Hi there man! It's your friend on discord from a few days ago. I was wondering why you ended our chat so abruptly. I just wanted to clarify it was my opinion I was stating, and I may have used harsh wording on accident to help my point. I apologize for any disagreements. Please reconsider adding me back. Thank you! BootLover32 ( talk) 19:31, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
just made a revert on Costa Rica women's national football team, as i thought maybe you missed it, but just realised you are still in progress as its rather more extensive than i had imagined. Sorry if it seemed i was treading on your toes, not planned. It was on my list to look at tomorrow, as some of the Australia women's national under-17 soccer team had allegedly become 12 year olds !!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Soul Train episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manhattan Transfer ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

john, sorry if this is wrong thread for compliments and gratitude, but thanks for your incredible work on the Blackadder clan’s esteemed Scottish heritage and members. I’m doing some extensive research for a dear friend and descendant here in the USA, and am flabbergasted by his apparently genetic passion for his beliefs, undeniable fortitude, philosophical Christian warrior/adventurer nature, and passionate defiance against injustice imposed by authority —especially in freedom of speech area.
Now I just need to find the ‘Sailor Blackadder’ as my friend is a proud Navy veteran. I’ll keep reading!
Your work is wonderful, a gift to history and all future generations, and he will be greatly inspired by his heritage, because of your gift. Organized, well-researched & cited & shared knowledge is truly priceless. We are infinitely grateful to you. Thank you.

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!

I've now added to WP:AWB/T most of the false positives that you provided many moons ago. I didn't do EBU because I think people would say "E-B-U", nor AU$, because that seems to be an Australian dollar, so not sure how that can be a false positive. I notice you are using some 'A to an' regex in the replace with w-links for example here you did a replaced: a Independent → an Independent. Very good indeed. Have you got the the regex working on more complex ones with the second part of the w-link matching, but not the first like 1 and 2? If not, here is the regex that I'm currently using. You can copy paste it to AWB option 'Find and replace', although the XML display doesn't work for the double quote yet sometimes it is required. Notice it got used here and here. I recently notice in your userboxes you are asm-5! A rare thing these days. I can just about read asm (although slowly), but never got to write anything beyond basics.

...where a single word is inside double quotes Regex: (?(?<!"\w*)|(?!\w*"))
Can you clarify how the above applies. Is it when using AWB 'Find and replace' with "Ignore templates, refs, link targets and headings" Unchecked?
If so, why only focus on skipping a single word? I'm thinking about the possibility of many short sections in quotes like song titles where there is a misspelling/grammar issue for stylist reason. As far as I can tell this doesn't apply in Regex typo fixing as all(?) text in double quotes is ignored. Sun Creator( talk) 20:05, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, you made some excellent edits to the 1972 Puerto Rico DC-7 crash page, those edits were reverted by an admin without any real reason. I just want to give you a heads up. You have a huge number of edits and possibly that means you can navigate restoring the page without creating conflict. Maybe the page needs some better citations but deleting all edits by numerous editors over several months seems over the top--the admin could have tagged what they wanted clarified. There is an FAA accident report available now that found provide better source content. Please help. 2601:647:5A00:A4A0:4DB5:CD63:24C6:1B8E ( talk) 01:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't know whether your use of AWB includes trawling-back through the editing history, but I consider this internal link to be particularly inappropriate, considering the target is car-orientated and has been unreferenced since 2009. My original use of {{ what}} in this edit makes it clear, both in edit summary and in 'reason=...' {{tl| clarification needed.

There seem to be two different instructions. As you mentioned in MOS:Order it lists it first, but on Help adding short descriptions it says it should be below any hatnotes. Also, I read awhile ago that it tends to interfere with redirects if not placed below them. So now I'm not sure. I'll have to ask over there.

Could I ask why you changed all the apostrophes to foot marks in the Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse article? I'm sure there's a specific reason that relates to Wikipedian guidelines.

Hi John, thanks so much for your help and support here. I have edited the request based on great feedback and assistance by Spintendo. as I am new to wikipedia it took me a while to get used to the formatting and I am sure there's still a lot to learn. regarding the change request, after editing it to be purely descriptive of product capabilities, I was surprised to receive a decline message. my question is the following, can't a vendor ensure at least an accurate description of their offering ? I am asking to know what is the policy since other vendors seem to have much more descriptive representation on their pages. I am adding below again my request and hope you will be able to revisit the decline decision

More specifically, even though all credible sources (record sleeves, AllMusic, interviews with the band at that time, the band's founder himself) explicitly name Keith Miller as the musician who came up with the solo to "Driver's Seat", the IP editor keeps changing the name to Miffy Smith.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Soul Train episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manhattan Transfer ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

john, sorry if this is wrong thread for compliments and gratitude, but thanks for your incredible work on the Blackadder clan’s esteemed Scottish heritage and members. I’m doing some extensive research for a dear friend and descendant here in the USA, and am flabbergasted by his apparently genetic passion for his beliefs, undeniable fortitude, philosophical Christian warrior/adventurer nature, and passionate defiance against injustice imposed by authority —especially in freedom of speech area.
Now I just need to find the ‘Sailor Blackadder’ as my friend is a proud Navy veteran. I’ll keep reading!
Your work is wonderful, a gift to history and all future generations, and he will be greatly inspired by his heritage, because of your gift. Organized, well-researched & cited & shared knowledge is truly priceless. We are infinitely grateful to you. Thank you.

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!

I've now added to WP:AWB/T most of the false positives that you provided many moons ago. I didn't do EBU because I think people would say "E-B-U", nor AU$, because that seems to be an Australian dollar, so not sure how that can be a false positive. I notice you are using some 'A to an' regex in the replace with w-links for example here you did a replaced: a Independent → an Independent. Very good indeed. Have you got the the regex working on more complex ones with the second part of the w-link matching, but not the first like 1 and 2? If not, here is the regex that I'm currently using. You can copy paste it to AWB option 'Find and replace', although the XML display doesn't work for the double quote yet sometimes it is required. Notice it got used here and here. I recently notice in your userboxes you are asm-5! A rare thing these days. I can just about read asm (although slowly), but never got to write anything beyond basics.

...where a single word is inside double quotes Regex: (?(?<!"\w*)|(?!\w*"))
Can you clarify how the above applies. Is it when using AWB 'Find and replace' with "Ignore templates, refs, link targets and headings" Unchecked?
If so, why only focus on skipping a single word? I'm thinking about the possibility of many short sections in quotes like song titles where there is a misspelling/grammar issue for stylist reason. As far as I can tell this doesn't apply in Regex typo fixing as all(?) text in double quotes is ignored. Sun Creator( talk) 20:05, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Maybe the page needs some better citations but deleting all edits by numerous editors over several months seems over the top--the admin could have tagged what they wanted clarified.

I am asking to know what is the policy since other vendors seem to have much more descriptive representation on their pages. I am adding below again my request and hope you will be able to revisit the decline decision
