WikiProject Software Announcement
[edit]- Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there.
- WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software.
- To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security!
- All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page.
- I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly.
- New IRC server! The old channel on Freenode is not used anymore. See See here. Manual for using IRC can be found here for why. Find us at:
Server host | irc.libera.chat |
Port | 6697 |
channel | #wikipedia-en-software |

Tasks to finish

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

WikiProject Software to do list
[edit]- The following topics are missing an article; calling all enthusiasts to start these articles urgently. [Read the Talk page]
- Gordian Knot (software), AutoGK, a bit obsolete, but still worth an article, or two (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeSweet)
- Topaz Labs (software), photo editing software in the same vein as Photoshop or NIK software. The company has expanded and is used by many various fine art and photography professionals. www.topazlabs.com. Deserves an article.
- (please feel free to add more)
- The following articles need some updating and cleanup (please feel free to add more):
- BlueSpice for MediaWiki
- Cabri Geometry, article too short but of significant importance
- Defraggler
- EmEditor, needs notability references, and general improvements
- Ext4
- Flowtracer
- Google File System, tagged with {{Expert-subject|Software|date=November 2008}}
- Home Assistant (seems to be consensus that this needs cleanup from uninvolved editors after its 2nd AfD, as of 2021-04-02)
- Hypervisor, the PCs and desktop systems section needs attention
- Jv16 powertools [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- KVIrc
- Light (web browser), just created, it's decently written but still really short, and it's not part of this project yet
- mdadm, mostly non-encyclopedic content (HOWTO/manual)
- Micro Transport Protocol, widely used since uTorrent 2.0 released
- Ntfsprogs
- Norton 360
- Recuva
- Presentation Manager, requesting screenshot of GUI, also needs references
- Program Information File
- Software as a service
- Windows library files
- XNUMBERS
- Zamzar
- Zero Install, a bit confusing article, needs to be explained more clearly
- Autodesk Media and Entertainment, major content deletion happened for cleanup on 17 March 2008 (11,000K to 2,000K), and now it's so outdated & stub-like it needs a total rebuild
- List of web application frameworks, go through the articles of listed frameworks and nominate for deletion the non-notable ones, clean the list from non-notable ones, clean Template:Application frameworks
- Aviary (application suite) Needs major updating, referencing, and clean up.
- Scrumban article reads like a sales brochure and I don't have the subject knowledge to fix it.
- The following page lists articles that need expert attention from WikiProject Software and have been tagged by {{Expert-subject|Software}}:

Fair use rationale for Image:Triplefault.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Triplefault.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:55, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Stupid vandal noob
[edit]I had to revert your vandalism on the Korn article. --Pwnage8 (talk) 00:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- The edit you made to the Korn article actually removed content, and the irony is that you thought you were reverting vandalism. You were not. Apparently, you didn't understand what I meant, so regretfully, I have to spend a few extra minutes explaining it you. But then again, worse things have happened, as we shall see. Look at the history of the article. If you were indeed reverting vandalism, your revision would be 40,704 bytes. But your change made it 40,698 bytes, which means you removed content. It just so happens that I was the one who noticed this, and so I reverted back to the correct version here. Since you're a new editor, and obviously don't know how to revert vandalism, here is a link that will help you. As for archiving my talk page, I will do so when i feel it necessary, so your request was very much in vain. Sorry! I will also remove that garbage you wrote in my guestbook. That does not belong there. --Pwnage8 (talk) 03:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Re: Wikiquette
[edit]Sorry about that, I had to leave the house for quite a bit. I'll go do that now. :) Green caterpillar (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
You know me.
[edit]Yeah I knew her from a while back. How did you come across me? Seems like your quite the Wikipedian. Your user page is huge =]
If you want to converse easier and more privately, email me. dhpc_raptor@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarondoucett (talk • contribs) 01:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
A Big Thank You!
[edit]For reverting the vandalism on my user page. I hope we can put the past behind us and be friends! You're a great editor, and I didn't mean to rub you the wrong way last month. I apologize for any distress that the incident caused you. --Pwnage8 (talk) 13:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Nice work getting the 20th signature on my guestbook ;) --Pwnage8 (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
