A Note on threading:
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply. Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to. please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy |

Year?Hi John, I presume you meant 2016, not 2015, with this edit... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:20, 2 February 2016 (UTC) WP:CLUEDYK that ...every time we WP:AGF, somewhere in heaven an angel gets her wings. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
MOSFLAGRe your revert. As you are aware, I have started a discussion at WP level. FYI, MOSFLAG already states In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself. My edit was merely to clarify that. Your particpation at the discussion is requested. Mjroots (talk) 20:06, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
IP is backThe IP 85.130.221.249 who vandalizes the Sting page is back. Rodericksilly (talk) 21:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Checking in on Walmart articleHello John. We talked here before about my suggested updates to the Walmart article, and you said you would look at them to see what could be done. Please let me know if you have any questions on any of the changes I've suggested. I think they're fairly straightforward and uncontroversial, but I'm happy to discuss anything you might see as an issue. Thanks, JLD at Walmart (talk) 22:05, 4 February 2016 (UTC) Thanks for your support
Not at all, you were are a strong candidate and I am sure you will do fine with the tools. Having said that, if there is ever anything you need advice or support over, please don't hesitate to ask. --John (talk) 12:38, 6 February 2016 (UTC) The Signpost: 03 February 2016
Phil CollinsWe have a consistently disruptive IP user on this page 217.149.252.162. Please could you give him a warning because it's getting quite repetitive now. Rodericksilly (talk) 17:16, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Charming new contributorDear Mr. Admin, would you care to look at this edit? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Vandal Problem/Thanks for the Welcome!Hi John, thank you for the greeting and the information. I've been a long time reader and slowly working my way into editing, so all of the information you provided is very welcome. On another note, I just undid some vandalism on the Josiah Willard Gibbs featured article. Upon looking at the address that made the edit (50.206.252.26) it seems to have a long history of vandalism. I tried to report this on the block page, but it didn't seem to post successfully. Perhaps you could tell me what I did wrong, or look into the problem yourself? Again, thanks for the help! Hoff0839 (talk) 20:36, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Legacypac's commentsYou restored the incorrect, unsourced version here [1] Please look at talk. Legacypac (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Right place I think. I'm asking you to look at the correctness of your edit and to consider reversing it, cause you never posted on the talk page and it looks like you are making an admin decision in a content dispute.

Language matterHello again John! If possible, perhaps you could help me with a few questions related to the English language. Please just leave it unanswered, if you don't care or have no time etc. I already have a great deal to thank you for. So please just ignore my questions if you for instance think that I should have known the answers - or for any other reason what so ever. But I ask the questions after having searched my old "English Grammar" school-book as well as elsewhere. My troubles are the else rather simple words while / whilest or whilst (Lately have I also got confused over the spelling) and similar among / amongst (if the latter even is correctly spelled). If you perhaps could give me a brief explenation of how and when one shall use the "+st form", so to speak, then you would help me a lot. I don't like to not understand things which else is of interest to me. But cheers in any case ! Boeing720 (talk) 00:13, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Vincent van GoghHi John, VvG is consistently the nr 1 or 2 most popular visual arts page by reader views, and myself and Modernist are trying to organise a FAC push. Iridescent sort of recommended that I pull in the best copyeditors the site has, so here I am, cap in hand. Have seen over the years what you are capable of and know the level of skill, asking for help. Have also asked Eric and Ling. Wishlisting and best, Ceoil (talk) 11:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
refs for vincentI hope to standardize the citation format... We might want to discuss... Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 12:00, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
FavourYou've helped me before so I wondered if you might again. Earlier this month I came across Ann Cryer whose article appears to have been the victim of a hoax, trivial nonsense added to it apparently sourced to the local paper. It seems to have gone on for years. I removed it earlier this month and it has been reverted by an IP who has inserted it previously. Two views on the talk page are in favour of its removal. Do you think its worth protecting it? I rarely get involved with BLPs but I don't think a hoax should be constantly repeated here. J3Mrs (talk) 12:35, 24 February 2016 (UTC) |
