Racial profiling
Do you think the recent Mo Farah border problems should be added to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection criticism section? Pass a Method  talk  12:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Ohhh I don't know. I just dropped it in as it's quite interesting - perhaps it will cause controversy if it's included in the customs article. I really don't see why not, as he's internationally known and the events are widely covered in the media. Cnbrb (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * We will have to decide whether to attribute it to racial profiling or islamophobia. Pass a Method   talk  18:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That would really depend on how Mo Farah sees it - it's not up to us to attribute it to anything. Probably best leave anything like that and let the reader make their own deductions from the cited press reports. Cnbrb (talk) 19:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Born to Be King (Blackadder), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Selkirk (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Merge proposal for Black Adder template
Cnbrb,

I started a discussion of your template merge proposal at Templates for discussion/Log/2013 March 3. Template merges should not use the merge tags, but instead should be discussion at templates for discussion. Please comment at the link to explain why you feel these templates should be merged. Thank you, Ego White Tray (talk) 04:01, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi - thanks. sorry for using the wrong merge tag, wasn't obvious to me what was the correct procedure. Anyway I have commented. How long roughly should I leave it before it can be deemed consensus? I don't imagine it will be contentious but you know.... Cnbrb (talk) 13:17, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Welfare reforms, etc.
Hi, just to let you know, I've reverted your edits to Welfare Reform Act 2012 and Welfare state in the United Kingdom. I think there must have been a mistake in your figures. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. Source of the figures was here. I went through it and didn't spot any mistakes - why are they a "nonsense"? Did something not concur? Cnbrb (talk) 12:07, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * PS if you think it's the Guardian's reckoning that is problematic (there is some rounding of figures) then the DWP figures might be a better source? Most of the corresponding items are approximately right, but I'd be happy for the figures to be adjusted - there's a spreadsheet that covers it in more detail Cnbrb (talk) 12:24, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I can't access the Guardian figures (at work - no valid plugin), but maybe you were a factor of 1000 out? Million vs. billion?  --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:44, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh crap, that is a bit wide of the mark isn't it!! I must try harder. ;-) I'll not put anything back into the article just now, but here's a table below with a few corrections. If you'd like to see the data, there's a PDF version of the graphic too. There is some rounding up/down, which introduces some inaccuracy but I'm sure that could be corrected with a bit more research. Cnbrb (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2013 (UTC)


 * If the error was simply the million/billion slip, I'd add it back in. We can all go numberblind sometimes!  --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

TemplateData is here
Hey Cnbrb

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll give it a go! I'm just writing some experiemtal stuff at the moment but this may help. Cnbrb (talk) 09:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the thanks! It's refreshing to receive a message of gratitude! :-) Do please contribute - it's not widely covered but an interesting little niche. Cnbrb (talk) 14:28, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * This is great. Thank you! –&#32;

I'm thinking of sending this off for DYK but there is a couple of things that concern me that you need to add references to. The first is basically everything in the early history of the site and secondly the past and present location. Simply south...... fighting ovens for just 7 years 19:20, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh OK, thanks for letting me know. Maybe I need to dig around a bit more then, if I get time.... not to worry if it's not up to the mark though, I just thought it was an interesting subject. Cheers! 09:58, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
