Sorry, turns out we revert-conflicted and I reverted your reversion... --Dylan620 (contribs, logs) 21:56, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback regarding the origin of the ((reflist|2|refs= ... )) and ((r|myRefName)) templates. I now know that the adopted term is List-defined references. Doesn't have quite the same ring as the names we came up with. 'Tis surely somewhat surreal sensing a semblance of enlightenment and anticlimax in the one moment. A touch of mild cognitive dissonance perhaps. I have amended my user page to reflect this new knowledge, along with some examples of articles using the style either exclusively or in combination with other styles.

Retinue (talk) 09:03, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Maedin. Some technical issues have arisen relating to the use of the ((r)) template to achieve list-defined references, that we weren't aware of in our earlier discussions, nor in our good-faith implementation of the template. That goes for all of us implementing it. However, it turns out that the ((r)) template poses some technical problems for bots and scripts, causing some of them to not work properly.
It has been pointed out that list-defined references can also be achieved using <ref name=></ref> templates, which don't cause any difficulties for bots and scripts. I think this is both a fair point, and the easiest solution.
I don't know about you, but I didn't envisage technical problems caused by the use of the ((r)) template. My own purpose was simply to declutter article text and make it easier to edit the text and the references. This is the same for GyroMagician. We explored a couple of ways of doing this, before settling on what we now know are list-defined references, courtesy of your kind feedback.
Because my introduction to list-defined references was via the ((r)) template, and the current technical issues had not yet surfaced, I naturally assumed that the ((r)) template was the way one achieved list-defined references. Per my user page, I did come to realise that the Harvard templates could also serve the purpose of decluttering articles and grouping the references at the bottom. But the Harvard templates, while useful in some contexts, can impose a degree of cumbersomeness over and above that of the list-defined reference method, meaning the latter is a more streamlined method. No problems with that.
Given my newly acquired awareness that ((r)) templates pose technical difficulties, whereas the pre-existing <ref> templates do the job just as easily, but don't cause technical difficulties, I have no difficulty acknowledging that and amending the ((r)) templates to <ref> templates. My reason of course is that I was not in the business of promoting any particular template, but using a suitable Wikitext to achieve the goal of creating list-defined references in some articles, insofar as list-defined references are a benefit to those articles and seen as a benefit.
The irony in all this is that it was our naive use of the ((r)) template which brought to the fore some technical issues which hitherto weren't salient. I have now updated a number of articles with the <ref> templates, and if you like, I would be quite happy to do the same with articles which you've worked on. I think it far more prudent to do that, than to cause unnecessary headaches for others. Regards Wotnow (talk) 03:37, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Maedin! Today I saw your reply written in August :). See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spoken_Wikipedia#Russian_language_.28team-work.29.
Yes, I am fan and user of Audacity :). And I like to make compilations of suitable music (of course with open license :) with the voice. E.g. You can listen my last work with music background: File:Ru-Russians.ogg.

I reverted your edit to Honeycomb (disambiguation) because it does not contain a navigable link. Disambiguation pages exist to help navigate Wikipedia, not provide definitions.

Why did it get promoted? Even counting the weak oppose as half vote I count 4.5 supports. Wasn't the minimum 5? franklin 21:29, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Maedin, I came across your page seeking for an answer, as I was seeking for another answer. Both unanswered so far. I was expecting an answer from Okip, so I went to his page. There I saw a posting from Coffee, which surprised me as being associated with coffee as I am. Thus I went to his page and was very impressed with his curriculum and graphics. I asked him a question, but did not get an answer. Looking for his answer, I found the name and page of Jujutacular, which are equally impressive. And from there, reviewing his/her talk page, I found your name and page. You also have very impressive curriculum vitae and accomplished editing record. Wow! You have a lovely page. I am a novice editor, just started back in December, and already got in trouble once. But I am trying to learn. Just wanted to say “hola”, as I saw you speak Spanish (so do I). I speak a little English and have been trying to learn French and Italian all my life; maybe someday I’ll learn them. With kindest regards, --Grancafé (talk) 18:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I finally went to Vidhana Soudha and the Karnataka High Court, (they are opposite to each other). So while it was golden hour for the high court, the Soudha building was facing away from the sun. In the end I managed to get some good pics for both though. Here's File:Vidhana Soudha sunset.jpg. After working for more than half an hour stitching and editing the high court pic, PS crashed and I hadn't saved so I will put that up later.

Hi. I was wondering if you planned to nominate one of these images at FPC. I'm not sure if you saw jjron's or my comments. I think the action shot in particular has a decent enough chance of passing, regardless of whether you clone out the chin spot.

Hello Julie, My name is Adam Dread. I do appreciate the work you do with Wikipedia. I am writing you today in reference to your comments about my article, specifically questioning my "notablility" and my book. I would respectfully request that you take another look. If you "exact search" Google me you will find anywhere between 15,000 and 42,000 links, depending on the time of day. My exact search Bings are well over 5 million. In the past 6 months alone I have been on or been dpscussed on many national news shows, as well as countless major online media entertainment outlets. My books are not available on Amazon intentionally, as the are "niche" market books, and sold specifically in the intended markets. Thank tou for your time. Sincerely,

Hi. I was closing a nomination at FPC and ran into some trouble. I'd link you to the nom, but that's the trouble! The page name has the ' in it a few times, so gets italicized. Because of this, my links here and here are broken. I thought I knew how to fix this, but I've failed miserably. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello Maedin, I wonder if you'd be willing to lend a hand with FPC review part 2. We're now at the results stage, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to take the time to notify at least the contributors to stage 1 of the review. You may already be aware that I'm having difficulty finding time for WP, otherwise I'd do this myself. Do let me know if you can help; otherwise I may simply have to extend the deadline or find another volunteer, so no worries if it doesn't fit into your schedule. If you do take this on, you may find it easiest to just use the same standard message for everybody - it's what I did. Thanks also for noticing my crop among the poppy set a little while ago!

On June 13, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Saint Paulin Church, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi Maedin,
Saw this discussion on FPC:Talk. Not sure I fully understand the implications as it's the first I've heard about it. But have had a bit of a look through the linked pages and it appears it may gradually restrict my editing 'rights' if I don't ask for these reviewer rights. OTOH I don't really intend to sit around 'reviewing' other people's edits on contentious articles - sure I fix vandalism or whatever if I see it, but I don't have time to go hunting it down - so should I have these rights, or am I even eligible for it if I have no real intention of 'reviewing' as such? Perhaps you can advise? Thanks, --jjron (talk) 13:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The article states, "Due to the damaging effects that mutations can have on cells, organisms have evolved mechanisms such as DNA repair to remove mutations."
This is an untenable statement which require accepting speculation as fact. Put simply, we have no evidence in science that an error correction process has evolved - there are no known precursor proceeses which can are verifiable as ancestral to DNA Repair. If you want to leave this statement in the article, I will ask that you provide me with the evidence that DNA repair mechanisms have evolved by providing evidence of precursor examples. The article is about a subject of science, not one of speculations. In science, we need physical evidence. Speculations are not acceptable as positive assertions of fact. I will make no changes to the article which cannot be supported by observable, testable, and repeatable evidence, and I will expect you to adhere to these same standards of science. If you would like to respond to me via email, I encourage you to email me at <email removed>.
I will await your response before providing further problems with the article.
