Hi Thumperwad, I am contacting you because I can see that you have a large number of edits on the ZX Spectrum article, and so I am hoping you can either provide insight here or at least point me to someone who might. My question concerns which of the various source materials covering the ZX Spectrum are the most respected and otherwise notable. I've been engaged in a recent series of conversations where the argument has been advanced that there is over-coverage of the Spectrum version of some games. I'm opposed to the wholescale blanking of Spectrum version scores, but as per WP:DUE, the over-coverage argument is not without merit. The articles concerned here use the following Spectrum sources:
Can you tell me which of these are the most industry-respected and notable publications? And if not, do you know who would have an opinion on this? If you have no idea then I'll post at WP:VG/S. Thank you. - Thibbs ( talk) 14:41, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Could you be a bit more explicit on the problems with this article. I'm happy do give it a bit of a cleanup but would appreciate knowing what bits stand out to you as problems ( from somebody new to the article ) - SimonLyall ( talk) 07:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Sticky-shed syndrome, has been proposed for a merge with another article.

Thumperward, encyclopedic means "covering a wide range of knowledge; comprehensive". What specific new topics do you think should be added when you say it should be more encyclopedic? Can you give any specific example of where it reads like a personal reflection? I don't have the vaguest idea, what you are talking about when you make this assertion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hard disk drive, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Form factor ( 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 Thumperward, Since your are an experience editor, could you please help me figure-out a strange problem. In the Template:Finance links you would see an Eg. of a company, their if u click the "Hoover's" link you would find nothing except it says "Page Not Found".

Most humble apologies for this [1] - thanks for catching my mistake! Where should I play from now on? I've recently sworn off the drama (so many talk pages now un-stalked, including...), but AN/I is my most toughest one to give up! I'll try to do better and avoid inputting there, and thanks for putting me back in my place. Cheers, Thumperward :> Doc talk 10:38, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello.
I saw there were a few changes to Template:Navbox today. Are they in anyway related to the double parentheses that now occur in Template:Kingdom of Great Britain, do you think?

The item I opened at Villiage Pump Technical was in order to get the problem with my computer settings straightened out. It was not in support or in contest with whether there should be or not be chess icon glyphs in chess piece articles on Wikipedia. It was a technical issue with my computer settings that I was trying to solve. You came there after the technical problem was solved with comments of an evaluative nature that had nothing to do with the thread. I have no interest in your opinions or grievances. So why don't you take them up with someone who cares? And leave me alone with your rants and insults, I want nothing to do with you. (Ok, Chris?) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 02:29, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
