Hey PleaseStand, just letting you know that I approved you to start reviewing edits to train the new ClueBot NG. Click this link, sign in, read carefully through the instructions, and start reviewing! If you have any questions, you can leave them on my talk page, or log on to irc.cluenet.org and join the channel #cluebotng. Thanks! Tim 1357 talk 22:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you PleaseStand for extending my archiving to 30 days. -- Frania W. ( talk) 04:37, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Tried adding importScript(" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PleaseStand/hide-vector-sidebar.js"); to the appropriate vector.js page in German Wikipedia (User => Benutzer) to no avail. Is it possible to use this essential script in other language Wikipedias/Wiktionary? Thanks for fixing Vector! -- Ajnrqm ( talk) 13:46, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
importScriptURI("http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:PleaseStand/hide-vector-sidebar.js&action=raw");
because you are on another wiki. I have now added this to the documentation.

23:33, 26 January 2011 (UTC)The user groups "*" and "user" are now appearing for everyone. Could you please make changes similar to these to userinfo.js, so that they do not appear? Thanks in advance! Gary King ( talk · scripts) 01:36, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Any chance you could also enable the script on a user's contribs page? Gary King ( talk · scripts) 18:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
A compliment and a bug report; I wanted to say that I tried out {{ Pie chart}} on Georgia Tech Research Institute and it looks great on desktop browsers, but that it doesn't render correctly on mobile Safari. If only there was a way to wrap the Google Chart API into a template... — Disavian ( talk/ contribs) 19:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Works for me on Chrome 12, including the Alt+A shortcut. Thanks! Sean Flanigan ( talk) 04:49, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
I tried using your script ( User:Piotrus/vector.js) to move refs from this article's body to the bottom, but it appears to do nothing (I see the red button, press it, click through it, it fills the edit summary, and that's it - it does no change to the article). See [1]. Also, you may want to see this discussion. PS. I was referred to your script from here. PPS. The green button function works as advertised, but it is only half of the work... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:59, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
It is the Art Gallery of Ontario. It used to illustrate that article, but it's of the pre-renovation building, and not a very good picture either. - SimonP ( talk) 16:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Our threshold may be low, but they do exist. This guy may be notable, but without wikilinks, proper refs and a more encyclopaedic tone, the article will fail as notability not established, unsourced or unencylcopaedic Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
I've been evaluating/mildly hacking on a local copy of your cool script to see if we could use it to put references in list-defined references format to make wikitext more newbie/user friendly.
The conclusion I've come to so far is that it can be made to work without much problem, if anything your script does too much; I suspect that leaving <ref>...</ref> type references alone is probably preferable, people can always name them and listify them later if they wish (or perhaps they don't want to if it's a short ref).
The other problem is that list references seem to have got a bad rap.
I think it's because if people have to manually listify then it is a right pain and they may forget. But most people simply add references, and copy references around; which you can mostly do purely per-section, whether or not it's been listified. But with list-defined references to add references properly you need to edit the whole article- and it's been found that on high edit articles they were apparently getting more edit collisions, or that was the perception anyway.
Anyway, I was thinking a bot to listify could be much better, so people can be lazy; just add named refs locally, and your script was looking like it was almost there to do the heavy lifting. Perhaps if there's already a list in the article, the script would try to tidy it up. What do you think? Teapeat ( talk) 06:44, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I was having an issue with a pie chart & was informed that you created pie charts on Wikipedia originally & was wondering if you could help. Basically I creating a pie chart with the intention of adding it to a football related page I created & ran into a problem I wanted to include 22 segments but the pie chart stopped working at the ninth despite whatever the percentages were. Is the Pie chart limited to 9 segments? Here is the pie chart in question as you can see if you go edit the tenth segment isn’t included. Regards (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 20:44, 29 November 2011 (UTC))
