CSD G4

[edit]

Hey ZacBowling. CSD G4 is a common source of confusion. I have deleted Zygon: When Being Me Is Not Enough but not as a repost. G4 is only for articles deleted after debate at an XfD process such as WP:AFD, and does not apply to articles previously deleted on a speedy basis. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please continue to do so! We need all the help we can get.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pastebin

[edit]

Hi ZacBowling, your more recent edit to the Pastebin article removes the only citation showing where the date(s) come from.. I think, with or without the 'chronology' there, should the ref not still exist? --Slepp (talk) 04:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The quote wasn't really necessary to prove who came before who. The data in the ref tags wasn't really a citation, but just said how they came to that conclusion which goes along with WP:OR. A ref tag with the ling to archive.org after the year is ok though. -ZacBowlingtalk 04:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you take a look at the Gnopaste discussion on the main article? Mosez considers me too biased to remove it. --Slepp (talk) 22:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ZacBowling, can you take a look at the sendmecode.com guy? He keeps adding, I keep removing, soon enough I'll pass the 3 revert rule.. --Slepp (talk) 04:24, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

.net framework, clr

[edit]

Zac, I largely agree with your edits. Regarding ECMA 335, while true that it does not define the CLR, it does define the runtime virtual machine. (or, as it says, the Virtual Execution System). So how about if we phrase it as

"...which includes the Common Type System), the Common Intermediate Language, the runtime virtual machine, and the C# language to ECMA and the ISO engineering board, making them available as open standards [1]. Third parties are free to implement those components on other platforms."

Also is the distinction "engineering board" necessary? Wouldn't it be good enough to just say "ISO" ?

cheers Leo

just ISO is fine. I know someone is going to replace "runtime virtual machine" later with CLR :-P ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain this edit please? You threw away a lot of my work with no explanation. This article is already subject to a lot of contentious editing, so I really don't wish to undo your reversion without understanding what is going on. / edg 05:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, vandal patrolling and it was flagged (contained a long list of keywords. I reverted it back. ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very kindly. This article has been prone to terrible edit wars. That reversion was very scary. / edg 06:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very curious here. What set off the alarm on that one? My edits weren't unusual for that article. / edg 06:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I already cleared it off my screen, but I use a common list of words associated with vandalism. Also my vandal program only shows me one edit at a time, but the revert link will revert all the changes made continguiously. Need to tweak that feature. List of words I start out with is here: User:Lupin/badwords :-) ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I use Lupin's tools, but not that feature. Thanks for filling me in. / edg 06:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does My Bum Look Big?

[edit]

I added that name to the list of shows screened on TV3 in New Zealand not because I was being smart and vandalising the page but because that is the name of one of the shows screening on TV3 right now. [1] That is the link to the show. So I was not vandalising the page when I added that link. 202.169.213.241 (talk) 06:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, ok. Best to add a <ref> tag around it. Better yet, create an account because your not as high on the vandal patrolling lists. ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Socks

[edit]

Thanks for alerting me to him, tell me if you spot any more. --Chris 09:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yah, I've got my watch list auto-refreshing. :-) ZacBowling (user|talk)
Thanks--Chris 09:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Mono search?

[edit]

As far sa I remember, c# version was rather slow (I think Brion had some benchmarks somewhere), and used some kind of hacks to actually work. I guess it could have been fixed, however, since I am much more comfortable in java it was completely recoded from scratch in java. --rainman (talk) 16:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request

[edit]

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

What to do about possible vandalism

[edit]

I occasionally check the page on the Police Gazette as I'm a fan. But this time I noticed someone calling themselves Newspaperpublisher had gone in and added a bunch of new information, most of it dubious. They'd also deleted an acceptable paragraph that has been part of the article for quite some time. I went in and restored the deletion, and undid most of the additions as they lacked sources (and probably aren't true anyway). Newspaperpublisher then reversed my edits, and provided sources that are very suspect and don't seem to support the largest contentions anyway. What should I do? --SHBpedia (talk) 17:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of PROD from Susie Frazier Mueller

[edit]

Hello ZacBowling, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Susie Frazier Mueller has been removed. It was removed by Atama with the following edit summary '(Removed proposed deletion. COI is not a reason for deletion.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Atama before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) (Learn how to opt out of these messages) 14:13, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How to improve the article

Hello ZacBowling, i am writing an article on Haselfre Solutions. First of all, thanks for removing the deletion notification and giving me sometime to gather reference for its notability. I am reading the guidelines. Thanks for your advise. Melquirrajan (talk) 12:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


User talk:Jackygage ‎ (Level 1 warning re. Profile of Herbert Adams (Sculptor) (HG)) (top)

[edit]

Can you help with an article I have posted on Wikipedia? I would like to delete it as it is not noteworthy enough, but I do not have enough experience or knowledge to do it correctly and I think ZacBowling gave me a level 1 warning about the way I tried to delete the article. The article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile_of_Herbert_Adams_(Sculptor) Thank you for your help. Jackygage (talk) 23:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
