		The Original Barnstar
		I'm not sure why you haven't picked up a bevy of these already, but thanks for all your effort, particularly in tracking down good sources with diagrams, etc., on the photography- and color-related articles (not to mention fighting vandalism). Those areas of Wikipedia are much richer for your work. Cheers! —jacobolus (t) 02:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		To Dicklyon on the occasion of your photograph of Ivan Sutherland and his birthday! What a great gift. -User:SusanLesch 04:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		For your hard work in improving and watching over the Ohm's law article SpinningSpark 00:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

		The Original Barnstar
		For your improvements to the Centrifugal force articles. Your common sense approach of creating a summary-style article at the simplified title, explaining the broad concepts in a way that is accessible to the general reader and linking to the disambiguated articles, has provided Wikipedia's readership with a desperately needed place to explain in simple terms the basic concepts involved in understanding these related phenomena.

		For your comment here which at once admits your own errors with humility yet focusses our attention upon the real villain Egg Centric (talk) 17:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

		The Photographer's Barnstar
		For your great contribution to Wikipedia in adding pictures and illustrations to articles improving the reader's experience by adding a visual idea to the written information.--Xaleman87 (talk) 05:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

	The Special Barnstar
	I could not find a barnstar for standing up to an outrageously unjust block so you get a special one. Hang in there. В²C ☎ 23:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

	The Resilient Barnstar
	For your work in standardising article titles in line with the now consistent MOS:JR guidance, I present you this accolade. Your continued work in this regard, and in others, has been appreciated. It may have taken years, but much was accomplished. RGloucester — ☎ 14:44, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've started to note the many scholarly contributions of this author, beginning with editing of the Wikipedia Cintel pages. For images and vision, I've had a lifelong career in color grading for feature films, tv commercials, videos, etc. with telecine and other systems worldwide; as a musician, 'Human and Machine Hearing' will certainly be fascinating. Thank you to Richard F. Lyon for providing the PDF of this work to all. Lingelbach (talk) 22:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dicklyon: Hello Mr. Lyon, I sent you a message on your talk page about a month ago here about the capitalization of "Did not advance" in tables but I don't think you saw it. Sorry I should've made a new topic instead of adding it to an old discussion. Just checking in to see if you could address the issue with capitalization inconsistencies. 198.188.6.56 (talk) 18:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While there was no consensus, as you noted, you're right that they need to be consistent within articles, and you pointed out two where they're not. I'll fix those. I don't know any easy way to find more like that, but if you see any please point them out. Dicklyon (talk) 22:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those 2 done. Dicklyon (talk) 03:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dicklyon: Thanks for fixing those. I did a brief filter of your history and although it's not everything, it should be a good amount. You can look through here. Although, you can ignore some on that list because not all of them have the "Did not advance" on them. Mainly, I noticed a majority of articles were about World Games (there are less articles about the World Games and it can be found mostly here), Summer Youth Olympics, World Athletics, Asian Games, Youth Asain Games, and older Olympic Games. Hope you're having a nice day! 198.188.6.56 (talk) 18:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through that 4200 articles automatically to find ones where the capitalization of "Did not X" was inconsistent; there weren't many, and fixed the few I found, back to capitalized "Did". But maybe I missed some; let me know if you see some. Dicklyon (talk) 00:10, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I just wanted to apologize for my confusion with this article. For whatever reason, instead of fixing the credits for "Sleeping with the One I Love", I did this for a completely different article (Hood Boy). I am not sure what my deal has been lately, but I just wanted to apologize and let you know that article has now been corrected. I hope you are having an excellent weekend so far! Aoba47 (talk) 21:48, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Good luck with your unretirement break. I'm having fun exploring around Sydney: User:Dicklyon#Pyrmont_and_the_Inner_West. Dicklyon (talk) 22:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have fun! Aoba47 (talk) 22:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, is there a way for you to avoid mistakes such as this? Changing a correct link to the initiative by Ukraine to raise more military units to a gridiron position is well... not optimal.

Yes, that's way suboptimal and and I take full repsonsibility for the error. After your revert of 30 April I took steps ensure it will not happen again. I apologize for the trouble, and thank you for finding and fixing my error. Dicklyon (talk) 08:41, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was not me who discovered it but thank you for making it sure it was fixed. TylerBurden (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:JWB makes it pretty clear the user takes full responsibility when using the script, so it is probably worth looking into if there is a reason something is capitalized before putting it in to be fixed. TylerBurden (talk) 06:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Dicklyon (talk) 08:41, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why "reached the Second round", etc., is meant to look better. Seasider53 (talk) 11:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's a bug. I'm trying to do some cleanup passes to catch such things, but it's tricky with piped links. Got that one. I appreciate the feedback; do let me know if you ohter errors I've missed. Dicklyon (talk) 11:19, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When the RfC closes, can you have the script lowercase Game 1 to game one and so on? This is something I'm always critical of since game should not be capitalized and the number should be spelled out, but the source I grab from capitalizes, so I've been consistent in the effort of not having my work be redone. Cheers. Conyo14 (talk) 07:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there reason to suspect that's related to the RFC? I had done some like that already (just the downcasing, like I've done with 1st Round, etc., not the number, which I agree is also a good idea). Dicklyon (talk) 16:08, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, RFCs often don't ever close; they get forgotten and expire in 30 days, more typically. But with the clear consensus, we can probably ask for a close sooner. Dicklyon (talk) 16:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I don't have a script – though JWB is a script, I guess. To me it's an app that facilitates finding and fixing things, but it's not magic. Limiting that kind of change to contexts where it's not wrong is the usual challenge; I can try to do more of those. But numerals instead of spelled out words are so often misused that it will be hard to make a dent in them. Dicklyon (talk) 00:27, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you made any headway on this issue. It seems like I've recently stepped into it. Anything I can do to help? ~Kvng (talk) 16:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Responded at those places. Dicklyon (talk) 00:22, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

	SO MANY MINOR EDITS! Thank you for your work. -ASHEIOU (THEY/THEM • TALK) 19:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There we go again, commenting on the quantity of my edits instead of the quality. But minor thanks anyway. Dicklyon (talk) 00:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Dicklyon. I wanted to follow up about a requested move at Talk:2002 Davis Cup World Group qualifying round#Requested move 7 May 2023. It looks like only the pages listed at your request, and not the similarly named pages, had been moved. I went ahead and moved all the similarly named articles from different years in Category:Billie Jean King Cups by year and Category:Davis Cups by year. There was a total of 215 addition moves that I completed. I'm doing some post-move cleanup on the articles to fix the capitalization now and I just wanted to let you know. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks! Let me know if there are parts you'd like my help on. Dicklyon (talk) 16:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I think I'm all good. I finished up the cleanup with AWB. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:39, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, is this intentional? 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, the squeezing out of space was a pure screwup. I'll look and see if I did more like that. Dicklyon (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found and fixed a few dozen, mostly not mine. Dicklyon (talk) 19:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing most of mine already! Dicklyon (talk) 19:36, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do not remember doing that, but thanks for your fixes anyway. 1234qwer1234qwer4 22:44, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might have been another editor; but thanks for catching what that one missed. Dicklyon (talk) 22:45, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My watchlist is full of JWB edits that merely replace a valid and unlikely-to-change redirect. This is clearly not helpful to the project, as explained in WP:NOTBROKEN. Please modify your script to only submit changes that modify the link's display text. SounderBruce 20:36, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to prune out some of those. Life is easier when people don't complain about improvements just because they're minor. It's not like I'm adding piping or changing links that are not wrong. Dicklyon (talk) 22:17, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, WP:NOTBROKEN seems to encourage fixing spelling and other errors (e.g. capitalization errors, as here). I don't see that it discourages such fixes; mostly it's about adding piping to avoid redirects, which I don't do. Last time this was discussed, opinions were mixed, I recall. Dicklyon (talk) 22:49, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Deadman137 (talk) 21:55, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deadman, just because you reverted one of my edits doesn't mean I'm engaging in an edit war. And the discussion underway is clearly in favor of no hockey exception to MOS:CAPS. And if you're going to accuse me of something, please be clear what edit(s) you're talking about. Dicklyon (talk) 23:16, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused as to why I'm pinged in that draft. Is that a mistake? Nemov (talk) 13:35, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I failed to consider that a ping would work in a user-space draft. I'm still considering whether this is just a foolish idea, but I put it out there where y'all could see it. Dicklyon (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
