Hello Michael,
Why "material unsuited" ? David and Larry Sontag are twins. Between 1987 and 1998, they were professionals of catch wrestling (like Dave Power and Larry Power in "The Power Twins") then they perform in dozen films ( Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve or Jack and Jill) with names David and Larry Sontag...
I am an old contributor on French Wikipedia (since 2006) but I don't speak English very well so I don't know rules on English Wikipedia.
GabrieL ( talk) 18:09, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Michael, I see that you devote a lot of time to Wikipedia and make many valuable contributions, especially in upholding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I also tend to do a lot of copy editing and conforming articles to WP:MOS. However, you could do even more good for Wikipedia by continuing to do what you do with more tact toward other editors. I base this recommendation on reading the most recent archives of your Talk page. Standards are important, but encouraging broader public participation in creating and editing Wikipedia is even more important to the project in the long run (I'm not talking about deliberate vandals). Where possible, consider trying to salvage imperfect edits rather than reverting them—especially with well-intentioned, but inexperienced, Wikipedians. Also, consider using a more friendly, welcoming tone in your communications with other editors and even in your edit summaries, especially with less experienced editors. There will always be a corps of editors who like to copy edit and to conform articles to the MOS. However, recruiting and retaining new editors, and broadening the diversity of editors, are two of the most serious problems that confront the Wikipedia project.— Finell 09:06, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
Certainly, my addendum is unsourced, but how to "source" a vernacular you grew up in?
Is it unlikely? You must call me a liar to deny the certainty of the existence of this collocation. So likelihood is certainly not really an appropriate qualification. Since the de-rigeur quote is also from Götz, there is no chance to deny the factual "This is a Götz-quote, too." Furthermore I reported the quite reasonable background for this construction, so I really do not see a reason to revert this small addendum.
Whatever, I do know already about this Wikipedian spirit to talk about boldly editing and perform brutally reverting. I assure you, that I grew up in Austria, attended all schools and university there and still live there, so I know about the language as it is now spoken (and written), and therefore ask you politely to revert back your rush reversion. In any outcome I will not move one finger on this.

In MOS:FLAGS it says: In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself.
Flags served a purpose in that sortable table. With them, you can sort the premiere dates by country. This highlights which countries were the most active regarding relevant contemporary music premieres, as well as listing its cities by number of premieres. Now you can sort the locations by city but not by country, while with the flags you could sort them by both.
Can we have them back? Pakhtakorienne ( talk) 09:51, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
I used the small tags to keep the table from breaking. Or is it just my computer?
I think fitting the information to the table makes it easier to read and grasp. And I thought keeping the tables aligned had precedence over font size. But if most users prefer having everything in the same size rather than having it aligned I won't use this tag anymore, I don't really mind since you can shrink the font via CRTL + mouse (actually I think it's better with everything shrunk one font size).

Hi, Michael. Based on your post at Template talk:Infobox person/Archive 22#Influences/Influenced in June 2014, you mention discussions at length about the "influences / influenced by" infobox fields. I was involved in one at some point, and if there are others, maybe you could point me to them.
There's an edit-war going on with anon IPs (possibly the same person) at Jon Stewart, so I note neutrally that you, as someone who has discussed this topic and is knowledgeable on it, might wish to weigh in Talk:Jon Stewart#Influences in infobox. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 19:42, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the
API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Hey, thanks for you edits on the above page, which I originally created (it was, admittedly, the first I had ever done). Some of the changes were interesting to me, and since expanding the Sibelius tone poems is a goal of mine (for example, I have one in the oven on The Oceanides in my sandbox), I think it'd be good if I took a moment to understand these rules that were unknown to me. If you, as a pro, have time for a brief explanation, I'd really appreciate it, especially since many of the things I had done I had found as examples on other pages (such as the orchestration layout) and the fixed sizing for images. Also, I thought the flags were a nice touch on the discography, because it allowed sorting of the table by orchestra country of origin.
Anyway, thanks again. Anything that makes the Sibelius pages better is in my book a step in the right direction.

HELP:POEM. Other things, like the formatting of orchestration lists, are to a large degree up to personal preference; in this case, the format I found had 4 paragraphs and 17 lines which struck me a wasteful, so I reformatted it into 4 lines instead.

Today I added a media reference to the film Fitzcarraldo and you deleted it. The explanation was that it was non-notable, and I disagree. This film has many media references and I added a legitimate one that wasn't mentioned. Would adding a citation make a difference? I am surprised that the solution was to delete the change outright, with no questions asked.
I apologize if this isn't the proper channel to address you on this issue. Thank you.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the suggestion to use the "packed" option for the gallery on Mittwoch aus Licht. I was not aware of this option before. I did try it, but the effect did not seem good to me. On my browser (Safari), it resulted in the same number of displayed lines, but maximized the width of each individual image by removing the "frames". The "unpacked" format looks tidier to me. I have very little experience with galleries.

Please read the discussion on BWV 35, where people felt the need to explain what BWV is, but a link from the bolded redirect BWV xyz looks ugly (also the MOS says something about no link from the bold article title which might imply the redirects as well).

Michael,
I'm a singer, keyboard player, choir accompainist and choir singer. I assure you , female tenors are real, rare albiet, but real. Therefore, contralto is not the lowest female range, tenor is. I will admitt, in Opera there is no such thing as a female tenor. So I won't change the text in the opera section, however, the sections that don't reference opera, would you agree that contralto is not the lowest female range, tenor is (even though it's rare). For example, bass isn't the lowest male rale, basso profundo actually is, but like lady tenors, it too is rare. You follow ? KoshVorlon 16:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

You are invited to join the discussion at T137613 regarding whether to create a Phabricator project for the Popups gadget. (I noticed you've previously commented on Mediawiki talk:Gadget-popups.js, and thought you might be interested.) Thanks! Enterprisey ( talk!) (formerly APerson) 21:04, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Maria Callas may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

I have added content to the article to explain why the song received a Platinum Award from APRA. This is supported by two refs: one a contemporary ref from May 1988 and the other from APRA's own website. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 13:26, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I understand your revert of my edit on The Sacrifice (opera) quoting WP:NAMB. What I don't understand is why you would not want to help a reader who has gone astray by giving them a helping hand, for instance by using a hatnote to help them on their way without having to start their search again. WP:NAMB contains advice, not law. And why did you put "unsourced quotes" at the end of your edit summary Jodosma (talk) 19:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the image to the Requiem, in 2010! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:22, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I read it, and I think it should be ignored in this case because that section's function is not truly disambiguation, but merely to make clear that there are several places in the United Kingdom called Winton. I likely wouldn't bother with that link if there were an article about Winton, Hampshire, as that would be more to the point. Come to think of it, though, what I've done now is an even better idea. Go and look. Kelisi ( talk) 16:37, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Can you explain your decision to remove The Monk, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Belladonna of Sadness and The Day of the Beast, which all involve deals with the devil from Template:Faust.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:34, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
As someone who is from a family who skips generations for what would otherwise be family names, I'm not going to assume and neither should we. Dismas| (talk) 16:17, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Michael Bednarek. We recently participated in a discussion which motivated my filing of an Arbcom request. Although you are not a named party, your interest in the RFC mentioned juxtaposes to potential interest in the Arbcom request as well. I am therefore, inviting you to consider your own interest in the matter, and welcoming your involvement should you find it desirous. Best-- John Cline ( talk) 17:26, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
