Andrew Paterson (photographer)
Hi Maproom,
Thanks for altering the three link references last month on the Andrew Paterson page.
The link led to the digital magazine about Paterson, which was discovered to have suffered some corruption issues during uploading.
These have now been fixed and the new link for reference numbers 8 - 15 - 22 is:
http://content.yudu.com/Library/A3ycmb/PatersonsInvernessPo/resources/
In your previous message you did say it was quicker to do these alts yourself than explain them. I hope this is still the case.Adrian (talk) 15:57, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Happy new year.
Herveus1
- And a happy new year to you.
- I am unsure whether you are asking me to change the links again, to the URL you supply above. I will gladly do so if this is what you want. Maproom (talk) 17:09, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Maproom. Yes please, can you update the links again. (If you look at page 49 for example on the digital magazine the top right photo was corrupted during the upload to the site.) The document has since been fixed, (and an error in fact corrected), and re-uploaded. Each time it's uploaded though it generates a new URL. It would be much appreciated if you could add the new URL above to refs 8, 15 and 22. Adrian (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Done. I have made the three references into a single named reference, with page numbers given each time it is used. This will make any subsequent updates easier to do. It has changed the numbering from 15 onwards. Maproom (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Cheers for that Maproom.

Map of Catalonia within Spain and Europe
By restoring the previous map of Catalonia you're being politically motivated and therefore you're not neutral — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 00:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- My only objective is to provide a better location map for readers. I thank you for making it clear that your motivation in the dispute is political. Maproom (talk) 08:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Burchart test page
Hi. If you want to create test pages, the best place to do that is in your user space rather than in WP:article space. Thanks. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:52, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Indeed. And that is what I did, as you may be able to deduce from my contibutions list; though my actual test page is no longer shown there since I blanked it. I originally made a null edit to Burchart in the hope of fixing a formatting error; and apparently succeeded. I then "tidied up" what I had done by removing the null edit, perhaps this was a mistake. I concluded from my subsequent tests that there had never been anything wrong with the article; presumably I had had a defective version of it in my browser cache. Maproom (talk) 08:46, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Eh? I deduced what you did by your creation of a page in article space called Burchart test page, which I submitted for deletion. One version of your main user page had a link to it, which you removed with your next edit after that. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:01, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Please comment on Talk:Electronic cigarette
The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Electronic cigarette. Legobot (talk) 04:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- I wish I could tell Legobot not to mention that specific article to me. This is the fourth or fifth time it has sent me there. Electronic cigarette is controlled by shills of the tobacco industry. That industry is big enough that it can hire really competent shills, so there's little chance of resisting them. Maproom (talk) 08:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Weierstrass Institute Page
Thank you very much for your comment at the Help Desk Talk page and your activitiy at the Weierstrass Institute's Web page.
Finding good external links as references is not THAT easy as the institute is, although well acknowledged within the scientific community, as a mathematical research institute not of such a broad public popularity and thus there are not SOO many sources reporting on it. But I have included some further, external references that should be suitable.
Would prefer to remain the title with the full name. Although Weierstrass Institute is also feasible, the long one is more common and this way the page coincides with the German one.Tostada (talk) 15:19, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Really? If a friend says "I've been offered a job at the Weierstrass Institute", I will congratulate them. If they say "I've been offered a job at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics", I will wonder why they're talking so much.
- And, I've just noticed the header you used for this section. Maproom (talk) 15:28, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Well, I personally agree, but my boss does not...
Is it to bold to ask you to have a view at the new references and send me a short notice in case it is still not sufficient to get the mentioned box removed?
Thank you very much! Tostada (talk) 17:05, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have looked at the references. Here are my comments.
- 1 is marginally acceptable.
- 2 is a listing, rather than a "significant discussion".
- 3 is a mere mention.
- 4,5,9 are not independent sources.
- 6,8 are in German, which I cannot read (they may be acceptable as establishing notability, I just can't tell).
- 7 does not mention the Weierstrass Institute.
- I have moved the article to Weierstrass Institute, leaving a redirect at Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (though I doubt anyone will ever type in that full name). If your boss complains, point out that the article United Kingdom has that short name, rather than "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", in accordance with Wikipedia policy as stated at WP:CONCISE.

A kitten for you!
because.....who doesn't need another cat!?
thank you for your feedback on "history of Jews in NZ." You kicked my ass, but it was needed.
Carolynimhoff (talk) 01:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- My intention was not to kick your ass, just to answer your questions. But looking back over what I wrote, I realise that it would also have been polite, accurate, and helpful to point that you have been doing a great job with that article. Anyway, thank you for the kitten! Maproom (talk) 11:14, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind reply to my questions at the Help Desk. I have removed the decorative layout from the article, I somehow didn't think it would be acceptable. Cheers, >MinorProphet (talk) 17:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

I have already warned Jinno.e re. edit warring on the Analog Pussy article. While I appreciate that you have started a discussion on the article's talk page to try to resolve the issue, the three revert rule also applies to you, so please don't revert again.

Apologies: I didn't realise the artcle was in the middle of an edit war. Just to let you know I (independently) stripped it of some unsourced material. Cheers, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 10:33, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
