Jupiter Ace

Thanks for your comments; I'll think about them and then respond. I don't understand why you want me to remove your comments, though: the Talk page is the correct place to discuss the article! One thing I will say here, though, is that we have no choice about the copyright tags. It is a policy of Wikipedia: either we play by their rules, or we don't play at all. We have to abide by US law because Wikipedia is based in the US. It's that simple. Loganberry (Talk) 02:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for your new comments on my User talk page. With regard to your "detective work", if you found those details in a reliable third-party source (eg a magazine review or a book) then that's okay. But remember that Wikipedia does not allow original research. Secondly, we need to use citations as much as possible. I have some old computer magazines from the 1980s that I can look through to help with that, but it will be quite a lengthy process. Thirdly, regarding the possible colour: I vaguely remember that Boldfield advertised a colour card (for the original Ace) in one of its catalogues, but I don't know whether it was ever actually delivered. Unfortunately I don't have that catalogue, and we can't rely on memory. Loganberry (Talk) 14:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

• • I believe that Ace, and not ACE is correct. We don't write AMSTRAD for the CPC machines, even though it's spelt in ALL CAPS on the box. Also, as I said before, the original advertising and manual mostly uses Ace, not ACE. And the Wikipedia Manual of Style also advises against ALL CAPS trade names. The other question is more interesting: the language was generally written FORTH back then, but is generally written Forth now. I'd be inclined to use "Forth" as that's the modern spelling, with perhaps a small footnote or parenthesis explaining that FORTH was used in the 1980s. Loganberry (Talk) 14:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

• • • A sales brochure is in copyright: the fact that it was given away free does not change this. So we can't use it unless there is a fair use claim, and "this is a better picture" is not good enough for Wikipedia. Sorry! Loganberry (Talk) 14:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

• • • • Logan: Better picture was not a reason... it was just description...

The question was the copyright issue on using what the owner GIVE away, He has the copyright, but the usage does not infringe copyright as is according to the usage intended by the owner.

There is were I still needed confirmation if it is not too much trouble. It is not that important.

BTW and to lighten the issue of simple linear and static sentences trying to rule a complex multi-dimension and dynamic reality they should serve:

Q: "What do you call a bus with 80 lawyers in the bottom of the river?"

A: "A good start!"

This is a joke from an (across the ocean) friend I can't recall.

It's one I enjoy to tell to the very few local lawyer friends I have. To their amusement and job-jokes collections.

Hope it helped to lighten your duties for some moments.

The reference you were looking for... I know were it was and is now in place, Don't waste your time. It's done, just check.

Thank you for your evaluation on the work done.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jupiter Ace may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Jupiter Ace shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit warring at Jupiter Ace

Per this complaint you are being warned. If you revert again at Jupiter Ace without getting prior consensus on the talk page, you may be blocked. The complaint is now three days old; if not, you would have been blocked directly. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:10, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jupiter Ace, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Keyboard. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

June 2016

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Jupiter Ace while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address per person. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:06, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jupiter Ace. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:06, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
