topic: my vanity in the wikipedia mirror[edit]

Please don't create any vanity articles... thank you. --Madchester 21:18, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, please detail exactly what you call vanity: i will reply with documentation or correct any personalism.

Autobiographical articles are generally not allowed at Wikipedia. They usually get deleted ASAP, as the site is not for self-promotion. If you are a person of notability, then someone else should be able to create a similar article on their own. --Madchester 02:17, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't sounds like a solution: what prevents someone from creating a fake account and then write his/her own propaganda page as someone else? Regarding my specific case, i created a page about me to link properly the pages of the software i write, which have been created mostly in 2004 by someone else. i have nothing to sell on any of the links i included (i run no commercial activity at all) and my notability can be easily verified with online searches, i also gathered an (yet incomplete) list of essays where my activity is being quoted: http://lab.dyne.org/JaromilTalks . About the forkbomb, consider that a book in Argentina has been published with it as a hardcover title: http://weblog.educ.ar/sociedad-informacion/archives/003275.php - still i get no money for it whatsoever, but, as a matter of fact, some place in history. Last but not least, i'd like to remark the fact that everything i do is free, i'm an active contributor to the opensource community we are both part of and i'm not doing self propaganda: with a page about my public identity i fill in some information missing regarding who did what with software - and tracking identity of authors is an important bit for the users to build trust towards their software. jaromil

Hey there. I just noticed that you created a page about yourself. I came over to see if anyone had mentioned to you that it wasn't generally well-received to that here, but found your talk page blanked. I'm not sure why you did that, since it wasn't that long, and people usually archive old talks, so it doesn't look like they're hiding something. You may have been trying to tidy up, it just kind of looked like you were trying to hide the conversation, which was actually what I wanted to know in the first place.

Discussion had stopped since 6 months, history is always there anyway. Do you have anything to add yourself? jaromil

I just wanted to see if you were aware of the taboo on writing articles on yourself, and don't see why you had hidden that discussion. That's all. NickelShoe 21:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should acknowledge i am aware: i did replied about the issue in the discussion above. Please don't wonder around the issue without making your point: in case you have anything to add you are welcome to do so, refer to the past discussion and progress from that. I refreshed the talk page because of 6 months of inactivity. jaromil 14:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I don't even know what you mean by that I should acknowledge, but I don't see what you're making such a big deal about. I was just going to give you a heads-up about it. I wasn't trying to get your article deleted or anything. I looked at the article and ran a google search and saw that there was probably good enough reason for you to have a page, I just wanted to make sure you knew people didn't like you writing it yourself. I was trying to be helpful. And I was just letting you know that the talk page thing seemed weird. I don't propose any "solutions" because I didn't think anything was that big a deal--I was just was trying to see what you were doing. I don't understand why you're so defensive about me just asking you stuff. NickelShoe 15:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

gosh, you spend years doing free software and then people is still asking you which license you are releasing a screenshot? :D jaromil 19:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please read through Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before writing or editing articles about yourself or your work. It's often difficult to write about your own projects in a neutral way. Wikipedia is not a site for self-promotion or advertising. — Omegatron 14:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

my conclusion[edit]

I would like to apologize for having created an article about myself. Before doing that i didn't RTFM and realized there are stubs and proposals and a policy of not creating your own articles which IMO *makes sense* (but is not easily appliable, eh!) Why i did it? as i said, there were already 3 articles about my software which were quoting me, when i found that out i just created a page about me. vanity? a joint too much? I'm an artist! ... well, nevermind. encyclopedize me fairly, please. jaromil 19:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

topic: MuSE[edit]

Can you explain how MuSE is a client when it serves streaming audio? — Omegatron 14:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Choosing a term which is more specific to streaming, it is a source client: records, mixes and encodes the audio, then sends it to the icecast server - it is not a server because it doesn't directly serves listeners. The feeding of content by a single source client is not a server functionality, it is instead to be considered as a backend role, a "publishing client". hopefully this documentation can help clarify http://flossmanuals.net/muse http://flossmanuals.net/icecast jaromil 23:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! — Omegatron 15:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
