Hello Andy. When tagging infoboxes with the {{tls|tfd}} template, can I please urge you to use the {{para|type|sidebar}} parameter? This will ensure the TFD banner appears above the infobox in articles, rather than across the entire page (which is very confusing to readers). Thanks. 10:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk to me, Andy Mabbett

  • If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
  • If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
  • If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
  • If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "+" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
  • Please do not make links from within section headings.
  • Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags", etc.) will be removed from this page on sight.
  • Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.

ANI re your DR

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaijin42 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

QSMM and ICE

QSMM:As you see I have knocked of Piece-rate lists, and this opens a potential series of articles relating to unionism, early Labour history. Enjoy. We still have the outstanding issue of copyright in LCC museums- any developments? I am waiting to upload some Helmshore material still. Looking at the Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen Street Mill Museum/event it would be very helpful to me to have a report on what happened. (Zero short term memory). Particularly the names of the attendees and their emails. There were items that came up in discussion that should be noted- particularly the concerns of new editors- even a photo of the event. Could this be thought about? ICE:I can come along and assist if that is helpful, either with new editors or with a camera but I don't fancy coming along cold with out a briefing of what we are attempting to achieve. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 11:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get back to you once the issue below is resolved. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No urgency- I have sent you Harle Syke Mill as a get well soon present. I was thinking that LCC could use this article to contact the Briercliffe Society to show them what we are doing. In particular it would be nice to have Roger Frost on board- and negotiate with him whether he would like to donate his collection of pre-1923 postcards to commons. I will be leaving for France about 22 August and will have limited Internet access until September. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 15:27, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eye

Unfortunately, I have a second detachment of my retina, requiring emergency surgery tomorrow. After that, I shall probably be unable to edit Wikipedia for one or two weeks. I shall be reading email, on my phone. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Best wishes for good care, Andy, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:16, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck with that, and best wishes. De728631 (talk) 16:36, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Say if there is anything we can do to help -- Clem Rutter (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck, man! oknazevad (talk) 04:21, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck with that Andy. We'll miss you here. Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Only just spotted this. Best wishes from me, too. Tim riley (talk) 21:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again to everyone who expressed kind wishes. My surgery went well and the eye is recovering slowly, as expected. I still have a gas bubble, which will last for about two months. I shall then have another operation. I am no longer required to lie prone, so can use my laptop again, albeit with one eye. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:37, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eeks, I wish you a speedy recovery Andy.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 08:56, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Portrait of Kitty redux

Andy, I hope you're recovering well. Whenever you're able—no rush; take it easy and don't overdo—please stop by and answer Froggerlaura's question (or take care of the McGregor/quote attribute issue she raised). Once that's done, the nomination should be ready for approval. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In a later development, Froggerlaura makes a troubling find. I am far from certain this will be approved now, and would appreciate your engagement on the page when it is feasible. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

template:Ga.legis

may need some microformats since it's not using {{infobox legislature}}. Frietjes (talk) 16:28, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll await the TfD outcome (and will comment there shortly). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:41, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
okay. I will watch for your comments there. reading the code for that template is a step back in time before infobox. Frietjes (talk) 14:20, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #66

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Template merge

Regarding your proposal to merge Template:Infobox royalty with Template:Infobox monarch, you do realise that most royalty (e.g. members of a royal family) aren't monarchs? AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The former template is also used for Monarchs. We don't need two. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly, but that doesn't alter the fact that e.g. Prince Charles is Royalty, but he isn't a Monarch. I see you have revised your proposal, and will comment there. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RFAR

your name was listed at WP:RFAR (here). I'm not sure who listed it, but just letting you know. — Ched :  ?  13:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TFD template for infoboxes

Hello Andy. When tagging infoboxes with the {{subst:tfd}} template, can I please urge you to use the |type=sidebar parameter? This will ensure the TFD banner appears above the infobox in articles, rather than across the entire page (which is very confusing to readers). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by This, that and the other (talk • contribs) 10:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I use Twinkle; suggest you ask for that to be included in its logic. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:35, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
