I like File:User contributions detail.svg but it was removed from Help:User contributions today as outdated.[1] Can you make an updated version with the red and green numbers described at Wikipedia:Added or removed characters? Also, "diff" and "hist" have swapped positions. An often overlooked detail is that the arrow at a section edit summary is a link to the section. It's a minor issue but perhaps this could be mentioned. PrimeHunter (talk)

Translation issue of the open letter

The problem is that the one initially in charge of the Chinese translation of the open letter "amended" some content not really present in the original letter like making analogy between Superprotect and internet censorship in China which many Chinese Wikipedians don't find this recreation accurate and pleasing. The mistranslation has been removed[2], but I think it does somehow damage the dignity of your motion among the zh.wp community because not all of our users find either the MV or SP too revolting. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 22:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification @Sameboat:. It's good to know; I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to help. Let me know if there is. -Pete (talk) 17:04, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Please check out my user talk page

I've posted an important statement there and its aimed very much at you on one key element: the plea to please relax a notch or two. I know you think you are helping by going around agitating for an open letter but I don't agree - and there is no rush. I'd like you to dial back the rhetoric because it looks from where I sit very much a case of WP:IDONTHEARYOU. Let's chill out and remember what we are here for - all of us - and it isn't to engage in useless internal bickering.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 20:41, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
