Hello there, a proposal regarding pre-adminship review has been raised at Village pump by Anna Frodesiak. Your comments here is very much appreciated. Many thanks. Jim Carter through MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 06:47, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi.
We have several IPs engaged in censorship in Windows 8 editions, possibly the same person. I gave an explanation in my original revert. ("Out of context and wrong. As explained later on, Windows RT can sideload apps too.") But apparently, this guy gets a kick out of content removal without edit summary.
Should I request page protection?
Best regards,

at Talk:Frank Calvert. [1]. This editor hasn't changed since well before you warned him [2] some time ago. I'd block myself but I interact with Drmies quite a bit, maybe it wouldn't be appropriate for me to block? Dougweller ( talk) 08:54, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. I'd like to comment on these two things on the Autoloader page.
1) I don't agree with the statement that modern autoloaders bear the closest similarity to those fitted on aircraft. A number of modern vehicles use autoloaders. If you want to add an Air section after the Naval section and talk about aircraft that have autoloaders, I would be fine with that, but take out that existing statement. I'm also concerned that you may be confusing autoloaders with autocannons. The two are not the same.
2) The reason I think the sentence clarifying that autoloaders are not semi-automatic firearms is important is because I run into people who don't understand that the autoloader is not a part of the gun itself. They think of semi-automatic or automatic firearms. In every conversation, I have to clarify with them that an autoloader is a physical device, not a term for a self-loading weapon. Having that sentence in there has avoided a lot of unnecessary arguments. Having that statement also helps clarify the difference between autoloaders and autocannons.

Any thoughts on Template talk:Language with name#Suggestion: An optional literal translation? Yaris678 ( talk) 16:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up the lead and other stuff in the Wonder Boy in Monster Land article. I haven't touched the article in several years, but I put most of the stuff of what's in there right now. That said, maybe I did try to put too much unnecessary stuff in there :) -- MuZemike 14:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Hey,
I've been trying to import the Template:OpenTextBookOfMedicine to meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Medical_Translation_Header , but I'm running into problems. I saw you had written part of the Template:Tab, so I was wondering if you could understand what has been going wrong? Best -- CFCF 🍌 ( email) 11:11, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

As I'm working on something international I think it best to give you something suitably exotic (I hope you're not too tired of it) for your help on the meta-templates. It's a jungle out there with all the templates. -- CFCF 🍌 ( email) 07:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC) |
Hi Chris. We interacted yesterday, and on taking another look today i'm mortified to discover i misspelled your name. I am little more than a gnome, but as such pride myself on grammatical and typographical accuracy; to mis-type is bad enough, but to do so in the name of someone i'm talking to/about...well, i have no words. I apologise for my error. Cheers, Lindsay Hello 12:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Chris
I firmly believe that XFD should a genuine discussion rather than a series of write-only statements, but productive discussion needs a modicum of civility and AGF. At Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 July 6#Template:Distinguish, you are not doing so well on those two points of conduct:
I notice that the comments I have linked were all made within a few minutes of each other, so maybe that was a bit of an outburst at a particular point of stress. But it would be really helpful if you could strike those comments.
As the the discussion continues, please can you tone down the rhetoric, and make your case in a less combative style?
Thanks. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Thumperward. Is there a standard-width for sidebars? E.G. 18em? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:01, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi.
If you will excuse me, with the intention of (hopefully) making your life a lot easier, I'd like to offer you a piece of unsolicited advice about Special:Diff/617475341#Linux kernel edit: He always does that. This is not his first time and won't be the last. Invoking a talk page discussion and inviting five random experienced editors in computing rapidly yields unanimous consensus in your favor.

Hello, Thumperward. Would you consider moving Long Island Railroad Massacre to Long Island Rail Road massacre? First, Long Island Rail Road is stylized as such; and second, I don't see a reason for article title capitalization regarding this event. I wanted to ask you about the page move directly rather than go to WP:RM because these seem to be minor changes and I wanted to hear your thoughts about them first. Thanks.

I just noticed y'all recently changed Template:Infobox comedian from its normal blue state, to dark grey, and then blank. Can you please change it back to its usual blue state because when I saw it grey on Carl Reiner's article, I thought he died or something. So please change it back. -- 70.190.229.44 ( talk) 11:18, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
any thoughts on template:aside? when I first saw it, I thought it was for A-side, perhaps showing my age :) Frietjes ( talk) 15:15, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of permaculture projects is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of permaculture projects until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Velella Velella Talk 17:53, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Is it necessary to lose the RTCA color scheme of the {{ RTCA standard}} Infobox? I understand a reason to homogenize the Wikipedia appearance; but the coloration of organization publications, such as RTCA's provide natural visual cues. Is there a Template for Standards; that is, an Infobox vehicle that provides a Wikipedia branded appearance consistent to all articles on standards within which the recognized themes of the organization may be reflected, say a place to include a logo like {{ Infobox non-profit}}?

Hi Thumperward! I am Cw585, a student in course called INFO 3460: Crowds, Communities, and Technology. A huge component of our course was to contribute some valuable edits to a Wikipedia article. We decided to edit 3D printing, and we noticed that you had contributed some edits to the page in the past. We were wondering if you could take a look at the edits we have made (we have described our edits in this section of 3D printing's talk page). We would really appreciate any form of feedback! -- Cw585 ( talk) 17:14, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
given that template:cite isbn and template:cite doi are now both deprecated, I think it may be time to revisit the deletion of this template, which is basically a 'cite isbn', but less transparent. Frietjes ( talk) 17:56, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi.
{{ Ctr}} is nominated for deletion and unfortunately, I noticed late. (The TfD started on 29 October.) You see, this template has the potential to join the family of table template to help create simpler tables but this alternative to deletion is rather unexplored. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 October 29 § Template:Ctr where my proposal can be discussed.

Hello! Any chances, please, for you to have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software § Date format in release history sections of Linux articles and possibly comment there by providing your point of view? The whole thing is pretty much poorly discussed with only a few editors actually discussing it, while it seems to be affecting more than a few articles (and the date format seems to be extending beyond the tables into references, please see history of the Linux distribution article). Any contributions to the discussion would be highly appreciated! — Dsimic ( talk | contribs) 02:45, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
I haven't been here for a while and thought I'd check things out, especially this little gem. Having created it with the best of intentions, I'm thrilled others have found it useful (over 1000 transclusions). However, I particularly want to say thank you for keeping an eye on it and making it work better than I could have achieved. Regards, Claret Ash 08:06, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Hey Chris,
Could you please do me a favor and do a history merge between BK Chicken Fries and Coq Roq? These two articles were originally separate and I merged the two together because the latter is just a part of the former. -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 09:41, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi Thumper,
Looking at you picture and profile you may be just the guy to help.
I've raised a question at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 132#An "Allegiance to" parameter in Template:Infobox war faction. Is there any chance you can look into this?
