Your comment at the portals RFC

edit

I see you added a comment at the bottom of the page for the RFC about portals. This looks like an "Oppose" comment that should go in the "26 April 2018" section of that page (since that's the date you left the comment). Would you like me to move it to there with an "Oppose" label (like the other comments in the dated sections, which are marked either "Support" or "Oppose", or some other variant), or would like to do that yourself? - dcljr (talk) 02:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Dcljr: I'll just remove it since it's not saying much.

That's not necessary. I can move (not remove) it for you, if you want. - dcljr (talk) 02:37, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Someone else moved it to the "26 April 2018" section. - dcljr (talk) 00:16, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Robinson Technologies, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:41, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Smash!

You've been squished by a whale!
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something really silly.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:15, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

A suggestion

edit

I appreciate the thought, but perhaps not be so profligate in your handing out of Barnstars. More typically, people award these in topic areas where they themselves are active over a period of time, and have an understanding of what the awardee has been working on. Handing out a Barnstar to someone because you happened upon an article or two they worked on, especially for a topic you yourself have done no work, devalues the intent. I deleted the one you left on my Talk page. And I suggest you don't Barnstar (or Trout) yourself. David notMD (talk) 10:55, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

You're very kind...

...but shouldn't that be "ba-a-a-a-a-a-ad" rather than "crazy"? Sorry.

Happy editing! --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:05, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: What I meant by crazy was unbelievable and amazing! ―YoloMaxi  (contribs) 21:17, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   18:13, 26 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
