OTRS ticket 2011012710013707 note.
Hi! You sent me a note in the OTRS system (https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentZoom&TicketID=5527944), but I'm unable to open it, probably because it's in a queue I can't access. The message read ""Jeandré du Toit" added a new note to ticket [2011012710013707]" Asav (talk) 08:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Center HTML tags causing line breaks.
Re [1]
- [Weird lines at F and A]
- You mean the center instruction won't turn off in the main text below the caption? Tony (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Olsen hatnote.
Re [2]
- I don't understand your recent removal of the hatnote from Olaf Olsen (drummer). Until a few days ago, the article on him was the only article by the name Olaf Olsen, so I felt it was better to leave a hatnote in place, even though his article is now distinguished as "(drummer)". --Orange Mike | Talk 14:52, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

BLPs.
Re [5].
- Yes, but the {{BLP unsourced}} template is only used on articles where the subject is a living person or very small groups of people such as bands. I've added some references now so the point is irrelevant. Hut 8.5 08:37, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
UK referendum London map.
Re [6]
- Hi, that's a bit of unfortunate timing - you added a map for London just as I had added it(!) I've reverted to my version as its SVG format (generally preferred) and identical colouring to the maps for the other regions. The colours could be changed - I've made a comment at Talk:Results of the United Kingdom Alternative Vote referendum, 2011#Missing Details and Maps on that.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Null votes for WMFB election.
- [On voting for the board]
- Hey there. I hesitated a bit before writing this note because I wouldn't want to give the impression that I'm tooting my own horn, but you obviously spent a great deal of effort and diligence evaluating the candidates for the board and I thought it would be a shame if your vote went to waste despite all the dedication by accident rather than by design.
- Are you aware that, by design of the voting system, a vote placing all candidates at the same rank (or ranking no candidate) has no net effect on the tally? I think it's clear that your intent is to register a "no candidate is suitable" vote; but because the way preferential voting systems work you have voted "every candidate is equally suitable" in a way that is guaranteed by design to not affect the result in any way or to even be detectable in the tally.
- I don't think that there is a way to register a significant protest vote with this scheme — short of making your views public through other channels — but it's obvious that you feel that the board selection is important enough to care so casting a "null" ballot seems to go counter your intent. Just saying. — Coren (talk) 00:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've responded further on my talk. — Coren (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

- No, he didn't create that page from scratch (unfortunately he's inactive now I think). It used to be a very popular page on Wikipedia, however some unhappy person decided they wanted it deleted because it apparently violates WP:NOT, so several votes were held until they got the result they wanted; at that point Chris Sundita decided to keep it alive in userspace rather than let a bunch of grouches take the fun and usefulness out of Wikipedia. --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 23:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Page abbreviations, username.
[11]:
Re [12] and [13], please undo your changing of "p." and "pp." to "pg." and "pgs." per for example Template:Cite book. Also please change your username from an email address to a normal username. -- Jeandré, 2011-07-24t20:51z
- [Rms125a@hotmail.com]
- Please do not leave ultimatums on my talk page.
- a) I am not changing my username -- had you read the talk page you would have seen the following from admin User:Alison: Robert is one of the few editors who is not obliged to change his username, as his account was created many years before the rules were changed - Alison ❤ 02:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
- Note: I believe this is not the first time you have inquired (to use a more polite term than is really appropriate) about my username. I am pretty sure you were told the same thing back then.
- b) I see nothing in the link you provided which mandates p. and pp. rather than pg. and pgs. In any event I am not going back to hunt and replace such trivialities as "pg." and "pgs." If you want to create a bot to do it, fine.
- Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:44, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
- Page abbreviations fixed. -- Jeandré, 2011-07-25t20:06z
