Tired of seeing this link be red :)
I reverted your change and also replaced the DMC logo with a photo of a DeLorean grille showing the logo. A (somewhat lengthy) explanation is on the Ambigram talk page. Please, let's hash this out there rather than having an edit war. RoyLeban ( talk) 07:19, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know, you were correct that this article (or rather, most of the content which had been added in one go by a single user) was a blatant ripoff- i.e. copyright violation- of another site. The offending material has been removed. See Talk:JVC GR-C1 for the full discussion.
Note that you can also use templates such as (e.g.) Template:Copypaste where there is reasonable suspicion that an article has been copied without permission.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Floats. Since you had some involvement with the Floats redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. f e minist 15:39, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
I reverted this change you made in 2021:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Universally_unique_identifier&diff=1005808116&oldid=1005761622
"one fewer" is grammatically incorrect because the word "fewer" is plural so can't be applied to one of something. This is a common mistake because it is often simplistically said you should use "fewer" when talking about countable objects, but this is an exception.
The change comment said that the old text is ambiguous. I don't understand what is ambiguous; "There are half as many possible version-4 variant-2 UUIDs (legacy GUIDs) because there is one less random bit available" is obvious and only has one meaning to me (certainly not any others that would be ruled out by changing "less" to "fewer". Could you explain what other meaning you think this sentence could be read as? 109.207.23.18 ( talk) 22:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
