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) 19:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Are you really "short-sighted"?
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed a userbox on your page which identifies you as "short-sighted" with a wikilink to Myopia. I can't tell whether this is a joke, or a result of imperfect understanding of English idioms. People with myopia are commonly referred to in the US as near-sighted. Short-sightedness refers to a failure to consider the future implications of a present act or condition (something Ayn Rand certainly would not have approved of! :-)

I don't think this can be easily changed without reprogramming the userbox, which is above my pay grade. You might want to pass this along to the creator of the userbox. JustinTime55 (talk) 15:12, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, again. I see the joke's on me! I was unaware of the British English usage of shortsighted. Can you just tell me one thing, though: what do you call someone who isn't concerned with the future? (BTW: I, like you am myopic, and a recovering ex-Objectivist.) JustinTime55 (talk) 17:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
