The Redemption of Althalus
Heya! do you want to overhaul The Redemption of Althalus alone, or is it okay if I still work on it, since you put up that note? --HawkS DisQ 09:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Didn't know you were working on it (I took it on because it's tagged for copy edit). You're welcome to it; I'll pick another article.  All the best, --Wi2g (talk) 14:08, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, cool :) have fun, --HawkS DisQ 15:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The Kite PDF problem
Hi. I just saw your note on the March Drive's talk page and have done a little investigation. McAfee Site Advisor notes no problems with drachen.org. I've downloaded the two PDFs and scanned for viruses - McAfee finds none. Both PDFs open without problem on my PC, both in Acrobat Reader 10 and in IE8.

It seems you may have had an unfortunate glitch, and it seems a crying shame to waste all the work you've done. Is there anything I can do to help? I don't want to take over and complete the copyedit, but if there are some specific edits you'd like made, or checks done, that would enable you to complete your work, just let me know what and where, and I'll be glad to help.

Regards, --Stfg (talk) 10:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, and for the troubleshoot; I wonder if it's a Firefox thing. Anyway, after I finish the article I'm working on (which should be today) I'll go back to it--just won't open any more .pdf links in the text. It's unnerving when you click the mouse and the computer crashes (not to mention losing a bunch of edits!). Wi2g 15:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, very unnerving and annoying. It could be some interaction between Firefox and Adobe, perhaps (those PDFs have a lot of images in them). I hope you get no further crashes. When you've finished the copyedit, if you like, let me know and I'll go check whether the PDF links in it all open safely. --Stfg (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks again; I'll do that! Should be done with it in two or three days. Wi2g 18:12, 13 March 2011 (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 isa 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) 19:54, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
