[edit] Talk of the Tardis

Also, thankyou for answering my question on the reference desk. Alphax τεχ 03:04, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Of course. Tardis 01:21, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reference desk

You were right; a big part of the OP's question was in fact answered at Lysosome (I should have read more closely). Apologies for sounding short in my initial reply to you. Best, David Iberri (talk) 23:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

No apology required; obviously one of us was simply misreading. I'm still glad for the denaturation commentary you added; it's always important to know the why as well as the how. --Tardis 21:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] RDs

Thank you Tardis for supporting my linking answer to whoever it was! 8-) --Light current 00:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Of course. I didn't realize at first that they hadn't just linked it themselves, perhaps pointing out that the page didn't have it. But then I was looking at the history to chide them properly; if they didn't even do that much, I was glad to, um, nudge in the correct direction. Thank you for providing all the real help yourself. --Tardis 00:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RefDeskBot

Hi - thans forreporting that to me! It's the first I've heard of it happenning so far, and I guess that your hypothesis of it being an edit conflict is correct - the only confusing thing is that my code throws an exception when an edit conflict occurs, so perhaps there was a mediawiki error - if your edit and the bot edit went through at the same time, your text may have been lost. At the moment, from when it fetches the page, the bot has about 10 -15 seconds of holding it before saving it - so that's time that an edit conflict could occur. This is because I load the page, then save the daily archive, then save the main page. I'm going to change that order now to reduce the time, though for about 5 seconds (!) there'll be a bit of missing text on the main desk - nothing major. Hopefully this works - but I'm still confused - if there was an edit conflict, I should have got an error, because the server would still give me the same key. Ah well! Again, thanks Martinp23 10:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Optical disc writing request

Hi, and thanks for the challenge – I'll try to improve them if I can, once I familiarize myself with the subject more. There is already a quite thorough article on CD-R, though. Maybe I could add some similar information to the DVD-R article. Thanks anyway! Happy editings and ♥, –Mysid☎ 17:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  :)

Nice username. Are you member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who already? I think, based on your username, that you might be interested in that. - Mgm|(talk) 20:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The name is actually something of an accident, long ago, and refers more to time travel itself than to Doctor Who particularly. I surely have nothing to contribute to that project currently, although one day I might know more. --Tardis 23:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reachable points

Thanks a ton, Tardis, for your help on my question. I'll try to take it from here, and let you know if I succeed in finding a complete solution. Cheers! deeptrivia (talk) 16:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal Warning

Hi. Just to comment on this edit of yours, there's no need to warn a vandal more than 2 weeks after their misdoings. Warnings that are issued even a few hours after the vandalism has occurred do not prove any useful and might even confuse recent changes patrollers. Regards, --Húsönd 03:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I warned because I just repaired the vandalism now (unfortunate that it survived so long!), and thought the warning, being made as soon as was possible as it was, would be better late than never. Is there more of an established process for warning (and blocking, etc.) than I perceive? --Tardis 04:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coins problem at RD/S

Hi Tardis. Thanks for calling my attention to your solution. I replied on my own talk page. --mglg(talk) 23:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Now more on my page. --mglg(talk) 01:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on this question. I just found your response and added further comments. Aepryus 02:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Question on my talk page. --mglg(talk) 03:41, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Modified code on my talk page. --mglg(talk) 20:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks! I had actually figured it out by the time I taught it (frantically the morning of). But yes, you're right, and I put a little more at the RD. moink (talk) 20:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
