If my edit was unneccesary, your edit was unneccesary twice. Please explain. --188.105.118.172 (talk) 09:22, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

  • You do not need to have spaces in between sections of citations. DeskOS (talk) 10:19, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
I know. It is not forbidden as well but much better readable. --188.105.118.172 (talk) 14:05, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User:Codename Lisa, you may be blocked from editing. Fleet Command (talk) 08:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Spartan (browser). ViperSnake151  Talk  15:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

  • All I did was forget to put in a source. I've only vandalized once, and that was Codename Lisa for preventing my attmpts to help Wikipedia. I try making hlpful edits, but they just get reverted. Look at my contributions! I've made many helpful edits, or at least attempts. How Is changing EdgeHTML to its name that microsoft calls it rather than EdgeHTML.dll? My edits (with the exception of Codename Lisa's user page vandalism) were meant to help Wikipedia Say I have made multiple disruptive edits, even though it is not true. Also, that was the only vandalism that I ever thought would do. No more truly disruptive edits. Disruptive edit count: 1. DeskOS (talk) 01:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Your edit was sloppy; your change switch sent people to Edge, an irrelevant page. But if Codename Lisa was, she would have believed you, when you say it was an honest mistake and does not deserve a warning. Do you know why? Because Codename Lisa is one of our friendliest editors. If she has been hard with you, it is because instead of resorting to proper dispute resolution, you resorted to edit warring and uncivil vengeful action in violation of WP:CIVIL. It is not late to resume good behavior, however. Fleet Command (talk) 18:46, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
  • I looked up the article's history. It appears more than one editor disagrees with you. You should have tried the talk page a long time ago. I myself am more inclined towards eliminating the redundant "Project". Fleet Command (talk) 18:51, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay. I'll try better to avoid edit wars. I also will not continue the edit war about "Project". and I'll read some of the above things for beginner Wikipedia users. I hope that this situation can get better. Note: I'm really sloppy on this nontouch Kindle. DeskOS (talk) 22:20, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Discussion at ANI

There is currently a discussion at WP:ANI#talk page comment needs addressing regarding the behavior of an IP editor who has previously interacted with you, specifically denigrating you on this page. If you have any idea who this person might be, or what area of dispute may have led you to being targeted by this individual, it would be useful to know that. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 20:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

  • I do not have any idea who this could be. I wasn't even aware of this. FateForWindows (talk) 23:51, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Watercolor & Candy Themes?

Hello, in your end on the Windows XP visual styles article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_visual_styles), you somehow got both Watercolor and Candy to work! I've been trying to this for a couple of months now, but to no avail. Can you please explain to me how you managed to get them functioning? Thank you very much for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.240.143.119 (talk) 22:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

  • It was pretty simple: I compiled the .msstyles for each of them, copied them to the Themes folder and they worked out of the box. Same goes for Mallard. If you can track either the leak or the built files themselves down, they should work just fine on RTM releases as long as they were built from source. Desko (talk) 00:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
