[edit] Manual of Style for trademarks

Please refer to the Manual of Style for trademarks - Do not use the ™ and ® symbols, or similar, unless unavoidably necessary for context (for instance, to distinguish between generic and brand names for drugs). There is no unavoidable need here to use the symbol. It is unsightly and not relevant to Wikipedia users. Please see for examples every other product sold known to man - iPod, Walkman, MacBook Pro, Viagra, etc. We do not use it in Wikipedia articles. Please stop inserting it. Thanks.

[edit] "Parity"

The mention of the trademark application for Wikipedia is a tiny part of a larger, broader article about the development and founding of Wikipedia. The symbol is used once, deep in the body of the article, and not in the article's title. If and when the article about Time Machine is developed to the point where information about its trademark would be relevant, perhaps a similar small mention could be included. But at this point, the article hardly even mentions what the program does. I would suggest that if you really want people on Wikipedia to know what Time Machine is, you focus on writing... oh, I don't know, some information in the article about what the software does, rather than edit-warring over a useless and uninformative paragraph letting everyone know that it's been trademarked.

And, so you decided as GOD of Wikipedia to delete the entire content? And why would you not even list you reasoning? Idiot!

[edit] Discussion at ANI

Hi,

Thought you'd like to know, recent activity by yourself and FCYTravis is being discussed at the Administrator's noticeboard.

As you are fairly new to Wikipedia, I thought you'd want to know. This is the venue where editing problems usually end up for examination by more experienced editors, if there is a concern that can't be sorted out on the spot. You're welcome to contribute, as is anyone who can shed light on the matter from different viewpoints.

Best,

Sure, I am new to this. And I did have a really hard time getting a request for mediation in place after numerous attempts with user FCYTravis failed. However, I still do not understand why there is no longer a Time Machine (Solution-Soft Software) page. I would like an explantion on that as well as the ability to roll-back the large amount of article text that was in there (not with (tm) symbol, prior to user|FCYTravis getting the giggles with the delete button.

Also, can I get some clarification why after following the example of (tm) used in the article for Wikipedia user|FCYTravis still felt it was OK to delete. Is there a double standard?
