It would seem...
...that I initiated this tirade. Thanks for cleaning up my talk page! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:20, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Jim1138: No problem! Thanks for your reversions on mine as well. Lets hope its over... - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Nope :( You cant stop me22 (talk · contribs) is the newest sock. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- I once proposed an artificial reality patch to Wikipedia. When someone like this got started, an admin would turn on the AR. It would appear that they were vandalizing the page and maybe others would be reverting them. But their edits would only exist in their AR. Jim1138 (talk) 07:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- If only that existed, it would be very useful and kinda funny. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Could incorporate a vexatious chatterbot to further antagonize the vandal.

Signature
Hi, I just voted below you in an RFA. I use this syntax highlighter, and your signature caused it to highlight everything below your signature, making the highlighting useless. Could you please add a </b> after the second Dingo in your signature? The highlighter expects all html tags and link markup to be closed, so the unclosed bold tag causes problems. Thanks. kennethaw88 • talk 18:55, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
@Kennethaw88: 
Done I think. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 21:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Almost. It actually needs to go inside the link, so it should look like
<b style="color:brown">Dingo</b>]]. That way, all the tags are closed in the reverse order they are opened. kennethaw88 • talk 01:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kennethaw88: Sorry about that.
I've now fixed it. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kennethaw88: Sorry about that.

Malvern Water (bottled water)
Hi. My GA nomination of Malvern Water (bottled water) - I didn't realise that this nomination would be picked up so quickly. it often takes months. I'm tied up at the moment in RL with family members in hospital and a major RfC on Wikipedia, plus my totally incompatible time zone, but I'll try to start addressing your points before the deadline expires. It's an older article so I don't suppose any of the other contributors are still around. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:07, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Fair enough Kudpung, I won't be too strict with the deadline.- Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comprehension and thank you for agreeing to do this review. My Malvern is a long way from Malvern in Melbourne (where I also have relatives) and if this kind of article interests you, there will be others in Cat. Malvern, Worcestershire to review. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- All done except for a couple of refs (please see my note at Talk:Malvern Water (bottled water)/GA1. BTW, if you are in Oz there are only a couple of hours time difference depending where you are there..--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kudpung: I'm in AEST (the Eastern half of Aus) (UTC+11). It i currently 10:30 pm so I'll have a look at the GAN tomorrow. Thanks for your promptness, - Yellow Dingo (talk) 12:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Re: FLC
Good work with the list but certainly not my area of expertise. Give me a day or two, I'll try to cover some minor aspects. —Vensatry (talk) 05:50, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Vensatry: Thanks. If you don't feel comfortable than don't worry about reviewing. I'm sure others will turn up. That said if you do have a look over it would be greatly appreciated. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:53, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks ! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:22, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- No worries! - Yellow Dingo (talk) 03:27, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you also for the clean-ups. I've taken the tip about Advisor.js and I'll see if I can make it work for me. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- I too only recently discovered it and I only started using it a couple of days ago. Seems like a nifty little tool. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Your closure of AfD
Hi. You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leader of the Opposition (Bulgaria) as "no consensus". Please reconsider it – my nomination was rather detailed and based on policy and precedent, and the only other commenter concurred, citing WP:SYN. Even if that is not deemed a sufficient consensus, it clearly falls at least into WP:SOFTDELETE category, as it's no worse than an endorsed WP:PROD. No such user (talk) 10:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry about that No such user, I have re-opened it and will leave for another user to close. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:52, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. No such user (talk) 10:55, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Max Esposito, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Camden. 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.

DYK for Triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's
On 19 September 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the margin of victory in the women's triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics was approximately 15 centimetres (6 in)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
