Commercial use of Image:BlackboxPrototype.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:BlackboxPrototype.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:BlackboxPrototype.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:BlackboxPrototype.jpg, 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. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of CoolThreads Application Tuning Artciles published by Sun

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, but I'm afraid that Wikipedia is not a web directory, nor is it a guide. Your List of CoolThreads Application Tuning Artciles published by Sun template doesn't appear to be appropriate content for Wikipedia. Is there perhaps one page on the Sun website that already lists these Sun documents? That would keep the UltraSparc T1/T2 articles looking more encyclopaedic, and keep any updates in one place (on Sun's website).

It is always preferable to have content than links. You could take the appnotes/whitepapers/etc and write something about the issues involved in optimising for the processors. Then you could cite the relevant papers as references. Having a bunch of external links in the middle of an article just doesn't look professional. --Imroy (talk) 05:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TfD nomination of Template:List of CoolThreads Application Tuning Artciles published by Sun

January 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Folk Guy's Always with You. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 21:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Folk Guy's Always with You

I have nominated Folk Guy's Always with You, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Folk Guy's Always with You. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 21:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't remove the AFD tag from the page. It says this in the comments: "Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the issue is settled." If you want to comment on the possible deletion, leave a message on the AfD page. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 21:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Edison Chen's scandal of sex photos (2008)

A tag has been placed on Edison Chen's scandal of sex photos (2008), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

3RR

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. —Locke Cole • t • c 04:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unblocked - sorry

Sorry about that, Ray. IP 99.238.17.112 was blocked for declaring a vandalism war, but you should now be able to edit. Please let me know if you have any more problems. — kwami (talk) 17:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wireless LAN security

I'm going to improve the references for this article as there are none. I'm going to do so by converting the external links.

I just don't think this was a good time to add non inline material to support the article. It doesn't need that. If you truly think these books are finer material than the external links provided, source them. I believe their usefulness here is limited otherwise.

This is especially true for an article that has {{Original research|article|date=December 2007}} placed on it.

Does this make sense? E_dog95'^{Hi '} 06:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited this picture of yours in Commons to remove the excess sky and pavement, and converted it into a 16x9 widesceen format. I think it makes the terminal much more prominent in the Infobox. Hope you like it. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.--Kozuch (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who is not providing the valid reason here?? If that template should be attached to HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, you may as well as that template to every laptop that can run Linux. Raysonho (talk) 01:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:GridEngine.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:GridEngine.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Template Sun Microsystem

You need to read the article, before you start making judgment. SQLJ has total relevance to Sun Microsystems. It complies as a documentation of ISO standard which fits into Community involvement. JavaStation is part of the Project Blackbox (read it yourself) in the article, I change the term because I felt the Java is too repetitive in the Template. --Ramu50 (talk) 03:42, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SQLJ is related to Java, so are all the Java related articles in the Java template. If everything that is related to Java has to be put in the Sun template, then what is the point of having the Java template?? --Raysonho (talk) 03:44, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I only put the major implementations of Java technologies, documentation is an important aspect of Sun Microsystems, and is tightly being forseen as an equivalent scope to JCP. I believe it should keep. And of course, I wouldn't even bother adding Java technologies on here, why bother worsening a good template. --Ramu50 (talk) 03:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget that JCP also have a lot of Open Source developers, and many of the contributions of JCP and other SQL extensions, drivers...etc are being closely watch. As this also include OpenSPARC. That is why Sun created a webpage particularly for UltraSPARC T2. --Ramu50 (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the template I propose no one expressed an opinion it for one week, so I am reverting it. --Ramu50 (talk) 03:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment on the Eee article

You wrote "Not important to over 90% of the readers here, and besides, it's mentioned in the "Educational use" section." as an edit comment.

Just wanted to ask you to refrain from using that first argument. It wouldn't surprise me if 90% of Wikipedia's articles are not important to 90% of its readers! In other words, that's a particularly shortsighted argument.

(Do note that I agree with your edit. I'm objecting to half your comment here.)

SPARC64 VI

Hello! As you started the SPARC64 VI article, I thought that you may be interested to know that I have a few bits and pieces about the SPARC64 VI here that you may wish to incorporate into the article. If you do, please note that the information comes from a source dated before the SPARC64 VI was introduced, so it may be dated or inaccurate as I have not yet researched the topic in more detail. Regards. Rilak (talk) 07:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

I notice you've contributed some photos to Wikipedia and others to Commons. If you don't mind, could you transfer a few from WP to Commons:

I've created commons:Category:Yorkdale Shopping Centre to hold them, among others. Mind matrix 02:37, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mindmatrix... I find that you created some new cats for other GTA places in commons. The 3 Yorkdale pics are actually not very good (low res, bad composition), I guess I can also move them to commons now and delete them when I take some better ones when I go to Yorkdale next time.

Orphaned non-free media (File:DoorsOpenToronto2006.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:DoorsOpenToronto2006.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why you consider several entries to the table of nettops to be marketing and/or spam? Your edit comment seems to imply you value IP editors less somehow.

Warnings

Please do not remove information from articles. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed even if some believe it to be contentious. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. You also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 04:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"You will hit 3RR first"

Please do not edit war. I started a discussion on the Talk page. All you have to do is join it. I have provided links to all the relevant policies and guidelines in my edit summaries and in the discussion. There is no need for rows of question marks or accusing me of wasting your time. --Nigelj (talk) 20:49, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to be rude - but looks like you have a very limited knowledge of open source projects, and I encourage you to use the very simple website called Google to do your own research than remove anything you don't know. And yes, if I need to make you understand everything I added in wikipedia, then it is a waste of my time.

And just for the record, it is you, Nigelj, who will hit 3RR first, not me. Do not use that misleading section title in my talk page. Raysonho (talk) 21:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase appears in quotation marks because Nigelj is quoting your edit summary.

The three-revert rule is a bright-line rule, not an entitlement to be exploited. Edit-warring is disruptive, and declaring that you intend to continue (on the basis that you'll win because the other party will be forced to stop first) is highly inappropriate. —David Levy 23:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As you said that it is not a bright-line rule - I am breaking it myself to show you that I am not using it to game the system. And, as Nigelj started the edit war first and I reminded him of the 3RR. So, is "gaming the 3RR" is reason for you to continue the edit war?? Raysonho (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote that it is a bright-line rule. (This is an interesting error on your part, given your uncivil comments about wondering whether Nigelj can read properly and whether he needs a new pair of glasses.)

You'll violate the three-revert rule if you perform a fourth reversion to Facebook within a 24-hour period, but that does not mean that edit warring up to that point is an entitlement. It isn't.

You didn't merely "remind him of the 3RR". You attempted to exploit it to gain an advantage in a content dispute. —David Levy 00:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, I am just reminding Nigelj not to 3RR just because he warned me about the edit war. This does not mean that I am gaming the system (and I really think that you wrongly accused me about this, David).

(Discission goes on on the Talk:Facebook‎ page.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raysonho (talk • contribs) 01:50, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could have written "Let's avoid hitting the 3RR". Instead, you noted that Nigelj would "hit 3RR first". This conveyed that you could revert once more with impunity after Nigelj reached the limit.

Fortunately, that isn't how Wikipedia works. Editors aren't entitled to three reversions each.—David Levy 02:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Removal of advert tag on Rogers Communications

If you want to go to the wall (for your employer?), try removing the advert tag on Rogers Communications again and see what happens. I'm watching. HuntClubJoe (talk) 06:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@HuntClubJoe: Seemed fine to me as well so I've removed it once again. You don't have consensus; the place to get that is on article's discussion page. Further, your tone and baseless allegations seem rather inappropriate for a collaborative project. Rather than clutter our friend Raysonho's talk page, you are more than welcome to speak with me on mine about it; your posturing is unthreatening to this particular contributor. -- dsprc ^[talk] 17:17, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting song (the first link doesn't work as it is not made available to Canadian Youtube users). And thanks for your Commons contributions too - I am a big supporter of Commons and released almost 3,000 photos into the public domain. BTW, based on your uploads, is it safe to assume that you are in the states? Raysonho (talk) 03:07, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, figured the track would be geo-blocked like that (which is is totally bogus, BTW). Most of the time I'm in the States but do travel more than I'd like to. Most of my uploads are due in part to Florida's permissive copyright on content they produce -- unlike other locales -- so is way less hassle to liberate their works. Would upload their stuff en-mass but much of it is low quality so have to manually curate most of it. -- dsprc ^[talk] 14:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@HuntClubJoe: First of all, I have never violated the 3RR. If your claim is based on the contents of my talk page, then the first (which occurred in 2008) was an editor trying to warn me that I would violate the 3RR the next time I revert his edit. Then the second mention of the 3RR on my talk page was due to me trying to go to the other side and be that asshole that warns an editor that he would violate the 3RR if he revert my edits. Of course gaming the system like that is not very productive, and thus the editor who left the first comment was blocked many times, and I was told not to start edit wars. And with your comments on my talk page it loops back yet again! And secondly I don't and I am not planning to work for Rogers. But if removing the advert tag or the delete tag that were added without any explanation would turn one into an employee, then yeah, I work for hundreds of companies, municipalities and universities.

A discussion involving recent behaviour by fellow contributors

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Possible uncivil conduct; requesting mediation. Thank you. -- dsprc ^[talk] 14:12, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message and sorry for the late reply, Dsprc! I didn't have time to edit photos and thus I didn't log in recently. Raysonho (talk) 03:32, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No biggie. The issue has resolved itself in any event. As you were! :) -- dsprc ^[talk] 15:20, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
