Bleeping Computer

Hi there,

I'll be happy to restore the article for you in user space (for instance, at User:Jaypvip/Bleeping Computer) so that you can add the extra sources to it and try to improve it so that it meets the standards, and then once it is we can move it back into the encyclopædia namespace. I'd also recommend you have a look at Wikipedia:Notability (web) to cover exactly what is required for website articles.

Just drop a note on my talk page if you want it restored, or if there's anything else I can do to assist. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

All done. I suggest you consult either myself or another experienced user before moving it back, just to make sure that it meets the WP:WEB standards. Best of luck, and happy editing! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 08:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article has improved enormously - well done! I think it's definitely no longer a candidate for speedy deletion, but just to be sure it doesn't fall afoul of anything I've asked some other users to take a look and offer opinions on whether it's ready.

Bad news I'm afraid, the consensus was that the article isn't quite up to snuff just yet. The links that Ched has posted below this might be useful to you insofar as getting the article moved along; while I know a fair bit about computers, my primary interest on here is more on history and geography articles, so I may not be able to help you as well as the crew from the computing project. However, if there's anything you feel I can help with, I'll be happy to keep assisting you however I can. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:44, 5 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Jay, that message up there is a template we use to show new members some links to the basics and "how to" pages here at Wikipedia. This is the real Welcome. It looked like you might be interested in computer related articles, so I dug up a few links for you. There is one group (project) Computing that is a catch-all group, and another which is more related to security and protection called Computer and Information Security task force. I can't say that they are terribly well maned the way films, music, biography, and political projects are - but there's a few of us floating around. They will give you an idea of how are computer related items are laid out, and what's being worked on, but, I wouldn't be shocked if you left a message, and nobody replied for a couple days, but you can always click on one of the user's names, and leave them a message on their talk page. Well, I just wanted to say welcome, and wish you luck here. If there's anything I can do - just click on my "yes?" link (which goes to my talk page) and drop me a line - I'll try to help where I can. — Ched ~ ^(yes?) 20:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

clever edit

I noticed change to the stopzilla page. Having just had a bout with that application in my office, I have been searching for "non-forum" biased information to support that conclusion. I have come up dry. Any ideas? --69.126.0.230 (talk) 16:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked out hphosts, didn't know about that one. I've found *LOTS* of postings from people who have problems, (just google 'stopzilla review' + scroll past the obvious astroturf ) What I am hoping to find is a source that won't get deleted by a wiki editor that indcates that the program is the trash everybody knows that it is. --69.126.0.230 (talk) 20:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
