List of most viewed YouTube videos
editPlease see the List of most viewed YouTube videos talk page (here and here) concerning erroneous updates made on June 2 and June 9, i.e. two videos were seemingly overlooked and did not have number of views updated. Perhaps you still have the figures obtained during the last update and can correct the problem by using those or the later in the day numbers I obtained for the two videos in question? Thanks! 98.70.79.27 (talk) 18:51, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
editHi, I saw that you updated Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search earlier today. Thanks for your edit. You have been very helpful in updating that page whenever it is in need of updating. There is one slight problem with your edit, however. Although the second exponent was updated correctly, the first was erroneously updated from “50,688,739” to “50,742,971” when it should have been updated to “50,740,883.” The exponent 50,740,883 has not been double-checked yet. For future reference, please check the exponents at the top of the Milestones page; just because it doesn’t show up when you click on the link doesn’t mean it has been tested. It’s OK; everyone makes mistakes, but I can tell that in all the months you’ve been updating the page, you make more correct changes than incorrect ones. 173.76.246.128 (talk) 15:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

editWhere have you been?
editHello, Mainframe. Thank you for your time and contributions to Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search over the past 10 years. You were a big part in keeping that page up-to-date. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but judging by Special:Contributions/MainframeXYZ, it seems as though you disappeared off the face of the Earth, as your last edit was on November 30, 2020. You may like to know that four days into your "disappearance," GIMPS reached the long-awaited milestone of testing all numbers below 100,000,000. Please, for future reference, if possible, add an indication to your user page and/or talk page before you retire or take extended Wiki-vacations. I have been updating the GIMPS article over the last three months that you've been away, but your contributions are very welcome, and if you can return to updating the page, or spend just a few short minutes adding a notice to your user page saying a personal reason why you can't do that, please do so! 173.76.131.225 (talk) 14:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
