Good evening sir, i am very interested in what you have posted up until this point. Duncan Fyfe (talk) 05:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Religious emblems programs (Boy Scouts of America), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Church of God. 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.

Hi, Gadget850. I wonder where I could go to make a request about the UI for the CharInsert tool. The request is to change "Sign your posts on talk pages:" to simply "Signature:", and "Cite your sources:" to simply "Cite:". Or something shorter, so that the tool would display itself on 1 line instead of 2. Thanks. – Margin1522 (talk) 07:18, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

:I added more examples to Help:CharInsert#Customization instructions. The simplest way is to create a new selection; see the Insert2 example. --  Gadget850 ^talk 11:13, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

::Thanks! I wasn't even thinking of this, but this is terrific. I added u, ping, code nowiki, and 4 macron vowels for Japanese, and it works like a charm. This is really convenient. – Margin1522 (talk) 14:41, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear 'Gadget850', {{smiley}}

I hope you are keeping well today.
Thank you for the improvements you applied on the subject template, shortly after I applied an earlier fix (using

I wondered about changing "center" to "centre" but what do we do with organise/organize. It has to be "z" in the title, but elsewhere both are used. Do we want the first sentence to be "The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM /wʊzm/) is the largest international Scouting organisation" with both "z" and "s" in the same sentence? Since the title uses American English, I am inclined to use it for this article. Does WOSM use American English throughout its documents? --Bduke (Discussion) 20:01, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

:I was just puzzling over that myself. -- Gadget850 ^talk 20:24, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

::Puzzle away. I am sure you will get to the best answer. I have to go to work today. --Bduke (Discussion) 20:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Just what policy issue was there to justify the T2 of {{article style}}? Personally, I think that policy and long-established guidelines support efforts to keep article self-consistent, so a gentle reminder of what date format or citation style is in use should be something backed by policy, not prohibited by it!

You do know that I put the template into use on 27 articles' edit notices, one of which now has no content at all? There are editors who insert new citations or text using DMY format dates instead of the MDY used in the US, and I thought that a gentle, and small, reminder of what date format was in use would help to prompt them to "get things right the first time". Of those 27 articles, 26 are FAs, which should be maintained in a consistent state. Imzadi 1979 → 15:32, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

:Either restore it or go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. I'm out of the citation business for the next six months. -- Gadget850 ^talk 15:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Template:Article style. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Imzadi 1979 → 01:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I think to would be more constructive if we chatted at Template talk:Chart top. -- PBS (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing]), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing project] noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Micru User:Micru] on meta.

Gadget,

I noticed in your work to sweep away the remains of references-small, on a couple of pages (Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel and Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland) that you accidentally swept away a note that shared a line with the tags. I'm not sure how many pages you had to sweep through, but if you could check to see if any other notes got lost that way, that might be good. 1bandsaw (talk) 00:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gadget, now that consensus seems to have decided 1. that it is allowed to use smallcaps for authornames in reference lists, and 2. that CS1 and CS2 are not going to support this feature, then I need someone to help me make a new citation template that does support it. There is {{template|Cite LSA}}, but it is not compatible with most of the functions that CS1 can handle such as linking from short citations, and the parameters have weird names making the change from CS format to LSA very work intensive. Do you think you might be willing/able to help with this? Really a CS1 style with an smallcaps option would be extremely useful for the wikiprojects where this has been used as standard.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:14, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm just curious as to why you'd think {{refn}} is better than {{#tag:ref}} (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Light-year&diff=prev&oldid=663259623). Jimp 07:41, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

: See the #Recent edits thread above.

: I've been writing wikicode, templates, parser functions and DPL for years. {{#tag:ref}} is second nature to me. It's still horribly obscure and confusing to most editors. Really not the sort of thing we want in article bodies. It's reasonable to push one obscure syntax, templates, onto content editors but we shouldn't require knowledge of the other syntax dialects at the same time. Hide them away in templates, as this change does. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:30, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

::::That will be pass 2, which will include current uses of {{tlx|refn}} using {{para|group|lower-alpha}}. I also need to get rid of quotes as those will default the reflist label style to decimal.

Hi! Back in November 2014, you edited {{tl|clade}} with an edit summary about obsolete HTML. Apparently this broke the display of the template; see Talk:Plant#phylogenetic tree broken for a link to an image of how it appeared. I have reverted the template back to before your edit, but if this obsolete HTML will be a problem, I'd like to find a way to make the template work with better code. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rkitko ^(talk) 02:51, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
