Flag template changes
Please do not try to change the size parameter directly within individual flag templates. If you need to change the size of a particular instances, use {{flagicon|Switzerland|size=16px}} for example. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

How to sign comments correctly
Docu - this reference HERE provides guidelines on how to properly sign comments. Rarelibra (talk) 15:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- There is no need to sign each section of a comment. Just stop inserting lines of my comments . You may continue adding your prose wherever else you like. -- User:Docu
- LOL. Dude, you just don't GET IT, do you? HERE are the official wiki guidelines on talk pages. Specificially:
- Editing others' comments is sometimes allowed, but you should exercise caution in doing so. Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments:
- Unsigned comments: You are allowed to append — Preceding unsigned comment added by ] (] • ]) or one of its variants to the end of someone's comment if they have failed to sign it. The form is —Preceding unsigned comment added by USER NAME OR IP (talk • contribs) DATE AND TIME, which results in —The preceding unsigned comment was added by USER NAME OR IP (talk • contribs) DATE AND TIME.
- Interruptions: In some cases, it is OK to interrupt a long contribution, either with a short comment (as a reply to a minor point) or with a heading (if the contribution introduces a new topic). In that case, add "Heading added to (reason) by Rarelibra (talk) 13:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)"). In such cases, please add —This is part of a comment by USER NAME OR IP , which was interrupted by the following: before the interruption.
- So as you can see, ANY editor is free to insert lines of comment as long as they are done properly (as I did). For your reference, I will tell you to stop editing my comments and grouping them into some block summation that detracts from the purpose of my comments. So don't try to tell me how to edit. I will edit however I want to as long as it is within wiki guidelines. Rarelibra (talk) 01:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Which one of the two points do you pretend to have followed? Please provide a diff to the edit as well. -- User:Docu
- Not my job to point out the obvious. Have fun editing. Rarelibra (talk) 12:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Really old edit
Back in 2004, you added this wording to the bot policy. Today there is some issue with what are the certain types of person categories bots should not populate/depopulate. Can you shed any light on this? MBisanz 15:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
