Hi! Please dont remove under construction templates from pages without reason! - 15turnsm 04:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Fine, fine. I thought you had stopped editing it Tonyxc600 (talk) 21:35, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm, that signature is quite practical and unintrusive, if not as professional as you would have me believe Tonyxc600 (talk) 11:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then!--SteveTurner cont. 20:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

I see you have gained rollback rights, nice job! --SteveTurner cont. 01:46, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good job!

Thanks for your contribution to ward against vandalism in Colton Dixon article as you did with this edit. I look forward to working with you. - SyncSeth (talk) 06:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was a bit confused about whether this edit was vandalism, but then I thought, what the hell, it's an unnecessary addition, might as well revert it :P Thanks for the compliment P0150neD r1Ce asian 06:54, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coverville rollback

I made an edit to the Coverville article while not signed in, I explained the edit but you undid it, claiming it was an unexplained edit.

Stating that the podcast "accepts advertising via (name of network)" is beyond unencyclopedic and should not be there. Unigolyn (talk) 23:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree with Unigolyn for this particular matter. It is a borderline case in my opinion but it is probably better for the line in question to not be part of the article. Thanks! --SteveTurner cont. 23:56, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was using Huggle, so I probably just saw it as a random removal of content, and mindlessly reverted it. I'll be more careful next time, I promise!!! Sorry about this. P0150neD r1Ce asian 00:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Userbox

Opinion? Here it is --SteveTurner cont. 12:21, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Thanks for removing vandalism from my user page - much appreciated. Denisarona (talk) 08:11, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! ^^ P0150neD r1Ce asian 02:32, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nicole Zaloumis Clarification

If Alex Akita and settlesportsnet wish to use Nicole Zaloumis in the Wiki they should be accurate. Alex did not "boost" Nicole's career -He followed it.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.72.196.167 (talk) 02:19, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. I've posted on your talk page to explain the matter. Sorry! P0150neD r1Ce asian 02:27, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Succession of Windows 7

Hello, Tony

It seems you do not properly understand the ambiguity problem of the wording in the lead section of Windows 7 article. In computer software, "to succeed", used in present tense means the next version of a software product has come out. But this does not extend to past tense. When you say "was succeeded by", it means "lost its market dominance to".

And by the way, please keep irrelevant information out of articles. Windows 7 article is about Windows 7; there no call including the release date of another operating system unless there is a full-fledged discussion about the impact of the release on that specific date. I know you are probably excited about Windows 8 but that does not mean you should write it everywhere.

Please feel free to reply here or discuss in talk page.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 00:44, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.

Thanks; I appreciate your cooperative spirit. I'll try not to be strict. Yes, it is easy to find two instances of the same type of error in Wikipedia, so much so that sometimes people resort to "other stuff exist" discussions. But I digress. Let's reach a consensus, then we see if anything needs changed.

Rule of thumb is: General facts are written in simple present tense (e.g. water boils at 100 degrees Cecilius, birds lay eggs) while events are usually written in other tenses. When one says "was succeeded", it is simple past, passive. It means something actually happened. (e.g. a king died and his crown prince sat on the throne.) But what happened? Is all instances of Windows 7 deleted and replaced by Windows 8? I am sure Microsoft wants this but has it happened? However, "Succeed" (transitive) also means "to follow in sequence and especially immediately". So, "X is succeeded by Y" is an equivalent of "Y is the successor of X".

Now, we can have a compromise here: "Windows 7 is succeeded by Windows 8, released on 26 October 2012" does not have this problem. Yes, it talks about Windows 8, which I don't approve of; but I can ignore it. (Compromise, right?) So, how about it?

Best regards,

Codename Lisa (talk) 01:55, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 2012 MTV EMA

Hi, I'm replying to the message you left on my talk page about my edit. On that page the winners of each category have their names bolded. Linkin Park had won in the Best Rock category hence I made Linkin Park's name bolded. What was wrong with my edit?Tobeisto (talk) 22:35, 11 November 2012 (UTC)Tobeisto[reply]

Hi again! I understand, and don't worry about it! You were just doing your job; I can see how it would look suspicious xD. I'll make sure to do edit summaries from now on.Tobeisto (talk) 00:09, 12 November 2012 (UTC)Tobeisto[reply]

ACM edit

I added a student chapter to the ACM page. There was a link to the school's wikipedia page and it's simple enough to see the ACM student chapter information on USA's webpage. Figure a note on that would have been frivolous. However, if you so desire to put it back up there, you can check the page for yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.90.74.223 (talk) 02:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Canada's Role in the Afghanistan War

I believe this account must be used by some kind of bot because it immediately undid an edit I made to the wiki entry on "Canada's Role in the Afghanistan War" with a non-sensical explanation. I had updated the name of the ambassador to reflect the incumbent rather than the man who served three years ago, and your account told me that the edit was not relevant.

Message #2: thanks for your quick reply, and for the clarification that you are not a bot. I didn't intend to add my signature so thanks for removing that. My intent was to add the current ambassador. I see from the latest revision that that information has now been added, so thank you.

This is a school network, and obviously, as with school networks, most of the edits here are pure vandalism and in bad faith. I am not contesting the IP block, only the collateral damage to my account. Thanks! Command Conquerer Logs 23:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot for the life of me seem to find the block that's preventing you from editing. Are you able to do so now, or still blocked? - Vianello (Talk) 19:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I must have forgotten to check the block expiry date. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help! Command Conquerer Logs 03:59, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle 3 beta is out - and we need more feedback!

Hey tonyxc600, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (meta:Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull! Thank you for helping us with huggle Petrb (talk) 16:26, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:18, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon

Hi tonyxc600, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle ^connect!

Major changes:

Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:16, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle message

Hey tonyxc600! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 10:03, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
