Feedback on {{catdiffuse}}Dance/Club music artistsI'm planning to break the list of artists down by subcategory: The duos, groups and project acts are going to the new Category:Dance musical groups listing. I also might make some modification with Dance music artists by breaking them down by sub-genre and gender. Robert Moore 22:37, 03 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for {{catdiffuse}}Hello there. Thanks very much for putting the {{catdiffuse}} tag at the top of the Islam category page; I also noticed you put it elsewhere - is it a new tag ? I've never seen it before. It's certainly very useful, as I get very annoyed constantly telling people to put articles in the right category. Thanks again. MP (talk) 21:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
ChemicalSourcesHi! First, thanks for your move of DCPIP, good job. I see on your userpage that you are a programmer, and I was wondering if you could help us. Within the Chemicals projects we are for some time looking for a programmer; we are looking for someone who would be capable to make a 'copy' of the Special:ISBN page (see also Wikipedia:Book sources). The copy should load Wikipedia:Chemical sources. That page is now a repository for external links of institutions and companies, I have done some deeplinking into some of the pages, where possible (stopped with that, because, well, maybe it is impossible and all that work would be for nothing .. vide infra). Most chemicals have some unique identifiers, mainly the CAS number, InChI, but also things like chemical formula or SMILES are possible. Shortly, we would like to have a page like the Special:ISBN, which could take a number of parameters (say, CAS, INCHI, MOLFORM, etc.), and would then load Wikipedia:Chemical sources with the appropriate links (making use of a set of MAGIC-numbers). I hope I wrote my question clear (I'm not much of a programmer, though I do understand most of the basic techniques), and I hope you can help us, would you be able to write the code, and find a way of hardcoding that into the Wikipedia machine? Thanks again, and hope to hear from you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Why did you remove Category:Formerly stateless people from Vahan Gevorgyan article? According to Polish Wikipedia (pl:Vahan Gevorgyan), he received Polish citizenship on May 20, 2003. Before that he had been a stateless person. Jacek Kendysz 19:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, this seems to be a rather POV category, at least as currently named. I'm not categorically opposed to this, but at the very least it should probably have a better name and explicit criteria for inclusion. I'm placing this on WP:CFD. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 12:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
integration userboxThanks for the userbox thing, I put it up. Fresheneesz 05:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
What are you doing?Your "step" template is way off because it implies a linear progression that doesn't really exist. For example, the Web as created by Berners-Lee drew concepts from the Virtual Notebook System (like the term "page"), HyperCard, Xanadu, and many others, not just his own project, ENQUIRE. No professional historian of technology would describe the advance of technology as linear! Please study a book on the social construction of technology. I recommend Wiebe Bijker's Bulbs, Bicycles and Bakelites, though Bijker's work is very difficult to understand. --Coolcaesar 16:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
TIESWould you mind posting on the Time Independent Escape Sequence talk page what portions you find confusing? I would like to clean it up, but it seems to read OK to me. Maury 20:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Image:Hurricane gordon 2006 cat3.jpg listed for deletion An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Hurricane gordon 2006 cat3.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. – Chacor 09:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I listed it because there's an image, taken at the same time, available on NRL in higher-resolution which I've uploaded to commons at Image:Gordon 105 kt 2006-09-14.jpg. – Chacor 09:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Stateless peopleSee my proposal at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_September_24#Category:Stateless_people to alter some changes you made. Thanks. jnestorius(talk) 06:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Bush's second term articleI agree that the neutrality of the article is probably compromised, and I am most likely guilty for much, if not most, of it. I will try to work on this, as well as making better references (footnotes?). But I also like to add to the article as events happen, and I wish others would contribute too, but this recently largely has not been the case. Obviously eradicating some of those words would require more extensive research so that the writing can be more precise. Do you have any particular suggestions?

Removing categories from File Transfer ProtocolHi, During your recent edits of article File Transfer Protocol, two categories that were removed from it: [[Category:Internet protocols]] and [[Category:Internet standards]] are actually essential to retain there. I had reverted your edits that have been rejected and hence this message. Do you disagree that FTP is one of the basic application protocol of Internet? My rationale is if someone is browsing these categories, they should be able to find all that falls under that category. I do not see why FTP should get omitted. —Raanoo 05:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Microsoft Sam / Microsoft Anna merge ?I was rather surprised that these pages were merged into the SAPI page. I thought the old pages were fine, and the current SAPI page seems to just becoming a repository of random speech-related stuff. I think there was a discussion and the idea of removing Windows Text-To-Speech was proposed, but I didn't expect every article related to Microsoft Speech was gonna get deleted. I propose re-adding those pages again as I think they are notable unless you disagree. Dave w74 02:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh, the ironyFirst, let me say that I like the idea of Wikipedia:WikiProject Integration. Although it is a project of a monumental scope, it would make information significantly easier to locate. I did notice something a little odd, though. It seems that Template:Limbo is in limbo. It appears that it was originally created in response to the discussion here. On 01 MAR 2006, the TfD debate for this template was closed with the words "The result of the debate was delete." Apparently it was deleted, but then on 17 SEP 2006 you created a template with the same name, but with a different purpose in mind, if I'm reading it correctly. The template remains unused, except as a tongue-in-cheek use on a userpage. I was wondering... how do you foresee this template being used in the Integration project?

ISBN NumbersThat's no problem. I was actually monitoring linkspam through a new bot that I'm working on with a couple of admins. When I saw multiple Amazon.com links show up, I decided to head over. Whereas most would be trying to add their Amazon.com item to many Wikipedia pages to make more money, I noticed you were simply working on an article. Long story short, don't worry about it too much. The words ISBN ############ next to each other are automatically changed by the server, so there's no need to worry about linking. :) thadius856talk 23:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
The merged article is a mess, as the different craft have very little to do with each other and would probably be better off in the specific articles for their own fictional sources, like the game or movie that they came from. Plus, it's hopelessly incomplete and indiscriminate if you want to include all fictional military aircraft in the article--where's Airwolf or every plane included in a shmup?

vote bankingIn March 05 you merged vote banking into early voting. I've worked in elections for quite a while and never heard these things be synonymous. Further, Google doesn't seem to turn up any supporting evidence either. I'm inclined to rewrite. Please let me know what you think. - Electiontechnology 05:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Rogue SoftwareThank you for creating this cat. It is one step forward to cleaning up the worst type of infection possible. I have seen people buy these rogue programs. We must put a stop to it. Thank you very much. Pogo 23:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
TfD nomination of Template:StepTemplate:Step has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. --Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 07:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Your editor review:-) Thanks for the kudos! Keep up the good work. Cheers, Dar-Ape 03:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Category about Windows securityI noticed that the Category you created regarding "Windows security", is likely headed for deletion. I understand that categories like this take quite some time to develop and flesh out, yet this particular one appears to be unwelcome at Wikipedia, unless I'm misunderstanding the argument. I hope that you will continue your work here at Wikipedia. However, just so you know, there are also other wikis out there that might very well welcome such a Category project as yours. You might start by looking at Wikia.com, Centiare.com, or PBwiki.com. If you feel that this message is too spammy, you are welcome to delete it from your discussion page. --JossBuckle Swami 02:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC) re CatDiffuseGlad to be of help, but, er, what is CatDiffuse? There's no article by that name and I don't recall defending it... Herostratus 05:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Followup inquiry crossposted from WikiProject IntegrationThe merge effort at Cymbal manufacturers is currently dead in the water. Following prodding of some articles on minor cymbal manufacturers, the WP:AMA process led to a tentative recommendation to merge a number of such articles to the above (which presumably should be List of cymbal manufacturers instead). Though I'm not directly involved, I've been trying to bring in people with relevant expertise. WikiProject Integration seemed like a perfect fit, only there seems to be little activity at the moment — thus me coming to ask you directly about this. Can you offer any perspectives, recommendations, or precedents on this situation? Is there a task force established for actual integration of articles? What of the condition of Category:Cymbal manufacturers compared to other manufacturing company categories/lists? –Unint 21:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC) Actually, I see you haven't been active since I made the inquiry. Sorry about potentially jumping the gun (when you read this, anyway). –Unint 21:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Activity in 3D optical data storage!As the originator of the Two-Photon_3-D_Optical_Data_Storage article, I hope you have time to take an interest in my recent effort to rewrite it and move it to 3D optical data storage in the wake of abuse by at least one corporate entity. The article has grown and changed substantially since you created it, but at this point it may be able to benefit from your input once again (if you have the time to spare). Thanks, TheBendster 16:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Category:SystemsThank you for your contribution to Category:Systems in the past. There is currently a Call for Deletion for this category. If you would like to contribute to the discussion, you would be very welcome. In particular, if you would like to save this category, please add a Keep entry with your "signature" using "~~~~". Please do this soon if possible since the discussion period is very short. Thank you for your interest if you can contribute. Regards, Jonathan Bowen 18:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Someone suggested a merge with Systems Theory. I like that idea. Cwolfsheep 18:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Multiple deletions: did not intend as spamCopied from User_talk:Xdamr Hello. I noticed you just deleted AeroText & Access Manager as spam. If that is your wish, so be it. I just wanted to make a formal statement that I was not attempting to spam Wikipedia, but to highlight unique applications I've come across. As a sysadmin for a rental car firm, I'm trying to eliminate my predecessor's ugly use of Access Manager, but I wrote up the article after finding the one on At Ease which I used as a teen in junior-high school.

Linux templateI deleted your duplicate template. The problem you are trying to address can be more easily dealt with by not including the cat in the template, and adding it manually. Samsara (talk • contribs) 19:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
NotabilityHello, you recently removed the {{notability}} template from YOPER, saying "YOPER's been around for a few years now: striking notability concern" However, age is completely irrelevant to notability; to establish notability, articles need to cite multiple reliable, published and independent sources. I am increasingly annoyed that people just remove these notability tags without even reading the guideline it is linking to. Please be more considerate in the future. -- intgr 19:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Access ManagerA tag has been placed on Access Manager, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason: The article is about a software product that does not assert the importance of the subject. Hundreds of thousands of software programs have been written over the years and this one does not seem to have any reason to be included in Wikipedia unless we plan to include all of them.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Fanra 16:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC) I would say a regular deletion vote is appropriate, but whatever. Cwolfsheep 17:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC) Hi Cwolfsheep. Apologies for this - I couldn't find any reference to any discussion regarding the category maintainer template you added to this category, so I have removed it in order to comply with policy (article ownership). I think it is important that the discussion that preceeded this decision is referenced, so if you are happy to re-add the template, please ensure this information is included. Many thanks, --Rebroad 19:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the Image source problem with Image:Budget logo 01.gif![]() This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Budget logo 01.gif. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Notability of Ffproxy![]() Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ffproxy, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ffproxy seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Messengerspam.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Messengerspam.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC) |
