Hi Rich, would you know where a vandal could have gotten in the templates such that it links back to his user page?
These links shouldn't be and it would be good to remove them per DENY. I can't find the link. It pertains to
this thread and there is this
archived SPI case. He has been using open proxies and likes to taunt. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Cheers,

I liked the quote of the day, and it's nearly the same thing as a Sam Cooke song, " A Change Is Gonna Come"-- the second stanza is "It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die 'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will". It is truly a great song covered by a lot of the early sixties soul singers and many others since then, and worth hearing and seeing the track here: [1] (Copied from MetroLyrics.com) -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 10:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Is it okay to ask you about Regex? I'm trying to learn and read about it but some things I've tried don't work as intended so I'm a little stuck. It's okay if your not interested I can't try the help desk. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 01:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
To allow for two crudely
One or two you can use
But this replicates the next [au]fa
We can include missing vowel "Manfacture"
And multiples giving a simpler (looking) rule
Note though that we are still not matching everything we probably want because of the [ct].
This fixes that problem. But the (?:[ai]|[au]*) is notw a little redundant
This deals with that problem without, probably matching stuff we don't want.

Hi Rich. Is Template:Football box header, which you created in September last year, still required? It's not transcluded anywhere and it's only referenced as a "See also" from the docpage for Template:Football box. If it's no longer required, I'll propose it for deletion (or you can, if you prefer). Thanks. DH85868993 ( talk) 08:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rich, I ended up staring at Template:Sockpuppet category for a while (for something minor and already fixed), and I think I spied an error in the template. Check out this diff in Template:Sockpuppet category/sandbox please and let me know if you agree. From what I can tell, namespace errors are being silently unreported because the if tests are not closing properly. The closing brace in that diff change should fix it but I'm not confident enough to just slap on a {{ protected edit}} request and call it a day. BigNate37 (T) 19:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey. when I want to add a more subcategory rather than just session musicians to American session musicians there's normally no problem. But I tried to do so for those from New Zealand, and I think I screwed it up. And-- today, I find that there are some Czech session players which could use a similar category.. but, you see my dilemma? I mean, first I screw up the New Zealand one- check and see! I wanted to add Bruce Lynch and Neil Finn to the NZ session players at the least. I'd appreciate your help. :) -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 10:38, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Greetings Rich, I just wanted to clarify something. The Skip if contains .{2000} statement you made. Is that greater than 2000 or less than? Also, does that include things like infoboxes and categories? I assume it does but not sure. Kumioko ( talk) 16:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Farmbrough,
Thank you for your time and expertise in clean-up execution on Antonio Diego Voci. We have addressed, with your assistance both issues of capital letter inconsistency as well as toning down of bolding. Plus we restored the two 1957 paintings that inadvertently disappeared upon your edit. By the way, “clientage” is a legitimate word, “a body of clients; clientele; customers, but we like your word “patrons”. And in “USA” we write “color” without the “u”; and “traveling” without the extra “l”. Also we had not realized Wikipedia used the European system for dates, the day first then the month, which we actually prefer.
Are you British? Even though the USA is no longer a colony, we celebrated the Queen’s birthday right along with you folks on Facebook and Twitter. And watched the Olympics every day. London is probably now suffering aftershock. Ahjkl67435 ( talk) 17:58, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Rich Farmbrough. Please, listen to me. I need you help. Please, help me. I am at the very end of good faith, so please, please, read this and this, following your logical conclusion. Help me to understand am i wrong, or something else is wrong here. Dont ignore me, i saw that you are very neutral and quite familial with wiki rules. -- WhiteWriter speaks 20:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
I am contacting you, per wp:CANVAS, after contacting mostly negative or neutral editors, as a user known to be supportive about quick, fast citation templates, in considering the latest TfD discussion. In this case, the template { Cite_web/smart} is finally the big upgrade to entirely replace {Cite_web} with a faster version that carefully checks the parameters to only invoke {Citation/core} for any rare parameters, else quickly formats a cite plus COinS data. Now, {cite_web/smart} is a massive extension of your October 2011 Template:Cite_book_quick, as a hybrid with {cite_web} and new { cite_quick}. See TfD of 11 August 2012:
This notice is only an FYI, as announcing the discussion under way. Feel free to oppose the template, support the template, ignore the discussion, or even delete this message. The TfD just started, so there should be, at least, 4 days (18 August 2012) to consider the issues.
With that formality stated, I want to thank you for creating Template:Cite_book_quick, which inspired me to create a hybrid template that handles all {cite_web} parameters, only invoking {Citation/core} to format the rare parameters. Currently, major article " Arab Spring" hits the include-size limit, but {cite_web/smart} could reduce the template expansion size in all 1.1 million articles using {cite_web}. - Wikid77 ( talk) Wikid77 ( talk) 06:13, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rich, I noticed you have been changing some text on the Burton's article. When amendment you made that is incorrect is Cadbury brands licensed by Cadbury UK. This should really state Kraft Foods as the official owner of the brand. Please can you undo. Thanks Mrs biskit ( talk) 15:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Template:Citation needed cheap has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at
the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. --

Thank you very, very much for the fantastic list of orphaned American artists you generated for me - that's really some service! I'd love to know more about how you managed it but perhaps will wait until I've done some reading and have sensible questions to ask. In the meantime, many thanks! Mfbjr ( talk) 15:28, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch for helping out at the Teahouse. Many of your answers have been very helpful! One little thing, since many new users are asking question, some may not know about watchlists or realize they need to check in once in a while to see if their question is answered. For that reason, when you do answer a question, please use the talkback template located here on their user talk page so that they know their question has been answered. There is also a script which you can install that will leave the template automatically when you answer a question. Toodles. -- Jayron 32 01:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. I know this happened just recently but no administrator would close these frequent rm's down, so here we go again. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.

Hi Rich. I noticed you changed The Little Sister from Stub to Start. I'm a new editor so still not familiar with the review process. I've made a lot of changes to The Little Sister over the last month and I put it in the queue for a formal re-assessment on the Project Novels/Assessment page. When I checked that page it seems to me that the assessment hasn't been completed yet (there is still one page ahead of Little Sister and its not struck through yet). I'm assuming you just noticed the amazingly awesome work I've done ;) and made the change in status? I wanted to check because the text (I assume from a template) that says the page has no references is still there and it clearly does have references now. Can/should I just remove that and if so can you give me a hint how? Or should I just wait for the assessment and let them remove the bit about no references? thanks!

You recently moved this template to {{ WikiProject Occupy Wall Street}}. While that did make it clearer what it was about, I've reverted it back to the current title, as the name of the WikiProject actually is WikiProject OWS ( WP:WikiProject Occupy Wall Street is a redlink). I'm inclined to think that WikiProject should probably be renamed, but as long as it's under that title, the accompanying template should be too. Robofish ( talk) 16:13, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Rich Farmbrough. We are in the early stages of initiating a project to plan, gain consensus on, and coordinate adding a feature to the main page wherein an article will be listed daily for collaborative improvement. If you're interested in participating, please add your name to the list of members. |
Happy editing! Automatic Strikeout 21:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rich. I have a proposal at the village pump about introducing a color scheme to the text editor so it is easier for newer editors to differentiate between different kinds of syntax, particularly references. I'd welcome your feedback at the village pump. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 01:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. In case you're not watching meta: m:Talk:Wikimedia Medicine#Conference call. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 00:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for the comment on the coal scrip article. I agree, 100%, yes, the truck acts were an outcome. My only contention, as one who has been through the usage of scrip first hand, is to define it and then, yes, by all means, show the social issues associated wih its use. I wanted to present a pro and con synopsis and will of course keep this as neutral as possible. Coal town guy ( talk) 14:27, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I certainly didn't mean for it to sound like that. I think if he had responded at ANI with an "oh, I did not kno that, i will not do it again" it would have died down. It's the "I'm doing nothing wrong" response, followed by the "they're all out to get me" defense that doesn't help. I only followed up on the hand in the tools thing because he doesn't use them a right lot, and he's actually said somewhere before this that he's not finding adminning fun. -- Elen of the Roads ( talk) 14:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Greetings Rich, I just wanted to clarify something. The Skip if contains .{2000} statement you made. Is that greater than 2000 or less than? Also, does that include things like infoboxes and categories? I assume it does but not sure. Kumioko ( talk) 16:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
The message on the log says "Page does not contain .{2000}". Kumioko ( talk) 02:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello Mr. Farmbrough,
Thank you for your time and expertise in clean-up execution on Antonio Diego Voci. We have addressed, with your assistance both issues of capital letter inconsistency as well as toning down of bolding. Plus we restored the two 1957 paintings that inadvertently disappeared upon your edit. By the way, “clientage” is a legitimate word, “a body of clients; clientele; customers, but we like your word “patrons”. And in “USA” we write “color” without the “u”; and “traveling” without the extra “l”. Also we had not realized Wikipedia used the European system for dates, the day first then the month, which we actually prefer.
Are you British? Even though the USA is no longer a colony, we celebrated the Queen’s birthday right along with you folks on Facebook and Twitter. And watched the Olympics every day. London is probably now suffering aftershock. Ahjkl67435 ( talk) 17:58, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Rich Farmbrough. Please, listen to me. I need you help. Please, help me. I am at the very end of good faith, so please, please, read this and this, following your logical conclusion. Help me to understand am i wrong, or something else is wrong here. Dont ignore me, i saw that you are very neutral and quite familial with wiki rules. -- WhiteWriter speaks 20:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
I am contacting you, per wp:CANVAS, after contacting mostly negative or neutral editors, as a user known to be supportive about quick, fast citation templates, in considering the latest TfD discussion. In this case, the template { Cite_web/smart} is finally the big upgrade to entirely replace {Cite_web} with a faster version that carefully checks the parameters to only invoke {Citation/core} for any rare parameters, else quickly formats a cite plus COinS data. Now, {cite_web/smart} is a massive extension of your October 2011 Template:Cite_book_quick, as a hybrid with {cite_web} and new { cite_quick}. See TfD of 11 August 2012:
This notice is only an FYI, as announcing the discussion under way. Feel free to oppose the template, support the template, ignore the discussion, or even delete this message. The TfD just started, so there should be, at least, 4 days (18 August 2012) to consider the issues.
With that formality stated, I want to thank you for creating Template:Cite_book_quick, which inspired me to create a hybrid template that handles all {cite_web} parameters, only invoking {Citation/core} to format the rare parameters. Currently, major article " Arab Spring" hits the include-size limit, but {cite_web/smart} could reduce the template expansion size in all 1.1 million articles using {cite_web}. - Wikid77 ( talk) Wikid77 ( talk) 06:13, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rich, I noticed you have been changing some text on the Burton's article. When amendment you made that is incorrect is Cadbury brands licensed by Cadbury UK. This should really state Kraft Foods as the official owner of the brand. Please can you undo. Thanks Mrs biskit ( talk) 15:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Template:Citation needed cheap has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at
the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. --

Thank you very, very much for the fantastic list of orphaned American artists you generated for me - that's really some service! I'd love to know more about how you managed it but perhaps will wait until I've done some reading and have sensible questions to ask. In the meantime, many thanks!

Thanks a bunch for helping out at the Teahouse. Many of your answers have been very helpful! One little thing, since many new users are asking question, some may not know about watchlists or realize they need to check in once in a while to see if their question is answered. For that reason, when you do answer a question, please use the talkback template located here on their user talk page so that they know their question has been answered. There is also a script which you can install that will leave the template automatically when you answer a question. Toodles. -- Jayron 32 01:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. I know this happened just recently but no administrator would close these frequent rm's down, so here we go again. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.

Hi Rich. I noticed you changed The Little Sister from Stub to Start. I'm a new editor so still not familiar with the review process. I've made a lot of changes to The Little Sister over the last month and I put it in the queue for a formal re-assessment on the Project Novels/Assessment page. When I checked that page it seems to me that the assessment hasn't been completed yet (there is still one page ahead of Little Sister and its not struck through yet). I'm assuming you just noticed the amazingly awesome work I've done ;) and made the change in status? I wanted to check because the text (I assume from a template) that says the page has no references is still there and it clearly does have references now. Can/should I just remove that and if so can you give me a hint how? Or should I just wait for the assessment and let them remove the bit about no references? thanks!

You recently moved this template to {{ WikiProject Occupy Wall Street}}. While that did make it clearer what it was about, I've reverted it back to the current title, as the name of the WikiProject actually is WikiProject OWS ( WP:WikiProject Occupy Wall Street is a redlink). I'm inclined to think that WikiProject should probably be renamed, but as long as it's under that title, the accompanying template should be too. Robofish ( talk) 16:13, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Rich Farmbrough. We are in the early stages of initiating a project to plan, gain consensus on, and coordinate adding a feature to the main page wherein an article will be listed daily for collaborative improvement. If you're interested in participating, please add your name to the list of members. |
Happy editing! Automatic Strikeout 21:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rich. I have a proposal at the village pump about introducing a color scheme to the text editor so it is easier for newer editors to differentiate between different kinds of syntax, particularly references. I'd welcome your feedback at the village pump. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 01:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. In case you're not watching meta: m:Talk:Wikimedia Medicine#Conference call. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 00:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for the comment on the coal scrip article. I agree, 100%, yes, the truck acts were an outcome. My only contention, as one who has been through the usage of scrip first hand, is to define it and then, yes, by all means, show the social issues associated wih its use. I wanted to present a pro and con synopsis and will of course keep this as neutral as possible. Coal town guy ( talk) 14:27, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I certainly didn't mean for it to sound like that. I think if he had responded at ANI with an "oh, I did not kno that, i will not do it again" it would have died down. It's the "I'm doing nothing wrong" response, followed by the "they're all out to get me" defense that doesn't help. I only followed up on the hand in the tools thing because he doesn't use them a right lot, and he's actually said somewhere before this that he's not finding adminning fun. -- Elen of the Roads ( talk) 14:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
