Balaibalan
The translation so far is of "finished in five minutes with time to spare"-quality and the original didn't have any more information about conlanging in the renaissance. If you find any, put it in. Though, Norw. wikipedia is a bit weird with its use of "planspråk" (planned language) for conlang. It's of course not done yet, needs cleaning up and a stub-tag before it is released in the wild, and then anti-AfD-insurance until Balaibalan gets its proper place in the spotlight :) --Kaleissin 21:37, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Distinguo
Hi. Thanks for your comments at Talk:Distinguo. I am  not  in  any  way  connected with  Distiguo, nor do  I  have any  particular technical  knowledge of how semantic search  actually  works except  for in electronic dictionary  apps. Your experience is obviously much  broader than mine - please feel free to make the changes you  suggest, and to  incorporate the interesting additional information  you  provided in  your talk  page comment. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 09:34, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Dempster-Shafer Theory
Hi, only the last line of criticism was mine. I wish people would sign their contributions properly. I'll have a look at the revamped page some time this week, I hope. I am rather busy since a new term of university has just started... Incompetnce (talk) 10:36, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keeping comments separate: Agreed!  However, even when people neglect to sign their comments, you can - as you did here - begin your comments as a new section, using the "==" shorthand; or - as I am now doing - add my comments as an indented comment under a previous comment, using the colon ":" to indent.
 * I hope you don't mind; I'm changing this section heading to read "Dempster-Shafer Theory". Are you wondering why?  Just google "D-S Theory" ... ;-)
 * If you want to separate your comments from the preceding comments, you could, even now, edit the Talk page for Dempster-Shafer Theory, and insert a section header, e.g. Dempster's Rule not analogous to Bayes' rule, above them.

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) 18:56, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Requesting review of VisualLangLab
Hi, I created the VisualLangLab article that describes an open-source parser-generator with the same name, and am writing to request a review of the article.

The parser-generator itself is something that I created, so there is an obvious conflict of interest, but I have stated the fact that I created the software on my user page.

Thank you very much for any help.

The VisualLangLab Article
Hi Yoyo,

I really love the way the article is organized now. Thank you very much for your help.

Your kind words about the software itself are also very encouraging. I hope to keep making improvements to the software, and will update the article whenever there is something new to report.

Thank you and best wishes again.

Sanjaydasgupta54 (talk) 03:04, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks again for your additions to the VisualLangLab talk page. I know of a few more secondary sources, and will tag them on as well.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you.

Red links
Hello, please do not remove red links, as you did at Victorian gold rush. They help Wikipedia grow and, as the informational page above suggests, remind us that Wikipedia is a work in progress. Graham 87 13:59, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Edit summaries: you are doing it wrong
Do not insert your own text between /* and */: [] shows numerous → links in your summaries with anchors which lead to nowhere – compare it with → links, say, in [ my edit summaries]. See Help: Edit summary for detailed instructions. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, User:Incnis Mrsi!


 * Here's how it happened: I saw what looked like a programming-language comment string format — /* ... */ — and thought: "Aha! Just summarise the changes inside a comment string." Little did I know ... but thanks to your explicit link, I now know better.


 * Funny it took so many years before anybody noticed! yoyo (talk) 14:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment
Hey Yahya Abdal-Aziz; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

Re: Five ways to map
Appreciated Yahya Abdal-Aziz:

The present communication is in relation with the message you left on the talk page of the file Maps of Western Sahara.png.

1) You said that

"Unfortunately, I can't contact User:Universalis, who appears not to exist"

If you wanna contact Universalis, you can contact me. That's because Universalis is my user name in spanish Wikipedia and in Commons. Once I tried to merge accounts but that wasn't possible.

2) You said that

"there's a fifth way; see the map in the infobox on the Western Sahara conflict included on the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic"

In regards to that, is the same 3rd way on that file.

3) You said that

"Nice job, so far! But perhaps we can still improve the graphic?"

I'm glad you like it. In regards to improvement, I can't do it because I don't have advanced software for images. Only Paint.

Greetings from Colombia and God bless you.

 * The bot is being maintained by User:cyberpower678. Replacing plainlinks with a Cite template automatically is kinda hard, because it's not easy for a bot to pick between, for example, Cite web and Cite news, and there are many more Cite templates that might be more appropriate in some cases. We could file a bug report, but I don't know if that's necessary in this case. Let's just keep an eye on it for now, and replace plainlinks with Cite templates when you come across them :) Rchard2scout (talk) 17:22, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Now I begin to understand the complexities. Thanks! And I'll have a go at using the Cite templates: Cite web and Cite news, etc – but not until I've studied the various alternatives in more detail. yoyo (talk) 06:59, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
