Tantek Çelik maddesinde Türklükle ilgili bölümü silerek kendi benliğinden bu kadar korktuğunu gösteren birini fazla kafaya takmamak gerekiyormuş demek.

Dear 85.96.61.75, unfortunately, my Turkish is not good enough to fully understand your comment. It seems to say something about being a Turk, something about erasing, something about myself, and something about being afraid, but I'm unable to piece it all together. Apologies.

Also since this is the English Wikipedia site, could you please provide your statement in English? Thank you for your time. -- Tantek 23:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GeSHi iCal / vCard support

Basically support for those can be done quite easily following the documentation provided with GeSHi. Just send the language file to the Maintainer (i.e. me ;-)) and I'll have a look for adding it. The examples you provided on the extension's page were a bit confusing on what you want highlighted. And since I often lack time and knowledge in most languages its BCP if someone who knows them sketches up the basic file.

NASCAR problem

Hi Tantek,

Following a request from User:Briansuda, I have userfied the article on the NASCAR problem. The copy is up at User:Briansuda/NASCAR problem. Feel free to work on it there, export it for use on other MediaWiki wikis using Special:Export and if you think there are sources to make it suitable for publication on Wikipedia (it would need to satisfy WP:GNG), feel free to contact me or another Wikipedia administrator. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:56, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited HTML Working Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Cotton (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of NaCl (software)

Hello Tantek,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged NaCl (software) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist (talk) 00:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User rights

Hello Tantek. Your account has been granted the "rollback" and "reviewer" user rights. These user rights allow you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and quickly revert the edits of other users.

Rollback user right

Please keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Rollback should never be used to edit war.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin).

Reviewer user right

The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection enabled is located at Special:StablePages. You may find the following pages useful to review:

Wikipedia:Reviewing, the guideline on reviewing.
Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of reviewer or rollback. If you no longer want either of these user rights, contact me and I'll remove it, alternatively you can leave a request on the administrators' noticeboard. Happy editing! —Tom Morris (talk) 07:08, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maciej Cegłowski article

Hello, thanks for expanding this article. But I believe the additions you have made are not necessarily that useful. By including what sounds like everything this person has ever done, it sounds way too promotional and like a CV, something I was trying to avoid in order to keep this article factual, basic and simple. (Also since someone has decided to tag it for deletion, it is important to me that it seems as spare and neutral as possible.) My concern is that by expanding it, you make its deletion more likely since it has begun to look like someone just copied their LinkedIn page over onto Wikipedia, a classic type of Wikipedia page that needs deleting as soon as possible.

I'm a fan of Mr. Cegłowski's writing, though I have never met with or interacted with him, so I am keen to see the article stay. I'm not sure that the edits you've added promote this, so my plan is to keep the citations you added but trim the article back down again to a more basic length. How does this sound? Feel free to write below and I will get back to you. Blythwood (talk) 02:27, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blythwood, my goal was to expand the article factually in such a way as other bio articles that have been reviewed and accepted, such as Mark Pilgrim, and Anne van Kesteren. I understand your concern that it may read like a CV, however I have only included items which have media references found in Google News, external to Maciej himself, except when he has himself been published in the media (which itself is a notable accomplishment as a writer). I believe the edits I added help make the article more "simply factual" rather than promotionary in tone. Let's work together to iterate on the tone of the prose of the article to provide a more NPOV, while keeping the list of his accomplishments that have numerous external citations. Thanks! Tantek (talk) 02:35, 20 June 2016 (UTC) (Update: I am also answering the CFD with a point by point response hopefully indicating how my edits have handled the concerns indicated in the CFD).[reply]
- OK. I have now finished my reformat, into what I think is normal for the Wikipedia style. Thanks for your additions. Re the "third time for deletion" complaint - this is an irrelevance, the user nominating for deletion didn't know how Wikipedia handles deletions. He had marked it to be considered for deletion through the "prod" system, which anyone can object to. Blythwood (talk) 03:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

June 2016

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to ISO 8601 may have broken the syntax by modifying 3 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

|quote=Truncated representation, as specified in [ISO.8601.2000], Sections 5.2.1.3 d), e), and f), is permitted.}}</ref>, and one may simply write "1981" to refer to that year or "19" to refer to

Proposed deletion of Micropub (protocol)

The article Micropub (protocol) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

primary source only, no indication of wider notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Insert CleverPhrase Here 00:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I've expanded the article (as intended when I created the stub), and removed the proposed deletion notice accordingly. Tantek (talk) 03:17, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Yan Zhu

Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. Tantek, thanks for creating Yan Zhu!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. We need more writings by other people about here. Forbes has a picture, but almost no text. We need substantial writings by independent people.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Thanks for the suggestion review. I'm fine with merging, however since the story / info about Trustico appears to still be evolving in the news, perhaps we can give it a week to settle and provide an opportunity for others to add opinions to the merge proposal?

Open Web

Tantek,

I just redirected Open Web to Web standards. I really don't know why jjb created this page in the first place. I've noticed a proliferation of pages on Wikipedia where people will go off and essentially create two different articles for the same thing just because it might be referred to by two different names, instead of doing the right thing and creating a redirect.

Do you want to go and add a blurb (or section, even) to the Web standards article to document the open web as an "ideology" (for lack of a better term) about how the web should be developed? I'm half motivated to redirect Web platform over to Web standards, too. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 06:00, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be best for any discussion to happen at Talk:Web standards#Web platform -- C. A. Russell (talk) 06:07, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

C. A. Russell, appreciate the heads-up and I agree - the discussion is better had on the/various Talk page(s). -Tantek (talk) 20:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of "Christopher Hadnagy"

A tag has been placed on "Christopher Hadnagy" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
