Change to Common.css
Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Wikipedia editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Wikipedia articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata. More specific instructions can be found on the Persondata page. -- ShakingSpirit talk  on behalf of Kaldari 00:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

spoiler tags
I notice you added spoiler to Mr. Brooks. See this for a rationale against them. Cheers, —EncMstr 17:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

TT:ITN
Please note that if you put anything onto a page that is a redirect, it is unlikely to be seen. I only spotted your edit of this morning because Template talk:In the news is on my watchlist; the active talk page is at Wikipedia talk:In the news (or WT:ITN if you are as slow a typist as I am). As to the content of your post, it would actually be more appropriate at WP:ERRORS, without the editrequest template.

A difference between UK and US English is that teams are usually treated as a plural noun in UK English, and so where I am it is quite usual to say "England win". We normally try for a blurb on ITN that better complies with WP:VNE: the admin who posted this particular blurb has been invited to change it, or explain his reluctance to do so, at WP:ERRORS, but he seems reluctant. Perhaps you would like to join in there. Kevin McE (talk) 13:41, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

William J. Boarman
Hi, CMG -- I see you added some info and a photo to "William J. Boarman." I know that previous people in the position of "Public Printer of the U.S." were referred to as "The Honorable....," and that title was used at the top of the info box. I'm curious as to whether the fact that he was a recess appointee by the President changes that fact, and that is why you did not use it. Is that the case? Thanks in advance for educating me! (I was going to add "The Honorable," but then thought I had better ask!!!! NearTheZoo (talk) 20:40, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
This is, of course, for this edit, in case there was any doubt. 98.82.177.254 (talk) 17:47, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
