The big yellow "you have new messages" banner was created for a reason. If you want my attention, edit this page. If I want your attention, I will edit your page. If I just want to reply out of politeness, I'll do it here and save interrupting whatever you're doing... if you're interested in what I said, watch this page and find out. If I'm keen to see your response, I will be watching your talk page, or wherever I suspect you might post it. But if you have something to say you think I need to read, the big yellow banner is kind of hard to miss...

Reg. Your deletion of ancestry chart of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Hi! I did not understand your rationale of undoing my contribution of the ancestry chart. The summary of this chart is already given in the preceding section titled "Ancestry" and you did not deign to remove it. My chart is based on research by others such as William Addams Reitwiesner and the data is available on the net. Removing an item without proper justification and only on the basis of not believing it amounts to vandalism, as I see it. You being an administrator should be more cautious and your behaviour should be exemplary. Regards. Hrishikes (talk) 10:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I did not remove it because I disbelieve it, I have reasonable respect for the sources you used and have no reason to doubt the lineage. I removed it because it is utterly irrelevant to the article. She is, indubitably, related similarly distantly to a variety of famous figures, contemporary and historical, and none of those connections are even the slightest bit notable, save perhaps the relationship to William himself on the basis of the extremely faint level of incest. Distant lineages and relationships are interesting, undoubtedly. They are not encyclopedic. Happy‑melon 11:28, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

call a template once every 612 hours

Hello Mr happy melon! I hope you have a free time to help me find a solution, I created a template w:ar:template:Minmaxskipgen , which will generate a random number based on seconds of time function ("{{#time:U}}"), I need a method/function to call the minmaskipgen template, to substitute the generated value, once every 12 hours; like ("{{#ifexpr:{{#expr:{{#time:hi}} = 0101}} |<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly>{{minmaxskipgen|max=180}}}}|otherwise the value remain unchanged}}"), the problem is that the generated value will not keep the value for a duration of 612 hours, instead it will generate a new value every time the template is being called, regards.--Antime •(Talk) 04:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Antime. I'm afraid I don't entirely understand what you're trying to achieve here. Do you want the output of your template to change every six hours, and stay the same within each six-hour block? Happy‑melon 09:48, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response, yes that what I want to achieve, I need the output to change once every 12/or 6 hours, regards--Antime •(Talk) 18:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Then what you really want to do is something like {{#expr: floor( {{#time:U}} / 21600 ) }}, which gives the number of 6-hour blocks that have passed since 1 Jan 1970 (you could subtract an offset if you wanted to neaten things up). Then just alter your output based on what number you get out. Or {{#expr: floor( {{#time:U}} / 21600 ) * 21600 }} would give you the unix timestamp which increments in six-hour blocks. Whichever works better for you. Happy‑melon 22:40, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help, I will give it a try and let you know if all goes well. --Antime •(Talk) 22:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

 Done Well, your solution works great, you are a genius mathematician, thanks again --Antime •(Talk) 16:32, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
