There's about a 30% chance I forget to sign any given comment. Been awhile since I've been active on wiki, so I don't do the things I used to automatically anymore. Thanks for the heads up. Throwaway85 (talk) 07:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

You have done this yet again. Please could you check more carefully when editing ArbCom pages? Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 08:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Throwaway85. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Y_(programming_language)

Hi! I was taking a look at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Y_(programming_language). Do you have copies of all of these papers? According to WP:N one criterion is ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."

So if you can establish that those papers have "significant coverage" of Y the programming language they can count, even if Y isn't the main subject of the paper. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Characterization as Progressive in lede

Whilst I can easily understand your new section in the Talk page about Hans Litten, I don't understand the new section's heading at all. What is the meaning of "in lede"? The only thing I can think of is: "Characterization as Progressive in Lederhosen"? I doubt that you meant to say that, so can you help me to understand what you are saying? Anameisbutaname^Talk 10:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

the lede is the opening paragraph of the article, before any of the actual sections. It's just a pretentious way of saying, "introduction", but it's the standard usage on en.wp as far as I'm aware. My question was regarding Litten's characterization as a Progressive in the article's introduction. Throwaway85 (talk) 13:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I've not heard of that before! Lede is a Wikipedia page that describes it. Imho it's quite bizarre to spell it that way! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anameisbutaname (talk • contribs) 14:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
