Hi Jkshapiro! What kind of development do you do? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 11:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 
: Actually the more I learn about front end development the more I realise I don't actually do it. I do have a programming background and I can slap together enough Javascript to create pretty decent prototypes, but when you start getting into intermediate stuff like MVC frameworks or the shadow DOM I lose interest. Really what I am professionally is a very good interaction designer with some decent skills in related areas such as prototype development, business analysis, and project management. I'll update my user page; thanks for the prompt. [[User:Jkshapiro|Jkshapiro]] ([[User talk:Jkshapiro|talk]]) 13:22, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

==Hairbun, girl or not==
Hi Jkshapiro. I have made a comment in your [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Rename_Hair_Bun_Girl|proposal]] and also reinserted a note in the [[Hairbun]] section. I think that it is prudent given that you did not get any replies that agreed with your proposed change from any one else but me. As I already said I do not mind, but many people now know of her as [[Hair Bun Girl]] and might be confused. So at least for the time being there should still be a note. Also I will make a change to her page to explain that she was originally named Hair Bun Girl. Good luck with the massive job of changing her name all along the way. I have used it quite a lot in my huge effort to explain [[1608: Hoverboard]]. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:07, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

== Glacier Movement ==
 
 
 
Hi, you have edited that a glacier moves at 1 metre/day, instead of 25cm/day as the explanation mentioned earlier. Your information is directly from the Wikipedia article, but that article links a source that says 25cm, which I think is quite confusing. Did you just check the wikipedia article, or do you have other sources that say 1m? I do not want to edit back and forth on this... --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 07:06, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 
: It's a fair cop. Yes, that's exactly what I did and your point is a good one. Will fix here, and I've updated Wikipedia too. Thank you for the personal contact, much appreciated, and would be happy to continue dialogue as necessary. [[User:Jkshapiro|Jkshapiro]] ([[User talk:Jkshapiro|talk]]) 15:22, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 
::Thanks for the edit, especially for the Wikipedia one. I am not registered to Wikipedia, so I didn't do the change there, when I first checked their source (as the 1m seemed pretty fast to me). --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 09:40, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Omitting words ==
 
 
 
That's [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2552:_The_Last_Molecule&diff=prev&oldid=300696 a lot of words to 'omit']... You've every right to rewrite, but seems like a bit dismissive of things that (insofar as I'm concerned) looked relevent/related. If it had been an anonymous editor (like me, yes), I'd have probably undone the change thinking it was excessive for a not particularly current and active article seemingly just randomly edited down. As it is, I thought I'd make this note instead to express my initial reaction (and then leave it). [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.186|172.71.178.186]] 07:00, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 
: Fair enough, the comment was a bit flippant. Thank you for the reality check. As far as the timeliness, there's no significance, I'm just really behind on all my reading. [[User:Jkshapiro|Jkshapiro]] ([[User talk:Jkshapiro|talk]]) 02:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Why upload the non-2x version into the 2x version spot? ==
 
 
 
I've checked and, [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:physical_quantities_2x.png your uploaded 2x version] now seems to be the https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/physical_quantities.png and not https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/physical_quantities_2x.png - and I can't work out why you did this. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.194.205|172.69.194.205]] 18:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 
 
 
: Because I don't know what I'm doing :-). May I humbly ask your help in fixing it? [[User:Jkshapiro|Jkshapiro]] ([[User talk:Jkshapiro|talk]]) 00:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Well, I can't (one of the disadvantages of remaining an IP), but you can reupload the correct version in a similar way to that which you did it the other way, or have some other established user do it. Glad to see that I wasn't missing the point (I had my doubts...), and clearly you've learnt something, so all's good. Or will be... ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.71.242.29|172.71.242.29]] 14:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::Looks like asdf took care of it. I uploaded the non-2x version into what I think is the right place though. Thank you for your help. [[User:Jkshapiro|Jkshapiro]] ([[User talk:Jkshapiro|talk]]) 00:27, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
