format of your user page

Hello Iazyges and thanks for the comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Crusades/archive2. :-)

On your user page, the Byzantine Military History group seems interesting; I might join if I have time. On my screen/resolution/browser at least, however, that bit of text physically overlaps one of your userboxes. I can try to make a screen capture if you like, but this problem is easily resolved by adding {{-}} (just a hyphen between two pairs of curly braces). That clear a line of text. Cheers and thanks again  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 02:48, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Lingzhi You can join even if your inactive, we dont really have room to be picky and i must say you have a very cool user page. Iazyges (talk) 03:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I joined. And tks for the kind words about my upage.  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 03:52, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Regarding this edit, I live in Asia; we're a day ahead. :-)  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 09:02, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Lingzhi What part? I lived in malaysia for 6 years and singapore for 2. Iazyges (talk) 14:30, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Gan Bei!  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 00:31, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the patience.

Hi, I am one of the participants in the odd Cham Albanian NOR case which you have recently mediated, and I just wanted to thank you for your patience towards me, because my nerves with this never-ending NOR dispute, I admit, they have broke for good... We have been debating this NOR dispute on THREE separate pages, and you can imagine how this, for some users, can unfortunately be too much . I just passed by here to thank you and assure you that this is not your fault nor you have something to do with it. Just I really want to exit this counter-productive situation of a never-ending nonsense dispute and focuse on other but more practical things. Have a good day, and again thank you for your patience. -- SILENTRESIDENT 14:18, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Closure on Cham Albanians

Thank you for taking over the case. You marked the case closed, but didn't provide a close summary and didn't archive (box) the case. Since you are a new volunteer, I understand that is a nitty-gritty detail. If you want to write a summary of what you think the resolution is, I will be glad to handle the detail of boxing the case with a closure summary. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Robert McClenon, thanks a lot for helping me. Summary: "The provided sentences were found to not be OR." Is that good or should it be longer? Iazyges (talk) 18:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Question on Rollbacking multiple edits

Hello once again. This is my second comment in your talk page (and pardon me I did not intend to flood your talkpage with that many messages lol). The reason of this message is just to ask something I have noticed often, in the History logs of various articles: a feature called "Rollback" I have been a Wiki user for so many years, and yet, I haven't figured how to do that Rollback feature (aka, revert multiple minor edits at once). Can you spare just a mere a minute of your time and let me know how to do rollback and how to access this function? Well, I am not exactly sure if special privileges (such as Administrator or Moderator privileges) are needed for Rollbacking? Or is it accessible to regular users such has me? In fact, rollback could be handy tool because, in the past, I have had stumbled upon various anonymous IP users who often showed up and vandalized various politically sensitive articles such as the Balkans and Middle East, but their edits were spread across multiple history log entries rather than one single edit with a single history log entry. And thus, reverting all these many edits, one-by-one, by clicking on the revert button multiple times, can be tedious and I was wondering if there is any way to revert multiple edits with just a click? My apologies if asking you about Rollbacking is inappropriate or something, just I have no clue about it at all. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks. -- SILENTRESIDENT 08:24, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Nevermind, my question is now obsolete and can be ignored - rollback info found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rollback . Thank you for your time and understanding and have a good day (And feel free to remove my messages from your talk page if you like) -- SILENTRESIDENT 08:42, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Ping

To alert others the usage is {{ping|Example}} not [[ping|Example]]. Using [[User:Example]] will also alert the user, but doesn't add a @ in front of the users name as {{Ping}} does, which is mainly used when responding to someone in a discussion. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:22, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Don't remove OR template until issue(s) have been settled

Please don't remove templates like you did here until issues have been resolved. You have no special authority as a [novice] DRN volunteer, even though you seem to be under the impression that your "instructions" with regards to the content dispute can be enforced by administrators. DevilWearsBrioni (talk) 12:57, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

@DevilWearsBrioni:They can, as per WP:M I have given you the link to it three times. Iazyges (talk) 13:29, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

@DevilWearsBrioni: Here's a direct quotation: Any administrator[4] may upon request by a mediator, and after a single warning by either the mediator or the administrator, block, ban, or otherwise sanction a participant who continues to participate in mediation in a manner which violates the rules established by the mediator or the editing rights granted to the mediator.[5]

The user DevilWearsBrioni does not respect, nor adhere to the Wikipedia's norms and rules and he should be blocked by the Admins from further editing, especially on the article Expulsion of Cham Albanians. His disruptive behavior has already upsetted several users and caused quite a stirr with his methods of dealing with other users, and this cannot keep going on like that forever. Enough is enough! -- SILENTRESIDENT 14:14, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

The user Iazyges has acted perfectly in accordance with Wikipedia's established procedures, and his action reflect the decisions made and consensus reached thus far. The user DevilWearsBrioni has repeatedly expressed his decission to not respect this through his actions on the Expulsion of Cham Albanians and his comments on the Noticeboard's talkpage and keep up with his disruptive way. I lack the necessary experience and knowledge for reporting a disruptive user to the Administrators, (in fact, I have not reported any users to admins for reasons other than 3RR violations on a Bankans-related page, a month ago) and thus, I can not be the one who reports DevilWearsBrioni to them. -- SILENTRESIDENT 14:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Eritrea

Have you taken over as moderator for Eritrea, or is the Platypus of Doom still moderating? (Someone needs to deal with the allegation of sockpuppetry.) Robert McClenon (talk) 17:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Robert McClenon (talk · contribs) I have not, I am on only as a helper. If he doesn't respond to it within a few hours I'll do it. Iazyges (talk) 17:33, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

The arbitration committee is not a next stop after WP:DRN. The arbitration commit.tee is the last stop for conduct disputes, and DRN is a content dispute resolution forum. Content disputes that are too complicated to be resolved at DRN can be taken to the mediation committee, which is a more formal mediation than the informal mediation at DRN. The last step for content disputes, and a common stop after DRN, is a Request for Comments, which is binding. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

August 2016

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Napoleonaea vogelii. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!! Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:53, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Quantico

I removed your comment as not directly relevant, but will address it here. I know that the filing party was Chriswillclark. There were also IP edits, almost certainly by the same person. Some were before they created the account, and some were probably by forgetting to log in. I am waiting for 24 hours for the two editors to discuss.
