The Linux article question

Hi, I'm Medende. As you have found out, there are a bunch of invasive people who are privately imposing the developments of the Linux article. They have being doing so for at least quite a few years now. I want to get rid of them, and let the Linux article be reshaped to reflect the real world. You are welcome to support my poll about the Linux-GNU/Linux controversy at the end of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Linux#Linux_is_a_.2AKERNEL.2A.2C_Not_an_OS Medende (talk) 01:31, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 2013

Hello, I'm DragonLord. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your edit used the term "Digital Restrictions Management", replacing "rights" with "restrictions" in the original term "digital rights management". This replacement is common among anti-DRM advocates who want to emphasize that DRM restricts legal uses of copyrighted content. However, as much as we hate DRM, this phrasing is non-neutral because it favors this anti-DRM position. —DragonLord ^talk^/^contribs 21:17, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Church–Turing thesis

Please revisit your statement in the intro to the Church-Turing Thesis, as it is inaccurate as written and could potentially confuse some readers. The Church-Turing thesis is about the nature of computability: i.e., what it means to calculate something. It's a stretch to say that the thesis is about the ability of software to simulate hardware and vice versa. For example, Kurt Godel's work on general recursion is neither about hardware nor software. Instead, it defines a class of mathematical functions. Any function whose values can be calculated can be re-written as a generally recursive function. It's not just about computers -- it's about the deep connections between all these attempts to define what it means to compute something, be they mechanistic (Turing machine), algorithmic (lambda calculus), or mathematical (general recursion).

The ability of general purpose software systems to simulate general purpose computer hardware is a consequence of a related but independent idea: Turing completeness. Your statement is an informal way of thinking about Turning completeness.

@Ross Fraser: I am willing to improve the statement, but I'm afraid you have failed to present valid arguments against its current incarnation and its suitability as part of the introduction to the Church-Turing thesis. Firstly, you claim it may confuse readers because it goes beyond the academical scope of the thesis, however, my sentence is an attempt at presenting ordinary readers with the real world implications (factually true implications, I think) that arise from it. Wikipedia strives to make its content intriguing to and readable by non-experts, specially in the lead paragraph; so the validity of my statement should be disputed solely on its factual accuracy. You claimed (without further details) the sentence is inaccurate and then you wrote a quite nice brief about Church-Turing's thesis which I think makes nothing but reaffirm its accuracy. Here's why:

The Church-Turing thesis is about the nature of computability, what it means to carry out an effective method. Granted, but not only this. The Church-Turing thesis is also about the tested equivalence of all those models for computation you just mentioned (UTMs, recursive functions, lambda calculus) and the intuition that they must conform the true nature of computability. Of course involving actual hardware and actual software (computing devices) into the scene is a stretch, it doesn't make it inaccurate though. I would like to point out that no specific hardware or software implementations were advertised, just "hardware" and "software". I would also like to interject about the bad distinction you made when you classified the involved models: all lambda calculus, algorithms, recursive functions and Turing machines (just as finite state automata) are defined in mathematical terms; moreover, lambda calculus may be regarded as a notation for recursive functions and Turing machines aren't exempt of being abstract models having a set of rules or instructions that work just like specific functions that together are called the "transition function", not coincidently. In a nutshell, saying Gödel's general recursion is mathematical whereas lambda calculus and Turing machines aren't is nonsense.

In any case, to claim that Turing-complete hardware is capable of simulating Turing-complete-like or lesser software and the other way around is of great concern to the Church-Turing Thesis article. It's true that in the end computer programs are actually performed by hardware, nonetheless it wouldn't be different if one analytically carried out those algorithms using lambda calculus (which serves as model for many programming languages) or recursivity; because the Church-Turing thesis says those are equivalent and mutually imitable ways of computing. Note how functional programming languages are actually functional in the mathematical sense. Other interesting mathematical results like the Curry–Howard correspondence show software is a mathematical object, a formal logical proof to be precise. Did you notice I also added a link to Turing completeness? That wasn't a confusion but a genuine link that would help readers know why all forms of Turing-complete hardware are theoretically equivalent, just as Turing-complete machines, Post machines, general recursive functions, and lambda calculus are equivalent per Church-Turing's thesis.

Yes, my edit sounds terribly informal, that was on purpose. That's why I decided to append it to a paragraph that already talked about the informal meaning of the thesis and took care with the wording while also trying not to be too technical. Please feel free to write back if you can point me out specific inaccuracies. --isacdaavid 20:31, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility Toolkit

Thanks for your contribution to this article, but by longstanding consensus operating systems that use the Linux kernel are called "Linux" on Wikipedia, as per WP:COMMONNAME and also MOS:LINUX. "GNU/Linux" is considered a minority POV term used by the FSF and its supporters. On Wikipedia the term is only used to describe distros when the distro itself is called "GNU/Linux", such as "Debian GNU/Linux", and then only when referring to the distro itself. If you want to change this consensus then the way to go about is not by trying to insert the term GNU/Linux into articles like Accessibility Toolkit. You should read Talk:Linux including all the archives of that page, to get the history of the problem as well as Talk:Linux/Name as this is where past consensuses have been formed. You will also want to read GNU/Linux naming controversy and its talk page as background as well. When you have the history of the consensus read then you can present your case at Talk:Linux to try to convince the other editors that all references "Linux" other than to the kernel itself in Wikipedia should be changed to "GNU/Linux". Be advised that this has been brought up dozens of times there, including recently and has always been soundly and conclusively opposed. - Ahunt (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Factually wrong. "GNU/Linux" is a term promoted by the FSF and its supporters but not only the FSF and its supporters. I can give you over 50 prominent users of that term which aren't affiliated to the FSF, GNU or their sub-projects.

I'm well aware of the consensus and the talk pages you are pointing out, and I still disagree with the resolution (quite controversial to say the least) and will pretty much continue improving the English-language Wikipedia the way I deem intellectually correct unless a reasonable argument makes me change my mind.

Not only this consensus is misguided, but it also isn't properly observed by its promoters. You and MOS:LINUX say verbatim that:

operating systems that use the Linux kernel are called "Linux"

yet I don't see the Android (operating system) article being merged or renamed into Linux because it is exactly that: an operating system that uses the Linux kernel.

I am willing to defend my case at Talk:Linux, but I wouldn't wait until I'm given communal green light to fix this naming issue that can't be simply decided through a voting process; because in fact I have already appeared a few times at Talk:Linux, and I can tell that what you describe as soundly and conclusively opposed is a very hyperbolic claim to say the least, which simply neglects all the countless Wikipedians and reliable sources that want to use "GNU/Linux" for very good reasons. Meanwhile you can expect me to keep changing "Linux" to "GNU/Linux" when it is semantically appropriate to do so. I am sorry if this means doing more work for you and for me. --isacdaavid 05:14, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend that you pursue a new consensus, as intentionally editing against a long-standing consensus like this can be seen as intentional disruption and may result in a block. - Ahunt (talk) 13:27, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:38, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help us design granular blocks!

Hello :-) The Anti-Harassment Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation will start building these granular blocking tools in a few weeks and we've asked WMF designer Alex Hollender to help us make some wireframes so the tools are intuitive to MediaWiki users.

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T190350

We have a first draft of how we think this tool should work. You can read the full proposed implementation here but here are the significant parts:

Granular blocks (page, category, namespace, and file uploading) will be built on top of Special:Block. These blocks will function as if they were regular blocks and allow for the same options, but only take effect on specific pages.
We will add a new checkbox for "Block this user from the whole site" which will be checked by default. When it is unchecked the admin will be able to specify which pages, categories, and/or namespaces the user should be blocked from editing.
Granular blocks can be combined and/or overlap. (For example, a user could be simultaneously blocked from editing the articles Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and all pages inside the Category:Weather.)
Only one block is set at a time, to adjust what the user is blocked from the administrator would have to modify the existing block.
Block logs should display information about the granular block
When a blocked user attempts to edit an applicable page, they should see a block warning message which include information on their block (reason, expiration, what they are blocked from, etc.)
If a category is provided, the blocked user cannot edit either the category page itself and all pages within the category.
If the File: namespace is blocked, the user should not be allowed to upload files.

We like this direction because it builds on top of the existing block system, both a technical and usability wise. Before we get too far along with designs and development we'd like to hear from you about our prosposal:

What do you think of the proposed implementation?
We believe this should be an expansion of Special:Block, but it has been suggested that this be a new special page. What are your thoughts?
Should uploading files be combined with a File namespace block, or as a separate option? (For example, if combined, when a user is blocked from the File namespace, they would neither be able to edit any existing pages in the File namespace nor upload new files.)
Should there be a maximum number of things to be blocked from? Or should we leave it up to admin discretion?

We appreciate your feedback on this project's talk page or by email. For the Anti-Harassment Tools team, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020

Hello Isacdaavid. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Isacdaavid. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Isacdaavid|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. GSS ^💬 09:36, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS: this must be a mistake. I am aware of the paid editing policy and the mandatory disclosure, and I wish I could be compensated for my voluntary work at Wikipedia. I am a grad student who has had no employers for years. I do have a link from my user page to a donations page on my website, but I have never received a buck and would have no problem in removing it altogether. Nor did I offer commissioned edits in exchange for donations (it was just that, a "donations" page for people who might appreciate my unpaid edits). Which edits do you think reflect advocacy? I am interested in making my editing more neutral and appropriate. --isacdaavid 22:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you then please explain how it is that the page you created for Ralphie Dee was virtually word-for-word identical at its inception to the version created by the article subject, which was deleted over two years before you posted your submission? And perhaps also indicate what prompted you to create that article shortly after Mr Dee posted an advert on Upwork asking to have it recreated? Yunshui ^雲 _水 07:59, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well-spotted, I had forgotten about that one. I was unaware of the paid-editing policy back then, but I was paid nonetheless. In my defense, I accepted the job only because I assessed the bio's conformance to the rest of the policies (encyclopedic relevance, reliable references, neutral POV, free/libre content, etc.), like the rest of my edits. I was given a draft which I then improved, I wasn't informed about the article's previous existence and removal. I am a well-meaning and relentless editor with no interest in Wikipedia other than advancing the community's own goals; my many contributions since 2011 can attest to it (including other examples of article creation). In that vein, I want to accept the consequences for this mistake. --isacdaavid 00:12, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
