Disputed fair use rationale for Image:FileZilla icon.png

Thanks for uploading Image:FileZilla icon.png. 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 (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Weight training

Hi,

I reverted your addition to weight training - the strength training article has the basic principles of hypertrophy and muscle strength and endurance increases, and also has a terminology section. Basic principles should go there, having a terminology section in the WT article creates a need for a discussion of the principles and common modes of weight training, leading to a huge duplication of content between ST and WT which isn't really needed. WT should have information specific to gravity-based training while ST covers all aspects that are common to weight training, isometric training, resistance training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, etc.

Also, your talk page is pretty long, have you considered archiving? Long pages take longer to load up for people on slow servers. If you paste the following onto your page, it'll archive automatically anything older than 7 days. Very convenient. Paste it at the very top of the page (without the nowiki tags) and it'll take care of everything for you. WLU (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MRU.png

Thank you for uploading Image:MRU.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of computer hardware manufacturers

An editor has nominated List of computer hardware manufacturers, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of computer hardware manufacturers and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Examplewebsite.PNG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Examplewebsite.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 15:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

BFQ

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of BFQ, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Budget_Fair_Queuing_IO_Scheduler. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Zypper

A tag has been placed on Zypper, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Wikieditor 222    22:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the tag, as it's clearly not patent nonsense. Wikieditor: please contact me if you have any questions. --Rory096 22:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Free software hardware testing platform

Hello, Frap,

I've seen you've started an article on Phoronix Test Suite. I'd like to ask you'd want to start an article on Inquisitor, a hardware testing platform that has the similar structure as Phoronix has, but different aims: it aims to do hardware stress testing. Also, it's somewhat more mature than Phoronix's and would release final version 3.0 soon. Would this project qualify for an article in Wikipedia? --GreyCat (talk) 23:06, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Virtual girlfriend

Blacknet

The article Blacknet has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

October 2008

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User:Harrop mark, you will be blocked from editing. Vandalizing user pages is still vandalism. Quadrius^Contribs 14:58, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're mistaken. I did page blank an userpage, but it was not vandalizing. -- Frap (talk) 15:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

MOHA Chat - Notability

I would like to know how the notability of MOHA Chat can be established. IMHO, MOHA Chat is a notable open source chat application written in PHP. Mohanjith (talk) 16:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

FYI, the project has been around since January, 2007. See Sourceforge stats for MOHA Chat. It has more than 23,000 downloads. You are correct about low number of Google hits. Do you still think the project is not notable? Thank you for your time. Mohanjith (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I have removed the notability tag. Mohanjith (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:FileZilla icon.png)

Thanks for uploading File:FileZilla icon.png. 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) 05:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

References

You added valuable information to the article California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. In it you use two references, "Eskridge" and "Shilts". Could you please add some more information about them, like title, ISBN, publisher. Perhaps consider using the cite book template. Debresser (talk) 12:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I don't have them. I copied it from the article Black_Cat_Bar#Police_harassment. -- Frap (talk) 13:29, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

That's enough information for me. I'll fix it. Thanks. Debresser (talk) 13:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Comparison of CPU architectures

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Comparison of CPU architectures, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

To little context to make article usable

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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. Passportguy (talk) 16:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

OFono... or rather oFono

Just so you know for the future, if you have an article that correctly starts with a lowercase letter you can force the software to display the title as such by adding {{lowercase}} to the top of the article. Hope this helps. ~ mazca ^t|c 20:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of IOzone

The article IOzone has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pontificalibus (talk) 12:07, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Edits to pages in user space

I'm sure you meant well, but User:Jeh/3GB_Barrier is a work page, or draft, of mine. It is not meant for public editing. If you had a suggestion you should have put a note on my primary talk page.

Yes, I feel that this applies even to such trivial changes as the ones you made. No harm done here, but the whole point of user-specific work pages is that the user can work on them free of any possibility of conflicting edits. Thank you for your understanding. Jeh (talk) 10:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dermalogica

A tag has been placed on Dermalogica requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. elektrikSHOOS 17:55, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Unix shell infobox

Can you share your thoughts regarding the infobox? Okay, I put it there and I'm a newbie and still trying to learn how to do things right, so maybe it was just dumb in the first place. Do you have pointers to the guidelines on pictures like that? Personally, I'm quite visual and find that a well thought-out picture helps me take in information, e.g., in this case, the very basic context of character windows on a desktop where you type commands. Are you open to reconsidering? Msnicki (talk) 00:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

The Infobox_software template is for articles about software applications, i.e. implementations. Unix shells is not a software, but a type of software. I agree that images are good for articles and find that well thought-out images helps me take in information. The software_infobox template is unsuitable. But adding just the image might be appropriate. However, even then the screenshot will be of the terminal emulator, and not so much of a Unix shell. -- Frap (talk) 00:26, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

I think you are right about the kind of box; that's a good suggestion and I'll fix that, if that would work for you. But did you look at the image close-up? I tried to show (and point out in the comment) the differing styles of tcsh and sh, not just several windows with junk in them. I tried to put some thought into it. Please take another look and let me know what you think. Regards, Msnicki (talk) 02:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

It is a good intention to show and point out the differing styles. Since the Aqua interface in Mac OS X is copyrighted/proprietary/owned, it might be more suitable to take such a screenshot in a free environment. (Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:Non-free content) -- Frap (talk) 03:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

If you're up for creating one, no objections, but this one already exists and it comes with a rationale that should be acceptable. I first used it on the C shell page, where I actually go into detail on the examples it shows. If you're okay on this, I'll restore the image but with just a file box with a thumbnail, not an infobox. Does that work for you? Msnicki (talk) 03:33, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Do so. -- Frap (talk) 03:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. This was very pleasant. You were right. The infobox wasn't the best way to do it. Cheers! Msnicki (talk) 04:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
• If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing!HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 03:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

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 revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was 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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Acalamari 15:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Done. Frap (talk) 12:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2011

Hi. I've just reverted your move of Machine-to-Machine to Machine-to-machine because the capitalisation is common usage. I've noticed several other edits you'd made recently, mostly involving hyphenation, where you've departed from common usage. Please check carefully before making such changes. andy (talk) 09:00, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I followed WP:MOS#Article_titles which says that words in article titles should not be capitalized. Also used same naming convention as in Peer-to-peer and Friend-to-friend. -- Frap (talk) 09:16, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

• It's not as simple as that. Wikipedia:Article_titles states: "The initial letter of a title is almost always capitalized; subsequent words in a title are not, unless they are part of a proper name, and so would be capitalized in running text". Proper noun explains that "capitalizing common nouns is considered formally incorrect outside of sentence-initial or title case contexts". Since the conventional abbreviation is M2M I think this counts as a legitimate use of title case. andy (talk) 09:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Well the conventional abbreviation of peer-to-peer is P2P (not P2p or p2p), yet its peer-to-peer, not Peer-to-Peer. -- Frap (talk) 10:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion

I see that you moved Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion to "Electrically-powered spacecraft propulsion" in February. WP:HYPHEN states that "A hyphen is not used after a standard -ly adverb", and this is in accordance with the great majority of published style guides. I have moved the article hack to its unhyphenated title. There were 56 links to the hyphenated title, and 112 links to the unhyphenated title (exactly twice as many). I hope this doesn't rock your boat too much. Happy editing! Chris the speller ^yack 16:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

As far as I am concerned WP:MOS (WP:HYPHEN) should be followed (as was and is my intention), but it seems I might have made a mistake. I don't know which title is correct, but if i was in error, then thanks for fixing it. Amount of links is irrelevant to me, I just want it to be correct. -- Frap (talk) 17:46, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Program counter

I tried clicking on the two external links that you added... but my browser doesn't seem to do anything with them... it just gives a blank screen for me. Do you have any thoughts on what can be done (either at the Wikipedia article end, or else to my browser) to get it to work? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Chaning x64 to x86-64

Hello, Frap. How do you do?

It seems you are on crusade to change every instance of x64 to x86-64. I do not mind your doing it; though I feel this is just a color of the bike shed issue. However, I just advise you not to do it: Soon, someone will propose that x86-64 is not in use at all but x64 is wide use, so the article should be renamed x64.

Quad-core diagram

It would be nice if you could make a quad-core image of File:Dual Core Generic.svg for the multi-core processor article. -- Frap (talk) 13:03, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure what that would add -- it would be the same diagram with four cpus and caches instead of 2. I think that the two core diagram illustrates the concept more clearly. Dennis (talk) 13:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

There are many ways to quad-core. Example one die with 4 cores or 2 dies with 2 cores. -- Frap (talk) 22:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi Frap, do you think you could use edit summaries more of the time? A simple c/e (copy edit) would do for edits like this - it only takes a second but saves others time as they won't have to bother checking the diff. Thanks SmartSE (talk) 19:33, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Seed oils

Are you aware of List of vegetable oils? Waitak (talk) 04:39, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I am unsure if I were aware of that article when I created the article as it was quite awhile ago. The article I created deals specially with seed oils. Not all vegetable oils are seed oils, however the article could be merged into the vegetable oils article under its own header. -- Frap (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how well it would work to put it under its own header. The majority of the oils in the list are seed oils, after all. I haven't counted the number of entries, but I'm sure there are well over 100 there. All of the ones in seed oils are already in list of vegetable oils. Waitak (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, when I created the article I wanted to explicitly collect all seed oils into one place. Frap (talk) 18:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Sorry, didn't mean that to come across as a criticism. Waitak (talk) 18:39, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Just wanted to explain why I reverted your changes to List of vegetable oils. In short:

• All of the oils that you added are already in the list, with comprehensive entries and references.
• Many if not most of the other entries in List of vegetable oils are seed oils. Having a separate section for a small selection of seed oils isn't needed.
• The organizing principle for the article, as stated in the lead-in, is by use. Having a separate section for just seed oils, particularly when so many of the other oils that are categorized by use are also seed oils, doesn't work with the way the article is currently organized.

Waitak (talk) 18:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

A quick addendum: Eyeballing the list, 88 of the approximately 125 existing entries in the list are seed oils. Waitak (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Merge "Open Source Business Models" with "Commercial Open Source Applications"?

Hi. I don't know if you're the principle author of the Open Source Business Models article, but you have certainly contributed extensively. I'm in a similar situation with a related article "Commercial Open Source Applications," and it *might* be worth the effort to merge the two.

I don't have a lot of time to put into this, but if you think it's a good idea please contact me at davofanmail at the comcast.net domain.

Hyphens, as in "privately-held company"

Please note that Wikipedia's style specifies: "A hyphen is not used after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) unless part of a larger compound (a slowly-but-surely strategy)." See WP:HYPHEN, sub-subsection 3, bullet point 4. Please do not carry out wholesale addition of hyphens in such cases. Chris the speller ^yack 15:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Admittedly, I am not always sure when to use a hyphen and not to. -- Frap (talk) 16:04, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Then it would be fine to take your best shot at hyphenation in material that you add, but it's probably better to leave the hyphenation alone in existing text unless you feel that you understand Wikipedia's style. Happy editing! Chris the speller ^yack 14:52, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Citizens of Humanity

I've completed your nomination of the Citizens of Humanity article. The debate may be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Citizens of Humanity, and I've added it to the AFD log. The only rationale I could find was your edit summary that read, in its entirety, "Advertisement". Good enough as far as it goes, but it might be helpful if you could comment at the AFD and expand your reasoning. You might want to highlight not only the flaws of the article, but why they are not repairable through editing. Lack of sources, notability, that sort of thing. Please let me know if I can be of assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 15:01, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion process

Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion (on the article Promise Technology) but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you. -- intgr [talk] 14:50, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Contributing to Wikimedia tech

Hello, Frap. I noticed from your userboxen that you're interested in programming. I thought you might want to know that the Wikimedia open source community welcomes you to get developer access so you can contribute code, critique others' commits, and generally get a better sense of how this place works on a technical level.

Also, the Wikimedia Foundation is hiring programmers, in case you know anyone who's looking. Remote work is often feasible.

MediaTek

Hey Frap,

Could you explain why the neutrality of the Overview section of the Article on MediaTek is disputed? In particular, I would like to know what is it that you find that is not conforming to Wikipedia's policy on Neutrality.

Thanks, S.Prasanna Venkatesh (talk) 03:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I assume you are an employee of MediaTek, so you shouldn't be editing Wikipedia in the first place as it is a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not for PR or marketing. Articles should follow an encyclopedic tone, and MediaTek does not. It reads like an advertisement. Articles should be written in a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, MediaTek is not. Phrases such as "market leader and a pioneer in cutting-edge SoC system" and "tender offer" is a give away. Articles which does not adhere to the principles of Wikipedia risk being deleted. -- Frap (talk) 12:14, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I am not an employee of that Company, but do work in a company that does business with MediaTek indirectly. The phrases you have mentioned are from the Company's Website--> may be they do sound like a PR campaign..But the tender offer is not something that I had edited.

Of course, I totally acknowledge the fact that articles should be neutral, given the fact I myself am a heavy user of Wikipedia and I would definitely agree that this article should be neutral as well, given the fact that I don't have any personal interest in this company. Would deleting these words make this article a better one that conforms to Wiki's standards? This is my first contribution to Wikipedia and I chose to write about MediaTek because there was hardly any info on that Company and your guidance will help me become a better contributor.

Thanks, S.Prasanna Venkatesh (talk) 20:39, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well, I suggest you read WP:NPOV and Wikipedia:Writing better articles, and also Wikipedia:Avoid_peacock_terms#Puffery. -- Frap (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, can you update SVG? see your File_talk:Blackbox.svg --Krauss (talk) 22:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you. ansh666 06:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on GA.MA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

A tag has been placed on SMC Networks, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion.

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Shell Icon Overlay Identifiers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dropbox (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Berberine. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 13:34, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I did and do not consider it an inappropriate link. The link is to an article that provides factual information along with cited sources. The article is of high quality and of encyclopedia value. Oh, and with your "rv interference with categories" you removed two categories, but I did not add any categories, I just sorted them alphabetically. -- Frap (talk) 16:16, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

That link and author are not a WP:SECONDARY source, make exaggerated false health claims or inferences, and nowhere near qualify as WP:MEDRS. Be skeptical about blogs by "Dr" somebody, who almost always is not an accurate encyclopedic source. See WP:WHYMEDRS. Zefr (talk) 17:00, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Genozip is not open source software, it is proprietary commercial software where the source code is available.
