Hey there!

Thanks for the comment! I'll keep my eyes open next time! About the warning, once a last warning has been posted, do I post another last warning? I thought the 'only warning' template came after the last warning one. =S Again, thanks for correcting my mistake with the Physicist article.

Thanks for your comprehensive reply! It certainly explained a lot. I didn't know about the 'order' of warn templates.

Are you an admin? Have you applied for admin-ship? You should be. You're pretty helpful. I'm gonna apply after I complete about 8000 edits and help reduce the backlog of page requests.

Oh well. Live and learn. =)

Hello

Just a note that I saw your comment at ANI; any user is permitted to contribute to AN and ANI as there is no hierarchy or class system at Wikipedia and Administrators have no special rights to participate in conversations to the exclusion of non-admins. Happy editing. MBisanz ^talk 04:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Changes made by SmackBot

Hi,thanks for your message, SmackBot makes a number of changes that are available to all WP:AWB bots - in general these provide a number of non-controversial minor improvements.

The issue you raise is related to these, and is done as a "general fix", however SB used to have code to do this that was unique - whether AWB caught up or SB was a little smarter or both I can't remember. Regardless, it no longer does it as a task. Thanks for the note, I'll update the documentation a little. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 14:17 9 September 2008 (GMT).
