[edit] Pleuger rudder

Thank you for spellchecking this article. Please do not simply change the spelling from British English to American English. I am going to leave the edit in place because it's not relevant, but it just seems such a waste of time, and is also not in accord with wkipedia's guidelines on spellings. There is a whole revert war at Aluminium because of spelling differences. Fiddle Faddle 06:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

After a couple of such changes, I quickly realized that 'manoeuverability' was an acceptable spelling in British English even though it is listed here as a misspelling. I removed the correction setting in my AWB. But thanks for your post. Thiseye 07:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- There are a number of dipthongs which will catch AWB out. These things are always a challenge. It should not be listed in that article though. Fiddle Faddle 07:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your AWB "fixes"...

Hi. Thanks for your efforts using AWB.

You seem to have changed the order of inter-language links at Eurovision Song Contest. See the diff here. I was told that these links should be in alphabetical order.. but it seems that you are moving them out of order. Why? What is correct? EuroSong ^talk 08:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I did notice that oddity in AWB once when I was using it today. I assumed the links were to be in alphabetical order as well based on how the AWB normally operates. When I saw that today, I assumed there was some kind of exception, but I realize now that that was probably a dumb assumption to make. Perhaps, I had some setting incorrect or AWB just got confused. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though. I'll double-check my settings and be more careful in the future. Thiseye 08:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- AWB is not confused, the order is correct and specified at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_sorting_order and is the same order used by all bots. Martin 22:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please update

Please update to the latest version of AWB, it now includes all my spelling fixes and is actively developed by the community. Thanks. --mboverload @ 03:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AWB question

Hi Thiseye.

Today your AWB robot changed the code for Ø (Ø) to the letter Ø. Can everybody then read the letter now?

On my office computer, Chinese 'letters' are just small squares and sanskrit are vertical lines. Does the Scandinavian letters Æ, Ø and Å show up on your screen? (Æ, Ø and Å)

(I'm not interested in directions in getting my browser to read Chinese letters) --Necessary Evil 07:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're asking --Thiseye 03:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- Why is your AWB robot changing Ø to the letter Ø? I asked you if all computers in the World are set up to read Ø ? Necessary Evil 14:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- - Not necessarily, but then Ø means absolutely nothing to anyone at all, at least the unicode makes sense to most people. Martin 22:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- - - Welcome Martin to the discussion.
    - People will not see: Ø on their monitors, they will see Ø. My question is; will more people see Ø from Ø than the typed Ø ? Please DO NOT read this in the Editing box or in the Show Changes box. If you do, it will make no sense at all! Bye Necessary Evil 12:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar issue

I noticed that you listed yourself as a grammar nazi. I actually have a grammar issue that I thought you might be willing to help with. It is regarding whether or not dances (like waltz, tango, swing, ballet, etc.) should be capitalized. There is currently a discussion about it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance and Talk:Lindy Hop. We would certainly appreciate your input. Thanks! —Cswrye 14:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AWB edit to Penrhyn Quarry Railway

Hi Thiseye. I noticed that you recently made a change to the Penrhyn Quarry Railway article with AWB, changing occurrences of frac12; to ½. I think its a mistake to do this for a couple of reasons. First, at least on my machine frac12; (which produces ½) is slightly easier to read than ½ because it renders the nominator and denominator of the fraction in a larger font. Second, its much easier for people to correct a fraction written using the frac template; on some systems it is very hard to type the ½ character and there aren't Unicode characters for all the appropriate fractions, whereas the frac template can produce any arbitrary fraction.

I couldn't find any policy or guideline that suggests the Unicode characters such as ½ are preferred and I believe there are significant advantages to using the frac template. Could I ask you not to replace the frac template in the future, or at least point me to the guideline that says it should be replaced?

Thanks, Gwernol 23:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pages needing correction

Hello Thiseye, I noticed your intervention on the Intelligence Support Activity page. I had begun to improve the page because noone seemed to want to do it, but I don't speak english well enough, thank you for your correction of my mistakes. I have also added some text on other pages, including Joint Special Operations Command, Joint Communications Unit and 24th Special Tactics Squadron. Could you please check it and correct the mistakes I have probably done ? Thank you. Rob1bureau 21:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. Incidentally, I didn't find too many errors --Thiseye 02:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. But I have not written much text in these pages, on the contrary of the Intelligence Support Activity. Rob1bureau 12:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you actually enjoy correcting? If you do, you are a gold mine! :Dc76 19:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I do actually. I'm weird like that. :-) --Thiseye 03:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
