[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_zIdSAgGP8. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Holocene calendar
[edit]You're right and I'm glad you discovered my error. But there seems to be a number of errors in other calendars displaying the year zero.--Hyphantes (talk) 09:36, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
The 1st year is year 0
[edit]Of course, there is no "0th year" (CE), since any 0th can not exist at all. Everything starts with the first, so there is the 1st year (ordinal), which is the year 0 (cardinal).
This is, because
the third millennium includes four-digit years with the first number is two: 3rd⇔2
the 21st century includes the years with the first two digits are 20: 21st⇔20
the 202nd decade (2010s) includes the years with the first three digits are 201: 202nd⇔201
...
the third decade (20s) includes the years with the first digits are 2: 3rd⇔2
the second decade (10s) includes the years with the first digits are 1: 2nd⇔1
the first decade⇔0s
...
the third year is the year 2
the second year is the year 1
the first year is the year 0
In addition, the first six months CE is marked as a decimal 0.5, that is zero whole (year) five tenths. (If the first year would be the year 1, the first six months should be marked strange incorrectly "1.5".)

- The current year is 2016. 2015 years ago was the year 1, and the year before that was either 1 BCE or 0 (year). Either way, you don't see people referring to the year 2015 (2016th year), it's just the year number. Similarly, North Korea have decided that 1912 should be Juche 1 and not Juche 0, so they use the ordinal number and not the cardinal number as the year number.

Disambiguation link notification for August 29
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Adoption of the Gregorian calendar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Orthodox churches. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Patience games
[edit]Hi Arcorann, the original classification of patience games at Template:Patience is taken from David Parlett's The Penguin Book of Patience, as in fact is the classification system used in the template. So I'm wondering whether you've come across another source that places La Belle Lucie and Picture Gallery in a different category. By Parlett's definition, La Belle Lucie is not an open packer as not all the cards are visible at the start. Equally Picture Gallery starts with all cards visible, so it must be an open patience. Bermicourt (talk) 17:39, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- The pictures given on the respective pages (File:La_Belle_Lucie_(solitaire)_Layout.jpg and File:Picture_Gallery_(solitaire)_Layout.jpg) don't match your descriptions of them. To be fair, Picture Gallery is missing some information in the text, but based on the pictures and the articles the categorisation seems obvious, unless we're talking about different games entirely.

[edit]Thanks for the idea!
I added a page to TetrisWiki.
I don't have the right to upload a screenshot there, but it dosn't matter.
