Hi Chris, I just wanted to let you know about this discussion at AN/I in which you're mentioned. Have a great weekend. -- 76.189.111.199 ( talk) 09:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited CentOS, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Enterprise class ( 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.

An editor recently came to me to ask for help with Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines/History of the Philippines (citations), which is being used as a citation template, but has become too large to edit (see this thread). perhaps you have some ideas? Frietjes ( talk) 23:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#I have a strange problem -- Gadget850 (Ed) talk 19:14, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Chris
I am really sorry for bother you this time but I'm feeling helpless here. We have a sensational editor who is apparently badly carried away, making a huge fuss in Talk:Microsoft Office 2013 for something that is already discussed and everyone agrees with him. (You read it right: Agrees, not disagrees.) He wants to put something in the article that everyone is okay with, only instead of doing it, he starts a discussion and without waiting for reply, adds an RFC tag. I seem to have trouble telling him: "Okay buddy, just do it!"
Granted, I reverted his edit once but only because his contribution was already put in the article. And the fuss he is making is not related to my revert either. He is pulling one of the replies from a previous discussion that told me we needed more coverage. Only what is conveniently disregarded here is that we did add more coverage.
Is there anything you can do? Because I fear when we have so much trouble when no edit is done, how much trouble are we going to have when he makes a controversial edit?
Best regards,
Codename Lisa (

I understand the return to the hanging dots, but any particular reason for (1) the initial "{{ sidebar

could probably use some conversion to a more standard floating box format, or no floating box if there is a problem with confusing it with the sister links. Frietjes ( talk) 19:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
In recent edits on Talk:Kopi_Luwak#Photos you used language that was not civil, and which was unjustified. WP:NOTPERFECT Specifically your response to adding a single image was the unjustified accusation "pretty flagrant attempt to use the article as a soapbox, pushing an agenda" and after a single revert / request to discuss, an accusation of edit warring. These accusations are ill-considered accusations of impropriety, and are inconsistent with WP:GOODFAITH and WP:DNB Kaffiend ( talk) 09:18, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello - Could you do me a favor and take a look at Template:Bayesian statistics/sandbox. I'm trying to put a small space between the image background and the first heading background; much like the original Template:Bayesian statistics, but I can't figure out the syntax.

Hey Thumperward; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

Greetings. As part of a general improvement drive for WikiProject Mining, I was hoping to make some improvements to template:infobox mine (e.g. ordering, field additions, subtemplate for historical designation, etc.). However, it is redlocked. On the talk-page there I was referred to you, as you had earlier made a proposal to lower the protection level for it, and was wondering if you might be willing and able to take action on that so the improvement may move forward. Thanks for your time. Cheers! Morgan Riley ( talk) 19:38, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Thumperward, I left the following message at the talk page for the "Templates for discussion" page before I saw you had indeed, flagged the problem with all the anthropology navboxes.
I'm agnostic on whether to keep these subsections (although in the "case studies" case, I think they serve a purpose) but have no idea what technical problems my cutting and pasting have created for undoing them. Schrauwers ( talk) 18:42, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello Thumperward / Chris,
Thank you for taking the trouble to leave the above. I've had another template I tried to contribute removed without warning, so I appreciate the courtesy.

I found template:film timeline after creating template:decades in film, and deploying it in most of the articles to replace the hacked tables. please history merge these if want to keep your version, or suggest what we should do. I actually like the combination of {{ TOC limit}} with {{ Alphanumeric TOC}} in the actual "list of film" section (used in the later articles), as opposed to the single merged TOC used in the earlier articles. I will probably convert the earlier ones to use the later format when I have a chance. thank you. Frietjes ( talk) 16:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to look at the MaraDNS article. Since MaraDNS is my baby, it’s best if I do not edit the article. However, on my user page you can find some seven third party references that talk about MaraDNS, which can be used to help to improve the article. The article is terribly outdated an I would love it if a Wikipedia editor could go over it and make it current. Samboy ( talk) 23:58, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
