Twinkle Bug
I'm assuming this is the place to come to where I can notify you of bugs in Twinkle.

Basically, I tried to revert this edit, which was by a user who had been testing. I failed to see that he had reverted himself, however. When I used the 'Rollback' tool, I was directed back to the talk page and given a window to warn the user with; however, I didn't actually roll back anything, presumably because the version I was reverting was the same as the last revision that I would revert to. I think that's a bug, as it went ahead and let me warn the user without notifying me that there had been nothing to revert.

If it isn't a bug, sorry for troubling you. Cheers! Master of Puppets Care to share?  04:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say it'a half a bug, the problem is that the current edit interface doesn't give any indication of progress/success. In a near future, the API will be enhanced with edit capabillity, and then it's easier to check if an edit succeeded or not. → Aza Toth 13:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, makes sense. Thanks for the speedy reply, by the way! :) Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share?  01:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe Twinkle issue?
(orig posted to WP:ANI but copied here FYI): I see from the thread "User:PresterJohn" above that the MfD for this is listed as a second nomination and there appears to be no first nomination. This happened to me earlier when I used WP:Twinkle to AfD Pick Me Up Magazine, was notified that there was already an existing AfD and forced to redirect. I also had to go round & change a couple of notifications manually. I still haven't found an original Afd but I believe it has been speedied in the past. Any idea if there's a problem here?
 * It has been suggested that this may be an issue for patrolled pages. Thanks. -- Rodhullandemu  (please reply here - contribs) 21:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:TwinkleARV - AIV.png
I uploaded a new version of the image since the new version has a different display (tabs, etc). I also changed the license. If you don't like it, it you can revert it if you want. --EoL talk 02:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Missing image Image:Kleiner Münsterländer.png
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Kleiner Münsterländer.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Kleiner Münsterländer.png is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Kleiner Münsterländer.png, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot (talk) 04:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

morebits
Have you given any more thought to using my morebits improvements? The revised code is still at User:Remember the dot/Sandbox. I am confident that it handles all cases, and it can be easily revised to handle more cases if more keywords are added to the Mediawiki software. —Remember the dot (talk) 02:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There are as I know following things added that isn't documented: baseline, middle etc..., 400x300px and optional spaces around values → Aza Toth 13:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Really, really
Don't edit User:Newyorkbrad's user page. He can do that himself if he likes. - Jehochman Talk 16:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You understand jokes right? → Aza Toth 16:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I don't. I just received a message from them that the banner is approved. - Jehochman  Talk 16:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I get the joke but it makes the page look icky. It also make looking at diffs difficult; I couldn't twinkle revert because it blocked out my window. —Cronholm144 16:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Username reporting
It's time to change Twinkle's username reporting functionality. The specific reasons have been removed from WP:U; that change has stood for a week without comment and had plenty of prior discussion. Certain kinds of usernames are no longer violations that might have been violations before. I suggest that the reasons, if there are going to be any, should be limited to the high-level reasons a username can be considered inappropriate, ("confusing, promotional, offensive, misleading"), plus a few reasons for preemptive blocking, like harassing or personal attack usernames, or usernames that fit the pattern of a known vandal or banned user.

 * Any response? Mango juice talk 22:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Will probably be done due to time requirements. → Aza Toth 11:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Parser functions
Hi, AzaToth. How are you? I hope everthing's fine with you. I'm having problems with the Template:Equipment of the Turkish Navy, i prepared almost a year ago. Although the contents was hidden at the beginning, now it shows the full contents list and clutters the pages where it's being used. Could you please help me on how to fix the template's show/hide status. Best wishes. E104421 (talk) 11:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Non-Admin RC Script
Voice of all said to ask you, because he changed the scripts over to yours but the script has broken and not working for me. Skitzo (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * More information needed. → Aza Toth 11:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

i installed his Non-admin RC javaScript, it was working fine until about a week ago when i messaged himfor info and he said "You should ask AzaToth about the different rollback types. The functionality should be there (I switched the script over to his a good while ago) since it was inspired by my old scripts." i have installed many different scripts to try and get it back, including 1 of yours i believe with no success. btw can you reply on my page please otherwise i may not notice your response due to edits after itSkitzo (talk) 23:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

"broken css "
regarding your comment on my talk, I'm sorry but you have to "translate" or show me a link that explains what you are talking about. all the best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 23:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * you have typed "font family", it should be "font-family" → Aza Toth 00:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Geonotice
Please excuse that I don't fully understand the technical aspect of this situation, but I just hope you haven't turned off something that was apparently working (at least until recently). Please see Village pump (technical). Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 04:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Holiday
Hi, I'm not sure if you're the right person to talk to but can I ask for the colour associated to Secular to be made something less dour? Something like Electric blue or Mustard would be nice, or if you want to stay with something more neutral maybe Beige. Thanks -- Boreas Talk 18:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

 * Hehe, every time twinkle breaks, or gets in the hot air, I get barnstars :) thanks. → Aza Toth 00:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, they are much deserved! - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Reverted you
Hi. You removed a backlink from the Rationale of the non-free Image:AGirlLikeMe2006.jpg. All rationales must have them (per WP:NFCC:10c), so I added it back. Did you remove it by mistake, or was there a reason that I should know about? I'm currently adding backlinks to a lot of bad rationales, so it would be better to know before hand if there's some reason not to add a backlink. Thanks, Storkk (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've just noticed, looking at your contribs, that you did this for a large number of them: where User:Polbot had added a link, you reverted. I'll stop re-adding them for a bit, since it seems this can't have been a mistake on your part... but could you explain why, please? --Storkk (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I looked around, and I now assume it's because of this, and the bot's edits were automatically reverted, without regard to their merit. I'll therefore assume that it's ok to add backlinks, and continue to do so. If I'm wrong, please let me know! Thanks, Storkk (talk) 16:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, I was asked to help revert a 15k edits by polbot, but I only made around 200 reverts. → Aza Toth 17:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:DeltaSigmaTheta.svg)
Thanks for uploading Image:DeltaSigmaTheta.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

re your warning at talk:Giano II
I am surprised that I have to remind such a long time contributor to not to template the regulars. I would also suggest to not make foolish threats as regards "personal attacks" on third parties; Tony Sideway is well able to answer for himself. LessHeard vanU (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle on Ubuntu: partial support?
Hello there AzaToth! First, I would like to thank you for making such a wonderful script. Twinkle has saved me precious seconds when making RFP requests, and since my watchlist is basically comprised of third-grade vandal targets, I've had to submit a lot of requests. Now, on to the problem. I recently installed Ubuntu Linux 7.10 and upon accessing Wikipedia, I noticed that the "restore this version", "revert (AGF)", "rollback" and "revert (VANDAL)" links were not above the diffs as usual. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.11. I can still warn users, request page protection (thank goodness) and the like, but those links are mysteriously missing. Thank you in advance and if this in the wrong place, please point me in the correct direction.  N F 24 ( happy holidays! ) 17:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * it should work just fine, as it's designed around ff. that it's ubunti wouldn't be a difference (my self is using debian). → Aza Toth 17:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle
Hi. I just tried to install your anti-vandal program, twinkle, per suggestion of "Master of Puppets". However, it hasn't worked. I see no new tabs. I did a hard refresh and everything. I use an old version of Mozilla Firefox. Can you help me out? --Kannie | talk 21:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not use rollback on legitimate edits. If you feel compelled to undo an edit and the matter is controversial, you must discuss it on the article talk page. This is particularly true when the edit you are reverting has been done by a fellow administrator, as failing to uphold proper decorum can lead to wheel wars and other miseries. HTH HAND. Geogre (talk) 15:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I had made a comment in the summary, but somehow it was gone. But in fact you where undoing an edit made by Jimbo, and I think that even more wrong than undoing the undoing you made. → Aza Toth 15:23, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please stop edit warring or you may be blocked. Do not revert again. Discuss with James or John Reid, or your own access to the channel may be removed. Giano (talk) 15:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh shit, but at least I will still have access to the real cabal channel. → Aza Toth 23:33, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * AzaToth, please strikethrough that epithet. Durova Charge! 23:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, it was just a joke, to play a bit with giano :) → Aza Toth 23:45, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sarcastic jokes are rarely productive, particularly when they're vulgar. Please set the standard and strikethrough as a gesture of goodwill.  Durova Charge! 00:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What was vulgar? → Aza Toth 00:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No let it stand, he thinks he's being clever. What a surprise is coming to all in that channel. Giano (talk) 00:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait a minute, Giano; are you seriously using access to an unsupported third-party IRC channel as a stick to get AzaToth to moderate his editing behavior on a Wikipedia page, in the Wikipedia namespace, hosted on Wikimedia servers? Does that not strike you as the least bit contrary to everything the encyclopedia is supposed to stand for, not to mention what the IRC channel is not supposed to be?

Quick note on your archives
Hi! Your archive notice at the top of this page seems to be a little screwy. It states that archives are currently going to /Archive_March_2007, when they're actually going to december's archive. Also, the bot isn't updating the index properly. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 17:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Ribbon request
I was wondering if you would be interested in making a ribbon for the new Socratic Barnstar. I would be most appreciative. Thanks! -- Shark face  217  05:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
