Hello! Thanks for your useful contributions to the list of photographic abbreviations, which I started some months ago. For a long time I seemed to be the only one working on it. I'm glad to have other expertise to enlarge it and correct errors. I set up the list when returning to serious photography in the digital age, after a long absence from 35mm film photography. I found the numerous abbreviations that were bandied about on the digital discussion groups baffling, so I began to list them, partly to educate myself, and partly because newcomers like myself seemed not to have easy access to listed explanations. All help welcome! martinev (talk) 13:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Matthias. I think you have not really understood the implications of fully including Pentax Q into the MILC cathegory. In fact, MILCs were originally designed "to provide SRL-like image in a small body", whereas - due to its sensor - Pentax Q is just a "compact camera with interchangeable lenses", with no image-quality advantage over remaining compact cameras. Therefore, by including it in MILCS you are actually changing the original definition of MILCs !! A very vague and poor definition, I agree, because no reference to a "large sensor" is contained in the MILC acronim. Nonetheless if you want to use MILC for what it literally means, and apply it to all mirrorless interchangeable-lenses cameras, you can not stop by editing the introduction: you have to edit all subsequent paragraphs stating that MILCs provide a better image than compact camera do !! Not all "your MILCs" do !! So either you proceed to editing the whole article, or it should be reverted to its previous state. Now it is contradictory and false.

Hi Matthiaspaul. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm X 20:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for replying. I consider the community's concern over this very serious issue of copyvio. I know many of my course mates have done that which is really sad. I apolozise on their behalf. But I dont understand the need of removing my contents entirely from the page even when it was not a confirmed copyvio. I mean what will I show to my instructor? My project deadline has also elapsed. Please tell me what should I do. Also our instructor has informed has to stop all the further edits on wikipedia. I guess this answers your question.

I gave an explanation, in the first parameter of {{prod}}: in my opinion, the articles I tagged did not meet the notability criteria. Maybe I should have been somewhat more verbose: I could not find significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources, and I seriously doubt one could find any (and by the way, "Doscore" most probably has been created in violation of WP:COI, but I decided not to bring this up; failing to be notable should be enough). After all, if the articles' subjects were notable, adding reliable sources to them would be easy, right? But that is precisely what you did not do, even though the burden of proof on whether content is verifiable lies with the one who claims it is. So I think removal of these tags is even less warranted, and correct me if I'm wrong, but given your edit summary, it seems to me simply as an act of spite. As for having "an agenda to have lots of articles deleted" - well, yes, I am a deletionist. And an immediatist too. And I just happened to stumble across several pages that in my opinion were not worthy of inclusion. What should I wait for before proposing each of them for deletion? Thank you for your attention. 212.87.13.73 (talk) 22:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I'm writing to request a favor. The India Education Program pilot is concluding in Pune, India. It has been extraordinarily challenging and a series of learnings have emerged from the pilot that we intend to take on board to inform the way forward. I had promised an honest, open and comprehensive review. There are multiple ways that we are trying to collate and distill these learnings. One of these is that the Foundation has commissioned a study to do in depth interviews with a wide variety of folks who were directly or indirectly involved in the pilot. The include discussions with students, Ambassadors, faculty as well as members of the global community such as yourself. I thought it would be really particularly useful if we could get your views. You have been involved in the project (albeit not as part of the formal project structure.) I thank you for your involvement. You have made some interesting and insightful comments in the discussions you have participated in. Would you be willing and available for the person working on this study so that she can get your feedback and suggestions and comments? If so, would you let me know on my talk page? Do also let me know how I can have her reach out to you. Many thanks in advance. Hisham (talk) 10:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder. But the moment I've seen your changes at the exFAT page [been also reading about the confusion in terms a while ago] I took care of it. The word "FAT64" doesn't exist at my website anymore. ;-)I've also changed the URL to point to http://www.mdgx.com/secrets.htm#XFAT [I've updated the URI at the wiki page too ;-)], and the section title now reads exFAT.BTW... exFAT *is* for all intents and purposes Microsoft's "next gen" FAT32 [that's why was also called FAT64 when it was released] for portable drives/USB sticks/SSDs/cards/cartridges. They basically fixed most FAT32 flaws + limitations, and added some NTFS/ext4/HFS features into the punch. They could have expanded/improved upon NTFS, but they chose the old FAT32 instead. ;-/ I haven't been curious to find out why (yet).Thanks for keeping us on our toes.Best wishes,MDGx☹☺ 22:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't believe if there is reference missing--211.127.229.23 (talk) 06:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Thanks for your edits and your technical knowledge of FAT32 vs exFAT, to which I defer. I have massaged the large paragraph you edited for reasons given in the change history; notably, that it seems partly to be an editorial against SDA's decision to use exFAT. This controversy is not an inappropriate subject for the article, but you should point to citations of that opinion rather than just state it as our own.
I have other clerical problems with the edits. In the first sentence of "Compatibility with SDHC," you begin, "If the card controller has been enhanced to support this...." I would at least turn this around to define "this" first. But my understanding was that the SDXC spec required host devices to support older cards. If this is untrue--if it allows "dual compatibility" host devices--then your change to the sentence is to say "Host devices either do or they don't" and it would be better to say nothing.
And in the last sentence, "on protocol level" confuses me. The sentence already said that choice of the file system is the problem, and protocol-level support doesn't matter if the gadget won't work. Spike-from-NH (talk) 12:30, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reverting the undo of SDSC; Sbmeirow noted that SDSC is used in the specs in the article's talk page. Separately, I will revert your change that made conditional the assertion at the start of "Compatibility with SDHC". In addition to my vague citation on Sbmeirow's talk page, Simplified Physical Layer v3.01 says "Hosts that can access...SD memory cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB and up to 2 TB [that is, SDXC], shall also be able to access SD memory cards with a capacity of 32 GB or less." Sec. 3.3.2, Note 3. You have made the case that a decision to embrace exFAT would be problematic; but that would seem to be the only issue in the way of backward-compatibility of host devices. Spike-from-NH (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I understand why you changed "dominant" to "wide-spread" [sic] at the end of the article's first paragraph. But the softened result says almost nothing. As the clause's only function was to provide an official interpretation for the statistics that preceded it, I just removed it entirely--sticking in a comment that, if someone wants to point to an authoritative interpretation of SD's dominance, they should reinsert it, but with citations.
I do not like the implication you reinserted that, essentially, SDA had no good reason to go with exFAT and should have stuck with FAT32. I tend to agree with the conclusion but the language seems judgemental. If the assertion is correct that FAT32 above 32 GB would be legal but wouldn't be supported by Windows, that is a huge reason not to go with it.
Your tagging stuff with {fact} goes against what I thought I knew, but I could be wrong. There are also grammar and organizational things about your edits left to fix. Spike-from-NH (talk) 17:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your new material on partition type needs refinement. SDHC "Capacity smaller than 8 GB" and "Capacity larger than 8 GB" leaves ambiguous what you do when the capacity is exactly 8 GB. Likewise, above it, "between 16 MB and 32 MB" may want additional words to ensure that the endpoints are included.
Separately, what type to declare a partition as, for best results under a given OS, doesn't seem specific to SD and might want to be located in a different article. Spike-from-NH (talk) 12:47, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
I don't understand why you've reinserted numerous comments of the format <!-- NB. The header "FAT16B" is used in redirects to this page. -->: these are superfluous because that's implied by {{anchor}} anyway, or simply by the header itself for #FAT32 (though I goofed on adding an anchor there). Additionally, the one for exFAT is simply wrong: there should be no redirects to File Allocation Table#exFAT, as they should instead point directly at the separate article.
<!-- NB. The header "FAT16B" is used in redirects to this page. -->

Hi! I just signed in after a long Wiki hiatus and saw your message regarding my user page for Pat Villani.
You're welcome to merge any information there into the current Pat Villani article, although you seem to have done a great job of expanding the article already, so I don't think my little user page would be of any help anymore.
I also wanted to let you know that I am actually Pat Villani's daughter, and there are a few small errors and unverified facts in the current article that I can either correct or confirm as true -- however, using myself as a source would certainly run afoul of Wikipedia:No original research.

Hi. Following the change you made to the introductory wording of the Bap (German band) article here, you don't think that people reading this article will now assume that the band's name is an acronym pronounced "B-A-P" in the same way as bands such as AKB48, AC/DC, KRS-One, UB40, and UFO (band)? I suggest you have a look at the articles for Kiss (band), Chemistry (band), Exile (Japanese band), and Glay, as these are all good examples of articles for bands that normally write their names stylistically in all-caps, but which correctly follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines laid out at WP:MOSTM.

My original question raised on Asmpgmr's talk page was: "Request to help solve a little mystery: Byte value 69h at offset 0 in boot sectors of FAT12 or FAT16 floppies?
Perhaps you are like me and love to solve miracles when you stumble upon them. Out of historical interest it is sometimes enlightening to know why developers chose certain "magic" values in their software. There is one question I could not answer myself and it occured to me that you might know the answer (or know those to ask, who do know the answer), so I'll give it a try:
When DOS logs in a disk volume, it checks for the presence of certain byte patterns at offsets +0..+2 in the boot sector before assuming that a BPB is present (there are additional sanity checks, but I will leave them out here for clarity - you certainly know about them as much as I do): Since DOS 2.0 valid x86-bootable disks must start with either a short jump followed by a NOP (opstring EBh ??h 90h with DOS 1.1 and again since DOS 3.0) or a near jump (E9h ??h ??h on DOS 2.x disks). On hard disks, DR-DOS also accepts the swapped JMPS sequence starting with a NOP (90h EBh ??h), whereas MS-DOS/PC DOS do not. On removable disks, MS-DOS/PC DOS and DR-DOS also accept a sequence of 69h ??h ??h. This is also documented in at least one book (DOS Internals by Geoff Chappell), unfortunately without mentioning what this 69h byte or sequence is for. So here's my question:
What is it? Is it an opcode sequence as well (possibly even a jump?), but then, for which type of CPU? Since this does not appear to be a valid x86 opcode (in a startup sequence of a boot sector, that is, and possibly even a startup code, which must not run into the BPB following a few bytes later), I also checked other options and directions: Could this have been some undocumented opcode in early x86 CPUs or in CPU prototypes, is it an opcode supported by the NEC V20/V30 etc. series (perhaps in emulation mode)? Is this an artefact retrofitted for 86-DOS? Microsoft at one time had MSX-DOS which ran on 8080/Z80 CPUs, and there were dual-processor variants (for 8080/8086) of Digital Research's Concurrent DOS 8-16, which supported DOS file systems as well. Actually, there even was a Concurrent DOS 68K for Motorola 68000 CPUs. And the Atari ST series supported FAT12/FAT16 as well. IBM had a PC-like machine named RT, using a ROMP processor. And early versions of Microsoft's Windows NT supported other platforms as well... I might have overlooked something, but so far I could not find an opcode in any CPU class I know to support FAT file systems at about the DOS timeframe which would make much sense in this specific location. So, is it an opcode at all or a signature for something else? Or has bit 7 been stripped off (E9h -> 69h) for some odd reason? Perhaps you know the answer or can at least track this back in time and into either Microsoft or IBM in order to narrow down the possibly interpretations for this strange 69h magic? Thanks. ;-) --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)"[reply]

For the article, you said: "there are high-end 35mm film cameras, which are *much* smaller, for example the TC-1".
However, what you overlooked was that the article states: "world's smallest full-frame DIGITAL camera" and not "world's smallest full-frame FILM camera".

The original references given for the Canon Pellix article are those used and needed writing this article as required for any Wikipedia contribution. The actual Minolta book used was the Minolta's Kamera Technik …, published in 1990. Any misrepresentation of this information or reference to any other edition cannot be given as the original source for the article. I have not to my knowledge given incomplete information, nor do I promote wrong German. The book title is the responsibility of the authors, not mine. By changing the references, or part thereof, the list is no longer valid. The criteria given for editing the References are irrelevant and a violation of my obligation to provide verifiable information.
To remove a book listed as used for the article and add another is messing with my evidence for verifiability. If a relevant list of books can be provided, that is where such a book may be added..

Hello Mr.Matthias, on one hand I see you point that a list of famous biryani vendors doesn't belong in an encylopedia. By the same standard, something like a famous jeweller Tiffany_&_Co. or even apple computers don't belong in a encyclopedia. IMO, as long as the list is limited to established and famous places, it is acting as a knowledge reference (as opposed to a commercial hoarding). For example, this list would be of help to someone who is researching the authentic biryani styles of different regions. If you would like to re-evaluate the reversal, I would like to thank for your time. Either way, have a nice day! Curlybraces (talk) 18:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed your posting on the FAT and the NCR machines. I had remembered the model as 8200 or 8500. I looked at NCR models and looks like it it was the 7520. I implemented it on a 7200 which had the added double 8 inch floppy box so we didn't get an actual 7520 but the new card and hardware. Both machines had 8080 processors. The FAT structure was only on the machine in conjunction was Basic. StandAlone Disk Basic was the exact same file format. -- Marc McDonald (MarcMcd)

Hello, Matthias
I hope I am not bothering you but I feel it is high time we convened about the edits in master boot record article because apparently we have trouble understanding the purpose of one another. (I certainly have; one of your edit summaries says you are not sure.)
In my 12:17, 19 April 2013 edit, I:
Reflinks itself removed underscore (_) from anchors.
Then I saw your 22:01, 19 April 2013 edit. There was things in it that I was not sure you intended to be there, only I could not tell which. (I was sure that TOC marker, for instance, is not intended.) But your edit summary told me that you prefer <tt> tag back. So, I made 09:30, 20 April 2013 and 09:36, 20 April 2013 edits: I reverted to Yobot version, where I thought to be the least disputed instance, and repeated my edit list except item #2.
I thought that should take care of our little dispute but wasn't I wrong? I am not sure what this part of edit summary means: "I am reformatting templates again so they don't have dangling SPACEs (which is technically bad)". What I see are line breaks before each parameter (which I neither support nor oppose) and |author= parameters being broken into |first= and |last= (which I appreciate). Is there anything else that I missed?

Hi Matthiaspaul,
I wanted to let you know that I recently reversed two of your edits, one to binary number and the other to hexadecimal. In both cases, you added a remark about the words "Intel convention" and "Motorola convention". I don't know whether these usages are common (I'm a mathematician), but I couldn't find any reference using the quoted phrases. In the hexadecimal article, I thought the comment was redundant, since the paragraph already mentions in both cases where the convention is used; in the binary number article, an explanation like the one at hexadecimal would be valuable, especially with citations. Unfortunately (as I noted) I don't really know anything about this topic and so don't know what sort of reliable source would have this kind of information.

I must hurry, so I apologize for the curt and crude message in advance. About this: [2]. Perhaps you already know that unreferenced contributions in Wikipedia may be contested or removed. I have already registered an objection to 82.236.210.11's crude edit summaries in his talk page but per Wikipedia policies, no one should reinstate his removals without providing a source that affirms the disputed statement.
In fact, I myself really want to see an evidence for the assertion that Windows 9x was DOS-based.
Best regards,Codename Lisa (talk) 08:25, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I hope I am not bothering you but I thought I give you a note about my BRDing your edit in Windows 95. You have written "On startup, the MS-DOS component in Windows 95". For the time being, I assume it is completely true from technical standpoint. However, from the linguistic standpoint, it is not. In other words, this is not how people speak (or write). "MS-DOS component in Windows 95" can refer to a lot of things, including COMMAND.COM and Command Prompt. So, your sentence is at best vague, if not strange. Just for testing it, I showed your sentence to my brother and indeed he thought he should press F8 after Windows 95 welcome screen appeared and that he has a huge window of opportunity for doing so before desktop appears. (What reinforced his interpretation was that the paragraph later talked about "exiting to DOS" which only happens when Windows 95 is running.) However, boot loader is often associated with the menu that allows them to choose an operating system. It proved more successful because it implied that F8 must be pressed before operating system start.
I remember Richard Stallman trying to convince people to start saying "photoshoping it" and instead say "GIMPing it" when they talk about doctoring an image. He was unsuccessful because he failed to comprehend that language is not a matter of ultimate technical accuracy: Words are coined in the language, but then their meaning evolves while their form eludes change. So, yes, maybe the Windows 95 boot loader code is MS-DOS code as you say (technical correct), but article writing is a matter of proper combination of accuracy, naturalness and emotional response. It is a matter of writing what people understand, not what one editor deems technically most correct.

Thanks for the code corrections for the Intel 8086. And yes, the code is meant to illustrate the various kinds of opcodes available to the CPU, and is not meant to be the most optimal assembler code. I could have written more efficient code, but the result would not be as easily understood by novices and people (like me) who just want to see a small, fairly easy to understand sample of what the code looks like for the CPU. I've added short code examples to other articles (8008, 6800, 6502, 8080, Z80), which could use another pair of eyes for correctness. My goal is to eventually have a short code example in all of the major historical CPU articles (e.g., IBM 360, IBM 370, PDP-8, PDP-10, PDP-11, 4004, 6809, Z8000, 80386, etc.). — Loadmaster (talk) 04:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only place where I saw different layouts was the laboratory at the math and computer science department where I was attending, which used US keyboards (that are QWERTY too by the way) and were later replaced with normal Italian QWERTY keyboards. So could you show me your source? And is it recent? Look at this italian made typewriter. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Olivetti_Lettera_32_(2).jpg

Hello, Matthiaspaul. When you moved Convertible to a new title and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:
It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Convertible" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:57, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that I disagree with redirecting System Manager to System Administrator, it's that I disagree that there should be a link to "Datapac Multiuser DOS and System Manager" at the top of the page. That's an empty section of an almost-entirely inconsequential piece of software.
If we're going to have that, why not this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Web-based_System_Manager
or this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PureSystems
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Manager_7#System_Manager
Does "System Manager" need a disambiguation page? -- User:StandaloneSA, 2013-07-03T16:26:42
Hello, Paul
I hope I am not bothering you but I wanted to give you a notice about one of your edits in Virtual DOS machine. I partially reverted your edit (not all of it) and started a discussion at Talk:Virtual DOS machine § Support on 64-bit (again) where you can discuss or defend your edit and achieve a consensus or compromise, if you wish. I must say in advance that your cooperative spirit is much appreciated.
However, the main reason that I called you is because I used Wikipedia:VisualEditor. You see, you have a habit of manicuring the references which has no impact on the final rendering. I certainly do not spend my time doing such a thing but your time is yours. Now, VisualEditor does not respect that. If anyone change a single typo in the article or add a space character, VisualEditor will flatten your edits. This is notice meant to make your ready not to be caught by surprise if you see an edit diff is dramatic.

Look I understand you spent a good deal of time adding all those boot sector codes to the FAT article. To the point... it is overly technical. You can create the technical specs redirect if you want to claim credit for a new wiki.
Senior editor made comment atop wiki for a reason.
Fix the fucking article. It reads like shit with the superfluous boot sector graphs and overly detailed information. It's like fitting Stevie Wonder's biography into an article. What's the point?

Hi, I noticed you undid the changes/improvements I made to the article, which costed me a considerable effort. I think I must have Wikified over 10.000 articles (in multiple projects) but I never experienced such a waist of space in the reference section, as you created around the "excerpt of the BDOS.PLM file header". If this illustration is that important, can you move it into the article, and explain it some more?
Also it seems you have hidden three quotes in the reference section (see here), which are rather difficult to read. There is a sort of standard to present those kind of quotes; mainly in Wikiquote (When available in Wikipedia, they are most of the time moved to Wikiquote).
-- Mdd (talk) 18:09, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you re-add the "from misspelling" category to EXIF? It is technically an incorrect capitalization but correct spelling of the abbreviation (that is, it contains the same letters in the same order as "Exif," but just the capitalization differs). Or is there a convention within Wikipedia that a miscapitalized abbreviation is considered a misspelling? Or did I miss something else entirely?
(In case the lack of the word "incorrect" in the template confused you: {{r from incorrect capitalization}} redirects to {{r from other capitalisation}}, so I decided to use the latter directly.) --SoledadKabocha (talk) 00:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
{{r from incorrect capitalization}}
{{r from other capitalisation}}
I have already told you once but it seems I need to remind you again: Tools, gadgets and VisualEditor like WikiEd, Twinkle, ProveIt!, etc. may automatically do edits like flattening citations (removing line breaks between cite templates) and removing underscore. What you reverted here, is one of those edits.
I do not mind if you revert such minor edits again and again and again; you are the owner of your time and I do not judge you if you feel such edits are not wasting it. In fact, I respect it. But then, you should expect comments like "Please spell anchors as they are defined instead of unnecessarily changing underscores to spaces or vice versa" to fall on deaf ears. Editors do not always have control over the tools' optimizations and even if they had, it is at their discretion not to disturb them. After all, it is not wrong.

Hello Matthiaspaul, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Serial ata, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This would not be an uncontroversial deletion. Redirects from alternate capitalizations are common. Moreover, this page is visited quite frequently (http://stats.grok.se/en/latest30/Serial_ata), meaning people are in fact using this redirect to navigate. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you.

You have restored non-breaking spaces in File Allocation Table claiming it solves an Orphan (typesetting) problem. Orphans are associated with page breaks. There are no page breaks online.

I have done my best to revert these edits of yours to produce massive disambiguation pages regarding alternate names for a bunch of cameras which are not the name that they are best known by in the English language. There is no point to make disambiguation pages just to fill them to the brim with invalid redirects.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 12:09, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit to two things, my friend: I am old, and I am not technically the most clever person. What this means is that I remember the remote past, when the search box wasn't so handy with varied capitalizations. It also means that I tend to be conservative on deleting redirects, because they are "cheap", and -- as a general rule -- their existence does more good than harm for reader navigation (provided they are accurate and unbroken, of course.) I go by the book: I look to see if the reason for deletion comports with guidelines. I also consider whether the reason for deletion is actually discouraged by guidelines. In this case, while your request (as you've now explained it) sounds fine, I don't see your rationale supported within the guideline. I do see that your rationale might be contradicted by points 1, 2 and 5 of "reasons not to delete redirects."
Let me be clear: I really have no passionate opinion about this. You may well be very right. However, given my reading of the guidelines, I still don't think these are speedy deletion cases. I'm afraid you'll have to list them at RfD, where multiple expert eyes can examine the problem. I really am sorry; I always feel silly discussing such small matters as if they were grave. Still, according to the letter of the guideline, these redirects strike me as more helpful than harmful. Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 16:23, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I want to inform you that I have reverted your cut-and-paste move of the contents of Alpha Five to Alpha 5.

When DOS 2 was being developed, attempting to "support multiple processes or users, use other filesystems than FAT or to share files over networks" was all three or more years down the road. Those features weren't included in DOS 2, and I'm not aware that there was ever any intention to include them. The obsoletion of FCBs was not an immediate strict direct necessary consequence of adding subdirectories, but the two did go together, since using FCBs only allows you to access files in the current default directory on each drive. FCBs could not have been a convenient and useful part of a general set of system calls for dealing with files in a system of hierarchically-nested directories without somewhat radical reformulation...

In Comparison of command shells, General characteristics, you should explain what console redirection is.

Hi.
Are you trying to make me kill myself by boring me out of reading? (; There is no reason to repeat the same sentence three times and it is absolutely vital not write technical details that the editor does not need to know for editing.
Now, there are parts of your edit that directly contradicts common practice. I and many others (see above, your own talk page) have told you several times that Wikipedia does not care what others do; hence, adopting what others do needs community-wide consensus. Please take them to talk page. On a sidenote, it appears that a slight problem with FreeDOS DNS address has shaken you so badly that you are dramatically changing a MoS!

Hi Matthiaspaul. Re this edit. I agree that Dioptrics is conceptually relevant and should stay. In general, semantic and linguistic relationships are completely irrelevant for See also links. This is because Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. More specifically, the topic of an article is not the title of the article. The topic of an article is the thing that the title describes. Things that have a linguistic relationship to the article title but not a conceptual relationship to the actual topic of the article are completely irrelevant. It's not a matter of degree. --Srleffler (talk) 19:59, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I reverted the addition[15] of "historically also known as catadiopter or catadioptre" because the statement is not supported by reference given, it is not a historical treatise on etymology and simply shows someone using one of the words. Wikipedia is not a dictionary where we see a word used and then try to come up with a definition and doing so is very much original research by Wikipedia standards. I have looked for a usable definition and have failed, it keeps coming up as a foreign language term or being used by what may be non-English speakers[16] (they may be misusing the word).

Thank you for your extensive cleanup of the references and for taking out the factually incorrect statements concerning the "definition" of RPL which I had marked dubious. :)
I didn't intend to make the introduction overly verbose (although it became so), but instead I was trying to make it clear that the "RPL" acronym doesn't really "officially" expand to anything, although it's commonly expanded to Reverse Polish Lisp -- thank you for changing "stands for" to "derived from". :)
If it's ok with you, I'd like to at least include a footnote reference, which is already included in the references, but is obscured -- if it had its own "== Notes ==" section, with the quote by Wickes, then I think there'd be less confusion concerning any "controversies" surrounding the "definition" of the "RPL" acronym. If you don't think this is a good idea, then that's fine -- just a suggestion. :)

A long time ago, in a galaxy^W^W^Won a coast far far away, I interviewed at a company called "Cadmus Computer Systems", located in Lowell, Massachusetts; that company had a line of 68k-based Unix workstations (I have vague memories of interviewing at some company, possibly Massachusetts-based, possibly during the same trip, who had a "Unix-like" operating system in the old sense, i.e. a system that wasn't a Unix-compatible system, but that was "like" Unix in its APIs, but I might be misremembering). Was that company connected with Periphere Computer Systeme, and what was the connection? Cadmus (computer) redirects to Periphere Computer Systeme#Cadmus, but Periphere Computer Systeme doesn't contain the word "Cadmus" anywhere other than in the "See also" section, so that's not a very enlightening redirect.

You appear to have categorized these redirects as {{R from misspelling}}, but I see no evidence that Wikipedia currently considers word-spacing and punctuation variants to be "misspellings." In other words, such differences are not generally bad enough to be unprintworthy, as they are instead mentioned in {{R from modification}}, which makes no claim to printability:
{{R from misspelling}}
{{R from modification}}
"This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title; for example, its words are rearranged, or punctuation in the name is changed" (emphasis mine).
Even if these redirects were unprintworthy, there would be other Rcats more suitable, in particular {{R from incorrect name}}. That covers names that have been officially declared by the subject of the article to be incorrect, but your edit summaries don't quite seem to make that case.
{{R from incorrect name}}
Does this make sense here? Or could you explain why R from misspelling is nevertheless more appropriate than R from modification or any other Rcat for these specific redirects? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 05:26, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

"Added ref. Started to move refs into references section for easier maintenance"
Do we have to do that? To me, it makes maintenance harder. If you want to edit the refs as well as the text for a section you have to edit the entire article (instead of just the section) and then go back and forth between the two. I just don't see the advantage over having the refs in-line. Jeh (talk) 18:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was misled by the emphasis in the NIST guide. That the more regular forms ("kiloohm" rather than "kilohm", etc.) are standard is very welcome information. However, the reference [6][1] in that guide does not seem to be readily accessible. Would you know how to access its text? This would be valuable in how the article Ohm addresses this, and in what we consider the appropriate form in articles in WP generally. —Quondum 14:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit changed the definition of the FD acronym "ED" from "Extended Density" to "Extra high Density". Google searches turn up a lot of both and I even found an "Extra Density." I did check the ECMA standard but it provided no guideance as to label. I tend to favor "Extended Density" given IBM seems to have used it in some of their product literature and they were an early if not first user (some say Apple). Absent some introductory product literature from the early drive and media vendors I think we have to go with both in Wikipedia. Any thoughts? Tom94022 (talk) 07:14, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Matthiaspaul. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

A tag has been placed on Unibit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Hi Matthiaspaul - I see you've accepted some of my changes and rejected others, but I don't see why. You've insisted on retaining the wikilinked publisher in several cases, despite the recommendations at Template:Cite journal#Publisher and Template:Cite book#Publisher.
Name of publisher; may be wikilinked if relevant. The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website). Not normally used for periodicals.
(my emphasis)
The guidelines recommend against these things for the simple reason that they're useless. The purpose of a citation is to allow a reader to verify a statement in an article. For that, they need to be able to locate the source; the publisher of a periodical does not help them with that. For a book, the publisher may be helpful, but there is no benefit in wikilinking it. Under what circumstances can you imagine a reader who's checking a reference wanting to click on any of those publisher links?
In the specific case of "Academic Press, Inc. (AP Professional)", the second link is in fact a redirect to the first. Neither link offers any benefit to a reader, but the first is redundant anyway.
(And BTW, work and website parameters are synonyms - there's no difference in the way the template treats them.) Colonies Chris (talk) 11:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

The PDP-10 had binary floating point, not radix 8 as your edit claims. Also, I don't believe "octal floating-point" is a standard name for "base 8 floating point". See [21], for example.

Matthias, since you reverted my hyphen removal move at E-series of preferred numbers, I did some more looking for sources, to see whether authorities would support this odd hyphen over normal English punctuation conventions. I found one standard that suggests I had it right: IEC 60063. And no shortage of other uses without the odd comma: [22], [23], [24]. The hyphen would make sense in things like "E-series numbers" or "E-series preferred numbers" where the compound noun "E series" is being used as a modifier, but not otherwise (though many sources do get this wrong, I agree). What's your thinking on why it was "proper" with the hyphen? Dicklyon (talk) 16:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Matthiaspaul. When you moved T-Series to a new title and then changed the old title from a redirect into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

An article you recently created, Matthias Paul (actor), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:
Hello Matthiaspaul,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi, sorry to bother you. You made an edit to a deletion discussion (namely this one), but for whatever reason, I got pinged... Any ideas why this is? I can't see a mention in the diff at all.

Hi! In PTS-DOS article you mentioned a « Source DOS » named S/DOS 1.0 and you said it was « open source », do you have any reference to that?

hi, thanks for your work on sources and formatting at Greta Thunberg. Just curious, why do you think we should use one date format in the body and another in references? I don't care which we use, but going back and forth is difficult. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 17:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning your edit Special:Diff/912554909, I think that "eˣ-1" should be replaced by "eˣ−1", i.e. with a true minus character, like in −1.
Moreover, shouldn't "sin (trigonometry)" be "sin (mathematical function)" like for sinh? Ditto for cos, tan, arcsin, arccos and arctan. I think these are more general than the domain of trigonometry, in particular when considering their similarity with the hyperbolic variant with complex arguments. Or perhaps "sin function", etc., like one has gamma function and lots of other examples in the "Special functions" category.

Hola thanks for adding refs to the Hambach_Forest#Large_demonstration_(October_2018) section. To be honest I'm still not impressed by the list, but if its referenced I don't have a problem with it. I was wondering, do you have references for the Hambach_Forest#Arrests_of_activists_(spring_of_2018) section? Right now it has nothing, I had a look around but I didn't find much. Maybe it's original research or maybe the sources exist, possibly in german only. Anyway sorry we met like this, but like you I'm eager to make this article better!

The article .sch (file extension) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The article is a list of indiscriminate items; it lists six unrelated apps, all of which use the same three letters for their otherwise unrelated file formats.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. flowing dreams (talk page) 05:27, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 859 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action. Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays. Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox. Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

I notice that you have been making a number of edits to the coronavirus series of articles using the edit summary "4-digit years per MOS". I would ask you please exercise care and be sure that your understanding of WP:MOSNUM is correct. Whilst it is indeed correct that years should be stated in 4 digits, year ranges can and are usually stated in 4+2 format (i.e. "2019–20") except at the turn of a century (i.e. "1997–2002"). By replacing "2019–20" with "2019–2020" within those article links, you substituted correctly-formatted and correctly-linked articles with article redirects, as you see here. In many cases, you also inserted the parameter |cs1-dates=y, which was inappropriate because it is a violation of WP:RETAIN: almost all of those articles displayed date formats which were either dmy or mdy at the outset (referred to as our "first main contributor rule". It is therefore inappropriate that this be changed by inserting the parameter. Regards, -- Ohc ¡digame! 19:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are some projects going on where I think your input would be very interesting. Do you think it would be feasible for anybody to adapt another DOS so that Windows 9x could run in it? There are now other DPMI hosts that can run the original Windows 3.1. Do you think Windows 9x could be supported by a third party DPMI host as well? Here are specific issues where I imagine you'd be knowledgeable: https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2/issues/988 https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1217

I'm Nicolas from France. Sorry to bother you with another life questions. I'm building multi kernel dos bootdisks in order to test various memory managers behaviour and impact of the kernel on available memory. I cannot find other way to reach you but here. While digging the web for dr-dos, 2 questions came to my mind : 1. Regarding the dr-dos kernel file, some people talk about a 7.08 version but I cannot find anything after a 7.07, does it exist or was the 7.07 the latest version ? 2. Is there a way to have access to the 7.07 version or better of the kernel files ? The better I found was the 7.04 version of the ibmdos and ibmbios files in Dr-dos 7.05.
Thanks

Lieber Matthiaspaul, wie nett, einen Deutschen hier zu treffen. Ich finde es doch recht kompliziert, meine diesbezüglichen Fragen auf Englisch zu formulieren. Also... vor einiger Zeit hatte ich gefragt, wie man aus einem Sammelwerk zitiert in Englisch. Ich schreib hier mal, wie ich es in Deutsch mache, und wie mir gesagt wurde, es in Englisch zu machen:
|pages=5–8 [8]
|pages=50–98 [60, 66–67, 84]
|pages=50–52, 54, 57, 60–64, 67 [51, 61–62]
Matthias, I didn't mean to step on your toes when I reverted your unsourced addition, which is why I invited you to bring it back with a source (this is not hard, doesn't require a revert first -- just edit your version to add the source). Anyway, that's done. Re the Varec thing, thanks for finding those sources. It looks to me like they used an ordinary Gray code, except for skipping some states when encoding tenths and twelfths. They call it a reflected binary Gray code. Has anyone called it a Varec code? Would we be better off omitting this odd piece of equipment? Dicklyon (talk) 02:45, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:DEC printers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hi! First let me say that I really like the work you do. Every time I see one of your edits I am impressed with the quality.
Re: [33], It appears that I either need you to convince you to accept the changes WP:AutoEd makes or I need to convince Plastikspork -- the maintainer of AutoEd -- to stop making those changes. I am not willing to repeatedly manually undo AutoEd edits that I agree with. There are a large number of AutoEd users. If one of the changes AutoEd makes is wrong, we need to fix that. If they aren't wrong you need to stop reverting them.
If we cannot reach an agreement on this I can post an RfC, but I don't think that is necessary. You, I, and Plastikspork are all long-term good-faith contributors and we should be able to agree on what to do here.
BTW, I believe that Wikipedia:AutoEd/wikilinks.js is where the magic happens. --Guy Macon (talk) 01:40, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hello, Matthiaspaul,
I noticed that you were the last editor to this page. Something has happened that has caused the page to now have the category Category:CS1 errors: extra text: issue. I try to resolve red link categories which is usually done by either a) reverting an edit that caused this error, b) putting the page into the correct category, c) changing some code that causes the red link category to appear or d) create a new category. In this case, I can't figure out what the problem is or what the solution should be. I can't seem to remove this category so I'm hoping some editor familiar with the whole CS1 error situation could find a way to handle a mistaken red link category. Thank you in advance. Liz Read!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Integrated Authority File, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Renat 14:52, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So I take a look at your edit to Missouri Route 16 and see that you've changed the "accessdate" parameter to "access-date" (and similar changes to "archiveurl" and "archivedate"). That is certainly an improvement of sorts, though it has exactly zero impact on what the readers see.
So then I look through the references, and click on one, lo and behold, I get a 404! Somewhere along the way, Missouri DOT seems to have changed things around. In short (in my arguably contemptuous way), you have made changes to a totally broken set of citations while making absolutely no improvement. Sigh.

As I think it might (reasonably) be considered disruptive to pursue the issue at the cs1 talk page and append this to your well-argued comment, I'm leaving it here for you to consider or ignore as you feel best.
I had no reason to keep a note of where it was that I saw them but I have certainly seen many cases where the title page of a periodical had something like 'Winter 20/21" and, buried inside, ©2020; or "Trinity Term", again with a precise copyright date. So surely it must be some kind of OR to declare that something that is clearly intended to be the issue, may be taken as the date? It seems to me that the date is specifically and exclusively that given in the copyright assertion? And otherwise editors should infer the minimum necessary to disambiguate and no more.
My argument is not that it is too difficult to code, but rather that it is neither necessary nor appropriate to do it at all. But I recognize that this is not a shared view and I accept consensus, admittedly with bad grace.
As I said, consider the comment if you find it useful, discard if not. No need to reply. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Hi Matthias, just to elaborate on my revert of your good-faith edit at Lothar Berg, I don't think Prabook would be acceptable for any reference or external link on English Wikipedia. It fits neatly in WP:ELNO#EL12 (and somewhat 1, 6 for some of their articles, and 11) because it doesn't have any history of stability or substantial number of editors. It's only a few years old (though seems to have adopted the name/URL of an older but similarly unreliable Who's Who, based on a search of RSP), has no editorial guidelines, and seems like its purpose is to deliver as many ads as possible. I'd like it to be blacklisted, but it's mostly used by experienced good-faith editors, and infrequently enough that I can manually clean them up periodically.

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 859 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 833 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

Hi! You probably noticed that I reverted a huge delete at Logic optimization. However, Wtshymanski has a point that there are far too much references in this article. I thought of spltting of a stub for each item in Logic_optimization#Graphical_methods and Logic_optimization#Boolean_expression_minimization, just holding the references and a generic introduction, to start with. After that, we could shorten both sections of Logic_optimization, by omitting references of minor importance and/or grouping the methods (and having one item per group, not per method). Since you are (one of) the main contributor(s), I'd like to discuss that issue with you before.

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden).

I do appreciate the suggestion to add a note about fat pointers! I found some references and added a note -- they come up in relation to trait objects and slices.
It's just that -- per WP:SEEALSO -- see also really, really isn't the place for mentioning an incidentally used topic. It would be kind of like mentioning "hashmap" under See Also of C++ -- yes, hashmaps exist in C++, but it doesn't seem like a closely related topic by any principled metric, it should rather be mentioned in the section on standard library or data structures.

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

I see that you created Interwiki linkInterwiki link and Inter-wiki linkInter-wiki link as redirects to MediaWiki#Interwiki links, and Interlanguage linkInterlanguage link and Inter-language linkInter-language link as redirects to MediaWiki#Interlanguage links. I'm wondering whether you wouldn't agree that Hyperlink#Wikis is a better target for at least the first two titles, if not all four (currently it is the target of WikilinkWikilink, WikilinkedWikilinked, and WikilinkingWikilinking), since they are not limited to MediaWiki specifically. Note, by the way, that Interwiki links and Interwiki linking were both deleted last year, following one deletion discussion in 2013 that was closed as "no consensus" and then another "successful" discussion that didn't, in my opinion, adequately discuss redirecting options. Note also the existence of Wiki#Linking and creating pages as another possible target. Oh, and Interlanguage links was deleted way back in 2006 as a cross-namespace redirect. So, anyway… what do you think? - dcljr (talk) 01:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Z3 (computer) has four citations of
That's a chapter of a book by Lippe. It Might Be Nice if the book gave both chapter title and book title, with links, but, unfortunately, that book isn't at that URL any more, and {{cite book}} doesn't support archivec-chapter-url, archive-chapter-date, and chapter-url-status parameters to allow the chapter title to link to the archived version, with an "Archived from the original..." following it. (At one point, Citation bot said:
!CrossRef title did not match existing title: doi:10.1007/978-3-642-36193-7_6 > Possible new title: Die ersten programmierbaren Rechner > Existing old title: Kapitel 14 – Die ersten programmierbaren Rechner
about this, although that DOI link no longer works - Springer puts up a 404 page.)
The title section of that version of the book was here, with an archived version here. The title of that version is, on the first page, "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit"; the pages after that give "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von Antikythera bis Zuse" as a title. I'm not sure both "from antiquity to the present day" and "from Antikythera to Zuse" are used.
A Google search for the invariant part of the title :-) - "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten" - found several books; one of them was "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten. Bd. 2: Von mechanischen Chiffriergeräten bis zu den ersten programmierbaren Rechnern". I'm guessing that "Bd. 2" is something like "Vol. 2", suggesting "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten" is a series, perhaps with "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit" being the title of the entire series, and the title of that volume suggests it covers part of the history ("from mechanical encryption devices to the first programmable calculators (computers?)"), and "von Antikythera bis Zuse" also suggests it covers part of the history, although "from Antikythera to Zuse" would cover a range that partially overlaps "from mechanical encryption devices to the first programmable calculators", so perhaps the contents of the volumes have evolved over time.
So what would the right thing be to do about references to that book/series? "Leave it as it is" would be the easiest solution, but it might be an improvement if the reference were to give the title of the book or volume as well. Guy Harris (talk) 00:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
The article Specctra has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article fails WP:N and sources are wrong/not relevant to the content. Software product is already mentioned on Cadence Design Systems.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hey there. I see you posted here about a notorious problem editor Bumm13 who absolutely will not stop on the same issue of pointless messing with wikilinks and with meaninglessly self-congratulatory edit messages. When it comes to linking to DOS, he's as robotically obsessed as he is obviously wrong, and has been told countless times like by @Dgpop: here. And he still only responds by playing dumb and bratty. He's bullying you and I with WP:ICANTHEARYOU like here. He's beyond question, he ignores or derails legitimate conversation, anything is okay when he does it, all the burden is on the rest of the world, and everybody can just get lost. So I know better than to attempt any further direct and redundant engagement. There are other computer-history-minded admins who are literate about the factual wrongness in that particular case but it's perfectly obvious even in the lead section of DOS. My point here is that you mentioned pursuing desysopping or whatever sanctions in 2019 and I wondered if you're intending to follow through or if you knew that he just won't stop since then, so WP:TENDENTIOUS. Just checking. You're much more into that, you're very very good at handling all this in terms of rhetoric and policy, and have more of a history, so I await supporting it. When you do, you could ping the other people in your old thread I just linked above. In this and in general, I also thank you for your balance of profound positivity without coddling. — Smuckola(talk) 03:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi there, could I ask you not to do stuff like this? Of course if you have objections to the substance of the edits you can and should discuss those with the editor, but simply reverting because the editor is new and you don't have time to review the changes in depth seems quite bitey, and the changes appear generally positive.

A tag has been placed on @COPYLEFT ALL WRONGS RESERVED requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I don't exactly know what's happening here, but edit summaries are meant to communicate to people the type of edits you're making. Writing "CE" in to summarize edits such as this and this, edits which you are clearly not copy editing, is confusing.

The article .XIP has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP: GNG. I can't find any sources that aren't published by Apple (who developed this file format) that are reliable enough to establish notability.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I've started reviewing this article and have removed anchors that I beleive you added at some point. The anchors are used by a number of redirects. Removing the anchors isn't going to hurt anything because if not found, the redirect still takes readers to the top of the article where the anchors were. I'm wondering whether to clean up the redirects also. ~Kvng (talk) 19:17, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
