The first range was already blocked before I got there. The other one is more doubtful; there's quite a bit of vandalism, but probably more constructive editing, so a block isn't justifiable. I'm afraid it has to be just a case of reverting vandalism when it happens. JBW (talk) 22:05, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Skywatcher68: Yes. For the last 17 years. I found out many years ago that it's out of the question to block for that long though, so I have compromised. JBW (talk) 21:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IP to keep an eye on

Hi, JB. 137.27.62.222 evidently is a sockpuppet for 107.77.241.59; now that the latter has been rangeblocked, the former might start editing again. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion of all examples in Command pattern

Hi JBW, I don't understand the deletion of all examples for the design pattern Command (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_pattern). I think it's a great help to understand those concepts. All others design patterns have a lot of examples of codes too. So maybe you should remove all code examples of all design patterns? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicoweb01 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nicoweb01: My intention actually was to restore the article to an earlier state where an example was given in one language, as having an example in one language illustrates the concepts involved in command pattern, but adding versions in dozens of languages only provides illustrations of how those languages differ in their handling of the same concepts, which is not the topic of the article. Also having strings of examples of coding in different languages is not in line with Wikipedia's purpose; there are many other web sites which do provide that purpose. At the time I made the change, it was inconvenient for me to do the thorough checking required to do the job properly, so I made what I now see as a mistaken decision to remove the lot temporarily, and restore what was relevant when I did have a chance to do it properly. I apologise for that mistake, and I have now restored the section of the article to the state in which it previously had been.

As for what you say about "all others design patterns", if they do have similar lists of examples in numerous languages then it is very likely that they too should be pruned down, but if course I can't tell without seeing the particular articles you have in mind. CAn you direct me to some of them, so that I can review them? JBW (talk) 20:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
