit of your work. When I return to the archived discussion and click the new template's link, however, it directs me to the much-maligned general Template:Infobox person. What happened? Did the classical composer box end up going down in flames in some subsequent proceding that eluded me? I'd love to direct the attention of those engaged in the Barber debate, at least, to it as a useful alternative that might avoid yet another fruitless round of jousting that detracts from creation of useful content.

Is there any way we can either a.) remove all the instances of the |parking= field, or b.) create a maintenance category for articles still using it? Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 21:20, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
I noticed you have eliminated such instances of the template on articles that were added before the wide mandatory-reason discussion.
I went looking in category:articles needing cleanup and could not find the articles that you suppressed. This is such a huge change and within the purview of a bot. You cannot suppress the 10k+ instances through coding the template. I see 3 editors including yourself who had reached this mandate to change the template so this be implemented. I request that you remove the suppression; instead, I suggest removing the instances before the suppression-date, or going through the articles' history and sending out notifications for those who tagged the articles for cleanup.

I just noticed you add a category parameter to the WikiProject template. What does that do? I think I need to do this to the other templates as well. I don't think a lot of them have it. Kumioko ( talk) 14:21, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
|category=
parameter, which is sometimes documented like this:|category=no
if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.|category=no
- I amended it because parameter names are case-sensitive, and |Category=no
wasn't recognised. --

Ah yes, very sorry to keep you hanging Martin. I was almost feeling like I may have been doing a lot of talking on that thread, without any doing. I was perfectly aware that the pros were working very hard on that template behind the scenes, and didn't want to get in the way with a lot of noise. I had actually expected to see a bit more late response by now from other earlier participants or lurkers.

I appreciate the work you're doing in cleaning up the syntax of the maintenance templates, but please be careful that you're not losing other useful edits at the same time. For example, in these edits you effectively undid my edit a few days earlier that stopped the template from populating a category that has been deleted since 2009.

Sorry I did not see that you had moved that to the talk page. edit conflicts are not your friends. I got an edit conflict, but my post was added to the page anyway without me submitting, and the edit conflict showed things removed. Very confusing.
Anyway, I trust you to do as you wish regarding that.
I merely strongly oppose changing the content of the user-right package mid discussion/polling. If this needs to be closed and a new proposal started, I can accept that, but to remove parts would seem to me to be disruptive of the consensus process.
I have personally been VERY careful regarding that when editing the proposal. Only adding clarifications and formatting. The user-right package contents have not changed since the first edit.
As always, I welcome your thoughts on this. - jc37 20:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Greetings to you and happy Tuesday. I had a question that I think I already know the answer too but wanted to ask anyway just in case I was wrong (it happens occassionally :-)). A couple of folks have suggested that the importances for supported projects within Template:WikiProject United States should be more prominant. Is it possible to apply the appropriate color to these importances as well as to that for the WPUS project? For example if you look at Talk:Rhode Island you can see that the importance for US is High but its Top for Rhode Island and its seems reasonable that the color be present. What do you think? Thanks in advance for the help. Kumioko ( talk) 14:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, greetings. Sorry to bother you, I haven't yet, and probably later won't either, have time to go into this in detail, but would you mind if I could ask you can rack your brain back to a year ago; does this ring a bell? As far as I can see a RM for this town failed 7 August 2011 and then moved anyway. As you tried to check the move of this article I'm wondering if you can remember back to any reason why it was still moved, despite the RM? (I myself am not convinced of the value of diacritics for Vietnamese place names, I'm just trying to get a handle on how exactly the Vietnam article titles almost all ended up having the accents and tones removed). If it doesn't ring any bells, no worries. In ictu oculi ( talk) 17:34, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, seeing as you made a revert on this you probably have the right to be updated: back in 21 July 2011 you reverted this move, 7 days after your revert it was put forward for RM, the RM to move failed and was closed by admin User:Arbitrarily0 (talk) 02:48, 7 August 2011 (UTC) then on 27 August 2011 the Talk link to failed RM was deleted "(rm notice of close discussion)", and on 5 October 2011 the page moved anyway, and the redirect edited prevented any further revert. I have put in a RM to restore the conclusion of the original RM at Talk:Ca Mau, and I note that "Cf. My Tho or Da Nang" has just been used as a justification for another undiscussed move here. Given all of this it seems appropriate to inform you as the User who challenged the first attempt to move this. Cheers. In ictu oculi ( talk) 01:23, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I've unblocked him. The block was punitive: he has made no moves since this went to ANI on the 21st or since the RM at Talk:Ca Mau, where Obi Wan brought this up on the 24th. In addition, Gimme's note was exactly that – a note – and I doubt even Gimme expected a response. I have unblocked before consulting you about this because (a) these poor blocks are exactly how we lose valued contributors, and (b) you do not appear to be very active on Wikipedia (before today your last edit was the 20th).

Hi MSGJ, you seem to be the main editor of Template:Importance mask. I thought I'd ask for your input on the practicality of deprecating No-Importance. It's only used by a handful of projects and is used in an instance where NA-Importance would serve just as well. There's been discussion to deprecate at Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment#No-importance? which I think has shown a consensus to do so, but none of us are entirely sure what templates would need to be edited to ensure it is deprecated. Hopefully you can give us a few hints! Thanks, Hiding T 08:32, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Martin MSGJ, I noticed that you had noticed an editor war going on on this page, and agree with you that the person you have identified is posting biased material without regard for the updated facts. What in your opinion is the best way to sort this out? I dont want to add more chaos by adding in what I perceive as the correct information and references without supervision.

Hi Martin! I posted a request on
Template talk:Cleanup-university to have someone add a non-required |reason=
parameter to {{
cleanup-university}}, similar to the parameter on {{
cleanup}}, but haven't received any response. Based on all the experience you have working with the maintenance templates, is there any chance you'd be willing to look at this? Thanks!

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.-- Dom497 ( talk)15:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Martin; if you hadn't done this move, would Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images have failed to display the editnotice? It's something that I've been wondering about since I created a whole bunch of them in the last few weeks. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 16:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
{{#ifexist: Template:Editnotices/Page/$3
is exactly the same. Since I've never noticed it being displayed, I can't have moved any pages that had an editnotice. --
Redrose64 (
talk) 14:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Can you please take a moment to look at the recent page moves? User:Kauffner is moving tons of articles without any discussion. I tried to move it back to the original title, but cannot do so now because he spammed tags into every one. The articles should be moved back to the original titles, then he can make a request at requested moves, and there can be a discussion. He should not keep moving articles again when there is a disagreement. Jack Bufalo Head ( talk) 17:55, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
So, I disagree with this rationale :). Consistency is all well and good, but if the consistent format is inefficient or illogical, changes start by, well, starting. Do you agree/disagree with the actual change? How would you suggest I pursue this alteration? Ironholds ( talk) 14:24, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
The issue / fix change really helps focus the text of the box. I added another request at Template talk:Ambox. Would you mind taking a look at it Template_talk:Ambox#Multi-fix_edit here. Thanks. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 21:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

While I agree that the name is now a better fit with the category, I can't find where the docs (in the blue box) have gone, and there isn't an example of how to use the template: (add {{Japanese}}) or what it does (adds article to Category:Articles needing Japanese script or text). If I look at a before/after diff of your changes, I can see the script as it was, but I can no longer find the script in the current page. Also it looks very much as if the template still appears in some categories as Template:Japanese rather than its current name, suggesting that a double-redirect problem is the reason for not being able to find stuff.

Hi It has been a really long time since I worked on any pages. I recently came back to work on pages for Caron Wheeler and saw your note about moving Sheryl Crow page. I just wanted to say thank you, even if it is almost a year late.
