Fushi Copperweld

Excuse me, what links did you remove and why? You suggest I was link spamming. In fact, I was not. I was listing the patent holder for Copper-clad steel manufacturing on relevant wiki entries. The only patent holder, and the only company (who in fact the Process of copper-clad steel is named after, Copperweld) to even be able to liscense the product, as a reference on an article about their invention. I just don't understand, please help me to understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.136.137.164 (talk) 00:14, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Can you explain then why other manufactures are listed on the same pages? Perhaps those should be removed too. On every page.. at least according to your logic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.136.137.164 (talk) 10:14, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

There is 1 other link on only 1 of the pages. I let it slide because the page has some claim of being informative, it's not a company that's consistently involved in Wikipedia-doctoring, and it wasn't added by a repeated linking guideline violator. But yes, it may well be removed.
PS: These are Wikipedia guidelines, not "my logic". -- intgr [talk] 11:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Zeitgeist Gnome3 IS NOT removable

hi, by personal experience i can state that REALY removing the gnome activity log with/witout zietgeist is NOT possible, unless you prefer a dead end computer in TTY1 having NO desktop at all, at least not reachable for the USER, the HUMAN, from which a computer is just a machinarial slave !!! So please do not remove EVERYTHING becouse you are to UNAWARE off the REALITY out side off your own narrow desktop...socialy spoken, that is ... go out side, have fresh air, be alive , and consider that you can revert your revertion ,..., why all or nothing, if a link is not aproopriete to YOUR standard !! so please READ what people say. THATS IS HUMAN !!! (i program in Z80 assembly since about ehe,....1990 ??) 95.96.201.236 (talk) 20:47, 8 November 2013 (UTC) i cant move it down 95.96.201.236 (talk) 20:47, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree, you cannot "remove" Zeitgeist entirely because Gnome applications are dynamically linked to the library. You can disable Zeitgeist by going to Gnome system settings, under Privacy, click "Usage & History", set it Off and Clear Recent History. There is no reason to remove it.
I am not going to re-add that text because it's written in inappropriate tone and consists of mostly unjustified claims. Zeitgeist does not upload any logs anywhere. Zeitgeist does not know anything about calls since there is no phone functionality in Gnome (Note that your cell phone probably does log them and most users consider that a useful feature). I think GPS/location functionality was planned, but never actually implemented in this software, though I could be wrong here. The Ars article with RMS that you linked is about Unity's Amazon search feature, nothing to do with Zeitgeist or Activity Journal, so no relevance to this article; it's already very well covered at Unity (user interface)#Privacy controversy. The other linked article gives inaccurate advice. First, the path is wrong; it should be /home/user/.local/... with the dot. And you can't use "rm" on a directory without the -r flag. And even if it was accurate, I don't think it would quality as an appropriate external link.
Sorry, I just don't see anything worth keeping from this edit. In the future, please provide proper sources for your claims. -- intgr [talk] 22:11, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Moon

Thanks for message, on the strength of which I took a closer look at the article. The lead is a bit spammy, but fixable. The rest of the lengthy text consists of character and episode summaries which are entirely unsourced and appear in identical words all over the web. There are two possibilities

  • The article is copied from another site and is a copyright infringement
  • All the sites copied from Wikipedia, and the unreferenced text is OR

Perhaps I didn't give the most appropriate tag, although there is no referenced indication of why it is notable, but this appears to be either copyrighted text or OR, and has virtually no content beyond that. I'm not persuaded that there is any point going to AfD on notability grounds when there are more obvious issues. There are too many of this sort of articles where editors just lift content from elsewhere instead of adding referenced text written in their own words. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:53, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I'd think other sites have copied Wikipedia, but it's impossible for anyone to research or dispute this because -- guess what -- you deleted it! :)
In any case, if this article is to be deleted, then a summary of it should get merged back into Jonti Picking (which itself isn't a great article, but certainly notable)
The character descriptions and episode summaries may be more relevant at http://weeblsstuff.wikia.com/wiki/On_the_Moon
-- intgr [talk] 11:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Well, as you have pointed out, you can read the text at the weeblsstuff site, so you know what's missing. That site says it gets its content from Wikipedia, so we are back to square one. Either the large amount of deleted text is copied from an as yet unidentified source, or it's massive unsourced OR. I'd be prepared to recreate without the disputed text (ie with the character names and episode titles, but no details) but I suspect that the first thing that would happen would be that all the unreferenced text would be replaced, still without any indication of a source. What do you think? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
As I said, your deletion is preventing me from knowing for certain, but I suspect weeblsstuff.wikia.com doesn't contain most of the content that was on the Wikipedia page. You also didn't address the point about merging a summary from "On the Moon" into Jonti Picking.
Unsourced content and original research is a content dispute and is not an argument for article deletion.
Look, we have two delayed deletion processes for a reason -- to let people (in particular non-administrators involved in editing a page) review the content and decide what to do with it. It also gives a chance for editors to search references and establish notability. I can understand the value of CSD on new page patrol where articles need to be deleted as fast as they're created. But using it for established articles, where multiple people have spent considerable effort on, is not appropriate. It's not like articles of this volume are popping up all the time.
It was my bad to request AFD. A PROD is probably more appropriate for situations like this. -- intgr [talk] 13:42, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
I think there are two issues here, which are becoming confused. Notability is a matter for prod/AfD, I agree. Content, if it is copyright or OR is a matter for speedy deletion. I've already offered to recreate without the disputed content, which would give you a number of options
  • Leave as is, given it's been around for a while
  • Then nominate for AfD or Prod on the notability issue (I have no views on this)
  • Add back the removed content with references to proper RS sources
What I'm not prepared to do is to recreate with the OR/copyright text intact. Your call, really Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:25, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Django MVC

Discussion on Django page. Hi, I am a little new to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I am doing something not right here. Anyway, I am not new to Django, though. I have been using it for all my web development work for 5 years and I found that its framework MVT is not merely an MVC with a twist. I have used MVC framework in other languages as well and they are quite different from MVT in django. I think changing this to reflect the way django community view itself should serve Wikipedia's best interest in looking more authoritative on the subject matter. I'd like to hear your point of view as well but as a heavy user of django framework, I find that current page needs some revisions to make it look right. Kontee (talk) 01:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

If you haven't yet, first please make yourself familiar with the verifiability policy of Wikipedia. To prevent people from arguing about opinions, we have a policy to require sources.
There are two official Django sources stating that it's an MVC framework and saying that the difference is mostly terminology: [1] [2] "Django follows this MVC pattern closely enough that it can be called an MVC framework"
As far as I can tell, the term "MTV" is invented entirely by Django and isn't even a proper class of frameworks. Stating that it's "an MTV framework" will only confuse people.
Now, the article could indeed use some additional explanation of Django's terminology. But please don't remove statements that say it's an MVC framework.
If you disagree, you're welcome to start a new discussion at Talk:Django (web framework) to get more opinions. (Feel free to copy-paste this topic there to start off). There was an earlier discussion at Talk:Django (web framework)#MVC pattern. -- intgr [talk] 09:12, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Rabin fingerprint

I suspect you are right that "it needs a cryptographic hash"[3].

Forgive me for reverting your edit mentioning "any cryptographic hash" back to "any hash function".

It is not clear to me why LBFS needs a cryptographic hash in the particular part of LBFS that uses the Rabin fingerprint.

I hope we can make the Rabin fingerprint article clearer to me and other readers. (Perhaps Talk:Rabin fingerprint is a better place to continue this conversation). --DavidCary (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Postgresql upcoming features

Do you realise I just renewed the earlier existing section "upcoming features"?

Such a section was there for 9.3, and that part is now of course integrated as 9.3 stuff.

Why are you for removing that section?

Kweetal 10:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware that there was a section like this for 9.3 and I think it needs to be deleted as well. Because Wikipedia is not the place for changelogs. See WP:NOT, particularly WP:CHANGELOG and WP:CRYSTAL. I am removing it now so that people don't spend any more time working on something that's not appropriate on Wikipedia.
The whole PostgreSQL article is a series of arbitrary lists and badly needs a clean-up. -- intgr [talk] 21:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
CRYSTAL doesn't apply to the near future (with a set date), at least (notable) movies. [It's a question if future releases of PostgreSQL is notable..] I guess planned features can be cancelled (at any time?). In case they are in beta I would say including is ok. As the upcoming release (as all) is open source it is released in some sense (and could be used, but not recommended for production, while testing is ok and recommended). Really all committed code is release (but not notable). Where should we draw the line (believe will end up in next release), beta, release candidate (alpha?). comp.arch (talk) 12:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Edit to Dual elliptic curve deterministic random bit generator

Why do you think adding "According to Snowden documents" is necessary for WP:NPOV? Nobody has disputed that NSA paid RSA Security $10 million to set it as the default, and RSA Security would surely have disputed it if it was not true. I would rather say that adding "According to Snowden documents" adds a false sense of a disputed fact. Thue (talk) 14:40, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

You're right. At first it seemed to me that RSA did deny it, but reading their response [5] closer, they actually didn't deny receiving $10M for changing the defaults; they merely said that they didn't know it was a backdoor (heh, willful ignorance). -- intgr [talk] 02:00, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
I have so for only seen two news sites on the Internet which reads RSA's blog completely correctly (parse exactly what RSA is claiming and not claiming), and so many misses - I have been emailing them corrections... The one who gets it most wrong is shamefully BBC News, but even Ars Technica is wrongly claiming that RSA asserted the deal wasn't secret :(. It is really rather ridiculous - trust is essential in RSA Security's business, but RSA is doing everything they can to knowingly deceive and mislead their customers, in a way that quickly becomes very obvious and very public, and will surely backfire.

Nomination of Hxxp for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hxxp is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hxxp until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. � (talk) 19:30, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

kpatch article

See also: User talk:Dsimic § kpatch listed at Redirects for discussion

Hello there! Regarding your note about not creating potentially misleading redirects, I totally agree and here's an additional explanation... I've created kpatch article as a redirect back at the time when kpatch and kGraft were announced, and my intentions were to turn kpatch redirect into a stub shortly after. Though, kpatch as a project went pretty much silent for a few months thus it hasn't reached the required notability level until a few weeks ago when the RHEL 7.0 was released, so the whole thing became postponed and here we are.

Point taken for the future, thank you! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 01:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

SHA3 removal

Sorry for not getting back to you before. But here you go. Also see WP:NOTLINK, WP:SPAM, WP:EL.

1. frontend development tools:

Hi,

The reason why I added my link is that your page about frontend development tools doesn't really display any tools. Thereby, the article I added is very reliable since I asked 56 frontend development experts (for example Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric A. Meyer & Jeremy Keith) which tools they.

I really think my resource belongs on that wikipedia page since your visitors are searching for information about frontend development tools, and now they only find means like html/css.

@Broesink: I agree, that Wikipedia article is bad, but these links are arguably not appropriate. You, as the author of given source, have a conflict of interest and should not be adding these links. You have attempted to add the same link to multiple articles, and re-added after being reverted, which is spamming. Sorry, all the odds are stacked against you. -- intgr [talk] 15:25, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Clear. Didn't mean to spam btw, I am new to wikipedia and made some mistakes. I do think it is strange that when I create an article which has way more valuable information than your wikipedia article, you type it as 'conflict of interest' but when you add it as a resource, the visitors might actually learn something more then the basics.

Re: Pioneer anomaly revert

Hi, re your revert on Pioneer anomaly. I agree that being published in a leading journal is of course relevant. However, for this paper I specifically searched crossref and the PRL website here and could not find the paper, apart from the arxiv preprint. As the arxiv paper states it was withdrawn it seems to me that the paper was never published in PRL. Do you know the exact citation of the published paper (the original page given doesn't match the PRL ranges in 2003 or 2004)? Otherwise it seems that {{cite arxiv}} is appropriate. Thanks Rjwilmsi 07:58, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

@Rjwilmsi: Hi. Sorry, I think I misunderstood the edit summary of your original edit. I also found this paper saying that the Anderson et al. paper appeared in PRL, but on a second thought that citation was probably copied straight from Wikipedia. I reverted my reversion. -- intgr [talk] 18:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Largest prime number/Collatz conjecture

Dear Intgr,

My contributions to the pages 'Collatz conjecture' and 'Largest prime number' have been removed on the grounds that these have been considered self-promotion. I just wanted to say that I am very disappointed. I think my contribution to the 'Collatz conjecture' was removed by somebody else so I will only be talking about 'Largest prime number' here.

I would like to say that I have spent a lot of time/made a lot of effort obtaining the results I have added to the page; and I had added to the pages to share these results with the community. Yes, there is nothing special about the base-10 number system, but I think it is still nice to see/confirm that we have a uniform distribution of digits. I ,myself, certainly was curious to see what the result of the histogram analysis would be; and I believe there may be others that would have been too. I really do not understand why you have considered this to be self-promotion when I was actually only sharing some (although not ground breaking as such) properties I found of the largest prime number with the community.

Also I would like to point out that you have removed the link I had at 'external links' to the actual digits of the prime number with another link (on the ground that mine was 'not neutral' just because they were on my web-page) but the number the link you have replaced it with gives has twice as many digits as there should be and it ends in 6 which means it would be divisible by 2 and hence can not actually be a prime number. I am sure you would have been disappointed too if you were in my place and very discouraged to make future contributions as well.

I would have been happy to work with you any issues you may have pointed out regarding my contributions rather than delete/classify them as 'self-promotion'.

Kind regards, Baris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bariskanber (talk • contribs) 19:00, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

While self-promotion was my first cause for removing, it's not the only reason why this content is inappropriate. It also goes against Wikipedia's guidelines about no original research and self-published sources.
"To share these results with the community" is the wrong reason to edit Wikipedia — your intention should be to improve the encyclopedia based on knowledge already out there, not to publish your findings. And when having discussions about what material to include/exclude, it should be about the merits of the source, not about "I spent a lot of effort on it". This behavior goes against the conflict of interest guideline.
And speaking of the source, if it were some more thorough study into the uniformity/randomness properties of the structure of the number, it might have something going for it. But simply counting the base-10 digits, I just can't get excited about.
I understand that you're disappointed, but surely that's not a reason to compromise Wikipedia's values.
You are right about the new link not actually containing a prime number. That's weird, I got the link from the original prime announcement press release. Thanks for pointing it out, I will remove it. -- intgr [talk] 20:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
I agree with the whole removal. @Bariskanber: Please make a talk page suggestion when you want to add your own research or links to your own website. You can use {{Request edit}}, but if the work has not been published by a reliable source then it will probably be declined. By the way, http://www.mersenne.org/primes/perfect/perfect57885161.txt is the associated perfect number as the url indicates. It is even and has twice as many digits as the prime. http://www.mersenne.org/primes/?press=M57885161 correctly states which link is the prime (http://www.mersenne.org/primes/digits/M57885161.txt) and perfect number. But I don't think the article should have an external link directly to a file with the decimal expansion. The announcement with various information, including a link to the file, is already in the external links. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi @PrimeHunter:, thanks for your comments. Since this was my first (failed) Wikipedia contribution, I was a novice. I do recognize now what can and can not be considered for addition in the encyclopedia. Regarding the link which, as you say, gave the associated perfect number; yes I do recognize that mersenne.org is not going to give something wrong, it is just that the title of the external link (digits of the prime) and what it actually gave (digits of the associated perfect number) did not coincide. As you have rightly pointed out, there probably isn't any need to have such a link anyway as the relevant information can already be found in the external links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.181.215 (talk)

— Alexei.av (talk) 14:24, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

@Alexei.av: I see, many new users fall into this trap of creating an article without realizing how strict some Wikipedia guidelines are. But following these, you should be fine:
  1. Every article must pass the notability guideline, citing multiple (at least two) independent reliable sources, with significant coverage of the subject (preferably full length articles about the project). No blogs, no official statements, no sponsored articles, no mailing list posts etc. If you can't do that, then it's just too soon to have an article.
  2. Stick to neutrally describing the facts. No lists of awards, no praise, no unnecessary adjectives, nothing you'd expect to see on a sales brochure. Only say what's backed up by sources. If that means your article is just one or two paragraphs long, no problem -- article length is not a factor in deciding whether to keep or delete. We call these "stub" articles, but that's not a criticism.
  3. Since you use the word "we", I presume you're affiliated with the project, so you have a conflict of interest, it's recommended not to edit the article. But if you stay neutral, demonstrate good faith and disclose your affiliations (preferably on the article's talk page and your user page), people won't mind. Just be extra careful with neutrality.

Typically it means that such editors are not here for the purpose of building an encyclopedia.

"Included in" vs. "included into"

Hello! Regarding your edit that changed "kpatch has been included into RHEL 7" to "kpatch has been included in RHEL 7", here are a few thoughts from my side... While the grammar analysis you've provided states that "included into" is entirely incorrect, both forms sound correct to me. In particular, "A was included in B" sounds to me like A and B joined from the beginning to form a brand new entity C; on the other hand, "A was included into B" sounds to me like B already existed and A was added later. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find a good reference to cover all that, and the closest thing I've found is this page from one book. Please have a look – it isn't that I'm objecting against using "kpatch has been included in RHEL 7" in the first place, it's more about a potentially interesting difference in meanings. :) Thoughts? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 04:42, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

@Dsimic: Not totally sure, but "included into" just sounds wrong to me.

"No point in linking to the archive if the original is still up"

That was the last edit on Webix. Well of course it's better to link to the original, but I do expect the original to be taken down for several reasons. What then? Should I keep an eye on the article and save an archive link somewhere, then come back and add it? -- Dandv(talk|contribs) 12:58, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dandv: Don't worry about it. You won't have to monitor it; if you don't notice it when it's down then someone else will do it. You don't have to "save" the archive link, you (or anyone) can easily look it up based on the original URL.
If you feel strongly about this, I won't mind if you re-add them. But I just don't think you should bother with archive links until the website is actually down. -- intgr [talk] 13:35, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Re: Hotline Miami

The link no longer directs to the intended page. The page frequently references a "Making Of" article, which was pulled down at some point. It therefore redirects to Edge's review of the game, which essentially makes the link completely incorrect.

Deletion from LZ4

Hello. You seem to be a productive editor.

This is a small matter. As it happens, I don't support your removal of the statement "In a worst-case scenario, incompressible data gets increased by 0.4%." (and sketchy source) from the LZ4 article.

By design, to quote the entire incompressible byte stream adds a quoting overhead of one 0xFF length byte associated with every 255 bytes of uncompressed data. It's slightly more OR than making an unsourced claim that wrapping quote marks around an N character string increases the representation to N+2 characters.

By taking this statement out, you are catering to the common misunderstanding that there is such a thing as a compression algorithm which only ever makes the object smaller. By far this is the more severe of the two evils.

I also don't support this removal (one-time-only IP editor):

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LZ4_%28compression_algorithm%29&diff=prev&oldid=653088035

Re: Removal of archive URLs

Archive URLs are important, even if the site going down or breaking its URLs eventually is an unlikely occurrence, or you complain simply because of loading time. Using the |deadurl=no parameter keeps the main copy as the primary URL. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:44, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

@ViperSnake151: Ok, that solves the immediate issue I had with it. But help me out here, what's the point of archive urls if the original site isn't going under? Has there been any previous discussion on this? You assert that they're important, but didn't . Seems to me like a waste of time and making wiki markup more complicated than it needs to be.
But I note that Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Dead url parameter for citations passed with no oppose votes so clearly the consensus is on your side. -- intgr [talk] 07:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi intgr,

I am new to Wikipedia, and SQL Shack is a site I read often being an SQL Server noob. I've been adding several links to SQL Shack articles because I think they would be a useful addition to existing Wikipedia articles, describing the same topic as linked SQL Shack article.

I've read the external linking guidelines, and I couldn't find the reason for considering these links a spam. I am wondering if writing a Wikipedia article about SQL Shack would help? If so, can I try creating this article and submit to others to review?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Milos.kosta (talk) 08:59, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Milos.kosta: Adding a link here or there is fine. But apart from one instance, all your edits have been adding links to the same sqlshack.com website. There were no links to it anywhere on Wikipedia prior to your edits, so this looks like it could be an attempt at promotion. WP:SPA and WP:LINKSPAM ("repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed") apply. Wikipedia's purpose is not to be a link directory, adding external links often leads to list creep and distracts from Wikipedia's primary purpose of aggregating useful facts and information.
External links are often included in citations, to back up claims made in Wikipedia. While adding citations to reliable sources is generally a good thing, I cannot recommend adding citations to sqlshack given your behavior now. (And I'm not entirely certain whether it satisfies WP:RS)
If you wish to create an article about SQL Shack, you need to make sure it can strictly satisfy WP:GNG: you need to be able to cite at least two-three sources that discuss SQL Shack in length, which are published by recognized media organisations. Articles that don't pass this requirement are often deleted. -- intgr [talk] 10:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
@Intgr: Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. I won't add links to sql shack. Also, I'll see if there are two-three recognizable sources discussing sqlshack before I try to create the article. -- Milos.kosta (talk) 11:15, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Counter mode

I'm writing regarding my edit from 18 May 2015‎: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Counter_.28CTR.29

Since nonce is a unique rather than random value, you can as well use a counter for it. Let's say you encrypt 2 blocks with nonce=0:

c[0] = m[0] xor PRF(key, 0 /* nonce */ xor 0 /* counter */)
c[1] = m[1] xor PRF(key, 0 xor 1)

Then, for another message, you do "nonce++" and encrypt other two blocks:

c'[0] = m'[0] xor PRF(key, 1 xor 0)
c'[1] = m'[1] xor PRF(key, 1 xor 1)

Now, as you can see, the second parameter to PRF in the c[1] case is equal to the parameter in c'[0] case. Thus, the one time pad is actually a two time pad, and xoring the ciphertexts will cancel out the encryption:

c[1] xor c'[0] = m[1] xor PRF(key, 0 xor 1) xor m'[0] xor PRF(key, 1 xor 0) = m[1] xor m'[0]

Hopefully now you see that this completely breaks under the chosen-plaintext attack. Note though that if you concatenate the nonce and counter rather than using xor/add, then this won't happen. Obviously you have to concatenate in a secure way, like having nonce and counter in two separate 64bit variables and storing nonce in upper 128bit, and counter in lower 128bit. You want to avoid doing just "string" contatenation, in which case you could end up with:

"1" /*nonce*/ || "11" /*counter*/ = "111"
"11" || "1" = "111"

This would also be completely insecure.

@Denis-relex: As a representative of the company, you should be very careful when editing the article, per Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline. Wikipedia articles should not consist of such large tables (WP:PROSE); and articles must conform to the neutral point of view policy, whereby most claims must come from secondary sources, not primary sources like the official marketing page for a product.

COI concern in Nicotine Withdrawal

Hi, In response to your restoring the comment about the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) editing the Nicotine Withdrawal page, I wanted to explain why I put that message in and why I deleted it. I was the one who made edits to Nicotine Withdrawal after getting some edit suggestions from other members of SRNT, which is a scientific group focused on learning about tobacco and nicotine and working to reduce tobacco addiction and use. I initially put the note in because I thought it would be nice to give the group some recognition. However, in retrospect I see that this is not typical on Wiki, and barring COI concerns, is generally not appropriate. So I removed it. The reason there is no COI concerns is that no one on the group was paid to do this or had any motive other than improving the accuracy and referencing of scientific information on the webpage. The group was not officially involved, it was just a few people in the group. Let me know if you have any questions. I appreciate your efforts in encouraging disclosures when appropriate, it is important. Thanks, - DrNicotiana — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrNicotiana (talk • contribs) 16:58, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

@DrNicotiana: COI is not only about getting paid. Being involved in an activist organization is also potential COI. Is there a good reason not to keep it? -- intgr [talk] 07:59, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
@Intgr: Hi. I hear you that COI is about more than being paid. I would respectfully like you to consider my request. The reason is that I don't want to imply these edits are on behalf of the organization, because they're not. Also, to clarify, SRNT is a scientific organization, not an activist one. My deletion request is that just like a doctor who is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology wouldn't be expected to nor would it be appropriate for them to put "This entry was edited by a member of the American Academy of Dermatology" on anything dermatology they edit, neither does it make sense here.DrNicotiana (talk) 16:05, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Removal of Tryad Article

Hello. I created the newest attempt of the article for the music collective called Tryad. I understand that this page has been created and deleted in the past, and that the page once again is at risk of deletion because of the lack of sources that are not self-published. Normally, I would try to find such sources. However, Tryad seems to have largely avoided a lot of media attention. Searching for the group on Google News brings up no news stories that pertain to the band Tryad. The closest I can get is articles that merely give links to their songs/website. Because of this, I ask you to understand that the use of self-published sources is because of the situation, not laziness. To put this in a different way, I would use other sources as soon as they emerge; and I ask that this article remain in the meantime to allow for awareness to spread, thus allowing for the publicity needed for those sources to be made. Muffins94 (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

@Muffins94: Sorry, but to remain fair, I can not withdraw my deletion. If the subject does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines then it does not belong to Wikipedia (yet?). Wikipedia has the notability guideline in order to fulfill the neutrality and reliability goals -- Wikipedia requires content to be verifiable via reliable sources. In particular, Wikipedia is not the place "to allow for awareness to spread" -- that sounds like using Wikipedia to promote the artist.
You're welcome to present your arguments in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tryad (4th nomination). The most persuasive arguments would be how the subject satisfies WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC.
If the article is deleted and at some point later Tryad does gain sufficient notability, then you can request undeletion at WP:DELREV. -- intgr [talk] 08:05, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
@Intgr: I have had the fortune to come across a rare treat: an interview with a couple of members of Tryad that is not self-published. Please kindly review the article once this source is incorporated. Thank you. Muffins94 (talk) 20:29, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

I was only documenting it for later years when the those terms are no longer current. But since you have challenged it, I'll try to find something. The problem is, some things are so obvious that news writers feel it would be condescending to the reader state them explicitly.

Spelling of "licence"/"license"

Hi Intgr, I see you reverted a load of my edits, in which I changed the spelling from "licencing" to "licensing", or from "licenced" to "licensed". You claimed WP:ENGVAR as the reason for your revert, however ENGVAR has nothing to do with it. In British English, "licence" is used for the noun, and "license" (and hence "licensing" and "licensed") is used for the verb. This is clearly set out in MOS:S. I accept that "licence" is technically correct as an alternative spelling of the verb, but this is not common in official or contemporary writing and so should not be used in Wikipedia (except in quotations). This has already been discussed on my Talk page. Bazonka (talk) 10:29, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

@Bazonka: Ok sorry, I was under the impression that "licencing" is a common spelling in British English, but I guess it's a common misconception instead. Anyway, I think you should get community consensus for correctness at WP:PUMP first and then link to that consensus from your edit messages. What should I do with my reversions, should I re-revert them all? -- intgr [talk] 14:21, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
No problem. I'm not sure I should raise it at the Pump as there is already lots of debate taking place both on my talk page and AN/I about the spellings so I don't want to confuse things by raising it elsewhere. (I thought it was all sorted when I wrote my note to you above, but it's started up again.) Consensus seems to be falling my way (backed up by good evidence) but there are some people who are stubbornly resisting. So in the meantime let's let your reverts stand, and I can change them again once the debate is finally settled. Thanks, Bazonka (talk) 14:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

File system fragmentation

Hi.

I am a little shocked the you deleted a sentence that had a source associated with and called it original research!

Here is what the source says:

It’s also somewhat of a misconception that fragmentation is not a problem on SSDs. If an SSD gets too fragmented you can hit maximum file fragmentation (when the metadata can’t represent any more file fragments) which will result in errors when you try to write/extend a file. Furthermore, more file fragments means more metadata to process while reading/writing a file, which can lead to slower performance.

And...

Additionally, there is a maximum level of fragmentation that the file system can handle. [... Read on]

This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 removed 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.

Reported Singleissuevoter for editwarring

Hi, I want to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving Singleissuevoter at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring for edit warring at Block chain (database). Ladislav Mecir (talk) 09:50, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

regarding Relex Group page

Hi, Intgr

Ok, so you did not propose the deletion of the page. That's fine. I have no notification or warning or email that the page was going to be deleted nor that it has been deleted. Today I randomly typed the name on Google and I noticed it had no hits on Wikipedia.

How can I find out who deleted it and why?


Whom should I contact?

Thanks for help, mate!
