Edits concerning NSD

Brucevdk. I am not sure what you had intended to say with the sentence "NSD was developed." on the NSD article you updated recently. Please update/clarify. Thanks -- enyc Enyc 22:36, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. These were the changes I made, I never modified the content of the article I just converted external links into references and added a disambiguation link to the Nassi-Shneiderman diagram article. The changes you're talking about were made by an anonymous user (User:80.126.124.36) after my own, see this change log. --Bruce 13:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

animated GIF image

Hello,

I noticed you removed the animated GIF image from Franklin D. Roosevelt which someone else recently added from Wikipedia Commons, and was wondering why? JGHowes ^talk - 04:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I removed it because of 2 reasons: 1) I'm not very fond of animated GIF images and 2) it wasn't near anything relevant. I looked it up and the image was added by User:Alex:Dan on February 16, 2007 (see user contributions, see article diff) along with many other animated GIFs to other articles.

I have to admit that my reasons for removing the image are quite subjective/personal, if you strongly feel like the image should be put back into the article you're obviously free to do so. I'm not aware of any policy/guideline recommending against using animated GIFs representing fragments of movies. If you do add it back, I request that you verify the reason as mentioned on the image description page. Notice that the original caption was "Roosevelt signing war declaration against Japan in 1941".

I'm wondering though, why did you feel the need to contact me about this issue? --Bruce 08:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Bruce, for the info. I have no strong feelings one way or the other about that particular gif, I was just wondfering if there's some Wikipedia policy or guideline about animated gifs I'm not aware of, and figured you'd know. I refrain from reverting an established editor without discussing it first, hence my post on your Talk page. Cheers, JGHowes ^talk - 03:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, glad to be of service. --Bruce 11:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:File:Apache-killing-Iraq.avi.ogg

Saw your message at the afd discussion just now. I am not sure about the particulars of this incident, however it was Durova (talk · contribs) who nominated the video clip for FPC status, as such you may wish to drop a line on her talk page and see if she could give you some idea about where you should start you investigation. I wish you luck in you attempt to uncover the information. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:33, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Plutchik Wheel

Just thought I'd let you know, they kept File:Plutchik-wheel.svg (uncopyrightable). There may be hope left for Art and Science after all.—Machine Elf ¹⁷³⁵ 18:34, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

Hi. When you recently edited Los Angeles Tennis Center, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:43, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
