Souvlaki (2005 Castle Music re-issue) suggestion
Just a suggestion. Since Souvlaki (album) already includes the 2006 re-release, is there anything so special about Souvlaki (2005 Castle Music re-issue)? I think we should copy anything new over and make it a redirect. Respond on my talk page if you could. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Good suggestion. I went ahead and made the changes. -- J_Tom_Moon_79 (talk) 05:03, 4 June 2009 (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'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. 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) 22:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

TNS
The reason was "-extlink with no specifically related bluelink". The TNS article, as with most wikipedia list articles, is only for pointers to actual wikipedia pages, and wikipedia is definitely not a directory of companies or other off-wiki items. Transaction Network Services is not an article (it's a redlink). DMacks (talk) 19:48, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

J_Tom_Moon_79 (talk) 23:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, there is no Wikipedia article about Transaction Network Services. So it makes sense not to include it in the acronyms.

Disambiguation link notification for December 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Adamantine (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.

Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR references
Hi. I really don't understand what you mean by "joke edits" and "snarky cites". All the edits I've done to Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR were in good faith, and none of them were quips. I can also assure you that I'm not annoyed. Besides, I never addded any references to that specific article. All of those were added by other people. Seeing as I don't see a proper reason to remove that reference, I reinserted it.  —♦♦ AMBER  (ЯʘCK)  07:58, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I mistakenly attributed revision 547001531 by User:Keitsist to you. My apology. Sorry about that mistake.

Your userpage
Hey, just passing by to mention that your userpage has a category "Infobox templates" that I thought wasn't supposed to be there. Not sure if this was on purpose or an accident. Yatalu (talk) 07:53, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

@Yatalu Fixed. Thanks.

Replaceable fair use File:Jana McCall (self portrait).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jana McCall (self portrait).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:38, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

@Stefan2 I added File:Jana McCall, music artist, self portrait.jpg. Hopefully that's acceptable. 03:52, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Your edits to Erin Pizzey
Hi! Erin Pizzey is English, and the article should use English spelling - see MOS:TIES. This edit, for example, was wrong. Please would you correct your mistakes? Thanks. Philip Trueman (talk) 04:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of UJML


The article UJML has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:NSOFT and WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dates
I noticed your edits at PuTTY where date was added. The template documentation includes This template should only be used internally in other templates. I do not think that template should be used in articles as it just clutters the wikitext. Is there a reason to use it? Johnuniq (talk) 01:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

t your understanding as well, Johnuniq?
 * Oh wow, I did not see that section of the date page. Thanks for letting me know.  If I understand correctly then

 * Yes, a template might need to use date. It is hard to find examples, but there is one at Template:Educational assignment which includes:
 * I believe that usage is typical. There is a  parameter which someone can enter using any convenient format (1 April 2019 or April 1, 2019 or 2019-04-01 or more) and date will apply a specified format to that so the date is displayed in a standard way. There is no reason to use date in an article, and the clutter means it should not be so used. Johnuniq (talk) 05:12, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

 * I use in all  templates (examples in my contributions).
 * Johnuniq, do you know offhand if there is an in-article template for a date? As a date will vary by the reader's calendar locale.
 * 01:40, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Have you noticed that dates at Wikipeda are not in a template (except for sortable tables)? The documentation at cite web has examples showing the date, and nowhere does it say to put a date in a template. Dates from references are reported as written in the source. Generally timezones do not matter because the exact time something occurred is rarely of encyclopedic importance. When it does matter (say if reporting the time a tornado hit a particular location), the time is given with fixed text (no template) and the timezone as reported in reliable sources is included. Asking at WP:HELPDESK would confirm that you should not put dates in templates. In general, timestamps at Wikipedia are given in UTC although there are some scripts which a logged-in user can enable to translate UTC times to a local time. Dates should not vary according to a reader's locale. Johnuniq (talk) 05:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
