Hi Krimpet, you deleted this image on 15 November 2007 on the grounds of CSD 18. There is one problem, however, with this picture at Commons as it has been put under a {{PD-art}} license which requires a source to be mentioned. Can you tell me if any source information was provided at the original image page you have deleted? Thanks for your help, AFBorchert (talk) 08:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
SupportYou've always come across to me as a thoughtful and kind admin with at least an ounce of common sense, even when you opposed me on my third RFA. Such was the reason why I supported you during Bedford-gate; you're a decent person who came under attack ostensibly for being female. Consequently I'll be willing to give you support when you come under fire for such actions in the future, especially if Bedford Theresa has a go at you; he lost his bit for being sexist, and he seems to be still beating the dead "womenz=evil!" horse.

Best regards, --Winger84 (talk) 06:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC) About the Deletion of "List of fictitious movies"Hello. I was looking for the List of Fictitious Movies article and discovered that you had deleted it last year. I respectfully disagree with this decision. However, most of my experience in Wikipedia is simple editing, so I'm not quite sure of the proper protocol to contest a past deletion. The article on contesting and reviewing deletions is a little confusing, and I don't know if it even applies to such an old deletion. I'm asking you -- my rival in this -- for help so I don't appear as a stiffnecked troll or something. Basically, the point I wish to make is that Wikipedia continues to maintains Lists of fictitious plays, books, musicals, and other media; I would argue that the list of films is exactly the same as far as notability. What is the proper steps to take in this case? Thanks for your help.

See his talk page--Philogo 00:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC) {{delimitnum}} and {{val}}Krimpet, I’ve been conversing with Werdna (perma-link to discussion thread here). There are two templates, {{delimitnum}} and {{val}}, that delimit numbers (add narrow spaces) in values like this: 6.0224438467(40)×10−23 kg. Unfortunately, both these templates must rely upon math-based techniques and both suffer from unpredictable rounding errors. For instance, coding I had told Werdna that all we needed was a character-counting parser function to use in these templates. Such a parser function would continually be asked the following question: “are there five or more remaining digits in the string?” If so, move over three more digits, add a space, and ask the question again. Details are at bugzilla:15677 and a detailed description of its functionality is here. He responded that the developer community discussed this request and apparently didn’t want to set a new precedent of creating new parser functions as it risked encouraging more such requests. He suggested that he might be able to write an entire magic word but had to back away from that offer, citing that too much is on his plate right now. He suggested I contact you or Mr.Z-man. I thought I would start with the first name on his short list: you. Can you help in any way? Whereas it would be nice to see an easier-to-use template as is described in bugzilla:15677, looking at the number of articles that currently link to {{val}} and {{delimitnum}}, it would probably be better, if we were going to just make one template, to just re-write {val} with the character-counting capability. All it needs is to not choke on big numbers and not have rounding errors. The best outcome of all, would be to have both delimitnum and val.

Hi
There are some questions at the bottom of the talk page for this script - does it still work? Cirt (talk) 21:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC) Joke accountsI take your point completely; but I think that we are so often up our own butts here that some constructively meant satire is a valuable safety valve as long as it doesn't get pointy. In the UK, where I live, for example, politics was never the same again after That Was the Week That Was comprehensively and sometimes cruelly debunked the status quo. I'm not suggesting that should happen here, because we have enough outside critics (if we care). However, the occasional well-meant sideways critique should not be treated as being evil; it's one mechanism by which societies tend to self-analyse and self-regulate. I think your addition is a good start, but might benefit from amplification to demonstrate that although the goal is to build an encyclopedia, there's no reason to be po-faced bunters in doing so.

My personal user page had facts about me that were completely and totally true. It wasn't nonsense or gibberish. You may have considered it to be little silly, but it was still factual, and it was my own personal user page.

Commons image transferHi. Back in 2007 a rather irresponsible Commons user copied File:PazandakGrader1918.jpg to Commons without copying source or description info and slapping an unsupported license on the image different from that here. And you deleted the copy here as being a duplicate of an image on Commons. I've just taken care of the copy on Commons which had been listed for deletion there. Probably old news, but I wanted to mention it to you just in case to keep an eye out for such bad "copying" to Commons and not delete the local copy here if the Commons copy is badly flawed until/unless the Commons copy can be fixed.

If an editor's account is blocked here, so that they cannot create new accounts, what happens if they go to another wiki, say Commons, and create a new account there, where they are not blocked? Would the global login system automatically create the account here, despite the block? This has nothing to do with my account, by the way, I'm curious about a brand-new editor's account. Thanks.

Filter 296Hi Fran Rogers, I noticed your creation of filter 296. Unfortunately, we are really at the absolute limits of how much the filter can handle, and have been working very hard to compress the filters so that edits do not go through unchecked. Do you have any objections to me merging this into the already-existing filter 52? This would save valuable conditions. If you're trying to detect something in particular beyond just blocking the edits, perhaps I can be of assistance in crafting a more efficient filter.
