This is terribly belated - and, the first barnstar I've given (so I'm not sure, do I put this on your talk page? user page? ah well, you can move it if you wish). A couple of months back you helped a great deal with getting me (a newbie then called 'lacbolg' through some weirdness. I've stuck around, changed my username, and having a ball. Thanks in large part to you. :) Wikipelli Talk 02:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Did this fizzle out? I've tweaked it a bit as someone had slapped a "failed" on there. FYI there is some discussion that mentions you at Template talk:WPMED#Requested move.

Tim Song (talk) 00:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC) Just a heads-up: the page went off semi-protected status in April, and was vandalized today by I believe the same anonymous person who was doing it last year, with the same information that the subject wished to be kept off the page for legal reasons. I will keep you updated if it persists, and I made note of it in the Talk page there. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC) Update: The vandalism is persistent, with apparent intent to "out" and do harm.

CheckuserHello Happy, I was looking into people with check user permissions and your name was in the list of users who have that right. The Korean cuisine article has been the subject of several edit wars over the past few years, but has been stable for a good amount of time. Recently an anonymous IP contrib placed a long-winded diatribe about the article being racist and demanded that several sections be deleted as such; almost immediately a long time contrib, User:Melonbarmonster2 f.k.a. User:Melonbarmonster, with a history of edit warring over articles with a Korean subject jumped in and began blowing through the article in the name of deleting all he thought was wrong. This has raised suspicions for me about the timing of the contrib's actions because the diatribe the IP contrib posted used much of the same phrasing and grammatical patterns that the contrib has used in past postings and arguments concerning these subjects. Is there any way you could do a check user on him and the IP contrib, User:86.171.23.89, aren't related or puppets of Melonbarmonster? If you can't, can you point me in the proper direction to where I could pass the request on? Thanks, --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 18:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Location (talk) 19:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC) Template debugging [done]Melon, a long time ago you kindly set up Template:WikiProject HOP. Somebody has today moved it (to Template:WikiProject History of photography), whereupon I notice (on its own page) that it has formatting errors and even manages to complain about how it shouldn't be visible. (I note that the problems predated the move; I can't blame the mover.) I could invest an hour in template debugging for dummies, but my appetite for WP drudgery has its limits and I've a hunch that you're used to this kind of thing and can fix it in a very short time. Care to take a look? -- Hoary (talk) 10:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Tim Starling's commentYou may have seen his comment. It seems to me that if we're going to split the UI from the backend, then a function like the two we refactored, insertNewArticle() and updateArticle(), will need to be created to handle the watching/unwatching and redirecting; but in that case, why did they want to deprecate those two functions? I didn't intentionally try to regress from the earlier work that was done to achieve that separation; I just didn't know that they even had such an agenda, or that $watchthis had been purposefully taken out of the hook.

Hello Melons! I have a question to ask of you, when it comes to a potentially problematic user creating more than 1 account, what is your view like? Now, as I understand it from looking into the contribution history of the two main active accounts (1.RomDolce & 2.Kumpayada), the User:RomDolce claimed to have forgotten his password and so he created a new account (Kumpayada) but somehow later in his statement, he claimed (on the page of an unregistered account name User:Kumpayada !) to be able to login again as RomDolce. Thoughts? Best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 05:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
ACE2010 coordination pageHi, I've created it, incompetently, of course. It will need the attention of someone who knows what they're talking about in terms of page creation. I'm going to use last year's election page as it was just before the start of voting as the basis of a draft for the ACE2010 page. If we're to start the call for nominations in early November, and the voting in the second half of November, we still have more than three weeks to prepare. I think there should be call for volunteers at the Village Pump. Is that the right place? I'll ping you via email too, since you haven't been around for a few days.

VileSo one election organiser names one of his colleagues and calls him "vile" in a very publicly watchlisted edit-summary.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online AmbassadorsHi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes. If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply! You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones). I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:01, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Template fixHello, there. Long time no see... I hope Wikipedia and the world beyond have been treating you well. There's something bugging me in {{Cite Hansard}} and I've been thinking that you might be able to fix it.

The template is not protected but I can't make sense of the code; I have already had to revert myself once. It's a small detail, but these are the ones which tend to distract me the most, so perhaps you can silence one of the many voices in my head crying about loose ends.

template questionHi Happy-melon. I am trying to sort out a template/categorization problem, and can't quite get me head around the noinclude feature. In {{NJ Monmouth County Freeholders}} the {{As of}} template is used for potentially dated information. The way it is working now, the template doesn't show up in the maintenance category, but all of the pages where it is transcluded do get categorized. This is completely the opposite of what should happen. How would it get turned around so that the template is categorized for updating, but not the pages containing the transclusion? Thanks.

CSD G12 and assertion of permissionYou and Moonriddengirl added a provision concerning assertion of permission to G12 in this edit. Prior to that time there was, according to this discussion, consensus for the position that a "credible assertion" of should defeat a G12 nom and refer it to Wikipedia:Copyright problems, even if the claimant had done nothing to give WP permission (though I'll be darned if I can find any language to that effect in the version of G12 that existed on the date of that discussion; it appears to me that they may have been having an apples–and–oranges discussion). Your version, which has persisted until now, says: "For equivocal cases (such as where there is a dubious assertion of permission, or where free-content edits overlie the infringement), please consult Wikipedia:Copyright violations." I'm confused by what you meant by "dubious" assertion in reference to assertions of permission which haven't been approved through WP processes. Is "dubious" intended to mean all such assertions or only those which aren't credible, or something else entirely? Basically, I'm trying to figure out:

Autoconfirmed RfCA formal Request for Comment has now been started on this topic. Feel free to contribute; best, Ironholds (talk) 20:27, 3 April 2011 (UTC) Template helpHi Happy-Melon. I am calling on you out of the blue since I know you have great template technical expertise and thought you might be willing to help. There has been discussion of getting rid of the use of {{hang on}}. For implementation I came up with {{db-meta/sandbox2}}. As you can see, instead of being instructed to place a hangon tag, a direct link to a preformatted talk page discussion is provided. Meanwhile, there's an ifexists parser which places a message informing the creator they haven't edited the talk page yet (and also serves to tell admins there is no talk page at a glance)—it calls {{Hang on/notice2}} for this message. If the talk page exists, however, it calls {{Hang on/notice3}} instead, which gives a a message telling administrators to check the talk page before deleting. The problem is with the calling of these two notice templates. It works perfectly in testing—you place the db-meta/sandbox2 template on an article that has no talk page, it calls the right one and the same for an article without a talk page. However, it doesn't work at all when it passes through to the db-templates. I know because I actually added the changes to db-meta, here, and then checked a whole bunch of pages at CAT:CSD and regardless of whether they had talk pages or not, neither of the messages displayed. Maybe you can fix it/tell me what the problem is?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I was somewhat confused because the button to contest the speedy deletion was missing. (Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion says it should exist...) The button somehow gots lost between these revisions. Do you have any explanation or know how to insert the button again? (Actually I simply removed the tag because I didn't found the button, so this was not quite correct.) --Cyfal (talk) 20:09, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
New release editnoticeYou can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Yaris678 (talk) 16:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC) Hello Happy, I am trying to create a blank template to create other WikiLove templates. The issue I am having is with the substitution functions. Can you help? --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 20:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC) AutopatrolledI trust you're not serious about RfA :) but is there not something to be said for giving out the 'autopatrolled' flag more liberally: tools on-wiki are supposed to be no big deal and based on the balance of trust vs. potential harm rather than some ludicrously high threshold? ╟─TreasuryTag►consulate─╢ 09:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Dev questionRe your helpful response here - do you have any idea when r82285 might go live? cheers, PS can you reply on my user talk - it'll serve the additional purpose of testing the email notification system. Rd232 talk 14:18, 23 May 2011 (UTC) Headings in category pagesHi, you may recall discussions at VPT like this. As I understand it, in early March, MediaWiki was changed so that that sortkeys beginning with non-capital non-Latin letters (such as μ σ τ) should appear on cat pages under the headings of their capital forms (Μ Σ Τ etc.) instead of under "themselves". Do you recall where the proposal/discussion was made and approved for implementation? This is in relation to recent postings at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting#Categorization of stub categories and Template talk:Stub category#Sorting. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:07, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Peace is contagiousAs another admin advised, I'm following up on a WP:OVERSIGHT issue. You were involved previously redacting posts by User:Peace is contagious on his talk page. He is at it again there, making personal claims about the Baker family ... including a medical claim about one of the Baker children. I think that really crosses a line. As well, if he's genuinely so close to the family, I believe there's a COI issue and he should not be editing that article. I appreciate your help very much. -- 00:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Thank You!

Hidden navbar on Template:AsboxHowdy. In my eternal trawling of the database for odd-looking fish, I've come across the hidden navbar on the Asbox template. I'm trying to assess the usefulness of this feature; as one of either it's users or implementers, I'd like to draw your attention to Template talk:Asbox#Why the navbar ?. - TB (talk) 21:09, 2 August 2011 (UTC) Somehow it looks like I jumped the kjew in the editprotect-list. I don't know how or why. But for the record is this, where I mentioned your name. -DePiep (talk) 23:48, 4 August 2011 (UTC) Question on templatesProblem: I keep forgetting to log in before editing. I don't want to stay logged in when I'm not at the computer. Possible solution: Put a template on my Office page (the landing page I hit every time I go to Wikipedia since it's my only bookmark) that tells me whether I'm logged in or not. Are you aware of any way to do that? causa sui (talk) 21:39, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Random portal componentCould you make an option on this that if there is no header, it will ignore it like it does with footer? TYVM --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 00:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC) Problem(s) with template 'hidden' on http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/cmnHi Happy-melon, I'm Dudy1 from Germany. As you perhaps know there is a Chinese Mandarin Wiki in the Wiki-incubator. But the people who work on it obviously just make up this wiki with the Chinese transcription system Pinyin. That naturally makes this wiki unreadable for non-Chinese unless - and that's my/the idea one would add the Chinese signs/characters at the same time. So I came along the template:hidden and thought one could make it usable for the cmn-wiki. I copied the source-text to the cmn-wiki and it does work a bit. But there are problems with picture-files where the hide/show bar influences the position of pictures. The other problem is, that it would be better to have the possibility of filling in the pinyin (transcription) as well as Chinese characters for longer texts (let's say a paragraph) so that one has not to count in advance how many letters fit in one row. There ist an example on my user page here: User:Dudy001#Hidden and one example page on wcm-wiki (Three Gorges Dam): Here also an example of a 'normal' wcm-article: Wp/cmn/Jiāngsū Shěng Perhaps you have an idea how to solve this problem or you know someone who does?Dudy001 (talk) 12:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Help:Strip markersSince I have encountered this twice in two weeks and I keep forgetting what the hell they are; thus, I created Help:Strip markers. The explanation is based on comments you made at VPT. Please review and edit mercilessly. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 17:52, 16 October 2011 (UTC) MediaWiki (release|version) historyHello Happy-melon, I saw you are a sysop here, and I wanted a enwiki sysop to take action on MediaWiki version history. :) MediaWiki history used to be at MediaWiki release history, then on November 2010 it was decided to merge it to MediaWiki. Now on October 2011, Yaron K. decided to split it again [3], to MediaWiki version history (he was probably unaware of the previous title). Could you merge both histories ? They are the same 'page'. I would prefer to keep the traditional name, since I expect there will be more links to the old one (including mw.org), but that's a minor issue, as hey can be changed, and the other page should be redirected to the winner them anyway. Thanks. Platonides (talk) 21:39, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
