Thank you again to everyone who has sent or expressed good wishes. For those curious (which Wikipedian isn't?), I suffered a retinal detachment, which was treated by vitrectomy including the injection of a gas bubble. My eye surgeon is pleased with my progress, though it's still early days so far as knowing the long-term outcome. The gas bubble in my eye is reducing in size and I no longer need to lie prone for most of the time. While I will need to take regular breaks, I am now able to start to resume editing.

Hi Andy, see the note on Category:Operas. For convenience of navigation, we list all operas in this category and in their subcats. Voceditenore (talk) 12:57, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
It won't happen. I had the same thing. There'll be no evidence, but you can't prove a negative. The smear will remain forever, and there's nothing you can do about it I'm afraid. Best to just get over it and move on. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:34, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alfred Wallis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St Ives (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Schauspielhaus (Wuppertal) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 16:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --Smerus (talk) 15:57, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
HI. You have edited International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC), which needs clarification of how the ISWC-Network defines the term 'Unique Identifier' for musical works. The relevant Discussion Page gives examples of various works, which would appear to be duplicates. It is necessary to explain what constitues 'uniqueness', and how multiple assigned ISWC codes are conbined and de-referenced. Thanks. WhitePJ (talk) 19:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Andy, I've closed off the discussion at WP:ANI concerning the possible topic ban breaches and will not be taking any administrative action against you for those edits. I believe, however, that the topic ban is poorly worded and have asked that specific namespace(s) be mentioned in the topic ban, so there's now a discussion at WP:AN which I hope will produce a more precisely worded topic ban. I have no personal interest in any sanctions and am informing you purely on a procedural basis. Best wishes, Nick (talk) 12:10, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Pigsonthewing, Today the newsletter this month in GLAM will be send out in about three/four hours. On outreach:GLAM/Newsletter/June 2013/Contents/UK report is mentioned that you would write about the GLAM activities in the past month. Can you do that? Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have a second detachment of my retina, requiring emergency surgery tomorrow. After that, I shall probably be unable to edit Wikipedia for one or two weeks. I shall be reading email, on my phone. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Thank you again to everyone who expressed kind wishes. My surgery went well and the eye is recovering slowly, as expected. I still have a gas bubble, which will last for about two months. I shall then have another operation. I am no longer required to lie prone, so can use my laptop again, albeit with one eye.

QSMM:As you see I have knocked of Piece-rate lists, and this opens a potential series of articles relating to unionism, early Labour history. Enjoy. We still have the outstanding issue of copyright in LCC museums- any developments? I am waiting to upload some Helmshore material still. Looking at the Wikipedia:GLAM/Queen Street Mill Museum/event it would be very helpful to me to have a report on what happened. (Zero short term memory). Particularly the names of the attendees and their emails. There were items that came up in discussion that should be noted- particularly the concerns of new editors- even a photo of the event. Could this be thought about? ICE:I can come along and assist if that is helpful, either with new editors or with a camera but I don't fancy coming along cold with out a briefing of what we are attempting to achieve. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 11:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Andy, I hope you're recovering well. Whenever you're able—no rush; take it easy and don't overdo—please stop by and answer Froggerlaura's question (or take care of the McGregor/quote attribute issue she raised). Once that's done, the nomination should be ready for approval. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Regarding your proposal to merge Template:Infobox royalty with Template:Infobox monarch, you do realise that most royalty (e.g. members of a royal family) aren't monarchs? AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello Andy. When tagging infoboxes with the ((subst:tfd)) template, can I please urge you to use the |type=sidebar
parameter? This will ensure the TFD banner appears above the infobox in articles, rather than across the entire page (which is very confusing to readers). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by This, that and the other (talk • contribs) 10:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I've not had much experience of audio on Wikipedia, and can't find any obvious policy on where it is and isn't appropriate, but skimming the pages that include the ((listen)) template, they all seem to be musicians, poets and other performers, and animals and instruments. Isn't it confusing for the reader to have a voice clip on the biography of a person who is in no way known for his voice? It seems like having an uncaptioned photo of someone wearing a football strip and kicking a ball, on an article about someone who isn't known for playing football. Or, at best, a sound clip of a teaspoon stirring some tea, on the teaspoon article - it wouldn't be misleading, the sound just wouldn't be important to someone wanting to understand teaspoons to an encyclopedia level. Let me know if there's a policy or precedent I'm missing here. --McGeddon (talk) 11:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes.

Andy, I can easily add a few citations tho probably not more sources - unfortunately the online DNB, my original source, doesn't have page numbers. Thanks for the nomination.
The reference to the Universal Director is problematic. Whether it deserves a Wiki entry I don't know - it only had one edition. There are plenty of references to it on the web but whether they'll ever be a google scan who knows. But it does contain the first recorded use of the term civil engineer.

The article Little Miss Barber has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. LGA talkedits 02:36, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Hey Andy, not sure why you changed Infobox named horse to list everything with a different sequence of numbers. I reverted it for now, but can you pop over to talk and let us know what you thinking was on that? Thanks! Montanabw(talk) 03:47, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

The bot has finished converting all instances of Template:Infobox poem to use ((start date))
(and I've manually done the 4 or 5 it couldn't process, which were added to Category:Infoboxes needing manual conversion to use start date by the bot). Is there consensus to perform this task for other infoboxes? I've spoken with a member of the Bot Approvals Group and he said that if there is consensus, future runs (for different templates) can be speedily approved. Keep me posted, Theopolisme (talk) 04:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

onto their talk pages. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:39, 2 August 2013 (UTC)Andy, for the second time in two days, you have made a personal attack on another contributor (I am referring to this edit, where you accuse another editor of vandalising an article, after accusing her of lying – later rephrased, that's true). Please stop. I understand you may feel frustrated, but attacking other editors doesn't help the committee understand the situation and reach a fair decision; and seeing as the atmosphere is already rather charged, I'd like to invite you not to add to it, please.
