Hi John,
I wanted to touch base with you about the problem you reported in Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Archive 2015 2#Visual editor loading bar never finishes loading (and phab:T97346) a couple of months ago. Is VisualEditor still not opening for you? Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 02:27, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

I just put this forward for a newbie ( her first article!). Could you help with an image of Cecilia? I notice you had managed to release lots of images including a couple of women scientists. Not a big issue, but women scientists are a push subject this month Victuallers ( talk) 08:41, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Criminal (podcast), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wired. 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 John. I'm sorry but I've done very little work with Visual Editor, so I can't offer an opinion on how it might cope with nested templates. You probably should ask those sort of questions at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor - if that's not the right place, somebody more knowledgeable there ought to be able to point you in the right direction.
In the meantime, can I ask you to examine the logic of what you're trying to do, please? You want to be able to add references using VE that could be in several different forms, for example:
I can see how one might write code to create a template that accepted a set of parameters related to a single CS1 citation, e.g.
That could check for the presence of CS1 parameters and the absence of a raw text parameter to make a switch, then assemble the CS1 citation within the template definition - that's no problem, and VE would almost certainly accept those in the 'TemplateData' block. But how do you think you would name the parameters when you wanted to cite a second work, or a third, etc.? There's also the question of how you cope when the licence for the first source differs from the licence for the second or third, etc. Those are the bits that I suspect VE would choke on. I mean, it's fixable, of course - anything is, given enough time and effort, but have you found out how many times the need for multiple sources might arise in articles to justify that time and effort? -- RexxS ( talk) 12:38, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Greetings, I am referring to the following diff: here. What is the meaning of this category? Puerto Rico's political status is a minefield, and adding a category without asking may produce unnecessary controversy. It would help if you explain it. Thanks.
