Mayan Humour

On the Base 13 page the comment on Mayan's lack of a sense of humour was a reference to the previous section in which Douglas Adams states that "Nobody writes jokes in base 13." I don't believe that this is irrelevant as it supports Adams' contention. Also, humourous comments about humour are funny. Christopherodonovan (talk) 12:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Date format in Portal: Current events/Sports/Sidebar

Hi

Thanks for pointing my attention to the manual of style regarding format of date range... If you have some spare time, go ahead and fix all the dates in this article...--Nitsansh (talk) 00:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

VM 2009

I have already done this. What you are doing is pointless. I have fixed all the games and you just keep changing it. Norum (talk) 20:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Check the article history: it was done at 20:29, before you started messing around. —JAO • T • C 20:44, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I was trying to save my work at the same time you did, that's why we got edit error. Plus if you actually started working before I did, this means you were doing this before the game was over. From what I understand, an event must be over in order to start making updates on Wikipedia. Norum (talk) 21:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, it doesn't really matter when you start working as long as you don't save statements before they are fact. (I didn't actually leave my couch until just after the end signal, though, so I didn't start editing before the game was over either. It was a very simple edit so it didn't exactly take several minutes.) I certainly agree that an edit conflict masquerading as an undo is a weird occurrence though (and that's exactly what I wrote in my edit summary). I can't remember ever seeing that before. —JAO • T • C 21:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

The context of this message is at Talk:FN MAG#KSP58 redirect

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on FN MAG. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Nukes4Tots (talk) 15:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Ice hockey WC: Why Germany can't be relegated???

It's unclear from your edit how Germany is safe from relegation, with only 3 points and 2 games remaining?--Nitsansh (talk) 11:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Aye, it could—and should—have been clearer. Good work with clarifying it. —JAO • T • C 12:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Refdesk conversion

Oh, you weren't supposed to reveal that crucial assumption that the ml was water! Now the OP has an easy answer, but hopefully they'll check back to see whether the question included "in aqueous solution". Homework questions are such a fine line between help and not-help... (No probs though - you phrased it well enough) Franamax (talk) 10:57, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Olympic Names

Context at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics/Archive 11#Article Naming

um, it wasn't letting me save it there but I'll just see if it works here. some syntax error... wierd.

There's just several ways to say the same thing ya know. WP:NC usually uses Okham's (spelled right?) Razor. The Olympic Website lists them by city name and year, Like Turin 2006, Atlanta 1996. http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/index_uk.asp list of names. I was just thinking wiki would align more towards that naming, rather than a generic Summer Olympic 2020.Moonraker0022 (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Right. Well, I prefer the way it is right now but others might not. I copied your comment to the project talk page. —JAO • T • C 11:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Malaysia–Sweden relations

Do you have time to help find references for Malaysia–Sweden relations. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:32, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Bundesliga (shooting)

Updated DYK query On June 10, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bundesliga (shooting), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Joseph Priestley lead image

I have implemented an Infobox Scientist in the lead of the Joseph Priestley article, effectively right-aligning the much-disputed placement of the image and left my rationales on Talk:Joseph Priestley. Because I strenuously disagree with the alleged consensus about violating guidelines about image placement and consensus across a wide body of other articles, I have offered to open an RfC for more editors' involvement.
