I need your help
Hi Headbomb,

I hope that you remember me :-)

I have a problem :-( Some Wikipedian reverted my 7 consecutive edits, then restored only one. These edits took me a lot of time and effort. Were they all wrong? Really? Could you please take a look at them? Vikom talk 03:08, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I suggest discussing this on the talk page. I have no opinion at the moment. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Bimetric gravity anon is back at Talk:Jean-Pierre Petit
I don't think it's Petit himself; their walls of text have more of a "biggest fan" feel. But anyway, because they're now just out-and-out lying about what I've said in the past, I figured it was a time for ANI. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 20:55, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

BRFAs
Hi. I see that you appear to be currently only - when you have a few minutes, can you take a look at the current BRFAs that are open? I have 2 that have finished trials, and 2 more that haven't started them, and a few more lined up (I didn't want to file them all and overwhelm the process) - if you could take a look I'd be grateful. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 03:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

You might be interested in Reliable sources/Noticeboard. (For clarity: This is purely FYI – all "You might appreciate some of the information here, whenever you have five minutes to glance at it", and not "Please stop doing more important things and join this conversation".)

User:Randykitty/monobook.js
Hi, could you have a look at this file when you have a moment? I have popups selected in my preferences, so I think some of this stuff could (or should) be removed, but I'm pretty helpless with this... Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 13:48, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ask at WP:VPT. I'm not very good with scripts. User:DannyS712 and User:TheDJ usually are though. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:16, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Will do. Seeing that even you are challenged here, too, makes me feel less inadequate... :-) --Randykitty (talk) 14:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Thanks! And concerning, the 'attempted fix' means the bot tried to fix the link, and failed to do so. Meaning this is something that can't just be fixed by a running a generic bot on it, and needs human review. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:59, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

bioRxiv
Hey there, Headbomb,

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the edits on the bioRxiv wiki page. I do appreciate the entire community effort. I wanted to let you know that I'll be re-entering the data that was removed on December 12, 2018. As the product lead for the bioRxiv project, it's my responsibility to keep the list up to date. (Yes, I know it might be unwieldy for the general public to maintain that list, but heck, it's just one of the job responsibilities I have when we add or remove a journal from the list of participating publishers.

... hehe, now I just have to research how to revert that list. (Is there a quick way I can restore that list?)

Thanks for all your support

 * , you might want to read WP:COI to see if it applies to you. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but better safe than sorry. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:11, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I doubt that's a great idea. The list was getting too long to be useful, and a summary of how many journals is, IMO, better than an exact listing (which is still provided as a reference, for those interested in finding out which journals support biorxiv). I suggest bringing this to Talk:bioRxiv for more widespread discussion. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:56, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Citation bot at WP:AN
I started a thread at the administrator's noticeboard to try to find a way forward with this, and would welcome your participation there, due to your involvment in botty matters generally, as well as Citation Bot in particular.  Uninvited Company 17:38, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Just clarifying
Hey I hope my RS noticeboard post didn't come off like I was just complaining about your work or something. I sort of assumed that sourewatch worked the same way as WP:RSP. My bad for haphazard reading. Nblund talk 18:19, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh not at all! I don't expect people to know the exact details of how everything works, or claim the current state is anywhere near complete. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:15, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
