Essay

Very nice. Do you want to volunteer for any other British colloquialisms? WP:TRIPE, WP:TWADDLE and WP:BOLLOCKS spring to mind, and that is just me, neglecting the extensive Malleus lexicon. Yikes, preview tells me we already have something for WP:BOLLOCKS Might need a rethink there but I need to read it first.- Sitush (talk) 00:42, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

"Put up or shut up" is not a "British colloquialism". Take your false equivalences elsewhere, please. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:11, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

User recovery template

Oh, now i get it. its shorthand for including this paragraph, to save typing. for some reason, this wasnt obvious to me, now it is. sorry i didnt catch that. i havent seen the template function used in this manner before. I was thinking about userboxes indicating a person is an advocate for personal recovery, and just couldnt see what this was for. thanks for helping.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:32, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 07:39, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Your edits to Help:Infobox

In this edit, you stated "use a more up-to-date infobox example". But both Norwegian Elkhound and Norwegian Lundehund use the same {{Infobox dog breed}}, so how can one be more up-to-date than the other? -- DanielPenfield (talk) 00:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Because the example is a static image of the infobox, and {{infobox dog breed}} has been completely rewritten between the first and second images being taken (which is why the output looks so different). That the dog breed depicted in the two differs is incidental (I happened to have the Lundehund page loaded in a different tab at the time).

AH problems

Problems have come to my attention as a result of the AH move you "proposed" a couple months ago. As a matter of formal record, in that discussion you promised to address and fix any issues that may arise. Please provide as soon as possible your plan to address and fix all issues. Thank you. Gimmetoo (talk) 14:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

This? That's a social rather than a technical problem. Gerda Arendt prefers that your bot use the template's new name, and you don't; either actually works perfectly well. or are you referring to a different problem? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Are you not aware of the problems surrounding this template? Please provide as soon as possible your plan to identify, address and fix all issues. Tbank you. Gimmetoo (talk) 15:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Who exactly do you think is going to consider this deliberately obtuse "communication" as a good-faith effort to report problems? Either explain what the problem is or point to where it's been highlighted. If you do neither, I wouldn't expect any reasonable third party to consider me to have reneged on my promise. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking of edits such as this which I am sure you are aware of, because it's one of your edits. Gimmetoo (talk) 16:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

So far as I can see the template is still working exactly as planned in that revision (and in the current revision of the same page). So what's the actual problem, and how is it impacting on the project? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Moving talk page

Dear Chris, on Nov 16th, you moved Preference tests (animals) to Preference test. Unfortuantely, the Talk page was not also moved at the same time. I do not know how to do this, and I believe this requires administrator status. Please can you assist.__DrChrissy (talk) 19:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Moving the talk page would not require admin rights, as talk:preference test is currently empty. However, I'm not actually sure the article had a talk page at its old title to be moved: are you sure that one existed? I've checked both the deletion logs and our contributions lists from that period and can't find any reference to such a page. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: San Francisco burrito

I removed the drive-by tagging. I would be happy to help "rewrite" the article to meet any concerns you might have, but you will have to detail them on the talk page. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 00:22, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

"Notable taquerias"? Really? Simply removing that section would probably do the trick. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:00, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

The section is sourced and these taquerias are world-famous. The only problem with this section at the moment is that it is somewhat narrow in scope. In other words, it needs expansion. I see that you are currently in Scotland. Are you aware of the history of the San Francisco burrito and its importance in California culinary history? It has an entire subculture.
