Well, that's annoying . . .
. . . that my ping didn't work: [1]. And it's not the first time someone has told me that one of my pings was lost in the last 10 days. Am I doing something wrong, or is there now better code to ping someone? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:57, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- You placed it inside the <s>text</s>. I wonder if that makes a difference? The thanks did come through.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:03, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- I wonder if the small text had anything to do with it. Last week I left pings on article talk pages for a couple of my frequent collaborators to come take a look at the articles, and they never received the pings. That defeats the purpose of the ping system. It wasn't crucial here, but I'm certainly going to be more cautious about relying on a ping in the future. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:09, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Dirtlawyer1 did that work?--Wehwalt (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2015 (UTC)- Sure did. Like a charm. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:14, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- OK. Dirtlawyer1--Wehwalt (talk) 03:15, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Clear as a bell. Maybe it has something to do with my comment to you not being on a separate line. I know the pings are tied to the signature time and date, so if you ever add a ping to a pre-existing comment, without adding a new signature, the ping will not work. Maybe my ping was tied to your signature time and date because I started my comment on the same line as your sig. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:23, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

- I think I saw something about don't add one when amending a comment as it won't send because the software tries to avoid a double ping. But I'm afraid I rarely read the instructions.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:27, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I can see you're a learn-by-doing kinda guy.

While I did question the complexity of your question, it was never my intent to question your intentions. — Ched : ? 08:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Gregor
Hello there, how's it going? I hope you're well. I've just put HRH Gregor the First, Sovereign Prince of the State of Poyais up at peer review here (and if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you...). An unusual one, this, but one I've enjoyed researching and writing very much. If you could find the time to have a glance through, any advice from you would be very much appreciated. Thanks and I hope you're having a fine week. Cheers, — Cliftonian (talk) 08:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- I will look it over. I've never heard of the gent, so it should be interesting. I'm fine, thanks, hope all is well with you.--Wehwalt (talk) 08:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Presidential numismatics
Hey Wehwalt, I'm taking a break from retirement for a bit--not sure how long, taking it a day at a time for now. It's really good to see you're still active and producing quality stuff. I don't intend to be as active in GA reviewing as I used to be, but the next time you put one up, feel free to ping me; I've missed reading your work.
I'm currently working on Thomas Jefferson and ran into a question that's exactly up your alley. Where could I find a reliable source for the statement "Thomas Jefferson's portrait appears on the U.S. $2 bill, nickel, $100 Series EE Savings Bond, and a Presidential Dollar"? Is it best to just link the four respective pages at the US Mint, or is there one page of something I could plug in there? Thanks as always for all you do here-- Khazar2 (talk) 14:26, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't see anything on the ANA site. Coin World cite seems to be down. It's a difficult target, remember the dollar was issued recently, so finding something since then that not only includes coins and the $2, but also the savings bond, could be difficult. I would suggest doing it piecemeal as you suggest. Remember that the $2 and savings bond are by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, not the Mint. I could get you two of the four in one source, but I'm dubious it is worth the loss of accessibility to the reader. Good to see you back. Take a long break from your break, if you like!--Wehwalt (talk) 14:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- That works, thanks. I've got no problem listing the four sources separately in the footnote. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:46, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- I appreciate the nice words and hope you are well, by the way.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm doing great, thanks. I started a new drug that miraculously gave me back my full ability to walk; Little Miss Khazar was born only after my illness, so she's over the moon to suddenly have a dad who can take her to the playground. Good times at the Khazar house. =) How's everything for you? -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

- Wonderful. I'm so glad. Things are going well here. A bit annoyed that my health insurer next year is offering me worse coverage at a higher price but there don't seem to be better Virginia policies out there.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:19, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Ugh, that is annoying. We just ran into the same with Mrs. Khazar's insurance through work, so we feel your pain. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:21, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was perfectly happy with my pre-Obama policy I had had for fifteen years, but I wasn't allowed to keep it. Figures.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:30, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
