Comments on Purple Dot in Magnetic Sail[edit]

Hi,

Still trying to understand your comment regarding the "purple dot" in magnetic sail. It may be that your browser and/or its settings may not be compatible with the animated GIF used in the illustration, which I changed to animation. If you are seeing only the first image in the animation sequence, then your comments make more sense to me. I changed illustration to animationand summarized the sequence of images with colors and descriptions of the images.

A few questions to help me better understand your issue. Are you seeing an animation, or just a static "purple dot?" What happens when you click on the image? Dmcdysan (talk) 16:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see an animation; I do not remember seeing it before, but that's not the point. My complaint is that, sans parenthesis or at least comma, the illustration is presented as a defining feature of the drive. It's the difference between "Persons listed below are eligible" and "Persons fitting [description], listed below, are eligible." —Tamfang (talk) 21:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for confirming that you see the animation. I believe that more than a comma or parentheses is needed and a more extensive wording change is needed. I will make another attempt to address your point and post to the magnetic sail talk page. Dmcdysan (talk) 20:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undoing a series of disruptive edits[edit]

You asked about undoing a series of bad edits. This is how

  1. Use the View history tab to identify the last good version and the last of the disruptive edits, then Compare versions
  2. Use either the [restore this version] on the left pane or the undo on the right.

If editing on mobile it is a bit more painful but essentially you choose the history tab too but then you select the last good version and do a null edit on that.

If you need to do it a lot, you might want to request WP:ROLLBACK privilege. I've never bothered. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was given Rollback long ago (unrequested), but the series in question did not include the last edit, so no rollback. —Tamfang (talk) 17:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
