I have filed a request for enforcement concerning edits you made at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Rich Farmbrough. Fram ( talk) 13:41, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
To all my Wiki-Colleagues - Have some Wiki-Birthday Cake! I shall be sharing my Real LIfe™ Walnut and coffee cake, while I share this virtual cake here.
Please invite your friends, there is plenty to go round. All the best,

Hi Rich, I've closed the Arbitration Enforcement request and referred it to the Arbitration Committee at WP:ARCA#Clarification request: Rich Farmbrough. Regards, Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 09:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
A motion has been proposed in Clarification request: Rich Farmbrough. For the Arbitration Committee, Rockfang ( talk) 16:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Rich, I randomly tried a few links from the 1918 index and it looks like the Gazette's move to it's new url and pagination has screwed things up as I got a 100% error rate. For example the 1 January issue url you have in the index is http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/30453/pages/1 this is now https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30453/page/113 and the first supplement which was http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/30454/supplements/1 is now https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30454/supplement/225 All in a bit of a pain in the backside. Nthep ( talk) 08:08, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Can you perhaps advise me how to improve my sources script? You probably know I don't have any programming skills and wouldn't know how to define a loop even if my life depended on it. The script has been cobbled together based on an earlier version of my Engvar script that someone else helped me with. However, the "dictionary" in this script, split into three separate subscripts, is very large and involves very heavy processing. I'd like to ask you to help me optimise it so that it doesn't stall in operation as is frequently the case. Explanations in layman's terms of how it works and how it could be improved would be most welcome; ditto for suggestions as to code modifications. Cheers, -- Ohc ¡digame! 03:28, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
will be faster, since it won't create (and destroy) the two variables $1 and $2. Over the whole thing this may help. I'll look more later. All the best,
Rich
Farmbrough,
03:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC).
OK another big thing is that we are doing these reg-exes on the whole document. If instead we extract the citation templates, and process them in a smart way we will get maybe 2-3 orders of magnitude speed up. All the best,
Rich
Farmbrough,
03:58, 11 April 2014 (UTC).
Hey Rich hows it going. I just wanted to let you know I commented in your defence on your case. Personally I think they are going to keep gunning for you. The sanction is written so poorly it will be impossible to meet it. They are going to find a reason to ban you I'm afraid. Its only a matter of time. They are targetting all the top editors one at a time. Anyway, the children of Arbcom will probably delete my statement since I was banned so I would quite commenting about the failures of Arbcom and the abusive admins on this site. But I wanted to add it anyway so its on record. Good luck and like I said before your always welcome at Wikia. We may not have as many articles, editors or drama of Wikipedia, but we do have cookies. In fact we have entire Wiki's about cookies.! ake care bro. K u m i o k o (the editor who shall not be named) 172.56.3.8 ( talk) 03:20, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

23:32, 13 April 2014 (UTC).Hi! I'm writing a bot task (see
User talk:PotatoBot#PotatoBot for Glottolog codes?) that will add a parameter to {{
Infobox language}}. Trouble is, this parameter (glotto=
) creates a ref, and not all articles have a <references />
, {{
reflist}}
or something equivalent. Is there some bot that could follow after mine, or code that I could use, or some other solution? Your help would be appreciated! --

In a major reversal Rich has walked away from an article with four identical errors, after only correcting one of them! Talk Page interviewed the well known rapscallion at an address "somewhere in the East Midlands"
Talk Page: So we understand that you have finally broken your addiction.
Rich: <shuffling> Yes, that's right.
Talk Page: What happened?
Rich: "Well I was just reading
Battle of Caporetto order of battle, trying to find out about the seventh infantry division, and putting a red-link in for it, when I noticed the section heading was wrongly capitalised - as were four others on the same page.
Talk Page: So you corrected it?
Rich: Well I corrected half of it.
Talk Page: Only half?
Rich: I had to go back and fix the second half. I was getting the shakes. You don't know what it's like....
Talk Page: But you walked away form the other three errors?
Rich: Yeah... It was hard, but I did it. Don't want people thinking I'm <spits> automated...
Talk Page: Well, congratulations! That just shows this compulsive urge to "not act like a human" can be overcome! And now, back to the studio...

Re your comments "I did not expect that anyone would take exception to straight-forward editing" -- did you think Fram had retired or something? In any event, since a) your sense of wiki politics isn't the best (assuming that, long term, you still want to continue editing) and b) thus far, there's not much evidence Arbcom '14 is any more reasonable than Arbcom '12, you should just let them have the last word at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee and stop quibbling over the little stuff on the clarification page.

You said at AE that this edit is not taken from this document, §35. In that case, where was it taken from? Thanks, AGK [•] 06:54, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
The arbitration clarification request, either involving you, or in which you participated (Rich Farmbrough) has resulted in a clarification motion by the Arbitration Committee
The Clarification can be found at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rich_Farmbrough#Clarifications_by_motion and the complete discussion can be found at Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rich_Farmbrough#Clarification_request:_Rich_Farmbrough_.28April_2014.29 For the Arbitration Committee,-- S Philbrick (Talk) 16:29, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Which edition were you using for that reference? There are three different editions, with three different paginations. And, as a courtesy, could you try to format the references as much like the rest of the citations - which are formatted like "Gransden, Antonia. Historical Writing in England. Ithaca, New York: Cornell UP, 1974. 6" - if you'd included a date, I wouldn't have to ask about which edition was being used. Thanks. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:04, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Awarded to those who have given a great answer on the
Teahouse Question Forum. A good answer is one that fits in with the Teahouse expectations of proper conduct: polite, patient, simple, relies on explanations not links, and leaves a talkback notification. | |
Very helpful answer, as I needed that information as well!

A question: What markup are you using in your signature to get the date stamp small? (
Wikipedia:Signatures doesn't help.) I tried to add <small>{{#time:H:i, j F Y (T)}}</small>
to mine and that produces a small datestamp alright but then the system treats it as if there wasn't a datestamp and adds a second one in normal font size. Like this: —
