Broadcast XML Nominated for deletion

Broadcast Markup Language has been nominated for deletion by a user who is involved in trying to delete the BeerXML article and is now trawling Wikipedia for other articles to delete because they are losing that debate and feel that if other XML derived standards are deleted it might help them win the argument they are losing. Please challenge its deletion if you feel this is an unnacceptable. Regards Devils In Skirts! (talk) 12:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

STOP removing the external link to FastDBF, an open source, FREE FOR ALL implementation of the DBF specification for .NET. People find it helpful, so why are you being annoying?? I am not pedaling a product here so STOP removing the LINK DAMN IT. Alacevic (talk) 11:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Please do not remove maintenance notices from pages, as you did to Office etiquette, unless the required changes have been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Thank you. John Reaves 12:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bag Bong/Bladder

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Bag Bong/Bladder, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Tikiwont 08:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I hadn't created the article, just categorized it. No opinion on the deletion at this timeCander0000 04:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MSX-DOS

In my opinion the category "home computer software" is perfectly valid for MSX-DOS. MSX is a home computer. On the category page you will also find other OS's for home computers, such as the Atari, and you will also find the sub-category "MSX GAMES". It would have been better to create the sub category "MSX software", and put the sub category "MSX games" in there, as well as "MSX-DOS", creating a structure just like the one for the Amiga. Mahjongg 10:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the Move tab to "rename" articles

Regarding your creation of Creative Science Systems from the content at Creative science systems, and the same with MDX (Computing) (since moved to the better title MDX (file format)) from .MDX, in the future, please use the Move tab to "rename" articles--the content should not be transfered via cut&paste. Using cut&paste separates the content from its edit history, which is a problem with the GFDL license, among other things, which admins then have to clean up. Also, "Computing" should not have been capitalized--you might want to review Wikipedia:Naming conventions before you move any more articles. If you ever have questions about what new name would be best for an article, you might want to post the question on the Talk page of the article, or inquire at WP:RM. If you have performed any other similar cut&paste content moves, please report them to the Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen for repair. Thanks Hellosandimas 00:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great information! I had read an article describing a process to cut and paste the content, and then put a redirect on the old article name, the 'Move' link is a great idea that should minimize the chance of missing a step.Cander0000 03:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sunopsis

I'm curious about your edit: [1] - what makes you say it's a company "of the united states"? It's really a French company, with all R&D taking place in France. It's owned by Oracle, but does that make it American? Stevage 03:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first line of the article reading "Sunopsis is a global company with headquarters in Boston for the United States" is what lead me to that assessment.Cander0000 03:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think you've been misled. The crucial bit there is "for the United States". If a company has a HQ "for the US" in the US, does that make them a US company? No. Stevage 03:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good points, the original wording implied the company had 3 headquarters, without clarifying that one was the "U.S. Headquarters", one was the "European Headquarters", etc. I've researched and reworded, I didn't find any clarification as to where their headquarters was in France.. If you have that it would be a nice addition.Cander0000 04:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VA Security Breach

Concerning your comment on the United States Department of Veterans Affairs page about the laptop theft, why do you think that it is disproportionately large? It is a recent occurrence, one that could have jeopardized who knows how many veterans. And what kind of jeopardy are we talking about, just compromising credit card records? No, maybe more than that, maybe causing veterans to lose their jobs and residences. That should be avoided.

Now that we're in the electronic age, security breaches can get far worse than just stealing records out of filing cabinets. This one is worthy of comment, don't you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.153.128 (talk) 18:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for commenting. Yes, I agree worthy of comment. In the overall scope of the topic, realize, this recent breach (on a word count basis) exceeds or roughly equals the "History", "Function" and "Organization" sections. It seems to be given undue weight. Cander0000 18:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of ESI GROUP

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on ESI GROUP, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because ESI GROUP is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting ESI GROUP, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Edge Beyond Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Edge Beyond Logo.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 08:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article name for iVDR

This product is named iVDR, which is supposed to mean "Information Versatile Disk for Removable usage." You linked to WP:NAME, but why should the article remain at "Information Versatile Disk for Removable" ? —Tokek (talk) 23:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, I hate to be pedantic but WP:NAME states:

Avoid the use of abbreviations, including acronyms, in page naming unless the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its abbreviation and is widely known and used in that form.

It appears that iVDR is exclusively known by that name and no other name, so it doesn't even enter the realm of whether or not usage is more common than would be other names. "Information Versatile Disk for Removable usage" appears to be the etymology or meaning behind the name. Elongating the title would be akin to renaming the TRON Project. Dropping of the trailing word "usage" aside.—Tokek (talk) 00:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great examples, all... Since there is currently no known need for disambiguation, both are probably valid. When speaking or writing about technology, I err on the side of using the full name unless it's really moved from jargon to a common cultural lingo. For example, you could speak with the common man about DVDs, but not about FVD (hence the former is a direct link, and the latter is a redirect). Most examples I was able to find are disambiguations of TLAs used in multiple subject areas, so I'm not seeing much precedent one way or the other. If you're able to find sources, outside of specific industry, that make use of the term, that would probably help you build that case. Cander0000 (talk) 02:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to comment on the content at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (abbreviations) vis-a-vis this topic, but I think it already covered more succinctly my thought process (emphasis mine)

In order to determine the prominence of the abbreviation over the full name, consider checking how the subject is referred to in popular media such as newspapers, magazines, and other publications.

Good fun! Cander0000 (talk) 02:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another point: When the article started off as a single sentence summary by a beginner user, it was clearly created by mistake (the word "usage" was dropped in the title when in fact iVDR should stand for for "Information Versatile Disk for Removable usage"). This was quickly half-remedied within a few minutes[2] with the {{displaytitle}} template, indicating that even the creator of the article saw the need to fix it. While you might be opposed to its official name iVDR as the article title in favor of something more obscure, why revert my edits to a mistakenly worded title? The article title was originally missing the word "usage." —Tokek (talk) 14:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake; regardless of whether to use the acronym, or the full name per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (abbreviations), the word 'usage' does not appear to be a necessary part of the title. It appears the latest article revision is OK. Cander0000 (talk) 07:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

category:pages

I am manually bulding up this category of pages using hotcat. my goal is to build up a list that consume all categorized articles on wikipedia. then i want to feed it to hintssbot and SLMSBot in recursive category mode if and when they get approved. that way ill build up a giant list of pages to do find and replace work. maybe ill add categories only -- that will be more efficient. and what do you mean by infrastructure? ^H_iⁿ_t^s_s ^talk 07:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By infrastructure, just that instead of performing the task by hand, you were putting in place all the pieces to have it accomplished automatically - the list of pages to monitor, the account to run it under.

License tagging for File:Franchitti Crash.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Franchitti Crash.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:06, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your Deletion of Meaningful Content from HP Pavillion TX1000 Series Tablet PC page

Perhaps the page was not yet developed sufficiently to make clear why it is important to post a summary of diagnoses and repair issues with this (or any) particular series of PC. In my experience, people refer to encyclopedias to learn history and facts, with the best intent to avoid repeating historical mistakes, and improve future decisions and actions. By accumulating a log of this series' widespread failures as well as the PC's features, we can enable both users and HP to learn from what has and is continuing to occur, so that recovery/repairs can be made faster and with less expense, some failures (likely due to overheating) avoided, and future manufacturing improved. Your changes to the page have eliminated everything useful and turned the page into a marketing brochure header/link. Please explain why the original direction of the page was 'unencyclopedic' to the extent that you just wiped it out. 22curious (talk) 19:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cander0000 (talk) 04:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some diffs for you to recall: [3] and [4]. Wikipedia editors patrol new changes for vandalism. Some vandalism gets by them. Much ends up in Special:Shortpages which is also patrolled. To mark that something is checked, a long comment is added often with the template {{longcomment}}. Your removal of these causes people to look at these again and again, wasting their time. It is a form of vandalism to remove content - even hidden comments and categories and markup langauge - from articles. I hope that this clarifies the matter sufficiently for you.

EpiSurveyor

Hi. I'm the director of the EpiSurveyor project. I saw you removed the link from EpiSurveyor because we do not release the website source code. The EpiSurveyor mobile phone clients, though, are fully open-source JavaROSA-compliant programs (for Symbian and for Android). These mobile clients can be used with any xform generator, not just EpiSurveyor, so they stand alone. I didn't want to just undo your undo, but I would like to reinsert my text and state exactly these points, because it seems to me that with clarification the information is appropriate.

I should also note that even the Android operating system doesn't release all of its code (for example for the built in gmail client), but it is generally considered open-source.

Your thoughts?

I proposed some guidelines on the talk page for the List of Open Source Healthcare software, and they were expanded upon at the top of the article. It hasn't received extreme amounts of discussion, but consensus seems to be towards limiting that list to software that is clearly open source. Can you identify a well known open source license under which the EpiSurveyor code is released? If so, perhaps add it back in. Better would be to find a third party reference that can vouch for the license being used, or just link to the code itself (i.e. on sourceforge). If you can influence the EpiSurveyor project, if they would prominently list on their web site what licenses was being used, that make it even more clear where wikipedia or any other reference work should list and categorize the product. You could also just add an EpiSurveyor article to Category:Health_software if it can't be established that it's open source... not that it isn't, but just that satisfactory proof can't be located yet.

So the Android article is a good analogy- it's categorized under Category:Mobile phone operating systems but not under Category:Free_software_operating_systems. (Interestingly, Category:Mobile open source is present, but categories aren't a true 'type' system, so all that tells me is that Android is topic one would ready about when studying the Mobile open source subject area) It appears the consensus isn't ready to declare Android 'open source', the comment "released most of the Android code" (emphasis mine) is even present in the intro.Cander0000 (talk) 23:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It probably needs to improve in terms of sourcing, and i think it was tagged for 'original research' - there are probably some portions where authors took a bit of liberty that isn't supported in the song or reliable sources. My question, does your interest lie in improving the article in question, or in practicing certain argumentative techniques (e.g. Overwhelming exception, Misleading vividness) ? I predict that any answer you give will bear out your intent. Cander0000 (talk) 05:51, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider your restoration of that nonsense, or I'll have to start dispute resolution. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding silly synopsis sections to song articles

This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:40, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:57, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. I'm not 100% clear how to verify that this 'block' is legitimate, because your message doesn't give me anything to trace to, or provide any specifics on how to respond. Either way, I do agree with the policies you reference. The only thing that clues me in is the subjective "silly..song" in the section title, which almost makes me suspicious this is related to another editor that was blanking content in an song article with similar claims. If it is legitimate, and/or you need any response from, please let me know. Cander0000 (talk) 08:49, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 3 days as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know "Ohnoitsjamie". I have to admit I'm very suspicious of your interest and credibility in your actions. You were one of the people advocating for removing content from the article you appear to be offended about... AND... are rendering administrative decisions. I would recommend you leave that to a neutral, objective third party if you have an active interest in the topic. Whether or not you have that level of authority, you would appear more credible to others if you recused yourself from topics you had argued passionately about on one side or the other. I regret the article couldn't come to consensus as a result of some level-headed discussion. Can't say i'm seeing a way to rationally converse with the deletionists there jumping in and out, basically saying "i find it funny - delete it".Cander0000 (talk) 09:08, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just so we are 100% clear on this; add the material again, and the next block will be for a month. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't reviewed it recently, check out the essay Wikipedia:MASTADONS. Take a deep breath. Your responses are what I am referring to when i pointed out that level-headed discussion is lacking. I understand the tactic of being immediately grandiose to make the point, but I presume, like me, you really don't have anything significant to 'win or lose' by the article being presented one way of the other. See below, an third party, objective editor with administrator privleges weighed in who hadn't been actively discussing the topic in question. Good luck to you in the future.Cander0000 (talk) 02:17, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Cander0000 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This block appears to have been initiated by an editor who has strong feelings about the Regulate (song) article, those feeling which disagree with content I was involved with attempting to add, source, discuss, improve. This editor also appears to have some level of 'administrator' privileges. It was inappropriate for this editor to use those 'administrator' privileges in response to a disagreement over a single article that the editor had argued passionately about on one side or the other. I would accept the judgement of a neutral, objective administrator either lifting the block or not

Decline reason:

I've reviewed your edits and the discussions of them. It appears that you are trying to use Wikipedia as a humor web site, and are blocked for not stopping. Perhaps you are simply confused? Wikipedia is not a humor web site, but a real, serious encyclopedia. If you're looking for a humor web site that uses wiki software you might enjoy Encyclopedia Dramatica or Uncyclopedia. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

)

I'm disappointed that you wasted my time reviewing this request; you must have known before you requested the review that you were acting inappropriately. Please be aware that, when users waste admin time on unnecessary unblock requests, their talk pages are sometimes disabled. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the process is that assigns out unblock requests, but my presumption is that you are voluntarily performing the task. Please don't see it as a waste of time, but as part of the process of reconciling different views on what wikipedia should be. I'm not offended by the block above, but I will continue to call out that it should not be given a high level of credibility because it was initiated by an edited that had argued pasionately for one point of view on a single article, then apparently used 'administrative' privileges to self-adjudicate the issue, placing a "block" on at least me - if not others, I don't know - who had proposed a different point of view or at least proposed the area of disagreement be discussed using Wikipedia's talk page to reach some level of consensus. The consensus was not clear that a wikipedia policy supported editors of any access level, subjectively finding things 'funny' or 'humoruous' as a basis for exclusion from the encyclopedia. I appreciate your time as an objective party reviewing the block and making a determination. I fully accept the determination you've made and do want to be constructive and avoid any conflicts with nonconstructive editors in the future. Would you say that request to unblock from a block placed by an editor with 'administrator' priveleges that had a conflict of interest in the issue would considered in the future as evidence of a systemic "waste [of] admin time on unnecessary unblock request"?

Bill Conner biographical page

Cander0000 I am fairly new to wiki but have been trying hard to play by the generally accepted rules. Can you clarify for me why you feel the resume tag is appropriate for Mr Conner's page. I have some ideas of modifications that may help but want to know your reasoning before i go making changes blindly and possibly doing more harm than good. thanks for the help DallasSecurity (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)DallasSecurity[reply]

Great question. It looks like most of your contributions have been around Bill Conner or a related company, so i might suggest branching out to contributing to other biographies, you might get a feel for the ebb and flow of preferred style. For better or worse, it looks like another editor has already taken a fairly blunt knife to the article, eliminating a lot of the 'list o' accomplishments' type stuff. I just know a lot of those lists - co-chaired *, member of *, helped *, etc. that stuff you can find on the individuals facebook profile, or on their corporate web site. I look more for 'what' was the impact of those events, 'how' was the individual involved and critical to the organization. Good luck!Cander0000 (talk) 21:39, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Cander. i will try to make it more of a "story" lke a real bio less listy. I will branch out also. DallasSecurity (talk) 13:45, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hand-coding

Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:57, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you know, i kind of figured out the root cause... the reference has to be used in the article, to be valid in a list-defined reference.

For example, something like "This reference will not be valid until it is used in at least one "ref" within the article text" Good luckCander0000 (talk) 22:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Software companies of North Korea requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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".
