A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Good Humor
	For the classic line: "End the tryanny inflicted on the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya! Liberate the French Republic! Stop the oppression of the United Mexican States! Won't someone please think of the State of the City of the Vatican?!" That po-faced debate seriously needed lightening up. Keep up the good work. JonC 21:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Fake revert

Please desist from making fake reverts, as you did at Karen Bradley. It is fine to re-add the material with refs, what is not fine is to pretend that you were reverting when actually you were adding sources. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 18:10, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure I follow. I hit 'undo' and added references in that edit. Is there something wrong with that? I didn't pretend or 'fake' anything. Bastun 18:34, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes because it appears you reverted when actually you didn't. It's unhelpful for other editors. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 11:23, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Funny ref names

FYI, I asked at the Village Pump about those funny <ref name=":0"> things. The discussion is here. The bottom line is that we're stuck with them, for a whole lot of complicated reasons. Scolaire (talk) 09:23, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Computers, eh? More trouble than they're worth! ;-) Cheers, Bastun 09:42, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Terence Flanagan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Woods (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:06, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

British cats?

You should probably remove this cat's nationality too. It's one of Larry's "colleagues"... https://en.wikipedia.org/Palmerston_(cat)

All your base are belong to us. Hahaha. Nice.

Edit warring: Siobhan Fahey

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 94.6.78.201 (talk) 15:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

An anon IP issuing templated warnings? Why don't you log in, there, and use the one account... Bastun 20:38, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Category:Irish Romanists

Hello, Bastun,

You tagged this empty category for deletion on CSD C1 grounds. However, it is also a category redirect and so it is not eligible for speedy deletion even though it is empty. Thank you. Liz 03:58, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Good Omens

Thanks for the request for page protection on Good Omens. I suspected that IP was evading a block, but didn’t have much to go by. Hopefully he/she will settle done now. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 22:04, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Do look up what a dynamic IP is while you're at it. I'll be back next week for the cast updates. Cheers. 115.64.238.117 (talk) 02:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
