Stub sorting
Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types instead of using simply, if you can.

Thanks!

 * That's fine. I was just pointing it out in case you weren't aware. -- Anguis 01:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hi. I've recently found a number of edit summaries on my watchlist starting with "AWB assisted ...".

Starting your edit summary with a link promoting some software makes it slower for me to scan my watchlist. It's also frustrating because I can't even run Windows software on my computer, so it feels a bit like you are spamming my watchlist (no offence intended). Would you mind setting your AWB software so that it doesn't add the promotional link to the edit summary, or at least so it puts it at the end, like "... using AWB"?

If you don't mind, would you also leave a note for the developers whether you agree with me or not, at talk:AutoWikiBrowser? Thanks, Michael Z. 2006-02-20 05:28 Z 

Order of stub tags
I've noticed on a number of articles you have placed the stub tags after the categories (for example, see Trust the Saint). I was told that this is against WP:STYLE and that the tags have to come before the Categories as the Categories should be the last part of the page coding (except for the foreign language links). Has WP:STYLE changed? 23skidoo 19:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Lee asked me to look at your comment. I'm not aware of any such requirement and I didn't find it on a brief review of the style guidelines.  I asked on the admins channel and nobody else is aware of this "guideline" either.  In any case, since Category tags do not render, it is really not very relevant what order they're in.  Finally, putting stub tags after categories is the default behavior of AWB, and I very much doubt that AWB would be recommending edits that are actually contrary to established policy.  I suspect whoever told you that was presenting a mere personal preference as if it were a guideline.  Kelly Martin (talk) 19:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary
I've noticed that you've left totally inaccurate edit summaries using that fancy software. Please make sure that it's leaving summaries that reflect what's actually going on. CovenantD 22:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just noticed it changed yet again. They all should say "clean up using AWB" and nothing else.
