Fragmented conversations hurt my brain. |
| I will respond here to comments that are posted here, and, well, elsewhere to comments posted elsewhere. Please, please don't fragment a conversation just to get my attention—if I comment at a page, it's a very safe assumption that I have watchlisted it. If you are concerned that I might miss a post elsewhere, use {{Talkback}} to notify me here. |
LNN
Hello, I'm writing in regards to your comment here. First off, do you know what "lnn" is? If so, a simple explanation (as was requested) would be quite helpful. Second, if redirecting "lnn" to "LNN" is so detrimental, why didn't you just undo it? (you are an admin, right?) Anything you can contribute here to clear this up would be appreciated. Thanks - thewolfchild 01:22, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello again, I note that you have actively edited since I posted my question here. I will assume that perhaps you didn't notice, and therefore will ask again for you assistance. Thank you. - thewolfchild 01:37, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I did not see this earlier. I much prefer the old message notice system, since the new "you have new messages" doesn't tell you how many you should be looking for. In any case, no, I don't know what "lnn" stands for, but you might consider asking User:Mzajac, who created the redirect way back in 2007, and is still active. Parsecboy (talk) 11:54, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll give that a try. In the meantime, there are a couple of things that are a little confusing to me. First, you had commented that my change of the redirect affected 200 pages, yet the link you provided only lists two. Second, I was under the impression that you took issue with that edit, but in your comment here (at the bottom), you seem supportive of it. Am I mis-reading something(s)? ... - thewolfchild 18:30, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- The redirects have all been fixed (see for instance here). That's what I was objecting to—you were making more work for others to clean up and did not seem to understand the need to fix the problem your edit created. As for my comment on the Posen FAC, I was neither supporting nor objecting to the re-targeting, simply explaining why the need to fix the lnn link hadn't been identified until Ian saw it. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Well, sorry if my edit "created work", but it looks like work that needed to be done anyway, as you "explained to Ian". Mind you, I didn't create that re-direct in the first place. I just tried fixing it. As did Ketiltrout before me. For some reason, Br'er Rabbit went and undid that, but I can't ask him because it appears he has been banned for like... ever. So, like you said, hopefully Mzajac can shed some light on this. - thewolfchild 20:41, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- No, it wasn't work that needed to be done. Everything was hunky dory until you changed redirect. And "fixed" is a subjective way to describe it; presumably there is a reason Mzajac created it in the first place. Parsecboy (talk) 21:18, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- "Presumably" ? - thewolfchild 18:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, presumably, because I cannot read Mzajac's mind. I can only assume that s/he had a good reason to create the redirect. Parsecboy (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- Well, that's where you and I will have to agree to disagree, as I'd rather not "assume" anything. - thewolfchild 00:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Your List of battlecruisers is now a featured list in de:Wiki too
Hello Parsecboy,
as you maybe know I translated your featured List of battlecruisers into German language a while ago and have nominated it for becoming a featured list on its own two weeks ago. Today it was finally awarded with 8 Pro and 0 Contra. The article saw a few changes in its structure and streamlining in the tables which are now sortable but in its essential core and which got it the most praises, the introduction and the high number of references it is still your article. So, in my opinion it is for a great part your Award. Thank you for the great article and the answers to the questions I had during the translation. Best regards --Bomzibar (talk) 20:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

- Many thanks, Bomzibar. I hadn't been following its progress on de.wiki, but I'm glad to know how it ended up! Parsecboy (talk) 00:13, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Request for administrator input
I know it's not a military topic, but I've seen your work on military article and knew you were an administrator, and so hoped you might be able to weigh in. The article about Wajam, a browser add-on that shares user search information with friends and generates pop-up ads, is the source of some edit "scuffles." I've added a section with four or five sources that discusses why Wajam can be a security threat, and how it is often installed without a user even realizing that it's there. This is well-documented. Meanwhile, the page is policed by the company; IP users from Montreal (where Wajam was created) keep reverting edits that discuss the security concerns. Now there's a brand-new user whose only contribution so far has been to delete that controversy section. I asked another admin (Tom harrison) about it, but he's not on all that often. I don't want to run afoul of the 3-revert rule, but this sock-puppetry is a bit ridiculous, and smacks of NPOV violations. I'd appreciate some outside input. Thanks! Sacxpert (talk) 22:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- It seems rather obvious that these IPs are connected with the company. I left a couple of comments on the talk page and warned the IP who has been talking with you about his/her apparent conflict of interest. I seriously doubt that will achieve anything, but I can always start blocking the IPs. Parsecboy (talk) 12:36, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Possible GA Nomination
I was planning on nominating one of your Greek maritime articles, the Greek destroyer Lonchi. Needless to say, you may assist in the review if you wish to do so. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 13:19, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, that's fine. I'll help out with it where I can. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 13:28, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Dresden-class cruiser

Marceau
I'm finally finished with Marceau. Check it over and make whatever changes are necessary. Double-check the bit in the main body about going into reserve against Feron as I think that some other editor attempted to clean it up and I can't find my copy of Feron. Nominate it whenever you're ready.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
