Snooker world rankings 1990/1991

I'm not expecting you to recall an edit from ten years ago in detail, but is there any reason that you removed Alex Higgins from the list in your edit to Snooker world rankings 1990/1991 in the Revision as of 16:10, 24 June 2013? As far as I can tell, from sources, he should be listed at 14th. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BennyOnTheLoose: I don’t know, but according to two of the sources in the article he wasn’t ranked 14th. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 13:55, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Snooker Scene lists him at 14th at the start of the season - perhaps he got fined points later. I'll have a look. Thanks! Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, I should have remembered, a ban, and 25 points deducted. This was after the initial ranking list was published. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Snooker lists

Hello. Back in 2012 you created a template called Template:Snooker ranking title winners. As far as I can ascertain, the only place this is used is in the List of snooker players by number of ranking titles. Now this is very clever and it works really well. I have recently been going through various snooker related lists changing {{flagicon|}} to the preferred {{flagathlete|}}. I would like to make this change to the List of snooker players by number of ranking titles but noticed that the template specifies using {{flagicon|}}{{sortname||}} for the players' names. Is there a specific reason for this? If not, I will go ahead with the change. I've copied the list into my sandbox and changed the flags etc. and it all seems to work OK. Take a look at it in my sandbox. Please post your answer to this message in the WT:SNOOKER/Snooker lists forum. Thank you. Alan (talk) 20:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AlH42: I think that’s just a remnant of a time when the table was sortable. Feel free to make the appropriate changes. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus}

CloseFPC script

Hey, is the FPC script still working for you? I can't make it work in my system. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:39, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Herald: I use User:Armbrust/closeFPC.js, but it's working just fine. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 23:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Jujutacular wasn't working for me. I'll give yours a go next time :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 00:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Armbrust

Hi Armbrust, I removed my name Here. I didn't do much in the restoration and I prefer not to be included. I hope that's Ok. Thanks for your contributions. Bammesk (talk) 03:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: No problem. I just didn't wanna assume how significant your contribution to the restoration was. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 16:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GT Names

Hey, thanks for updating some of the GT names. Haven't had much time recently, but I've been meaning to check through them—not sure if I ever asked Novem to update the bot in this regard (and possibly {{Article history}} needs to be updated as well?).

Not sure if I've ever thanked you in general for all your help at FGTC, but it is noticed and much appreciated. Aza24 (talk) 19:35, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day!

Thank you Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 04:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit description

Hi Armbrust, about this diff, it should say "restored by", not "edited by". There was lots of restoration there, far more than just edits. I normally mark it on the file page (under author) whether it's a "restoration" or an "edit". Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 18:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 23:31, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Telephone Tower with hoarfrost in Stockholm.jpg

Should this be classified as Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Engineering_and_technology/Electronics? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 02:34, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and um, pinging @Yann: Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 02:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~That would make sense.~~ Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:40, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know how FP categories work here, but there is very little electronics in this tower (sic). ;o) Yann (talk) 14:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, telephones are electronic. It's a switch tower, right? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 07:32, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Flinders Street Station

I'm not sure how you want to handle this, it's a little unusual of a situation. If I get a vote, it's at 5 supports, but I'm not sure we need rush it to promotion - it's going to be a fairly quick end-of-restoration-to-promotion time whatever we do. On the other hand, it's buried at the bottom of the page, so how many people will see it, I don't know. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 11:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to wait a little, but now it's closed. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Sorry if I put any pressure on you: Just wasn't sure how it worked. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 08:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation for Research Consultation

Hi Armbrust! I hope all is well. My name is Matt and I'm a graduate student researcher at Northwestern. Recently I've posted to the BAG IRC chat and the User Bots/Scripts Noticeboard soliciting feedback on research cases that I have selected for a research project. You can find more information about our research on our meta page. Our research is looking at WMF feature deployments' impact on user bots and scripts operation, and we really value the bot community's perspectives on how we are thinking about these events.

I'm sure that you're quite busy, and I completely understand if you do not have the time. Given your experiences operating ArmbrustBot over the last ~12 years, I just wanted to reach out and see if you had any thoughts that you may be willing to share on our characterizations of these feature deployments. Any information you share will not be included in any research reports, I'm just curious to know your thoughts on how we are framing these events. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Many thanks, Ggonnemm (talk) 05:41, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
