Hi, I was surprised when Fæ named me as the person who got reverted. Turns out it isn't me. The whole sequence of events should be summarised thus:
1. Pharos added the original WLL (Wikipedia Loves Libraries) notice on 15 August http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Geonotice.js&diff=prev&oldid=444994376 2. Jalexander reverted on 16 August, citing a comment by Philippe. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3AGeonotice.js&action=historysubmit&diff=445104210&oldid=444994376 3. Pharos reverted again on the same day. The geonotice stayed. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Geonotice.js&diff=next&oldid=445104210 4. Aude updated the WLL notice on 6 September. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Geonotice.js&diff=prev&oldid=448767021 5. Philippe took down all WLL geonotices today. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3AGeonotice.js&action=historysubmit&diff=454347327&oldid=454207279 *No UK geonotices were involved in this incident*. However, since the UK community is a major user of en.wp geonotices, I do recommend that we participate in the discussion Fæ initiated on the talk-page.
