| Hello Andy. When tagging infoboxes with the {{tls|tfd}} template, can I please urge you to use the {{para|type|sidebar}} parameter? This will ensure the TFD banner appears above the infobox in articles, rather than across the entire page (which is very confusing to readers). Thanks. 10:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC) | Hello Andy.

Talk to me, Andy Mabbett
- If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
- If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
- If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
- If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "+" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
- Please do not make links from within section headings.
- Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags", etc.) will be removed from this page on sight.
- Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.
- Start a new discussion.
 | Pigsonthewing is involved in Misplaced Pages training, an editathon, Wikimania, or a similar Misplaced Pages event. Though he may be editing, he could be too busy to respond to you until the event is over. Your patience will be appreciated. |
ANI re your DR
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaijin42 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
QSMM and ICE
QSMM:As you see I have knocked of Piece-rate lists, and this opens a potential series of articles relating to unionism, early Labour history. Enjoy. We still have the outstanding issue of copyright in LCC museums- any developments? I am waiting to upload some Helmshore material still. Looking at the Misplaced Pages:GLAM/Queen Street Mill Museum/event it would be very helpful to me to have a report on what happened. (Zero short term memory). Particularly the names of the attendees and their emails. There were items that came up in discussion that should be noted- particularly the concerns of new editors- even a photo of the event. Could this be thought about? ICE:I can come along and assist if that is helpful, either with new editors or with a camera but I don't fancy coming along cold with out a briefing of what we are attempting to achieve. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 11:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'll get back to you once the issue below is resolved. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- No urgency- I have sent you Harle Syke Mill as a get well soon present. I was thinking that LCC could use this article to contact the Briercliffe Society to show them what we are doing. In particular it would be nice to have Roger Frost on board- and negotiate with him whether he would like to donate his collection of pre-1923 postcards to commons. I will be leaving for France about 22 August and will have limited Internet access until September. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 15:27, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I have a second detachment of my retina, requiring emergency surgery tomorrow. After that, I shall probably be unable to edit Misplaced Pages for one or two weeks. I shall be reading email, on my phone. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

- Only just spotted this. Best wishes from me, too. Tim riley (talk) 21:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Thank you again to everyone who expressed kind wishes. My surgery went well and the eye is recovering slowly, as expected. I still have a gas bubble, which will last for about two months. I shall then have another operation. I am no longer required to lie prone, so can use my laptop again, albeit with one eye.

DYK for Schauspielhaus Wuppertal
 | On 3 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Schauspielhaus Wuppertal, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Schauspielhaus Wuppertal (pictured), a 745-seat municipal theatre for plays in Wuppertal, opened in 1966 and closed on 30 June 2013? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Schauspielhaus Wuppertal. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Template:Did you know nominations/Portrait of Kitty redux
Andy, I hope you're recovering well. Whenever you're able—no rush; take it easy and don't overdo—please stop by and answer Froggerlaura's question (or take care of the McGregor/quote attribute issue she raised). Once that's done, the nomination should be ready for approval. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- In a later development, Froggerlaura makes a troubling find. I am far from certain this will be approved now, and would appreciate your engagement on the page when it is feasible. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Template merge
Regarding your proposal to merge Template:Infobox royalty with Template:Infobox monarch, you do realise that most royalty (e.g. members of a royal family) aren't monarchs? AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- The former template is also used for Monarchs. We don't need two. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- Possibly, but that doesn't alter the fact that e.g. Prince Charles is Royalty, but he isn't a Monarch. I see you have revised your proposal, and will comment there. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
