rev 9829 introduces Arabic comma when both replaced and removed are used. I need you to test it for me. you need some kind of replacement ("a" → "b") and some kind of removal ("c"→ "") in the F&R. Please test it for both Arabic and English cases. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 22:22, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Woo! Woo! Finally!!! No bother at all. This was a bug I discovered by myself. I can't wait for the next one. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 13:38, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I was very tempted to do a 24-hour block on user Yalladar. They are working on Jordanian football pages. They are reverting people. Adding unsourced material. Adding external links wrong. Adding facebook links that don't go to the right people. Just some general mayhem. I don't think they doing it with bad intent. Maybe their English isn't the greatest. Could you talk to them? Their Jordan national football team edits are the most worrisome. They are removing material for unknown reasons then keep reverting people. Bgwhite ( talk) 08:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kat Walsh is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kat Walsh until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jinkinson talk to me 15:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
