Pertaining to this topic, Marcus qwertus is apparently solely out to hunt down and revert edits from sockpuppets, and has deleted a number of legitimate edit requests from an ip. The edits surround the latest day of the senate journal and pertain to committee assignments. I feel as it is important to demonstrate. Also, two admins have reverted three articles to a much weaker version that need to be reverted. They are Tom niehaus, William g batchelder, and Joe Schiavoni. You will see the best version. Please revert. |

Solution for you
Hi. It's sad that you are leaving now, as I have a solution for you. I made a code at Wikipedia:Style sheets for visually impaired users that overrides the color in all navboxes, solving your problems.
I knew how to do it, as I did such thing for users in a similar situation several times before. I only needed more explanations and research to understand your needs. I hope you will see this message, and continue to edit around here. Cheers, Dodoïste (talk) 21:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
For someone who is retired, you sure edit quite a bit :)
- Yes, this place has exerts a powerful force. Frietjes (talk) 15:23, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Just a note, in this edit you added the page title "Account Suspended" for one of the URLs.... not a very useful title. You might want to have a look at the titles reflinks suggests before saving. --Muhandes (talk) 19:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, I thought I checked them all, but must have missed that one. Frietjes (talk) 15:23, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Violence against women template
Thank you so much for this. I was driving myself crazy trying to work out how to fix it. :) SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 21:58, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Asian Games templates
What's a reason of reverting my edits? and what's a role of ACCESS in it? — Bill william comptonTalk 17:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- The section on Styles and markup options, which I linked to in my edit summary, states that
In general, styles for tables and other block-level elements should be set using CSS classes, not with inline style attributes. The site-wide CSS in MediaWiki:Common.css is more carefully tested to ensure accessibility (e.g. sufficient color contrast) and compatibility with a wide range of browsers. Moreover, it allows for users with very specific needs to change the color schemes in their own style sheet (Special:MyPage/skin.css, or their browser's style sheet). For example, a style sheet at Wikipedia:Style sheets for visually impaired users provides higher contrast backgrounds for navboxes. The problem is that when the default site-wide classes are overridden, it makes it far more difficult for an individual to choose his/her own theme.
It also creates a greater degree of professionalism by ensuring a consistent appearance between articles, and conformance to a style guide.
- Adding these style statements uses "inline style attributes" which override the "CSS classes". Thank you. Frietjes (talk) 18:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Edible mollusk template
Hello Frietjes, I am a bit confused as to whether you are retired or not, so I don't know if it is worth leaving you this message... Anyway, I see you took the image out of this template but you did not leave an edit summary when you did that, so I could not tell why you thought it was a bad idea. I have temporarily put it back in, hope you don't mind. I would rather include an image of cooked clams up the top of the template, but I did not find an attractive one yet. Please do let me know if you think there is a problem with this image. Good wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Response from a TPS ... Checking the his/her activity, I would say he/she is probably not actually retired. I had a look at the template, and moved the image. I imagine the major concern was the non-standard placement, although another concern would be if it is entirely representative. I personally like the way that the images are arranged on Template:Meat, with more than one image, and not too large. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 02:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Stop editing my comments
You've gone around and changed comments I made on various talk pages, e.g. [2].
I draw your attention to Wikipedia:Talk_page#Others' comments. "The basic rule – with some specific exceptions outlined below – is, that you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission."
You DO NOT have my permission. Do not do this again. Barsoomian (talk) 03:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Usern
Hi, I've made your requested changes to the user templates. I feel that perhaps using a meta-template might be the best solution for these templates in the long run. The use of {{toolbar}} is certainly a step in the right direction though. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:19, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I agree. Having a meta-template where one can turn on and off the individual links would be a good idea. My nit was with the variations in the dot styles. Frietjes (talk) 17:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- An amazing coincidence that {{User-multi}} was created 1 day before I made the remark above! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:34, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Can I ask why? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- If you don't add the noinclude, it will show the ombox in the transcluded doc page, after each usage, rather than just once at the top of the page. Frietjes (talk) 19:34, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, how annoying. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
{{Start tab}} edit
Hi,
Regarding this: Unless I'm missing something, the case of initial letters of templates doesn't matter, so I habitually make them lowercase (where sensible) to make for easier searching in case-sensitive editors. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 10:06, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- The initial case of templates does not matter, but the initial case of field names does matter. That's a parameter, not a template. I am assuming you misread the triple { as a double {. Thank you. Frietjes (talk) 14:54, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
substitution
Hi Friet - just to let you know, the substitution of the templates on my course page was intentional. With the way the course pages are currently set up (relying entirely on transclusion) it is not possible to change the tabs that appear on your course page without either editing the main course page template (which is obviously undesirable for individual changes) or substituting the templates as we had done. After noticing your edit, I saw that phaedriel grey's location changed which I am guessing is why you were around, so I did do another set of substitutions to update all the locations. In a similar situation in the future, please just drop me a note on my talk so that I can go through and make any needed changes with AWB instead of reverting my course page back to the initial templated version. Thanks, Kevin (talk) 05:18, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Repairs
Hi Frietjes. I just checked my watchlist for comments people may have made on the GANs I am doing, and I got quite a scare when I saw a big list. Then I noticed they were all by the same person. I'm not sure what the repairs are that you are doing, but if there is a flaw in the GA review template, is it not possible to sort it out on the template itself, rather than disturb people's watchlists? SilkTork ✔Tea time 22:31, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
- I responded here. Thank you. Frietjes (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your explanation. Good luck with fixing the problem! SilkTork ✔Tea time 23:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
