Hey! I appreciate your notice of my partial conversion of {{ USRD}} to {{ WPBannerMeta}}, but please don't get ahead of yourself. I don't have any plans to further develop this port until the Lua version of WPBannerMeta is complete. It was more of a simple proof-of-concept test. Thanks anyway. - happy 5214 17:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
You have just moved The New Testament in the Original Greek to Wescott-Hort. But unfortunately this is not right. This edition is named after Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort so Westcott-Hort would be the right lemma or else Westcott & Hort or Westcott and Hort. I dont know what you have done besides that, but it is not possible to move it to the right lemma because there exists a redirect. So please do whatever it takes to fix the problem.-- Giftzwerg 88 ( talk) 20:50, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
There is an official FSF list with GPL-compatible licenses, if you find beerware there, great, add a reference, add a GPL yes, and update Comparison of free and open-source software licenses, section #Approvals, row beerware. As long as there is a no what other projects say is irrelevant. Notably Debian is also listed as no, while you claim that they approved it as GPL-compatible, something they are not entitled to do, the FSF decides it. Bring references. – Be..anyone ( talk) 03:59, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I've removed Device mapper category from Device mapper, dm-cache and dm-crypt articles, as it pretty much just causes unnecessary fragmentation within the Linux kernel features category. Once we have more than three articles related to the device mapper, this new category is going to fit much better. Hope you agree. — Dsimic ( talk | contribs) 19:45, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Slash in the name of wiki pages generally means that what follows the slash is a subpage, so this naming is confusing. Why not use "and" instead of /. Also, "external" should be in the name of the category if it's supposed to be only for tools for external links. -- V111P ( talk) 07:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Or if we wanted ridiculous nesting levels, we could add all five! — SamB ( talk) 17:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
If you are interested I think there are a couple more, one by Piers Anthony and one by Greg Bear. Would need a little research as I can't remember the titles (and, of course, might be wrong). All the best:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Portable Network Graphics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IDAT. 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.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
