== Welcome ==

Hello there Dcljr, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to [[Wikipedia:wikipedians|stay]]. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]] or how to format them visit our [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|manual of style]]. If you have any other questions about the project then check out [[Wikipedia:Help]] or add a question to the [[wikipedia:Village pump|Village pump]]. BTW, nice work in the [[statistics]] section esp. [[outlier]]. Cheers! --[[user:maveric149|maveric149]]

== Format of Suggested [[Religion]] Outline: Thanks! ==

Thanks for your suggestion on the format of my draft outline in [[Talk:Religion#Discussion of Re-organization of Religion]].  I think I did what you suggested.  By the way, welcome to Wikipedia, the nerve center of the civilized world!  I see that Mav's welcome was back in 2002; so welcome again in 2004! --[[User:Rednblu|Rednblu]] 04:56, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

== Sexual slang ==

Isn't anal intercourse a form of sexual intercourse? [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 04:26, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
:yes that looks fine. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 04:48, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for the note. [[User:Hyacinth|Hyacinth]] 06:52, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

You're doing great work on the [[Sexual slang]] article.  Your reorganizations have made the article a great read and very worthy of the Wikipedia. -- [[User:Stevietheman|Stevietheman]] 14:03, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I made it a subtitle. I didn't want it to appear that I was disagreeing with "encyclopedization" or that you're edits weren't, so I gave it a new header. What I did was make it a subsection, feel free to change the format to your suggestion if you think that will be more clear. Thanks for the message and happy editing.

== External Links ==

Hi Dcjlr,

[[Wikipedia:Don%27t_use_external_links_where_we%27ll_want_Wikipedia_links|Don't use external links where we want Wikipedia links]]

The basic concept is that we want an in-line text link to point to another Wikipedia article, not an external article, the exception when we link with the [1] style, which shows it is a reference link. Cheers! [[User:Cecropia|Cecropia]] | [[User talk:Cecropia|Talk]] 21:26, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

== Moving (Renaming) articles ==

When you want to rename an article, please use the "move" tab at the top of your screen. Doing it that way ensures that the edit history remains with the article. When you cut and paste the entire article, the history stays with the old article name.

== [[list of publications in science]] ==

Hi dcljr,

I accept the changes you suggested.
It does look better.
Actually, the first format was a table, which was much worse.
It seems that I have a gift for choosing bad designs.
I won't have time to work on the lists in the near future, so feel free to make the changes.

Templates seem to be a good idea but I'm not familiar with them.
How can we use them?

Thanks,

== Clinton note ==

Thanks for the note on the Clinton article. I'll leave it to other editors to fix anything that seems inappropriate. [[User:Acsenray|Acsenray]] 20:07, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I don't know whether you noticed -- seems like someone did object mightily to my addition (as you predicted!). I did some rewriting to tone it down and requested comments. I've inserted the changes into the article, but no one has said anything yet. (There seems to be a firestorm over the quote section right now.) Anyway, I was wondering whether you might want to take a peek. [[User:Acsenray|Acsenray]] 17:37, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== [[List of albums]] ==

Hi. The albums haven't disappeared. They've just moved to subpages. For example, the ones starting with A are now at [[List of albums (A)]]. I don't see any reason to revert this.  [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 16:44, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

==Cross namespace links==

Not all of the [[Wikipedia:mirrors and forks|mirrors and forks]] of Wikipedia copy the other namespaces. If you link to the Wikipedia namespace from the main namespace using an internal link, this link will be broken on other sites. If you use the full URL, this won't be a problem.

== Pattern language ==

Hi there, I stumbled across the [[pattern language]] article you marked for attention, and it made puppy dog eyes at me until I took pity on it and became a member in order to give it some love. ;)  Anyway, I think it is now somewhat clearer, though I suspect some of the content should be moved to [[design pattern]].  I'd be interested in your thoughts.  [[User:Wordie|Wordie]] 17:50, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

== Albert Einstein info ==

Hey Dcljr, thanks for the Albert Einstein info on my talk page. [[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:15, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

== Japanese actors and actresses ==

Hi Dcljr, No opinion on which of the two categories ([[:Category:Japanese actors and actresses]] and [[:Category:Japanese actors]]) should  be merged into the other. Just makes sense to have one of them be the focal point for efforts. [[User:Fg2|Fg2]] 22:39, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)

== It's not yours ==
Nathan, it looks like you need to get past the idea that articles you create are "your" articles. They are not. They are Wikipedia articles that can be edited by any user or visitor to Wikipedia. (See the bold text under the edit box when editing any page: "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it.") OTOH, I understand your frustration about your "plans" for articles being disrupted, so to avoid such problems why don't you just create articles that you'll be developing over a period of time as subpages of your user page, as I have for a few articles I'm working on. If it's under your user page, you have an absolute right, as I see it, to revert any unwanted edits. If it's in the main article namespace, however, you really don't have any standing to consider your vision for the article to be the only allowable one. - dcljr 18:35, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:NathanHawking"

:'''It's not an issue of territory'''. It's a matter of ''common sense and courtesy'' that the author of an article which is clearly "under construction" should not have to deal with massive changes to his or her fledgling efforts within minutes or hours of a first draft--especially without discussion. 

:Those who believe that clobbering a new article falls under the "edited mercilessly" should be prepared to have their edits "edited mercilessly" by reversion then, correct? What's sauce for the goose.--[[User:NathanHawking|NathanHawking]] 21:24, 2004 Oct 30 (UTC)

==Deletionism==
I saw your village pump article about all human knowledge.  If you want to save knowledge from being deleted you may want to join: [[M:Association_of_Inclusionist_Wikipedians|Association_of_Inclusionist_Wikipedians]].  I also have an idea that deletion votes should occur once a year, and things that are nonvandalism that gets 'deleted' should be moved to another Wiki, someone called it Wikitrivia (trivial stuff that is human knowledge but not 'encyclopedic' what ever that means :)). --[[User:ShaunMacPherson|ShaunMacPherson]] 03:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

==Culture of Greece==

[[Culture of Greece]] is this week's [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|Collaboration of the week]].  Please come and help it become a [[Wikipedia:Featured_articles|featured]]-[[Wikipedia:What is a featured article|standard]] article.

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

== Admin nomination ==

Hello. You aren't an administrator but I think you ought to be. I will nominate you if you like. You may reply here or on [[User talk:Wile E. Heresiarch|my talk page]]. Regards & happy editing, [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 16:12, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

:Hmm, well, thank you for the thought, but I'm not sure I really want to be able to do any of the [[Wikipedia:Administrators|things admins can do]]. Recently I've been slowly branching out into more maintenance-related activities, but I think I should get more experience before I get into ''administrative'' activities. For now I'm happy to be just an active user. Maybe later this year I'll feel differently. Thanks again... - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] 20:17, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

== Revised intro for statistics ==

Hi again. I saw your proposal to revise the [[statistics]] intro section. It doesn't look like you actually carried out that plan -- I'd like to encourage you to go ahead since it's a definite improvement. Looks like the rest of the article would benefit from your attention too. For what it's worth, [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 16:18, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

::Urgh... every time I try to respond, Wikipedia goes down or I run out of time. Short version: I kinda got scared away by the discussion I had on [[Talk:Statistics|the talk page]].

== tagging articles ==

Please put templates like <nowiki>{{expansion}}</nowiki> that only are useful to editors, on talk pages (the only exception I can think of would be the different stub templates). Thank you. :) --[[User:Maveric149|mav]] 08:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Template:Translate ==
I have put [[Template:Translate]] on [[WP:TFD]]. It was created because [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://de.wikipedia.org&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools links to Google translations] didn't used to work, but now they do, which makes the templates unecessary. More details on the problem it was created to solve can be seen in the discussion of [[MediaZilla:361|bug 361]]. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 15:57, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

You can fix them or not fix them. I don't think anyone will get upset :-) [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] 21:43, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Statistics==

I've introduced an article for [[distribution function]], which was formerly a redirect to [[cumulative distribution function]].  (The concepts are related, but distinct.  You may want to update your link.)

If you use the "what links here" button to see what points to [[distribution function]], all the links should currently be physics links.  I ''manually'' redirected all the current pages that had a statistical subject so that they pointed to [[cumulative distribution function]] directly - although I'm not sure if that's the intended reference in all cases.  (Some may want [[probability density function]] instead.)  I also posted a note on [[talk:cumulative distribution function]].  As for your suggestion of a disambiguation page, I don't know how to make one, and settled for making the first line of [[distribution function]] a note on the topic, with pointers to a couple of other topics that might have the same name.  (Oh, and I ''usually'' remember to sign my messages.  Sorry for the extra legwork you had to do to find me.)[[User:SMesser|SMesser]] 13:47, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Interwiki Madness ==

Thank you for your comments on [[User talk:Davidcannon|my talk page]].  I do try to update that list periodically - once a month, on average.  In general, I don't list a wiki on that list until it becomes active, even though I may have opened an account on it.  Yes, there are wikis on which I don't have counters.  I DID have counters, but once in a blue moon some do-gooder sees a counter, and nothing else, on one of my user pages, thinks some crank must have put it there, and removes it.  From time to time I discover the odd one.  Thank you for giving me a list of the ones where you found the counter to be missing - I'll fix them now.

The depreciated wikis (Serbo-Croatian, Moldovan, and Tokipona) - I've kept the first two because there are still a few enthusiasts who are trying to keep the first one going (despite its split), there's a debate about separating Moldovan from Romanian (with some nationalists arguing that as it can be written in the cyrillic alphabet, it should qualify as a separate language, much as Hindi differs from Urdu), and Tokipona is still occupying space on the Wikimedia server, despite its having been officially shut down.  

My basic reason for making that list was to have a quick and easy way to check the statistics of each language once a month, as I am one of the volunteers looking after the [[Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics]] tables. [[User:Davidcannon|David Cannon]] 11:04, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Interlanguage links on user pages ==
It's not discouraged at all . The only reason I don't do on the English Wikipedia it is to deter vandals from vandalising my user page on wikis I don't watch that often. I do use those links on other Wikipedias though since it's an easy way to get from one wiki to related languages. See [[:af:Gebruiker:Angela]] for example, which links to other African language Wikipedias . [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]]

== Template ==
Sorry for the confusion - I need to better organize it, so that the links to the subordinate pages is clearer.

== Stub template weirdness ==

I notice you created <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Compu-network-stub]]}}. I can't figure out why the "expanding it" link is screwed up in [[RFC 3377|this article]] I just added the tag to. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] 09:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

:I can figure out why, but the fix probably isn't easy. When you write RFC 3377, it gets turned into a link; that seems to be badly iteracting with the link on the template (which is {{SERVER}}{{localurl::RFC 3377|action=edit}} &mdash; take a look at the wiki markup for that), and closing the <nowiki>[]</nowiki> before it should be closed. You should talk about it to the [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject stub sorting|Wikiproject stub sorting]] people &mdash; that code came from [[Template:metastub]] (it was copied to [[Template:compu-network-stub]] via subst:). --[[User:CesarB|cesarb]] 12:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

==Re: Colonial Governors==

You got me just in time because I am about to leave Wikipedia to go on a long trip. I will work on the page, though I will probably not have time to verify every single colony/territory. However, I will definitely work on it and make some updates. By the way, I noticed that you posted a message to the talk page of [[User:Gzornenplatz]]. For a variety of complicated reasons, Gzornenplatz has been banned from Wikipedia, so he won't be coming to help with the page.

== Table Question ==
Hi Dcljr,
I wonder if you could answer a question. I saw your user page explaining tables, which is very cool. Since you appear to be an expert on these matters, I wonder if you could tell me how to center align the contents of a cell using wiki table markup. The numbers across the top of the [[Periodic table (standard)|periodic table of elements]] should be centered, so they appear to line up correctly, which they do not currently. [[User:-asx-|-asx-]]
:There are several ways, but the easiest in this case is just to use header cells, which are automatically centered and in bold, by using "'''!'''" instead of "'''|'''" at the beginning of those lines. I've made this change to [[Periodic table (standard)]], so you can check out the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Periodic_table_%28standard%29&diff=19064839&oldid=19062837 difference between versions] to see what I did. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] 06:54, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
:Another way, if you just want the alignment and not bold text, is to use '''align="center"''', which can be applied to a single cell or a whole row (see my [[User:Dcljr/Tables#Alignment, width and height|Alignment, width and height]] example). Unfortunately, the commentary on that page hasn't really been finished as I lost interest after a while.

== problem with tables in mozilla ==

when i draw tables n arabic/urdu the context of the table tends to appear opposite to the table.

this problem is only with mozilla ,ie works fine
help me please [[User:Wisesabre|WiseSabre]] 03:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi there!  I haven't had time to upload them yet - will try to get around to it in the next 48 hours. I've downloaded them.  I do that manually - on the first day of every month, I manually check all 200 Wikipedias.

== Latter Day Saint Movement ==
Don't get discouraged -- things sometimes move erraticly in the project, sometimes very slowly and then we all hurry up and do things.  Several of our more active contributors are on extended breaks from Wiki, including the originator of the decade pages -- and we are all looking forward to their return.  The project conventions on LDS related names had been decided before I've arrived, but there have been some variants discussed and used while I've been here.  I suspect that the editor/group will probably make some changes, particularly in the decade pages.  

And, by the way, why aren't you a member of the project?  There is always plenty of work to do, and we welcome all types of Latter Day Saints as well as people from other backgrounds.  Please think about it.  I would look forward to working with you.  [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 01:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

== Can you take a look at "fair comment"? ==

Especially since you are a math tutor it would be intereting to have your thought on  [[Talk:Fair_comment#I.29Practial_use_of_.E2.80.9Cfair_comment.E2.80.9D_following_the_introduction_of_.E2.80.9Cactual_malice.E2.80.9D|this.]]

In my 3rd observation I point out logical inconsistantcies in the last paragraph of the newest version. 

As you can see the atmosphere in this talkpage is quite charged but if you can make some comments on the validity of my observations it would help the article tremendously. 

I will not make changes on the article itself. In fact I never edited the article after I created it. 

The creation of the article came as a byproduct in my efforts in a diskussion on another article to establish that "fair comment" is a legal term. I was subsequently accused of mischaracterising the actual meaning of "fair comment"... In the post I have linked I also defend myself against this allegation therefore it is not essential for you to actually read the whole post. 

Just a comment if my logic was flawed would be enough (and why of course)...

Thank you in advance

== Woodward ==

Thanks for the note, DCL.  Your page looks good to me.  It looks like I started my page, but never finished it or bothered to connect it to the other pages.  Sometimes that happens, I start a page and then get called back to real life.  I'm not sure what Wikipedia's policy is on naming disambiguation pages.  I tend to like the word disambiguation in the title so that there is no mistaking what kind of page it is.  So if you want to use the disambiguation page title, then just delete my stuff.  I assume you've checked to see if I found any that you didn't.  I looked yours over; it looks complete.  Good work. [[User:SDC|SDC]] 02:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:If the convention is not to use "disambiguation" in the title, then go with that.  For me, I prefer to have it there, but this is hardly a big point.  Also, do you think it's a good idea to mention the last name Woodard?  I got tripped up on that one once when I was looking up [[Alfre Woodard]].  If you go with your page title, to be thorough, you'd want to delete the disambiguation page.  But it would be easier just to redirect for now.  I'll leave it to you.

Hi Dcjlr I created that category in rather a hurry to clear out the year articles that were clogging up [[:Category:Archaeology]]. I'm sorry to say I wasn't aware of the conventions you linked to. I will add that to my mental list of things to do, but given that changing them doesn't add any new information to the wiki and given what a pain it was to re-categorise them all in the first place, I'm afraid it's not something I see as a priority at the moment. Are there no plans to automate category management on the wiki, because it is sorely needed? [[User:Adamsan|adamsan]] 22:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

:[[Special:Listusers]] already gives the option(s) to list bots, sysops, bureaucrats, stewards, developers, users with checkuser status, and two other types of users I'm not familiar with.

==RE: [[The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog]]==
In answer to your query, it was not a "guess".  It was merely a factual observation.  From a corporate point of view, a non-threatening phrase is "preferrable" to a controversial one.  Period.   I didn't say that it was necessarily the ONLY innoffensive phrase, just that it was better than many others.  If you want to see what I mean, check out the other [[pangrams]] and you'll note that some of them are simply too offensive or aggressive to be included in any piece of mass-market software.  Note that I wasn't making a specific statement in regards to a *specific*, documented decision that you can point to.  It is just a very simple statement made on basic marketing principles, meant to modestly educate the reader so that they can understand the coporate standpoint that Microsoft was coming from.

== MediaWiki:Prefs-help-email ==

You recently changed [[MediaWiki:Prefs-help-email]] to read (added text in bold):
: ''* E-mail (optional): Enables others to e-mail you from your user or user talk page, without revealing your e-mail address. '''It will be revealed when you use the "E-mail this user" feature.''' Please note that if you change your e-mail address, you will need to <u>reconfirm</u> your address.''
When I read this recently, I thought it was a mistake because it seemed self-contradictory ("will the address be revealed or won't it?"). A better wording might be something like:
: ''* E-mail (optional): Allows us to e-mail your password to you if you forget it. If you also "Enable e-mail from other users", then others can e-mail you from your <b>User</b> or <b>User talk</b> page by using the "E-mail this user" feature. Note that the sender's e-mail address will be visible to the recipient. If you change your e-mail address, you will need to <u>reconfirm</u> your address.''
It's more wordy, but less susceptible to misinterpretation, I think. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] <small>([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]])</small> 04:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

A user left [[User talk:Dcljr#MediaWiki:Prefs-help-email|a message on my talk page]] about the wording of [[MediaWiki:Emailforlost]] (I figure that's what he was talking about, even though he's following up on our discussion of [[MediaWiki:Prefs-help-email]], the wording of which hasn't changed since you took my suggestion back in April). So I'd like to suggest a change to [[MediaWiki:Emailforlost]], also (my edit in bold): "''* E-mail address is optional; no confirmation is required. However, giving your e-mail address allows other users to send you mail, and enables you to request password reminders. We won't reveal your address to anyone, unless you use the "E-mail this user" feature '''to send mail to another user'''.''" A little redundant, perhaps, but I think it drives the point home a little more clearly. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] <small>([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]])</small> 05:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

:While I'm also not sure what he's talking about, I've implemented your change. It's not redundant; someone might interpret "using the feature" as "enabling the reception of email", and not only as "sending email", and your change clearly points to which of those two interpretations is what is meant. --[[User:CesarB|cesarb]] 15:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Dcljr!

On the off chance that you're still interested in working on the [[statistics]] article, I'll be glad to help you push a more rigorous approach. Oh &ndash; I have about 30 years' experience as an actuary. So I probably have more of an "applied statistician" bent than you'd like to see. On the other hand, I have had lots of arguments with other actuaries because I do not hesitate to criticize their methods as unscientific when fundamental rules of rigor in analysis &ndash; or objectivity in data collection procedures &ndash; are violated. Eventually I became more or less disgusted with the whole crew. So maybe we could have some fun together.

== Peg Entwistle Discussion ==
How does saying, "some one needs to get a life" reflect a positive suggestion about the content of the Entwistle Wiki? Where I come from this is an insulting comment directed at an individual. This is why I removed the unsigned comment. I did not remove the unsigned comment because of the question of including info about the death of Robert Entwistle.

However, let me say that I in fact do have a life. The biography of Peg Entwistle is my life. Her family thinks it a fine life and has been very gracious and generous with photos, letters, diaries and a host of other items. In addition, three other authors and a film maker think my life a fine life and have validated my life by crediting me in their projects as a research consultant regarding Peg Entwistle.

As to the inclusion of the death of Peg Entwistle's father, I think it important to not only include his death and the circumstances behind it, I think it's also important to mention the death of her mother and step-mother. After all, if sayyyy, Bette Davis suffered the death of two mothers and a father by the time she was fourteen, don't you think Wiki readers would want to know? The problem I see with Wiki is that too many of us editors are more concerned with ego and vindictiveness than with presenting an informative synopsis for the reader.

Commenting on what is or isn't relative to a Wiki is one thing; following the comment with "some one needs to get a life" is quite another thing altogether.

: I think you know that my "improving the article" remark (from [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Peg_Entwistle&diff=prev&oldid=224768950 edit summary]) was in regards to the rest of the anon user's comment, before the final "get a life" line. As for the rest of your comments, I don't really care about your status as her biographer, whether you have a life, or even whether the anon's viewpoint about the article was actually correct. I was only responding to what I believed was an inappropriate talk page edit. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] <small>([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]])</small> 04:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

:: Actually, no, I didn't know any such thing. I have been constantly rebuffed and deleted ever since I had words with a blogger on another site and who then vandalized the article. My edits of the Entwistle article went unchallenged for months. Then after the vadalisim (which began minutes after my quarrel with the blogger), my edits were suddenly not up to Wiki standards--the article "too much this," and "not enough that." I don't trust a single one of you anymore. It's been a nightmare trying to work with Wiki editors and trying to tell the truth about this girl. It is amazing the bad vibes I get in reply to my trying to qualify myself as to why my contributions regarding Entwistle should be considered. Amazing.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Mavis Leno]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Mavis Leno]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for biographies]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Mavis Leno|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Mavis Leno|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-bio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Hoponpop69|Hoponpop69]] ([[User talk:Hoponpop69|talk]]) 14:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== <nowiki>{{source needed}}</nowiki> added to lead paragraph of [[Firefly (TV series)]] ==

I am confused by your recent edit to [[Firefly (TV series)]] where you tagged a phrase in the lead paragraph with <nowiki>{{source needed}}</nowiki>.

(I don't recall where I read this -- one of the [[WP:MOS|MOS]]s I assume -- but I can search for it if you like.)

Hi.  I reverted your change of [[Robin Hunicke]]'s title from "the producer" to "Producer Extraordinaire", per [[WP:PEACOCK]].  I realize she is called "Producer Extraordinaire" on her company's web site, but although I can see this as an acceptable source for identifying her as an employee of the company, I feel we need to draw the [[WP:SELFPUB]] line at copying puffy job titles.  To be perfectly honest, I'm not really convinced Ms. Hunicke is sufficiently [[WP:NOTABILITY|notable]] to have her own Wikipedia article at all; I'm inclined to propose that a summary of this content should be merged into [[thatgamecompany]]'s article (including probably her photo, which I will note was recently recognized as a Featured Picture).

== RE: Reversion on University of Houston article ==

The following are excerpts from [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (linking)]] which are relevant to your edit that you had made to the lead section of the [[University of Houston]] article.  I only included the points that are relevant to your edit.  If you need for me to explain each of the wikilink and its relation to the points below, then let me know and I will do so.  If you go look at the lead section of the [[Houston]] article, you might think it is underlinked.  As you can see, only Houston-related articles are linked in the lead section so that readers will not be distracted.  The UH article only links UH-related articles, unless an ambiguous term is introduced.  The idea is the get readers to at least read through the lead section without being distracted by articles that are not related to the topic that they have stumbled upon.  &ndash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 05:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)


*When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link, as in <code><nowiki>[[Public university|public]]&nbsp;[[research university]]</nowiki></code> ([[Public university|public]]&nbsp;[[research university]]). 
<blockquote>
====Lead section====
{{shortcut|WP:LEADLINK}}
Too many links can make the lead hard to read. In technical articles that use uncommon terms, a higher-than-usual link density in the lead section may be necessary. In such cases, try to provide an informal explanation in the lead, avoiding using too many technical terms until later in the article—see [[WP:Make technical articles accessible]] and point 7 of [[WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal]].

====What generally should not be linked====
{{shortcut|WP:OVERLINK}}
An article is said to be ''overlinked'' if it links to words that can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia. Overlinking should be avoided, because it makes it difficult for the reader to identify and follow links that are likely to be of value.<ref name="Dvorak">{{cite news   | author = [[John C. Dvorak|Dvorak, John C.]]  | title = Missing Links  | work = [[PC Magazine]]  | date = April 2002| url = http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,33326,00.asp  | accessdate =  }}</ref> Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article,
*Avoid linking plain English words. 
*Avoid linking the names of major geographic features and locations, nations, languages, religions, and common professions.

====What generally should be linked====
{{shortcut|WP:UNDERLINK}}
An article is said to be ''underlinked'' if words are not linked that are needed to aid understanding of the article. In general, links should be created to:

*relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers understand the article more fully (see the example below). This can include people, events and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, so long as the link is relevant to the article in question.
*articles with relevant information.
*articles explaining technical terms, jargon or slang expressions—but you could also provide a concise definition instead of or in addition to a link. 
*proper names that are likely to be unfamiliar to readers.

====An example article====
For example, in the article on [[supply and demand]]:
* almost certainly link "[[microeconomics]]" and "[[general equilibrium theory]]", as these are technical terms that many readers are unlikely to understand at first sight;
* consider linking "[[price]]" and "[[Good (economics)|goods]]" only if these common words have technical dimensions that are specifically relevant to the topic.
* do not link to the "United States", because that is an article on a very broad topic with no direct connection to supply and demand.
* definitely do not link "potato", because it is a common term with no particular relationship to the article on supply and demand, beyond its arbitrary use as an example of traded goods in that article.

Looking at the fact that you are good with tables, as well as content, I find you to be the only editor I have found who can help.

I have forked it out of [[Jayne Mansfield]] some time back (the mother article is on it's way to FAC, and [[Jayne Mansfield in popular culture|another fork]] is already a GA). But, my grasp on tables is tentative at best.

These table have too many columns (some up to seven columns). Reducing down of columns may be very useful. Not everyone has a wide screen. Besides, width of the columns are pretty goofy. That needs to be fixed as well. Please, see what you can do. I, of course, will be available to answer any question.

P.S. I promise to work on filling up all empty cells with appropriate content. So don't worry about empty cells, not yet. With nurturing this one could become an FLC alright.

== University of Houston ==

===Carnegie Foundation's Research Classification===
The Carnegie Foundation classifies the [[University of Houston]] as a Tier&nbsp;One research university.[http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2011articles/Jan2011/011811CarnegieTierOne.php][http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2011/01/21/uh-achieves-tier-one-status-in-research.html][http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7386162.html][http://www.uh.edu/about/initiatives/UH_STUDENT_SUCCESS_FY12.pdf] This is the highest classficiation of research universities.  The designation makes UH one of only three Tier One state research universities in Texas.  The Carnegie Foundation's Tier&nbsp;One research classification is not the same thing as the "Tier&nbsp;1" National University Rankings in ''U.S. News & World Report''.

The text in the [[Education in Texas]] article asserts that Texas has three Tier One state research universities: The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston.  This statement is correct as the Carnegie Foundation classifies these three institutions in its highest category of research universities.

–[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 20:04, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
===''U.S. News & World Report'' Ranking===
No where in the text—at the time of the talk page posting—does the Education in Texas article asserts that the University of Houston is Tier&nbsp;1 in the National University Rankings of ''U.S. News & World Report''; howevever, it is now.  The Carnegie Foundation's "Tier One" research classification is not the same thing as the "Tier&nbsp;1" National University Rankings in ''U.S. News & World Report''.

The ''U.S. News & World Report'' ranks the university No.&nbsp;184 (Tier&nbsp;1) in its National University Rankings, and is No.&nbsp;103 among top public universities.[http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/page+19][http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/top-public/page+5]  It was ranked Tier&nbsp;2 in previous years, but is now Tier&nbsp;1 in the latest rankings!

–[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 20:04, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
===Conclusion===

The University of Houston is a Carnegie-designated Tier One research university, and is now Tier&nbsp;1 in the National University Rankings of ''U.S. News & World Report''.

You should read the text in the article and check its sources next time, prior to relying on misinterpretation and outdated information on the talk page.

The issue is not whether UH is actually tier-one or tier-two, it's that you keep reverting the other user's (and now my) comment(s) away instead of replying to them, which is not an appropriate use of article talk pages. If you can post the above explanation to this page, you can put it on the article's talk page. Please do that after undoing your latest revert. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 03:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

== Confusing once-reverted instructions are back ==

I see that you once [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Language_user_templates&diff=167619909&oldid=158432623 reverted away] the quite confusing "instructions" at [[:Category:Language user templates]]. Would you like to take another crack at them? (They were [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Language_user_templates&diff=180711260&oldid=178335095 re-added] by an anon editor [with an oddly misleading edit summary] two months after your revert.) I was going to beg on the talk page that they be re-written, but now that I see the page history... perhaps they should simply be done away with again? - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]]) 09:00, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

== Milestone statistics (again) ==

I've reverted your edit to [[Wikipedia:Milestone statistics]]. The people who maintain this table (including me) have chosen not to track as many milestones as [[m:Wikimedia News#Wikipedias|the table at Meta]] (some relevant discussion can be seen in [[Wikipedia talk:Milestone statistics/Archive]]). If you'd like to lobby for doing things differently, please bring it up on [[Wikipedia talk:Milestone statistics|the talk page]]. I help to maintain both tables and can vouch for the fact that the table here at Wikipedia is just as correct as the one at Meta, it just doesn't contain as many levels. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr|talk]]) 02:55, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
:Thank you for alerting me to your reversion,

== Help needed ==
Hello, first of all I should tell you that I have looked all over wikipedia for a way to edit the table below and get it to display correctly but haven't found a way in any of the table help pages. I'm not sure if this is a valid request to post on your talk page but I would really appreciate it if you please looked it over and advised a solution. Basically, what I cannot achieve is for the header "Posición" to display up on top just like "Puntos", and if possible at all to mimic the colors displayed on the body of the table. My intention is to replace the table on http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A1sico_Regiomontano#Liguilla

{{outdent}}
Oh... I wasn't expecting English and Spanish in the same sentence! :-)

My translation:
* ''Hellow, I tampoco entiendo you comment.'' → <u>Hello, I can't understand your comment either.</u>
* ''If tengo razón sobre lo que me quieres decir,'' → <u>If I am correct about what you want me to say,</u>
* ''digo que me refiero a que the message's location is m:Meta:Babel.'' → <u>I say that I mean the message's location is m:Meta:Babel.</u>
* ''Pensabas que decía que the message's location is m:User language?'' → <u>You thought that I said that the message's location is m:User language?</u>

My reply:
; English
: Unfortunately, now I am not sure what message you are referring to. Yours? Mine? Another message that I or you were referring to? Maybe we should just start over: My answer, in English, to your original question is at [[m:Meta talk:Babel#Name]]. I assumed that you were asking why [[m:Meta:Babel]] is not related to the Babel language templates, so I tried to explain that it's because the discussion forum at [[m:Meta:Babel]] had that name before the Babel templates existed — the implication being that no one has wanted to change the name of the forum since that time. Since you requested an answer in Spanish, I used Google Translate to translate my answer (I changed a few phrases to try to get a better translation), and posted it on your talk page at [[:es:Usuario Discusión:Iggoul2#m:Meta:Babel]]. The second sentence in my answer, starting with "''En la parte superior''", was not actually a response to your question, but instead was a general comment about how we (editors of Meta) could avoid possible confusion in the future by including instructions in other languages at the top of [[m:Meta:Babel]] about where the Babel templates can be found. (Currently those instructions are only in English.) Ironically, I think that part of my answer was what caused your confusion. If you are still confused, please reply here and I will answer here.
; Español (~)
: Lamentablemente, ahora no estoy seguro de cuál es el mensaje que se está refiriendo. ¿Tuyo? ¿Mío? Otro mensaje para que yo o que se refería? Tal vez deberíamos empezar de nuevo: Mi respuesta, en Inglés, a su pregunta original está en [[m:Meta talk:Babel#Name]]. (Asumí que estabas preguntando por qué X no está relacionado con las plantillas de idiomas Babel, así que traté de explicar que es porque el foro de discusión en el X tenía ese nombre antes de que las plantillas Babel existían — lo que implica que nadie ha querido cambiar el nombre del foro ya ese momento.) Desde que solicitó una respuesta en español, he usado Google Translate para traducir mi respuesta (he cambiado algunas frases para tratar de conseguir una mejor traducción), y publicado en su página de discusión en [[:es:Usuario Discusión:Iggoul2#m:Meta:Babel]]. La segunda frase de mi respuesta, a partir de "''En la parte superior''", no era en realidad una respuesta a su pregunta, sino que era un comentario general sobre cómo nosotros (editores de la Meta-Wiki) podríamos evitar posibles confusiones en el futuro mediante la inclusión de instrucciones en otros idiomas en la parte superior de la [[m:Meta:Babel]] de donde la plantillas de Babel se pueden encontrar. (En la actualidad esas instrucciones son sólo en Inglés). Irónicamente, creo que esa parte de mi respuesta fue la causa de su confusión. Si todavía está confundido, por favor, responda aquí y voy a responder aquí.

# Select a sandbox: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Look if sandboxes color is red. If is red, please wait. If is green, go to green's sandbox.
# Insert code in footer of sandbox: <code><nowiki>{{subst:Respuesta usuario}}</nowiki></code>
# Save changes.
# Edit sandbox.
# Translate the Spanish words to English.
# Move the code to you talk page, say, this page. The code in the page's top location.

On wikidata approved bot: 34 000 edits.

The content of the articles is from wikidata using mainly the [[oc:modèl:Infobox|INFOBOX]]: a lot of stubs, some with more informations.

(To avoid problems like this in the future, you really should modify what you're doing to enable your bot to create higher-quality articles.)

Hello. I noticed your recent edits to the article [[Comparison between U.S. states and countries by GDP (nominal)]] , adding link labels to the category links. That's not conventional Wikipedia style, it's not an accurate label of where the links lead, and doesn't even seem to have worked. What are you trying to accomplish?

: Actually, it is Wikipedia style. They're called [[WP:SORTKEY|sortkeys]], and they control the order in which things are listed in the [[:Category:Gross domestic product|relevant]] [[:Category:Economics comparisons|categories]]. Without them, articles such as "Comparison of Xs", "List of Xs", and "Xs in Y" would appear in the category under "C" and "L" and "X", respectively, instead of all appearing together under the actual topic "X".  It is sometimes difficult to choose the right sortkey, but the category title and its actual contents usually determines which one will work best. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 02:53, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

== Changes to Wikimedia News page counts ==

Hello,

You recently changes the contents of [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_News Wikimedia News] in a rather grand way. I can't even wrap my head around how it's possible that an article counter could have a 98% inaccuracy. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Resources#News_and_notes Signpost] has been using this page for a long time now to keep abreast of project milestones, and so it's a significant concern to us that so many of our milestones may be flatly wrong. I wanted to speak with you and ask if you could provide a detailed summary of the issue and how it's been resolved, perhaps one publishable as a short lead story in our pages? I saw your extensive notes from 2012 but am not sure how to interpret them in the context of your most recent changes.

== Re:Article recounting ==

So, to reply to your request.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/OPUP/browse/production/files/misc/scripts/update-article-count$9

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
for set in wikinews wikipedia wikiquote wikisource wikiversity wikivoyage wiktionary; do
  echo $set
  /usr/local/bin/mwscriptwikiset updateArticleCount.php $set.dblist --update
  echo
  echo
done
</syntaxhighlight>

In this case $set becomes wikinews, then wikipedia... through to wiktionary. It's then run on the whole dblist for that project. So it'll be in that order, and then in alphabetical order for each project.

Per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rOPUP22c00eb45bbd2b4fb9b6658344a40fe3066cf63e

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
command  => 'flock -n /var/lock/update-article-count /usr/local/bin/update-article-count > /var/log/mediawiki/updateArticleCount.log 2>&1',
</syntaxhighlight>

It is logged to a file on terbium. So when I have access to my laptop with my SSH keys, I'll have a look at that file. I can't remember what exactly it contains, but I can possibly post a copy somewhere. It doesn't contain any timing data [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/maintenance/updateArticleCount.php], but adding it wouldn't be too difficult to do long term.

It's ages since ran the scripts, so no idea straight off, but again, when I have shell access (later today), I'll try running it on a couple of smaller wikis, and then run it on a larger wiki for you.

[[User:Reedy|Reedy]] ([[User talk:Reedy|talk]]) 13:45, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
:[https://people.wikimedia.org/~reedy/updateArticleCount.log] is the version of the log as of "May 21 19:32" (last modified time). Simple maths suggests it takes 14.5 hours to run for all the wikis... [[User:Reedy|Reedy]] ([[User talk:Reedy|talk]]) 21:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
:: {{Reply to|Reedy}} That's great to know, thanks. I don't suppose it would be possible to get the contents (or at least the timestamps) of the logs from 21 April 2015 or (even better) 29 March 2015, would it? (I suspect they've been overwritten by the latest one, but one can always hope.) Just knowing the timestamps would be useful to get an idea of the amount of variability involved (i.e., is it 14.5 hours plus or minus 15 minutes, or 14.5 hours plus or minus 2 hours). But if I could get the freshly-recounted article counts from 29 March 2015, that would be ''great''. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 00:40, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
:::Unfortunately those logs aren't rotated (there isn't really anything worth keeping longterm in them, but could be rotated if was deemed necessary. Analytics may have a use for them too). I'll try and run it on some big wikis, and some smaller to give some idea of time. It could be that enwiki, dewiki and such are taking the lions share of the time.

== Wheel sieves ==

I'm wondering if Paul Pritchard is still alive?  Also have you considered using the reduced residue systems modulo the products of the first n primes to easily build the system for the first n+1 primes.  Example {6(n)+{1,5}|n=0,1,...,4} - {5,25}?  Once arrived at a ladder rung any number can be factored by throwing into the form (bx+r)(by+s) = bz+t where t is congruent to rs mod b.  Then it follows that bxy+sx+ry = z.  If sx+ry is less than b this separates immediately into two equations sx+ry= z mod b and xy = z div b.  When sx+ry>b there are several ways to parametrize the search for factors, one of which eliminates the xy term leaving only a need to know s+r.  Clearly the totient of the product of the first n primes grows quickly but there are easy methods for calculating the set {(r,s)|rs mod b = t}, and entirely specific methods of optimization allow exact calculations of the number of steps to factor any number N.  I am currently working on wheel sieves and the way in which the sequence of powers of consecutive primes relates to many elements of elementary number theory.  I'm afraid I am not as mathematically sophisticated as to use asymptotic methods, but I also do not see the practical value in their use if the goal is simply to factor a specific number.

== Exposition of bundling ==

I like your exposition of bundling ([[WT:Citing_sources#Bundling_revisited|here]]). But I would add an example (of the use of short cites), and make some minor revisions. Hopefully before it attracts a lot of attention. Not enough time today; I will get back to you on this. ~ [[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 00:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Some alterations I would like to make in your [[WT:Citing_sources#Bundling_revisited|bundling exposition]]. I suggest these in part for clarification, but also with a view towards their possible inclusion in the documentation.

:1- Number the examples. E.g.: "{{tq|'''#1''': This example ....}}"
:2- Add an example (#2b?) showing use with short cites.
:3- Revise or replace your first two "sources" with something more like what would be seen in an article, including an author(s) and date (year).
:4- Separate the first two sections (through example six), which describe what bundling is and its variations, and presumably not controversial, from the remaining sections, which are arguable.
:5- Change the headers of the first two sections from the faux question style to a definite statement. (I.e., something like "Bundling illustrated", and "Bundling variations".)

Are you okay with these? ~ [[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 23:24, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:: Sure, but you should probably just copy what I've done, paste it into a new section, and then modify it, rather than trying to change it "in place" (in other words, I'd rather keep an unaltered version of what I wrote). Then interested parties can discuss it further with that goal (possibly adding it to the guidelines) in mind. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 02:47, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

:::I'd like to do these to the version that everyone refers to (and before we get many people get to referring to it), and without creating multiple variants. E.g., bold numbering really would make the parts clearer. And I think it is really important to show that bundling applies to short citations as well. If we do these tweaks now it will aid the hoped for discussion on bundling/refn, and (assuming a consensus is reached) and avoid having to explain any post-consensus modifications. How might I talk you into this? ~ [[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 21:48, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
:::: So just make your version the "version everyone refers to". Seeing as how I posted my comment almost a week ago, I don't think there's much risk of a bunch of people suddenly coming out of the woodwork now to comment on it. OTOH, if you post a "better" version in a new section — especially one marked and announced as a [[WP:RFC|Request for Comment]] — then you will almost certainly see more people showing up to weigh in on the matter. (I can also post a short "warning" that editors should discuss the issue further in "your" section after you create it, much like you did {{diff2|694539674|in this edit}}.) Please note that I have not simply dismissed your request without serious consideration: I actually tried making some of the changes you requested (none saved, ultimately), but they were so extensive that it would have completely changed the nature of my comment. That being the case, I really think it would be best to simply "start over" (yet again) with a dedicated "RFC" section formatted exactly the way you want. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 03:03, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

::::: I have been trying to avoid attracting any comment until we have something really solid to comment on. And as a multiplicity of variants would be confusing, I would like to build on a single version, namely yours. I don't believe any of my proposed alterations change the nature or essential content of your example, except for items #4 and #5. I think these are warranted in that they remove the recital of "what is" from the parts that may be contested, but please tell me of any qualms you have about that.  I think I will try to do these revisions on my Talk page, and then you can see if they are acceptable. ~ [[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 00:16, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

:::::: So see what I have done at [[User:J._Johnson/sandbox#Bundling|my sandbox]], implementing my alterations 1, 4, and 5. Most notably, I have split the first six examples that illustrate bundling (and should not be controversial) from the examples you use for your argument. I also made the first two headers declarative. I don't believe these make any substantial change in your comment, or the argument you present, but tell me what you think. (Even if we don't get back to the current discussion I am hoping to get a good example for future use.)

:::::: I haven't yet added the short cite example (#2) because I was getting tangled up in the {refn} templates. For an argument against the use of {refn} it is odd to be using it in the examples. I am thinking the examples should be revised to do without it. Does that change anything for you? ~ [[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 22:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I love your enthusiasm and love of the Gymnastics article however I would like to point out why I changed the heading from International Competitive Gymnastics to FIG Recognized forms.

== Closing markup bot? ==

Did we ever get anywhere on a bot for closing the bold and italics markup on tennis articles? It is really getting tiresome for us (me in particular) to have to fix new article after new article. Editors simply say "look at how many old articles are done this way" and then they go on their merry way adding more and more bad coding. I have told the most blatant abusers and when they ignore it 15 minutes later started giving out disruptive editing warnings. I have been reverting their incorrect edits but it seems to be never ending. Any thoughts?

: I don't know about anyone else, but ''I'' didn't get anywhere on it. Sorry. I started to create regex substitutions that would work for various cases; then when that was taking too long I switched to just collecting examples of the kinds of cases that would need to be fixed. But shortly after I started that I was pulled away by other things and never got back to it. Thanks for continuing to fix the articles as they get created (and dealing with the offending editors). I know it's a lot of work. As for getting bot help, I figure a good [[WP:BOTREQ|bot request]] requires a list of prototypical examples that cover the vast majority of instances that need to be fixed (ideally all of them, of course, but that's probably an impossible bar to reach — I've collected a random smattering [[User:Dcljr/sandbox|in my sandbox]]), a good sampling of pages to test any proposed solution(s) on, and a larger list of all pages that need checking (probably any main-namespace page transcluding any of the templates listed in [[:Category:Tennis tournament bracket templates]]). I should offer my services on some of this, but I'm afraid that might (continue to) slow down progress on it. Let me know what your plans are...

::Hilarious... I scratched my head for a few minutes trying to figure out what 10-10-10 was.... I felt I was out of the loop on something. I can't believe it's been that long on Wikipedia. More precisely I can't believe I didn't do something bad enough to be thrown out. If you didn't see it I did post the problem we are having over at [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#What_problems_occur_by_not_closing_bold_or_italic_markup.3F|The Village Pump (technical)]] to see if there are more reasons we could use to get editors to close the bold. We'll see if they come up with anything more. Some editors we've had a problem with have actually started closing the bold in the day or two... which is great since we really need them to keep creating articles. Of course one got blocked for 3 days. Now if we could only figure out a way to make it easier to correct the old articles we might have something. It's gotta be tough since it won't know just where to put the closing quotes. Since it's mostly bold maybe I'll at least make a keyboard macro for myself to plop in 3 quote marks with a single key. That won't help a lot but if I have to correct 50 markup errors in a single article it's 50 keystrokes rather than 150.

== Cast list and character descriptions on them ==

I saw your comments on the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film#Cast_lists_Yet_Again|WikiProject film section]], regarding character descriptions in cast sections. I do think that all cast sections in film articles should have character descriptions, but the problem is that various users like [[User:TheOldJacobite|TheOldJacobite]] and [[User:Masem|Masem]] only see it as redundant, which is isn't, and have been removing them in some articles like [[Die Hard 2]] and such. Thought I might let you know. [[User:BattleshipMan|BattleshipMan]] ([[User talk:BattleshipMan|talk]]) 06:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
: OK, but that's not the problem I was talking about. ''Whether'' the cast lists have descriptions is not my primary concern; it's how the list is formatted ''when'' it has descriptions.

Hello Dcljr,

I noticed yesterday that atj main page was erased by an admin; he just revert my last contribution and now the page disappeared. All these were done in good faith, I can tell. I need to train admins in a near future because of repeated block and weird reverts. I don't want to revert myself, I want him to do it. My adminship is ending in 3 days, that one of the reason why I'm [[:atj:Wikipetcia:Waskapiwin#Bureaucrate|asking for a permanent bureaucrate status]], and I hope "cowboy block&reverts" will end soon!

== Thank you very much ==

The [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals#RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC discussion to eliminate portals]] was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].

I'd also like to let you know that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain.  Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]], or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|project's members]] receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|here]], for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 08:59, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

== thanks for your help ==

Dcljr,

Thanks for your assistance in getting the placement of the periods in respect to the italics straightened-out.

I agree my egrep needs more flexibility to handle these kinds of errors. Case in point, on line 1821, the word 'On' is outside of the italics and my egrep needs massaging to handle it. (just fyi, line 1821 is the only line where 'on' appears outside of the italics. Best I can tell every other line that contains an End-of-Life sentence has the word 'On' within the italics brackets.)

And you are spot on that I am using the URL to cite the EOL statements. Are you aware of another source that has the End-of-Life dates? (apologies in advance if I just overlooked it).

Thanks,

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==

Hello, 

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. 

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. 

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. 

Thank you!

== Old pages needing attention ==

Greetings! Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Pages_needing_attention/Mathematics/Lists&diff=prev&oldid=992968907&diffmode=source this revert], I'm actually separating out the bot listings (which have been transferred to another bot) and working through the remaining manual listings. My goal is to turn all the subpages into redirects to [[Wikipedia:Pages needing attention]], which I've updated with links to active listings. (And I'm pulling forward any useful links from subpages.) Or to simply delete the subpages, which is what we typically do with obsolete bulk listings. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 03:07, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
: [[Special:Diff/992975221|Fair enough]]. I thought it was a one-off edit. - [[User:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[User talk:Dcljr#top|talk]]) 03:20, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

== Cold climate in MeSH headings ==

Please help me understand how [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_MeSH_codes_(G03)&oldid=prev&diff=995573192 this reversion] improves the encyclopedia. "Cold climate" is a superset of the concepts represented on the [[Cold climate]] disambiguation page - but you restored the <nowiki>{{dn}}</nowiki> tag indicating that disambiguation is needed on that MeSH page. To eliminate need for disambiguation, I had separated the terms into separate links - [[Cold]] [[climate]] - since any reader would then have a clear understanding of the context for each component term. How does your edit improve the page, and what do YOU think is the "intended topic" (since you invoked that in your edit summary)?  &mdash; [[User:soupvector|soupvector]] ([[User_talk:soupvector|talk]]) 21:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
:I now see that you self-reverted the restoration of the dab tag - so conceptually I share your view, but found the reversion a little off-putting. &mdash; [[User:soupvector|soupvector]] ([[User_talk:soupvector|talk]]) 21:04, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
