[edit] G80

G80 "rumors" have been reported and independently cofirmed by various "news" sites. Very rarely are specifications for any kind of processing hardware released to the general public, they are stolen from internal engineering presentations or leaked by egineers. The vast majority of the information already on the table did not originate, in fact, with nVidia. My intent with adding that to the article was primarily to begin the work of adding the information for a new generation of hardware, which requires a table reformat et al. Not to "report rumours."

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics/Kerala

Hello! Can you please add Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics/Kerala to your watchlist, so that you don't miss out on the Kerala related discussions? Thanks! -- thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK10:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pradip Somasundaran

This is a message to all Category:Kerala Wikipedians

I want your opinion on this particular person Pradip Somasundaran. He claims to be a famous singer in Kerala. Now being a Malayalee, I have not heard of this person before, so I wonder whether or not you have heard of him before and set this issue straight. If so, then please let your opinion be counted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pradip Somasundaran. Please note that by voicing your opinion as a Malayalee/Keralite will add more weight to your words.

Many Thanks --Ageo020 21:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Need for Speed: Underground

Thanks for your concern, but I'm not sure what you mean by your uploading problem, as the uploading function shouldn't even fail in dial-up connections. Could you provide the names given the new images? Neither Image:NFS U PC.jpg nor Image:Nfsubox.jpg have detected any new image uploads. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 15:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC) ╫

The lag when updating image is common but addressable. I have encountered this "image distortion" issue a few times, but after a while, the new version usually shows up. But as stated, I'm haven't find any clue that indicates Image:NFS U PC.jpg or Image:Nfsubox.jpg have been updated, so I'm not sure which image you are referring to. Usually, if an image is uploaded to another image with the same name, the image's page should record any replacements. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 17:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC) ╫
Unfortunately, I'm really busy right now, and I'm not the position to spend some time looking for a proper cover art. I'm afraid you have to look for someone else to do this. Sorry. :( ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 18:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC) ╫

[edit] PC Tools (Windows software suite)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article PC Tools (Windows software suite), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (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. intgr 03:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tomb Raider Move

I know you were trying to help, but when you move an article, you're supposed to use the move function instead of creating a new article and then redirecting. The move function moves over the article histories. I reverted your move, and tried to do it properly, but since you already created an article with the new title, it wouldn't let me. I've filed a request for an administrator to do it. Please do not try to do it yourself in the interim. ColdFusion650 19:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

When you want to move an article, click "Move" at the top of the page. This moves the edit history as well. On the move page it says "Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text." Since it's the only thing on the list of uncontested moves, it should get taken care of fairly quickly by administrator. ColdFusion650 19:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Tomb Raider Anniversary cover art

I guess you're right. Though there are certainly variants of the cover art for other systems which are more art and less advertisement. - Cyrus XIII 21:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "articles with quotes"

Hello. Have y'all been creating redirects articles with the names surrounded in quotes? Someone has been tagging such as "improbable misspellings" and I've been speedily deleting them as such. If this is a mistake, please let me know, and I will undo what I've done. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 16:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. That's what I thought. I was just afraid I was messing up someone else's work.

"Frank Stefanko" is an example. There are more at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 19:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

cool Thanks again. Dlohcierekim 19:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cricketainment a legitimate article

Cricketainment is a valid word and is newly coined word in 2008. Cricketainment is very much a part of reality and this word is already popular with a huge section of people in India and elsewhere. It should be noted that "cricketainment" is not merely a word but a new concept of entertainment that is revolutionizing the sports and entertainment sector in India. Also it should not be redirected to IPL since IPL is one of the clubs which is merely implementing the concept. Even ICL is implementing cricketainment, and in future more clubs or organizations may participate. So i strongly feel that such an article should exist as it defines a new concept and merits it existence in Wikipedia with more contributions from people. I think it very well serves the purpose for which wikipedia was establised to include new terms, concepts and grow this encyclopedia to encompass knowledge around us.

[edit] disagreee with your views

i think my article was inline with the 5 pillars of wikipedia. Reasons 1. There are many similar articles in Sports entertainment category like cricketainment. 2. Cricketainment is a very verifiable article with numerous references to it on the net and media. its just that not much is written about it since not many people are aware about it. 3. 'spare the rod' Are such statements threatening people with dire consequences allowed in wiki. I did not see them in the 5 pillars or any of the guidelines.
