Messages

Hey Bisqwit! Somehow I failed to notice you were here on Wikipedia! We should organize a meeting to see how many users on your board also contribute here... --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 12:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Hehe. It appears my contributions pale in comparison to your contributions to Wikipedia, Feitclub. It appears you're a very active wikipedian. --Bisqwit 16:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Tool-assistance improvement drive

Hi Bisqwit. Since you're a Wikipedian and also probably the most knowledgeable person on the subject of tool-assisted speedruns, I'd like to direct your attention to the tool-assisted speedrun article, which I would like to do an improvement drive for this weekend. I'll personally be editing it heavily to try to bring it up to the status of good article, but I'll need the help of good editors who know a lot about the phenomenon. It would be great if you could help out! The talk page contains some information that you could get started with. In case you're up for some editing, see you there! —Michiel Sikma, 06:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Mega Man TAS article

I figured that you might want to know that the Mega Man (tool-assisted speedrun) article wasn't deleted afterall. The discussion thankfully ended in no consensus. —Michiel Sikma (Kijken maar niet aanraken) 22:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- A few months later - Ouch, the irony. —msikma <user_talk:msikma> 19:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Told you to not just sit and belittle the deletion warnings. :) --Bisqwit 08:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

MOD files

Ummm... please be careful with your facts. The edit to Talk:Star Control which changed the origin of MOD files was clearly made by the anon IP, not by me! Cheers --Pak21 07:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• I am sorry. I did think it wasn't an edit I would expect from you, but I didn't verify whether I actually misinterpreted the history when I looked at the diffs. Yes, I did a diff between two versions and took accidentally the author of the originating version (you) as the originator of the change. —Bisqwit 23:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Scatman John

On the page "Scat singing", I removed the reference to Scatman John from the "See also" section, because he was already in the preceding list of notable scat singers (by date of birth: 1942), as well as in the text of the article. -- Fayenatic london 22:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

dithering

I reverted your most recenting dithering method addition. In order for this type of contribution to be considered helpful, it needs to have a source. Same goes for some of your earlier additions, I think. Please bring it back when you can cite a reliable source with it. Dicklyon (talk) 17:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

• For Hilbert Peano, the algorithm is found in Imagemagick source code, and documented there. --Bisqwit (talk) 14:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
• For Scolorq, the algorithm is explained on Color quantization. I would refer to the actual website, [[1]], however that site seems to be always down when I need it. --Bisqwit (talk) 14:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
• This enough?

Probably not. Show us the citations. A link to another wikipedia article is not a source, by the way. Neither is source code, usually, though if you can show it and it really does discuss the method in published comments, maybe it will do. Dicklyon (talk) 17:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Silent protagonist

I have placed a copy of the article (sans categories and interwikis) at User:Bisqwit/Silent protagonist per your request. If you adapt it into something that should return to the main namespace, after any deletion review steps that might be necessary, please ask me or another administrator to reunite it with its edit history. Happy editing! Dekimasuよ! 03:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Hoard article question

Please provide some more precision as to the 'weasel words' notation on the Hoard page, since it appears that all comments are based on a scientific article (cited). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.44.209.167 (talk) 12:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bisqwit, could you please provide some more precision as to the 'weasel words' notation on the Hoard page, since it appears that all comments are based on the cited scientific article. Thanks.

I replied on the [[Talk:Hoard_memory_allocator|talk page] of that page. --Bisqwit (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Question about the C implementation of BMH

Hi Bisqwit. From what I can deduce, I don't think the Boyer-Moore-Horspool C implementation works; the jumps in the while loop will skip too much. Perhaps others updated your original implementation causing this effect?

The following test code, for example, can't locate "jumps" in the text.

// add #include <stdio.h>
int main() {
unsigned char hello[] = "jumps";
unsigned char text[] = "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";

const unsigned char * ret = boyermoore_horspool_memmem(text, sizeof(text)/sizeof(text[0]), hello, sizeof(hello)/sizeof(hello[0]));

printf("%s", ret);

return 0;
}

Cheers, --Ateeq.s (talk) 19:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Update:

Ignore my previous comment. :) Your implementation is correct. I should have used strlen() instead of sizeof(A)/sizeof(A[0]) since this counts the NULL.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
