A bowl of strawberries for you!

 * ha. I did reply to your email before I resumed editing. :) - NQ (talk)  10:36, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Other accounts


Hi NQ, I'd prefer to keep discussion of your accounts here. I can't review those edits from months ago as the sandbox was deleted (and I don't have deleted page access permission) and the talk page oversighted (and that's way above my pay grade). So, it appears that I was assuming you were the IP editor of the oversighted edit. From the undo chronology it appears you undid the IP, so I was incorrect, sorry. Why didn't you disclose your account before getting involved in that, and do you have additional accounts? Widefox ; talk 07:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, so here is what happened. I was travelling at the time and made a random account to test some scripts for others at WP:VPT. While logged in, I saw an outing attempt on Greg’s talk page which I reverted immediately and reported to the OS team via Ticket#2015092510023054 and Ticket#2015092510023171. Since I was on a break, I saw these warnings only now and left you a note. - NQ (talk)  10:12, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thx. Regards Widefox ; talk 10:15, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Parameter changed
You may have noticed that two of your userpages are presently in Category:Fix. This is because that category is used temporarily to track deprecated usage of a certain parameter.

On User:NQ/nqup.css please replace the 1 instances of "icon_nr" by "sortkey", and your pages will disappear from that tracking category and template usage will be optimized. Debresser (talk) 11:05, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note, Dovid. - NQ (talk)  01:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Script problem
Because you were so helpful in resolving my last technical problem, I thought you might be able to help me with this one. See here. The culoghelper script is no longer working. I can't remember the last time I used it, but I'm fairly certain it was before I started using Chrome. I'm wondering if this problem is also Chrome-related. Any ideas? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:32, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * unfortunately I have no way of checking this since it requires the CU permission to view Special:CheckUserLog where the script works. You'll have to ask another CheckUser who has this script installed. I did however find User talk:Amalthea/Archive 7 where ran into the same issue with Chrome years ago.  - NQ  (talk)  15:50, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem as described by AGK in 2012 is exactly the problem I have. Unfortunately, there apparently was no resolution to it other than not to use Chrome. I'm trying to get away from Firefox, although I could still use it. There is a workaround in Chrome, but it entails extra steps. I don't think you have to be a checkuser though for the script. Amalthea is an administrator but not a checkuser. Do you know any admins who are script-knowledgeable and use Chrome?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:13, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps could take a look at the script? Or you could leave  a note on his talk page, he is fairly quick to respond to messages. Also pinging,  and  who has the script installed. - NQ  (talk)  16:32, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I no longer have access to CU, and was using Firefox back when I wrote the script. I assume I did /try/ it in Chrome when AGK approached me, but it's been a few years so I'm no longer sure about anything. :) My /guess/ is the problem is with Date.parse in Chrome. How exactly are those timestamps listed in the log? Amalthea  20:11, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * 07:36, 8 April 2011. And it's not hyperlinked, which of course is the main problem. As an aside, I was fairly certain you used to be a CheckUser, but when I looked at your rights management, I never saw it given to you or taken away. I've seen that problem before, but I don't remember why it occurs sometimes and not others. Is it because it doesn't happen en-wiki?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:17, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, that seems to be indeed the problem, if I run  on Chrome I'm getting 'NaN'. I'll try and figure out what's going on there tomorrow -- but wouldn't mind someone else fixing the problem in the meantime. ;) And yes, see Meta for the user right changes.  Amalthea  21:08, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I've just changed the date parsing logic in User:Amalthea/culoghelper.js to make it independent of browser quirks, but this is still pretty horrible. Could you please take a minute to test it? Maybe play around with your date appearance and timezone settings, too? :) If its not working it might be easiest to have someone with access to the page debug it -- User:Timotheus Canens comes to mind. :) Cheers, Amalthea  10:46, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing changed at my end. I didn't play around with my settings because I wasn't sure if you wanted me to do that only if it worked or what exactly you wanted me to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:46, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the change broke it for even Firefox. What I know about javascript would barely fill a thimble, so I don't have a clue what's wrong, though. —DoRD (talk) 14:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, could you try once more? I tested it best as I can without having access to a log page. If it still breaks in Firefox please revert; In that case I'll either need the page source of an inconspicuous log page, or someone else needs to fix it. Ping Bbb23, DoRD. Amalthea  19:08, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Now works for me as designed. Keeping my fingers crossed as to DoRD. Thanks!--Bbb23 (talk) 19:42, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it still works for me as well. Thanks, Amalthea. —DoRD (talk) 19:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, happy to help. And thanks NQ for letting us use your talk page. :p Amalthea  08:41, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Why, of course! My talk page is now prime real estate on Wikipedia. - NQ (talk)  12:58, 20 June 2016 (UTC)


 * haha thanks! do realize I merely pointed you to an earlier version of the script and did absolutely nothing else, right? - NQ  (talk)  11:08, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Uh oh, the recent change broke the script for you, Ponyo? Amalthea  15:55, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * , there's a conflict somewhere, but reverting back to the old script works fine.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:57, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

What is my promotion? Foleo (talk) 02:27, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, a block. - NQ (talk)  03:32, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you. I guess I'll accept this for the but the script authors deserve all the credit. - NQ  (talk)  04:16, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks
I greatly appreciate your help with the "fl." issue.... Thanks so much for your kindness. Alan Charles Kors - 98.115.14.78 (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

 * Happy to help. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to convince you to edit more often. ;) - NQ (talk)  20:23, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism
Can you please explain why my latest piece of information on Old Hill railway stationn is vandalism. Cheers :D

 * Clearly because by telling readers to get a ticket 'further down the line' you are encouraging fare evasion.
 * Or do you think it could have been " ...struggles with anything beyond a peak ticket between 'X and Y"? Muffled  Pocketed  16:16, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I see, I had not realised that "further down the line" was encouraging fare evasion but I am aware of that now. By saying " ...struggles with anything beyond a peak ticket between 'X and Y" is the literal truth, for it took 35 minutes to renew an 'n train term plus season ticket' last year with Dave. So if I include no truths and only facts I would be eligible to continue editing? My apologies, Lewis C — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lewis C (talk • contribs) 16:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If you add verifiable facts which are bached by third party, independent, reliable sources, and not trivia about some character who would doubtless be having a cup of tea than selling you season tickets, then yes. Muffled Pocketed  16:45, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I have talk page watchers? - NQ (talk)  22:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Too right. When edits [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Old_Hill_railway_station&action=history&offset=20160915160000&dir=prev&limit=14 like these] show up on my watchlist, I go off to see what else the perp has been doing. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
