Bare URLs as references

Hi. I disagree with this edit. URLs in square brackets are fine as references. Bare URLs between ref tags are, however, not fine, as they render as a footnote containing only an ugly URL—not very encyclopedic. If you feel compelled to convert url links to footnote-style references, please at least look up the title of the linked page and put the URL in square brackets with the title as the displayed text. (The {{cite web}} template is an even better solution for footnote-style references to web pages.)--Srleffler (talk) 07:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you that the cite web template is the best solution, and I will try to use that as much as possible from now on. However, I disagree that URLs in square brackets are fine as references, since they display even less information (only the link number, nothing else). Also, according to Wikipedia guidelines on footnotes, it is more suitable to place all references at the end, which was my main purpose for the edit.

Thanks for patrolling

Thanks for your deleting of the broken link to Lawnbott, an article that no one ever got around to writing...however, I have to have written an article on that over at Wikia and I'll import it over here and restore the link, feel free to tell me what you think. - Dan Dank55 (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Btw, I apologize, it would have been more polite to re-edit rather than revert, I'm still new :) - Dan Dank55 (talk) 20:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Reverting in this case is legitimate and is not unacceptable. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 21:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Mozilla Digital Memory Bank

Dear Stephenchou0722,

I am a graduate research assistant at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. In recent years we have produced a number of online archives such as The September 11 Digital Archive (http://911digitalarchive.org/) and the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank (http://www.hurricanearchive.org/). Our team is currently gathering digital documents related to Mozilla products for the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank (http://mozillamemory.org), and we are in the process of interviewing some of the lead members, former and present, of the Mozilla community.

I recently found your Mozilla/Firefox-related contributions located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Firefox. Given your involvement with Mozilla, we think your voice would be an excellent addition to the archive. If you are interested in having your perspectives added to the record, we can conduct the interview via Skype, instant messenger, or email—whichever method might fit your schedule and preferences best.

I have included below the first three questions of the interview in order to give you a sense of the process. For examples of completed interviews, please feel free to examine the interviews section (http://mozillamemory.org/browse.php?cat=interview) of our archive.

If you are interested in contributing your perspectives on the Mozilla community and its products, you can reach me by e-mail at gcheong@gmu.edu. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding the interview process or the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best regards,

Giny Cheong

Merging the "Aculco" articles

Sorry to bother you but it was a mistake to merge the two articles. One is a town (Aculco de Espinoza) and the other (Aculco) is the seat of the "municpality" (similar to a county) Unfortunately, most "municipios" in Mexico have the same name as the largest town/city. The reason the two had similar information is that my students are writing these articles and we all got confused with the town/municipality confusion. Could you undo the merge and Ill have my student differentiate between the two artitcles? Thanks! Thelmadatter (talk) 23:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MS Word 2007.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MS Word 2007.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. FunPika 12:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kosovo

Thanks for the welcome. I've been inactive for a while. I know of the revert to my edit since I was the one who did the reverting (as I'm sure you know). The sandbox was not used since the edit for the lulz is meant for the amusement of people like yourself. Good job! And I'd like to welcome you as well to the talk page for Gkmx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gkmx (talk • contribs) 02:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Vista Firefox screenshot

Hello Stephen. When you take a vista screen shot for Wikipedia, it's best to use the software Window Clippings to take it. www.windowclippings.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Titan602 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I personally do not see the advantage of using the said software. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 20:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Basically, it looks nicer and easier for others to look at. --Titan602 (talk) 21:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll take your word for it. Thanks. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 22:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Windows Speech Recognition

Hi Stephenchou0722, very nice job expanding the article! I think the 3rd reference would fail WP:EL though - it's really more of an ad [1]. Bardcom (talk) 19:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Also, I replaced the third reference with two other ones, which I believe are better. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 20:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

MS Voice Command

I noticed you regularly make edits to MS related articles so I just wanted to say Hi. I usually edit without signing in (221.128.x.x edits are all me). Regarding the Voice Command article, is the Plus! version for WMP absolutely different from the WM version? Also, by chance, do you know which is the last version for WM2003? (I think 1.6 doesn't work with WM2003 but not sure) MS seems to have "forgotten" that they had any mobile OS prior to WM 5.0.

Granite

Hello - I would encourage you to remove the link you added to Granite - it is about puffins and curling, and adds nothing to the article on granite. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 16:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I was not the person who added the link, I merely formatted it as a reference. Second of all, if you even bothered reading the article, you would realize that it contains information on Ailsa Craig, once a major source of granite. Thanks. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

win7 is likely v6.1

please reconsider your modification to the following topic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Windows_7&diff=199756924&oldid=199756846

firstly, the section below has proved that the version number (as of now / milestone 1) is 6.1

second, my point was to try to emphasize that windows 7 is likely a point release instead of a major upgrade. that is why v6.1 is an important indics / proof for this.--Vikizh (talk) 04:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Images

Hey Stephen, first of all, thanks for your ongoing work on the computing articles, every bit helps! I have a quick request... when uploading images of Windows Vista or XP, could you do these two things?

• Put a {{WikiProject Microsoft Windows}} tag on the talk page, like this... "class" of image, and "importance", well, you decide how important you think the thing being pictures is relative to Windows as a whole.
• Set the category to "Screenshots of Windows Vista", "Screenshots of Windows XP", or "Screenshots of Microsoft Windows" (for other any version), and once you've got the rationale in place, add the "image_has_rationale=yes" attribute as well... like this.

This'll help us keep our stuff organised. Thanks. :) Also, your user page says you're from Ontario.... me too! -/- Warren 05:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

OK! From now on, I will do those two things! Thanks for telling me! Stephenchou0722 (talk) 14:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Centering

Hi Stephen.

I'm curious what browser you're using. You added a <center> tag, which is redundant with the table align=center tag. So I'm assuming that tag isn't active for your browser? SockPuppetForTomruen (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

<center> 
 {| class="wikitable" , align=center width=640  

I am using Firefox 3 Beta 5pre, and the align=center command does not work. I also just realized that the problem doesn't occur with Internet Explorer 7. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 00:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

Saw your note and tag. Happy to help make it more transparent. What does "remove article" mean in your edit comment? Do you think the article should be killed entirely?

--Shlishke (talk) 20:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry for the confusion! I do not think the article should be deleted. I was merely referring to "article" in the grammatical sense. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 20:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Once again, thank you ;)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Firefox Windows Theme.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Firefox Windows Theme.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

nice Image on ROC elections...

Dear Stephenchou0722, I have noticed that you have created a nice image on the 2008 Republic of China Presidential Elections. I would like to write articles on former ROC parliamentary and presidential elections in the German Wikipedia. Unfortunately the available images displaying the results of these elections look less professional:

• 
  2004 presidential
• 
  2000 presidential
• 
  1996 presidential
• 
  2004 legislative

There are no images showing parliamentary election results before 2004.
I could imagine that you own a template or vector graphics, so that it would be relatively easy for you to recreate these maps in a high-quality version. Could I motivate you to supply Wikimedia Commons with such images or with a .svg template?

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Activevirusshield.png}

Thank you for uploading Image:Activevirusshield.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Speedy deletion of Image:Filezilla.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Filezilla.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Filezilla.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File copyright problem with File:Windows Speech Recognition.png

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Windows Speech Recognition.png. 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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Fair use rationale for File:KAV logo.png

You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Courcelles 08:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

RC Patrol-related Proposals in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey

Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

1. Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
2. Editor-focused central editing dashboard
3. "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
4. Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
5. Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 01:11, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
