"undo this edit" in Popups
Hi!

The string "undo this edit" seems intranslatable. I added it to my translated version, as well as to your draft list of strings, however it remains in English. Where next Columbus? (talk) 19:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, fixed it myself. Hope my editing of the strings-draft isn't annoying - please tell me if that is the case. Still, the regexps for options popup{Dab,ImageVars,Stub}Regexp seem confusing to me - what exactly do they look for? Dab and stub detection don't work as advertised in the sv translation, so I'd like to translate them just to be complete. Where next Columbus? (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Translation for "mark patroled"
Please put "mark patroled" to translation text page, so that we can localize this term within another language's Wikipedia. Thanks. Vinhtantran (talk) 14:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Problem solved, I think, with the Anti-Vandal tool
Hello Lupin! I figured out why my rollback wasn't working even with the Pop-ups installed: the Pop-Up sript was disabled. Please put the following into your "installation guide":

Once that is done, go to your preferences. Go to the new "gadget" tab. Tick the box that says "Pop-ups" Click "Save Changes". After that, non-admin rollback works! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mister1nothing (talk • contribs) 17:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

query.php and api.php
If need arises, I have a version of Navigation popups that supports api.php User:TheDJ/apipopups.js It only uses the api.php where it previously used query.php and is backwards compatible. There is only a few small issues with imagepage content and detection of conflicts between images on commons and on en.wikipedia. But it works and if query.php is every disabled, it can be easily deployed here and in the Gadget version. I will be working on a slimpopups version that has as goal to replace the current gadget. It will be lighter to download, faster, use API wherever it can benefit and only support Wikipedia and current version mediawiki software. A lot of people are disabling popups Gadget because it has grown too big. The original idea was a good one, but for a gadget it is just too large --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Invaluable tool
Hi Lupin, I can't tell you how much your anti vandal tool is appreciated around here. You probably know that already, but I thought I'd add my personal thanks and perhaps a request:

Is it possible to make a modification to the tool so that it shows additions to ANI? I guess that would be a different tool, but it would be super-helpful to have something like that available to admins. I've taken a look at the code and quickly discovered modifying what you have is far above my head so I'm not going to try to do it myself. It sure would be useful. Thanks!

popups: disambiguation to a page with & in the name
Thanks so much for your excellent tool!

I noticed what may be a bug in the disambiguation feature. On the Michael Genari page, the SVU link should be disambiguated to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. When I hover and choose this option to disambiguate to, the text does not change and there is only a partial edit summary.

Thanks again! KathrynLybarger (talk) 14:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

One rainbow for you!
Without the help of the Lupin tool i would never, EVER have been able to revert vandalism in such an effective way as i am doing now. The little marvel helps wikipedia in an astonishing way, by making sure that every vandal fighter can revert vandalism quickly and easily. For this incredible tool, no star less then the Special Barnstar would be appropriate! -- Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 15:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Problem with admin rollback while using filter
Hi. I have been granted access to the admin rollback and while using the Lupin RC filter, sometimes the "no rollback link found" message still appears when I try to rollback using the admin only rollback. I would just use the non-admin rollback, but something is wrong with it and I'm now required to save my changes to pages manually.-- Urban  Rose  20:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It happened to me too.-- Antonio Lopez (talk) 03:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

yeah, I know you get a lot of these...
but I have a suggestion/request for your popups. Can you please make it/fix my pop ups to make it so I would have to hover my mouse over an article or picture link for 5 seconds before a pop up appears. In reality, pop-ups are the most annoying thing ever, but I still use it because of the wonderful diff previews and fast vandal reverts, but when reading an article, it is very annoying to have windows popping up just when casually sliding the mouse across the screen. Just for articles and image previews, could it be possible to delay the appearance rate for those, as I would not be reading all those articles, which sometimes get in the way when they don't disappear. I know some people may not agree with this, but would it be possible to just fix mine (copying the source code to jss), or tell me how to. I would be so immensely grateful. Thanks, whether you do it or not, -- penubag  11:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Why don't you try the available options first? Specifically, the very 1st option. (You're supposed to add that into User:Penubag/monobook.js) ∴ AlexSm 14:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Skegness-postcard.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Skegness-postcard.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

popups displaying images mentioned in edit summaries
When I hover over a link to a page history where one of the edit summaries contains a link to an image, the image is displayed (at its full resolution), rather than displaying a link to the image.

For example see and. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't - but it always happens when viewed from your special contributions. Feel free to use the latter page for testing of this if you wish. Thryduulf (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

This function would need an additional check that replaces  with. Unfortunately, this is a tad beyond my understanding of popups and regexps atm.. I'll try a couple of things. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Nav Popups Bug: Character encoding troubles
I discovered a bit of a bug when following links with funky characters in them. For example: Račak incident when moused-over gives an empty preview with the title RaÄak incident. Yet, if the link is to Racak incident which redirects to Račak incident, then it shows the re-directed preview just fine. Also, when on the page for Račak incident, links to footnotes render with the Ä character (and thus empty). I assume there's some encoding issue in there somewhere? Yuletide (talk) 00:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Makotoy recently found a fix for this. I'm testing it on my own personal version of popups here. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Lupin/alltalk

Bug in popups.js/autoedit.js
User:Lupin/popups.js (and User:Lupin/autoedit.js) contains a bug that breaks other scripts. It defines (or redefines, if it exists already) a global function getParamValue, but does so wrongly. The function should use decodeURIComponent instead of decodeURI. As it stands, it breaks on parameter values containing properly encoded characters. Caused me quite some headache over at commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-DelReqHandler.js, which didn't work as expected for one user, who also happened to include your popups script in his monobook.js. commons:MediaWiki:Common.js normally defines that function correctly, and it took me a while to find out why it didn't work anymore. I've worked around this bug, but it's probably still a good idea to get it fixed in your code. Lupo 08:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I wonder if this is related to the slightly higher mentioned "encoding char bug" that users on Safari are experiencing. Might be coincidence, might not be :D --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

WikEd compatibility
Hi, thank you very much for the Navigation popups; they help a lot. I have one small request: I have wikEd installed also, and when I use its in-page preview mode, the navigation popups won't work on the links in the preview region. Is there a possibility to rectify that? Maybe it's easier to modify wikEd instead; if so, let me know and I'll ask there. Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Popups may pop the wrong article up
Hover over this link: Shall We Dance? (2004 film) Notice how it behaves like you hovered over this link: Shall We Dance I believe the problem to be related to the question mark, which should probably be encoded like %3F. Shinobu (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggested improved to the RC filter
Would it be possible for a user to choose to disable the notifications that you have previously rolled back an editor from appearing for select users? I at times find that I have accidentally rolled back an admin or other vandal fighter and the RC filter becomes flooded with notifications that I have rolled back the editor.-- Urban  Rose  17:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Another RC patrol suggestion
There is a popups/recentchanges patrol conflict (at least in FF2.0.0.12/WinXP) because the link for "history" is sort of wrong; it includes the diff= and oldid= parameters.

In User:Lupin/recent2.js, in the function recent2.doLine, would you consider changing: linkmaker(bundle.article+'&action=history', 'hist') to: linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + bundle.articleTitle + '?action=history', 'hist')

I don't experience any problems with spaces, but one could also do: linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + bundle.articleTitle.replace(/ /g,'_') + '?action=history', 'hist')

Thanks for uploading Image:Wimbledon logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Proposed deletion of Dan Foord
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dan Foord, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image source problem with Image:Henry V Branagh.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Henry V Branagh.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 16:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Resonate
A tag has been placed on Resonate, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Bvlax2005 (talk) 09:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Google translation
I noticed Lupin's very comprehensive popup javascript in the Wikipedia documentation. I suspect it can be amended so that google toolbar-like translations of words and selected text can be achieved, by referencing the Google translation API itself, which provides an URL which will, upon request, translate up to 500 characters of information between any 23 supported languages.

If Lupin's script made an AJAX call to a wikipedia URL that reflected the request up to the Google translation URL then the entire Google translation feature would be available to Lupin's javascript.

The Wikipedia URL for this wouldn't be there now, but it would be a simple cgi script and quite easy to put together. With Lupin's popup javascript it could make word and selected text popup translations available to anyone who includes the script in their monobook.js

I have a web implementation of the idea at:

 * Endo999, for various reasons, Wikipedia will never dynamically mirror content from an external internet source, and as you're probably aware, most browsers will reject AJAX calls to other domains for browser security. As a result, it is unlikely that what you're suggesting could ever be implemented, especially as Lupin no longer performs any serious maintenance or development of his tools. haz (talk) 16:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I would like permission to use your breastfeeding photo
Hello, Evidently Wikipedia sayes that you rarely check this account but I want to try my best to contact you anyways! I would like your permission to use the breastfeeding photo on my doula blog as an illustration of a good latch. Here is my blog address sarahvine.wordpress.com/ and the article is called Preparing Mentally For Breastfeeding - While Still Pregnant. I'm going to link your photo anyways, but I'd totally prefer to have your consent so please contact me!

Please help!
Hi Lupin, I am in great need of help: I need the EastAngliaUnivShield.PNG‎ file redrawn in order to be used on the University of East Anglia article (current image = horrific quality). Your work in terms of the Cambridge colleges' coat of arms truly impressed me, so if you have time for a quick challenge and are eager to lend a help hand, I would be extremely grateful. Many thanks!

Your popups tool
I was just using your pop-ups tool and I notice there is an "Hide admin edits" function. I was thinking, as a suggestion to improve upon on the tool, what about a "Hide rollbackers edits" function? Those with the rollback function are trusted with the same function as an administrator in this part of Wikipedia and are often caught up with the bad word filter while they are reverting, so this function would help hide that.

"Monitor my watchlist" improvement suggestion
IME I get a lot of lines where it just says "updated..." over and over before it gets something of content.

As such, I suggest that if you ever *create* an updating/updated div, and the immediately preceding div is an empty updated div, delete that previous one.

I'm not sure how your script works, but you could e.g. tag empty divs w/ a 'empty' CSS class, and remove all divs by class when inserting the 'updating...' div.

Thanks!

AfD nomination of Leesa and Laura Andrew
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Leesa and Laura Andrew. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Leesa and Laura Andrew (2nd nomination).

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

UTF-8 problem with Konqueror
Hello,

today I tried out your Navigation-Pop-up-Gadget. I really like it, but it has a stupid bug. In German we öften use the umlauts and KDE/Konqueror displays everything in UTF-8 charset by default for internationalization. The problem is that the codes seem to be interpreted in the pop-up as ASCII-characters. I guess it is working over AJAX to grab the correct article from the server, but then it is searching for the wrong word in the wiki database. If I use your pop-up over articles with an umlaut or szlig it shows the string "/* Empty */" as article text. Do you think you can fix that UTF-8-character problem?

This bug is still there (non-ascii letters show up as Latin 1 - values of their UTF-8 parts for popup.js), on Nynorsk Wikipedia this nice popup is part of the general settings repertoire. Better than having individual users downloading individual fixes it seems that adding User:Auxerroisdu68 to the popup script wherever it appears. Trondtr (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC).
