Hi. I saw your changes in the list today, and I do recall your participation in the talkpage discussion (worth re-reading). I was wondering a few things:
Are you were planning on putting the information that was removed into one of the more appropriate locations? (eg Bain-marie)
Does the "Butcher block" entry in that list need to be moved elsewhere, or should it be replaced? (possibly you were planning on completing the merger suggested on that article?)
Do you have any thoughts about the new-navbox that was suggested in the old discussion? (Primarily the list of links in Kitchenware#See also) I'm thinking an ArticleSeries {{sidebar}} might be good for this, to prevent us from having to disambiguate "how x differs from y, which you may be looking for" in the lead, quite so often.
I'll explain what I think about each item that I removed:
Bain-marie could easily be added to cookware and bakeware (it's currently listed there as a double-boiler with no description), but I was reluctant to add one because it's unsourced and I'm not sure where to put it.
I can't figure out where to put butcher block, but am convinced that it does not belong in this list. The information is located at butcher block, so we haven't lost anything.
There was extremely little information at cauldron and casserole dish (which would belong at cookware and tableware respectively).
Frying pan is adequately described and illustrated at cookware.
Tawa is currently considered interchangeable with griddle in cookware and bakeware. I have added a wikilink to the specific article, and will leave any further judgement call to editors at that article.
Wonderpot is adequately described in cookware and bakeware.
My opinion on a sidebar would depend on its length. They tend to cause problems on articles which have tables (either by narrowing the table and creating a lot of whitespace down the side, or by delaying the start of the table and creating a lot of whitespace at the top). —WFC— FL wishlist14:54, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that. You explained that very well and it does make sense. I've thought that about Doyley and Bond and wondered how to display that. I'll try and make this season to a similar same standard as the one you mentioned... FitzyJ (talk) 20:06, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought that inserting a new L2 would have been better than hatting our comments out (but I won't revert the ediitor's hat), because some of the comments were relevant to the general ills of the process, so I'll respond here: I'm not quite sure I understand your comment. On the the linked RfA there was at least one classic example of every kind of oppose !vote that has brought the process into disrepute and some that would have brought about an incivility block if made elsewhere. In fact it was one of the most contentious (fairly) recent examples of an RfA that finally passed with a solid consensus, while of course some of the opposition may well have been perfectly justified but politely expressed. Introduce some clear control over the process, take the lies, trolling, PA, and disingenuous !voting out of it, and if needs be provide some minimum qualifications for voters (as they do on some other major Wikipedias), and we'll have a relatively clean process, and hence more candidates. This is the message we need to get across to the community. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:30, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey WaitingForConnection. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

I didn't know that the next spacewalk was coming up. Later today, I'll move some things around to optimize the dates as you suggest. It does leave us scrambling a little bit at the last minute, but we'll see if the resulting number of hits is worth the effort. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:09, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Billy Law until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. WWGB (talk) 12:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
List of anthems of non-sovereign countries, regions and territories
Hi, as a creator of List of anthems of non-sovereign countries, regions and territories i am asking you where should i put anthem of moscow? Its not just a city but federal subject of russian federation. Its very unclear and usa have even own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThecentreCZ (talk • contribs) 15:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do some digging, because regardless of the precise start of the "uprising" more context is always a good thing. But I'm dubious as to how any date prior to the 30th can reliably be considered to be the "start" of the uprising. At what point does opposition to a contentious proposal become a protest? At what point does that protest become an uprising? And once it is an uprising, how do you determine its ultimate start date? I'd strongly prefer that we simply stick to "October" at this stage, and become more precise if or when reliable sources start to come to a consensus of sorts on an exact date. —WFC— FL wishlist02:33, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, WFC. I would ask you to tweak your close of the MOS:ICON RfC to include the words "sporting nationality," not "nationality" by itself -- which is a related, but different kettle of fish. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:13, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A antagonist is a character, group of characters, institution, or concept that stands in, or represents, opposition against which the protagonist(s) must contend.

Today's articles for improvement – discussion about changing project processes
Hello WaitingForConnection:
A discussion is occurring at Change project processes regarding potential changes to the Today's articles for improvement Wikiproject. Your input is welcomed at the discussion.
A discussion is occurring at the TAFI talk page regarding potential changes to the project's List of articles page. Your input is welcome at the discussion.
A discussion is occurring at the TAFI talk page regarding the removal of entries from the project's List of articles page. Your input is welcome at the discussion.
You are invited to participate in this discussion at the TAFI talk page regarding improving the automation of project processes and management of the project. Your input is appreciated.
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)
Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowserCheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
