[edit] Dates

Yes, you are right. SB is very conservative about making changes, especially to date linkage. Thanks for answering the other query. Rich Farmbrough, 15:08 26 October 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Godzilla question

As you were one of the last few people who edited the Godzilla article, I am hoping that you might know something about the series. Could you please go here to see my question on that article's talk page and give your opinion? Thanks. - LA @ 19:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. Although I have seen some of the films—and I love them—I'm far from being an expert. My edit was one of a large number where I changed the name of the band Blue O/Öyster Cult from "O" to "Ö" in various Wikipedia articles (which is easy with the german keyboard I'm using.) Thus, my Godzilla (series) edit is actually not much related to the monster. --Cyfal (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nagasaki, Nagasaki

Hi! Please see the order of the languages on the Main Page. Japanese is 日本語/Nihongo. So it is listed after Nederlands. I know that the two-letter language abbreviations is also acceptable. But I edit per the Main Page. Oda Mari (talk) 06:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me/sumimasen! You are right, it is better to keep the same order of interlanguage links in Nagasaki, Nagasaki and in the Main page. But this good idea did not come to my mind when I made my edit... I updated these links because I found Nagasaki on the page here on this page so I tried to update both the French and the English Wikipedia article with identical links. Therefore, I entered in both Wikipedias the interlanguage links in the same order. However, only on the French mainpage, 日本語 is placed before the netherlands. Thank you for correcting me. I will now modify the order in Nagasaki, Nagasaki somewhat further, because I noticed, that also other interlanguage links are not in the correct order, e.g., simple english is on top in the Main Page, but currently not on top in Nagasaki, Nagasaki. Thank you --Cyfal (talk) 17:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just a shout

I'm finally here. Let's see if this weekend will bring one or two new articles... --HexaChord (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! --Cyfal (talk) 19:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] East End of London

Your vandalism revert has truncated the article - please have a look! Pterre (talk) 21:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your notice! I must admit I have no idea what happened – maybe I had accidentally closed a tab in my browser when the reversion was still in progress? I have recreated the correct version now[1]. I will now check my edits of today to check whether this was the only case. --Cyfal (talk) 21:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
No, the others are ok... I will watch this somewhat in future. --Cyfal (talk) 21:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Cyfal! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

--Zeitgespenst (talk) 05:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I will take a look at these pages regularly in future, seems interesting. --Cyfal (talk) 08:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

Thanks! I must have missed that. I seem to have misspelled it during a Google search. Good job. :) Jmlk17 21:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem – I was just trying to formulate a message for your talk page to draw your attention to my modification, but you were quicker ;-) With all those vandalism, it's easy to overlock one of the modifications that are only wrong layout but factually correct... --Cyfal (talk) 21:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Interwiki sort order

I'm using AWB, so if it is wrong it is a bug in the code. BJTalk 02:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Confusing I don't actually know why that happened when editing with AWB. I personally put them in order by the two-letter abbreviation, but AWB does not - they use some other order that I've never understood and may in fact be the order on that Meta page. Since you acknowledged that both sortings are acceptable, why did you revert? Anyway… -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯
Yes, reverting was not necessary, but I think the other order is somewhat nicer because the languagues then are then ordered alphabetically for the reader of the page, not for the editor. (I got into this task by the Nagasaki, Nagasaki diskussion here on my talk page, the previous contribution of Bjweeks was the answer to this.) Thanks for answering --Cyfal (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re

Thanks for fixing the little typo on my userpage, and no problem about the accidental revert on Boxing. I've done that on numerous occasions myself :) FusionMix 21:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Melville

Thank you - your revisions give a more balanced and agreeable section of text. Contaldo80 (talk) 09:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

How do I undo multiple edits by one person? Joedaddy09 (talk) 07:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I have installed the script Twinkle for my User Cyfal, so this gives me some more "buttons" to do such things easyly.
However, without such tools it's also possible: simply go to the revision history, then click to the date of the last unvandalised version. Then this version is displayed, then click on "edit this page" and save it without any changes.
