Crypto classification
Hi, and thanks for your classification of various crypto pages! Good stuff. One thought, though, is that if an article is in, say, Category:Block ciphers, it doesn't explicitly need to be placed in Category:Cryptographic algorithms, because block ciphers are a subcategory of cryptographic algorithms; we can just delete the latter category. Thanks again! &mdash; Matt 07:56, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Type 1 encryption
I've made some comments at that page's discussion. I like what you are doing, but suggest a different organization. Best, --agr 03:19, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

1 week block for that A.J. Jacobs loser vandal. Thank user Taxman.Gator (talk) 17:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Aesthetics
Yeah, thanks, I still suck at wikification and copyediting, and a huge section of the links had changed names since yesterday and no longer worked, you'd think African Art would redirect to African art but no ... Thanks Bmorton3 20:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Progressive animation
Given that the AfD on Progressive anime has now closed and that article has been deleted but not Progressive animation, it would probably be a good idea to list Progressive Animation in its own AfD. -- Daduzi  talk  15:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

One-key MAC
Hi Inkling. I saw you reverted my edit to the One-key MAC article. You commented your revert with 'Reverted - we use "an NIST recommendation" rather than "a NIST recommendation" because NIST is pronounced "en eye ess tee".'. And I see what you mean so no problem.

However, you also reverted my addition to the first sentence of the article: "In cryptography, OMAC (One-key MAC) is" -> "OMAC (One-key MAC) is". Was that an accident or don't you like that we mention what area an article belongs too? I thought that was common encyclopedic style. Of course there are many other ways to mention what general area an article is about in the first paragraph. The word "cipher" in the same sentence should make it fairly clear to most people that happens to stumble on that page. But I like to have a link to the main article of the subject and thus also the name of the area in the first paragraph.

By the way, you can respond here, I put other's talkpages on watch when I write on them. --David Göthberg 19:04, 21 September 2006 (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) 19:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
