Requesting mediation on the subject of User:Launchballer's signature. I see you've had discussions with this user before, and since the user informed me that he had previous issues and my issue was never brought up then, I have decided to research this. I've so far found you have had issues there before, and would like you to help mediate this to make sure the user understands there is no "grandfathering" as it were of signatures. You may find the current discussion here. Thank you. — User:Technical 13 ( C • M • Click to learn how to view this signature as intended ) 16:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Good morning. Just wanted to say I liked the striking new look and wondered if a similar edit will be made of the other anthropology sidebars (such as "Medical anthropology", "Cyber anthropology", "Economic anthropology" etc)? These sidebars have all been copy pasted so the same issues exist for all (not to mention the transformation in appearance). The only subject of debate I see here is that there is an ongoing desire from multiple template editors to keep the width at 18 em. Is that a possibility? Thanks Schrauwers ( talk) 12:14, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

system it simply results in templates taking up an undue amount of vertical space. In particular cases where a narrower width is specifically required it can be re-added with a single declaration, but my personal preference is for templates to stop overriding the default width where possible.

Hi Chris, it's taken me a while, but I've finally got a draft of the Ping Fu article ready for review. I've started a discussion at Talk:WikiProject Biography and it would be great to get your feedback if you're still interested. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon ( Talk · COI) 14:24, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I had considered unblocking to be the correct course of action, but look:
Source is {{User:Technical 13/Userboxes/Blocked|duration=indef|start=05:27, April 3, 2013|end=11:10, April 4, 2013}}{{User:Technical 13/Userboxes/Blocked|duration=indef|start=05:27, April 3, 2013|end=11:10, April 4, 2013|TEST=2}}
Now, to me, that looks like a deliberate provocation. I'm drawing your eyes to it as the unblocking admin, because my eyes as one of those who suggested he could be trusted not to misbehave were drawn there too. They are displayed on his user page. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 21:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Switch statement, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Keyword ( 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.

Hello Thumperward,
I've noticed that you changed something with the Olympic event infobox. Why does it need to be changed? I've noticed that it became overly simple. The font is too small to be read when you changed everything back without modifying its aesthetics. Can you please revert it back? To be honest. Thank you.

Hello Thumperward. I wonder if you can help. I'm trying to find out how to reduce the size of an image containing a 7" single's custom face label when it appears in a single infobox. I asked at the Help desk – here's the relevant item – and John of Reading gave me a link to a discussion you contributed to back in late 2010. As that Help desk link will show, I'm simply interested in aesthetics: the reduced-size image that I was able to achieve in " Hari's on Tour (Express)" (which contains a song infobox) looks good, I think; whereas the full-size one in the likes of " World of Stone" is excessive, imo, for what is/was only a label in the centre of a 7". Would you happen to have any advice on how an image might be reduced in a single infobox, given the changes implemented in 2010? I notice that user:IbLeo, who appears to have spearheaded that discussion, is no longer active on wikipedia, so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I've also dropped user:gyrofrog a line, in the hope that might be able to help ... Thanks in advance. Best, JG66 ( talk) 07:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Regarding your actions at this ANI discussion[ [1]] I feel more research should have been completed beforehand. Please be aware of [ | this] where this group has been dragging this case out for a six month history. Please note the IP involved is clearly another IPsockpuppet of the page owner as identified in previous ANI complaint, Wtshymanski's comments and previously warned against [ [2]] by admin Dennis Brown after attempting to ban me using a new IP sockpuppet ID instead of his usual log in name.[ [3]] Yes, the editor in question is a PITA, to some, as his comments are sometimes comedic, sometimes annoying, and he doesn't discuss well, but he produces massive quantities of good edits. This could be construed as a pit dug to be fallen into by this group and indicates meatpuppetry, taking turns to revert the same text skillfully avoiding 3RR for each of them. 174.118.142.187 ( talk) 04:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I just have a quick question about this edit. Are the physical dimensions of hard drives normally given in millilitres? Because 20 millilitres (0.70 imp fl oz; 0.68 US fl oz) looks really odd. I tried to check the reference but it doesn't lead anywhere useful. I guess it moved and I couldn't find it. If the ml is correct would it be possible to explain why it is used rather than millimetres? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather ( talk) 15:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Greetings Chris. I noticed a comment you made recently that seemed directed at me where you inferred that the most prevalent editors talking about the us and them mentality between admins and editors do very little other than to agitate. I would mention that I do have more than 400, 000 edits and I was extremely active all over the project. What stopped that was the constant attitude by certain admins that they are above the content builders and even the rules and policies governing the project. I didn't stop editing because I don't want to. I stopped because its become nearly impossible to do more than a few edits without someone complaining about the speed of the edit, the method the edit was done, the type of edit, the decision to submit an article to one of the deletion/discussion boards without your motives questioned, etc. Every time I start to edit I have some overzealous admin with not enough to do drag me or some other editor off to ANI or something and I don't have time for that. I am here to edit and help build an encyclopedia but the us and them mentality is preventing that form occurring so I am trying to actively change that. Unfortunately I seem to be mentioned at every turn in some way about how much of a monster I am for trying to change the system and make it better so we can all get back to the purpose of this project. But since I am not an admin, I am nothing more than a second class citizen who isn't trusted to do any but the most basic and mundane of tasks and I need to constantly be watched, as do all other non admins, to ensure we don't break anything. Cheers. Kumioko ( talk) 15:57, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, could you please clarify something for me. An editor is racing through the film articles setting the image size in the infoboxes to 220 pixels (see for example) and I was wondering what impact, if any, this would have? As I have always understood we avoid forcing size settings so I just want to clarify a few things. Since the infobox width is set to 220 pixels anyway, will these edits have any impact at all, and if so, will it positively or negatively impact on readers?
