Source of edit
[edit]Hi. I noticed that you reverted one of my edits. The video promotion and its website prove its abbreviation/acronym and it is how citizens there refer to it. Can I have my edit restored please?41.62.55.98 (talk) 07:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- For future reference, please give the name of the article concerned and give a response to the edit summary that gave the reason for the reversion. I should not have had to search out that info and won't do so again. Other editors likely would not. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 08:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- I should have known better. Sorry for disturbing you.41.62.55.98 (talk) 08:58, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Regarding our 'Hazard Symbols' discussion
[edit]@JMF: Realistically, there isn't a lot of traffic on the Talk:Hazard symbol page, so we'll be waiting a while for other editors to weigh in, so I'm going to see if we can get a third opinion via the Wikipedia:Third opinion system. I'll put the request in later (like ~9 hours from, around 01:00 16 June UTC, after I get home from work and eat dinner), so you have some time to respond to the reply that I made today, before anyone would look at it.
It's non-binding, basically another editor just looks at what we've discussed and give feedback when there's a two person stalemate. I don't think either of us are moving from our positions, and I don't have anything further to say that won't turn into a circular argument on the issue, so I'm fine with saying that we've stalemated.
I'll leave another message here when I've made the request, so you're aware it has been made.-- The Navigators (talk) 16:07, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- I just put in the request in the Wikipedia:Third opinion system.-- The Navigators (talk) 01:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Your edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ordinal_indicator&oldid=1229353797 taught me something. Somehow I'd never come across that template before in my 20+ years of editing here.
Not entirely incidentally, I see above evidence of some difficulties that came from giving less credence to IP editors. I think Wikipedia would be a better place if all editors and most admins could not tell who made each edit, forcing edits to stand on their own merits. So I edit only as an IP as a matter of policy.
And entirely incidentally, I used to use FIELDATA on a Univac 1106. :-) 24.10.15.212 (talk) 06:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- The html code is certainly valid but my immediate reaction was "there must be a template for that", as raw html is a bit, well, raw. It was a new one to me too. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 07:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Roade Bypass.
[edit]- Hello JMF, I hope that you are well.
- I was just wondering if you knew approximately when the Roade Bypass opened; I am currently working on the History section of the 'A508 road' page, but I can't find any good/reliable sources. If you don't know, then no worries.
- Kind regards, Roads4117 (talk) 06:26, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- No idea. Roade Parish Council site? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 07:50, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok no worries. I will check that website out now. Roads4117 (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
