Thanks! It does its best... -- John of Reading (talk) 19:32, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Edits[edit]

Your edits appeared to have messed up some pages, such as Portal:Toronto -- which now has a long column about one word wide starting after a few paragraphs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.233.87 (talk) 07:10, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, that formatting damage was caused by yesterday's edit to Template:Box-footer. The edit has been undone, but it may take the servers a while to rebuild all the affected portals. I've fixed Portal:Toronto with a purge, forcing the software to rebuild the page. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:31, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notable alumni[edit]

Please add Khamal Rashieq Patterson Esquire class of 2005 to notable alumni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.99.159 (talk) 02:09, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple of problems with this request. One is that you haven't mentioned which school or college the person belonged to. The other is that, at Wikipedia, all information should be verifiable so that readers can check it; see WP:ALUMNI for more. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:05, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop[edit]

I'll stop this bot. BERTD427 (talk) 10:49, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BERTD427: Hardly necessary, as I've not used my bot account for over two years. -- John of Reading (talk) 11:15, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
