Hi, I didn't add the comment about Botts dots to the request. Sorry if they are different, I didn't know and assumed that Botts Dots were just another nameEvil MonkeyTalk 06:42, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

D'oh. It didn't occur to me that that text wasn't yours, which is doltish of me. Anyway, Bott's Dots were invented by a Mr. Bott, employed by the California Department of Transportation, and they aren't especially reflective. They're meant to rattle your car should you stray out of your lane.--Fred 06:48, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Carole Landis photo

[edit]

Hello I have reinstated the photo, the date should be 1940s. Please do not be so hasty in removing photos in the future, contact the person who added it or check the source which in this case is shown on the image page [1], the soldier who appears in the photo is shown the same age in several other photos marked 1940s.

SoftSide software

[edit]

Hello! I was searching recently for information regarding some early computer magazines and noticed on your user page that you were an editor at SoftSide. Would you happen to know where I might be able to find a list of the software that was published in SoftSide, or even if there is such a list? I'd love to expand WP's article on the magazine and include some details on the programs it published. Thanks! Huwmanbeing  22:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
