Customer privacy scandal[edit]

What is the matter with you? You are giving the web sites, phone numbers and everything needed for someone to steal a Sprint customers records! If you have a problem with Sprint, then go somewhere else. You are listing something that can hurt all of us cell phone customers.

Why don't you list how to hack T-Mobile's Sidekick OTA software? Or what about Verizon's and SBC phone record sales? You don't because none of that info is needed! I'm going to report you for this.

If your going to post that info, then post EVERYTHING RELATED TO PRIVACY ON ALL OTHER CARRIERS. YOU CAN'T JUST CHOOSE WHAT TO POST ON ONE CARRIER, THEN NOT FOR ANOTHER. Your topic does not help in anyway which leads me to think you are doing it just because you don't care for Sprint as a company.

1.If the issue has already been corrected, then why post it? 2.All of the other carriers have run into privacy related issues, why not post info on them? 3.Don't you think posting this info gives hackers a new idea? The article is step by step.

Tell me, How is that topic helpful to others?

License tagging for Image:Gallery Place Metro with sulfur lamp.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Gallery Place Metro with sulfur lamp.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Sulfur lamp[edit]

You know Sulfur lamp was a separate article a few months back, until someone came along and very vociferously and stridently insisted that it be merged with Induction lamp. Ah well, another turn of the wheel begins... ;-)

Repeat vandalism problem[edit]

I'm leaving this same message on the User Talk pages for "SupaStarGirl", "SDC", and "Mlzg4". In the past several days, all four of us have been involved in reverting apparent vandalism by user "MichaelIsGreat", who has recently posted a large section of identical content on the pages for both Bösendorfer and Player piano. This content appears to be totally and completely in violation of fundamental Wikipedia policies and guidelines - as I understand them. This user has reverted each of our attempts at removing this apparent vandalism, leaving somewhat emotional and personal near-attacks in the associated "edit summaries". I've just been reviewing various Wiki help/guildlines pages which discuss dealing with this sort of thing, and I'm not sure that I care enough about the two pages involved to pursue the rather formal steps required - particularly the ones that involve making direct contact with the user in an attempt to reason with them, something which I suspect will be particularly difficult in this case. For better or worse, Wiki does not appear to be structured in such a way that you can just immediately appeal to some higher authority to take unilateral action on an obvious problem. Anyhow, I have no idea if you will be interested in this, but I'm just kind of throwing it out to everyone currently involved, so that they know what's going on if they're interested, and that the problem may be a bit bigger than it anyone realizes. --Notmicro 08:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandals can be reported at WP:AIV if they have recieved several vandalism warnings. Emmett5 23:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Removal[edit]

SDC, I have noticed that are removing or partially removing many of my post and I am wondering why you are doing this. Considering I am using my knowledge of the British restaurant scene to try to add value to wikipedia. Can you please give me your reasoning.


SDC, thanks for your reply. I do apreciate that my site does enable bookings however people are expected to write about topics that they know. I did notice when you looked at my site that you did not read any of the articles or hundreds of restaurant reviews that have been writen about dining in London and other food related issues. I am not going to link to a site that I don't know anything about. I believe that linking to my site in the instance of [british cuisine] is highly relevant, also other links to toptable and london-eating are there, they are much more comercial than my offering so you cannot remove one but leave others.

I believe that the wikipedia project is worth my time and I am willing to write some articles however my site will always contain more content than I can write here, so I will continue to add links to my site as an external source where relevant.

Michael

Comorian franc[edit]

Hi,

I noticed that you added "(fixed rate)" in the Exchange Rate table of Comorian franc. The thing is, many currencies are pegged to euro or US dollar. So I'm wondering, are you ready to apply the same to those to maintain the consistency? --Chochopk 23:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't really thinking about the other articles, but your point is well taken. I haven't made a specialty of dealing with currency articles, just the Comorian franc article, which was something I knew about. Check the history; I wrote 99% of it. I just wanted to added the "fixed" note by the exchange rate in case someone skipped the whole article and just went down to the exchange rate table. I think it's a great convenience to let them know if a rate is fixed.
I assume you're adding the exchange rate table to all the articles. I agree that uniformity would be a good thing. Do you think that we ought to indicate there if a rate is fixed? What are your thoughts? SDC 01:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can totally see your point. I think I'll update the template and make changes across all applicable currencies in a few days. As you can see, I am a watch dog of consistency, who happens to be interested in currency. And you an expert of some other domain. I'm sure you would be glad to make Comorian franc more consistent with other pages. You can take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics#Standardized procedure of creating.2Fupdating an article for the overall structure, and New Taiwan dollar and other East Asian currencies (not all) for examples. Your help is much appreciated! --Chochopk 02:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your input on the Comorian franc article is most appreciated. As I said before, I knew about the Comorian franc. I've put nearly everything I know about it into the article. (I have a little bit more to do, I just haven't gotten around to it.) I don't know how the article compares to other currency articles. If there is a standard form, I haven't followed it. I organized it the way that seemed best to me. So if we need to re-arrange it, that's ok with me. I focused mainly on the monetary cooperation agreement with France, which makes it distinctive, although such an arrangement is not unique. I have a question? Does the USD exchange rate update itself, or will someone have to do that manually? Since it would appear that I'm the only person on Wikipedia interested in this currency (it is one of the least significant currencies), I can keep an eye on it. SDC 02:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, it has to be manual. Making it automatic is beyond my capability. But it is already better than the non-template version that people copied and pasted everywhere before. Also better than some random sentences where currency A has
As of xyz, currency A is traded at 1 euro = x units of A, 1 USD = x unit of A
And currency B has
The exchange rate of currency B is 1 unit of B = x euro and 1 unit of B = x GBP, as of xyz

Image:LG PLS.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:LG PLS.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

highly[edit]

Regarding your edit to Fabry-Pérot interferometer, isn't "highly-reflecting" correct grammar?--Srleffler 03:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adverbs ending in -ly are never hyphenated. Check any usage guide of hyphen. SDC 03:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I can never keep the rules for hyphenating compound modifiers straight. I didn't think to look it up on Wikipedia. Silly me. :) Glad someone's watching out for that.--Srleffler 03:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AWB and hyphenation[edit]

Hi SDC- I saw your AWB change to the hyphenated adjective "privately-owned" on Cape Cod. The term "privately-owned" is correct for that sentence because it is a compound adjective that precedes the noun. You will often see hyphenated adjectives used incorrectly, as in: "These houses are privately-owned." I guess the AWB designer is probably trying to find and correct such instances, but the bot is not yet sophisticated enough to analyze every case properly. I'm not terribly passionate about this, but wanted to remind you that AWB and other spell-checking routines are not foolproof and need human supervision. BTW, here's a cool pic from today with a title missing a hyphen: [2]. -Eric (talk) 13:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Machines shouldn't dictate writing style[edit]

Hey. Stop changing writing style in hundreds of articles without reading them. This is a big mistake.

Style guides do not say to absolutely never use a hyphen with an adverb ending in -ly. Writers need to use their judgment when writing, and can't be replaced by undescriminating automation. The Economist's style guide says "But if the adverb is one of two words together being used adjectivally, a hyphen may be needed ... Less-common adverbs, including all those that end -ly, are less likely to need hyphens," not "never need hyphens." The Times style guide (see adverbs) says "The best guidance is to use the hyphen in these phrases as little as possible or when the phrase would otherwise be ambiguous," not "never."

Also:

  • Cited titles must not be changed.
  • Direct quotations from written sources must not be changed.
  • Proper nouns must not be changed without applying editor's judgment.

Looking at just your last five edits finds problems:

  1. [3] "optically-triggered feedback maglev demonstration": without the hyphen, it could read like "optically triggered-feedback maglev demonstration".
  2. [4] "TOW (Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wired-Guided)" appears to be a proper noun, hyphenated by its manufacturer[5] and by the U.S. Army.[6]
  3. [7] You changed the title of a cited journal article! Go back and fix this.
  4. [8] This one may be acceptable, but perhaps the writer was trying to avoid this reading as "optically detected-magnetic resonance".
  5. [9] This one may be acceptable.

So in five randomly selected edits, there are arguably problems in the majority! Please stop using a machine to change writing style. Please go back over your edits and look for problems like these. Please restore cases where there are multiple adjectives strung together, and where you have altered titles of publications and direct quotations.

Better yet, restore all of the thousands of blind changes to text which was written by humans, and please don't automate any edits which affect writing styleMichael Z. 2006-11-14 18:14 Z

I really think this deserves your attention and some kind of response. I believe you've done harm to a number of Wikipedia articles, and you ought to take responsibility instead of just ignoring it. Michael Z. 2006-11-19 17:17 Z

Image copyright problem with Image:S. S. McClure.JPG[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:S. S. McClure.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. MECUtalk 16:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Better Source Request for Image:S. S. McClure.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:S. S. McClure.JPG. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. MECUtalk 16:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Jacobsen.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Jacobsen.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lokal_Profil 17:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Shimokitazawa, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. intgr 08:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think your removal of the information about combat pilots is technically a "minor" edit, since it removed substanitive content from the article. There's a reference for that sentence that I notice you didn't remove. Perhaps worth a comment on the article's discussion page? sallison 05:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correction. I see you removed your own edit. It seems like an interesting thing to put in the article, and there's already a reference. sallison 23:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I put in the combat pilot reference from a much-earlier reference in the article which I noticed had been deleted months before. I did it without thinking. And then I realized that it may have been deleted because it could not be verified. So I tried to verify it, but couldn't come up with a good source. In fact, I read one source which seemed to contradict it. So I took it back out. If we can verify it, then it belongs in. Since I took out my own edit immediately after putting it in, I figured no one would notice, and therefore, didn't bother to explain. But you have eagle eyes. That's a good thing. SDC 00:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ha! Thanks for the compliment. I just read the reference at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8108024 The last sentence is written a little awkwardly: "This is an unrecognized and previously unreported danger to fixed-wing and rotary aircraft pilots." Nonetheless, they mean that since no one was previously aware of this problem, those who need to use this information do not recognize it. Such statements of the novelty of an observation are common in scientific abstracts (though usually with clearer syntax). So in the end, I am confident that the whole meaning of the sentence and paragraph (and associated study) can be taken as to support the claim. I admire you for taking the time to read the abstract so carefully! You too have eagle eyes. Many thanks for your efforts. sallison 09:01, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
