Item #4 of ] says '' "Warnings should be clear and unambiguous, link to the decision authorising the sanctions, identify misconduct and advise how the editor may mend their ways".'' So exactly what misconduct did I allegedly engaged in? The purpose here seems to be to bring shame to my reputation.- ]] 12:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

:I don't know why you were given the warning, or whether it was merited or not. However it is factual that you were warned and so you are now formally aware that discretionary sanctions apply in that topic area. It is correct that this awareness is formally recorded in the appropriate place.
:If you have not and do not engage in any improper conduct in the topic area then the fact that you have been warned is completely irrelevant. ] (]) 12:53, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The Redirect Barnstaris hereby awarded to Thryduulf for all the work put into contributing at Redirects for Discussion and maintaining the navigational parts of the project. Quiet background work that very few see, yet it has a great effect on the projects readers! Thanks for your work in the area, Taelus (talk) 23:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for helping me with an article (I'm a beginner.) I have no idea what I'm doing but you helped to keep my article up after it was deleted. You also checked back up on it when the references were deleted, I just checked and saw you even helped me on listing them too, I wasn't sure how to do that either. Anyway, thank you. :] Ohthegunsofbrixton (talk) 18:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
For exhibiting rational judgement on a certain list which caused considerable overreaction and worse case scenario concerns. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld19:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
The Redirect BarnstarThanks for your (re)-explanation of why it was pointing where it was and why it should point to where it's now pointing Tonywalton00:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
For your unfailing patience and kindness dealing with VisualEditor related problems and the users struggling with them :). (also for the fantastic car analogy). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
I appreciate I already gave you a barnstar for it, but I've just looked at the feedback page for the first time since stepping off my flight, and wow: you deserve another one :). Thanks for all you've done for the VE project thus far. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:59, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
For sterling work above and beyond the call of duty at WP:VE/F. You're always there, logging defects, updating replies and always with politeness and calm. NtheP (talk) 09:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
You put absolutely hours of work into and I am so so grateful! Really looking forward to finding out what worked and what didn't and making the results useful to the chapter! Thank you so much! Katherine Bavage (WMUK) (talk) 12:14, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Arbitration Committee cases are inherently complicated matters. That your analysis of the case resulted in a suggestion widely accepted by participants and arbitrators alike, demonstrates it to be a brilliant idea. Congratulations! MarshalN20 | 14:51, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Y'know what... ...Here's a barnstar. Consider this a token of my appreciation, on behalf of the project as a whole, for your contributions to this RfC, and for summarising a horribly complicated discussion into something that people could understand (and which slightly lessened my headache in closing it!). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much for all your hard work on Misplaced Pages Takes UCL last week. It was an event from which we've taken many lessons and I believe that a good number of people had a very positive experience from it thanks to you and the team you managed to coordinate. Here's to the next one! ToniSant (talk) 08:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
The Real Life Barnstar
Chris, I'm indebted to you for your help at the Marjon event. Gil asked me to pass on her thanks in particular for your "excellent and clear explanations of the technical aspects of copyright". Next time I'm looking for helpers for an event, you'll be top of my list. Thanks again, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:21, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
I've got to say, I've seen your comments about the place and you seem one of the more "rational observers" (if you'll pardon the pun) on the site. I think you have a good head on your shoulders. I wish others were like you! ♦ Dr. Blofeld19:22, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
The Redirect Barnstar Your diligent work in the area of redirect categorization and improvement is duly recognized and greatly appreciated. You are truly one of the unsung heroes of Misplaced Pages, and we hope you continue to enjoy your improvement of this awesome encyclopedia! For your well-thought, detailed, and infuriatingly reasonable close here. Well done once again.Ivanvector (/Edits) 13:32, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
For your hard work in the effort to get Robbie Coltrane to RD quality when it appeared doomed to not be included on quality grounds from the start; I award you this barnstar of citations! You recognized how important it was to get Hagrid onto RD owing to the emotional response of people to the beloved actor’s death (even the oppose votes were visibly upset and reluctant about their vote), so you worked hard to make it happen to the glee of the fellow Wikipedians. Well Done! :) DrewieStewie (talk) 11:50, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
The Minor Barnstar
Hello! While it may be small in the grand scheme of things, I wanted to thank you for drafting the disambiguation page at National and University Library. When I was looking into the title before the RfD, I saw a lot of different possibilities for targets and wasn't sure how to go about compiling them all into one place. It looked quite daunting to me, and to that end, thank you for initiating the first draft of it! (As well as the rest of your assistance at RfD, it is greatly appreciated.)

Thank you :). I put out lots of ideas, so sooner or later one will turn out to be a good one. It's nice when that's acknowledged though. Thryduulf (talk) 15:53, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
VisualEditor's toolbar has a new drop-down menu that contains all character formatting: bold, italics, subscript, superscript, strikethrough, computer code, underline, and the ability to remove all formatting from text.
For more information about how to use VisualEditor, read the user guide.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some toolbar improvements, fixing bugs, and improving support for Indic languages as well as other languages with complex characters. The current focus is on improving the reference dialog and expanding the new character inserter tool.
There have been dozens of changes since the last newsletter. Here are some of the highlights:
Rich copying and pasting is now available. If you copy text from another website, then character formatting and some other HTML attributes are preserved. This means, for example, that if you copy a pre-formatted suggested citation from a source like this, then VisualEditor will preserve the formatting of the title in the citation. Keep in mind that copying the formatting may include formatting that you don't want (like section headings). If you want to paste plain, unformatted text onto a page, then use Control+⇧ Shift+V or ⌘ Command+⇧ Shift+V (Mac).
Auto-numbered external links like can now be edited just like any other link. However, they cannot be created in VisualEditor easily.
Several changes to the toolbar and dialogs have been made, and more are on the way. The toolbar has been simplified with a new drop-down text styles menu and an "insert" menu. Your feedback on the toolbar is wanted here. The transclusion/template dialog has been simplified. If you have enabled mathematical formula editing, then the menu item is now called the formula editor instead of LaTeX.
There is a new character inserter, which you can find in the new "insert" menu, with a capital Omega ("Ω"). It's a very basic set of characters. Your feedback on the character inserter is wanted here.
Saving the page should seem faster by several seconds now.
It is now possible to access VisualEditor by manually editing the URL, even if you are not logged in or have not opted in to VisualEditor normally. To do so, append ?veaction=edit to the end of the page name. For example, change https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Random to https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Random?veaction=edit to open a random page in VisualEditor. This is intended to support bug testing across multiple browsers, without requiring editors to login repeatedly.
Looking ahead: The transclusion dialog will see further changes in the coming weeks, with a simple mode for single templates and an advanced mode for more complex transclusions. The new character formatting menu on the toolbar will get an arrow to show that it is a drop-down menu. The reference dialog will be improved, and the Reference item will become a button in the main toolbar, rather than an item in the Insert menu.
I just wondered, did you read my note on the talk page of the article before sending me that message? Op47 (talk) 16:14, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
No, because I viewed the talk page before you wrote that note and didn't check it again between declining the speedy deletion and leaving you the note. Sorry. Thryduulf (talk) 16:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
As it's in your area, I was wondering if you might get a chance to photograph Woolwich Fire Station? I've started the article, and more importantly it is mentioned in my DYK nom for Robert Pearsall. It is London's oldest operational fire station and it's due to close at the end of the month, so might be the last chance to see it still in use. And a happy new year to you!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ottoman (furniture), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sofa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Silicon Valley. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Do feel free to report me if you wish, but you'll note that you are the one reverting without discussion. As I've noted the text of the hatnote is not set in stone. I don't have a point of view about where Silicone Valley should redirect - if I did I would have commented in the discussion and not closed it. My only concern, as expressed in edit summaries and on the talk page, is that users searching for the topic the redirect does not point to need to be able to find the other article. The way this is done on Misplaced Pages is by having a hatnote at the redirect target. Thryduulf (talk) 18:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Why did you re-add me to Log of blocks, bans, and restriction for an ARBCOM case?
You restored Roccodrift's improper addition of my name to an ARBCOM blocks, bans, and restrictionshere. Why have I been singled out for this waring?
Item #4 of WP:AC/DS says "Warnings should be clear and unambiguous, link to the decision authorising the sanctions, identify misconduct and advise how the editor may mend their ways". So exactly what misconduct did I allegedly engaged in? The purpose here seems to be to bring shame to my reputation.- MrX12:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't know why you were given the warning, or whether it was merited or not. However it is factual that you were warned and so you are now formally aware that discretionary sanctions apply in that topic area. It is correct that this awareness is formally recorded in the appropriate place.
If you have not and do not engage in any improper conduct in the topic area then the fact that you have been warned is completely irrelevant. Thryduulf (talk) 12:53, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
