Please read WP:V

Please read WP:V under burden of evidence. You can't just restore content because you've slapped a fact tag on it. The material has been challenged and removed. You can't restore it without citation.--Crossmr (talk) 22:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

There is no requirement to put a fact tag or anything and leave it there for awhile. The PSP homebrew article before clean-up was little more than a massive list of homebrews and firmwares, there is no need for the dark alex article to be the same thing especially since its likely to be merged since no one has found anything else that remotely speaks to his notability.--Crossmr (talk) 01:19, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Solutions

I am agreeable to working out a solution that preserves the information, and in even creating the combo-article myself. I even set up a workspace a yesterday for possible userfication of the material if deleted, in the plan of doing just that. The AfD is becoming too boistrous for constructive discussion, but I wish to thank you for your reasonable offer of compromise. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Changing other user's opinions in AfD

Please do not make substantive changes (basic formatting) to other users' comments at AfD discussions. It is a not a vote it is discussion. Thanks RobScheurwater (talk) 17:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Please do not vote twice in AfD discussions. This is indeed a discussion so there's no need to vote each time you add a comment. I've also indented your message to make it clearer who you were answering to. Laurent (talk) 17:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Like I said it is not a vote but it is discussion DON'T ever again edit my opinion RobScheurwater (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Indenting a comment and removing a duplicate vote is hardly "editing an opinion". Laurent (talk) 19:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Poetic License AfD

Hi Laurent,

Just thought I'd let you know that you forgot to tag Poetic License with the AfD tag on the article page when you nominated it for deletion. I got it taken care of for you. Thanks, Matt (talk) 04:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Radio Tales AfD

When you nominated that big batch of Radio Tales articles for deletion last month, you seem to have omitted three of the articles from the list. I've now nominated those at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Time Warp (radio), where you may wish to comment. Deor (talk) 00:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Removing the Bone The Fish link from the Jumping the Shark article...

Without even bothering to look into it first.

http://www.bonethefish.com/aboutus.php

“ TVGuide crushed a site that was near and dear to many viewers, and had us laughing daily. The powers that be at TV Guide decided: let's take a great community, a very interesting concept and a ton of valuable input and make it a redirect to a subdirectory of garbage that looks like a tabloid. That was the great demise of one of the greatest websites of all time, which unfortunately fell victim to its own namesake (which will not be named here, but we are sure you can figure it out)!

We vowed to keep the spirit of "the site that shall never be named" alive in theme and spirit. That spirit was given a name in March of 2009- "Bone the Fish". This early time frame is when things can fall apart without the help of the fans - be it a movie series, tv show, celebrity or movie group. We value the opinions of our new fans and community, and we realize that people indeed want to vote on their favorite BTF moment.

So take a minute, sign up for the new BTF revolution and comment and vote until your fingers are worn to the bone!

This website seems to have only been around for a month and doesn't provide such useful contents. It's more like a kind of forum where people are invited to give their opinions, and thus is a link that should normally be avoided. For example, how useful it is to say that Buffy The Vampire Slayer "sucked from the first episode"? What additional information are people going to get from that? Laurent (talk) 09:49, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for removing useful links from OnLive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.122.52 (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Of course, it's quite natural for a brand new website to not get huge overnight! Still, that's not a really good excuse to jump to conclusions and declare that the site is not useful! TMC1982 (talk) 02:44 p.m., 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Day Planner Calendar

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Day Planner Calendar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

This is an article about a widget I've created, however it's not really notable so it can be deleted (At the time I've created the article, I wasn't aware of Wikipedia's notability and COI guidelines).

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Appetizer

Thank you for admitting you are the author of Appetizer. At this point I'm going to ask you to stop making any edits related to Appetizer or other dock-like applications. We have clear rules on conflict of interest and you clearly have a conflict of interest in this matter. Making COI edits can result in your account being blocked. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 00:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

One of the biggest problem with Wikipedia is people trying to use it to promote their own interests. Please do the right thing. By all means, if you want to contribute to articles where you have a clear conflict of interest please suggest edits on the Talk pages and let other editors make them. If Appetizer is really notable, it shouldn't need the lead developer to come to Wikipedia and write an article about it. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 16:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

+Rollbacker

Hi there - you asked for it, you've got it. Please check WP:ROLLBACK and only use this for obvious vandalism otherwise any administrator can remove it from you. In case you're interested, rollback allows you to use Huggle Fritzpoll (talk) 17:43, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Great, thanks Fritzpoll! I didn't know about Huggle, I'm going to have a look at it. Laurent (talk) 19:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:Farooq Bakshi AFD

Hello Lauren1979, thanks for your message. I do not doubt that the author's words are false as it is true that many newspapers etc. do not have online websites. I did find a few websites that did discuss the person in question, however (1, 2). I will make more corrections to the article later. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 01:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

What the?????

You destroyed my webpage, why????????

You didn't provide any sources for your comments and since they were rather offensive, I've removed them. If you want to put them back, please reword them and provide a source. Thanks, Laurent (talk) 17:16, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Closed system

There can be no perfect closed system. A practical "near-perfect" closed system is nothing but an assumed theoretical scenario. When we talk about earth's revolution, it does not mean that it has to be enclosed into something. We are only considering the revolutiory activity alone as a "near-perfect" perpetual system which invlves no(little) external influence. The fact that the duration of 1 revolution changes vey little evey year is a proof for this. I have only said "near-perfect" closed system. If you disagree, can you justify your claims please.Vayalir (talk) 01:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Earl Kelly

Lord knows why you reverted my edits on the article Earl Kelly. I edited the page in the first place because some fool had vandalised it, So, i've reverted your revision back. All Waterloo Road character articles have the same layout - the Earl Kelly article should not be any different 92.8.28.9 (talk) 13:44, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to revert all your changes. I only wanted to change "4x01" to "season 4, episode 1", which I think is clearer to most readers. Regards, Laurent (talk) 20:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Protection on your user pages

24 hours protected from new and unregistered editors - let me know if you want this removed or extended. Fritzpoll (talk) 22:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delet this

Why did you delet this:

A songwriting competition is a contest whereby musicians submit original music to a third party or forum, generally to win a prize or some other benefit. Songwriting competitions have existed long before the advent of the Internet, but today many are conducted through websites or musician forums. An example is the John Lennon Songwriting Competition in New York, which was founded by Yoko Ono in 1997 and has existed both online and offline. Other important songwritingcompetitions are Unisong in Los Angeles http://www.unisong.com or the International Songwritingcompetition in Nashvile http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/.

Does this make any sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.25.4.126 (talk) 12:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

On which article? Laurent (talk) 12:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Turkish Brigade at Korean War

Turkish Brigade a Korean War is a special interest for me. I have many sources on this subject. Including.

Memoirs of Brigadier General Tahsin Yazici. Memoirs of the Translator attached from South Korean Army to Turkish Brigade. Official history of Turkish army for this campaign.

None of the sources I have read has never wrote anything about a demotion. Every source always referred to Commander Tahsin Yazici as Brigadier General. The Brigade had a separate Colonel serving under Brigadier General Tahsin Yazici. The source of that sentence probably confused. Besides there is no voluntary demotion in Turkish army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.246.82.77 (talk) 15:45, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your contribution, however I removed your comment from the article because it wasn't the right place to put it. If there is something you would like to discuss, please do so directly in the article talk page: Talk:Turkish Brigade. Of course, you are also welcome to edit the article directly - though instead of writing "this statement is wrong", delete the said statement and write what you think is right instead (and provide the source). If you have any questions let me know. Regards, Laurent (talk) 15:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I do not know the protocol of editing. As I can not show a source for something that did not happen; you can simply delete that sentence as clearly there is no direct source for that sentence.

You know that is the biggest weakness of Wikipedia. Instead of relying on primary sources most of the historical articles are using tertiary sources which are written by people who does not know what they are talking about in the first space. When I write an article (i have only few, none at Wikipedia) I always use primary sources as reference and double check them with more modern sources (sometimes primary sources exaggerate).

There is no discussion for Turkish Brigade. Maybe i can start one. What is the protocol of editing an article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.246.82.77 (talk) 18:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

There are no particular protocols to edit on Wikipedia. Simply open the article and click on the "Edit" link on the top of the page, or follow this link. One of the core ideas of Wikipedia is that as long as you follow common sense when you edit the article, you are most likely doing it right. You may want to have a look at the Five pillars of Wikipedia though for a quick summary of Wikipedia's guidelines. Also have a look at WP:SOURCES for the sources that are normally acceptable.

What do you mean by "primary source"? As mentioned in WP:SOURCES, "articles should be based upon reliable, third-party published sources", which I assume is the case of the sources you mentioned? In any case, I'd suggest you go ahead and start editing the article. Be bold and don't worry about making mistakes since it's always possible to fix the article later on! Regards, Laurent (talk) 20:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

revert of my revert-correction on Snes9x?

Hi! Why have you reverted my edit on Snes9x article, what did I do wrong? I posted a comment on the talk page, I corrected an obviously mistaken edit, I posted a reference for the correction in the talk page? Plz revert the edit back to the correct information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.7.30 (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've put back your changes. However I tend to think that Snes9x is a free software even though it doesn't allow commercial use. I will ask on the software reference desk later on to get some more opinions. Laurent (talk) 09:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thx! Glad the article states that status correctly now. Its impossible for a free for non commercial use only licence to be accepted as free software or open source licence, all three definitions of that status - FSF's Debians and OSI's - agree on that, I hope you know that now. Well, a small wiki contraversy is worth getting ppl to understand the meaning of free software better :) --193.198.7.30 (talk) 07:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

jerometrammel.weebly.com is a self-published source and therefore can't be used on Wikipedia. If Jerome Trammel is indeed an internet celebrity there must be some third party reliable sources talking about him. Laurent (talk) 12:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
