[edit] 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)

[edit] Ownship

But, like the person above implied, once you do categorise an article, like you did with Ownship (TYVM!), please remove the categorise tag as it is no longer needed!

  • Will do, guess I missed that oneCander0000 22:11, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

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

[edit] 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.

  • Fair enough, I was trying to gather up some legacy 'operating systems' and group them, regardless of whether they were primarily targeted at home users, business users, etc. I appreciate your suggestion.

[edit] Texter

I noticed you edited the Texter article, if you use it you can add {{User:Jmfangio/Userbox:Texter}} to your userpage! :-) Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  17:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

  • 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)

[edit] 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)

  • 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)
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)
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)

[edit] 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)

  • 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)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Amadeus IT Group logo.gif

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] FIDE World Rankings

What's not English in the article? I have removed the tag, because FIDE is the name of the organisation. It is all English. Alex Holowczak (talk) 12:31, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

My thought to have the organization name "Fédération Internationale des Échecs", translated into English, which upon further examination means "World Chess Federation" in French. Cander0000 (talk) 19:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MscGen

has been categorized Category:Software. Could you please take a look at that category; it's the top of the software tree and not generally used for detail articles. Thanks tooold 01:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

same comment re SoulPad. Thanks again, tooold 01:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Excellent catch! I've pushed them down into Category:Programming tools and Category:Mobile software, respectively. Cander0000 (talk) 18:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RoS (computing)

has been categorized Category:Computing. Could you please take a look at that category; it's the top of the computing tree and not generally used for detail articles (there are a couple that DO belong there). Probably should have the same categories as computer cluster. Thanks 69.106.255.221 (talk) 04:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paramahamsa Hariharananda

Hi, I saw that you are making major improvements on the article. Will you kindly look at what I have written HERE with regards to the questionable "REFERENCES" (actually, only one reference was given, so it should only be REFERENCE) and tales that borders on stupidity. Do you think it is worth editing or just have it nominated for deletion? Paramahamsa Hariharananda closed in quotation marks only returned 6,130 hits in Google while Paramahansa Yogananda closed in quotation marks returned 302,000 hits, add to that the 71,800 hits when you search using the alternative spelling of Paramhansa Yogananda (third "a" removed in Paramahansa). I mean, by comparative analysis we can clearly establish a notability guideline in this particular genre of gurus, and Hariharananda comes out as just isn't notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia, in fact there is no encyclopedia in the world that mentions his name. - Shannon Rose (talk) 19:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

You know, I don't have any subject matter expertise. Just as an objective outsider, I removed some of the more blatant statements that were going to be unverifiable and seemed to call into question the article as a hoax, or someone discussing a mythological figure as if they were real. The references someone mentioned on the talk page seem to establish the person is actually real. Those references need to be incorporated into the article, and it's still pretty low quality, but is the person notable enough to warrant an article even with improvements? You may have to refer to Wikipedia:Notability (people) to decide. Cander0000 (talk) 20:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
