Sorry about this

Whoever the individual is, he/she has been targeting me for weeks on different IP addresses and sock puppets. I apologize that you assisting me resulted in you being unjustly attacked. For the life of me, I do not know what I did to wrong this person. The only former user I could suspect of this is User:Almighty Camel, but, other than him, I am at a total loss to who is doing this. Again sorry, and I hope that is the last you will hear from the person.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:11, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

It isn't a problem TheGracefulSlick. I'm just trying to help a fellow editor out by stopping trolls/vandals. I've dealt with worse just in the past few days (nastier/more persistent vandalism). In any case, I appreciate your response; thanks! Dustin (talk) 01:14, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Re: Wiki you now, Wiki you later!

Re your message: Yes, it probably would have been better if I used popups' revert like I usually do instead on the second edit, but in the long run, it doesn't matter that much. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you mate for your kind advice. Realmmb 16:20, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Realmmb: It isn't a problem! One more, thing, but in case you didn't notice, there should be a "new section" tab/button near the top of the page which you can use to easily start a new discussion thread.

Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Regarding User talk:Justdoinsomeedtits. Thanks, Fazbear7891 (talk) 22:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Fazbear7891: I am actually aware of those templates although I appreciate the notification. Twinkle makes it especially easy to issue notices, warnings, etc. Sometime I just feel that I can better put my feelings in a handtyped notice which is why I did so (plus the blanking notice is for unexplained blanking, but this user had given a reason in his/her edit summary albeit a poor one), but again, thanks for taking the time to notify me. Dustin (talk) 22:33, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Vandals who recieve personal, handtyped messages may even encourage a vandal to vandalize more because they feel that their actions have been "acknowledged".see Wikipedia:The motivation of a vandal. so that is why I prefer boilerplate templates over handtyped messages if I assume bad faith over blatant vandalism. --Fazbear7891 (talk) 22:53, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
@Fazbear7891: Had the behavior continued to persist, maybe I would have assumed bad faith, but I think it is better to start out by assuming good faith even though the edit in question was apparently unconstructive. It wasn't blatant vandalism and it hadn't gotten to the point of pure disruption yet, so I wanted to make the message customized. Plus, again, while the edit summary was a pretty poor reason, it was a reason, hence the {{uw-delete1}} template did not seem appropriate. Dustin (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Userbox

Unhelpful discussion/fringe views

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

We could go into a discussion about the American government's frequent use of state terrorism and state-sponsored terrorism throughout the years (meeting your definition) in a variety of places from Cambodia to Laos to Vietnam, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba, Republic of Congo, Chile, Western Sahara, Angola, East Timor, Salvador, El Salvador, Haiti, Libya, Panama, Indonesia, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others; perpetrated either by US forces, US-backed militias or dictators deliberately placed in power by the United States.

However, frankly, I doubt the conversation will take us anywhere. This is a considerably large topic, taking up two whole wikipedia pages: American state terrorism and United States and state-sponsored terrorism. Realise that the opinion within the user-box is a relatively widespread opinion, throughout the world, from Europe to Asia to Africa - par the United States of course.

Finally, whether you 'appreciate' the userbox or not, is not of my concern. Wikipedia is open source. Why not criticise the userbox's supporting Naziism or fascism?

FYI, I live in the United Kingdom.

DocHeuh (talk) 16:59, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Are you seriously comparing the United States to Pakistan? You don't know a thing about what goes on in the United States. FYI, the page "American state terrorism" does not actually exist; it just redirects to United States and state-sponsored terrorism. Dustin (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
1. I never compared the United States to Pakistan - I stated that the United States participated in state terrorism against Pakistan.
2. I misquoted the link - this one works: American state terrorism
3. Even if there wasn't a factual basis to American state terrorism, that would still be no excuse to participate in disruptive editing and remove it from a user box gallery. Just because the user box upsets you, is no excuse for such behaviour, or leaving petty comments verging on personal attacks on my talk page, regarding my contributions to Wikipedia.
FYI, You'll find more information on these pages if two is not enough...
DocHeuh (talk) 00:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
I will again invoke Wikipedia's article on terrorism: ""Terrorism is commonly defined as violent acts (or the threat of violent acts) intended to create fear (terror), perpetrated for an economic, religious, political, or ideological goal, and which deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (e.g., neutral military personnel or civilians)." - In the recent past, the only of the three which is met is the second criteria. The United States is not "deliberately targeting or disregarding the safety of non-combatants" or committing violent acts for the purpose of propagating fear. Dustin (talk) 00:44, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
And I will again repeat that we could go into a discussion, but it would take us nowhere - whether you agree or not, you have no right to remove it. On your comment however, the finanical gains that the US defense contractors make are stupendous (see the Military Industrial Complex) - this would classify as economic. In regards to political, America is widely regarded as a practitioner of imperialism, most likely the last in the world. DocHeuh (talk) 00:51, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
I hate to make a fool of myself by responding badly, so disregard any possible attacks on my part, but all that aside, regardless of your political thoughts, tell me: What good can creating such divisive userboxes possibly do? What would you do if I started targeting the United Kingdom for some random reason? You aren't going to change whatever the current situation of affairs is, and this seems to only have the potential to make other users angry (like half of editors here are from the United States). And what would you do if I called your actions vandalism and reverted them? I have never undertaken any action as an editor with the intent of hurting the encyclopedia, and I never will. That is in itself a personal attack as I perceive it. Lastly, as for the "petty comments verging on personal attacks", I addressed that before I even read your comment here (I was acting out of anger at you calling me a vandal), so please strike that out. Dustin (talk) 00:56, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
All forgiven.
  • "What good can creating such divisive userboxes possibly do?" The purpose of a user box gallery is to provide easy access to userboxes, for those with similar views.
  • "What would you do if I started targeting the United Kingdom for some random reason?" I wouldn't really care. If you had evidence to back it up then I would welcome your edits for reducing the ignorance of the general population. If not, I know they will simply be ignored, and eventually forgotten by all.
  • "this seems to only have the potential to make other users angry" See point 1, and as I have said before, this is quite a common position throughout the world, excluding the United States - I understand that Americans who are ignorant on the matter could be offended, however speaking from experience, when an individuals ignorance is pointed out, offence is usually the first reaction. Additionally there are plenty of other userboxes that could easily offend other groups, such as userbroxes proclaiming and supporting Nazism and Hitler. DocHeuh (talk) 01:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
That last part is not entirely true. No "this user is a Nazi" userboxes are able to survive AfD. Dustin (talk) 01:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
There may be many people in other nations who believe the U.S. is a terrorist state, but that does not make them correct, and even then, while there are plenty of countries thinking that the United States is over-intrusive and/or full of warmongers, I am very doubtful that it is a common view among places such as the UK that the U.S. is a terrorist state, even if they hate this country or are tired of it coming up in the news. If you think otherwise, you must verify it. Dustin (talk) 02:24, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

TD a

This is the JMA's (temporary) designation for it as shown in the dropdown at the JMA website, out of lack of a better label to use.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:44, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: I actually wondered if that was why you had included the "a", so I checked the website but couldn't find an "a" anywhere. I just did it again, and I see an "a", but it is on the map and not in the data section so I had originally overlooked it. This is worth further consideration. Say the system did not intensify any further. Would the "a" still stick when referring to the depression? Dustin (talk) 02:55, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
No; once the system's gone, the letter is up for reuse for future depressions. Hence why I only included it in the current infobox and not the small one.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:56, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
@Jasper Deng: Ah, I see. I guess it's similar to JTWC designations but not permanent? I've never seen depressions in the western Pacific Ocean use these single-letter JMA designations on Wikipedia, so if/when the JTWC designates it, we should switch to use the JTWC designation since that is unchanging (or if it is named, the name should be used, of course).

Re: Multiverse date format

Note the version of Multiverse from December 2012. Formatting had drifted away and became inconsistent over the past few years. Thus the edits were intended to correct all the entropy during that time. Dl2000 (talk) 03:55, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:DFTT

Dustin, you're doing it again![1] Bishonen | talk 19:28, 30 June 2015 (UTC).

@Bishonen: This was a more significant user who I think might be serious about this, hence my response. If you think it's best for me to deny recognition, I will comply, though. All that aside, as always, I appreciate the notice. Dustin (talk) 19:31, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
It's up to you, but I thought their argument was too stupid to dignify with a response. All the best. Bishonen | talk 19:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC).
I agree it was a rather petty argument, but I had a sort of internal desire to respond. I guess I should try to improve my "DO NOT RESPOND" skills, hmm? Dustin (talk) 20:29, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Obergefell v. Hodges

Ah, your user talk page just got out of its semi-protection! Darn vandals. Thanks for the response! And yes, I'm very aware that I could add something on the talk page and ask someone to add it - I was making more of an ideological point where semi-protection blocks out anons who wish to make helpful edits (like adding sections to the article); having to submit something on the talk page and making an edit request is a huge deterrent towards contributing. (And yes, I'm aware that the article is now no longer semi-protected, but someone's added that section already. :) ) 171.64.60.64 (talk) 21:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

That's good news! I assume you are referring to the "Reactions" section when you say someone has already added it? Your original suggestion of the talk page was for an "Impacts" section, but they seem to have a similar purpose. Sorry you were blocked from my talk page, but I have indeed been getting vandalized more often than usual as of late, so it was intended as a defense. Maybe you aren't aware, but you can still attempt to contact a user with a semi-protected talk page by just using the {{Reply to}} template or linking the editor's user page. Sorry that semi-protection of that article kept you from editing; that's why I prefer pending changes protection; it at least allows anonymous users to let their edits be reviewed without having to submit to the talk page. In any case, thank you for the message! :) Dustin (talk) 21:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

That IP

Thanks, Dustin. I've blocked their range. Bishonen | talk 15:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC).

@Bishonen: That isn't enough. The person has somehow managed to change its IP range. Dustin (talk) 15:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Oh, sure. Better not make it sound like that's some great achievement, because it's very easy. Blocking one range is rarely enough. Does the note below mean anything to you? It seems a little more specific. Let me know if you'd like this page semiprotected for a while. Bishonen | talk 16:25, 5 July 2015 (UTC).
@Bishonen: I still cannot find anything via searches. Threats like this are borderline harrassment. This so-called "baphomet board" has a very bad reputation from what I can tell but all that aside, searches of Dustin V. S.+site:8ch.net or even just Dustin+site:8ch.net over the past day bring up zero results, so I question whether or not to take this IP seriously. Dustin (talk) 16:43, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Well, that's why I asked if you want semi. There's not much else to be done about IP-hoppers. Bishonen | talk 19:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC).
@Bishonen: I would appreciate that, but the only problem is that there are some legitimate IPs that aren't vandals who would not be able to edit (example discussion). Should I create a subpage or something for anonymous edits when this page is semi-protected, like User talk:Dustin V. S./Semi? If you think that is a bad idea, I still would prefer that my page be semi-protected, but thanks for taking the time to respond. Dustin (talk) 19:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
@Bishonen: Are you there? Did you ever read this comment? I'd appreciate a response; thanks. Dustin (talk) 23:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, Dustin, I never read it. The ping didn't work; the second one did. I thought at first you might possibly not have done it right (=sign in the same edit as the ping), but that's not the case: you did it perfectly, and it still didn't work. :-( I've heard of that, but it's the first time I've experienced it. OK, I've semi'd your page for a week, let me know if you need more. Yes, it's always a problem to shut out legitimate IPs. I think it's a good idea to create a dedicated page for them, and explain on your ordinary talkpage that it exists and what it's for. Bishonen | talk 07:04, 8 July 2015 (UTC).
Thanks for the response! I may create the dedicated page when I find the time and add a note to my page. Dustin (talk) 03:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Re: Remnant low

Just in case this pops up again in the future...even though they're not necessarily interchangeable, we still mark "dissipation" in the small infoboxes as we only include the period when a system is considered tropical or subtropical. Post-tropical is a weird term in general, but generally signifies the phase between tropical/subtropical and extratropical; it can also be used instead of remnant low if the forecaster desires. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:07, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Whenever I update seasonal timelines e.g. Timeline of the 2015 Pacific hurricane season, I try to be consistent with what the public advisories say rather than what the discussions say, but in the future, I will interpret the "Dissipated" parameter as just being a tropical end date. Thank you for notifying me of this! Dustin (talk) 18:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Re:UTC

We do it all the time as a project (use UTC time for stuff). But for this instance, why don't we just add a note saying all times are in UTC or something like that? YE Pacific Hurricane 04:43, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Yellow Evan: Thank you for responding... I am aware that all times are in UTC when it is not specifically said otherwise, but saying "late" as I said before is open to misinterpretation (and why is the time of day necessary). In any case, I think it would be better to either use the "specific" time i.e. HH:MM UTC or just not include the word late due to the possibility of misinterpretation. A note would be better than leaving it as is, but I still think better solutions may be possible. Between 21:00 UTC July 12 and 03:00 UTC July 13, perhaps? I cannot be absolutely certain what the specific time at which the storm crossed the IDL is (even though I treated it as 2100 UTC in a couple places), so... Dustin (talk) 04:53, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Agreed, but it gets kinda annoying in writing in general to have a zillion at "X UTC" statements and is better to mix it up. FYI, the 21z point IIRC had it at 179.9E, so I'd say it crossed "At around 21:00 UTC July 12" or "By 21:00 UTC July 12". YE Pacific Hurricane 05:28, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Concerning that user warning you placed on my talk page and then removed

Upon its reception, I was wondering how lorem ipsum could have been a copyvio. Thanks, and I hope the rest of the situation has been resolved. Is there any rule against adding extreme amounts of content to the sandbox? I am User:MopSeeker, and forgot that I was not logged in. Should I redirect the IP talk page to that of the account?70.50.116.19 (talk) 21:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I moved the warning to the proper talk page; you again have my apologies. If you don't care that other people know what your IP address is, then it would probably be in your best interest to redirect your IP talk page to the actual account's talk page (unless it is a dynamic IP).

Personnel at JTWC

As a current watchstander at JTWC, it is easy to count the amount of personnel stationed at this command including active duty and civilian Air Force and Navy personnel. Unfortunately, it is not easy to simply cite the units current manning doctrine (as it changes every couple of years and is not in the public domain). However, 50 is much closer to the actual number of personnel working at JTWC than the previous estimate of 20. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.163.128.42 (talk) 06:53, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I notice that the JTWC ATCR usually contains an employee list with the 2013 one suggesting that 36. As a result I wonder if its better to cite that and keep it under annual review rather than use a ball park figure of 50.Jason Rees (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
I took a look at page 5 of the 2013 ATCR by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and it suggests an employment of 37, not 36. Either way, the previous total of 20 seems like an understatement. Dustin (talk) 15:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Bah i missed just 1... Either way @138.163.128.42: would you be ok to use that total?Jason Rees (talk) 18:59, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Jasper Deng reverted the Navy IP, but I re-reverted him because I did not consider his reasoning to be valid. I commented out the IP's source and changed the number of personnel to 37. It's better than 20, at least. Dustin (talk) 01:42, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Re: Invitation to WikiProject Tropical cyclones

Hey there, Dustin. First of all, I'd like to thank you for inviting me to this project. I have been here for a while, but most of my contributions were when I was new, and they are all mostly little, except for when I did create one article on Hurricane Lisa in 2010, though it was archived due to the storm's little notability. Ever since then, I have to admit, I lost interest in writing articles, but figured I'd stick around to edit, since I ALWAYS stumble across minor errors. But anyways, thank you for the invitation, I'd be glad to accept, though I must warn that I am staring college so I proboably won't be around very much. Ryder (talk) 21:59, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

@Ryder Busby: You don't have to be a major article builder or busy in maintenance to be helpful. Education can really take up a lot a a person's time, so I understand if you won't be able to edit very often. I still figured it was worth leaving you that invitation because even your little changes are appreciated! Thank you for responding. Dustin (talk) 22:02, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

FYI it was a standard introudced a few years back after a brief discussion on the project page IFRC, however, i agree that using Present sounds better and would look better for the season effects tables.Jason Rees (talk) 15:26, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Part of the reason I prefer "present" is because it can be applied to much more than just tropical cyclones (many/most current events). It also refers to a specific time whereas "Currently active", while it certainly provides the information for you to know that the latter time is "present", does so indirectly.

Message from Bouldergeist

I'm working at polishing the Judicial Activism page. If I'm doing this right, the entry should be encyclopedic (comprehensive) and informative. And as I like to say wrt my legal briefs, "if I've done it right, not a single word is my own." What the Framers thought is often best expressed in their own words (as they really were quite erudite), and James Madison and Alexander Hamilton are as much experts on constitutional design as any modern scholars are. Once everyone is more-or-less happy with the entry itself, the hard work of cleaning up the endnotes (providing links where available, as documenting phrases from snippets in Google Books can be problematic) and curing disambiguation issues begins.

I've never really thought of quoting sources like Blackstone and Locke as "original research," as Blackstone was more of an authority than an Alan Dershowitz will ever be. Blackstone was cited over 10,000 times in reported colonial cases, and the United States Reports are replete with citations to The Federalist.

As for my personal biases on the topic, I am a Scalian originalist, who maintains that the Constitution is a contract (more specifically, a suzerainty agreement), and must be interpreted as though it was a contract. Scalia is an expert in his own right, and like Holmes and Story, can be cited as one. If I am hard on Scalia, it is to compensate for this known bias.

Work with me, and I'll do my best to make this an A-class entry. As it stood, the old version was next to useless. [x-posted to talk:J/A] Bouldergeist (talk) 12:55, 19 August 2015 (UTC)Bouldergeist

Scalia does have a known bias, but as always, we must try our best to ensure that entries remain neutral. Quotes and other pieces of information with proper citations are not original research, although you still have to be wary of original synthesis. Many/Most WikiProjects don't really use A-class except for WikiProject Tropical cyclones and WikiProject Military history very much, but regardless, A-class articles normally should be nominated for GA-class and pass before being upped to A-class. I do not currently have the time to assess the quality of the Judicial activism article, but I wish you the best. All that aside, thank you for taking the time to notify me.

Currently active... or present?

Is a consensus for this alright? Because the 2015 PHS article has the 'present' whilst all other seasons (I don't know about the Atlantic) still goes with 'currently active'. I just want to see what people decide on this because this year we made a lot of changes on things. However I do understand about it doesn't make sense if it is for example, October 15 - Currently active. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:36, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

@Typhoon2013: I disagree with anyone who supports maintaining the current of standard (or whatever word for it you prefer). I think it unlikely that there is a consensus for this; most likely (but not certainly), someone wrote it that way a long time ago, and everyone just stuck with it. If you think it is significant enough to be worth mentioning, you can bring it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones, or maybe I will do so myself.

Crossflow cylinder head page errors

The image of the reverse flow head is a port placement tuning illustration.

Image missing of Crossflow T-head

The Twin cam and T-head are the only true crossflow cylinder heads where the gases flow in a straight line across the head.

The page doesn't explain the staggered flow (step) across the head of the single cam crossflow head,due to the inline alternating valve placement. Image needed to illustrate a twin cam (8valve) 4cylinder head. Image needed to illustrate a single cam crossflow (inline 8valve) 4cylinder head.

Message from 174.101.112.147

I request that Olive Thomas' page be edited, I tried editing it myself but some engine was blocking it. The edit I was trying to make was simply removing an inappropriate photo, the photo showed a woman (assumingly Thomas) without a shirt or bra. Such a photo is unlawful in some states and goes against two Wikipedia's self proclaimed success factors, openness (for it alienates some users, namely supports of a ban on public indecency, for this is said to be community and a community is public) and neutrality. My wish is that people remember the woman not for this photo, but for the great acting legacy she left behind.

About WrestleMania 32 article changes

Hello. Thanks for taking time to message me. I apologize for not adding an edit summary. What actually happened was a user kept adding an unofficial theme song under "theme song(s)". The first time when I removed it, I wrote an edit summary. But, the user was persistent and kept adding it over and over again. I just didn't bother to write an edit summary the next many times I removed it as the user would predictably add it again and I would have to write another edit summary. Thankfully the user eventually stopped.

My fault. Once again, I apologize.

Request Protection on "Sino-Vietnamese War" page

Hello Dustin, please protect the Sino-Vietnamese War page. There are people keep vandalizing the page.

--206.167.71.30 (talk) 18:19, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Normally, I would direct you to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection as I do not have the privilege of being able to protect pages; however, it appears you may be involved in a content dispute, so protecting the page may not be the best approach. I suggest you bring your concerns to the article's talk page, located at Talk:Sino-Vietnamese War and discuss the qualifications of sources with Spartacus! there. Alternatively, you may take your concerns directly to the aforementioned user via his talk page. Dustin (talk) 02:05, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
IMO IP(s) should not be allowed to edit these topic areas, since they either vandaise pages or push certain national pov. In this case, the IP is pushing a certain national (pro-china) pov.
(S)/He is only producing OR and pov that border conflict ended with china tactical and startegic victory while the given sources doesn't say that, or anything about who won the border conflict. while a did added a rs [3] clearly saying soviets won the border conflict, IP removed the source on spurious ground. IP had made more then 3 reverts on the page and is also eItalic textdit warring on other pages [4]
You can see here [5], they not only hounded me and undone my edit, but also launched personal attacks, digging heels in on nationalists grounds, this is blocakable in its own. Spartacus! (talk) 03:50, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
@Spartacus!: The three-revert rule has not been broken, but there is clearly some back-and-forth editing from day to day. On the point of whether anonymous users should be allowed to edit the page, if you believe that there is an excessive amount of disruption coming from new or unregistered editors, you may request that the page be either temporarily or permanently semi-protected at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. That said, it would be preferable for you to at least attempt to work out a solution with the anonymous editor on the article's talk page. I do not have access to the sources the IP editor is linking, so I cannot tell whether the details are mentioned in the works or not. It would be best for you to make some sort of effort to work with the IP; if the IP editor is uncooperative, then other options may be warranted. Dustin (talk) 05:33, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


Hello Dustin V. I am 206.167.71.30

Sorry that I am using two different internet locations at work and at home. I do not feel the need to register an account because I rarely edit on Wikipedia.

This guy Spartacus posted a single source titled: "The Global Rise of Asian Transformation: Trends and Developments in Economic". I have carefully read his source and it had a merely one page blurry picture to back his claims.

https://books.google.co.in/books?id=RrKYBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA37&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Sino%20Vietnameses%20war%20victorious%20Vietnam%20defeated%20china&f=false

Now the source I provided:

1. http://digitalcommons.law.umaryland.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1057&context=mscas
2. https://www.cna.org/CNA_files/PDF/D0022974.A2.pdf

Both sources are article sources which fully qualify as a Wikipedia reliable source and are 100% dedicated to each wars. They were both over 200 pages long and describe each war in close details and listed the results.

If you could, please file a protection for each article and stop Spartacus from further disrupt editing.

Thank you,

The media-attracting tropical wave

I recently whipped out an article in my sandbox on the wave that is attracting attention from meteorologists because of the threat it may pose down the road next week. However I'm skeptical on whether or not I want to move it into the mainspace just yet, as this may make it an anomaly article since there hasn't been any articles on such a topic like this. I want to because of the way the models are hinting at the possibility of a major hurricane, and I was going to ask if you can help me make a decision on whether I should move it or not. Plus the article is likely going to be the basis for Tropical Storm Matthew (2016) and possibly renamed Hurricane Matthew (2016) (if it does become one, which it likely will). --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 21:51, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Typically, WikiProject Tropical cyclones does not create mainspace articles on tropical invests / tropical waves. To do so would be speculative; even when there is a lot of speculation and news about a future storm, busts / forecasting errors occur. In the end, the ultimate outcome still is not set in stone, and as such, until the system further develops and/or produces impacts, I'd keep the draft in your userspace or, if you so choose, in draftspace. Dustin (talk) 22:22, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
Yeah I guess maybe in draftspace could fare better as once and if the wave becomes a tropical cyclone, it can be the basis for the article on Matthew, minus the model possibilities. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:02, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

2016–17 winter

It's time! NOAA released their outlook temperature and precipitation wise, so you can get started on the article --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Oops, didn't know you had a draft for this already lol. My bad! --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:53, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
@MarioProtIV: I actually did notice that the outlook was released; I just wasn't yet ready to start writing. Based on previous years, I assumed the outlook was going to be released soon, so I created the aforementioned draft. I may still wait to move it to mainspace for about a month barring any significant winter events before then. Dustin (talk) 19:34, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
I uploaded the graphics. It looks like NOAA has changed the design a bit. Anyway, I'll get to work on the summary soon. On a bit of a side note, it irritates me a bit that the Outlook graphics this year are much lower resolution than last year's. Just compare 2015–16's (2,000 × 1,561 resolution) with the recently-released 2016–17's (only 800 × 624 resolution). I get that that extra resolution probably wasn't necessary, but I still don't see the need for the change. Too bad, I guess. Dustin (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

BCE vs BC

Hi Dustin,

To make Timeline data searchable it is necessary to restrict usage to that which is historically accurate. "BCE" is not universally accepted and will tend to alienate prospective research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SunPro (talk • contribs) 02:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@SunPro: I do not understand how using BCE could possibly "alienate prospective research" as you put it. I also don't think there would be a significant difference in the ability for a person to search for timeline data. My thoughts aside, it would still be best for you to bring up the changes you desire on the talk page of the article.
All the above aside, since you are (or at least appear to be) a new editor, if you have any problems or need help with anything, feel free to just create a new section at this talk page (there is a link at the top) to ask me any questions. You can also ask questions at the help desk and at the Teahouse. Wikipedia:Introduction is also worth a look. Dustin (talk) 03:14, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Numerous Wikipedia articles seem less than constructive and even hostile toward America, for instance the "American Imperialism" Article. Citing known anarchist Noam Chomsky as some sort of an indisputable source of facts.

@Dustin V.S: One last "discussion about TD 08L, do you think that if there could be more sources with info about the storm there could possibly be a new TD 08L article somewhere in Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deghop (talk • contribs) 23:59, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Deghop:The depression was unimpressive meteorologically and did not have significant impacts. This depression is not notable enough to warrant a Meteorological history-only article, so there really isn't much that you can do. Also, when you tried to ping me, you left out a space and a period (plus, you don't need to ping me on my own talk page for me to receive a notification, only elsewhere). Dustin (talk) 02:52, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

@deghop There could be more sources of info by the NHC and NWS. I will go look for some. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deghop (talk • contribs) 14:18, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I disagree with your edit of 2009-17 OK quake swarms

Yes, I see the ">" before it, but I also notice how you left 2,079 as is instead of rounding it up. L3X1 (talk) 22:08, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

@L3X1: That number will only be updated whenever a new source comes out listing the Oklahoma Geological Survey's earthquake totals. I know that the earthquake count is higher, but I decided to just include the specific number in this instance to follow what is in the source. I could possibly update those numbers using data here, but it takes longer. As for the USGS count, that is increasing continuously, and as such, there is always a high probability that if you checked the USGS's earthquake map again, there would be a higher number of earthquakes listed than what the Wikipedia article reads. I even created a special link using wikicode so as to make the USGS map reference's URLs automatically update themselves whenever the Wikipedia page is purged (see the one titled "USGS Map of 3.0+ Magnitude Earthquakes (Oklahoma: 2009-01-01–present)", for instance).

Southeastern US ice storm draft

Hey, since there is a current ice storm occurring in the South which is expected to impact eastern areas and the Northeast with heavy snow, I think it is notable for an article of itself. I've made a draft for it and I think it could use some help from you as you seem to have really done a lot to your 2011-12 winter draft and details like that could make the current storm more notable. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:19, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me; I was impacted by this storm myself. Whenever I am able, I'll try to help in at least some way. In the near-term, since the season article is visible, it may be worth creating a section at 2016–17 North American winter with a summary of current information. Dustin (talk) 02:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
It wasn't ice for everyone. I'm having trouble finding a lot of information. If you'll notice, I saw the need for a section and added the specific information I could find. I added more today and found some of what I put in yesterday outdated. The first paragraph is unsourced but you surely got the information from somewhere. The information added in the second paragraph WAS in the source and I overlooked it because there was only a prediction, though I admit it did look sort of familiar.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:36, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
@Vchimpanzee: Yes, it was more than just ice; while I did not mention it above, the part of the storm I was impacted by brought snow. The unsourced bit of information was added by MarioProtIV, so perhaps you are willing to ask him what his source was? I have been a bit busy on a couple different matters as of late, else I might have spent a bit of time improving 2016–17 North American winter from its current sorry state; it's a notable topic, but problems arise when few people are willing to edit (WP:NTROP is not at all organized). Anyway, I will try to at least somewhat address these issues in the near-future, I think. Dustin (talk) 20:13, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
I didn't look that carefully at the history. So I see now where that unsourced information was added. I won't get to a library until Wednesday, but I am limited on what I can do due to slow Internet when I haven't gone to a site before not to mention adding a limit on the number of articles I can see for free. The Myrtle Beach and Raleigh sites I can copy and paste from even if there is a box telling me to subscribe, and I can still ready even with the dark gray background, so they're not really "blocking" me.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
I heard a radio newscast saying that the ice storm going on now is the worst in a decade. I was glad to see you created a header.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
For my 'specific' area where I live, the storm has performed below expectations. This doesn't apply everywhere, though, so I will try to add some information into a section at the winter article in the near-future. If necessary, an article can be created later, although I think I will wait a bit longer for more sources to come out. Dustin (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@Dustin: Thank you for not deleting the section. You must have noticed the subtropical storm as well. Oh how do you upload tracks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deghop (talk • contribs) 00:38, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
@Deghop: My username displays as "Dustin", but it is actually "Dustin V. S." Keep that in mind the next time you try to respond to me. Anyway, the only reason I didn't completely remove the section is that I reverted the edits made by you while editing under your account "Deghop", excluding the IP edit.

Snowstorm article

Would like it if you helped expand February 2017 United States blizzard, as it is shaping up to be a major snowstorm for the Northeast. I'm also trying to get other major editors to help as well. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

@MarioProtIV: I may contribute a bit when I find the chance. That being said, it might be more appropriate to title it "winter storm" instead of "blizzard" since such conditions do not appear to be expected to be widespread (warnings are limited to eastern Massachusetts and part of Long Island). Master of Time (talk) 02:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Tornado articles

If it interests you, my current project is User:Master of Time/Tornado outbreak of June 13, 1998 (I think I will try to add some secondary sources / fill in the table a bit at some point). I'm also thinking of writing about the October 1998 tornado outbreak in Oklahoma. Master of Time (talk) 05:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Hmm, well, if you ever do pre-1991 tornado outbreaks, I have Grazulis' Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991, should you want information from that. I would love you forever if you could work with me on an article over the tornado outbreak of September 24–26, 1973. With at least seven F2+ tornadoes (including an F4 and 3 F3s) it was pretty significant for a late summer/early fall outbreak in the plains, and I have several hardcopies of The Salina Journal from that outbreak and its aftermath (as well as access to digitized copies). What I lack is sources for the "meteorological synopsis" and aspects of the outbreak outside of Kansas (the F2+ tornadoes excepted). If you're interested I can create a stub and we go from there, and I'd love to share a DYK/GA credit with you if we can get it to that point. Also pinging Cyclonebiskit, since he seems to be a guru at this sort of stuff, too. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 15:55, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
@Ks0stm: Sounds interesting. I haven't heard of that outbreak before. What states did it affect? I'm having trouble finding relevant information right off the bat. I have free access to The Oklahoman's newspaper archive via my school if there is the chance that would be helpful. I don't know why the SPC's archives apparently only go back to 1995, but that's understandably a problem. Lack of easily-available sources always makes higher than Start / C class more burdensome, although I'm sure this can be managed somehow. On another note, by chance, apart from the October 1998 outbreak, a second event I had been looking into occurred earlier in the same year as the outbreak you mentioned in Union City, Oklahoma (not sure there is as much to write about it, but still noteworthy). Master of Time (talk) 02:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Best as I can tell the September 1973 outbreak affected mostly Kansas tornado wise, with tornadoes also reported in NE Oklahoma, SW Missouri, NE Colorado, SE Nebraska, IA, and SE Minnesota. Just ripping off the NCDC database there were 0 F4 tornadoes, 18 F3 tornadoes, 11 F2 tornadoes, and 10 F0-1 tornadoes in those areas; however, this is most likely flawed by under-recording of minor tornadoes and duplicate entries of long-track F2+ tornadoes. Grazulis lists 10 F2+ tornadoes or tornado families, including 1 F4, and I would consider him a more reliable source in this instance.
For the Union City one, Grazulis has a paragraph on the tornado, which he rated as F4, and has several entries in the days after it (26 F2+ tornadoes/tornado families, including 3 F4s, May 26-28 from the plains into the deep south), although whether they are part of one outbreak or two separate systems I couldn't say for certain, though the NCDC database seems to suggest at least two separate systems forming a tornado outbreak sequence from ~May 19-22 to May 29. Again, my weakness would be in finding sources for the meteorological synopsis section, as I'm pretty confident that like with the September one it shouldn't be too hard to find damage and aftermath sources with the access to newspaper archives I have. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 21:06, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
@Ks0stm: In the short-term, perhaps information could be added to Tornadoes of 1973 until the MS sections can be figured out? Like, a start of sorts? Before I created the page for the tornado outbreak on June 13, 1998, I started out by writing a bit in the Tornadoes of 1998 article with information divided by state. Not sure if that's the best strategy / way of writing outbreak articles, but I thought I'd mention it. Master of Time (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I need to get some things sorted out with my personal wiki so that I can upload sources to it, but remind me about this in a couple of days and I should have more to share. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 20:48, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Tried To Update The WAUF-LP Auburn Page

To the current name and programming their catering to. For some reason, when I type in WAUF, minus the LP, the old logo and info comes up. This station is no longer being heard on 96.3 FM in Auburn. When I refresh the page, the current changes appear. This radio station is now a part of the Revocation Radio from Argo Alabama family but not owned by them. Core Communications Inc. still runs the outfit. Revocation Radio is the program being heard. I'm not trying to be a spammer. Love the site and want to give your readers the latest info, on some of the stations I tend to keep up with. I saw that WAUF had made some changes from another site, I visit and wanted to share the info with the readers. Concerning WAHR Huntsville, that was the link to their live audio stream. If you saw it as spam, please accept my apology. Just wanted to share that link, with the readers, so they could listen to the station.

If you're able to do it, I give you permission to fix a page for WPJB-LP, 93.3 FM, Selma, Alabama, Jesus Radio. I own this radio station and now working on getting it established. My format is Christian Variety Hits. Excited to be in the radio business and want to have success with my first entry. I have no web site or stream yet. Will work on those two things, after I get established and going real good.

A small correction

Regarding your comment regarding removing warnings from talk pages here, the IP is allowed to remove the warnings. The only they can't remove is ISP headers and current block / active sanction notices. This is explained at WP:BLANKING.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:36, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

If that is the case, then it should be changed. I had assumed the regular talk page blanking rights would not be afforded to users who have persistently vandalized in the extremely recent past, in this case mere minutes earlier. As I see it, such users should not be permitted to remove warnings only a couple minutes after vandalizing without some sort of cool down period, as it serves to give them extra chances to vandalize since users sometimes don't check the page history before issuing warnings. That's not to say I don't think they should ever be allowed to remove warnings, just not while they are actively vandalizing. I have seen vandals with final warnings just blank them off their talk pages, vandalize again, then receive a level 1 warning again instead of an AIV.
Also, if it was not clear, when I posted this, I was referring to the talk page blanking that occurred days earlier, not the recent blanking / "damn you" comment by the IP. Master of Time (talk) 22:58, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
The currently reality is that there is absolutely no policy preventing users from blanking their talk page of warnings and as such restoring the edits is not a WP:3RR exemption. If you feel strongly enough you can start an RfC to relax the policy, but whenever it has come up before there hasn't been any consensus to do so. Note I'm not criticizing you in away, I'm just making sure you're aware so that you don't mistakenly get caught up in an edit war to restore such material. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:09, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Of course. I was actually going to make an addition to the reply I posted at 22:58 UTC affirming that I will avoid issuing warnings simply for blanking warnings barring further discussion (and also mentioning that this is worth discussing). Master of Time (talk) 23:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

to quote you "There is not, however, any such thing as "alt-left;" that is merely a term invented by Trump" well they exist and they date back to 2015 they existed before trump and hannity talked crap https://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/proposal-for-an-alternative-left/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternativeLeft/ https://www.facebook.com/alternativeleft/ https://altleftjournal.wordpress.com/ http://socialdemocracy21stcentury.blogspot.co.il/2016/09/a-proposal-for-alt-left-political.html https://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/liberal-race-realism-precursor-to-the-alt-left/ http://altleft.com/2015/11/14/a-clockwork-greenshirt-introducing-the-alt-left/ https://web.archive.org/web/20151119073815/http://altleft.com 2001:8003:117E:6D00:59BA:76FB:8BC8:BECD (talk) 00:34, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

None of those are reliable or mainstream sources. Prior to Trump's statement, a few pieces were published by some anti-Bernie Sanders writers, but that's about it. Trump's usage, which is now the dominant one by far, was made up by he himself as a counter to "alt-right." Master of Time (talk) 04:17, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
I would like to say that yes, even here in America, there is an "alt-left." Just as you have alt-right terrorists, you also have the same bunch of radicalists on the left end of the spectrum as well. The term "alt-right" is much more commonly known because it's used everywhere, whereas the "alt-left" groups in America fell out of the spotlight that Neo-Nazi groups dominated. Now that we have Trump and more political polarization in America, I think that this term is starting to gain more traction, especially as awareness of extreme leftist groups emerge. I'm pretty sure that they were better known by other titles several years ago (such as "Commies," "Reds," etc.). I don't know about when/where the term "alt-left" was coined, but I'm pretty sure that Trump did not come up with it. None of its going to go away, though, especially not while this country is going through so much political turmoil. Just some things to think about. LightandDark2000 (talk) 09:17, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
I am not saying that certain groups that are targeted by the term "alt-left" do not exist, but the only reason that the term alt-left even has an article (or used to, anyway) is because Trump used the term to try to counterbalance the term "alt-right" which, fairly or not, has been associated with him and the website Breitbart (and Steve Bannon). People in the "alt-right" use the term themselves and with deliberation, but the people being called "alt-left" are really just part of a nebulous left-of-center group and reject the term. On terrorism, while people on the left end of the spectrum certainly can and have commit terrorist acts, left-wing terrorism has been limited since the Weather Underground operated in the 70s and especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The group you called "alt-left" seems to really be the just the far-left. I do agree, though, that this stuff won't be going away for awhile. Master of Time (talk) 20:11, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
I was unaware of the Weather Underground group you mentioned (not sure if that was their actual name). Anyway, with things becoming so polarized in US politics today, it was only a matter of time before people started bringing back/tossing out these terms. LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
@LightandDark2000: There is an article at the page Weather Underground. If that got you thinking about wunderground.com, I assume that company (or whatever you call it) was, for whatever reason, named for the aforementioned organization. Master of Time (talk) 05:17, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Your reversions at Hurricane Harvey (2017)

Can you explain to me how being less accurate, as your reversions have done, is desirable? --Hammersoft (talk) 20:44, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

They are not less accurate. The templates incorrectly match up with the National Hurricane Center's figures, so I removed them. Take a look at the advisories. Master of Time (talk) 20:45, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
  • They are less accurate. 105 knots is not 120 mph. It is 120.8 mph, rounded equaling 121. That's what the {{convert}} template is for, and greatly assists in avoiding conversion mistakes as has been done here. When I first got to the article, it claimed the maximum sustained winds were 95 knots, or 120 mph...grossly inaccurate. Using {{convert}} avoids this. It's why we have it. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:49, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
The conversion of 95 kt to 120 mph was probably just incorrectly entered. It probably should have said 95 kt converts to 110 mph. Those are the NHC's given conversions for 15:00 UTC advisory time. Master of Time (talk) 21:17, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Irma / pending queue

Hello! I hope you don't mind me asking you for help, but it looks like you're also really active on Hurricane Irma and have a lot of Wikipedia experience, so I figured I'd try. (My mega-active days were a decade ago and everything has changed...)

I've been doing a lot of editing on the Irma article, but it looks like my edits are now going through to a pending queue as opposed to being autoaccepted. I use adaptive tech and can't tell if that's a blanket thing for all editors or if I individually screwed something up; I can't identify a notice on the entry (if there is one). Should I proceed submitting contributions and just assume they'll make it through eventually? Beginning (talk) 19:55, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

@Beginning: You seem to be classified as a pending changes reviewer, so I would think you could just click "accept revision" at the top of the editing page (if you are using a PC) and have the edit go live. There are also buttons you can click that will take you to the review page if you open the page's history. I think the only reason your revision was not auto-accepted is because an IP made an edit shortly before yours. My edit didn't initially go through until I actually clicked on "Accept revision."

A little help needed.

Hi User:Master_of_Time, firstly I give you some kudos and in your example I have created (copied and pasted mostly) a template that needs a review I was hoping from you as it is your original work, and maybe some of your editing if you can fix porting the page name into the active template for me, not sure I have that right and then someone to approve Draft:NaturalEventHurricane which should be saved as [[Template:NaturalEventHurricane]] and implemented on Hurricane Irma and then similar templates to follow such as [[Template:NaturalEventEarthquake]] etc121.99.108.78 (talk) 10:49, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

I didn't come up with the original wording for that (although I like the wording), and I'm not sure who did. I was, however, working on finding a way of combining the wording there with a version of {{Current weather event}}. I got a bit sidetracked, however. I will return to that work sometime soon, hopefully. Master of Time (talk) 03:29, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi again User:Master_of_Time, I have modified my version of the template so it can be pasted without any modification into any similar event, i.e. the name parses rather than having to be specified, I hope it can be of some use, after your reply I had a quick look at {{Current weather event}} and can see it is somewhat duplicated but not quite, and the functionality requires bespoke modification per event, a mixture of the two may be in order as you allude to above. Thanks again.121.99.108.78 (talk) 05:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Rexism

Didn`t Fascism start as a split from Socialism? Mussolini used to be a Socialist.

This is a quote from an interview with Leon Degrelle: "I was arrested in 1940 by French troops, beaten, and moved around from damp jail cells where I was tortured until finally freed by German troops. They knew who I was since I was a leader of the Rexist Party, which was a Socialist anti-Communist political party. Seeing that I would not receive any help, let alone justice from the authorities in Belgium I knew that that government was illegitimate, and I decided that the corruption must be challenged." 83.128.173.145 (talk) 12:34, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Some fascist ideologies drew influence from socialists, but by the time they morphed into the far-right "fascism" of the World War II era (and the years preceding the war), they were dramatically different. For instance, the Nazis' "National Socialist" ideology 'initially' drew some influence from socialists, but they murdered socialists and communists and were very hostile to the left and were in many ways their antithesis.

Cold New Year's Eve

It took a little research to see that you played a role in at least naming one of these big weather events. The current cold weather event seems to be one of these. How did we go about creating articles for these? I don't feel confident enough to do it myself, but once again, as it has been on several occasions in recent years, the term "Polar vortex" was used on the news.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:12, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: Someone recently created an article (which I promptly renamed). It is currently located at 2017–18 North American cold wave. May be worth checking out. Master of Time (talk) 01:41, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I would gladly appreciate it if you could help with constructing the article for the developing nor'easter, since you seem to make as much good edits on these winter articles as I do :P. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 21:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@MarioProtIV: Thank you very much for notifying me (I hope you will continue to do so in the future). I have been a bit preoccupied as of late, but I may be able to offer minor contributions as / after the event winds down / exits New England. Master of Time (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

"Just because this shows NWS warnings does not make it public domain. This looks like a graphic from The Weather Channel."

In that case, would you please help me delete the image? I don't want it to be up there with an incorrect copyright, and I don't think that it'll be used in any Wikipedia pages now anyway, but I can't figure out how to delete it even though I uploaded it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Nth User (talk • contribs) 06:45, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

The WikiJaguar Award for Excellence
For your response to the question about TCBs (Tropical Cyclone Barnstars) that I left on Yellow Evan talk page, I award you the WikiJaguar Award for Excellence for your talk page stalking. You have avoided six months of confusion and one month where the community gradually realizes that there were actually two different TBC templates all along—with the consequence of hastening the eventual debate over which template to use.
