Comments on Purple Dot in Magnetic Sail
Hi,

Still trying to understand your comment regarding the "purple dot" in magnetic sail. It may be that your browser and/or its settings may not be compatible with the animated GIF used in the illustration, which I changed to animation. If you are seeing only the first image in the animation sequence, then your comments make more sense to me. I changed illustration to animationand summarized the sequence of images with colors and descriptions of the images.

A few questions to help me better understand your issue. Are you seeing an animation, or just a static "purple dot?" What happens when you click on the image? Dmcdysan (talk) 16:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I see an animation; I do not remember seeing it before, but that's not the point. My complaint is that, sans parenthesis or at least comma, the illustration is presented as a defining feature of the drive.  It's the difference between "Persons listed below are eligible" and "Persons fitting [description], listed below, are eligible." —Tamfang (talk) 21:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for confirming that you see the animation. I believe that more than a comma or parentheses is needed and a more extensive wording change is needed. I will make another attempt to address your point and post to the magnetic sail talk page. Dmcdysan (talk) 20:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Undoing a series of disruptive edits
You asked about undoing a series of bad edits. This is how
 * 1) Use the View history tab to identify the last good version and the last of the disruptive edits, then Compare versions
 * 2) Use either the [restore this version] on the left pane or the undo on the right.

If editing on mobile it is a bit more painful but essentially you choose the history tab too but then you select the last good version and do a null edit on that.

If you need to do it a lot, you might want to request WP:ROLLBACK privilege. I've never bothered. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I was given Rollback long ago (unrequested), but the series in question did not include the last edit, so no rollback. —Tamfang (talk) 17:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
