A Note on threading:
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply. Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to. please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy |

Request for helpWould you mind looking at the prose at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Constitution of May 3, 1791/archive4? Although it has been reviewed by several copyeditors, there's a request that you (or Erik) specifically take a look, as the editor requesting your review believes no-one else is capable of helping, and thus justifies his objection. I am sure you are busy, but I'd appreciate your help here, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:08, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
DYK nomination of Robert M. BondHello! Your submission of Robert M. Bond at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Thincat (talk) 20:16, 3 June 2014 (UTC) Sorry about this template-speak. I was looking for an article to review and was really glad I found yours! My only question is about the QPQ review requirement. Do you need to do one or have you done one? Misplaced Pages:Did you know. I'm a bit of a novice at DYK so I don't know how to do a proper check. The actual review was fine. Best wishes. Thincat (talk) 20:16, 3 June 2014 (UTC) I've been looking some more and can't find reference to Sadat and the MIG-23 in Davies, page 72. I can see something here and 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron gives this as a reference but I can't access it. I don't think it is any sort of a problem for DYK but it would be good to sort out. Ah! I've just found I can see from a snippet that it is stated on page 73 of Davies (searching on "Egypt") but I can't read that page (I can see 72)! Thincat (talk) 21:05, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Crinan, ArgyllI am pretty certain this article should be Crinan, Argyll and Bute which is a redirect. I'm sure we use present counties but I'm not sure how to fix it as Misplaced Pages's workings remain a mystery to me. I think you are a Scot, can you help? J3Mrs (talk) 11:35, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Erskine FerryHi John. I'm in work at the moment. I was wondering if you could check the Erskine Ferry page for us and then clean up the bare url's. My Pc wont let me at the minute. It's annoying me knowing they are like that. Thanks for your help. --Discolover18 (talk) 12:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Kronan-thanksThank you for commenting Kronan FAC. I really appreciate all the helpful pointers. Peter 16:36, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
User QuackGuruGreetings! Do you mind taking a look at QuackGuru's most recent edits after his block expired? Here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Traditional_Chinese_medicine&diff=611727162&oldid=611632570 As you can see from the edit history, he reverted edits that were already approved by 7 different editors. I restored the version that was following the consensus and clearly stated my edit summary as follows: . There were 7 different editors who approved the version before QuackGuru's revert per Misplaced Pages:Consensus Flowchart. Now he has reported me to Kww at User (talk): Kww. Thanks in advance!

According to WP:CON:
As one can see from the Revision history, the edit by user Bexgro enjoyed consensus per WP:CON for edits by 7 different editors until QuackGuru's revert. If I am interpreting the WP policy wrongly, I'd appreciate to be corrected. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 19:03, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Scottish mythology templateHi John, I noticed you were just editing the Scottish mythology template - I was going to ask Eric about it later as I was trying to add it to a couple of articles this morning. I couldn't work out how to get it to be in a 'collapsed' state, although I did eventually work out how to add Kelpie, Water bull etc to it. Obviously it was just far too early for my brain to be working but it still doesn't seem to have kicked into gear so could you tell me what I need to add to collapse it - if it's possible, please? SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC) PS: Thanks for your edits to the Kelpie article!
PONY!Pony!
Editor I blocked for post at Talk:Frank CalvertI didn't see your warning when I blocked him - after discussion with another sysop who had warned him some time ago. If you want to unblock I won't wheel war obviously, but given the discussions on his talk page I think it was warranted. Dougweller (talk) 08:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
The word Other is vague and possibly original research
The source says" Some psychologists, however, say the test has already lost its popularity and usefulness." The edit you made was not an improvement and thus reverted. QuackGuru (talk) 18:16, 8 June 2014 (UTC) |
