Prague Metro

Hi -- The thing about Mustek comes from a plaque in the station itself. A picture of the medieval bridge is at [1].

The fact about the elevator is from the page linked to. I timed the 2.5 minutes myself (this was before that kind of thing was banned as "original research").

For Andel, this page shows the opening date of the "Prague" station in Moscow. It actually shows it as a few days later than Wikipedia's opening date for Andel. I don't know if that's because the two sites are using two different types of opening days or if the tour book I used (forgot the name) was incorrect. The murals I've seen myself, and pictures of them can easily be found online. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 23:26, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Clear, thanks! As I ascertained, there indeed was a 4-day gap between openings. --Microcell (talk) 11:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Tarkhankut

Is there anything in particular you want me to look at? I could copyedit it a bit, but in general it's OK for a Start-class article.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 19, 2011; 14:23 (UTC)

If I knew where it needs correcting, I'd somehow do it on my own. :) Sometimes it annoys when reading an article supposed to be quality and correct you find mistakes or awkwardness of any kind. That's why I don't intend to enrich the project with such one, although sometimes have a desire to represent a familiar topic here. Just fix to make it look OK, please, that's all. Thanks! --Microcell (talk) 19:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I did a quick copyedit, and will give the article another look in a couple of days. Also, there are two inline comments I've inserted where I was not sure about the meaning of the sentences (my Ukrainian is not that good, I'm afraid :)). If you could address those, it'd help. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 19, 2011; 20:43 (UTC)

Thanks for the revision! I've fixed one word which wasn't suitable enough in the context. Probably, I was too quick making the translation and didn't ponder much over about how to put it better. As for the second remark, the original source gives that questionable sentence as "Кроме того, с установкой телеграфной и метеорологической станции необходимо было держать связь с проходящими мимо кораблями." Maybe, something like "Additionally, after telegraph and meteorological stations were set up, the need to communicate with passing ships arose." is better? --Microcell (talk) 21:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

No prob. Regarding the telegraph, do you think that sentence should even be there? To me it seems the necessity to communicate with the ships using the telegraph is rather obvious, especially after the appropriate facilities have been installed. The sentence just doesn't answer the question of why it was important (apart from obvious reasons). What do you think?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 20, 2011; 13:37 (UTC)

As you wish, this detail is not so important. --Microcell (talk) 09:27, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Bad ISO 15924 User boxes

I selfreverted one edit [2]. It looks like that solved it (needs purge for checking etc.). I´ll keep an eye on it, see if the bug returns. If there is anything else in this, I'd like you to let me know. -DePiep (talk) 21:48, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, thank you, I don't see any problems either. Not that I'm eager now to search for possible glitches on purpose, but will inform you when I notice something out of order. --Microcell (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

After some looking around, my current guess is that indeed the wp-name template required a #default option in the #switch (which I had taken out and just now reverted). Interestingly, the userbox template enters the word Default, (writing |{{{1|Default}}}), so the template should at least return some text (a red link text is better than no text at all, creating the error we saw). Using |#default not |Default is a catch all, so better than the single-word catch.

Also, I noticed that you too were editing while I did research. Especially the not telling you were busy could be devastating for such a debugging process. We could have messed it up by the squares!

Anyway, now that it's quiet, indeed you could try to get rid of the double redirects (both of them). In the sandbox, sir. -DePiep (talk) 22:32, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for a close look, I have cleared the sandbox of the boxes. I don't see myself as a template master, thus when trying to fix them at first look over the code and tend to use the preview button when necessary. Regarding that edit, it really appeared to be the cause and as preview for obvious reasons would've been fruitless I only saved it for a while to see what it would change. My apologies if it was needless. --Microcell (talk) 08:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

AWB note in IRC

You popped into IRC, mentioned something about AWB being broken, or similar, then disappeared without explaining more. What issue are you seeing? We can be a bit slow to answer questions in #autowikibrowser. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reacting, unfortunately it was not the first time I heard no response over IRC, so I gave up quite soon. The problem is, after I granted a user local AWB access per his request, he complained the system fails to recognise the account (see uk:Обговорення користувача:Microcell#AWB with a short talk). Looking through the system requirements, according to him, the only possible incompatibility can be with the .NET Framework version, however, for what it's worth, the FAQ says about a different message posted in this case. It's just that we don't want to waste time picking random causes and testing them, therefore your help is desirable. Thanks again and sorry for bothering you. --Microcell (talk) 20:29, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Just to let you know, it's OK now. --Microcell (talk) 20:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you are listed as an . I wonder if you can help us elucidating the source and the age of some Talk:Lipiţa culture#Lipița culture images. Thanks a lot and best regards.--Codrin.B (talk) 18:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
