I wrote the content both on stackoverflow and on wikipedia. Is that still an infringement?

  • @David.brossard: Yes (for now), because we have no way to know who you really are, or what the copyright arrangements you had when publishing the text. You can privately verify all this by following the steps at WP:DCM. Note that by so doing, you are releasing that content under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), and with the understanding that the content you donate is subject to continuous editing by the Wikipedia community. It may be added to, subtracted from, rearranged, illustrated, split into multiple articles, translated into other languages, and otherwise changed beyond your expectations.
  • If this all sounds good, just reply here saying what you will do. Otherwise the infringing content (convenience link: [1] ) will have to be re-written. Thanks, CrowCaw 22:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have rewritten the content. And yes, of course, I am happy for the content to be continuously updated.user:David.brossarduser talk:David.brossard 22:26, 07 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious statement

[edit]

"Developers have always struggled to write XML and therefore a new, more lightweight, notation was necessary." This is a dubious statement and should ideally have a reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.195.82.117 (talk) 04:22, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 June 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Abbreviated Language for Authorization. Under Wikipedia:Article titles#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, abbreviations should not be the article title unless they can be shown to be both the WP:COMMONNAME and the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for what they describe. The first of these was shown, but not the second, so the policy to "avoid ambiguous abbreviations" carries. It was also noted that, per WP:TITLEFORMAT, the term "for" should be lowercase.

WP:COMMONNAME. Or do you want to start saying Extensible Markup Language instead of XML? Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 14:12, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If Extensible Markup Language were not the primary topic for XML then I would totally be content with titling its article at Extensible Markup Language. But that's moot because it is the primary topic. Likewise if this were the primary topic for ALFA then I would totally be content with titling it at the acronym. But that's not the case, so here we are. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:02, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See also Wikipedia:Article titles#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations. You've argued the first bit, that the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation, but not the second bit, that that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject. Given the widespread ambiguity of ALFA, I'd say the second requirement isn't true. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If this were moved, "for" would not be capitalized according to normal title case, right? Dekimasuよ! 06:11, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
True. * Pppery * it has begun... 12:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
