MarkMonitor

Hi Danhash. In Septmeber 2011 you left a comment on the MarkMonitor article. Since you have demonstrated an interest in the subject (and perhaps are somewhat familiar with it) I wanted to request a moment of your time to review my proposed edits for neutrality. You can see my Talk page comment and disclosure in this string here and the proposed article draft here. King4057 (talk) 06:44, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Placebo - iTunes Live- London Festival '09.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Placebo - iTunes Live- London Festival '09.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) 20:05, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 Fixed. —danhash (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Editing I've made some changes (well, I'm making them now...) and I'd be happy to help you some. If you want a quick look at some higher-quality album articles that I've written or co-written, see Illinois (album), ETHWHT, New Multitudes, and Backspacer. Alternately, just take a look at Category:GA-Class Album articles and Category:FA-Class Album articles. Please post to my talk if you want my help with this or any other issue. —Justin (koavf)TCM04:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Good questions I changed the hyphen to an endash per WP:DASH. As that part of the Manual of Style reads, "Two forms of dash are used on Wikipedia"—it doesn't explicitly state if this is only on content or if it applies to sources as well. I know that our MOS trumps the formatting of quotations and it seems reasonable that it would apply to the formatting of sources as well.
As for the cover image, it was named File:791_1326897699_1323968965_placebo_-_live_at_angkor_wat.jpg, whereas it should be given a more simple an intelligible name, like File:Placebo - Live at Angkor Wat.jpg. I actually changed the text of the article before I decided to move the file, thinking that it would be a simple process. It turns out the cover image was uploaded at Wikimedia Commons which is an inappropriate venue for this, so it was deleted from Commons. It needs to be uploaded to Wikipedia only (not the Commons) and then it can be used in the article. If you need help with this, then please let me know. —Justin (koavf)TCM17:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Alright that makes sense about the image (I just recently saw the notification on the talk page about the image on commons so figured out that's why it was deleted); I'll try and upload it when I get a chance or you feel free if you want. I guess that makes sense with the dashes, though I wish we had a formal policy. I've seen this discussed before with dashes.js. Thanks. —danhash (talk) 18:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
MOS I posted to WT:MOS and was directed to this: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Allowable_typographical_changes. —Justin (koavf)TCM20:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Cinavia Article

Thank you for cleaning it up! I had previously tried only to get my edits undone, I will add it to my watch list and keep an eye on your changes.

Great job! Tyros1972 (talk) 07:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! It's been in terrible shape for a while and I've been wanting to clean it up. There are far too many articles in similar states of disarray which need attention. I encourage you to keep improving it! —danhash (talk) 20:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Cinavia

Going over the change-logs for the Cinavia entry, and it appeared as though you removed the known releases containing the water marking. Please undo your edit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.212.215 (talk) 23:20, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

<- I have to agree with this user. You're deleting valuable information in the name of tidiness. Also - I have no idea what I'm doing editing this, but I know that you've deleted valuable information from wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.136.126 (talkcontribs) 02:32, 23 April 2012
Please see Talk:Cinavia/Archive 1#Article clean up. I do not feel like repeating myself. —danhash (talk) 13:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Digital rights management

I noticed you reverted my edit. No problem with that. I am just wondering what the 'spoiler' on images like this: File:Watermark sample.jpg would be termed as?--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

There are different types of digital watermarks, and the watermarks section of digital rights management is about imperceptible watermarks (steganographically-embedded data that is designed to be and claimed to be imperceptible). The image you provided is an example of a perceptible watermark. While both perceptible and imperceptible watermarks are classified as "digital watermarks", they are separate things with (at least somewhat) separate purposes and uses. Cinavia is an example of an imperceptible watermark; when consumers use the affected media as the copyright holders intended, there is (supposedly) no loss of quality and "legitimate" consumers will supposedly not be affected. While perceptible watermarks may lower the value of media they are added to, the section in question is about imperceptible watermarks, and while imperceptible watermarks arguably lower the value of the media they are added to as well, that is not their purpose in the same sense that "recording the copyright owner", "recording the distributor", "recording the distribution chain", and "identifying the purchaser of the music" are. —danhash (talk) 18:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
I see. Would my image fit as example here: Digital_watermarking#Perceptibility then?--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:58, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
While I think a better example of a perceptible watermark could be found, that seems like a legitimate place for an example such as yours. I was was thinking how it'd be good to have an example of an imperceptible watermark as well, but of course that wouldn't make much sense if the watermark was truly imperceptible. Perhaps an audio clip with an imperceptible watermark and spectrum analysis of the audio could be created and added to audio watermark detection. Ideas, ideas. —danhash (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I have done sound editing. If I can find a PD sound file and a freeware program that adds watermarks, I may try a screen shot of the spectra of the sound files before and after.--Canoe1967 (talk) 19:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I just realized that this image of a perceptible watermark (which, to me, seems like a better example) is already used at digital watermarking, but it is not specifically labeled as having a perceptible watermark. Maybe a better caption could be used? —danhash (talk) 19:44, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
That would be great. What I'd really like is something like this for Cinavia, but it seems like it hasn't been figured out yet. The album Turning Season Within was leaked online before its release with spoken voiceovers (i.e. perceptible watermarks) added; I wonder if a short audio clip of one of the voice overs would be fair use? —danhash (talk) 19:48, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
I adjusted the caption. I have the unmarked picture of my the sheep. I can add any perceptible watermark to it as well as a sample of imperceptible in the same image. I could include a screenshot of the imperceptible?--Canoe1967 (talk) 19:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps stacking the three images vertically with {{multiple image}} and using a perceptible watermark that is easily read at thumbnail size? —danhash (talk) 20:30, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Soladigm Article

I noticed you nominated the Soladigm Article for deletion. It appears, however, that the updates and sources issues have been resolved. Could you please point out what needs to be done to improve the article to remove the proposed deletion? I'm a bit baffled as to why this article was singled out, as I've seen several other Wikipedia articles with much less complete and less notable content but no deletion proposal (examples: Pyron Solar, Sulfurcell, etc.). Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this. Electrochromismexpert (talk) 04:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I proposed deletion before the issues were fixed. I'm still not sure it's a notable company since the article was hardly updated in 3 years and it took a speedy nom, a prod, and an AfD before anyone added sources. As it stands now, the deletion discussion has my nomination to delete and one keep vote. I am not opposed to the article being kept if more eyes will be on it, but I think it needs to be looked at closely and expanded a bit to be worthy of being kept. Three years with no updates is a long time for a notable company to have such a bad article, so it doesn't seem terribly likely to me that the company is notable unless someone is willing to actually put some work in to demonstrate why it's notable. —danhash (talk) 14:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

It should take less than ten minutes to respond. We would greatly appreciate if you had the time to participate! Regards, Nettrom (talk) 18:23, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, just stopping by with a one-time reminder that we would really like to hear from you! Cheers, Nettrom (talk) 20:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Skiptrace, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Attorney (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dashes & AutoEd

Dan, you commented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GregU/dashes.js#AutoEd that you couldn't get Dashes & AutoEd to work together, and said "enabling" is needed on Chrome. I've experienced the same problem, and can't figure out what to do. If, on my vector.js, I put one below the other like this:

importScript("User:GregU/dashes.js");
importScript('Wikipedia:AutoEd/complete.js');
I get the second one working, but not the first. But I can't find anything on my Chrome to do the enabling. Can you help? Thanks. --S. Rich (talk) 00:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Take a look at my common.js (scroll down to "AutoEd modules"). Dashes will run if I run AutoEd in Chrome, but since Dashes is enabled it is the only module that will run. If Dashes finds no changes to make (for example if it has already been run on the page once), then the rest of the AutoEd modules will run just fine in Chrome. So if you'd like to use Dashes and other AutoEd modules in Chrome, you can run AutoEd once, which will run Dashes, save the page, then run AutoEd again which will run the other modules. Let me know if you can't make it work. —danhash (talk) 22:34, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Sayonara Player

Hello Danhash!

On Friday I added Sayonara Player to the list, but after a few hours it was removed again with the reason that there exists no article to it. For Decibel there exists no article either but I am sure, that there will be one in future.

Please reintegrate this entry.
