Not a joke

The article William Buckels was not a Joke Article. See reference below.

[1]

Unfortunately it was deleted before I had a chance to finish my first draft.

I am a commercial fisherman as well as a software developer. In my life as a commercial fisherman, I was absolutely thrilled to discover that my namesake (William Buckels), also a fisherman, was responsible for the 14th century rise of the Dutch as a maritime nation through his discovery in the preservation of fish.

As I researched this further, I learned that the wikipedia netherland site had many references to this man. In the middle of composing my article, a wikipedia editor spammed this talk page scolding me, and deleted the article.

I contacted him without any response, and considering the matter further have decided to choose another wiki for this particular effort:

• William Buckels - The Inventor of Salt Herring

However, additions to Wikipedia articles on herring and gibbing ensure that Wikipedia users can also benefit from this delightful piece of history.

Hey Bill! I have good news. I appealed the decision and @Fuhghettaboutit was kind enough to undelete the article. Have a good day. Olivier Diotte (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ABINLOAD.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:ABINLOAD.GIF. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria.

Proposed deletion of Graham Shaw (musician)

The article Graham Shaw (musician) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. The-Pope (talk) 13:44, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

On Talk:Graham_Shaw_(musician), I see that you made a comment that you were "checking with Graham for additional info". As per WP:COI, this is almost the worst person to be checking with, unless he has a scrapbook of press cuttings or similar, that verify his notability through significant, non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. His word, memory or any other primary sources aren't sufficient. The BLPPROD tag I've placed gives you, or anyone else, 10 days to find references, or else the article will be deleted.

Help in understanding workin of inttypes.h

Hello Bill Buckels!!! This is Jobin, a new editor to Wikipedia. I came to know that you are an expert C programmer and would willing help me out. I was just working on inttypes.h and got stuck in a problem. The code provided in the reference http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs.inttypes.h.html just does not seem to be working on my gcc compiler. The code is as follows for your reference:

1. include <inttypes.h>

uint8_t smallval; int32_t longval; ... printf("The hexadecimal value of smallval is %" PRIx8

      ", the decimal value of longval is %" PRId32 ".\n",
      smallval, longval);

Can you please tell where am I going wrong? Jobin (talk) 10:32, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Microsoft C cross-compiler

Hi Bill,

I've read your contributions to Cross-compiler. As I explained in my comment on the talk page, I think you made a valuable contribution but that it isn't in the right article. https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Microsoft_C&redirect=no would be a good place to move the content to. Everything that links there is related to the Microsoft C compiler. Olivier Diotte (talk) 01:15, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
