Circles of latitude experiment.

I have boldly merged the northernmost five freestanding circles of latitude into Circles of latitude between the 80th parallel north and the 85th parallel north. It could be refined further, but I think this works as a model. BD2412 T 03:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went with a much bigger swath for Circles of latitude between the 55th parallel south and the 80th parallel south because the entire band is pretty much nothing but ocean and Antarctica. I don't think there is any other set of circles of latitude for which this would be justified. BD2412 T 03:38, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MediaWiki internal errors

Hi, don't know how closely you watch the Village Pump, but did you see this thread? It's happening to me again this morning, so I just checked in on T389734 to check on their progress in tracking it down. Looks like a bug in the GNU C Library glibc was found and reported. But, a couple days ago, the comment A likely cause for the increase in exception rate in February is this edit. I just thought you would like to know. I recall how, nearly 30 years ago now, I ran code that crashed my company's mainframes. Applications guys aren't supposed to ever be able to do that! I'm in awe of the systems guys' debugging work in that thread. wbm1058 (talk) 13:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbm1058 Wow, I never wouldn't imagined that the full descriptions for each tag would be loaded every time the drop-down of tag names was populated, never mind being parsed. --Ahecht (TALK

Look if you're all upset about an edit on the page regarding her legacy status. Have the page locked. Till then stop removing it. Cwall48 (talk) 17:34, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwall48 please discuss changes to the article on it's talk page rather than edit warring. --Ahecht (TALK
