Regarding that pending edits on Robert Lanza, I reverted it as it removed a bunch of negative viewed comments, and added positive ones, some being unreferenced. A couple were also poorly formatted and worded, such as he forces a reappraisal of this hoary epistemological dilemmaLanza subsequently published several books that further.. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
ModuleI like what you are doing so i don't want to rain on your parade in public in case it is just an example. But FYI just in case: MOS:FOREIGNITALIC says that e.g. Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques must use {{Lang}}, not italic markup. Which is partly why is asked if a
Hello! I didn't mean to ask for any additional functionality when I pinged you in the GAN thread; it was just a friendly note of a potential use-case. The module looks great to me, thanks for working on it! Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 18:03, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Re your AIV reportI blocked 110.164.139.93 for one month after reviewing all their edits. If there were specific edits you believe ought to be revdel'd, feel free to send me (or another admin) an email, though at first glance I don't see anything that transcends "ordinary" vandalism.

HelloI just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that you are banned from posting comments on my talk page, unless, of course, you are required to by Wikipedia policy. If you are required to post a notice on my talk page, please clearly indicate in the edit summary what policy you are doing so under. Any other posted comments will be deleted without being read. Please note that this ban also applies to pinging me. Also, if you email me to get around this ban, I will assume that you are agreeing in advance that the entire contents of the e-mail can be released to anyone I wish to. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:07, 8 February 2023 (UTC) Belated thanks for your work on the template, especially for the very simple and effective fix for the case issue. I'm afraid most of the rest of your changes go over my head, but I trust they're also valuable. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
That barnstar design thingHi, Fred, thanks for your feedback at the barnstar request. Could I prevail upon your good skills and good humor for one more thing? It concerns my last comment there, but basically, it's this: I liked Jerium's last change at File:Scripting Barnstar.png (as viewable at {{The Scripting Barnstar}}, with that little screen monitor lower right. I wanted to try to replace the '>_' with a snippet of code, so I tried with "Paint", and came up with File:Scripting Barnstar-2.jpg (better viewable at {{The Scripting Barnstar/sandbox}}). But I'm pretty bad at it; I managed to get the code snippet in there, but the old characters are still there, plus it flipped the background to black, which was unintentional. If you have the bandwidth, can you have a look, and try a fix to Barnstar-2 (or just start over, using Barnstar-1 as a base) and replace Barnstar-2 with what I was trying to do? Which is basically identical to Barnstar-1, except with that little code snippet in there, replacing the '>_'. Feel free to make any other changes to the image that you think make sense. Thanks ,Mathglot (talk) 05:15, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Spotting uncommon white-space charactersHi, Fred! Thank you for your cleanup efforts, such as this edit. I've seen editors making that fix before, and it's made me wonder: How does one detect such characters? I can't spot the difference in the traditional source editor. — voidxor 16:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

Buke & GaseHello. If possible please change the short description on Buke & Gase to be very brief. The current one is about twice as long as what fits in the search box. Although I do think that an alternative spelling is not a candidate for a possible article on the same topic. Wizmut (talk) 02:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
