Megatokyo, Chicken's aren't supposed to moo, I caused problems, you caused some too.

Eeek. It would seem I have misguidedly moved Megatokyo characters, thinking that the article was at MegaTokyo (when it is actually at Megatokyo! My mistake. Very big mistake on my part. Should have seen the little redirect message. Big blunder on my part. Very big blunder.

That being said (yes, half of this mess is my problem), I would like to inform you about how to properly revert a page move. You do not cut and paste content to a page.

By doing this, you have effectively destroyed the Page History of Megatokyo characters. See here: [1] There's a reason why there is a page move function. See here for an indepth explanation of how MediaWiki manages moves: [2] You can, in fact, move a page back, when the page history of the redirect is only including the actual creation of the redirect.

Just notifying you. There's not much we can do now (Because the redirect now has a history besides the original creation, we cannot move the article back. This means we need to get an admin to clean things up). Hopefully, we both learned our lesson! ;-) Cheers Ambush Commander 19:55, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

But are we capital-S Sure that it is right with the lowercase-t? On the website it is all-lowercase, usually... I'll try and discover it. --Lapo Luchini 14:49, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, we pretty much are. That's how it's consistently used on the Wikipedia. That's how Fred spells it, see here for lots of examples. It's also how Dark Horse spells it. Rodney Caston's preferred spelling seems to be MegaTokyo, though. --SKopp 15:44, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Megatokyo opening paragraph

I never know if it's better to reply in-place or on the other user's homepage. In place creates a much more readable thread, here gives more visibility and the "you got message" automatic message.. well.. I replied there, and put this notice here =P

POV problem

Your edits to the Wehrmacht article are not acceptable. I don't know if gross violations of the NPOV policy are usual practice at the German Wikipedia, but we don't accept such POV language here at the English one. If you cannot accept this, you should leave our English Wikipedia alone. -- 83

Photos of sculptures

Hi SKopp. I noticed your comment on WP:IFD. I'd appreciate if you would comment at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests#Image:Jason II (Joseph Beuys).jpg. A photograph of a sculpture, Commons:Image:Jason II (Joseph Beuys).jpg, has been nominated for deletion with the reasoning that "While the photography may be in the PD, the work of art is certainly not". Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 18:10, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Linux kernel

I saw your comment when you removed my edit "Useless remark. Substantiate or don't mention it." I've put my text back in, but this time with a reference - which I agree is needed. I find your tone quite aggressive and unhelpful, even though I do understand where you're coming from. Let's make this article better. --Widefox 19:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Low German

Just because the definition as a separate language isn't accepted by you, doesn't mean it's not "universally accepted". Any linguist will tell you that it is indeed considered a separate language. If you have any references suggesting otherwise, feel free to share them with the rest of us in the discussion or by including a reference in the article so we can check for ourselves. --dllu 19:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Sieve of Eratosthenes

An image uploaded by you has been promoted to featured picture status

Your image, File:Sieve of Eratosthenes animation.gif, was nominated on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, gained a consensus of support, and has been promoted. If you would like to nominate an image, please do so at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Thank you for your contribution! MER-C 04:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder how you achieved to suppress the animation in the thumbnail image in the Prime number article. In comparison, e.g. in the Optical illusion article, a thumbnail image is animated if its corresponding full-resolution image is. However, inspecting the articles' and the image pages' source, I couldn't find the difference. Would you tell me your trick? Many thanks in advance. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 19:05, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gugelhupf, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cocoa (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.

Hello SKopp.

I was requesting that I could have a little help with my micronation flag. I want the triangles to be completely shown, similar to that of country flags.

A bowl of strawberries for you!

I just wanted to say that your food photography is immaculate! Thank you for your work, your photographs are beautiful.

Your photo of the blancmange on a glass dish is what originally caught my eye. Absolutely stunning! TheKitKatDragon (talk) 18:22, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheKitKatDragon Great to hear that you like them! SKopp (talk) 20:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
