Computing[edit]

Guess which regular at RCS edits here as User:Sun-collector ;) I just discovered a project called Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites/Early web history task force. Another is Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Early computers task force. There is also a fun article at History of computer hardware in Soviet Bloc countries. --mikeu ^talk 12:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just added links from SPARCstation to your Sun4d page.--Sun-collector (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Meetup/Providence[edit]

I've started advertising the Nov. 8 and Dec. 13 open houses at RCS as wikimedia meetups. --mikeu ^talk 13:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Providence meetup is today. The plan is to try to meet between about 4-6pm and we'll be ordering pizza around 5pm. Note, that I will be there during the entire 1-8pm, and anyone is welcome to stop by, but I thought a more specific time might make it easier for people to plan attending. See the talk page for more info and discussion. --mikeu ^talk 13:02, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Edogawa Rampo[edit]

I apologized if I changed the name incorrectly. By the way, thank you for the comment on my talk page. I appreciate it very much. Once again, please accept my apology. All the best, Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No apology necessary! I don't feel knowledgeable enough about the issue to change your edits, I just wanted to let you know that it's an ongoing debate, and Rampo is a non-standard case. Shieldforyoureyes (talk) 21:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. :) Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Nova image[edit]

There's an image you took of a Nova machine that claims it's an 840. However, the lower right clearly reads "1220". Was this machine upgraded, or is the caption wrong? Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: I'm with the Commons:Retro-Computing Society of Rhode Island who are now in possession of the machine. The original 840 control panel broke and the owner replaced it with one from a 1220. The circuit boards are all 840. I'll update the note on the commons file page to clarify this. --mikeu ^talk 20:24, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mu301: Thanks! Actually I see there IS a note to that effect already, I didn't see the first time I looked. Welcome back BTW. Any input to the Nova article? I've been doing a pretty major re-write. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
