On System Architect

Hi there. Good work on improving the article. I tweaked it a bit. The {{notability}} tag can be added and removed by any editor when they deem it proper to do so, but soliciting the opinion of other involved editors, as you did, is recommended and commendable.

If possible, please work in external links and book references into the article as references. The remaining links ought to be placed under one of the External links and Further reading sections, as per the layout guideline.

You may also wish to review the guidelines on capitalisation and external links for more information on how to conform to the Wikipedia house style. Happy editing. --elmindreda (talk) 05:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't link directly to book stores. Instead, use the built-in ISBN recognition functionality. Also, not all of the current external links seem essential. Lastly, the article still in my mind reads too much like a news release or advert, so I'm tagging it accordingly. --elmindreda (talk) 06:43, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's starting to look quite good. I moved things around a bit, making the book list into references. It unfortunately led to a few weasel words. If you can make it a bit more specific, that'd be great. I don't have the books for it. The feature list's overuse of capitalised terms is a real eyesore, but I guess it's somewhat unavoidable considering the field and topic, i.e. business computing is like that. I removed the {{external links}} tag as well, even though I personally still don't think they're all essential.

Also, a heads up in case you're editing other related articles; I've nominated Category:CASE Tools for speedy renaming. --elmindreda (talk) 07:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and to avoid confusion, please sign your posts on talk pages. --elmindreda (talk) 07:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant. I'll be leaving this article now. A pleasure working with you.

The speedy renaming I nominated the category for was strictly due to capitalisation issues (i.e. CASE Tools -> CASE tools). I am, after all, a gnome. If you think the category should be renamed entirely, a proposal will need to be submitted via the regular (slower) categories for discussion process.

Your signature worked as intended. Happy editing! --elmindreda (talk) 18:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited IBM Rational Focal Point, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Excel (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.

Walter Poenisch

When I saw a post on the Help Desk by User:184.57.16.157,[1] I wasn't aware of your Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Walter Poenisch effort. I created Walter Poenisch. Please feel free to continue editing at that article. -- Jreferee (talk) 09:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please merge into Walter Poenisch

Someone beat you to it by just a few days and created an article on the same topic. But can you take your content and merge it into the existing article to make it stronger? The other published article could use some work, and you have some good research here, it'd be a shame to lose it. Please merge your draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Walter Poenisch into the existing mainspace article Walter Poenisch. Thanks! MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:23, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited System Architect, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unicom.

FYI: Copy/paste

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give IBM System Architect a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into System Architect. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Russian submarine Kursk (K-141)

Re: Your edit here, with the edit summary "not sure why this addition to the page was removed; I contacted artist & they are aware & allowed 3rd party youtube post of their song.". When you reverted my edit, you would have seen that I clearly stated "not available". If you check YouTube, you'll see it is still unavailable, and clearly marked "This video is not available."
