Hello. I was wondering why you blocked this IPv6 address, as the only edit I can see from it appears to be constructive, unless I'm missing something here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:00, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for asking. That is weird! When I did that block, I went by the IPv4 address; I don't know what went wrong there. I will unblock this address right away. — Sebastian 04:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
The IPv4 address I meant to block was 71.187.52.66 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I had checked that address's contributions for the last year, so I would normally have gone through the block link on the contributions page. But maybe I clicked at the wrong link on this diff. Anyway, thanks again for bringing this to my attention! — Sebastian 04:17, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to try out new SuggestBot design

edit

Hi Sebastian. I appreciated your feedback about SuggestBot about a month ago, thanks again for that! We've now got a new design of SuggestBot's suggestion posts ready for testing, so I was wondering if you'd want to try it out and answer a short survey about it? Let me know if that sounds interesting to you. Cheers, Nettrom (talk) 19:26, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Radix economy

edit

You ask a great question at Talk:Radix economy#Why assume that the cost of each digit is proportional to b?.

In too many explanations -- at Wikipedia and elsewhere -- something with very practical applications is described in highly abstract terms and gussied up with pretty equations such that no one reading the "explanation" would even suspect there are practical applications.

What can we do -- at that article and others -- to help our readers realize that such information is useful in real life? --DavidCary (talk) 23:55, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
