Thank you

 * They've already proved their worth beyond doubt; one of our sharpest, most independently minded editors with an allmost impossible mix of coolness & conscientiousness. We've lost one of the few admins who retained some of the freewheeling, inclusive, frontier spirit that used to make wikipedia such a fun place to hang out. A sad day. FeydHuxtable (talk) 11:41, 10 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Wow thank you Andrevan@ 18:31, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Sorry to see your resignation and the circumstances that precipitated it. Thank you for your service to the project as an admin and bureaucrat over the years. Wishing you all the best, WJBscribe (talk) 11:34, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Will, hope all is well. I know the bureaucrats are in good hands if you are still around here. Andrevan@ 22:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't really know what happened, or whether it was justified or not, but you've always struck me as a good egg. Sorry this happened. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, likewise I've always known you to be a good egg. All the best. Andrevan@ 22:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your service from me as well. –xenotalk 03:16, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Happy to see a few old bureaucrats kicking around. Best,Andrevan@ 18:57, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I came in after a break but I see NeilN is still pulling shit abusive blocks, so I think I'll go away and do something else anyway. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:42, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for not losing it. Some noob cliques (with non-noob evil overlords) have taken to dirtytricks on wikipedia, basically maliciously trolling positive contributors and then copy-pasting where they see fitting to their narratives or interests. If you detect such cliques and anticipate their propensity for repeated reverting, it can be best to avoid any possibility of 3rr "violations" and subsequent "warring" by giving notice of your exemption to the three revert rule, in the description. Good to see you were not driven away after your YEARS OF GOOD WORK AND IMPROVEMENTS TO WIKIPEDIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.161.181.195 (talk) 04:11, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

A belated thank you from me, too. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:49, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Maroghini


A tag has been placed on Maroghini requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly 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 criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. StraussInTheHouse (talk) 15:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Maroghini for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Maroghini 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 Articles for deletion/Maroghini 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. StraussInTheHouse (talk) 18:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Please re-read WP:N
Please do not hijack redirects, as you did at Higi, for NN entries. You're creating more work for NPP without benefitting the community with a worthwhile article. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 19:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC) i
 * I've been watching this as well. I don't know whether I'd call it non-notable or not but I do think given the attention given to corporations, drafting the article in draft or userspace and bringing it over "completed" when replacing a redirect would help make the notability discussion clearer.

LOOP (programming language)
Dear Andre,

(1)
Thanks for correcting my bug in the predecessor program.

I had given the correct program in my update comment: LOOP x1 DO x0 = x2; x2 = x2 + 1 END,

My intention was to replace the assignment macro x0 = x2 by

x0 = 0; LOOP x2 DO x0 = x0 + 1 END.

Your correction is elegant.

(2)
You disapprove my remark "... one could initialize the variables xn, xn+1 and xn+2 (for a big enough n) to ..."

You are right, the remark is silly. It can be explanained as follows.

The article as I found it -- submitted on 10 April 2020 -- mentioned "subroutines". This is very informal, as LOOP-programs -- unlike BlooP -- have no subroutines.

When I edited the article on 26 April 2020, I continued on what I had found and took subroutines as given.

In reaction on my update AndrejBauer pointed out the initialization problems that are caused by the informal use of subroutines.

My subsequent remark was meant to point out to the reader that there is an issue about "subroutine", and that I have understood the problem which AndrejBauer had spotted.

The issue will be addressed in the near future. I will define subroutines ("functions") in the style of Machtey's "augmented Loop programs", but with the following two restrictions:


 * Unlike Machtey I do not want to enhance the Loop language. So "subroutines" will be macro's or pieces of inline code which can be expanded to LOOP-language at compile-time.


 * The "subroutine-elimination" must not increase the nesting degree of any LOOP(i)-program above the nesting i=0. (I mean, a LOOP(0)-program made subroutine-free may result in a LOOP(1)-program, but a LOOP(1)-program may not become a LOOP(2)-program.)

It is an easy task, but I want to define it properly.

My remark reflected my thinking process at that moment. We both agree that the remark is silly.

So please have some patience, I will fix the issue.

Greetings, Marc Schroeder Rotterdam
