MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC) You made me chuckleHi Paul. I was just looking at which pages link to Women's Equality Party, and I discovered your edit summaries at 2015 in British television. I love the UKIP one especially. There's not enough humour on here, if you ask me. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working. This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015. If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning. Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you. Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Re: Johnny MercerWas just giving the article a read. It's just about identical with what's at Project Gutenberg and the World Heritage Encyclopedia. At this point, I don't know who borrowed from who. World Heritage Encyclopedia has ref numbers exactly where we do. Before we try giving this a go, I'm going to ask Moonriddengirl's advice to see if she can unravel what appears to be a tangle. Also think I need to get a copy of the Gene Lees book Portrait of Johnny. Re: Joan Robinson Hill, am wondering if trying another PR for them both would help. We were advised to separate them and did so, but it seems like we were both left hanging after we did that. Maybe some new eyes would be able to tell us if we should combine them again or what. I agree with you that it has GA potential-know both of us did everything right when putting this together. We hope (talk) 18:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

QuestionI was thinking of nominating the article Clark Olofsson for DYK. However the article was redirected in 2013, when it was a badly made article. I created it without prior knowledge of the previous article. Do you think that will put an end to a DYK or can I nominate it still as it is a completely new article from a redirect? Thanks :)--BabbaQ (talk) 09:51, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello PaulI see you have been engaged with regard to use of Twitter. I too am staunchly against its use as a reference on Wikipedia; however, in this case the Tweet provided is by a Herald-at-Arms of the College of Arms, and should the matter wish to be pursued I am sure that the heraldic authorities will side with York Herald. Why is such a stupid dispute even taking place? M Mabelina (talk) 23:40, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Re: Johnny Mercer-part 2Paul, I don't know if you're signed up for Questia or not but if not, I think it would be of help in this. Questia has both volumes of the Gene Lees books Singers and the Song. There's a very interesting section about Johnny Mercer in them and also more information re: Paul Weston which would be helpful for his article too. The Mercer segment talks about "roses in the morning"-something Mercer did to apologize after he'd drank too much and was just impossible to deal with. It places Jo as telling him, "John, please. I don't want any of your roses in the morning." at a Capitol Records Christmas party. He had been drinking too much and was starting to give Jo a hard time; after she told him this, Mercer stopped arguing with her. We hope (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2015 (UTC) HiHello Paul.

A lady is waiting for youFile:Jo Stafford Voice of America Colliers 1951.JPG ;-) We hope (talk) 22:37, 15 August 2015 (UTC) Back after a hiatusWell I'm back following a bit of an unscheduled break, the reasons for which you can read about below. If you left me a message here or anywhere else during my absence then please bear with me. I will reply in the next couple of days, but as it's quite late now here in the UK I'm not planning to do a lot tonight other than check back in and make a few edits. Now for that explanation. For some reason my internet connection is incredibly slow. Pages have sometimes been taking several minutes to load, so posting anything here turned into a complete pain in the proverbial. Also it took me three hours to download the latest version of LibreOffice one night last weekend, so I've no idea what's going on. On top of that I kept losing my internet connection, something I suspect might have a lot to do with some recent roadworks that have been happening near me. Things have marginally improved this weekend, with the problems only occurring whenever I start up my browser, and they speed up to an acceptable rate after a few minutes. Now all I have to do is catch up with everything that's not been updated in the last couple of weeks, mostly 2015 in British television, 2015 in Irish television and 2015 in British radio, which I guess means reading a lot of MediaGuardian stuff. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Help needed replacing a source link
Hi, I was wondering if somebody could replace a source for me on the description page of File:2014_Scottish_Labour_Leadership_Election_Westminster_Nominations.svg as I have difficulty accessing files of this type because of the software I use. This source has become a deadlink, but I've found this one which contains the same information. Your help would be much appreciated as the file is currently being used in an article that is an FAC candidate. Thanks in advance, This is Paul (talk) 18:40, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Cheryl and Kimberley@Fletcherbrian:, my apologies for forgetting to reply to this.

Switched a ref in Jo's articleHi Paul, What with the Sinatra project, I ran into this Sessions with Sinatra: Frank Sinatra and the Art of Recording The author interviewed Paul and he spoke about Underneath the Overpass ,what rubbish it was, and about how Miller was overriding his decisions in California. The link will also be good for Paul's article. :-) We'll be using that in the Sinatra article too because it was also Miller who thought that Mama Will Bark was sure to be a hit. :-D We hope (talk) 21:41, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
