As you perhaps saw, the TFD for {{ Marriage}} got closed as "no consensus". After examining the way this template works, I've proposed removing many of the parameters that many of the TFD participants found unnecessary, problematic, objectionable, etc. The proposal is in the "Removing parameters" section of Template talk:Marriage; would you please go there and offer your opinions? I apologise for the boilerplate style of writing; I'm doing my best to notify all participants in the TFD equally, so I'm copy/pasting the same thing to everyone's talk page regardless of how they voted.

Thank you for making the article better by removing the unnecessary content - not sure why the Assistant Priest was removed, but I trust it was for the best.

Hi, Andy -- would you be interested in taking part in an interview about the use of geocoordinates in Wikipedia for the Wikipedia Signpost? The interview page is at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/WikiProject desk/Interviews4.

Hi Andy, if I'm using the cite web template, when adding the field Work do I need to include the fact that it's a website? So e.g. here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Porter_(poet)#cite_note-3 I am citing an article that appeared on the Guardian's website (as opposed to in the print version of the newspaper - it may of course have appeared there as well but I've found it online) so I have specified 'The Guardian website' as the Work - is this correct or should I just use 'The Guardian'.
An associated question: when citing an article such as that one, should I use the cite web, cite new or cite journal template? It seems that all three categories could be applied to articles on newspaper websites.
Thanks for you help!

Discussion about how to render scoring, I will look for your thoughts here. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:13, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Not to be offensive, but completely deleting it like that was rude. As I mentioned, in that namespace normal 'style' rules don't apply. I specifically asked people to edit it if needed, but NOT to completely delete it.
I had, as I mentioned, JUST sent VIAF a note to look at what I said. Moving or something (with a redirect) would be fine, but not completely removing it.
The specific thing I am EXPLICITLY trying to prevent, as I mentioned in my mail to VIAF, is someone trying to 'automatically' fix this possibly creating hundreds of thousands of incorrect authority control entries and links to redirects.
This would be extremely bad! Revent ( talk) 20:32, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Repeatedly reverting me is in direct violation of WikiPedia policies, especially as you have not attempted to address my attempt to point out why mentioning it there is appropriate. This is not a 'personal' attack or anything, but you seem to be trying to start an edit war over this. The idea that my edit was not (or would not be) seen by one of the people watching that page or live edits is ridiculous. If someone else has a problem with it, they can delete it, and that would show a consensus that I am wrong. WITHOUT CONSENSUS OR DISCUSSION, THE DISPUTED CONTENT (though as an ADMIN category, it's not really content) REMAINS UNTIL THERE IS A CONSENSUS THAT IT SHOULD BE REMOVED!
The only 'justification' that you have given is 'I was rude' and 'Not here.'. You have made no attempt to do as I specifically asked and either edit it, move it, or even point out a location where it would achieve the specific goal of making sure that someone who tries to helpfully fix the problem does not break WP. I think it's important enough that SOME mention should be on the actual page, in case someone trying to autofix it doesn't notice it on the (possibly archived in the future) Talk page.
I am going to put it back, for the many reasons I have stated. As I have repeatedly said, you can feel free to edit it. If you completely delete it again, you will be in direct violation of WP:3RR, and I will report you. If you continue to have a problem with it being there, you should raise the issue on one of the Admin Noticeboards, though I doubt that is necessary, as I am sure my edit will be, or has been, noticed by many admins.

I have corrected some inaccuracies on this page having visited the sculpture last week and conducted research on the it. The previous owner's son Richard Shanley(Carl Racey never owned it - it was Mike Shanley)has confirmed two Birmingham sites which are backed up by photos and video (Gangsters series and ATV broadcasts/interviews). I have referenced Facebook because that is where this information sits. It is no more unreliable that anywhere else I might choose to publish. Please do not undo the changes unless you can disprove the evidence. I'm not savvy enough to load photos and links as citation but feel free to do so on my behalf off my site https://www.facebook.com/SaveKingsHeath?ref=hl

Facebook refs removed - maybe you need to remember the real purpose of Wikipedia. To perpetuate inaccuracies because of protocol is unhelpful. All you had to do was remove the refs.
Kind regards,
Jeremy Paige. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.139.43 ( talk) 20:41, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
It is so simple. I am trying to alter the page so it is correct. The locations are wrong, the owner is wrong and all I am trying to do is contribute to the page. I'm not 'snide', I'm not anonymous and have nothing to gain. I've removed the refs and you persist in publishing an inaccurate page. I give up, I hope you are proud of your shoddy research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.139.43 ( talk) 21:05, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh dear, we are a bit sensitive aren't we? I'd love to know how your 'reliable' citations have allowed you to publish inaccuracies and false information, although I note you have at least conceded that the sculpture is no longer in a Penrith car park. I'll not bother you again, you are welcome to the so-called community of Wikipedia, I'm off to the real world. Bye.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alan Dean (ornithologist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chiffchaff ( 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 Andy Thanks for today's event at Queen Street Mill. It was great to see so many people and that they were all busy learning more and editing in the afternoon. I've updated the Robert Rawlinson page to add a retrieved date to the newspaper link which I forgot to do before I left QSM. I've added more references and will look more at the newspapers online and the printed material in the library collections. I've been looking at the Lancashire Book of the Year page and have made one update to add the link to Lancashire County Council. I'd like to add links to the OCLC Find A Book in libraries site but not sure if they would be best added as References, Bibliography, External links or something else, Can you advice please.

Thanks for restoring those comments.. Would you care to explain exactly what is achieved by having aduplicate move request to the one at Talk:Berlin Philharmonic. Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting multiple page moves quite clearly states that "discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at current1", which in this case means Talk:Berlin Philharmonic. In any case both of those users have added their comments to the correct talkpage. Green Giant ( talk) 23:53, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andy, thank you for your comment and for the QRcode. Yes, you are right, there are 4 ordinary codes.
We were just experimenting with the graphics, and used QR type with a blank center for a logo or for a language flag. Will replace it soon by a "kosher" code.
By the way - would you consider developing a QRpedia code with place for logo? It will look better bearing the symbol of town, logo of museum etc. May be even the Wikipedia logo. A project will have a unified/unique look, different from any neighbor.

Hi Andy, I wondering how you are doing for volunteers? I feel I should get involved because it is right on my doorstep, but I'm super busy right now and would have to make time for it. -- Trappedinburnley ( talk) 16:56, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

When I use flatlist, as in BWV 37, the infobox gets very broad. Any help? As for my "needed re-integration" into teh community: 1) thanks for noticing, 2) I try to keep an article talk free from personal remarks (was not successful for Bach), 3) there is no chance that I even want to be integrated, even if I modified my red cat saying so to the more mellow one I still keep ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:22, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
I have corrected some inaccuracies on this page having visited the sculpture last week and conducted research on the it. The previous owner's son Richard Shanley(Carl Racey never owned it - it was Mike Shanley)has confirmed two Birmingham sites which are backed up by photos and video (Gangsters series and ATV broadcasts/interviews). I have referenced Facebook because that is where this information sits. It is no more unreliable that anywhere else I might choose to publish. Please do not undo the changes unless you can disprove the evidence. I'm not savvy enough to load photos and links as citation but feel free to do so on my behalf off my site https://www.facebook.com/SaveKingsHeath?ref=hl
Kind regards,

Facebook refs removed - maybe you need to remember the real purpose of Wikipedia. To perpetuate inaccuracies because of protocol is unhelpful. All you had to do was remove the refs.
Kind regards,
Jeremy Paige. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.139.43 ( talk) 20:41, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
It is so simple. I am trying to alter the page so it is correct. The locations are wrong, the owner is wrong and all I am trying to do is contribute to the page. I'm not 'snide', I'm not anonymous and have nothing to gain. I've removed the refs and you persist in publishing an inaccurate page. I give up, I hope you are proud of your shoddy research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.139.43 ( talk) 21:05, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh dear, we are a bit sensitive aren't we? I'd love to know how your 'reliable' citations have allowed you to publish inaccuracies and false information, although I note you have at least conceded that the sculpture is no longer in a Penrith car park. I'll not bother you again, you are welcome to the so-called community of Wikipedia, I'm off to the real world. Bye.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alan Dean (ornithologist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chiffchaff ( 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 Andy Thanks for today's event at Queen Street Mill. It was great to see so many people and that they were all busy learning more and editing in the afternoon. I've updated the Robert Rawlinson page to add a retrieved date to the newspaper link which I forgot to do before I left QSM. I've added more references and will look more at the newspapers online and the printed material in the library collections. I've been looking at the Lancashire Book of the Year page and have made one update to add the link to Lancashire County Council. I'd like to add links to the OCLC Find A Book in libraries site but not sure if they would be best added as References, Bibliography, External links or something else, Can you advice please.

Thanks for restoring those comments.. Would you care to explain exactly what is achieved by having aduplicate move request to the one at Talk:Berlin Philharmonic. Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting multiple page moves quite clearly states that "discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at current1", which in this case means Talk:Berlin Philharmonic. In any case both of those users have added their comments to the correct talkpage. Green Giant ( talk) 23:53, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
You won't be surprised to hear that Steven Walling of the WMF, in full IDHT mode, dismisses your report of your class as "totally biased" and (the classic way to dismiss data one doesn't like) "a small sample". Just for interest, how many were in the class? JohnCD ( talk) 09:21, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andy, thank you for your comment and for the QRcode. Yes, you are right, there are 4 ordinary codes.
We were just experimenting with the graphics, and used QR type with a blank center for a logo or for a language flag. Will replace it soon by a "kosher" code.
By the way - would you consider developing a QRpedia code with place for logo? It will look better bearing the symbol of town, logo of museum etc. May be even the Wikipedia logo. A project will have a unified/unique look, different from any neighbor.

Hello Pigsonthewing, You have written before for the newsletter This Month in GLAM. I see the UK is missing regarding the edition about April 2013, do you perhaps have any idea what GLAM activities were done in the UK in April? Can you perhaps write about those? Or do you know who I can ask to write about it? Thanks! (Deadline of the April edition is 8 May.) You can start writing at the page outreach:GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom. If you wish to be informed by e-mail next time, please write me at this page. You can reach me the best at nl-wiki talk page. Greetings - Romaine ( talk) 08:03, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andy
One of my friends at the Natural History Museum ( User:Llivermore) has been working on the article for Coreus marginatus, I was looking on Wikiproject insects and saw your name. He would like to get his article to GA, if you can offer any tips to him that would be super. -- Mrjohncummings ( talk) 16:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

As NYB explained already, filing this DRV was an abuse of process. I invite you to withdraw the disruptive DRV or I will need to block you until I have assurances that you will no longer disrupt the project by filing DRVs that you know in advance are an abuse of process.
