(copied from the help desk) I have been a Wikipedian for a couple of years now, but I have only fairly recently (possibly since the last time I modified my preferences) found a frustrating problem that won't go away. Every time I sign a comment, the signature is incorrectly displayed. Everything looks correct, but somehow it is not interpreted the way it should be. I'm sure it is something I'm doing wrong. I must have something typed incorrectly in my "nickname" preferences. The really odd thing is that when I copy the text directly from the preview down into the edit box (adding the brackets back to the first part, since the first part does work), the thing displays perfectly. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong (preferably on my talk page)? You'll see what I mean when I sign: -- Cromwellt|[[User talk:Cromwellt|Talk]] 21:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Oh, yeah, good job! Yeah, I was going to get it to it sooner or later...I'll see if I can expand his and Aravis's page a bit more though. Yeah, the Prince Cor page redirects to the Shasta page, so whatever's Prince Cor's page shouldn't matter, right? Sort of confused on what you're saying, but I'll see what I can do. Oh yeah, and I'll erase it, since I didn't create his own page :). I cross it off, if I was the one who had done it. Can't take that away from you, now can I? *winks* —Mirlen 00:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I am enlisting your help as one of the people listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Seventh-day_Adventist_Church. The Seventh-day Adventist Church page has recently come under a protection order after an edit war to do with the theology of Graham Maxwell. As an upshot of this war, two users have been blocked. I personally do not understand the issue relating to Graham Maxwell, and as such would like your comments, regardless of whether you know much about the issue or not, on Talk:Seventh-day Adventist Church. I apologise for the mess of the talk page, it has been a very involved debate. Thanking you in advance, - Fermion 06:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the note re: the poet page move, which is wise. Regarding Netoholic, should I assume you've read Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Netoholic and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Netoholic 2? I'd say your descriptions of interaction with Netoholic remind me very much of his traditional modus operandi here...I'm sorry to hear that he's an SEWikipedia admin if he hasn't learned to work within consensus and be constructive. I'm afraid I have little advice...I haven't worked much with him, especially recently. I'd encourage you to contact the users identified as his "mentors" in the Netoholic 2 case to see if they found any successful strategies for working with him...failing that, I'd say it may be time for the SEWikipedia to develop a good dispute resolution policy (unless one exists already...forgive my ignorance concerning the SE project). Personally I agree with your stated and implied positions on how SE should function, but of course I have no involvement with the project, and I doubt my arrival now would be seen as anything but "ganging up" by Netoholic. If I can assist in any way that I'm not seeing right now, please do let me know...I'm happy to provide some input into how the dispute resolution process has worked here as a former insider (and a bit of a maverick, at that), should that be helpful to whatever needs to happen at SE.

Hi. The piece about the evolution of /ch/ was more a joke than anything else. But there's a little bit of truth behind it. If you travel across north-west France from Normandy you'll find various points where phonemes change in the local dialects. One of these is the change from /k/ to /sh/ in words such as "chat" , cat. There are others too. According to what I read, many years ago, these lines correspond to various ages in French history - when areas were poilitically isolated from each other, and if it was for long enough, they developed different phonemes. The /k/ pronunciatio is Germanic, the /sh/ is a later development. Another interesting one is the French rolled /r/, which apparently began as an affectation in upper-class French speech in the 18th century, and then was spread amoung the European intelligentsia during the Enlightenment and later when France was so admired - but not to the English. But I really don't know much about linguistsics at all (sorry!) - this is just something I remember reading ages ago. PiCo 22:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Happy Easter! But even if you don't celebrate it (like me), you should still try the delicious chocolate! (Don't know if you remember me, but if I told you one word, I think you'd know: Cor/Shasta) ;) — Mir l e n 19:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi CesarB. You have been recommended to me as the person who could answer this question: Where in MediaWiki can I add the buttons that normally appear above the edit box, such as the one that adds the signature? I am an admin on some Simple English projects which do not have those buttons, so I want to add them. Or do I need to get developer intervention? -- Cromwellt| Talk 15:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Cromwellt! Thanks for the message. Sorry that I haven't had the time to check in on Simple English Wiktionary recently; I've been focused here at en wiki and have also been busy doing a lot of off-wiki work (meta, etc.) I'll try and drop in more often. Feel free to nudge me every once and then and remind me. :-) Regarding patrolled edits: yes, they are standards of MediaWiki, but we need a developer to turn it on. I've tried contacting both developers Brion Vibber and Tim Starling on their respective talk pages, but no reply; you may wish to try emailing them as well. I'll see what I can do, though.

Hey, sorry for taking so long to reply, but i just saw your comment from last month at Talk:La Toya Jackson. The guideline is mentioned at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Partial dates. As it states, there is not absolute consensus among editors, but most editors do agree that individual years should usually not be linked to as they are rarely useful. -- musicpvm 23:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm reverting your edit: "→Representing languages - Indians --> Native Americans (avoiding ambiguity, matching earlier ref))" — the reference is in fact to India (from Asterix and the Magic Carpet), Native Americans appear in Asterix and the Great Crossing, but none are named. Not the first time someone's tried to make that change btw.-- Invisifan 16:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Cut-away may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stanborough Park Church, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sanitarium ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. The piece about the evolution of /ch/ was more a joke than anything else. But there's a little bit of truth behind it. If you travel across north-west France from Normandy you'll find various points where phonemes change in the local dialects. One of these is the change from /k/ to /sh/ in words such as "chat" , cat. There are others too. According to what I read, many years ago, these lines correspond to various ages in French history - when areas were poilitically isolated from each other, and if it was for long enough, they developed different phonemes. The /k/ pronunciatio is Germanic, the /sh/ is a later development.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi CesarB. You have been recommended to me as the person who could answer this question: Where in MediaWiki can I add the buttons that normally appear above the edit box, such as the one that adds the signature? I am an admin on some Simple English projects which do not have those buttons, so I want to add them. Or do I need to get developer intervention? -- Cromwellt| Talk 15:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Cromwellt! Thanks for the message. Sorry that I haven't had the time to check in on Simple English Wiktionary recently; I've been focused here at en wiki and have also been busy doing a lot of off-wiki work (meta, etc.) I'll try and drop in more often. Feel free to nudge me every once and then and remind me. :-) Regarding patrolled edits: yes, they are standards of MediaWiki, but we need a developer to turn it on. I've tried contacting both developers Brion Vibber and Tim Starling on their respective talk pages, but no reply; you may wish to try emailing them as well. I'll see what I can do, though. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy ( A note?) 23:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for taking so long to reply, but i just saw your comment from last month at Talk:La Toya Jackson. The guideline is mentioned at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Partial dates. As it states, there is not absolute consensus among editors, but most editors do agree that individual years should usually not be linked to as they are rarely useful. -- musicpvm 23:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm reverting your edit: "→Representing languages - Indians --> Native Americans (avoiding ambiguity, matching earlier ref))" — the reference is in fact to India (from Asterix and the Magic Carpet), Native Americans appear in Asterix and the Great Crossing, but none are named. Not the first time someone's tried to make that change btw.-- Invisifan 16:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Cut-away may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 03:00, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stanborough Park Church, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sanitarium ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
