Link spam

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 21:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

To Nlu: Links I am adding are not commercial. They are related to the site topic and are non-profit

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kozuch (talk • contribs) .

It doesn't matter if the link is commercial or not. As explained in Wikipedia:External links, linked material should add to the article. People come to Wikipedia to find out about a subject. What I'm seeing are some short pages with a bunch of links. They even cite Wikipedia as a source! So you're just regurgitating the same material back at us. Futhermore, you seem to be the admin of the site, and adding links to your own site is generally frowned upon. This is called linkspamming.

Finally, removing warnings from your talk page is considered vandalism. Consider yourself warned on both issues. --Imroy 22:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. Imroy 22:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding spam to Wikipedia. No only are you linking to your own site, but your own site is merely a copy of the Wikipedia article with added advertising. You are very obviously not adding anything to Wikipedia by these links. — Saxifrage ✎ 04:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Bitweaver

This article has been deleted 4 times (the last time was yesterday), so I'd encourage you to add {{db-owner}} to it to allow speedy deletion, otherwise it will have to go to AFD again. Cheers, Yomangani^talk 15:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I ask you to stop violating Wikipedia policy and stop deleting an article that is in compliance with all rules. Kozuch

Repeated spamming

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. Nehwyn 16:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about???

Sorry, that was not very clear indeed. I was referring to the warnings your already received, as listed above. Nehwyn 20:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I ask you to remove the "Repeated spamming" sign because you do not know what is going on at all. There has been a serious problem with article creation, the article "Bitweaver" about Bitweaver CMS (www.bitweaver.org) has been deleted 5 times without a proper reason. This is violating Wikipedia policies and so is your unprofessional behaviour.

I have protected Bitweaver from recreation because it has been deleted and recreated multiple times. Eventually, administrators get tired of constantly deleting it. Please don't recreate it unless you have a really good reason. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 21:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Kozuch, I am afraid I have to decline your request. Spamming articles will be removed; if you repost them (as you have done repeatedly), they will be removed again and again. That is what is going on. Moreover, if you delete a warning from your talk page (again, as you have done already) that would be considered Wikipedia:Vandalism under Wikipedia regulations. Sorry about the situation... but please do not feel discouraged to contribute to Wikipedia in other ways. :) Nehwyn 21:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:AMD PIC.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AMD PIC.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 16:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Eduwise.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Eduwise.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 18:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup tags

HI you dated a couple of these in the future! Rich Farmbrough, 18:35 29 September 2007 (GMT).

It was a last day of the month or so...--Kozuch (talk) 12:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Expert-subject at Free Software

I'm an expert on free software. Could you please explain how attention from an expert on the subject is needed? --mms (talk) 21:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Info on expert help for free software article?

Hi. I have a good ten years of involvement in the free software community/movement, so your "expert help needed" tag on the free software article caught my eye, but I can't find info on the talk page about what parts of the article need help. Can you say on the Talk page what help is needed? That way others will know what to do, and will know when the tag can be removed. If you don't say what problem needs to be fixed, no one will know why the notice should stay. --Gronky (talk) 22:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I meant especially profiling the "free software" vs. "open source software" issue, which is discussed on the talk page several times, but not cleary described in either of the articles.--Kozuch (talk) 23:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The most detailed coverage of that topic is in the article Alternative terms for free software, but this issue is given the 2nd paragaph in the free software article, so I'm not sure where we could add a more detailed discussion. We should try to avoid having one description of the issue on the free software page and another on the open-source software page and another on some other page (that's why the "alternative terms..." article was created). --Gronky (talk) 23:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Linux

Thank you for your patience while I finished implementing the new Template:Linux. I'm done my part now, so please feel free to go ahead and edit away! - Ahunt (talk) 13:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Free and Open Source Software Template

Thanks for suggesting this on the Template:Linux talk page. As I mentioned there, I think it is a good idea to have a new and separate template for FLOSS, while keeping the Linux template intact. To that end I have started a new proposed FLOSS template at User:Ahunt/Sandbox. Please do have a look at it and feel free to edit it to make it more like you had in mind. I don't have a complete idea what should be on it and thus have just put some examples there. If we can get it up to a basic level of completeness then we can go "live" with it and put it on some pages. That will encourage others to edit it and make it better yet (hopefully). - Ahunt (talk) 13:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement and for your edits on the proposed template. I don't have a problem having it go live right away - that will give more editors a change to have a kick at it. I have some doubts about the idea of listing applications listed on it, as there are tens of thousands of them. But let's go live and and see how it evolves. Perhaps you can help me spread it around on the pages it should go onto? - Ahunt (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay it is there at Template:FLOSS Feel free to jump on in! - Ahunt (talk) 17:14, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. That is what I have been doing, with the exception of applications, which are joined to the template through the application list. I was thinking that it is helpful to have the nav template on the applications pages, many of the articles are short and have no other navigation help on them, particularly to the mater list. - Ahunt (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note again - I missed what you had done when I went through the template history. No sweat, in time the template will get better! No more input, the better - Ahunt (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

"OMG, are you paid by M$ for this??? STOP your POV activities ASAP!"

I'm a bit confused. Are we having some kind of disagreement that I'm unaware of?

Thanks, WalterGR (talk | contributions) 13:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

You removed sourced critical content with no proper reason and no discussion at all - this is unfortunatelly a template of your behaviour here on Wikipedia.--Kozuch (talk) 14:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I am proud of and stand by my edit history. I'd be happy to re-evaluate my behavior if you provide specific examples this "template". Alternately, feel free to do so on the appropriate administrator noticeboard. WalterGR (talk | contributions) 14:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

So am I of mine, but I just do not like removing well-sourced and valuable content especially if it is critic or on controversial topic. Other case of your behaviour is talked here.--Kozuch (talk) 15:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft Silverlight

Please do not accuse other editors just because their ideologies do not match with yours and unless you have some concrete evidence to back your accusations up. Always assume good faith and respect others. Comment all you like on the edits, but not on the editor. That will keep away from you a lot of unpleasantness in any content dispute you might get involved in. --soum ^talk 13:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

For the barnstar! - Ahunt (talk) 01:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Longmeng

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Longmeng, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 01:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Propriety

Actyually Office Open XML belongs to Ecma International. It does not belong to Microsoft but to an independant standards organization and therefore is by defnition not a propriety format Microsoft has provided the basis and the technology but does not own the format in any way. It might own patent rights on the technology (which it has licensed trough a FREE RAND OSP license) but that does not make it propriety. IBM and Sun own patents for ODF. That does not make ODF a propriety format does it.

Your current edit look like petty edits to make ODF look better than OOXML. I suggest however you stay on factual ground. hAl (talk) 22:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanx for explanation, I must have misunderstood the matter. However, its true I am a fan of ODF :).--Kozuch (talk) 23:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Longmeng

An editor has nominated Longmeng, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Longmeng and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 15:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Web Browsers

[1] I am not sure if you still need to know how the template looked like, but if you do I can provide you with the deleted revision. If you do not, well, just so you know almost any admin would provide you with the text of any deleted stuff. --soum ^talk 16:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

History of laptops

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of History of laptops, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.buyalaptop.info/History%20of%20Laptops. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Using AWB

Hi. Please be careful with using AWB. This is a violation of the rules. Please keep in mind that rules of use state: Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits such as only adding or removing some white space. Friendly, -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

A Library-stub template was removed in this particular edit too - does that qualify as insignificant or inconsequential too?--Kozuch (talk) 09:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Check that later writes: "moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists." -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I dont want to play with words, but the tag was RE-moved, not moved... Sure, I am new to AWB and I still have to find my way around. I will try do do my best.--Kozuch (talk) 12:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just checked! You were right and I was wrong. My apologies. I would remove the tag as well. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 12:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

AWB on Austria

Hi,

Could you re-run AWB on Austria? I reverted a sockpuppet and I figured it'd be easier for you to sick AWB on the article than a point by point edit on the current version. Sorry about the inconvenience. WLU (talk) 01:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

AWB

Hi! Please be more careful when using it. Herat is a city in Afghanistan and shouldn't be always changed to 'heart' :) Alæxis_¿question? 05:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, sorry, I missed that one.--Kozuch (talk) 09:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Blue Hat and Blue Hat Conf are different

Why did you merge the Blue Hat and Blue Hat Conference together into one paragraph? They are two different things and mashing the two definitions into one paragraph is IMHO confusing. - Operknockity (talk) 02:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Fixed, the article is still very little info though. Please dont use links in headings.--Kozuch (talk) 08:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't know about the heading links style rule...duly noted. - Operknockity (talk) 04:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi! You proposed splitting the history section in [Macintosh]], but didn't offer any reasons why. I've started a talk page section and I invite you to contribute there (if we discuss it here no one else will see it).--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 23:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

AWB on Fanny Imlay

When running AWB on Fanny Imlay, you/it removed a "<p>" code inside a block quotation, which then made the quotation look like one paragraph instead of two. I fixed this, but then you/it changed it back. I'm not quite sure why. I have now fixed it again. The quotation has been copied exactly from the original source. If you could fix this bug in the software, I would appreciate it! Awadewit (talk) 14:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Featured article template

Hi -- I notice you've been moving the featured article template to above the categories. I was under the impression that the featured article template was supposed to be the last thing in the article. Can you tell me what the reason for the change is? Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 19:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It is the AWB default setting, so I assume it is correct.--Kozuch (talk) 19:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

AWB on Joseph Priestley

AwB broke links at Joseph Priestley - see the diff. Some code must be broken. Awadewit (talk) 21:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Free speech zone worldwide perspective

What would you like to have done to expand or balance the FPZ article, when the zones are a U.S. peculiarity? I don't speak Russian or Esperanto, the languages behind the interwiki links, but those articles seem to deal exclusively with the American concept as well. We could always go bug a suitably international wikiproject and ask them if they know any foreign equivalents. --Kizor 10:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, if you have an idea on how the article needs repairs or how to do them, please voice that idea. If you're procrastinating on an answer, please answer with the word "Banana." --Kizor 17:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I go "banana" now - the article is about US stuff and should remain so probably.--Kozuch (talk) 09:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi,

Your edit summaries on Web browser really don't help people to understand what it is that you're doing to the article. Rather than just copying in some piece of syntax being moved, could you try using a rationale or a brief overview of your changes? This is a big help when examining how an article has changed over a series of edits. Thanks! Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 21:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Unicorn (company)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Unicorn (company), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Unicorn (company) 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. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Unicorn (company), 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.

Windows tax

Hi. Regarding:

> "Please do not remove well sourced material":

If you read the edit summary of my revertion, then you know the reason why I removed it. To elaborate: the fact that you had added, at the top of the article, information that was already present in considerably more detail in the appropriate section lower down (the "Licensing agreements" subsection of "Business Practices") suggested that you did not realise that the information was already present in the article. Perhaps you assumed that "product criticism" included license agreement criticism, and so thought that if such criticism was not present there then it was not in the article at all. As such, I removed your addition to avoid pointless duplication.

Actually, that's not the case for the whole of your addition -- there is indeed one part of your addition that isn't already in the article: the claim that there are some parts of the world where it is not possible to buy computers without Windows. So why did I delete that part rather than moving it to the appropriate section? Because that is the one part of your addition which isn't sourced.

As such, I have now left the statements about Microsoft / Windows tax, as they are well sourced, only removing the "due to the Windows market dominance among personal computer operating systems" as unnecessarily restating the context halfway through a point; and added a citation neeed tag to the claim about the unavailability of WIndows-free computers.

I hope this clears up any confusion about my edits. Thanks, -- simxp (talk) 16:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Common Agricultural Policy

Hi. I noticed you added a tag to this article suggesting the intro needed improving. Unfortunately you did not explain on talk why you felt this was needed. Perhaps you could explain what you feel is wrong with the intro? Sandpiper (talk) 08:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Ten articles in one day at Peer Review

Please do not nominate more than two articles per day at Peer Review - see this discussion Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_Guideline:_a_daily_limit_on_the_number_of_PR_requests_per_editor. There are a limited number of reviewers, and nominating ten articles all on one broad subject (Computing) strains the system unreasonably. My suggestion is that you pick the two you most want feedback on and withdraw the other eight. After you see the comments on the first two, fix those issues in the other articles, then nominate two more, and repeat this until done. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to postpone any nominations.--Kozuch (talk) 21:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

List of Software Bugs.

I note your agressively pro-Microsoft stance (as indicated in several comments further up this page) - but truly, the change you made to List of software bugs was ridiculous. The business practice of releasing open source software cannot remotely be called a "Software Bug" whether you agree with that practice or not. Hence, I have reverted your change in its entirety. Please don't do things like that again. It's highly POV and it was wildly off-topic for that list article. SteveBaker (talk) 18:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

AWB reference format fixes

In [2] a period after a ref is moved before the ref, duplicating the period already there. This sort of edit is not trivial to do properly. Is this part of AWB or did you create the regexes yourself? Gimmetrow 02:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I use a reglex set defined here. It works most of the time, but surely could be still iproved.--Kozuch (talk) 07:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Those have clear deficiencies with common things like this.. I have a javascript which does a somewhat better job, but any real language is complex. Gimmetrow 09:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I tried to add a "double dot removal" rule behind the ref reglexes - to remove all ".." unless it is a "..." (which is used in citing). It worked fine unless messing some URLs - I need to improve that first. Also, some folks use ".." in quotes rather than "...".--Kozuch (talk) 09:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikify?

You placed the {{wikify}} tag a the head of Polyamory. I have no idea what specific aspect of the article you feel is in need of improvement based on this tag. Will you please provide comments at its talk page describing what shortcomings you perceive in the current article (or even just fix them)? A very generic tag with no explanation is more of a hinderance than a help. LotLE×talk 00:19, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Seemed quite obvious to me though.--Kozuch (talk) 10:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Peak oil

You are placing ref tags on sections that have many references and point to heavily referenced articles. Perhaps it would be more helpful if you would tag as the statements which you believe need citations. NJGW (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that commons tag on the OOXML article. It alerted me that there are images available. I just added one to the article. Cheers. --Lester 22:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Inveneo

A tag has been placed on Inveneo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mayalld (talk) 14:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Preview request

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Mainframe Computer, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. This is in addition to the many other articles you placed ref needed tags onto and did so with multiple edits. A single edit is better for those monitoring articles for vandalism and inaccurate changes. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Credible author

Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner.

Robot

Hi. You recently added the copyedit tag to the Robot article. This is a very long article, so it's not clear if the tag applies to the whole article, or to one section of it. Please could you clarify on the Talk:Robot page. Thanks. Rocketmagnet (talk) 19:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Roma

My apologies on that edit. I was copy-editing a variety of stuff so I didn't list it all. Your edit was valid, however, it was in the wrong place. It suddenyl came up that the Roma made an appearance in the magazine. It should have been in a different section not "Central and Eastern Europe." Perhaps in a "Roma in popular culture section". I will post something in the discussion in this regard. You should contribute there. Lihaas (talk) 08:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

US Army Corps of Engineers

I am confused as to why you added the {{refimprove}} tag to this article. The references include the following:

• USACE's public website
• USACE's intranet
• An independent written publication
• Army Engineer Association magazine
• US Civil War center professional bulletin
• An organization opposed to USACE
• An educational institution
• A senator's website
• Local news media
• An independent FOIA request
• State of New York report

That is a pretty wide range of references. Granted, some of the references are from the organization itself; however, when describing an organization, its missions, its history, and its goals, that would not be unreasonable.

I have removed the tag for now. I've also included this discussion on the Talk:United States Army Corps of Engineers. Please respond there so that others can join in the discussion if desired. Don'tKnowItAtAll (talk) 12:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

{{Wikipedia}} template and the Wikimedia Foundation article

Just to note: Wikipedia is one of the several projects operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Articles relating to Wikipedia are relevant to the article on Wikimedia Foundation. That is why the {{Wikipedia}} template is relevant to the article on Wikimedia Foundation. The template is intended strictly to aid in navigation related to articles dealing with Wikipedia. There is no reason why it should be removed. --Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 13:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wayan Vota

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Wayan Vota, 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 should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. ffm 23:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Nettop

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to assign Nettop (computer) a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Nettop. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history that is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows a page to be moved to a new title together with its edit history.

In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "move" tab at the top of the page [as you did when relocating the disambiguation page to Nettop (disambiguation)]. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. —David Levy 00:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Start-stop system.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Start-stop system.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) 15:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created: CrunchPad may be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CrunchPad.

The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.

Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:

Find sources for CrunchPad: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

1. List the page on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.

2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)

3. You can request a mentor to help explain all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.

4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.

If your page is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 03:37, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Depth of field: citation of bobatkins.com and tag for missing inline citations.

I reverted the citation of bobatkins.com for optimal f-number because

1. His article, which deals strictly with diffraction in the plane of focus, doesn't address the tradeoff between diffraction and defocus, which is the topic of that section of the Wikipedia article.
2. I have a lot of respect for Bob Atkins, but it's really just a personal web site that doesn't meet the requirements for reliable sources.
3. The footnote citation style doesn't match the author-date style used throughout the article; WP:CITE, as well as common sense, I think, requires a consistent style. I would not have reverted for this issue alone, however.

I've also questioned the addition of the {{More footnotes}} tag. There are already quite a few footnotes, as well as at least one inline citation for every reference. I don't suggest that it's perfect, but it's much better sourced than many WP article, especially on photography. If there are specific statements that you think require support, please so indicate, because it's almost impossible to address the general comment (much like having an article with no inline citations). As I've mentioned on the talk page, absent some good reason for the tag, I'm going to remove it because I don't think it's indicated. JeffConrad (talk) 05:29, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:GSM World Coverage 2008.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:GSM World Coverage 2008.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 02:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:F-35 Lightning II cutaway.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:F-35 Lightning II cutaway.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 16:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to File:F-35 Lightning II cutaway.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 00:27, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear to you, Wikipedia doesn't accept COPYRIGHTED ARTICLES OR IMAGES, period. This is the reason why this image cannot be use! FYI, Flight International/Flight Global is the copyright owner of this image, do you want to be sued by them for illegally uploading of their product (referring to the cutaway image)? It's a fair question, answer me. --Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 09:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Do you maybe want to read the text of tempates you placed on my talk page? Particularly Wikipedia:Non-free content? You will find the answers there. --Kozuch (talk) 09:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Really, I'm sorry to tell you this but those two cutaway diagrams cannot be use on Wikipedia because they are copyrighted, we cannot use them here without the explicit permission(s) from the publisher - Flight International. Please read up on WP:COPYRIGHT and then come back here to ask if you still have any queries. In the mean time, please do not remove the maintenance templates again, makes you look like a guilty party if you know what I mean. Should you do it again, I'm sorry but I'll have to take you up to ANI for disruptive editing. Please heed my advice, thank you. --Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 09:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I admit I dont read every other rule here, but what I dont undestand is the difference between my images and File:Windows_7.png for example. Does the Windows screenshot have a permission? Does providing source URL solve the problem??? --Kozuch (talk) 09:30, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

• Let's not stray away from our main objective, shall we? Yes, providing source URL can solve such problem(s) if it tells people of the Copyright status or which country it's copyright adheres to. Take any Public domain images for instance, they can be freely reproduce for reuse anywhere in the world because they are not copyrighted to anyone as their owner had released it into the Public domain. The image you've uploaded does not fall into that category, nor is it suitable for reuse because it is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced for reuse here on Wikipedia without any form of written permission by the owner/publisher even if you can provide a logical sounding unfree reuse rationale. Besides, in order to avoid such problems I've taken the trouble to add an External Image Link even before you thought of adding such cutaways, take a look at the Specifications section of Hawker Hunter and Hawker Siddeley Nimrod, I'm sure you'll see what I mean. (P.S.: The two external image links aren't working now because the site undergoing some upgrading currently.)--Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 09:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Gulfstream G250 Cutaway.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal

I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new Visual arts/Technology-related project in Wikipedia:

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design).

• If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Industrial design in Wikipedia...
• At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...
• And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...
• There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...
• Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)

Please support this initiative,

Speedy deletion nomination of Uzebox

A tag has been placed on Uzebox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Automobile propulsion technologies

The article Automobile propulsion technologies has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplication. Article almost mirrors the content of the pre-existing article Alternative fuel vehicle, and there is no value added to merit a merge with the original AFV article, as already discussed here. Besides, the title says it is about propulsion technologies, but actually is mostly about alternative fuels, so the title is not related to the actual content.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mariordo (talk) 17:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Discussion about your actions in Wikitech-l

Hello, there is currently a discussion about the changes you just made in bugzilla on the wikitech mailing list. The relevant thread is here. Johnduhart (talk) 18:09, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Bugzilla changes reverted

I've reverted your changes. See the history on Bug 156 for an example.

First, I agree that the wider communities interest in an issue should affect the importance of the issue.

However, if the you feel like the developer community isn't being responsive enough to a particular bug, then there are more effective ways to get action on the bug than bumping up the "Priority" field on bugs. Doing so will only lead to further frustration on your part.

We use that field to allocate our scarce resources and direct volunteer developers when they request it. Mass changes like the ones you made should be discussed on wikitech-l and the consensus of the developer community should be respected. -- ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Slevin

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Stephen Slevin 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ZZArch ^{talk to me} 11:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Scribunto deployment

Hi Kozuch, I'm very excited about the impending deployments of Scribunto. Is there any chance the Vietnamese Wiktionary could be considered for an early deployment? It could well be one of the most template-intensive Wiktionaries, primarily due to the string processing done in wikt:vi:Bản mẫu:vie-pron, which is used in over 30,000 entries. I've already developed a much, much more efficient alternative to vie-pron in Lua, and I plan to quickly cut the wiki over to the Lua module once Scribunto is deployed there. I wonder if the sysadmins would be interested in measuring how the Vietnamese Wiktionary's performance changes with the switch to Lua modules. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 06:27, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Minh Nguyễn, I think we can add you to the first batch. I forwarded this request to responsible people in WMF. In case no one of them denies the request here it should be OK. Regards, --Kozuch (talk) 10:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for info at VPT on the impending deployment of Scribunto. Just curious: where did that date come from? (I'm wondering if there is a page with announcements about Scribunto that I don't know about.) Also, do you know of any discussion regarding how modules from test2 might be imported (to preserve edit history) to here? I guess copy/paste is what we will end up using, but do you know of any previous discussions on that? See the question at WP:VPT#Import from test2.wiki.x.io. Johnuniq (talk) 02:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Oops, I just caught up with wikitech-l and see the announcement (archived here). It looks like my question about import might be best on wikitech-l, but if you have any thoughts I would like to hear them. Johnuniq (talk) 07:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I notified WMF staff about this request. Hope that will help.--Kozuch (talk) 08:20, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Tim posted at VPT that imports from test2 now work, and WOSlinker did an import of two modules I'm interested in. Tim is rarely here so I won't post on his page, but perhaps you would like to report an issue: see "an error displayed on import" at User talk:WOSlinker#Importing Module:Convert. It doesn't bother me, but someone might want to evaluate whether it's worth investigation. Johnuniq (talk) 08:10, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry but I am not able to help with the technicalities - please try to post the issue to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lua as Tim is probably watching that page.--Kozuch (talk) 09:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Translations of Module

User Nemo has suggested me to contact you if it is necessary to set up some coordination to facilitate translations of new namespace Module. It will be nice to have it tranlated for next deployment. --Vriullop (talk) 21:11, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Dear Vriullop, I am not very familiar with how translations of namespaces work and what it is actually about - could you please elaborate a bit on this? Do you need my engagement or are you willing to take care of it yourself?--Kozuch (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I am not very familiar with that either. In mw:Extension:Scribunto there is a link "To help: translate the namespace name Module", but it really does not help if every wiki has to fill a bug on bugzilla requesting the translation once the new namespace is live. An example of such requests: bugzilla:9270. Perhaps user Nemo can elaborate it. I'll poke him. --Vriullop (talk) 10:05, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Translations are done in the extensions' code directly. To avoid a flood of bug requests and a lot of confusion (people requesting namespace aliases instead of translations etc.), it would be better if you or someone else could solicit translations from interested people and then commit them to the code all together. --Nemo 11:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I have created the page m:Lua deployments/Localization of Module for collecting translations. --Vriullop (talk) 13:02, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
