Happy First Edit Day, Daniel, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! :) |
Regarding Tz1993 (talk · contribs), I appreciate you taking the time to investigate the user's request to be unblocked, as I was on hiatus at the time of the request. There wasn't much time to comment on the block log as to why the username was blocked due to a user creation bot that was creating hundreds of bogus accounts within seconds of each other. At the time, either the username format or the IP used, was the same or similar to the bot, hence the vandal bot block. It's unfortunate that the user was blocked due to the similarity of the accounts. I had to block so many accounts that day that I was also accidentally blocked, by another admin because of the mass confusion, that assumed my account was hijacked as well. It was a bad day for all involved. I just wanted to leave a note as to the reasoning behind the block, since I was unable to be reached, I understand your removal of the block; as shown in this revision. Thanks again. «»Who?¿? 06:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In case you don't spot it from your watchlist, Central Coast Mariners FC has been nominated at WP:TFAR but I think the article needs considerable work to bring it back up to FA standards. I've left some issues on the article's talk page that need to be addressed. Thanks, BencherliteTalk 11:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:25, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We get many confused posts like that at Wikipedia:Help desk. {{HD/GKG}} was made for the purpose. The posters rarely mention that it's actually about something they saw at Google and not at Wikipedia. Some of the posts are about wrong spouses and other errors in Google's data fields after the Wikipedia excerpt. I'm not on OTRS but I imagine there would also be many posts there so I hope the OTRS volunteers are aware of the issue. When help desk posts look likely to be about this, I make a Google search to see whether Google's search page contains the alleged Wikipedia error.

- It was only 12 minutes from my above post to the next very likely example: Wikipedia:Help desk#Kulvinder Ghir. The Google search Kulvinder Ghir says "Partner: Blandine Martin". PrimeHunter (talk) 00:08, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's amazing how much trouble the Google and Facebook mirroring causes everyone. Absolute minefield for people not being able to understand that we don't control these websites. Oh well, thank goodness we've got templates to help us with some quick links! Daniel (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you've worked on the Symbol Technologies page in the past, so wanted to alert you to a discussion I'm starting on the talk page. Thanks! GRUcrule (talk) 16:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Aside from the "discussion" which is being initiated for unknown reasons, why did you revert contributing edits by an IP address that were recently referenced. I understand it was tagged (by an unknown again) but other than that most of the inclusions were fully referenced. One reference needed an updated link but much of it seemed legally referenced...
